Principal risks of investing in the fund

 

  n At any given time, the fund may be subject to sector risk, which means a certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. The fund is not limited with respect to the sectors in which it can invest.

 

  n Investing in micro, small and mid-sized companies involves risks not associated with investing in more established companies, such as business risk, significant stock price fluctuations and illiquidity.

 

  n International investing presents certain risks not associated with investing solely in the United States. These include risks relating to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies, the custody arrangements made for the fund’s foreign holdings, differences in accounting, political risks and the lesser degree of public information required to be provided by non-U.S. companies. The fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in the securities of non-U.S. issuers. Securities of Canadian issuers and American Depositary Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

 

  n Portfolio turnover is greater than that of most funds, which may affect performance.

 

About indexes used in this report

 

  n The unmanaged Standard & Poor’s Composite Index of 500 Stocks (the S&P 500 registered trademark— Index) is an index of common stocks frequently used as a general measure of U.S. stock market performance.

 

  n The unmanaged Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Fund Index represents an average of the performance of the 30 largest mid-capitalization growth funds tracked by Lipper, Inc., an independent mutual fund performance monitor.

 

  n The unmanaged Russell Midcap—registered trademark— Growth Index is a subset of the Russell Midcap Index, which represents the performance of the stocks of domestic mid-capitalization companies; the Growth subset measures the performance of Russell Midcap companies with higher price/book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.

 

  n The unmanaged Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which represents the U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bond market (including government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities), is compiled by Lehman Brothers, a global investment bank.

 

  n The fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.

 

  n 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

 

  n Effective July 16, 2004, the fund management team for INVESCO Dynamics Fund became Paul J. Rasplicka and Michael Chapman. The previous fund management team was Timothy J. Miller and Michelle Espelien Fenton.

 

  n Bloomberg, Inc. is a well-known independent financial research and reporting firm.

 

  n 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.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

 

     Dear Fellow Shareholder in The AIM Family of Funds —registered trademark— :
[GRAHAM

   After a brisk run-up in 2003, markets seemed to pause in 2004 in what appeared to be a holding pattern. During the 12-month period covered by this report, market sentiment shifted from enthusiasm over an economic recovery to caution. Rising interest rates, inflation—especially in surging oil prices—the war on terrorism and the upcoming presidential election created uncertainty in the markets, resulting in relatively flat returns year to date in 2004 and a downturn in July.
Robert H. Graham   

This pattern was especially evident in the equity markets. The S&P 500 Index gained 13.16% over the 12 months ending July 31, 2004, but much of the upswing occurred in the latter part of 2003. Year-to-date as of July 31, 2004, the S&P 500 Index returned 0.02%. Performance declined in July, with the index returning -3.31% for the month.

    

The fiscal year proved especially challenging for the fixed-income market, especially near the end of the reporting period. Stronger-than-expected employment growth, an increase in inflation and the anticipation of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve caused a sell-off in the bond market during the second quarter of 2004. The Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.84% for the fiscal year covered by this report, but only 1.14% year-to-date as of July 31, 2004. Considered a good proxy for the U.S. bond market, this index includes fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, U.S. agency investments, U.S. Treasuries of various maturities and U.S. corporate bonds.

    

In a period of uncertainty like the one covered by this report, we encourage shareholders to look past short-term market performance and remain focused on their long-term investment goals. Whether markets rise, fall or go sideways, the only certainty is their unpredictability, especially in the short run. Historically, markets have risen over the long term, with the S&P 500 Index returning 13.34% over the past 25 years and the Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returning 9.24%.* While past performance cannot guarantee future results, we believe that staying invested for the long term offers the best opportunity for capital growth.

    

For information on how your fund performed and was managed during the fiscal year covered by this report, please read your fund managers’ discussion on the following pages. We hope you find it informative.

    

Shareholders were recently sent a prospectus supplement and question and answer document pertaining to settlement agreements among AIM and INVESCO with the Attorneys General of Colorado and New York and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to resolve market-timing investigations. We will continue to post updates on our Web site, AIMinvestments.com, as information becomes available.

    

As always, AIM is committed to building solutions for your investment goals, and we thank you for your continued participation in AIM Investments —servicemark—. If you have any questions, please contact our Client Service representatives at 800-959-4246.

 

Sincerely,

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

Industrial/energy holdings boosted fund returns

 

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004, INVESCO Dynamics Fund Investor Class shares returned 10.77%. Investor class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge. Returns for other share classes are shown in the table on page 3. Over the same period, the fund trailed the S&P 500 Index and Russell Midcap Growth Index which returned 13.16% and 14.79%, respectively. Compared to these benchmark indexes, the fund had greater exposure to technology stocks, which generally lagged the broad market during the fiscal year. Strong stock selection, however, helped the fund outperform its peer group index, the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Fund Index, which returned 10.05%.

 

Market conditions

 

U.S. stock markets generally posted positive returns, some in the double-digit range, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. However, a large part of the equity markets’ gain came in the first part of the reporting period or late 2003. To illustrate, the S&P 500 Index—often considered representative of the stock market in general—posted a return of 12.17% in fourth quarter of 2003. During 2004, the S&P 500 Index returned just 1.69% and 1.72% for the first and second quarters, respectively as equity markets entered a holding pattern in which investors weighed inflation concerns against job growth statistics.

 

The economic expansion that began in 2003 took hold in the first half of 2004, triggering a rise in inflation and the expectation of higher interest rates. In the calendar year 2003, inflation averaged just 1% but rose to an annual rate of 2% during the first half of 2004 as energy prices soared and demand increased for commodities and industrial materials. In response to these trends, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) increased the federal funds target rate from 1.00% to 1.25% at its late June 2004 meeting.

 

Gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of economic activity, grew at an average annual rate of 5.8% in the second half of 2003, and at a more restrained 3.7% in the first half of 2004. Meanwhile, monthly job creation averaged 60,000 in the fourth quarter of 2003, but averaged about 200,000 during the first half of 2004.

 

As of the close of the fiscal year, more than 87% of S&P 500 Index firms reporting second quarter earnings met or exceeded expectations, according to Bloomberg. On average, earnings of S&P 500 Index firms were more than 25% higher for the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same quarter last year. Earnings were especially strong in the materials, energy and information technology sectors. For the fiscal year covered by this report, small-cap stocks generally outperformed mid-cap stocks. Both outperformed the market as a whole.

 

Your fund

 

Stock selection and sector exposure were the primary determinants of fund returns and relative fund performance during the fiscal year. When selecting stocks for the fund, we continued to maintain a balance of high quality, “core” growth stocks for stability and earnings acceleration or less seasoned companies that have strong near-term prospects for appreciation. “Core” companies serve growing markets, are industry leaders and generally produce solid financial returns. Earnings acceleration companies show accelerating growth, driven by product cycles, favorable industry conditions and other factors that can lead to rapid sales or earnings growth.

 

A good example of a “core” company is fund holding Robert Half, a temporary staffing company. Fueled by improvement in U.S. labor markets, the company announced that companywide revenues rose 33% year-over-year as a result of increased demand within each of its areas of specialization, particularly in its staffing operations.

 

Murphy Oil, an oil and gas exploration and production company which reported record second quarter 2004 earnings, helped boost the fund’s energy sector return. Murphy’s

stock rose more than 50% during the fiscal year. Our exposure to this company provided a real boost to relative fund performance as Murphy Oil is not included in the Russell Midcap Growth Index.

 

In the telecommunication services sector, two wireless service providers—Nextel Partners and American Tower—bounced off depressed early 2003 stock levels and rallied amid a rebound in the wireless industry.

 

Select fund holdings in the technology and health care sectors proved a drag on fund performance during the fiscal year. Fund holding Novell Inc., a networking software company, illustrates the roller-coaster like trend many tech companies faced during the fiscal year. Coming off depressed stock values in March 2003, Novell’s stock rallied strongly through year-end 2003, but declined in 2004 as earnings estimates were pared back in the face of lower demand for its products.

 

In the health care sector, Valeant Pharmaceuticals, an example of what we define as a potential core company, detracted from fund performance. During the fiscal year, shares of this research-based specialty drug company declined amid a decrease in royalty revenue, as well as an increase in selling, research and development costs. We continue to the own the stock, however, as we believe the company has strong long-term growth prospects.

 

On July 16, 2004, near the close of the reporting period, INVESCO Dynamics Fund changed portfolio management with Paul Rasplicka and Michael Chapman comprising the new management team. We would like to assure shareholders that the fund’s primary objective—long-term capital growth—has not changed. In executing this objective, the new management team will continue to seek stocks with sustainable growth characteristics and use a combination of “core” and earnings acceleration holdings.

 

One change the new management team implemented during the reporting period was a reduction of the fund’s weighted median market capitalization to bring the fund more solidly in the mid-cap range. To reduce the fund’s market cap, several of the fund’s larger-cap holdings were sold including Boston Scientific, a worldwide developer and manufacturer of medical devices, and Illinois Works, a diversified manufacturing company. The team also trimmed some of the larger fund positions with a goal to reduce single stock exposure.

 

In closing

 

Throughout the reporting period, we remained committed to the fund’s investment objective of seeking growth of capital by investing principally in the stocks of mid-cap companies.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

 

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 fees (12b-1); 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 February 1, 2004 - July 31, 2004.

 

Actual expenses

 

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

 

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional 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 transactional 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 February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. The actual cumulative returns at net asset value for the period February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 were -6.14%, -6.51%, -6.50%, -6.20% and -6.15% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Investor Class shares, respectively.
2 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (1.30%, 1.95%, 1.95%, 1.40% and 1.18% for Class A, B, C, K and Investor class shares, respectively) multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Effective on April 1, 2004 the Board of Trustees approved a revised expense allocation methodology and effective on July 1, 2004, the Fund adopted new agreements for transfer agency and administrative services with differing fees. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these changes had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.18%, 1.83%, 1.83%, 1.28% and 1.08% for Class A, B, C, K and Investor class shares, respectively.

3 The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $5.69, $8.80, $8.80, $6.17, and $5.21 for Class A, B, C, K and Investor class shares, respectively.
4 The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $5.92, $9.17, $9.17, $6.42 and $5.42 for Class A, B, C, K and Investor class shares, respectively.

LONG -TERM PERFORMANCE

 

Your fund’s long-term performance

 

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.

 

Your fund’s total return includes reinvested distributions, fund expenses and management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends. Performance of an index of funds reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not. Performance shown in the chart does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or sale of fund shares. Performance of the indexes does not reflect the effects of taxes.

 

In evaluating this chart, please note that the chart uses a logarithmic scale along the vertical axis (the value scale). This means that each scale increment always represents the same percent change in price; in a linear chart each scale increment always represents the same absolute change in price. In this example, the scale increment between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same as that between $10,000 and $20,000. In a linear chart, the latter scale increment would be twice as large. The benefit of using a logarithmic scale is that it better illustrates performance during the fund’s early years before reinvested distributions and compounding create the potential for the original investment to grow to very large numbers. Had the chart used a linear scale along its vertical axis, you would not be able to see as clearly the movements in the value of the fund and the indexes during the fund’s early years. We use a logarithmic scale in financial reports of funds that have more than five years of performance history.

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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

 

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. Investor Class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value. Class K shares do not have a front-end sales charge; returns shown are at net asset value and do not reflect a 0.70% CDSC that may be imposed on a total redemption of retirement plan assets within the first year.

 

The performance of the fund’s share classes will differ due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

 

Had the advisor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses on Class B and C shares, performance would have been lower.

Institutional Class shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at net asset value. Performance of Institutional Class shares will differ from performance of other share classes 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 net asset value. 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 800-525-8085 or visit AIMinvestments.com.

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 February 1, 2004 - July 31, 2004.

 

Actual expenses

 

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

 

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. The actual cumulative return at net asset value for the period February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 was -5.94% for Institutional Class shares.
2 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.66% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2004

 

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

 

INVESCO Dynamics 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 four separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently offers 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. On November 25, 2003, the Fund was restructured from a separate series of AIM Stock Funds, Inc., formerly known as INVESCO Stock Funds, Inc. to a new series portfolio of the Trust.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers, trustees, employees and agents are 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. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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 as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices 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. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are 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 questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers in a manner specifically authorized 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. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). 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. Investments in open-end registered investment companies 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 closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

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. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund’s shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an 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, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds.

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

 

F-7


 

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 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. 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 use a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
D. 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, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
E. Expenses — Until March 31, 2004, each class bore expenses incurred specifically on its behalf (including Rule 12b-1 plan fees) and, in addition, each class bore a portion of general expenses, based on relative net assets of each class. Effective April 1, 2004, 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 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.
F. 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 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 an exemptive order from the SEC, 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”). 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 underlying security and loss of income.
G. Foreign Currency Translations — 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 prices 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.
H. 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. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably.

 

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 net assets as follows:

For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004 the Fund paid advisory fees to AIM of $12,787,240. Prior to November 25, 2003, the Trust had an investment advisory agreement with INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”). For the period August 1, 2003 through November 24, 2003, the Fund paid advisory fees to IFG of $6,336,554.

Effectively November 25, 2003, AIM entered into a sub-advisory agreement with INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (“INVESCO”) whereby AIM paid INVESCO 40% of the fee paid by the Fund to AIM. Effective July 16, 2004, the sub-advisory agreement between AIM and INVESCO was terminated.

AIM has voluntarily 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 Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares to 1.30%, 1.95%, 1.95%, 1.40%, 1.20% and 0.95%, respectively. 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 Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares to 2.00%, 2.65%, 2.65%, 2.10%, 1.90% and 1.65%, respectively, through July 31, 2005. 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 Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed the caps stated above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items (these are expenses that are not anticipated to arise from the Fund’s day-to-day operations), or items designated as such by the Fund’s Board of Trustees; (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 only 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. Further, 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 year ended July 31, 2004, AIM waived fees of $91,277.

For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AIM reimbursed class-specific expenses of the Fund of $0, $5,747, $20,733, $32,754, $898,314 and $0 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares, respectively. Prior to November 25, 2003, IFG reimbursed class-specific expenses of the Fund of $0, $542, $76,669, $22,361, $2,066,444 and $0 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares, respectively. For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AIM reimbursed fund level expenses of the Fund of $53,747. Prior to November 25, 2003, IFG reimbursed fund level expenses of the Fund of $0.

For the year ended July 31, 2004, at the direction of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP PLC (“AMVESCAP”) has assumed $261,198 of expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with matters related to both pending regulatory complaints against INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM, including legal, audit, shareholder servicing, communication and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement, are included in the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, the Fund paid AIM $1,107,980 for such services. Prior to November 25, 2003, the Trust had an administrative services agreement with IFG. For the period August 1, 2003 through November 24, 2003, under similar terms, the Fund paid IFG $590,345 for such services.

The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. (“AISI”) a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. Prior to October 1, 2003, the Trust had a transfer agency and service agreement with IFG. For the period August 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003, IFG retained $0 for such services. For the period October 1, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AISI retained $4,581,116 for such services.

The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. (“AIM Distributors”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, 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 K and Investor Class shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K Plans, pays AIM Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.35% 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 0.45% of the average daily net assets of Class K shares. Of these amounts, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class B, Class C or Class K 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. 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. The Fund, pursuant to the Investor Class Plan, pays AIM Distributors 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 the Investor Class shares. Pursuant to the Plans, for the year ended July 31, 2004, the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Investor Class shares paid $42,055, $21,241, $137,592, $191,240 and $9,520,723, respectively. AIM has reimbursed $296,311 of Investor Class expenses related to an overpayment of prior period Rule 12b-1 fees paid to INVESCO Distributors, Inc., the prior distributor and an AIM affiliate.

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. For the year ended July 31, 2004 AIM Distributors advised the Fund that it retained $8,292 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0, $3, $1,249 and $0 from Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI, INVESCO and/or AIM Distributors.

NOTE 4—Expense Offset Arrangements

 

During the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund participated in a commissions rebate program whereby a portion of commissions on trades placed through an administrator with our broker were rebated to the Fund. These commission rebates were used to offset custodian fees in the amount of $175,702 payable to SSB, the custodian of the Fund and the administrator of the commission rebate program. The commission rebate program was discontinued in November 2003.

 

NOTE 5—Trustees’ Fees

 

Trustees’ fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an “interested person” of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested.

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 that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.

Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

During the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund paid legal fees of $7,217 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 SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO 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. During the year ended July 31, 2004, the average interfund borrowings for the number of days outstanding was $19,476,279 with a weighted average interest rate of 1.92% and interest expense of $69,460.

Effective December 9, 2003, the Fund became 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. The Fund did not borrow under the facility during the year ended July 31, 2004.

The Fund had available a committed Redemption Line of Credit Facility (“LOC”), from a consortium of national banks, to be used for temporary or emergency purposes to meet redemption needs. The LOC permitted borrowings to a maximum of 10% of the net assets at value of the Fund. Each fund agreed to pay annual fees and interest on the unpaid principal balance based on prevailing market rates as defined in the agreement. The funds which were party to the LOC were charged a commitment fee of 0.10% on the unused balance of the committed line. The Fund did not borrow under the LOC during the period until its expiration date on December 3, 2003.

 

F-10


 

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 in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated at an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points.

 

NOTE 7—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 borrower 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 a loss on the collateral invested.

At July 31, 2004, securities with an aggregate value of $20,896,009 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $21,329,950 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral net of income rebate paid to counterparties of $120,856 for securities lending transactions.

 

NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

 

Distributions to Shareholders:

 

There were no ordinary income or long term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended July 31, 2004 and July 31, 2003.

 

Tax Components of Net Assets:

 

As of July 31, 2004, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

 

     2004  

Unrealized appreciation — investments

   $ 309,490,648  

Temporary book/tax differences

     (319,080 )

Capital loss carryforward

     (3,234,525,553 )

Post-October currency loss deferral

     (249,290 )

Shares of beneficial interest

     5,983,407,162  

Total net assets

   $ 3,057,803,887  

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $206.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses.

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. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of July 31, 2004 to utilizing $3,223,134,471 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005.

The Fund utilized $814,113,954 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of July 31, 2004 which expires as follows:

 

Expiration    Capital Loss
Carryforward*

July 31, 2010

   $ 944,300,702

July 31, 2011

     2,290,224,851

Total capital loss carryforward

   $ 3,234,525,553
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

 

NOTE 9—Investment Securities

 

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2004 was $3,662,733,979 and $5,223,727,837, respectively.

 

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of
Investment Securities on a Tax Basis
 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities

   $ 423,107,423  

Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities

     (113,616,981 )

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities

   $ 309,490,442  

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $2,773,170,364.

 

F-11


 

NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences

 

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforward limitations and net operating losses, on July 31, 2004, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $30,486,911, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $198,978,662 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $229,465,573. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

 

NOTE 11—Share Information

 

The Fund currently offers six different classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, Class K shares, Institutional Class shares and Investor Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with CDSC. Class K shares, Institutional Class shares and Investor Class shares are sold at net asset value. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares and Class K shares are subject to CDSC. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after the end of the calendar month of purchase.

NOTE 13—Legal Proceedings

 

The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to regulatory inquiries and litigation related to a wide range of issues. These issues include, among others, 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 and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans.

As described more fully below, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”), the former investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds, has reached an agreement in principle with certain regulators to resolve civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds. A I M Advisors, Inc. (“AIM”), the Fund’s investment advisor, also has reached an agreement in principle with certain regulators to resolve investigations related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds. AIM expects that its wholly owned subsidiary A I M Distributors, Inc. (“ADI”), the distributor of the Fund’s shares, also will be included as a party in the settlement with respect to AIM. In addition, IFG and AIM are the subject of a number of ongoing regulatory inquiries and civil lawsuits, as described more fully below. Additional regulatory actions and/or civil lawsuits related to the above or other issues may be filed against IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. Additional regulatory inquiries related to the above or other issues also may be received by IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.

As a result of the matters discussed below, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds.

 

Agreements in Principle and Settled Enforcement Actions Related to Market Timing

 

On December 2, 2003, each of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the State of New York, acting through the office of the state Attorney General (“NYAG”), filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his former capacity as the chief executive officer of IFG. At the time these proceedings were filed Mr. Cunningham held the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc. (“AIM Management”), the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. Mr. Cunningham is no longer affiliated with AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado, acting through the office of the state Attorney General (“COAG”), filed civil proceedings against IFG. Each of the SEC, NYAG and COAG complaints alleged, in substance, that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds’ prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds’ independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds were named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. AIM and certain of its current and former officers also have received regulatory inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds.

On September 7, 2004, AMVESCAP PLC (“AMVESCAP”), the parent company of IFG and AIM, announced that IFG had reached agreements in principle with the COAG, the NYAG and the staff of the SEC to resolve the civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds. Additionally, AMVESCAP announced that AIM had reached agreements in principle with the NYAG and the staff of the SEC to resolve investigations related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds. All of the agreements are subject to preparation and signing of final settlement documents. The SEC agreements also are subject to approval by the full Commission. Additionally, the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia is agreeable to the resolutions with other regulators. It has subsequently been agreed with the SEC that, in addition to AIM, ADI will be a named party in the settlement of the SEC’s investigation.

Under the terms of the agreements, IFG will pay a total of $325 million, of which $110 million is civil penalties. AIM and ADI will pay a total of $50 million, of which $30 million is civil penalties. It is expected that the final settlement documents will provide that the total settlement payments by IFG and AIM will be available to compensate shareholders of the AIM and INVESCO Funds harmed by market timing activity, as determined by an independent distribution consultant to be appointed under the settlements. The agreements will also commit AIM, ADI and IFG as well as the AIM and INVESCO Funds to a range of corporate governance reforms. Under the agreements with the NYAG and COAG, management fees on the AIM and INVESCO Funds will be reduced by $15 million per year for the next five years. IFG will also make other settlement-related payments required by the State of Colorado.

Despite the agreements in principle discussed above, there can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory final settlement with the regulators, or that any such final settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, including but not limited to A I M Capital Management, Inc., AIM Funds Management Inc., INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (“IINA”), INVESCO Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc. and INVESCO Senior Secured Management, Inc., from serving as an investment advisor to any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if AIM is so barred, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund’s investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted.

None of the costs of the settlements will be borne by the AIM and INVESCO Funds or by Fund shareholders.

At the direction of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds, AMVESCAP has agreed to pay all of the expenses incurred by the AIM and INVESCO Funds related to the market timing investigations, including expenses incurred in connection with the regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM.

The payments made in connection with the above-referenced settlements by IFG, AIM and ADI are expected to total $375 million. Additionally, management fees on the AIM and INVESCO Funds will be reduced by $15 million per year for the next five years. Whether and to what extent management fees will be reduced for any particular AIM or INVESCO Fund is unknown at the present time. Also, the manner in which the settlement payments will be distributed is unknown at the present time and will be determined by an independent distribution consultant to be appointed under the settlements. Therefore, management of AIM and the Fund are unable at the present time to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of the settlement amounts may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund’s financial statements 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 ongoing matters described below may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

NOTE 13—Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

On September 8, 2004, Mr. Cunningham’s law firm issued a press release announcing that Mr. Cunningham had agreed to resolve the civil actions against him by paying the SEC and the NYAG a $500,000 civil penalty, to accept a two-year ban from the securities industry and to accept a five-year ban from serving as an officer or director in the securities industry.

On August 31, 2004, the SEC announced settled enforcement actions against Timothy J. Miller, the former chief investment officer and a former portfolio manager for IFG, Thomas A. Kolbe, the former national sales manager of IFG, and Michael D. Legoski, a former assistant vice president in IFG’s sales department. The SEC alleged that Messrs. Miller, Kolbe and Legoski violated Federal securities laws by facilitating widespread market timing trading in certain INVESCO Funds in contravention of those Funds’ public disclosures. As part of the settlements, the SEC ordered Messrs. Miller, Kolbe and Legoski to pay $1 in restitution each and civil penalties in the amounts of $150,000, $150,000 and $40,000, respectively. In addition, the SEC prohibited each of them from associating with an investment advisor or investment company for a period of one year, and further prohibited Messrs. Miller and Kolbe from serving as an officer or director of an investment advisor or investment company for three years and two years, respectively. The SEC also prohibited Mr. Legoski from associating with a broker or dealer for a period of one year.

 

Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning IFG

 

IFG, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the INVESCO Funds have received regulatory inquiries 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, some of which concern one or more INVESCO 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, and investments in securities of other registered investment companies. These regulators include the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the NASD, Inc. (“NASD”), the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. IFG and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, some of which concern one or more INVESCO Funds. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries.

 

Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning AIM

 

AIM, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the AIM Funds have received regulatory inquiries 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, 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 and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans. These regulators include the SEC, the NASD, the Department of Banking for the State of Connecticut, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. AIM and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the DOL, the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Securities Division and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Market Timing

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, AIM Management, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and/or certain of their current and former officers) making allegations substantially similar to the allegations in the three regulatory actions concerning market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds that have been filed by the SEC, the NYAG and the State of Colorado against these parties. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iv) breach of contract. These lawsuits were initiated in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the “Panel”) has ruled that all actions pending in Federal court that allege market timing and/or late trading be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. All such cases against IFG and related defendants filed to date have been conditionally or finally transferred to the District of Maryland in accordance with the Panel’s directive. In addition, the proceedings initiated in state court have been removed by IFG to Federal court and transferred to the District of Maryland. The plaintiff in one such action continues to seek remand to state court.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Use of Fair Value Pricing

 

Multiple civil class action lawsuits have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG and/or AIM) alleging that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violations of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) common law breach of duty; and (iii) common law negligence and gross negligence. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; interest; and attorneys’ fees and costs.

NOTE 13—Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Excessive Advisory and Distribution Fees

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, IINA, ADI and/or INVESCO Distributors, Inc.) alleging that the defendants charged excessive advisory and distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale. Certain of these lawsuits also allege that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iii) breach of contract. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements and distribution plans; interest; prospective relief in the form of reduced fees; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Distribution Fees Charged to Closed Funds

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by charging distribution fees while funds and/or specific share classes were closed generally to new investors and/or while other share classes of the same fund were not charged the same distribution fees. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; and (ii) breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Mutual Fund Sales Practices and Directed-Brokerage Arrangements

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, AIM Management, IFG, AIM, AIM Investment Services, Inc. (“AIS”) and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM and INVESCO Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM and INVESCO Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iii) aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in Federal courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements and distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid; an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

 

NOTE 14—Subsequent Event

 

The AIM and INVESCO Families of Funds received requests from the SEC for information concerning the Funds’ use of exchange traded funds and other registered investment companies, as well as compliance with Section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. After reviewing responsive information, the SEC issued a letter subsequent to the period ended July 31, 2004 asserting that the Fund entered into certain securities transactions during the period June 2, 2002 to May 31, 2004 that may not have been in compliance with the percentage of ownership restriction of certain investment companies and in particular HOLDRs. To the extent it is determined that these securities transactions were not in compliance appropriate amounts will be reimbursed. At this time the effect to the Fund is not expected to be material.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees and

Shareholders of INVESCO Dynamics Fund:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the INVESCO Dynamics Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Stock Funds, formerly known as INVESCO Stock Funds, Inc.; hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at July 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at July 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About share classes

 

  n Effective 9/30/03, 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 have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.

 

  n Investor Class shares are closed to most investors. For more information on who may continue to invest in the Investor Class shares, please see the prospectus.

 

Principal risks of investing in the fund

 

  n Investing in small and mid-size companies involves risks not associated with investing in more established companies, including business risk, significant stock price fluctuations and illiquidity.

 

  n At any given time, the fund may be subject to sector risk, which means a certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. The fund is not limited with respect to the sectors in which it can invest.

 

  n By concentrating on a small number of holdings, the fund carries greater risk because each investment has a greater effect on the fund’s overall performance.

 

  n International investing presents certain risks not associated with investing solely in the United States. These include risks relating to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies, the custody arrangements made for the fund’s foreign holdings, differences in accounting, political risks and the lesser degree of public information required to be provided by non-U.S. companies. The fund may invest 100% of its assets in the securities of non-U.S. issuers.

 

About indexes used in this report

 

  n The unmanaged Standard & Poor’s Composite Index of 500 Stocks (the S&P 500 —registered trademark— Index) is an index of common stocks frequently used as a general measure of U.S. stock market performance.

 

  n The unmanaged Russell Midcap —registered trademark— Growth Index is a subset of the Russell Midcap Index, which represents the performance of the stocks of domestic mid-capitalization companies; the Growth subset measures the performance of Russell Midcap companies with higher price/book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.

 

  n The unmanaged Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Fund Index represents an average of the performance of the 30 largest mid-capitalization growth funds tracked by Lipper, Inc., an independent mutual fund performance monitor.

 

  n The unmanaged Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which represents the U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bond market (including government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities), is compiled by Lehman Brothers, a global investment bank.

 

  n The fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.

 

  n 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

 

  n 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.

 

  n 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.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

 

     Dear Fellow Shareholder in The AIM Family of Funds —registered trademark—:
[GRAHAM
PHOTO]
   After a brisk run-up in 2003, markets seemed to pause in 2004 in what appeared to be a holding pattern. During the 12-month period covered by this report, market sentiment shifted from enthusiasm over an economic recovery to caution. Rising interest rates, inflation—especially in surging oil prices—the war on terrorism and the upcoming presidential election created uncertainty in the markets, resulting in relatively flat returns year to date in 2004 and a downturn in July.
Robert H. Graham   

This pattern was especially evident in the equity markets. The S&P 500 Index gained 13.16% over the 12 months ending July 31, 2004, but much of the upswing occurred in the latter part of 2003. Year-to-date as of July 31, 2004, the S&P 500 Index returned 0.02%. Performance declined in July, with the index returning -3.31% for the month.

    

The fiscal year proved especially challenging for the fixed-income market, especially near the end of the reporting period. Stronger-than-expected employment growth, an increase in inflation and the anticipation of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve caused a sell-off in the bond market during the second quarter of 2004. The Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.84% for the fiscal year covered by this report, but only 1.14% year-to-date as of July 31, 2004. Considered a good proxy for the U.S. bond market, this index includes fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, U.S. agency investments, U.S. Treasuries of various maturities and U.S. corporate bonds.

    

In a period of uncertainty like the one covered by this report, we encourage shareholders to look past short-term market performance and remain focused on their long-term investment goals. Whether markets rise, fall or go sideways, the only certainty is their unpredictability, especially in the short run. Historically, markets have risen over the long term, with the S&P 500 Index returning 13.34% over the past 25 years and the Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returning 9.24%.* While past performance cannot guarantee future results, we believe that staying invested for the long term offers the best opportunity for capital growth.

    

For information on how your fund performed and was managed during the fiscal year covered by this report, please read your fund managers’ discussion on the following pages. We hope you find it informative.

    

Shareholders were recently sent a prospectus supplement and question and answer document pertaining to settlement agreements among AIM and INVESCO with the Attorneys General of Colorado and New York and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to resolve market-timing investigations. We will continue to post updates on our Web site, AIMinvestments.com, as information becomes available.

    

As always, AIM is committed to building solutions for your investment goals, and we thank you for your continued participation in AIM Investments —servicemark—. If you have any questions, please contact our Client Service representatives at 800-959-4246.

 

Sincerely,

/s/ Robert H. Graham

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

Rebounding economy boosted fund performance

 

INVESCO Mid-Cap Growth Class A Shares returned 10.73% at net asset value for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. (Had the effects of sales charges been included, the return would have been lower.) Strong stock selection in the energy and industrials sectors helped the fund outperform its peer-group benchmark, the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Fund Index, which returned 10.05%. However, the fund’s stock selections in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors led to underperformance of the fund’s broad-market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, and its style-specific benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, which returned 13.16% and 14.79%, respectively. Results for other share classes are found in the table on page 3.

 

Market conditions

 

The economic expansion that began in 2003 took hold in the first half of 2004, triggering a rise in inflation and the expectation of higher interest rates. In the calendar year 2003, inflation averaged just 1% but rose to an annual rate of 2% during the first half of 2004 as energy prices soared and demand increased for commodities and industrial materials. In response to these trends, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) increased the federal funds target rate from 1.00% to 1.25% at its late June 2004 meeting.

 

Gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of economic activity, grew at an average annual rate of 5.8% in the second half of 2003, and at a more restrained 3.7% in the first half of 2004.

 

For the fiscal year covered by this report, small-cap stocks generally outperformed mid-cap stocks. Both outperformed the market as a whole. The best performing sectors of the S&P 500 Index included energy, industrials, utilities and materials, while the weakest-performing sectors were health care, consumer staples and consumer discretionary.

 

Your fund

 

During the period, we continued to look for companies that demonstrate the potential for above-average earnings and revenue growth. The fund is composed of high-quality growth stocks, and we continued to monitor opportunities to invest in growth-oriented sectors to capitalize on the economic upturn.

 

Healthy expansion of the U.S. economy during the period drove mid-cap stocks higher, and the fund participated in the stock market rally that ran from the beginning of the period through February 2004. In comparison to the Russell Midcap Growth Index, the fund’s industrials, energy and consumer staples holdings were the key outperformers during the period. In industrials, education stocks–Apollo Group and ITT Educational Services–both staged impressive runs driven by strong underlying growth in demand for their post-secondary degree programs. The fund no longer held ITT Educational Services at the close of the reporting period. We sold the stock and took profits because we believe the company was overvalued and had a low growth rate.

 

The strongest contributors to fund performance included temporary staffing firm Robert Half and diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corp. Robert Half benefited from a surge in the staffing industry in the wake of the economic recovery. Eaton Corp. on July 15 reported a 73% increase in net income in the second quarter of 2004 over the same period in 2003. Energy holding Murphy Oil rose more than 50% during the period. On July 27, Murphy Oil announced record earnings of $349.9 million for the second quarter of 2004.

 

Other strong contributors to fund performance included Fastenal, a retailer of fasteners and other industrial products, which experienced a strong ramp-up in earnings with the recovery in demand for capital equipment; Apache, an oil and gas exploration and production company, which announced second quarter 2004 earnings rose by 53%; and Whole Foods Market, a fast-growing natural foods retailer, which announced third-quarter sales increased by 22% over the

same period in 2003. The fund no longer held Apache at the close of the period. We sold the stocks and took profits after they reached our valuation targets.

 

The fund’s consumer discretionary stocks were the largest detractors from performance. The fund was overweight in media stocks, which badly lagged the market.

 

Among the media stocks that detracted from fund performance were broadcasters Cox Radio, EchoStar and Cox Communications. Cox Radio rallied substantially through the end of 2003 in anticipation of a strong 2004 recovery in advertising revenues. We sold Cox Communications and Cox Radio after both companies lowered earnings guidance due to a slower market and increased competition. EchoStar and Cox Communications, direct broadcast satellite and cable television providers, respectively, rallied last year but lagged in 2004 on weaker-than-expected subscriber sales. Investors remained wary of a price war between the two companies.

 

Another detractor from performance was Lincare Holdings, a respiratory therapy firm, which traded down with the passage of the comprehensive Medicare prescription drug and reform bill. The bill introduced uncertainty as to how the company’s home oxygen services would be reimbursed in the future.

 

Lincare is a leader in home oxygen therapy. Although the stock periodically gets hit with Medicare reimbursement worries, the growth in demand for its services has been strong and we believe the growth will continue, given America’s aging population. Additionally, the company has an impressive record of earnings growth that is well above average. We sold Lincare after the stock reached our valuation targets and redeployed profits in other attractive opportunities.

 

During the period we increased the fund’s industrials sector weighting in comparison with the Russell Midcap Growth Index in order to benefit from capital spending. We also modestly increased weighting in the health care sector, adding core positions in Shire Pharmaceuticals, Henry Schein and Biogen Idec to the portfolio. We sold Biogen after it reached our valuation target. We slightly reduced the fund’s weighting in technology following last year’s spectacular run as many tech stocks bottomed out in March 2003.

 

In closing

 

We are pleased with the fund’s return during the fiscal year. We continued to invest at least 80% of fund assets in mid-sized companies listed in the Russell Midcap Growth Index that meet the fund’s standards of having exceptional growth and strong leadership.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

 

Calculating your ongoing fund expenses

 

Example

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactions 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 fees (12b-1); 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, February 1, 2004 - July 31, 2004.

 

Actual expenses

 

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

 

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional 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 transactional 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 February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. The actual cumulative returns at net asset value for the period February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 were -5.44%, -5.78%, -5.75% and -5.37% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Investor Class shares, respectively.
2 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (1.66%, 2.31%, 2.31% and 1.56% for Class A, B, C and Investor class shares, respectively) multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE

 

Your fund’s long-term performance

 

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.

 

Your fund’s total return includes reinvested distributions, applicable sales charges, fund expenses and management fees. Results for Class B shares are calculated as if a hypothetical shareholder had liquidated his entire investment in the fund at the close of the reporting period and paid the applicable contingent deferred sales charges. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of an index of funds reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not. Performance shown in the chart does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or sale of fund shares. Performance of the indexes does not reflect the effects of taxes.

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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

 

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. 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 due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

 

Had the advisor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, performance would have been lower.

 

Since the last reporting period, the fund has elected to use the S&P 500 Index as its broad-based market index since the S&P 500 Index is such a widely recognized gauge of the U.S. stock market. The fund will no longer use the Russell Midcap Growth Index, the index published in previous reports to shareholders, as its broad market index. Because this is the first reporting period since we have adopted the new index, SEC guidelines require that we compare the fund’s performance to both the old and the new index. The fund maintains the use of the Russell Midcap Growth Index as its style-specific index as it more closely reflects the performance of the securities in which the fund invests. In addition, the unmanaged Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Fund Index, which may or may not include INVESCO Mid-Cap Growth Fund, is included for comparison to a peer group.

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 February 1, 2004 – July 31, 2004.

 

Actual expenses

 

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

 

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. The actual cumulative return at net asset value for the period February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 was -5.35% for Institutional Class shares.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2004

 

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

 

INVESCO Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Stock Funds, Inc. (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 four separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently offers 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. On November 25,2003, the fund was restructured from a separate series of AIM Stock Funds, Inc., formerly known as INVESCO Stock Funds, Inc. to a new series portfolio of the Trust.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers, trustees, employees and agents are 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. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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 as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices 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. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are 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 questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers in a manner specifically authorized 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. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). 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. Investments in open-end registered investment companies 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 closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

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. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund’s shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an 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, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds.

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.

 

F-7


 

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 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. 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 use a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
D. 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, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
E. Expenses — Until March 31, 2004, each class bore expenses incurred specifically on its behalf (including Rule 12b-1 plan fees) and, in addition, each class bore a portion of general expenses, based on relative net assets of each class. Effective April 1, 2004, 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 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.
F. Foreign Currency Translations — 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 prices 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.
G. 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. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably.

 

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 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004 the Fund paid advisory fees to AIM of $136,433. Prior to November 25, 2003, the Trust had an investment advisory agreement with INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”). For the period August 1, 2003 through November 24, 2003, the Fund paid advisory fees under similar terms to IFG of $57,643. Under the terms of a Sub-Advisory agreement between AIM and INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (“INVESCO”) whereby AIM paid INVESCO 40% of the fee paid by the Fund to AIM. Effective July 16, 2004, the sub-advisory agreement between AIM and INVESCO was terminated.

AIM has voluntarily 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 Class A, Class B, Class C, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares to 1.65%, 2.30%, 2.30%, 1.55% and 1.30%, respectively. 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 Class A, Class B, Class C, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares to 2.00%, 2.65%, 2.65%, 1.90% and 1.65%, respectively, through July 31, 2005. 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 Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed the caps stated above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expenses on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items (these are expenses that are not anticipated to arise from the Fund’s day-to-day operations), or items designated as such by the Fund’s Board of Trustees; (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 only 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. Further, 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 year ended July 31, 2004, AIM waived fees of $153.

For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AIM reimbursed class-specific expenses of the Fund of $24,201, $15,289, $14,840, $40,941 and $13,821 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares, respectively. Prior to November 25, 2003, IFG reimbursed class-specific expenses of the Fund of $9,461, $3,077, $4,746, $12,087 and $178 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares, respectively. For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AIM reimbursed fund level expenses of the Fund of $107,070.

For the year ended July 31, 2004, at the direction of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP PLC (“AMVESCAP”) has assumed $18,545 of expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with matters related to both pending regulatory complaints against INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”) alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM, including legal, audit, shareholder servicing, communication and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement, are included in the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. Prior to November 25, 2003, the trust had an administration service agreement with IFG under similar terms. For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, the Fund paid AIM $16,632 for such services. Prior to November 5, 2003, the Trust had an administrative services agreement with IFG. For the period August 1, 2003 through November 24, 2003, under similar terms, the Fund paid IFG $4,719 for such services.

The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. (“AISI”) a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. Prior to October 1, 2003, the Trust had a transfer agency and service agreement with IFG. For the period August 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003, IFG retained $12,921 for such services. For the period October 1, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AISI retained $74,799 for such services.

The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. (“AIM Distributors”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, 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 Class A, Class B, Class C, and Investor Class shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays AIM Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.35% 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 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Of these amounts, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class B, Class C 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. 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. Pursuant to the Plans, for the year ended July 31, 2004, the Class A, Class B, Class C and Investor Class shares paid $24,539, $28,848, $26780 and $13,429, respectively.

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. For the year ended July 31, 2004 AIM Distributors advised the Fund that it retained $3,941 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $7, $4 and $147 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI, INVESCO and/or AIM Distributors.

 

NOTE 3—Investments in Affiliates

 

The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and approved procedures 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 period ended July 31, 2004.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ Fees

 

Trustees’ fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an “interested person” of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested.

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 that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.

Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

During the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,692 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.

NOTE 5—Borrowings

 

Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the fund’s aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund’s total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the year ended July 31, 2004.

Effective December 9, 2003, the Fund became 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. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the year ended July 31, 2004.

The Fund had available a committed Redemption Line of Credit Facility (“LOC”), from a consortium of national banks, to be used for temporary or emergency purposes to meet redemption needs. The LOC permitted borrowings to a maximum of 10% of the net assets at value of the Fund. Each fund agreed to pay annual fees and interest on the unpaid principal balance based on prevailing market rates as defined in the agreement. The funds which were party to the LOC were charged a commitment fee of 0.10% on the unused balance of the committed line. The Fund did not borrow under LOC during the period until its expiration date on December 3, 2003.

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 in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated at an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points.

 

NOTE 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

 

Distributions to Shareholders:

 

There were no ordinary income or long-term gain distributions paid during the year ended July, 31 2004, the three months ended July 31, 2003 and the year ended April 30, 2003.

 

Tax Components of Net Assets:

 

As of July 31, 2004, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

 

     2004  

Unrealized appreciation — investments

   $ 1,258,770  

Temporary book/tax differences

     (1,682 )

Capital loss carryforward

     (16,984 )

Shares of beneficial interest

     18,882,450  

Total net assets

   $ 20,122,554  

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to the losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(2,843).

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses.

The Fund utilized $2,026,994 of capital loss carry forward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for Federal Income Tax purposes.

The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes as of July 31, 2004 which expires as follows:

 

Expiration    Capital Loss
Carryforward*

July 31, 2010

   $ 16,984
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE 7—Investment Securities

 

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2004 was $23,534,806 and $21,766,071, respectively.

 

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of
Investment Securities on a Tax Basis
 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities

   $ 1,716,549  

Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities

     (454,936 )

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities

   $ 1,261,613  

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $18,350,535.

 

NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences

 

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on July 31, 2004, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $264,725, undistributed net realized gain (loss) decreased by $395 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $264,330. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

 

NOTE 9—Share Information

 

The Fund currently offers five different classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with CDSC. Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares are subject to CDSC. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after the end of the calendar month of purchase.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings

 

The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to regulatory inquiries and litigation related to a wide range of issues. These issues include, among others, 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 and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans.

As described more fully below, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”), the former investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds, has reached an agreement in principle with certain regulators to resolve civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds. A I M Advisors, Inc. (“AIM”), the Fund’s investment advisor, also has reached an agreement in principle with certain regulators to resolve investigations related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds. AIM expects that its wholly owned subsidiary A I M Distributors, Inc. (“ADI”), the distributor of the Fund’s shares, also will be included as a party in the settlement with respect to AIM. In addition, IFG and AIM are the subject of a number of ongoing regulatory inquiries and civil lawsuits, as described more fully below. Additional regulatory actions and/or civil lawsuits related to the above or other issues may be filed against IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. Additional regulatory inquiries related to the above or other issues also may be received by IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.

As a result of the matters discussed below, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds.

 

Agreements in Principle and Settled Enforcement Actions Related to Market Timing

 

On December 2, 2003, each of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the State of New York, acting through the office of the state Attorney General (“NYAG”), filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his former capacity as the chief executive officer of IFG. At the time these proceedings were filed Mr. Cunningham held the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc. (“AIM Management”), the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. Mr. Cunningham is no longer affiliated with AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado, acting through the office of the state Attorney General (“COAG”), filed civil proceedings against IFG. Each of the SEC, NYAG and COAG complaints alleged, in substance, that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds’ prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds’ independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds were named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. AIM and certain of its current and former officers also have received regulatory inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds.

On September 7, 2004, AMVESCAP PLC (“AMVESCAP”), the parent company of IFG and AIM, announced that IFG had reached agreements in principle with the COAG, the NYAG and the staff of the SEC to resolve the civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds. Additionally, AMVESCAP announced that AIM had reached agreements in principle with the NYAG and the staff of the SEC to resolve investigations related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds. All of the agreements are subject to preparation and signing of final settlement documents. The SEC agreements also are subject to approval by the full Commission. Additionally, the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia is agreeable to the resolutions with other regulators. It has subsequently been agreed with the SEC that, in addition to AIM, ADI will be a named party in the settlement of the SEC’s investigation.

Under the terms of the agreements, IFG will pay a total of $325 million, of which $110 million is civil penalties. AIM and ADI will pay a total of $50 million, of which $30 million is civil penalties. It is expected that the final settlement documents will provide that the total settlement payments by IFG and AIM will be available to compensate shareholders of the AIM and INVESCO Funds harmed by market timing activity, as determined by an independent distribution consultant to be appointed under the settlements. The agreements will also commit AIM, ADI and IFG as well as the AIM and INVESCO Funds to a range of corporate governance reforms. Under the agreements with the NYAG and COAG, management fees on the AIM and INVESCO Funds will be reduced by $15 million per year for the next five years. IFG will also make other settlement-related payments required by the State of Colorado.

Despite the agreements in principle discussed above, there can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory final settlement with the regulators, or that any such final settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, including but not limited to A I M Capital Management, Inc., AIM Funds Management Inc., INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (“IINA”), INVESCO Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc. and INVESCO Senior Secured Management, Inc., from serving as an investment advisor to any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if AIM is so barred, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund’s investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted.

None of the costs of the settlements will be borne by the AIM and INVESCO Funds or by Fund shareholders.

At the direction of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds, AMVESCAP has agreed to pay all of the expenses incurred by the AIM and INVESCO Funds related to the market timing investigations, including expenses incurred in connection with the regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM.

The payments made in connection with the above-referenced settlements by IFG, AIM and ADI are expected to total $375 million. Additionally, management fees on the AIM and INVESCO Funds will be reduced by $15 million per year for the next five years. Whether and to what extent management fees will be reduced for any particular AIM or INVESCO Fund is unknown at the present time. Also, the manner in which the settlement payments will be distributed is unknown at the present time and will be determined by an independent distribution consultant to be appointed under the settlements. Therefore, management of AIM and the Fund are unable at the present time to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of the settlement amounts may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund’s financial statements 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 ongoing matters described below may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

On September 8, 2004, Mr. Cunningham’s law firm issued a press release announcing that Mr. Cunningham had agreed to resolve the civil actions against him by paying the SEC and the NYAG a $500,000 civil penalty, to accept a two-year ban from the securities industry and to accept a five-year ban from serving as an officer or director in the securities industry.

On August 31, 2004, the SEC announced settled enforcement actions against Timothy J. Miller, the former chief investment officer and a former portfolio manager for IFG, Thomas A. Kolbe, the former national sales manager of IFG, and Michael D. Legoski, a former assistant vice president in IFG’s sales department. The SEC alleged that Messrs. Miller, Kolbe and Legoski violated Federal securities laws by facilitating widespread market timing trading in certain INVESCO Funds in contravention of those Funds’ public disclosures. As part of the settlements, the SEC ordered Messrs. Miller, Kolbe and Legoski to pay $1 in restitution each and civil penalties in the amounts of $150,000, $150,000 and $40,000, respectively. In addition, the SEC prohibited each of them from associating with an investment advisor or investment company for a period of one year, and further prohibited Messrs. Miller and Kolbe from serving as an officer or director of an investment advisor or investment company for three years and two years, respectively. The SEC also prohibited Mr. Legoski from associating with a broker or dealer for a period of one year.

 

Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning IFG

 

IFG, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the INVESCO Funds have received regulatory inquiries 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, some of which concern one or more INVESCO 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, and investments in securities of other registered investment companies. These regulators include the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the NASD, Inc. (“NASD”), the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. IFG and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, some of which concern one or more INVESCO Funds. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries.

 

Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning AIM

 

AIM, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the AIM Funds have received regulatory inquiries 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, 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 and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans. These regulators include the SEC, the NASD, the Department of Banking for the State of Connecticut, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. AIM and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the DOL, the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Securities Division and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Market Timing

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, AIM Management, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and/or certain of their current and former officers) making allegations substantially similar to the allegations in the three regulatory actions concerning market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds that have been filed by the SEC, the NYAG and the State of Colorado against these parties. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iv) breach of contract. These lawsuits were initiated in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the “Panel”) has ruled that all actions pending in Federal court that allege market timing and/or late trading be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. All such cases against IFG and related defendants filed to date have been conditionally or finally transferred to the District of Maryland in accordance with the Panel’s directive. In addition, the proceedings initiated in state court have been removed by IFG to Federal court and transferred to the District of Maryland. The plaintiff in one such action continues to seek remand to state court.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Use of Fair Value Pricing

 

Multiple civil class action lawsuits have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG and/or AIM) alleging that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violations of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) common law breach of duty; and (iii) common law negligence and gross negligence. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; interest; and attorneys’ fees and costs.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Excessive Advisory and Distribution Fees

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, IINA, ADI and/or INVESCO Distributors, Inc.) alleging that the defendants charged excessive advisory and distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale. Certain of these lawsuits also allege that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iii) breach of contract. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements and distribution plans; interest; prospective relief in the form of reduced fees; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Distribution Fees Charged to Closed Funds

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by charging distribution fees while funds and/or specific share classes were closed generally to new investors and/or while other share classes of the same fund were not charged the same distribution fees. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; and (ii) breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Mutual Fund Sales Practices and Directed-Brokerage Arrangements

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, AIM Management, IFG, AIM, AIM Investment Services, Inc. (“AIS”) and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM and INVESCO Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM and INVESCO Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iii) aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in Federal courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements and distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid; an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of INVESCO Mid Cap Growth Fund:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the INVESCO Mid Cap Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Stock Funds, formerly known as INVESCO Stock Funds, Inc.; hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at July 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at July 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

INVESCO S&P 500 INDEX FUND seeks price performance and income comparable to the Standard & Poor’s Composite Stock Price Index.

 

  n Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of 7/31/04 and is based on total net assets.

 

About share classes

 

  n Investor Class shares are closed to most investors. For more information on who may continue to invest in the Investor Class shares, please see the prospectus.

 

Principal risks of investing in the fund

 

  n The fund is not actively managed; instead, the fund seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500—registered trademark— Index. Therefore, when the S&P 500 Index drops, the value of shares of the fund drops accordingly. The fund makes no effort to hedge against price movements in the S&P 500 Index. Because the fund will incur operating expenses and transaction costs, the fund’s performance will not track the performance of the S&P 500 Index exactly.

 

  n The fund can invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities that present risks not associated with investing solely in the United States.

 

  n At any given time, the fund may be subject to sector risk, which means a certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. The fund is not limited with respect to the sectors in which it can invest.

 

About indexes used in this report

 

  n 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.

 

  n The unmanaged Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which represents the U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bond market (including government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities), is compiled by Lehman Brothers, a global investment bank.

 

  n The unmanaged Lipper S&P 500 Fund Index represents an average of the performance of the 30 largest S&P 500 Index funds tracked by Lipper, Inc., an independent mutual fund performance monitor.

 

  n 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

 

  n 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.

 

  n 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.

 

  n Bloomberg, Inc. is a financial research and reporting firm.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

 

     Dear Fellow Shareholder in The AIM Family of Funds —registered trademark— :
[GRAHAM PHOTO]    After a brisk run-up in 2003, markets seemed to pause in 2004 in what appeared to be a holding pattern. During the 12-month period covered by this report, market sentiment shifted from enthusiasm over an economic recovery to caution. Rising interest rates, inflation—especially in surging oil prices—the war on terrorism and the upcoming presidential election created uncertainty in the markets, resulting in relatively flat returns year to date in 2004 and a downturn in July.
Robert H. Graham   

This pattern was especially evident in the equity markets. The S&P 500 Index gained 13.16% over the 12 months ending July 31, 2004, but much of the upswing occurred in the latter part of 2003. Year-to-date as of July 31, 2004, the S&P 500 Index returned 0.02%. Performance declined in July, with the index returning -3.31% for the month.

    

The fiscal year proved especially challenging for the fixed-income market, especially near the end of the reporting period. Stronger-than-expected employment growth, an increase in inflation and the anticipation of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve caused a sell-off in the bond market during the second quarter of 2004. The Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.84% for the fiscal year covered by this report, but only 1.14% year-to-date as of July 31, 2004. Considered a good proxy for the U.S. bond market, this index includes fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, U.S. agency investments, U.S. Treasuries of various maturities and U.S. corporate bonds.

    

In a period of uncertainty like the one covered by this report, we encourage shareholders to look past short-term market performance and remain focused on their long-term investment goals. Whether markets rise, fall or go sideways, the only certainty is their unpredictability, especially in the short run. Historically, markets have risen over the long term, with the S&P 500 Index returning 13.34% over the past 25 years and the Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returning 9.24%.* While past performance cannot guarantee future results, we believe that staying invested for the long term offers the best opportunity for capital growth.

    

For information on how your fund performed and was managed during the fiscal year covered by this report, please read your fund managers’ discussion on the following pages. We hope you find it informative.

    

Shareholders were recently sent a prospectus supplement and question and answer document pertaining to settlement agreements among AIM and INVESCO with the Attorneys General of Colorado and New York and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to resolve market-timing investigations. We will continue to post updates on our Web site, AIMinvestments.com, as information becomes available.

    

As always, AIM is committed to building solutions for your investment goals, and we thank you for your continued participation in AIM Investments servicemark. If you have any questions, please contact our Client Service representatives at 800-959-4246.

 

Sincerely,

/s/ Robert H. Graham

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

Fund recorded double-digit gains for fiscal year

 

For the year ended July 31, 2004, INVESCO S&P 500 Index Fund, Investor Class shares, returned 12.43% at net asset value. The fund lagged the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper S&P 500 Fund Index, which returned 13.16% and 12.78%, respectively, over the same period. The portfolio underperformed the S&P 500 Index because of fund expenses and transaction costs of purchasing securities.

 

Market conditions

 

The economic expansion that began in 2003 continued into the first half of 2004, triggering a rise in inflation and the expectation of higher interest rates. In the calendar year 2003, inflation averaged just 1% but rose to an annual rate of 2% during the first half of 2004 as energy prices soared and demand increased for commodities and industrial materials. In response to these trends, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) increased the federal funds target rate from 1.00% to 1.25% at its late June 2004 meeting.

 

Gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of economic activity, grew at an average annual rate of 5.9% in the second half of 2003, and at a more restrained 3.7% in the first half of 2004. Meanwhile, monthly job creation averaged 60,000 in the fourth quarter of 2003, but averaged about 200,000 during the first half of 2004.

 

The Fed reported that “the outlook for the U.S. economy is, on balance, positive,” according to its July 2004 Monetary Policy Report to Congress. Capital spending by business continued its brisk pace, the Fed reported. Retail sales slowed, manufacturing activity increased and residential construction was strong.

 

As of the close of the fiscal year, more than 87% of S&P 500 Index firms reporting second quarter earnings met or exceeded expectations, according to Bloomberg. On average, earnings of S&P 500 Index firms were more than 25% higher for the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same quarter last year.

 

For the fiscal year covered by this report, the best performing sectors of the S&P 500 Index included energy, industrials, utilities and materials, while the weakest-performing sectors were health care, information technology, consumer staples and consumer discretionary.

 

Your fund

 

The fund reflects the composition of the S&P 500 Index. It holds stocks in approximately the same proportion as the index, and its sector and industry weightings also are the same.

 

The fund is adjusted as necessary to reflect any changes in the index. Over the fiscal year, there were 13 membership changes to the index (See chart on following page.). During the reporting period, futures were used to equitize uninvested cash so it would perform more in line with the S&P 500 Index.

 

At the close of the reporting period, the fund’s three largest sector weightings were financials, information technology and health care—the same as at the outset of the fiscal year. During the year, only modest adjustments were made to the fund’s sector weightings.

 

Stocks that enhanced fund performance were Exxon Mobil, one of the world’s largest oil companies, and General Electric, a diversified corporation offering a wide variety of products ranging from home appliances to aircraft engines. Amid rising oil prices, Exxon Mobil reported record earnings for the second quarter of 2004. General Electric reported an 11% increase in revenue for the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same quarter for the previous year.

Detracting from fund performance were Amgen, a leading biotechnology company, and Viacom, a multimedia corporation. Although Amgen posted second-quarter earnings that generally beat analysts’ expectations, its stock declined amid concerns about its relatively limited product offerings. Viacom reported record earnings for the second quarter, but analysts noted that concerns about its business strategy negatively affected its stock price.

 

In closing

 

Throughout the reporting period, we remained committed to the fund’s investment objective of seeking price performance and income comparable to the S&P 500 Index by investing proportionally in the stocks that constitute the index.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

 

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, (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 February 1, 2004 - July 31, 2004.

 

Actual expenses

 

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

 

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contigent 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 transactional 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 February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. The actual cumulative return at net asset value for the period February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 was -2.14% for Investor Class shares.
2 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.65% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE

 

Your fund’s long-term performance

 

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.

 

Your fund’s total return includes reinvested distributions, fund expenses and management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends. Performance of an index of funds reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not. Performance shown in the chart does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or sale of fund shares. Performance of the indexes does not reflect the effects of taxes.

 

In evaluating this chart, please note that the chart uses a logarithmic scale along the vertical axis (the value scale). This means that each scale increment always represents the same percent change in price; in a linear chart each scale increment always represents the same absolute change in price. In this example, the scale increment between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same as that between $10,000 and $20,000. In a linear chart, the latter scale increment would be twice as large. The benefit of using a logarithmic scale is that it better illustrates performance during the fund’s early years before reinvested distributions and compounding create the potential for the original investment to grow to very large numbers. Had the chart used a linear scale along its vertical axis, you would not be able to see as clearly the movements in the value of the fund and the indexes during the fund’s early years. We use a logarithmic scale in financial reports of funds that have more than five years of performance history.

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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

 

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, performance would have been lower.

Institutional Class shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at net asset value. Performance of Institutional Class shares will differ from performance of other share classes 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 net asset value. 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.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

 

Calculating your ongoing fund expenses

 

Example

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactions costs, which may include redemption fees, if any; and (2) 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 February 1, 2004 - July 31, 2004.

 

Actual expenses

 

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

 

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as 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 transactional 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 February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. The actual cumulative return at net asset value for the period February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 was -1.93% for Institutional Class shares.
2 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.35% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2004

 

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

 

INVESCO 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 four separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently offers 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. On November 25, 2003, the Fund was restructured from a separate series of AIM Stock Funds, Inc., formerly known as INVESCO Stock Funds, Inc. to a new series portfolio of the Trust.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek price performance and income comparable to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500”). Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers, trustees, employees and agents are 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. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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 as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices 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. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are 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 questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers in a manner specifically authorized 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. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). 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. Investments in open-end registered investment companies 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 closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

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. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund’s shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an 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, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds.

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

 

F-13


 

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 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.   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 use a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
D.   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, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
E.   Expenses — Until March 31, 2004, each class bore expenses incurred specifically on its behalf (including Rule 12b-1 plan fees) and, in addition, each class bore a portion of general expenses, based on relative net assets of each class. Effective April 1, 2004, fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan and transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated between the classes based on relative net assets.
F. 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 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 an exemptive order from the SEC, 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”). 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 underlying security and loss of income.
G. Redemption Fees — The Fund has instituted a 2% redemption fee on certain share classes 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 accounted for as an addition to shares of beneficial interest by the Fund and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class.
H. Futures Contracts — The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as a hedge against changes in market conditions. 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 made or received 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 the 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.

 

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.

For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, the Fund paid advisory fees to AIM of $412,971. Prior to November 25, 2003, the Trust had an investment advisory agreement with INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”). For the period August 1, 2003 through November 24, 2003, the Fund paid advisory fees under similar terms to IFG of $166,972. Effective November 25, 2003, AIM entered into a sub-advisory agreement with INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (“INVESCO”) whereby AIM paid INVESCO 40% of the fee paid by the Fund to AIM.

AIM has voluntarily 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 0.65% and 0.35%, respectively. 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 Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed the caps stated above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items (these are expenses that are not anticipated to arise from the Fund’s day-to-day operations), or items designated as such by the Fund’s Board of Trustees; (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 only 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. 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 period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AIM waived fees of $56,448.

 

F-14


 

For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AIM reimbursed class-specific expenses of the Fund of $405,655 and $9,064 for Investor Class and Institutional Class shares, respectively. Prior to November 25, 2003, IFG reimbursed class-specific expenses of the Fund of $302,704 and $4,186 for Investor Class and Institutional Class, respectively. Prior to November 25, 2003, IFG reimbursed fund level expenses of the Fund of $1,070.

For the year ended July 31, 2004, at the direction of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP PLC (“AMVESCAP”) has assumed $30,714 of expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with matters related to both pending regulatory complaints against INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM, including legal, audit, shareholder servicing, communication and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement, are included in the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, the Fund paid AIM $76,655 for such services. Prior to November 25, 2003, the Trust had an administrative services agreement with IFG. For the period August 1, 2003 through November 24, 2003, under similar terms, the Fund paid IFG $33,224 for such services.

The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. (“AISI”) a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. Prior to October 1, 2003, the Trust had a transfer agency and service agreement with IFG. For the period August 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003, IFG advised the Fund that it retained $58,443 for such services. For the period October 1, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AISI advised the Fund that it retained $714,863 for such services.

The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. (“AIM Distributors”) 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 AIM Distributors compensation at the 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 Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. 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. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended July 31, 2004, the Investor Class shares paid $568,143.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI, INVESCO and/or AIM Distributors.

 

NOTE 3—Expense Offset Arrangement

 

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund received credits in custodian fees of $145 under an expense offset arrangement, which resulted in a reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $145.

 

NOTE 4—Trustees’ Fees

 

Trustees’ fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an “interested person” of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested.

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 that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.

Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

During the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,991 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.

 

NOTE 5—Borrowings

 

Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund’s aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund’s total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the year ended July 31, 2004.

Effective December 9, 2003, the Fund became 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. The Fund did not borrow under the facility during the year ended July 31, 2004.

The Fund had available a committed Redemption Line of Credit Facility (“LOC”), from a consortium of national banks, to be used for temporary or emergency purposes to meet redemption needs. The LOC permitted borrowings to a maximum of 10% of the net assets at value of the Fund. Each fund agreed to pay annual fees and interest on the unpaid principal balance based on prevailing market rates as defined in the agreement. The funds which were party to the LOC were charged a commitment fee of 0.10% on the unused balance of the committed line. The Fund did not borrow under the LOC during the period until its expiration date on December 3, 2003.

 

F-15


 

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 in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated at an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points.

 

NOTE 6—Futures Contracts

 

On July 31, 2004, $1,300,000 principal amount of U.S. Treasury obligations were pledged as collateral to cover margin requirements for open futures contracts.

NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

 

Distributions to Shareholders:

 

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended July 31, 2004 and 2003 was as follows:

 

     2004    2003

Distributions paid from ordinary income

   $ 2,132,722    $ 1,768,846

 

Tax Components of Net Assets:

 

As of July 31, 2004, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

 

     2004  

Undistributed ordinary income

   $ 194,675  

Unrealized appreciation — investments

     2,031,547  

Temporary book/tax differences

     (8,378 )

Capital loss carryforward

     (8,155,824 )

Shares of beneficial interest

     245,353,427  

Total net assets

   $ 239,415,447  

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses.

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 utilized $2,422,362 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes as of July 31, 2004 which expires as follows:

 

Expiration    Capital Loss
Carryforward*

July 31, 2010

   $ 3,073,399

July 31, 2011

     5,082,425

Total capital loss carryforward

   $ 8,155,824
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis

Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities

   $ 26,282,492  

Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities

     (24,250,945 )

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings

 

The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to regulatory inquiries and litigation related to a wide range of issues. These issues include, among others, 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 and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans.

As described more fully below, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”), the former investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds, has reached an agreement in principle with certain regulators to resolve civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds. A I M Advisors, Inc. (“AIM”), the Fund’s investment advisor, also has reached an agreement in principle with certain regulators to resolve investigations related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds. AIM expects that its wholly owned subsidiary A I M Distributors, Inc. (“ADI”), the distributor of the Fund’s shares, also will be included as a party in the settlement with respect to AIM. In addition, IFG and AIM are the subject of a number of ongoing regulatory inquiries and civil lawsuits, as described more fully below. Additional regulatory actions and/or civil lawsuits related to the above or other issues may be filed against IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. Additional regulatory inquiries related to the above or other issues also may be received by IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.

As a result of the matters discussed below, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds.

 

Agreements in Principle and Settled Enforcement Actions Related to Market Timing

 

On December 2, 2003, each of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the State of New York, acting through the office of the state Attorney General (“NYAG”), filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his former capacity as the chief executive officer of IFG. At the time these proceedings were filed Mr. Cunningham held the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc. (“AIM Management”), the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. Mr. Cunningham is no longer affiliated with AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado, acting through the office of the state Attorney General (“COAG”), filed civil proceedings against IFG. Each of the SEC, NYAG and COAG complaints alleged, in substance, that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds’ prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds’ independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds were named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. AIM and certain of its current and former officers also have received regulatory inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

On September 7, 2004, AMVESCAP PLC (“AMVESCAP”), the parent company of IFG and AIM, announced that IFG had reached agreements in principle with the COAG, the NYAG and the staff of the SEC to resolve the civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds. Additionally, AMVESCAP announced that AIM had reached agreements in principle with the NYAG and the staff of the SEC to resolve investigations related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds. All of the agreements are subject to preparation and signing of final settlement documents. The SEC agreements also are subject to approval by the full Commission. Additionally, the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia is agreeable to the resolutions with other regulators. It has subsequently been agreed with the SEC that, in addition to AIM, ADI will be a named party in the settlement of the SEC’s investigation.

Under the terms of the agreements, IFG will pay a total of $325 million, of which $110 million is civil penalties. AIM and ADI will pay a total of $50 million, of which $30 million is civil penalties. It is expected that the final settlement documents will provide that the total settlement payments by IFG and AIM will be available to compensate shareholders of the AIM and INVESCO Funds harmed by market timing activity, as determined by an independent distribution consultant to be appointed under the settlements. The agreements will also commit AIM, ADI and IFG as well as the AIM and INVESCO Funds to a range of corporate governance reforms. Under the agreements with the NYAG and COAG, management fees on the AIM and INVESCO Funds will be reduced by $15 million per year for the next five years. IFG will also make other settlement-related payments required by the State of Colorado.

Despite the agreements in principle discussed above, there can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory final settlement with the regulators, or that any such final settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, including but not limited to A I M Capital Management, Inc., AIM Funds Management Inc., INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (“IINA”), INVESCO Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc. and INVESCO Senior Secured Management, Inc., from serving as an investment advisor to any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if AIM is so barred, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund’s investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted.

None of the costs of the settlements will be borne by the AIM and INVESCO Funds or by Fund shareholders.

At the direction of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds, AMVESCAP has agreed to pay all of the expenses incurred by the AIM and INVESCO Funds related to the market timing investigations, including expenses incurred in connection with the regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM.

The payments made in connection with the above-referenced settlements by IFG, AIM and ADI are expected to total $375 million. Additionally, management fees on the AIM and INVESCO Funds will be reduced by $15 million per year for the next five years. Whether and to what extent management fees will be reduced for any particular AIM or INVESCO Fund is unknown at the present time. Also, the manner in which the settlement payments will be distributed is unknown at the present time and will be determined by an independent distribution consultant to be appointed under the settlements. Therefore, management of AIM and the Fund are unable at the present time to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of the settlement amounts may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund’s financial statements 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 ongoing matters described below may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

On September 8, 2004, Mr. Cunningham’s law firm issued a press release announcing that Mr. Cunningham had agreed to resolve the civil actions against him by paying the SEC and the NYAG a $500,000 civil penalty, to accept a two-year ban from the securities industry and to accept a five-year ban from serving as an officer or director in the securities industry.

On August 31, 2004, the SEC announced settled enforcement actions against Timothy J. Miller, the former chief investment officer and a former portfolio manager for IFG, Thomas A. Kolbe, the former national sales manager of IFG, and Michael D. Legoski, a former assistant vice president in IFG’s sales department. The SEC alleged that Messrs. Miller, Kolbe and Legoski violated Federal securities laws by facilitating widespread market timing trading in certain INVESCO Funds in contravention of those Funds’ public disclosures. As part of the settlements, the SEC ordered Messrs. Miller, Kolbe and Legoski to pay $1 in restitution each and civil penalties in the amounts of $150,000, $150,000 and $40,000, respectively. In addition, the SEC prohibited each of them from associating with an investment advisor or investment company for a period of one year, and further prohibited Messrs. Miller and Kolbe from serving as an officer or director of an investment advisor or investment company for three years and two years, respectively. The SEC also prohibited Mr. Legoski from associating with a broker or dealer for a period of one year.

 

Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning IFG

 

IFG, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the INVESCO Funds have received regulatory inquiries 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, some of which concern one or more INVESCO 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, and investments in securities of other registered investment companies. These regulators include the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the NASD, Inc. (“NASD”), the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. IFG and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, some of which concern one or more INVESCO Funds. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries.

NOTE 11—Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning AIM

 

AIM, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the AIM Funds have received regulatory inquiries 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, 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 and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans. These regulators include the SEC, the NASD, the Department of Banking for the State of Connecticut, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. AIM and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the DOL, the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Securities Division and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Market Timing

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, AIM Management, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and/or certain of their current and former officers) making allegations substantially similar to the allegations in the three regulatory actions concerning market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds that have been filed by the SEC, the NYAG and the State of Colorado against these parties. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iv) breach of contract. These lawsuits were initiated in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the “Panel”) has ruled that all actions pending in Federal court that allege market timing and/or late trading be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. All such cases against IFG and related defendants filed to date have been conditionally or finally transferred to the District of Maryland in accordance with the Panel’s directive. In addition, the proceedings initiated in state court have been removed by IFG to Federal court and transferred to the District of Maryland. The plaintiff in one such action continues to seek remand to state court.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Use of Fair Value Pricing

 

Multiple civil class action lawsuits have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG and/or AIM) alleging that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violations of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) common law breach of duty; and (iii) common law negligence and gross negligence. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; interest; and attorneys’ fees and costs.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Excessive Advisory and Distribution Fees

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, IINA, ADI and/or INVESCO Distributors, Inc.) alleging that the defendants charged excessive advisory and distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale. Certain of these lawsuits also allege that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iii) breach of contract. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements and distribution plans; interest; prospective relief in the form of reduced fees; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Distribution Fees Charged to Closed Funds

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by charging distribution fees while funds and/or specific share classes were closed generally to new investors and/or while other share classes of the same fund were not charged the same distribution fees. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; and (ii) breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Mutual Fund Sales Practices and Directed-Brokerage Arrangements

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, AIM Management, IFG, AIM, AIM Investment Services, Inc. (“AIS”) and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM and INVESCO Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM and INVESCO Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iii) aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in Federal courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements and distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid; an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of INVESCO S&P 500 Index Fund:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the INVESCO S&P 500 Index Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Stock Funds, formerly known as INVESCO Stock Funds, Inc.; hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at July 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at July 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

INVESCO SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND seeks long-term capital growth

 

  n Unless otherwise stated, information in this report is as of 7/31/04 and is based on total net assets.

 

About share classes

 

  n Effective 9/30/03, 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 have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.

 

  n Investor Class shares are closed to most investors. For more information on who may continue to invest in the Investor Class shares, please see the prospectus.

 

  n Class K shares are available only to certain retirement plans. Please see the prospectus for more information.

 

Principal risks of investing in the fund

 

  n Investing in micro and small companies involves risks not associated with investing in more established companies, such as business risk, significant stock price fluctuations and illiquidity.

 

  n International investing presents certain risks not associated with investing solely in the United States. These include risks relating to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies, the custody arrangements made for the fund’s foreign holdings, differences in accounting, political risks and the lesser degree of public information required to be provided by non-U.S. companies. The fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in the securities of non-U.S. issuers. Securities of Canadian issuers and American Depositary Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

 

  n At any given time, the fund may be subject to sector risk, which means a certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. The fund is not limited with respect to the sectors in which it can invest.

 

  n Portfolio turnover is greater than that of most funds, which may affect performance.

 

  n The fund may participate in the initial public offering (IPO) market in some market cycles. Because of the fund’s small asset base, any investment the fund may make in IPOs may significantly affect the fund’s total return. As the fund’s assets grow, the impact of IPO investments will decline, which may reduce the effect of IPO investments on the fund’s total return.

 

About indexes used in this report

 

  n The unmanaged Standard & Poor’s Composite Index of 500 Stocks (the S&P 500—registered trademark—Index) is an index of common stocks frequently used as a general measure of U.S. stock market performance.

 

  n The unmanaged Russell 2000® Growth Index is a subset of the unmanaged Russell 2000 Index, which represents the performance of the stocks of small-capitalization companies; the Growth subset measures the performance of Russell 2000 companies with higher price/book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.

 

  n The unmanaged Lipper Small-Cap Growth Fund Index represents an average of the performance of the 30 largest small-capitalization growth equity funds tracked by Lipper, Inc., an independent mutual fund performance monitor.

 

  n The unmanaged Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which represents the U.S. investment- grade fixed-rate bond market (including government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities), is compiled by Lehman Brothers, a global investment bank.

 

  n The fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.

 

  n A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges.

 

Other information

 

  n 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.

 

  n 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.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

 

     Dear Fellow Shareholder in The AIM Family of Funds—registered trademark— :

[GRAHAM

   After a brisk run-up in 2003, markets seemed to pause in 2004 in what appeared to be a holding pattern. During the 12-month period covered by this report, market sentiment shifted from enthusiasm over an economic recovery to caution. Rising interest rates, inflation—especially in surging oil prices—the war on terrorism and the upcoming presidential election created uncertainty in the markets, resulting in relatively flat returns year to date in 2004 and a downturn in July.
Robert H. Graham   

This pattern was especially evident in the equity markets. The S&P 500 Index gained 13.16% over the 12 months ending July 31, 2004, but much of the upswing occurred in the latter part of 2003. Year-to-date as of July 31, 2004, the S&P 500 Index returned 0.02%. Performance declined in July, with the index returning - 3.31% for the month.

    

The fiscal year proved especially challenging for the fixed-income market, especially near the end of the reporting period. Stronger-than-expected employment growth, an increase in inflation and the anticipation of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve caused a sell-off in the bond market during the second quarter of 2004. The Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.84% for the fiscal year covered by this report, but only 1.14% year-to-date as of July 31, 2004. Considered a good proxy for the U.S. bond market, this index includes fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, U.S. agency investments, U.S. Treasuries of various maturities and U.S. corporate bonds.

    

In a period of uncertainty like the one covered by this report, we encourage shareholders to look past short-term market performance and remain focused on their long-term investment goals. Whether markets rise, fall or go sideways, the only certainty is their unpredictability, especially in the short run. Historically, markets have risen over the long term, with the S&P 500 Index returning 13.34% over the past 25 years and the Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returning 9.24%.* While past performance cannot guarantee future results, we believe that staying invested for the long term offers the best opportunity for capital growth.

    

For information on how your fund performed and was managed during the fiscal year covered by this report, please read your fund managers’ discussion on the following pages. We hope you find it informative.

    

Shareholders were recently sent a prospectus supplement and question and answer document pertaining to settlement agreements among AIM and INVESCO with the Attorneys General of Colorado and New York and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to resolve market-timing investigations. We will continue to post updates on our Web site, AIMinvestments.com, as information becomes available.

    

As always, AIM is committed to building solutions for your investment goals, and we thank you for your continued participation in AIM Investments—servicemark—. If you have any questions, please contact our Client Service representatives at 800-959-4246.

 

Sincerely,

/s/ Robert H. Graham

MANAGEMENT‘S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

Fund focused on stocks of companies with solid earnings

 

For the year ended July 31, 2004, INVESCO Small Company Growth Fund, Investor Class shares, returned 5.00% at net asset value. Investor Class shares have no front-end or contingent deferred sales charges; therefore, performance is at net asset value. For the performance of other share classes, please see the table on the next page. The fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Fund Index, which returned 13.16%, 11.32% and 8.62%, respectively, over the same period.

 

We believe the fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index because that benchmark includes value stocks, which generally outperformed growth stocks over the year. The fund’s stock selections in the information technology sector underperformed those of the Russell 2000 Growth Index, causing the fund to lag that index. In our opinion, the fund’s focus on the stocks of higher-quality companies detracted from its performance relative to the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Fund Index, as the stocks of lower-quality companies led the market rally in 2003 and early 2004.

 

Market conditions

 

The economic expansion that began in 2003 continued into the first half of 2004, triggering a rise in inflation and the expectation of higher interest rates. In the calendar year 2003, inflation averaged just 1% but rose to an annual rate of 2% during the first half of 2004 as energy prices soared and demand increased for commodities and industrial materials. In response to these trends, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) increased the federal funds target rate from 1.00% to 1.25% at its late June 2004 meeting.

 

Gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of economic activity, grew at an average annual rate of 5.8% in the second half of 2003, and at a more restrained 3.7% in the first half of 2004. Meanwhile, monthly job creation averaged 60,000 in the fourth quarter of 2003, but averaged about 200,000 during the first half of 2004.

 

The Fed reported that “the outlook for the U.S. economy is, on balance, positive,” according to its July 2004 Monetary Policy Report to Congress. Capital spending by business continued its brisk pace, the Fed reported. Retail sales slowed, manufacturing activity increased and residential construction was strong.

 

As of the close of the fiscal year, more than 87% of S&P 500 Index firms reporting second quarter earnings met or exceeded expectations, according to Bloomberg. On average, earnings of S&P 500 Index firms were more than 25% higher for the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same quarter last year.

 

For the fiscal year covered by this report, small-cap stocks generally outperformed mid-and large-cap stocks. The best performing sectors of the S&P 500 Index included energy, industrials, utilities and materials, while the weakest-performing sectors were health care, information technology, consumer staples and consumer discretionary.

 

Your fund

 

Through an analysis of individual companies, we continued to look for the stocks of firms demonstrating the potential for above-average earnings and revenue growth. During the reporting period, we shifted our focus to the stocks of companies involved in the production of capital goods for other firms and away from consumer-oriented businesses. We believe that at this stage of the economic cycle, capital goods companies may post better earnings than consumer-oriented firms. We observed that manufacturers were beginning to expand their productive capacity and build up their inventories. On the other hand, we believe that rising oil prices and interest rates have adversely affected consumer spending.

As part of this shift in focus, we increased the fund’s exposure to the industrials and materials sectors while reducing its weighting in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. We noted that corporate earnings in the industrials sector improved and stocks in this sector appreciated in value. We reduced the fund’s exposure to information technology, as we believed these stocks could decline after their strong rally in 2003. We increased the portfolio’s weighting in health care because we found companies with attractive earnings prospects in this sector.

 

Sectors that had the most positive impact on fund performance were health care, industrials and consumer discretionary. Although the fund’s information technology and consumer staples holdings posted gains for the period, they detracted from performance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

 

Stocks that enhanced fund performance were Heidrick & Struggles, an executive search firm, and OSI Pharmaceuticals, a developer of cancer treatments. Heidrick & Struggles’ sales bottomed in the first quarter of 2003. However, since then, the company’s earnings and stock price have appreciated as the company noted an increase in executive searches. OSI Pharmaceuticals’ stock rose after the company announced that clinical trials of its new drug Tarceva showed that it improved the survival rates of patients with certain forms of lung cancer. We sold OSI and took profits.

 

Detracting from fund performance were Merix Corp., which makes devices to link electronic equipment components, and Staktek, an electronic parts manufacturing company. In May, Merix lowered its sales estimates for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, partially because of reduced orders from one of its major customers. Staktek announced a 17% decline in revenue for the second quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of this year. The fund no longer held either of these stocks at the end of the reporting period.

 

In closing

 

Throughout the reporting period, we remained committed to the fund’s investment objective of seeking capital growth, by normally investing 80% of its assets in small-capitalization companies.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

 

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 fees (12b-1); 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 February 1, 2004 - July 31, 2004.

 

Actual expenses

 

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

 

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional 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 transactional 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 February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. The actual cumulative returns at net asset value for the period February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 were -10.19%, -10.49%, -10.51%, -10.21% and -10.11% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Investor Class shares, respectively.
2 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (1.60%, 2.25%, 2.25%, 1.70% and 1.48% for Class A, B, C, K and Investor class shares, respectively) multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE

 

Your fund’s long-term performance

 

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.

 

Your fund’s total return includes reinvested distributions, fund expenses and management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends. Performance of an index of funds reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not. Performance shown in the chart does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or sale of fund shares. Performance of the indexes does not reflect the effects of taxes.

 

In evaluating this chart, please note that the chart uses a logarithmic scale along the vertical axis (the value scale). This means that each scale increment always represents the same percent change in price; in a linear chart each scale increment always represents the same absolute change in price. In this example, the scale increment between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same as that between $10,000 and $20,000. In a linear chart, the latter scale increment would be twice as large. The benefit of using a logarithmic scale is that it better illustrates performance during the fund’s early years before reinvested distributions and compounding create the potential for the original investment to grow to very large numbers. Had the chart used a linear scale along its vertical axis, you would not be able to see as clearly the movements in the value of the fund and the indexes during the fund’s early years. We use a logarithmic scale in financial reports of funds that have more than five years of performance history.

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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

 

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 K shares do not have a front-end sales charge; returns shown are at net asset value and do not reflect a 0.70% 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 due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

 

Had the advisor not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses on Class A, B, C and K shares, performance would have been lower.

 

Since the last reporting period, the fund has elected to use the S&P 500 Index as its broad based market index since the S&P 500 Index is such a widely recognized gauge of stocks. The fund will no longer use the Russell 2000/Russell 2000 Growth Index, the index published in previous reports to shareholders as its broad market index. Because this is the first reporting period since we have adopted the new index, SEC guidelines require that we compare the fund’s performance to both the old and the new index. The fund maintains the use of the Russell 2000 Growth Index as its style-specific index as it more closely reflects the performance of the securities in which the fund invests. In addition, the unmanaged Lipper Small-cap Fund Index, which may or may not include INVESCO Small Company Growth Fund, is included for comparison to a peer group.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2004

 

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

 

INVESCO Small Company Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Stock Funds (the “Trust”, formerly known as, INVESCO Stock Funds, Inc.). 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 four separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently offers 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. On November 25, 2003, the Fund was restructured from a separate series of AIM Stock Funds, Inc., formerly known as INVESCO Stock Funds, Inc. to a new series portfolio of the Trust.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers, trustees, employees and agents are 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. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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 as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices 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. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities

 

F-7


 

 

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 questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers in a manner specifically authorized 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. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). 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. Investments in open-end registered investment companies 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 closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

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. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund’s shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an 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, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds.

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 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. 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 use a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
D. 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, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
E. Expenses — Until March 31, 2004, each class bore expenses incurred specifically on its behalf (including Rule 12b-1 plan fees) and, in addition, each class bore a portion of general expenses, based on relative net assets of each class. Effective April 1, 2004, 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.
F. 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 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 an exemptive order from the SEC, 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”). 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 underlying security and loss of income.
G. Covered Call Options — The Fund may write call options, on a covered basis; that is, the Fund will own the underlying security. When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. The current market value of a written option is the mean between the last bid and asked prices on that day. 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. 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.

 

F-8


 

H. Put Options — The Fund may purchase put options. 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 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 increase in the value of the securities hedged. 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.

 

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 net assets as follows:

For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, the Fund paid advisory fees to AIM of $4,000,723. Prior to November 25, 2003, the Trust had an investment advisory agreement with INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”). For the period August 1, 2003 through November 24, 2003, the Fund paid advisory fees under similar terms to IFG of $2,172,093. Effective November 25, 2003, AIM entered into a sub-advisory agreement with INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (“INVESCO”) whereby AIM paid INVESCO 40% of the fee paid by the Fund to AIM.

AIM has voluntarily 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 Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Investor Class shares to 1.60%, 2.25%, 2.25%, 1.70% and 1.50%, respectively. 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 Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Investor Class shares to 2.00%, 2.65%, 2.65%, 2.10% and 1.90%, respectively, through July 31, 2005. 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 Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed the caps stated above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items (these are expenses that are not anticipated to arise from the Fund’s day-to-day operations), or items designated as such by the Fund’s Board of Trustees; (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 only 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. Further, 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 year ended July 31, 2004, AIM waived fees of $19,069.

For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AIM reimbursed class-specific expenses of the Fund of $0, $6,286, $11,892, $34,048 and $98,571 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Investor Class shares, respectively. Prior to November 25, 2003, IFG reimbursed class-specific expenses of the Fund of $0, $752, $21,625, $246,986 and $431,159 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, and Investor Class shares, respectively. For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AIM reimbursed fund level expenses of the Fund of $220,003. Prior to November 25, 2003, IFG did not reimburse fund level expenses of the Fund.

For the year ended July 31, 2004, at the direction of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP PLC (“AMVESCAP”) has assumed $78,860 of expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with matters related to both pending regulatory complaints against INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM, including legal, audit, shareholder servicing, communication and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement, are included in the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the period November 25, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AIM was paid $266,116 for such services. Prior to November 25, 2003, the Trust had an administrative services agreement with IFG. For the period August 1, 2003 through November 24, 2003, under similar terms, IFG was paid $153,658 for such services.

The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. (“AISI”) a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. Prior to October 1, 2003, the Trust had a transfer agency and service agreement with IFG. For the period August 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003, IFG retained $938,787 for such services. For the period October 1, 2003 through July 31, 2004, AISI retained $4,531,240 for such services.

The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. (“AIM Distributors”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Investor 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,

 

F-9


 

Class B, Class C, Class K and Investor Class shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K Plans, pays AIM Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.35% 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 0.45% of the average daily net assets of Class K shares. Of these amounts, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class B, Class C or Class K 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. 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. The Fund, pursuant to the Investor Class Plan, pays AIM Distributors 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 the Investor Class shares. Pursuant to the Plans, for the year ended July 31, 2004, the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Investor Class shares paid $21,313, $11,539, $27,833, $509,263 and $2,020,562, respectively. AIM has reimbursed $78,531 of Investor Class expenses related to an overpayment of prior period Rule 12b-1 fees paid to INVESCO Distributors Inc., prior distributor and an AIM affiliate.

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. For the year ended July 31, 2004 AIM Distributors advised the Fund that it retained $ 8,726 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0, $183, $312 and $495 from Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI, INVESCO and/or AIM Distributors.

 

NOTE 3—Investments in Affiliates

 

The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), 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 period ended July 31, 2004.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ Fees

 

Trustees’ fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an “interested person” of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested.

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 that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan.

Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

During the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,418 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.

 

NOTE 5—Borrowings

 

Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO 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 to small 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. During the year ended July 31, 2004, the average interfund borrowings for the number of days outstanding was $2,783,703 with a weighted average interest rate of 2.22% and interest expense of $337.

 

F-10


 

Effective December 9, 2003, the Fund became 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. The Fund did not borrow under the facility during the year ended July 31, 2004.

The Fund had available a committed Redemption Line of Credit Facility (“LOC”), from a consortium of national banks, to be used for temporary or emergency purposes to meet redemption needs. The LOC permitted borrowings to a maximum of 10% of the net assets at value of the Fund. Each fund agreed to pay annual fees and interest on the unpaid principal balance based on prevailing market rates as defined in the agreement. The funds which were party to the LOC were charged a commitment fee of 0.10% on the unused balance of the committed line. The Fund did not borrow under the LOC during the period until its expiration date on December 3, 2003.

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 in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated at an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points.

 

NOTE 6—Advances to Affiliates

 

Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the advisor established an interfund lending facility that the Fund may participate in for temporary borrowings by the other AIM Funds and INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made only if the loan rate is favorable to both parties. Advances were made to the following affiliated investment companies during the period:

NOTE 7—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 borrower 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 a loss on the collateral invested.

At July 31, 2004, securities with an aggregate value of $19,539,751 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $20,058,609 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral net of income rebate paid to counterparties of $176,335 for securities lending transactions.

NOTE 9—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

 

Distributions to Shareholders:

 

The fund paid no distributions during the years ended July 31, 2004 and July 31, 2003.

 

Tax Components of Net Assets:

 

As of July 31, 2004, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

 

     2004  

Unrealized appreciation–investments

   $ 18,666,123  

Temporary book/tax differences

     (74,383 )

Capital loss carryforward

     (521,975,115 )

Shares of beneficial interest

     1,106,013,361  

Total net assets

   $ 602,629,986  

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses.

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 utilized $200,752,420 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of July 31, 2004 which expires as follows:

 

Expiration    Capital Loss
Carryforward

July 31, 2010

   $ 215,067,972

July 31, 2011

     306,907,143

Total capital loss carryforward

   $ 521,975,115

Investment Securities on a Tax Basis
 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities

Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities

     (50,318,963 )

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities

   $ 18,666,123  

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $602,310,270.

 

NOTE 11—Reclassification of Permanent Differences

 

As a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, on July 31, 2004, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $11,517,261 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $11,517,261. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

 

F-12

NOTE 14—Legal Proceedings

 

The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to regulatory inquiries and litigation related to a wide range of issues. These issues include, among others, 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 and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans.

As described more fully below, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”), the former investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds, has reached an agreement in principle with certain regulators to resolve civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds. A I M Advisors, Inc. (“AIM”), the Fund’s investment advisor, also has reached an agreement in principle with certain regulators to resolve investigations related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds. AIM expects that its wholly owned subsidiary A I M Distributors, Inc. (“ADI”), the distributor of the Fund’s shares, also will be included as a party in the settlement with respect to AIM. In addition, IFG and AIM are the subject of a number of ongoing regulatory inquiries and civil lawsuits, as described more fully below. Additional regulatory actions and/or civil lawsuits related to the above or other issues may be filed against IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. Additional regulatory inquiries related to the above or other issues also may be received by IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future.

As a result of the matters discussed below, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds.

 

Agreements in Principle and Settled Enforcement Actions Related to Market Timing

 

On December 2, 2003, each of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the State of New York, acting through the office of the state Attorney General (“NYAG”), filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his former capacity as the chief executive officer of IFG. At the time these proceedings were filed Mr. Cunningham held the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc. (“AIM Management”), the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. Mr. Cunningham is no longer affiliated with AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado, acting through the office of the state Attorney General (“COAG”), filed civil proceedings against IFG. Each of the SEC, NYAG and COAG complaints alleged, in substance, that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds’ prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds’ independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds were named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. AIM and certain of its current and former officers also have received regulatory inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds.

On September 7, 2004, AMVESCAP PLC (“AMVESCAP”), the parent company of IFG and AIM, announced that IFG had reached agreements in principle with the COAG, the NYAG and the staff of the SEC to resolve the civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds. Additionally, AMVESCAP announced that AIM had reached agreements in principle with the NYAG and the staff of the SEC to resolve investigations related to market timing activity in the AIM Funds. All of the agreements are subject to preparation and signing of final settlement documents. The SEC agreements also are subject to approval by the full Commission. Additionally, the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia is agreeable to the resolutions with other regulators. It has subsequently been agreed with the SEC that, in addition to AIM, ADI will be a named party in the settlement of the SEC’s investigation.

Under the terms of the agreements, IFG will pay a total of $325 million, of which $110 million is civil penalties. AIM and ADI will pay a total of $50 million, of which $30 million is civil penalties. It is expected that the final settlement documents will provide that the total settlement payments by IFG and AIM will be available to compensate shareholders of the AIM and INVESCO Funds harmed by market timing activity, as determined by an independent distribution consultant to be appointed under the settlements. The agreements will also commit AIM, ADI and IFG as well as the AIM and INVESCO Funds to a range of corporate governance reforms. Under the agreements with the NYAG and COAG, management fees on the AIM and INVESCO Funds will be reduced by $15 million per year for the next five years. IFG will also make other settlement-related payments required by the State of Colorado.

Despite the agreements in principle discussed above, there can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory final settlement with the regulators, or that any such final settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, including but not limited to A I M Capital Management, Inc., AIM Funds Management Inc., INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (“IINA”), INVESCO Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc. and INVESCO Senior Secured Management, Inc., from serving as an investment advisor to any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if AIM is so barred, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund’s investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted.

None of the costs of the settlements will be borne by the AIM and INVESCO Funds or by Fund shareholders.

At the direction of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds, AMVESCAP has agreed to pay all of the expenses incurred by the AIM and INVESCO Funds related to the market timing investigations, including expenses incurred in connection with the regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM.

The payments made in connection with the above-referenced settlements by IFG, AIM and ADI are expected to total $375 million. Additionally, management fees on the AIM and INVESCO Funds will be reduced by $15 million per year for the next five years. Whether and to what extent management fees will be reduced for any particular AIM or INVESCO Fund is unknown at the present time. Also, the manner in which the settlement payments will be distributed is unknown at the present time and will be determined by an independent distribution consultant to be appointed under the settlements. Therefore, management of AIM and the Fund are unable at the present time to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of the settlement amounts may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund’s financial statements 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 ongoing matters described below may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund.

On September 8, 2004, Mr. Cunningham’s law firm issued a press release announcing that Mr. Cunningham had agreed to resolve the civil actions against him by paying the SEC and the NYAG a $500,000 civil penalty, to accept a two-year ban from the securities industry and to accept a five-year ban from serving as an officer or director in the securities industry.

NOTE 14—Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

On August 31, 2004, the SEC announced settled enforcement actions against Timothy J. Miller, the former chief investment officer and a former portfolio manager for IFG, Thomas A. Kolbe, the former national sales manager of IFG, and Michael D. Legoski, a former assistant vice president in IFG’s sales department. The SEC alleged that Messrs. Miller, Kolbe and Legoski violated Federal securities laws by facilitating widespread market timing trading in certain INVESCO Funds in contravention of those Funds’ public disclosures. As part of the settlements, the SEC ordered Messrs. Miller, Kolbe and Legoski to pay $1 in restitution each and civil penalties in the amounts of $150,000, $150,000 and $40,000, respectively. In addition, the SEC prohibited each of them from associating with an investment advisor or investment company for a period of one year, and further prohibited Messrs. Miller and Kolbe from serving as an officer or director of an investment advisor or investment company for three years and two years, respectively. The SEC also prohibited Mr. Legoski from associating with a broker or dealer for a period of one year.

 

Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning IFG

 

IFG, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the INVESCO Funds have received regulatory inquiries 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, some of which concern one or more INVESCO 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, and investments in securities of other registered investment companies. These regulators include the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the NASD, Inc. (“NASD”), the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. IFG and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, some of which concern one or more INVESCO Funds. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries.

 

Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning AIM

 

AIM, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the AIM Funds have received regulatory inquiries 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, 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 and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans. These regulators include the SEC, the NASD, the Department of Banking for the State of Connecticut, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. AIM and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the DOL, the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Securities Division and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Market Timing

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, AIM Management, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and/or certain of their current and former officers) making allegations substantially similar to the allegations in the three regulatory actions concerning market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds that have been filed by the SEC, the NYAG and the State of Colorado against these parties. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iv) breach of contract. These lawsuits were initiated in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the “Panel”) has ruled that all actions pending in Federal court that allege market timing and/or late trading be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. All such cases against IFG and related defendants filed to date have been conditionally or finally transferred to the District of Maryland in accordance with the Panel’s directive. In addition, the proceedings initiated in state court have been removed by IFG to Federal court and transferred to the District of Maryland. The plaintiff in one such action continues to seek remand to state court.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Use of Fair Value Pricing

 

Multiple civil class action lawsuits have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG and/or AIM) alleging that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violations of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) common law breach of duty; and (iii) common law negligence and gross negligence. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; interest; and attorneys’ fees and costs.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Excessive Advisory and Distribution Fees

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, IINA, ADI and/or INVESCO Distributors, Inc.) alleging that the defendants charged excessive advisory and distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale. Certain of these lawsuits also allege that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans.

 

F-18


 

NOTE 14—Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iii) breach of contract. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements and distribution plans; interest; prospective relief in the form of reduced fees; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Distribution Fees Charged to Closed Funds

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by charging distribution fees while funds and/or specific share classes were closed generally to new investors and/or while other share classes of the same fund were not charged the same distribution fees. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; and (ii) breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

 

Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Mutual Fund Sales Practices and Directed-Brokerage Arrangements

 

Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, AIM Management, IFG, AIM, AIM Investment Services, Inc. (“AIS”) and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM and INVESCO Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM and INVESCO Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iii) aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in Federal courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements and distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid; an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees

and Shareholders of INVESCO Small Company Growth Fund:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the INVESCO Small Company Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Stock Funds, formerly known as INVESCO Stock Funds, Inc.; hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at July 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at July 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(2) Prior to May 6, 2003, the Registrant’s Audit Committee was not required to pre-approve non-audit services. Therefore, the fees billed for non-audit services shown in this column only represents fees for pre-approved non-audit services rendered after May 6, 2003, to AIM and AIM Affiliates.

The Audit Committee also has considered whether the provision of such non-audit services that were rendered to AIM, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with AIM that provides ongoing services to the Registrant (“AIM Affiliates”), that were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to SEC regulations is compatible with maintaining PWC’s independence. The Audit Committee determined that the provision of such services is compatible with PWC maintaining independence with respect the Registrant.


PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

As adopted by the Audit Committees of

the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds (the “Funds”)

Amended September 14, 2004

 

I. Statement of Principles

 

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (“Rules”), the Audit Committees of the Funds’ (the “Audit Committee”) Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) are responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of independent accountants (an “Auditor”). As part of this responsibility and to assure that the Auditor’s independence is not impaired, the Audit Committee pre-approves the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by the Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Funds’ investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds (“Service Affiliates”) if the services directly impact the Funds’ operations or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations.

 

Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee (“general pre-approval”) or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”). As set forth in these policies and procedures, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

 

The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval through September 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

 

The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities.

 

II. Delegation

 

The Audit Committee may from time to time delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members who are Independent Directors. All decisions to pre-approve a service by a delegated member shall be reported to the Audit Committee at its next-scheduled meeting.

 

III. Audit Services

 

The annual audit services engagement terms and estimated fees will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committee will obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence.

 

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor


reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include services such as issuing consents for the inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.

 

IV. General Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services

 

The Audit Committee may provide general pre-approval of types of non-audit services described in this Section IV to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Committee believes that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SEC’s Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committee’s general principles and policies as set forth herein.

 

Audit-Related Services

 

“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; and agreed-upon procedures related to mergers.

 

Tax Services

 

“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committee will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy.

 

All Other Services

 

The Audit Committee may pre-approve non-audit services classified as “All other services” that are not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy.

 

V. Specific Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services

 

The Audit Committee may provide specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committee believes that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the auditor, is consistent with the SEC Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committees’ general principles and policies as set forth herein.

 

VI. Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Established Amounts

 

Pre-approval of estimated fee levels or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general pre-approval policies will be set annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will be reported to the Audit Committee at the quarterly Audit Committee meeting. The Audit Committee will always factor in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services.


VII. Procedures

 

On an annual basis, A I M Advisors, Inc. (“AIM”) will submit to the Audit Committee for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other information as the Audit Committee may request.

 

Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed at the next quarterly Audit Committee meeting of any such services billed by the Auditor and whether the amounts billed were within the estimated range of fees for the services rendered.

 

Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee shall be submitted to the Audit Committee jointly by the Fund’s Treasurer or his or her designee and the Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with the policies and procedures and the SEC Rules.

 

Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee for approval, including documentation that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied.

 

On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services.

 

The Audit Committee has designated the Funds’ Treasurer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies and procedures. The Funds’ Treasurer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis as to the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds’ Treasurer and management of AIM will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of these policies and procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or senior management of AIM.

 

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.

 

Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers is included as part of the reports to stockholders filed under Item 1 of this Form.

 

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 9. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANY AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS.

 

Not applicable.


ITEM 10. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

 

The Registrant adopted Shareholder Communication Procedures (the “Procedures”) on December 10, 2003, which Procedures were amended effective June 9, 2004. The Procedures set forth the process by which shareholders of the Registrant may send communications to the Board. As originally drafted, the Procedures covered recommendations of nominees sent by shareholders to the Board or to an individual trustee. However, the amended Procedures adopted effective June 9, 2004 do not cover such shareholder communications. Therefore, the adoption of amended Procedures could be viewed as a material change to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Registrant’s Board of Trustees.

 

ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

(a) As of September 21, 2004, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the officers of the Registrant, including the PEO and PFO, to assess the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Registrant’s officers, including the PEO and PFO, concluded that, as of September 21, 2004, the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably designed to ensure: (1) that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant on Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (2) that material information relating to the Registrant is made known to the PEO and PFO as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) There have been no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Act) that occurred during the Registrant’s most recent fiscal half-year (the Registrant’s second fiscal half-year in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
