The following pages contain important information that answers questions you may have about your investment. [TAYLOR PHOTO] Despite notable volatility at points throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, major stock market indexes in the U.S. and abroad generally performed well. Reasons for their favorable performance included positive economic growth, particularly overseas; strong corporate profits; and action by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) to reassure skittish markets, among other factors. Philip Taylor At its September 18, 2007, meeting, the Fed cut the federal funds target rate for the first time since June 2003.(1) The cut followed 17 rate increases from June 2004 to June 2006(1) and was intended to address investor concerns about a weak housing market generally and problems in the subprime mortgage market specifically. The Fed's action triggered an immediate and broad stock market rally. The Fed cut this key interest rate again on October 31, 2007.(1) At AIM Investments --REGISTERED TRADEMARK--, we know that market conditions change--often suddenly and sometimes dramatically. We can help you deal with market volatility by offering a broad range of mutual funds, including: o Domestic, global and international equity funds o Taxable and tax-exempt fixed-income funds o Allocation portfolios, with risk/return characteristics to match your needs o AIM Independence Funds--target-maturity funds that combine retail mutual funds and PowerShares --REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- exchange-traded funds--with risk/return characteristics that change as your target retirement date nears I encourage you to talk with your financial advisor if you have concerns about your portfolio. We believe in the value of working with a trusted financial advisor who can recommend AIM funds that are appropriate for your portfolio and that address your long-term investment goals and risk tolerance regardless of prevailing short-term market conditions. In conclusion My colleague, Bob Graham, recently announced his decision to step down as vice chair of the AIM Funds board of directors. In 1976, Bob was one of three men who co-founded AIM. In the three decades since, he has been instrumental in transforming AIM from a small investment management firm into one of America's most respected mutual fund companies--and, in 1997, into a global independent retail and institutional investment manager. In May, with shareholder approval, AIM Investments' parent company changed its name from AMVESCAP PLC to Invesco Ltd., uniting our worldwide operations and global expertise under one new name. While the name of our parent company may be new to you, I can assure you that our commitment to excellent customer service remains unchanged. Our highly trained, courteous client service representatives are eager to answer your questions, provide you with product information or assist you with account transactions. I encourage you to give us an opportunity to serve you by calling us at 800-959-4246. We at AIM are committed to helping you achieve your financial goals. We work every day to earn your trust, and we're grateful for the confidence you've placed in us.

2 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund Dear Fellow Shareholders: In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards. [CROCKETT PHOTO] Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO, AIM's parent company, and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM Investments --REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future. Bruce L. Crockett Our review of fund performance has shown healthy progress, but the process is necessarily one of continuous improvement. In general, as of October 31, 2007, we have seen persistent investment discipline and more consistently good results. While this statement may not apply to every AIM Fund all the time, as I write this letter, the overall trend in fund management and performance has been positive. The investment management talent at AIM has recently been enhanced by the promotion of Karen Dunn Kelley to Head of INVESCO's Worldwide Fixed Income as well as Director of AIM Global and Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under Karen's direction, AIM's cash management organization grew to one of the world's largest and most respected, with top-tier performance. The operations now combined under her charge represent more than $150 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals, and products that span the entire yield curve (as of October 31, 2007). In other news, your Board took a more active role in preparing for "proxy season," the period when fund managers must vote the shares held by their funds "for" or "against" various proposals on the ballots of the issuing companies. Beginning in the 2007 proxy season, AIM implemented new proxy voting policies, developed by management in conjunction with an ad hoc Board committee, which provided a solid framework for properly evaluating and executing the many decisions the AIM Funds are required to make to vote shares. In general, the AIM Funds voted for proposals that would allow shareholders a greater role in election of directors, proxy access and "say for pay." The AIM Funds voted against directors whom AIM believed failed to govern well in cases of corporate mismanagement, such as the backdating of options grants, and against "poison pill" and "take under" proposals that would favor the financial interests of managers at the expense of investors in the case of a merger or acquisition. You can view the proxy votes cast for your fund by going to AIMinvestments.com. Click the "About Us" tab, then go to "Required Notices" and "Proxy Voting Activity." Additionally, your Board raised the amount its members are recommended to invest in the AIM Funds within three years of joining the Board, with the goal of aligning our interests even more closely with yours. Furthermore, at our June meeting we renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and AIM for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the "Products and Performance" tab and go to "Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals." Your Board's ability to best represent your interests depends on our knowledge of your opinions and concerns. Please send me an email (bruce@brucecrockett.com) with your thoughts on the following: 1) How important is it to you to hear about your Board's decisions and activities in these letters? 2) What other information (on overall performance, specific funds, managers, etc.) would make the letters more meaningful to you? 3) Would you prefer that communications from your Board continue to be delivered in paper form by regular mail or be sent electronically by email? If you would prefer to communicate through a quick online survey, please go to AIMinvestments.com and provide your responses there. We need to hear from you to do our best job, and I look forward to your responses. Sincerely, /S/ BRUCE L. CROCKETT Bruce L.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. 14 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual 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 six separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently consists of multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. 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. 15 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. REDEMPTION FEES -- The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions, including exchanges of shares held less than 30 days. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. 16 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $500 million 0.95% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $500 million 0.90% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the following annual rates of the Fund's average daily net assets:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.935% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.91% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.885% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.86% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.835% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.81% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.785% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.76% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2008, to waive 100% 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). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended October 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $124,936. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2007, Invesco reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $646. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. AIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by AIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B and Class C 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 and Class C shares (collectively the "Plans"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays ADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each class of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry 17 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Front-end sales commissions and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") (collectively the "sales charges") are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2007, ADI advised the Fund that it retained $307,012 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $12,716, $122,223 and $40,906 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. INVESTMENTS IN OTHER AFFILIATES: The Investment Company Act of 1940 defines affiliates as those issuances in which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of that issuer. The following is a summary of the transactions with affiliates for the year ended October 31, 2007.

NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (i) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions, (ii) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian and (iii) a one time custodian fee credit used to offset custodian fees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $91,116. 18 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $7,083 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 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 any loss on the collateral invested. At October 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $50,348,714 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $51,548,164 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $47,390 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 8--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years October 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 1,443,028 $1,314,476 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 15,392,808 -- ======================================================================================= Total distributions $16,835,836 $1,314,476 _______________________________________________________________________________________ =======================================================================================
19 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of October 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 20,550,643 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 68,572,460 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 306,430,240 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (50,442) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 474,477,734 ============================================================================ Total net assets $869,980,635 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
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 net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the recognition of unrealized gains on passive foreign investment companies. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $190,817. 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 trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2007. NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2007 was $370,939,223 and $228,841,212, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $319,035,233 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (12,795,810) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $306,239,423 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $600,575,350.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions on October 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $53,999 and undistributed net realized gain was increased by $53,999. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. 20 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION The Fund currently offers three different classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waiver shares may be subject to a CDSC. Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.

(a) There are two entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 20% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. ADI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. (b) Net of redemption fees of $95,566 and $46,053 which were allocated among the classes based on relative net assets of each class for the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. NOTE 12--NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The provisions for FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has assessed the application of FIN 48 to the Fund and has determined that the adopting of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund. Management intends for the Fund to adopt FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 as required. 21 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund NOTE 13--FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The following schedule presents financial highlights for a share of the Fund outstanding throughout the periods indicated.

NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On July 6, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") published notice of two proposed distribution plans ("Distribution Plans") for the distribution of monies placed into two separate Fair Funds created pursuant to a settlement reached on October 8, 2004 between Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. and the SEC (the "Order"). One of the Fair Funds consists of $325 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of certain mutual funds formerly advised by IFG who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. The second Fair Fund consists of $50 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of mutual funds advised by AIM who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. Comments on the Distribution Plans were due no later than August 6, 2007 and the Distribution Plans are awaiting final approval by the SEC. Distributions from the Fair Funds will begin after the SEC finally approves the Distribution Plans. The proposed Distribution Plans provide for distribution to all eligible investors, for the periods spanning January 1, 2000 through July 31, 2003 (for the IFG Fair Fund) and January 1, 2001 through September 30, 2003 (for the AIM Fair Fund), their proportionate share of the applicable Fair Fund to compensate such investors for injury they may have suffered as a result of market timing in the affected funds. The Distribution Plans include a provision for any residual amounts in the Fair Funds to be distributed in the future to the affected funds. Because the Distribution Plans have not received final approval from the SEC and distribution of the Fair Funds has not yet commenced, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the amount of distribution to be made to the Fund, if any. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. 23 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 24 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds and Shareholders of AIM Asia Pacific 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 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at October 31, 2007, 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 five years in the period then ended, 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). Those standards 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 October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP December 19, 2007 Houston, Texas 25 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. 26 AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Sub-Committee's recommendations and A.

The following pages contain important informa- tion that answers questions you may have about your investment. [TAYLOR PHOTO] Despite notable volatility at points throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, major stock market indexes in the U.S. and abroad generally performed well. Reasons for their favorable performance included positive economic growth, particularly overseas; strong corporate profits; and action by the U.S. Philip Taylor Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) to reassure skittish markets, among other factors. At its September 18, 2007, meeting, the Fed cut the federal funds target rate for the first time since June 2003.(1) The cut followed 17 rate increases from June 2004 to June 20061 and was intended to address investor concerns about a weak housing market generally and problems in the subprime mortgage market specifically. The Fed's action trig- gered an immediate and broad stock market rally. The Fed cut this key interest rate again on October 31, 2007.(1) At AIM Investments --REGISTERED TRADEMARK--, we know that market conditions change--often suddenly and sometimes dramatically. We can help you deal with market volatility by offering a broad range of mutual funds, including: o Domestic, global and international equity funds o Taxable and tax-exempt fixed-income funds o Allocation portfolios, with risk/return characteristics to match your needs o AIM Independence Funds--target-maturity funds that combine retail mutual funds and PowerShares --REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- exchange-traded funds--with risk/return characteristics that change as your target retirement date nears I encourage you to talk with your financial advisor if you have concerns about your portfolio. We believe in the value of working with a trusted financial advisor who can recommend AIM funds that are appropriate for your portfolio and that address your long-term investment goals and risk tolerance regardless of prevailing short-term market conditions. IN CONCLUSION My colleague, Bob Graham, recently announced his decision to step down as vice chair of the AIM Funds board of directors. In 1976, Bob was one of three men who co-founded AIM. In the three decades since, he has been instru- mental in transforming AIM from a small investment management firm into one of America's most respected mutual fund companies--and, in 1997, into a global independent retail and institutional investment manager. In May, with shareholder approval, AIM Investments' parent company changed its name from AMVESCAP PLC to Invesco Ltd., uniting our worldwide operations and global expertise under one new name. While the name of our parent company may be new to you, I can assure you that our commitment to excellent customer service remains unchanged. Our highly trained, courteous client service representatives are eager to answer your ques- tions, provide you with product information or assist you with account transactions. I encourage you to give us an opportunity to serve you by calling us at 800-959-4246. We at AIM are committed to helping you achieve your financial goals. We work every day to earn your trust, and we're grateful for the confidence you've placed in us.

2 AIM European Growth Fund Dear Fellow Shareholders: In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards. [CROCKETT PHOTO] Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO, AIM's parent company, and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM Investments --REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman Bruce L. Crockett of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future. Our review of fund performance has shown healthy progress, but the process is necessarily one of continuous im- provement. In general, as of October 31, 2007, we have seen persistent investment discipline and more consistently good results. While this statement may not apply to every AIM Fund all the time, as I write this letter, the overall trend in fund management and performance has been positive. The investment management talent at AIM has recently been enhanced by the promotion of Karen Dunn Kelley to Head of INVESCO's Worldwide Fixed Income as well as Director of AIM Global and Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under Karen's direction, AIM's cash management organization grew to one of the world's largest and most respected, with top-tier performance. The operations now combined under her charge represent more than $150 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals, and products that span the entire yield curve (as of October 31, 2007). In other news, your Board took a more active role in preparing for "proxy season," the period when fund managers must vote the shares held by their funds "for" or "against" various proposals on the ballots of the issuing companies. Beginning in the 2007 proxy season, AIM implemented new proxy voting policies, developed by management in conjunction with an ad hoc Board committee, which provided a solid framework for properly evaluating and executing the many decisions the AIM Funds are required to make to vote shares. In general, the AIM Funds voted for proposals that would allow shareholders a greater role in election of directors, proxy access and "say for pay." The AIM Funds voted against directors whom AIM believed failed to govern well in cases of corporate mismanagement, such as the backdating of options grants, and against "poison pill" and "take under" proposals that would favor the financial interests of managers at the expense of investors in the case of a merger or acquisition. You can view the proxy votes cast for your fund by going to AIMinvestments.com. Click the "About Us" tab, then go to "Required Notices" and "Proxy Voting Activity." Additionally, your Board raised the amount its members are recommended to invest in the AIM Funds within three years of joining the Board, with the goal of aligning our interests even more closely with yours. Furthermore, at our June meeting we renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and AIM for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the "Products and Performance" tab and go to "Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals." Your Board's ability to best represent your interests depends on our knowledge of your opinions and concerns. Please send me an email (bruce@brucecrockett.com) with your thoughts on the following: 1) How important is it to you to hear about your Board's decisions and activities in these letters? 2) What other information (on overall performance, specific funds, managers, etc.) would make the letters more meaningful to you? 3) Would you prefer that communications from your Board continue to be delivered in paper form by regular mail or be sent electronically by email? If you would prefer to communicate through a quick online survey, please go to AIMinvestments.com and provide your responses there. We need to hear from you to do our best job, and I look forward to your responses. Sincerely, /S/ BRUCE L. CROCKETT Bruce L.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. 14 AIM European Growth Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM European Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual 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 six separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently consists of multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. 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. 15 AIM European Growth Fund The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. REDEMPTION FEES -- The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions, including exchanges of shares held less than 30 days. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. 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 16 AIM European Growth Fund relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $500 million 0.95% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $500 million 0.90% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the following annual rates of the Fund's average daily net assets:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.935% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.91% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.885% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.86% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.835% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.81% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.785% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.76% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2008, to waive 100% 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). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended October 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $371,438. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2007, Invesco reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $842. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. AIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by AIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R 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, Class B, Class C, Class R and Investor Class shares (collectively the "Plans"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays ADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Investor Class Plan, reimburses ADI for its allocated share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Investor Class Plan for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based 17 AIM European Growth Fund sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules also impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Front-end sales commissions and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") (collectively the "sales charges") are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2007, ADI advised the Fund that it retained $403,830 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $8,756, $114,089, $35,580 and $0 from Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $1,348,297. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (i) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions, (ii) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian and (iii) a one time custodian fee credit used to offset custodian fees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $104,021. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. 18 AIM European Growth Fund During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $11,389 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the 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 any loss on the collateral invested. At October 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $88,887,577 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $96,295,345 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $1,390,374 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 8,542,201 $ 4,948,897 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 80,888,545 60,636,790 ======================================================================================== Total distributions $89,430,746 $65,585,687 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================
19 AIM European Growth Fund TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of October 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 19,616,118 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 128,651,971 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 762,314,322 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (140,066) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryover (33,650,389) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 980,390,952 ============================================================================ Total net assets $1,857,182,908 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
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 net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(7,559). 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 trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. 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 October 31, 2007 to utilizing $15,589,322 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The Fund utilized $15,856,287 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 October 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 31, 2009 $33,650,389 ___________________________________________________________________________ ===========================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that unrealized gains as of November 24, 2003, the date of the reorganization of INVESCO European Growth Fund into the Fund, are realized on securities held on such date, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization. NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2007 was $447,463,942 and $306,606,647, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $775,647,285 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (13,325,404) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $762,321,881 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,185,127,996.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of capital loss carryforward and foreign currency transactions, on October 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $734,626, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $79,408 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $814,034. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. 20 AIM European Growth Fund NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Investor Class. Investor Class shares of the Fund are offered only to certain grandfathered investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waiver shares may be subject to a CDSC. Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R shares and Investor Class shares are sold at net asset value. Under certain circumstances, Class R shares are subject to a CDSC. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 21% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. ADI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. (b) Net of redemption fees of $92,948 and $54,231 which were allocated among the classes based on relative net assets of each class for the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. NOTE 13--NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The provisions for FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has assessed the application of FIN 48 to the Fund and has determined that the adopting of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund. Management intends for the Fund to adopt FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 as required. 21 AIM European Growth Fund NOTE 14--FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The following schedule presents financial highlights for a share of the Fund outstanding throughout the periods indicated.

NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On July 6, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") published notice of two proposed distribution plans ("Distribution Plans") for the distribution of monies placed into two separate Fair Funds created pursuant to a settlement reached on October 8, 2004 between Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. and the SEC (the "Order"). One of the Fair Funds consists of $325 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of certain mutual funds formerly advised by IFG who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. The second Fair Fund consists of $50 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of mutual funds advised by AIM who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. Comments on the Distribution Plans were due no later than August 6, 2007 and the Distribution Plans are awaiting final approval by the SEC. Distributions from the Fair Funds will begin after the SEC finally approves the Distribution Plans. The proposed Distribution Plans provide for distribution to all eligible investors, for the periods spanning January 1, 2000 through July 31, 2003 (for the IFG Fair Fund) and January 1, 2001 through September 30, 2003 (for the AIM Fair Fund), their proportionate share of the applicable Fair Fund to compensate such investors for injury they may have suffered as a result of market timing in the affected funds. The Distribution Plans include a provision for any residual amounts in the Fair Funds to be distributed in the future to the affected funds. Because the Distribution Plans have not received final approval from the SEC and distribution of the Fair Funds has not yet commenced, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the amount of distribution to be made to the Fund, if any. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to 25 AIM European Growth Fund NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 26 AIM European Growth Fund REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds and Shareholders of AIM European 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 AIM European Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at October 31, 2007, 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). Those standards 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 October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP December 19, 2007 Houston, Texas 27 AIM European Growth Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. 28 AIM EUROPEAN GROWTH FUND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT and expenses of their assigned funds.

The following pages contain important information that answers questions you may have about your investment. [TAYLOR PHOTO] Despite notable volatility at points throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, major stock market indexes in the U.S. and abroad generally performed well. Reasons for their favorable performance included positive economic growth, particularly overseas; strong corporate profits; and action by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) to reassure skittish markets, among other factors. Philip Taylor At its September 18, 2007, meeting, the Fed cut the federal funds target rate for the first time since June 2003.(1) The cut followed 17 rate increases from June 2004 to June 2006(1) and was intended to address investor concerns about a weak housing market generally and problems in the subprime mortgage market specifically. The Fed's action triggered an immediate and broad stock market rally. The Fed cut this key interest rate again on October 31, 2007.(1) At AIM Investments --REGISTERED TRADEMARK--, we know that market conditions change--often suddenly and sometimes dramatically. We can help you deal with market volatility by offering a broad range of mutual funds, including: o Domestic, global and international equity funds o Taxable and tax-exempt fixed-income funds o Allocation portfolios, with risk/return characteristics to match your needs o AIM Independence Funds--target-maturity funds that combine retail mutual funds and PowerShares --REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- exchange-traded funds--with risk/return characteristics that change as your target retirement date nears I encourage you to talk with your financial advisor if you have concerns about your portfolio. We believe in the value of working with a trusted financial advisor who can recommend AIM funds that are appropriate for your portfolio and that address your long-term investment goals and risk tolerance regardless of prevailing short-term market conditions. In conclusion My colleague, Bob Graham, recently announced his decision to step down as vice chair of the AIM Funds board of directors. In 1976, Bob was one of three men who co-founded AIM. In the three decades since, he has been instrumental in transforming AIM from a small investment management firm into one of America's most respected mutual fund companies--and, in 1997, into a global independent retail and institutional investment manager. In May, with shareholder approval, AIM Investments' parent company changed its name from AMVESCAP PLC to Invesco Ltd., uniting our worldwide operations and global expertise under one new name. While the name of our parent company may be new to you, I can assure you that our commitment to excellent customer service remains unchanged. Our highly trained, courteous client service representatives are eager to answer your questions, provide you with product information or assist you with account transactions. I encourage you to give us an opportunity to serve you by calling us at 800-959-4246. We at AIM are committed to helping you achieve your financial goals. We work every day to earn your trust, and we're grateful for the confidence you've placed in us.

2 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund Dear Fellow Shareholders: In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards. [CROCKETT PHOTO] Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO, AIM's parent company, and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM Investments --REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice Bruce L. Crockett chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future. Our review of fund performance has shown healthy progress, but the process is necessarily one of continuous improvement. In general, as of October 31, 2007, we have seen persistent investment discipline and more consistently good results. While this statement may not apply to every AIM Fund all the time, as I write this letter, the overall trend in fund management and performance has been positive. The investment management talent at AIM has recently been enhanced by the promotion of Karen Dunn Kelley to Head of INVESCO's Worldwide Fixed Income as well as Director of AIM Global and Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under Karen's direction, AIM's cash management organization grew to one of the world's largest and most respected, with top-tier performance. The operations now combined under her charge represent more than $150 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals, and products that span the entire yield curve (as of October 31, 2007). In other news, your Board took a more active role in preparing for "proxy season," the period when fund managers must vote the shares held by their funds "for" or "against" various proposals on the ballots of the issuing companies. Beginning in the 2007 proxy season, AIM implemented new proxy voting policies, developed by management in conjunction with an ad hoc Board committee, which provided a solid framework for properly evaluating and executing the many decisions the AIM Funds are required to make to vote shares. In general, the AIM Funds voted for proposals that would allow shareholders a greater role in election of directors, proxy access and "say for pay." The AIM Funds voted against directors whom AIM believed failed to govern well in cases of corporate mismanagement, such as the backdating of options grants, and against "poison pill" and "take under" proposals that would favor the financial interests of managers at the expense of investors in the case of a merger or acquisition. You can view the proxy votes cast for your fund by going to AIMinvestments.com. Click the "About Us" tab, then go to "Required Notices" and "Proxy Voting Activity." Additionally, your Board raised the amount its members are recommended to invest in the AIM Funds within three years of joining the Board, with the goal of aligning our interests even more closely with yours. Furthermore, at our June meeting we renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and AIM for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the "Products and Performance" tab and go to "Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals." Your Board's ability to best represent your interests depends on our knowledge of your opinions and concerns. Please send me an email (bruce@brucecrockett.com) with your thoughts on the following: 1) How important is it to you to hear about your Board's decisions and activities in these letters? 2) What other information (on overall performance, specific funds, managers, etc.) would make the letters more meaningful to you? 3) Would you prefer that communications from your Board continue to be delivered in paper form by regular mail or be sent electronically by email? If you would prefer to communicate through a quick online survey, please go to AIMinvestments.com and provide your responses there. We need to hear from you to do our best job, and I look forward to your responses. Sincerely, /S/ BRUCE L. CROCKETT Bruce L.

We focus on the PERFORMANCE SUMMARY strengths of individual companies rather than sectors, countries or market-cap trends.

The second half of the fiscal year was characterized by a more uneven to successful investing. We consider selling a climb by markets. Market volatility increased due to negative news in areas of stock for one of the following reasons: the U.S. economy, as well as problems emanating from the U.S. subprime mortgage market which spread out globally. o A company's fundamentals deteriorate or it posts disappointing earnings.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual 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 six separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently consists of multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is above-average long-term growth of capital. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. 15 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. 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. The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund 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. 16 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. REDEMPTION FEES -- The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions, including exchanges of shares held less than 30 days. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $1 billion 0.90% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $1 billion 0.85% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the following annual rates of the Fund's average daily net assets:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.80% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.78% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.76% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.74% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.72% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.68% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.66% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
17 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2008, to waive 100% 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). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended October 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $892,592. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2007, Invesco reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $1,096. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. AIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by AIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C 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 and Class C shares (collectively the "Plans"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays ADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each class of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Front-end sales commissions and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") (collectively the "sales charges") are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2007, ADI advised the Fund that it retained $136,234 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $266, $70,104 and $6,277 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $199,492, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(37,163), and securities purchases of $39,234. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (i) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions, (ii) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian and (iii) a one time custodian fee credit used to offset custodian fees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $147,543. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $9,437 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. 19 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the 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 any loss on the collateral invested. At October 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $37,517,731 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $40,069,982 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $134,582 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years October 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 18,919,147 $ 2,801,940 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 111,785,995 39,311,436 ========================================================================================= Total distributions $130,705,142 $42,113,376 _________________________________________________________________________________________ =========================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of October 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Undistributed ordinary income $ 13,066,256 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Undistributed long-term gain 138,810,850 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 495,059,833 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Temporary book/tax differences (166,611) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shares of beneficial interest 556,499,505 ============================================================================== Total net assets $1,203,269,833 ______________________________________________________________________________ ==============================================================================
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 net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the recognition of income for tax purposes on certain partnership investments. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $47,510. 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 trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2007. NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2007 was $437,459,066 and $528,071,481, respectively. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $507,004,816 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (11,992,493) ============================================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $495,012,323 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $734,291,190.
20 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of partnership investments, foreign capital gain taxes and foreign currency transactions, on October 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $234,301, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $291,561 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $57,260. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION The Fund currently offers four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waiver shares may be subject to a CDSC. Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 21% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. ADI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. (b) Commencement date of Institutional Class was on September 28, 2007. (c) Net of redemption fees of $25,122 and $11,417 which were allocated among the classes based on relative net assets of each class for the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. NOTE 13--NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The provisions for FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has assessed the application of FIN 48 to the Fund and has determined that the adopting of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund. Management intends for the Fund to adopt FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 as required. 21 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund NOTE 14--FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The following schedule presents financial highlights for a share of the Fund outstanding throughout the periods indicated.

SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On July 6, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") published notice of two proposed distribution plans ("Distribution Plans") for the distribution of monies placed into two separate Fair Funds created pursuant to a settlement reached on October 8, 2004 between Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. and the SEC (the "Order"). One of the Fair Funds consists of $325 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of certain mutual funds formerly advised by IFG who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. The second Fair Fund consists of $50 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of mutual funds advised by AIM who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. Comments on the Distribution Plans were due no later than August 6, 2007 and the Distribution Plans are awaiting final approval by the SEC. Distributions from the Fair Funds will begin after the SEC finally approves the Distribution Plans. The proposed Distribution Plans provide for distribution to all eligible investors, for the periods spanning January 1, 2000 through July 31, 2003 (for the IFG Fair Fund) and January 1, 2001 through September 30, 2003 (for the AIM Fair Fund), their proportionate share of the applicable Fair Fund to compensate such investors for injury they may have suffered as a result of market timing in the affected funds. The Distribution Plans include a provision for any residual amounts in the Fair Funds to be distributed in the future to the affected funds. Because the Distribution Plans have not received final approval from the SEC and distribution of the Fair Funds has not yet commenced, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the amount of distribution to be made to the Fund, if any. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 24 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds and Shareholders of AIM Global Aggressive 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 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at October 31, 2007, 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). Those standards 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 October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP December 19, 2007 Houston, Texas 25 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

AIMinvestments.com GLA-INS-1 A I M Distributors, Inc. [AIM INVESTMENTS LOGO] -- REGISTERED TRADEMARK -- AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund 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 actual ending account value and expenses in the below example are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 28, 2007 (commencement date) and held through October 31, 2007. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses in the below example are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period, September 28, 2007, through October 31, 2007. Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period, the ending account value and expense information may not provide a meaningful comparison to mutual funds that provide such information for a full six month 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 September 28, 2007 (commencement date), through October 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses over the six month period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. (2) Actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 34 (September 28, 2007, through October 31, 2007)/365. Because the share class has not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. (3) Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing the Institutional Class shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period.

The following pages contain important information that answers questions you may have about your investment. [TAYLOR PHOTO] Despite notable volatility at points throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, major stock market indexes in the U.S. and abroad generally performed well. Reasons for their favorable performance included positive economic growth, particularly overseas; strong corporate profits; and action by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) to reassure skittish markets, among other factors. Philip Taylor At its September 18, 2007, meeting, the Fed cut the federal funds target rate for the first time since June 2003.(1) The cut followed 17 rate increases from June 2004 to June 20061 and was intended to address investor concerns about a weak housing market generally and problems in the subprime mortgage market specifically. The Fed's action trig- gered an immediate and broad stock market rally. The Fed cut this key interest rate again on October 31, 2007.(1) At AIM Investments --REGISTERED TRADEMARK--, we know that market conditions change--often suddenly and sometimes dramatically. We can help you deal with market volatility by offering a broad range of mutual funds, including: o Domestic, global and international equity funds o Taxable and tax-exempt fixed-income funds o Allocation portfolios, with risk/return characteristics to match your needs o AIM Independence Funds--target-maturity funds that combine retail mutual funds and PowerShares --REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- exchange-traded funds--with risk/return characteristics that change as your target retirement date nears I encourage you to talk with your financial advisor if you have concerns about your portfolio. We believe in the value of working with a trusted financial advisor who can recommend AIM funds that are appropriate for your portfolio and that address your long-term investment goals and risk tolerance regardless of prevailing short-term market conditions. In conclusion My colleague, Bob Graham, recently announced his decision to step down as vice chair of the AIM Funds board of directors. In 1976, Bob was one of three men who co-founded AIM. In the three decades since, he has been instru- mental in transforming AIM from a small investment management firm into one of America's most respected mutual fund companies--and, in 1997, into a global independent retail and institutional investment manager. In May, with shareholder approval, AIM Investments' parent company changed its name from AMVESCAP PLC to Invesco Ltd., uniting our worldwide operations and global expertise under one new name. While the name of our parent company may be new to you, I can assure you that our commitment to excellent customer service remains unchanged. Our highly trained, courteous client service representatives are eager to answer your ques- tions, provide you with product information or assist you with account transactions. I encourage you to give us an opportunity to serve you by calling us at 800-959-4246. We at AIM are committed to helping you achieve your financial goals. We work every day to earn your trust, and we're grateful for the confidence you've placed in us.

2 AIM Global Growth Fund Dear Fellow Shareholders: In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards. [CROCKETT PHOTO] Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO, AIM's parent company, and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM Investments --REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future. Bruce L. Crockett Our review of fund performance has shown healthy progress, but the process is necessarily one of continuous improvement. In general, as of October 31, 2007, we have seen persistent investment discipline and more consistently good results. While this statement may not apply to every AIM Fund all the time, as I write this letter, the overall trend in fund management and performance has been positive. The investment management talent at AIM has recently been enhanced by the promotion of Karen Dunn Kelley to Head of INVESCO's Worldwide Fixed Income as well as Director of AIM Global and Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under Karen's direction, AIM's cash management organization grew to one of the world's largest and most respected, with top-tier performance. The operations now combined under her charge represent more than $150 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals, and products that span the entire yield curve (as of October 31, 2007). In other news, your Board took a more active role in preparing for "proxy season," the period when fund managers must vote the shares held by their funds "for" or "against" various proposals on the ballots of the issuing companies. Beginning in the 2007 proxy season, AIM implemented new proxy voting policies, developed by management in conjunction with an ad hoc Board committee, which provided a solid framework for properly evaluating and executing the many decisions the AIM Funds are required to make to vote shares. In general, the AIM Funds voted for proposals that would allow shareholders a greater role in election of directors, proxy access and "say for pay." The AIM Funds voted against directors whom AIM believed failed to govern well in cases of corporate mismanagement, such as the backdating of options grants, and against "poison pill" and "take under" proposals that would favor the financial interests of managers at the expense of investors in the case of a merger or acquisition. You can view the proxy votes cast for your fund by going to AIMinvestments.com. Click the "About Us" tab, then go to "Required Notices" and "Proxy Voting Activity." Additionally, your Board raised the amount its members are recommended to invest in the AIM Funds within three years of joining the Board, with the goal of aligning our interests even more closely with yours. Furthermore, at our June meeting we renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and AIM for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the "Products and Performance" tab and go to "Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals." Your Board's ability to best represent your interests depends on our knowledge of your opinions and concerns. Please send me an email (bruce@brucecrockett.com) with your thoughts on the following: 1) How important is it to you to hear about your Board's decisions and activities in these letters? 2) What other information (on overall performance, specific funds, managers, etc.) would make the letters more meaningful to you? 3) Would you prefer that communications from your Board continue to be delivered in paper form by regular mail or be sent electronically by email? If you would prefer to communicate through a quick online survey, please go to AIMinvestments.com and provide your responses there. We need to hear from you to do our best job, and I look forward to your responses. Sincerely, /S/ BRUCE L. CROCKETT Bruce L.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. 14 AIM Global Growth Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM Global Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual 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 six separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently consists of multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. 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. 15 AIM Global Growth Fund The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. REDEMPTION FEES -- The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions, including exchanges of shares held less than 30 days. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. 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 16 AIM Global Growth Fund relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $1 billion 0.85% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $1 billion 0.80% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the following annual rates of the Fund's average daily net assets:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.80% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.78% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.76% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.74% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.72% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.68% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.66% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2008, to waive 100% 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). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended October 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $186,587. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2007, Invesco reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $910. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. AIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by AIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C 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 and Class C shares (collectively the "Plans"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays ADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total sales charges, including 17 AIM Global Growth Fund asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Front-end sales commissions and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") (collectively the "sales charges") are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2007, ADI advised the Fund that it retained $68,704 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $43, $42,894 and $600 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $665,313, which resulted in net realized gains of $344,180, and securities purchases of $4,388,050. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (i) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions, (ii) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian and (iii) a one time custodian fee credit used to offset custodian fees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $70,281. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the 18 AIM Global Growth Fund Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $6,892 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the 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 any loss on the collateral invested. At October 31, 2007, there were no securities out on loan. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $346,219 for securities lending transactions during the period, which are net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $1,365,758 $1,936,684 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of October 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 720,661 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 161,543,063 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (93,190) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital Loss Carryover (213,732,327) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 514,320,777 =========================================================================== Total net assets $ 462,758,984 ___________________________________________________________________________ ===========================================================================
19 AIM Global Growth Fund 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 net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the recognition of income on certain passive foreign investment companies. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $29,793. 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 trustee deferral of compensation, retirement plan benefits, and passive foreign investment companies. 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 $64,200,869 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 October 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 31, 2009 $101,368,450 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 31, 2010 101,042,257 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 31, 2011 11,321,620 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $213,732,327 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* 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 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2007 was $162,664,644 and $217,381,681, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $168,107,327 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (6,594,057) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $161,513,270 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $300,167,102.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and passive foreign investment companies, on October 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $427,659, and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $427,659. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. 20 AIM Global Growth Fund NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION The Fund currently offers four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waiver shares may be subject to a CDSC. Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 20% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. ADI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. (b) Commencement date of Institutional Class shares was September 28, 2007. (c) Net of redemption fees of $8,957 and $7,793 which were allocated among the classes based on relative net assets of each class for the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. NOTE 13--NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The provisions for FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has assessed the application of FIN 48 to the Fund and has determined that the adopting of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund. Management intends for the Fund to adopt FIN 48 provisions during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 as required. 21 AIM Global Growth Fund NOTE 14--FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The following schedule presents financial highlights for a share of the Fund outstanding throughout the periods indicated.

SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On July 6, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") published notice of two proposed distribution plans ("Distribution Plans") for the distribution of monies placed into two separate Fair Funds created pursuant to a settlement reached on October 8, 2004 between Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. and the SEC (the "Order"). One of the Fair Funds consists of $325 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of certain mutual funds formerly advised by IFG who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. The second Fair Fund consists of $50 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of mutual funds advised by AIM who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. Comments on the Distribution Plans were due no later than August 6, 2007 and the Distribution Plans are awaiting final approval by the SEC. Distributions from the Fair Funds will begin after the SEC finally approves the Distribution Plans. The proposed Distribution Plans provide for distribution to all eligible investors, for the periods spanning January 1, 2000 through July 31, 2003 (for the IFG Fair Fund) and January 1, 2001 through September 30, 2003 (for the AIM Fair Fund), their proportionate share of the applicable Fair Fund to compensate such investors for injury they may have suffered as a result of market timing in the affected funds. The Distribution Plans include a provision for any residual amounts in the Fair Funds to be distributed in the future to the affected funds. Because the Distribution Plans have not received final approval from the SEC and distribution of the Fair Funds has not yet commenced, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the amount of distribution to be made to the Fund, if any. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 24 AIM Global Growth Fund REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds and Shareholders of AIM Global 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 AIM Global Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at October 31, 2007, 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). Those standards 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 October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP December 19, 2007 Houston, Texas 25 AIM Global Growth Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

[AIM INVESTMENTS LOGO] -- REGISTERED TRADEMARK -- AIM Global Growth Fund 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 actual ending account value and expenses in the below example are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 28, 2007 (commencement date) and held through October 31, 2007. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses in the below example are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period, September 28, 2007 (commencement date), through October 31, 2007. Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period, the ending account value and expense information may not provide a meaningful comparison to mutual funds that provide such information for a full six month 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 September 28, 2007 (commencement date), through October 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses over the six month period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. (2) Actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 34 (September 28, 2007 (commencement date), through October 31, 2007)/365. Because the share class has not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. (3) Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized Expense Ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing the Institutional Class shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period.

The following pages contain important information that answers questions you may have about your investment. [TAYLOR PHOTO] Despite notable volatility at points throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, major stock market indexes in the U.S. and abroad generally performed well. Reasons for their favorable performance included positive economic growth, particularly overseas; strong corporate profits; and action by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) to reassure skittish markets, among other factors. Philip Taylor At its September 18, 2007, meeting, the Fed cut the federal funds target rate for the first time since June 2003.(1) The cut followed 17 rate increases from June 2004 to June 2006(1) and was intended to address investor concerns about a weak housing market generally and problems in the subprime mortgage market specifically. The Fed's action triggered an immediate and broad stock market rally. The Fed cut this key interest rate again on October 31, 2007.(1) At AIM Investments --REGISTERED TRADEMARK--, we know that market conditions change--often suddenly and sometimes dramatically. We can help you deal with market volatility by offering a broad range of mutual funds, including: o Domestic, global and international equity funds o Taxable and tax-exempt fixed-income funds o Allocation portfolios, with risk/return characteristics to match your needs o AIM Independence Funds--target-maturity funds that combine retail mutual funds and PowerShares --REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- exchange-traded funds--with risk/return characteristics that change as your target retirement date nears I encourage you to talk with your financial advisor if you have concerns about your portfolio. We believe in the value of working with a trusted financial advisor who can recommend AIM funds that are appropriate for your portfolio and that address your long-term investment goals and risk tolerance regardless of prevailing short-term market conditions. In conclusion My colleague, Bob Graham, recently announced his decision to step down as vice chair of the AIM Funds board of directors. In 1976, Bob was one of three men who co-founded AIM. In the three decades since, he has been instrumental in transforming AIM from a small investment management firm into one of America's most respected mutual fund companies--and, in 1997, into a global independent retail and institutional investment manager. In May, with shareholder approval, AIM Investments' parent company changed its name from AMVESCAP PLC to Invesco Ltd., uniting our worldwide operations and global expertise under one new name. While the name of our parent company may be new to you, I can assure you that our commitment to excellent customer service remains unchanged. Our highly trained, courteous client service representatives are eager to answer your questions, provide you with product information or assist you with account transactions. I encourage you to give us an opportunity to serve you by calling us at 800-959-4246. We at AIM are committed to helping you achieve your financial goals. We work every day to earn your trust, and we're grateful for the confidence you've placed in us.

2 AIM International Core Equity Fund Dear Fellow Shareholders: In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards. [CROCKETT PHOTO] Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO, AIM's parent company, and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM Investments --REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future. Bruce L. Crockett Our review of fund performance has shown healthy progress, but the process is necessarily one of continuous improvement. In general, as of October 31, 2007, we have seen persistent investment discipline and more consistently good results. While this statement may not apply to every AIM Fund all the time, as I write this letter, the overall trend in fund management and performance has been positive. The investment management talent at AIM has recently been enhanced by the promotion of Karen Dunn Kelley to Head of INVESCO's Worldwide Fixed Income as well as Director of AIM Global and Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under Karen's direction, AIM's cash management organization grew to one of the world's largest and most respected, with top-tier performance. The operations now combined under her charge represent more than $150 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals, and products that span the entire yield curve (as of October 31, 2007). In other news, your Board took a more active role in preparing for "proxy season," the period when fund managers must vote the shares held by their funds "for" or "against" various proposals on the ballots of the issuing companies. Beginning in the 2007 proxy season, AIM implemented new proxy voting policies, developed by management in conjunction with an ad hoc Board committee, which provided a solid framework for properly evaluating and executing the many decisions the AIM Funds are required to make to vote shares. In general, the AIM Funds voted for proposals that would allow shareholders a greater role in election of directors, proxy access and "say for pay." The AIM Funds voted against directors whom AIM believed failed to govern well in cases of corporate mismanagement, such as the backdating of options grants, and against "poison pill" and "take under" proposals that would favor the financial interests of managers at the expense of investors in the case of a merger or acquisition. You can view the proxy votes cast for your fund by going to AIMinvestments.com. Click the "About Us" tab, then go to "Required Notices" and "Proxy Voting Activity." Additionally, your Board raised the amount its members are recommended to invest in the AIM Funds within three years of joining the Board, with the goal of aligning our interests even more closely with yours. Furthermore, at our June meeting we renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and AIM for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the "Products and Performance" tab and go to "Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals." Your Board's ability to best represent your interests depends on our knowledge of your opinions and concerns. Please send me an email (bruce@brucecrockett.com) with your thoughts on the following: 1) How important is it to you to hear about your Board's decisions and activities in these letters? 2) What other information (on overall performance, specific funds, managers, etc.) would make the letters more meaningful to you? 3) Would you prefer that communications from your Board continue to be delivered in paper form by regular mail or be sent electronically by email? If you would prefer to communicate through a quick online survey, please go to AIMinvestments.com and provide your responses there. We need to hear from you to do our best job, and I look forward to your responses. Sincerely, /S/ BRUCE L. CROCKETT Bruce L.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. 14 AIM International Core Equity Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM International Core Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual 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 six separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently consists of multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is total return. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. 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. 15 AIM International Core Equity Fund The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to the Institutional Class are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. REDEMPTION FEES -- The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions, including exchanges of shares held less than 30 days. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. 16 AIM International Core Equity Fund The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $500 million 0.75% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.65% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1 billion 0.55% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2 billion 0.45% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $4 billion 0.40% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $6 billion 0.375% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $8 billion 0.35% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between AIM and Invesco Asset Management Limited, AIM pays Invesco Asset Management Limited 40% of the amount of AIM's compensation on the sub-advised assets. Effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2008, to waive 100% 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). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended October 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $9,279. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2007, Invesco reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $605. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. AIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by AIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Investor Class shares (collectively the "Plans"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays ADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares, 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares and 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules also impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. 17 AIM International Core Equity Fund Front-end sales commissions and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") (collectively the "sales charges") are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2007, ADI advised the Fund that it retained $31,506 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $3, $14,919, $2,913 and $0 from Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS, IGAM and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in an 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 year ended October 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (i) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions, (ii) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian and (iii) a one time custodian fee credit used to offset custodian fees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $34,205. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $7,020 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. 18 AIM International Core Equity Fund NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 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 any loss on the collateral invested. At October 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $48,026,992 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $46,991,261 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $377,478 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 8--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 7,302,266 $ 2,273,053 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 12,949,467 9,326,249 ======================================================================================== Total distributions $20,251,733 $11,599,302 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of October 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 13,453,587 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 41,747,467 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation-investments 150,892,626 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (59,003) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 427,972,951 ============================================================================ Total net assets $634,007,628 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
19 AIM International Core Equity Fund 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 net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and corporate actions. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(7,939). 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 trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2007. NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2007 was $217,579,991 and $126,022,830, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $161,621,214 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (10,720,649) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $150,900,565 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $527,839,605.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and foreign capital gain tax reclassification on October 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $200,553 and undistributed net realized gain was increased by $200,553. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. 20 AIM International Core Equity Fund NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Investor Class and Institutional Class. Investor Class shares of the Fund are offered only to certain grandfathered investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waiver shares may be subject to a CDSC. Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R shares, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value. Under certain circumstances, Class R shares are subject to a CDSC. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.

(a) There is one entity that is a record owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and it owns 6% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. ADI has an agreement with this entity to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to this entity, which is considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by this entity are owned beneficially. In addition, 60% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are owned by affiliated mutual funds. Affiliated mutual funds are other mutual funds that are also advised by AIM. (b) Net of redemption fees of $10,733 and $12,975 which were allocated among the classes based on relative net assets of each class for the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 21 AIM International Core Equity Fund NOTE 12--NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The provisions for FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has assessed the application of FIN 48 to the Fund and has determined that the adopting of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund.

SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On July 6, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") published notice of two proposed distribution plans ("Distribution Plans") for the distribution of monies placed into two separate Fair Funds created pursuant to a settlement reached on October 8, 2004 between Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. and the SEC (the "Order"). One of the Fair Funds consists of $325 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of certain mutual funds formerly advised by IFG who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. The second Fair Fund consists of $50 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of mutual funds advised by AIM who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. Comments on the Distribution Plans were due no later than August 6, 2007 and the Distribution Plans are awaiting final approval by the SEC. Distributions from the Fair Funds will begin after the SEC finally approves the Distribution Plans. The proposed Distribution Plans provide for distribution to all eligible investors, for the periods spanning January 1, 2000 through July 31, 2003 (for the IFG Fair Fund) and January 1, 2001 through September 30, 2003 (for the AIM Fair Fund), their proportionate share of the applicable Fair Fund to compensate such investors for injury they may have suffered as a result of market timing in the affected funds. The Distribution Plans include a provision for any residual amounts in the Fair Funds to be distributed in the future to the affected funds. Because the Distribution Plans have not received final approval from the SEC and distribution of the Fair Funds has not yet commenced, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the amount of distribution to be made to the Fund, if any. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 26 AIM International Core Equity Fund REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds and Shareholders of AIM International Core Equity 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 AIM International Core Equity Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at October 31, 2007, 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). Those standards 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 October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP December 19, 2007 Houston, Texas 27 AIM International Core Equity Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. 28 Supplement to Annual Report dated 10/31/07 AIM International Core Equity Fund ========================================== Institutional Class Shares AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS PLEASE NOTE THAT PAST PERFORMANCE IS For periods ended 10/31/07 NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

AIMinvestments.com I-ICE-INS-1 A I M Distributors, Inc. [AIM INVESTMENTS LOGO] -- REGISTERED TRADEMARK -- AIM International Core Equity Fund 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 May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The 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 May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

The following pages contain important information that answers questions you may have about your investment. [TAYLOR PHOTO] Despite notable volatility at points throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, major stock market indexes in the U.S. and abroad generally performed well. Reasons for their favorable performance included positive economic growth, particularly overseas; strong corporate profits; and action by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) to reassure skittish markets, among other factors. Philip Taylor At its September 18, 2007, meeting, the Fed cut the federal funds target rate for the first time since June 2003.1 The cut followed 17 rate increases from June 2004 to June 20061 and was intended to address investor concerns about a weak housing market generally and problems in the subprime mortgage market specifically. The Fed's action triggered an immediate and broad stock market rally. The Fed cut this key interest rate again on October 31, 2007.(1) At AIM Investments -- registered trademark --, we know that market conditions change -- often suddenly and sometimes dramatically. We can help you deal with market volatility by offering a broad range of mutual funds, including: o Domestic, global and international equity funds o Taxable and tax-exempt fixed-income funds o Allocation portfolios, with risk/return characteristics to match your needs o AIM Independence Funds--target-maturity funds that combine retail mutual funds and PowerShares --registered trademark-- exchange-traded funds--with risk/return characteristics that change as your target retirement date nears I encourage you to talk with your financial advisor if you have concerns about your portfolio. We believe in the value of working with a trusted financial advisor who can recommend AIM funds that are appropriate for your portfolio and that address your long-term investment goals and risk tolerance regardless of prevailing short-term market conditions. In conclusion My colleague, Bob Graham, recently announced his decision to step down as vice chair of the AIM Funds board of directors. In 1976, Bob was one of three men who co-founded AIM. In the three decades since, he has been instrumental in transforming AIM from a small investment management firm into one of America's most respected mutual fund companies--and, in 1997, into a global independent retail and institutional investment manager. In May, with shareholder approval, AIM Investments' parent company changed its name from AMVESCAP PLC to Invesco Ltd., uniting our worldwide operations and global expertise under one new name. While the name of our parent company may be new to you, I can assure you that our commitment to excellent customer service remains unchanged. Our highly trained, courteous client service representatives are eager to answer your questions, provide you with product information or assist you with account transactions. I encourage you to give us an opportunity to serve you by calling us at 800-959-4246. We at AIM are committed to helping you achieve your financial goals. We work every day to earn your trust, and we're grateful for the confidence you've placed in us.

2 AIM International Growth Fund Dear Fellow Shareholders: In overseeing the management of the AIM family of funds on your behalf, your Board of Trustees of the AIM Funds continues to focus on improved investment performance, reduced shareholder costs, and high ethical standards. [CROCKETT PHOTO] Your Board welcomes two new members: Marty Flanagan, President and CEO of INVESCO, AIM's parent company, and Phil Taylor, who was named CEO of AIM Investments --registered trademark-- in April 2006. Robert Graham, who has given more than 30 years of leadership to the company and the mutual fund industry since founding AIM in 1976, has retired, stepping down in the process from his most recent role as vice chairman of the Board. We thank Bob for his many contributions and wish him a long and happy future. Bruce L. Crockett Our review of fund performance has shown healthy progress, but the process is necessarily one of continuous improvement. In general, as of October 31, 2007, we have seen persistent investment discipline and more consistently good results. While this statement may not apply to every AIM Fund all the time, as I write this letter, the overall trend in fund management and performance has been positive. The investment management talent at AIM has recently been enhanced by the promotion of Karen Dunn Kelley to Head of INVESCO's Worldwide Fixed Income as well as Director of AIM Global and Cash Management, with responsibility for all fixed income and money market funds that serve both institutional and individual investors. Under Karen's direction, AIM's cash management organization grew to one of the world's largest and most respected, with top-tier performance. The operations now combined under her charge represent more than $150 billion in assets, 120 investment professionals, and products that span the entire yield curve (as of October 31, 2007). In other news, your Board took a more active role in preparing for "proxy season," the period when fund managers must vote the shares held by their funds "for" or "against" various proposals on the ballots of the issuing companies. Beginning in the 2007 proxy season, AIM implemented new proxy voting policies, developed by management in conjunction with an ad hoc Board committee, which provided a solid framework for properly evaluating and executing the many decisions the AIM Funds are required to make to vote shares. In general, the AIM Funds voted for proposals that would allow shareholders a greater role in election of directors, proxy access and "say for pay." The AIM Funds voted against directors whom AIM believed failed to govern well in cases of corporate mismanagement, such as the backdating of options grants, and against "poison pill" and "take under" proposals that would favor the financial interests of managers at the expense of investors in the case of a merger or acquisition. You can view the proxy votes cast for your fund by going to AIMinvestments.com. Click the "About Us" tab, then go to "Required Notices" and "Proxy Voting Activity." Additionally, your Board raised the amount its members are recommended to invest in the AIM Funds within three years of joining the Board, with the goal of aligning our interests even more closely with yours. Furthermore, at our June meeting we renewed the investment advisory contracts between the AIM Funds and AIM for another year, applying the same rigorous evaluation process that was enhanced and formalized in 2005. For more information on this process, please visit AIMinvestments.com. Click on the "Products and Performance" tab and go to "Investment Advisory Agreement Renewals." Your Board's ability to best represent your interests depends on our knowledge of your opinions and concerns. Please send me an email (bruce@brucecrockett.com) with your thoughts on the following: 1) How important is it to you to hear about your Board's decisions and activities in these letters? 2) What other information (on overall performance, specific funds, managers, etc.) would make the letters more meaningful to you? 3) Would you prefer that communications from your Board continue to be delivered in paper form by regular mail or be sent electronically by email? If you would prefer to communicate through a quick online survey, please go to AIMinvestments.com and provide your responses there. We need to hear from you to do our best job, and I look forward to your responses. Sincerely, /s/ BRUCE L. CROCKETT Bruce L.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. 14 AIM International Growth Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM International Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual 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 six separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Fund currently consists of multiple classes of shares. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. 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. 15 AIM International Growth Fund The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to the Institutional Class are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. REDEMPTION FEES -- The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions, including exchanges of shares held less than 30 days. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. 16 AIM International Growth Fund The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $1 billion 0.95% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $1 billion 0.90% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the following annual rates of the Fund's average daily net assets:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.935% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.91% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.885% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.86% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.835% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.81% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.785% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.76% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2008, to waive 100% 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). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended October 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $1,099,718. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2007, Invesco reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $1,556. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services, to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. AIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by AIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R 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 and Class R shares (collectively the "Plans"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays ADI compensation at the annual 17 AIM International Growth Fund rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers, rules impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Front-end sales commissions and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") (collectively the "sales charges") are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2007, ADI advised the Fund that it retained $305,376 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $6,654, $132,833, $23,464 and $0 from Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $4,623,606. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (i) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions, (ii) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian and (iii) a one time custodian fee credit used to offset custodian fees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $303,076. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who 18 AIM International Growth Fund also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $17,723 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the 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 any loss on the collateral invested. At October 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $174,674,995 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $178,106,614 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $2,475,133 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $16,116,179 $13,944,188 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 8,861,298 -- ======================================================================================== Total distributions $24,977,477 $13,944,188 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================
19 AIM International Growth Fund TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of October 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 20,992,440 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 220,593,265 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 1,656,601,208 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (282,848) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryover (5,995,076) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 2,416,524,454 ============================================================================ Total net assets $4,308,433,443 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
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 net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the recognition of unrealized gains for tax on passive foreign investment companies. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $68,889. 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 trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. 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 October 31, 2007 to utilizing $2,997,538 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The Fund utilized $2,997,538 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 October 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 31, 2009 $5,995,076 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* 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 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2007 was $1,263,303,419 and $682,532,997, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $1,673,703,131 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (17,170,812) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $1,656,532,319 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $2,808,650,423.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions on October 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $747,374 and undistributed net realized gain was increased by $747,374. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. 20 AIM International Growth Fund NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION The Fund currently offers five different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Institutional Class. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waiver shares may be subject to a CDSC. Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R shares and Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value. Under certain circumstances, Class R shares are subject to a CDSC. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.

(a) There is one entity that is a record owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and it owns 28% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. ADI has an agreement with this entity to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to this entity, which is considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by this entity are owned beneficially. In addition, 7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are owned by affiliated mutual funds. Affiliated mutual funds are other mutual funds that are also advised by AIM. (b) Net of redemption fees of $221,782 and $48,974 which were allocated among the classes based on relative net assets of each class for the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. NOTE 13--NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The provisions for FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On July 6, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") published notice of two proposed distribution plans ("Distribution Plans") for the distribution of monies placed into two separate Fair Funds created pursuant to a settlement reached on October 8, 2004 between Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. and the SEC (the "Order"). One of the Fair Funds consists of $325 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of certain mutual funds formerly advised by IFG who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. The second Fair Fund consists of $50 million, plus interest and any contributions by other settling parties, for distribution to shareholders of mutual funds advised by AIM who may have been harmed by market timing and related activity. Comments on the Distribution Plans were due no later than August 6, 2007 and the Distribution Plans are awaiting final approval by the SEC. Distributions from the Fair Funds will begin after the SEC finally approves the Distribution Plans. The proposed Distribution Plans provide for distribution to all eligible investors, for the periods spanning January 1, 2000 through July 31, 2003 (for the IFG Fair Fund) and January 1, 2001 through September 30, 2003 (for the AIM Fair Fund), their proportionate share of the applicable Fair Fund to compensate such investors for injury they may have suffered as a result of market timing in the affected funds. The Distribution Plans include a provision for any residual amounts in the Fair Funds to be distributed in the future to the affected funds. Because the Distribution Plans have not received final approval from the SEC and distribution of the Fair Funds has not yet commenced, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the amount of distribution to be made to the Fund, if any. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco's 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 27 AIM International Growth Fund REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds and Shareholders of AIM International 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 AIM International Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at October 31, 2007, 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 five years in the period then ended, 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). Those standards 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 October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP December 19, 2007 Houston, Texas 28 AIM International Growth Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2007, through October 31, 2007. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Audit Committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to AIM and AIM Affiliates that were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to SEC regulations, if any, is compatible with maintaining PWC's independence. PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES As adopted by the Audit Committees of the AIM Funds (the "Funds") Last Amended September 18, 2006 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 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 Committees pre-approve the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by each 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 Committees ("general pre-approval") or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees ("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 Committees. Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will also consider the impact of additional fees on the Auditor's independence when determining whether to approve any additional fees for previously pre-approved services. The Audit Committees will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be provided by each 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 Committees consider a different period and state otherwise. The Audit Committees 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 Committees in fulfilling their responsibilities. DELEGATION The Audit Committees may from time to time delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members who are Independent Trustees. All decisions to pre-approve a service by a delegated member shall be reported to the Audit Committee at its next quarterly meeting. AUDIT SERVICES The annual audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees. 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 Committees may grant either general or specific pre-approval of 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. NON-AUDIT SERVICES The Audit Committees may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committees believe 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, compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities. 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. No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims. Under rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC, in connection with seeking Audit Committee pre-approval of permissible Tax services, the Auditor shall: 1. Describe in writing to the Audit Committees, which writing may be in the form of the proposed engagement letter: a. The scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the Fund, relating to the service; and b. Any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor and any person (other than the Fund) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service; 2. Discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor; and 3. Document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committees. ALL OTHER AUDITOR SERVICES The Audit Committees 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. PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS OR ESTABLISHED AMOUNTS Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit Committees. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit Committees at the quarterly Audit Committees meeting and will require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. 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 and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services. PROCEDURES On an annual basis, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") will submit to the Audit Committees 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 Committees 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 Committees. The Audit Committees will be informed at the next quarterly scheduled Audit Committees meeting of any such services for which the Auditor rendered an invoice and whether such services and fees had been pre-approved and if so, by what means. Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committees shall be submitted to the Audit Committees 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. Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees will describe in writing: (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the audit client, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement between the Auditor and any person (other than the audit client) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the Auditor's independence and will document the substance of the discussion. Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committees 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 Committees have 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.
