INDEXES Cumulative total returns, 12/31/08 to 6/30/09, excluding variable product issuer charges. If variable product issuer charges were included, returns would be lower. Series I Shares 9.40% Series II Shares 9.14 S&P 500 Index* (Broad Market Index) 3.19 Custom Basic Balanced Index+ (Style-Specific Index) -0.40 Lipper VUF Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index* (Peer Group Index) 6.41
*Lipper Inc.; +Invesco Aim, Lipper Inc. The S&P 500--REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- INDEX is a market capitalization-weighted index covering all major areas of the U.S. economy. It is not the 500 largest companies, but rather the most widely held 500 companies chosen with respect to market size, liquidity and their industry. The CUSTOM BASIC BALANCED INDEX is an index created by Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. to benchmark the Fund. The index consists of the following indexes: 60% Russell 1000--REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- Value Index and 40% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000 Value Index is a trademark/service mark of the Frank Russell Company. Russell--REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- is a trademark of the Frank Russell Company. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index covers U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bonds with components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-throughs and asset-backed securities. The LIPPER VUF MIXED-ASSET TARGET ALLOCATION MODERATE FUNDS INDEX is an equally weighted representation of the largest variable insurance underlying funds in the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds category. These funds, by portfolio practice, maintain a mix of between 40%-60% equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash and cash equivalents. The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes. A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital and current income. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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. 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. 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 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. Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance. 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. DOLLAR ROLL AND FORWARD COMMITMENT TRANSACTIONS -- The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage- backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA mortgage- backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker- dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a "fee" or a "drop". "Fee" income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the "drop" which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from/to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations. At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund's overall interest rate exposure. 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. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. L. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate and equity price movements and currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. M. SWAP AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts ("CDS") for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Interest rate, index, and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index. A CDS is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the "par value", of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer "par value" or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Fund's exposure to the counterparty. Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. N. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $150 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $150 million 0.50% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Through June 30, 2010, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $150 million 0.62% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $4.85 billion 0.50% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $5 billion 0.475% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.45% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.91% and Series II shares to 1.16% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $97,789. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $28,816 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity Securities $21,374,071 $ 1,430,698 $594,807 $23,399,576 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Treasury Securities -- 280,622 -- 280,622 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities -- 4,046,460 -- 4,046,460 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corporate Debt Securities -- 3,810,484 -- 3,810,484 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asset Backed Securities -- 1,900,414 -- 1,900,414 ====================================================================================================================== 33,437,556 ====================================================================================================================== Other Investments* (9,204) -- (9,204) ====================================================================================================================== Total Investments $21,364,867 $11,468,678 $594,807 $33,428,352 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================================================

BASIC BALANCED FUND NOTE 4--DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS Effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position and financial performance. The adoption of this provision has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements. VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AT PERIOD-END The Table below summarizes the value of the Fund's derivative instruments, detailed by primary risk exposure, held as of June 30, 2009:
VALUE ---------------------- RISK EXPOSURE/ DERIVATIVE TYPE ASSETS LIABILITIES ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credit Risk Credit Default Swaps(a) $ -- $(146,461) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest rate risk Futures contracts(b) 4,215 (13,419) ==================================================================================================== $4,215 $(159,880) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================================================
(a) Value is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Credit default swap agreements close-out. Contracts were closed upon the declaration of bankruptcy by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. on September 15, 2008. (b) Includes cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts. Only current day's variation margin receivable (payable) is reported within the Statement of Assets & Liabilities. EFFECT OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 The table below summarizes the gains (losses) on derivative instruments, detailed by primary risk exposure, recognized in earnings during the period:

AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND NOTE 5--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $151,114 and securities sales of $60,500, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(21,119). NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,459 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 $10,514,572 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 3,766,094 =============================================================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $14,280,666 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $8,080,555 and $8,537,463, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 1,698,116 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (8,438,494) ================================================================================================ Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities $(6,740,378) ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ================================================================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $40,177,934.

(a) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (b) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (c) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $26,344 and $2,615 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (Invesco Aim) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 16-17, 2009, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or "independent" Trustees voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2009. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund's investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable. THE BOARD'S FUND EVALUATION PROCESS The Board's Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees that are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This Sub-Committee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds. In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper), under the direction and supervision of the Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee's recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. The Investments Committee also considers each Sub-Committee's recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year. The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts with independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees were also assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund's investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds' proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms' length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, at the direction of the Board, prepared an independent written evaluation. During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Board considered all of the information provided to them, including information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from another Trustee and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Aim, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees' deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer's independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund's investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 17, 2009, and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund's performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers. FACTORS AND CONCLUSIONS AND SUMMARY OF INDEPENDENT WRITTEN FEE EVALUATION A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Aim The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Aim under the Fund's investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Aim in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Aim who provide these services. The Board's review of the qualifications of Invesco Aim to provide these services included the Board's consideration of Invesco Aim's portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Aim and its affiliates, and Invesco Aim's equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Aim are appropriate and that Invesco Aim currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund's investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND continued ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund's portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund's investment advisory agreement. In determining whether to continue the Fund's investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Aim and the Fund, as well as the Board's knowledge of Invesco Aim's operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Aim and its affiliates continue to take to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the AIM Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Aim and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas support the Board's approval of the continuance of the Fund's investment advisory agreement. B. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Affiliated Sub-Advisers The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are geographically dispersed in financial centers around the world, can provide research and other information and make recommendations on the markets and economies of various countries and securities of companies located in such countries or on various types of investments and investment techniques. The Board noted that Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (Invesco Institutional) manages a portion of the Fund's assets. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Aim to utilize the additional resources and talent of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. C. Fund Performance The Board considered fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement, as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Institutional currently manages a portion of the Fund's assets. The Board compared the Fund's performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Aim or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds - Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index. The Board noted that the Fund's performance was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the Fund's performance was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board also noted that Invesco Aim made manager and process changes in 2008 and early 2009, and Invesco Aim believes it is too early to assess the impact of such changes on the Fund's performance. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund's Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions. The Board noted that, in response to the Board's focus on fund performance, Invesco Aim has taken a number of actions intended to improve the investment process for the funds. D. Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers The Board compared the Fund's contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund's Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Aim or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Fund's contractual advisory fee rate was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that some comparative data was at least one year old and did not reflect the market downturn that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Board also compared the Fund's effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other domestic clients of Invesco Aim and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Aim. The Board noted that the Fund's rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund advised by Invesco Aim. The Board noted that Invesco Aim has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund through December 31, 2009 and that this fee waiver includes breakpoints based on net asset levels. Invesco Aim advised the Board that the fee waiver does not result in an effective rate below the uniform fee schedule for the Fund at its current asset level, the fee waiver will expire on December 31, 2009 and the uniform fee schedule will apply from January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. The Board also noted that Invesco Aim has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2010, in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board considered the effect this fee waiver would have on the Fund's total estimated expenses. The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services provided by Invesco Aim pursuant to the Fund's advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Aim to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates. After taking account of the Fund's contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above, the expense limitations and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund's advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable. AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND continued E. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund's contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint, but that due to the Fund's asset level at the end of the past calendar year, the Fund is not currently benefiting from the breakpoint. The Board also noted that Invesco Aim's contractual advisory fee waiver discussed above includes breakpoints based on net asset levels and that the uniform fee schedule will contain seven breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fees would reflect economies of scale at higher asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates. F. Profitability and Financial Resources The Board reviewed information from Invesco Aim concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Aim and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Aim and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of Invesco Aim and its affiliates. The Board reviewed with Invesco Aim the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of Invesco Ltd., the ultimate parent of Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and of Invesco Aim, as well as the profitability of Invesco Aim in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Aim continues to operate at a net profit, although the reduction of assets under management as a result of market movements and the increase in voluntary fee waivers for affiliated money market funds have reduced the profitability of Invesco Aim and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund's fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Aim and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Aim is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund's investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Aim has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the sub-advisory contracts, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. G. Collateral Benefits to Invesco Aim and its Affiliates The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Aim and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Aim's relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Aim and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Aim and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Aim and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Aim and its affiliates are providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund. The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through "soft dollar" arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Aim's and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers' expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Aim's and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers' soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Aim, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board considered the fact that the Fund's uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Aim pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Aim will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Aim has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2010, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Aim receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund's investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund's investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

+ Lipper Inc. The S&P 500--REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- INDEX is a market capitalization-weighted index covering all major areas of the U.S. economy. It is not the 500 largest companies, but rather the most widely held 500 companies chosen with respect to market size, liquidity and their industry. The RUSSELL 1000--REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- VALUE INDEX measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000 Value Index is a trademark/ service mark of the Frank Russell Company. Russell--REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- is a trademark of the Frank Russell Company. The LIPPER VUF LARGE-CAP VALUE FUNDS INDEX is an equally weighted representation of the largest variable insurance underlying funds in the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds category. These funds typically have a below-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes. A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. SECURITIES LENDING -- 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 by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. 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. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could 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. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. 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 AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND 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. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.695% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.67% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.645% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.62% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.57% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.545% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.52% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $6,387. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $36,970 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $332,761 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity Securities $305,915,866 $19,642,460 $-- $325,558,326 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================================================
NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $956,181, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(2,099). NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,770 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 7--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 $40,544,208 _________________________________________________________________________________ =================================================================================
* 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 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $30,770,497 and $35,668,738, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 29,328,964 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (103,072,581) ================================================================================= Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities $ (73,743,617) _________________________________________________________________________________ ================================================================================= Cost of investments for tax purposes is $399,301,943.

(a) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (b) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (c) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $154,620 and $126,045, for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (Invesco Aim) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 16-17, 2009, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or "independent" Trustees voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2009. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund's investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable. THE BOARD'S FUND EVALUATION PROCESS The Board's Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees that are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This Sub-Committee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds. In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper), under the direction and supervision of the Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee's recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. The Investments Committee also considers each Sub-Committee's recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year. The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts with independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees were also assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund's investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds' proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms' length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, at the direction of the Board, prepared an independent written evaluation. During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Board considered all of the information provided to them, including information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from another Trustee and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Aim, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees' deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer's independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund's investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 17, 2009, and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund's performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers. FACTORS AND CONCLUSIONS AND SUMMARY OF INDEPENDENT WRITTEN FEE EVALUATION A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Aim The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Aim under the Fund's investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Aim in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Aim who provide these services. The Board's review of the qualifications of Invesco Aim to provide these services included the Board's consideration of Invesco Aim's portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Aim and its affiliates, and Invesco Aim's equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Aim are appropriate and that Invesco Aim currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund's investment advisory AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND continued agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund's portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund's investment advisory agreement. In determining whether to continue the Fund's investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Aim and the Fund, as well as the Board's knowledge of Invesco Aim's operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Aim and its affiliates continue to take to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the AIM Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Aim and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas support the Board's approval of the continuance of the Fund's investment advisory agreement. B. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Affiliated Sub-Advisers The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are geographically dispersed in financial centers around the world, can provide research and other information and make recommendations on the markets and economies of various countries and securities of companies located in such countries or on various types of investments and investment techniques. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Aim to utilize the additional resources and talent of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. C. Fund Performance The Board considered fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund. The Board compared the Fund's performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Aim or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds Large-Cap Value Index. The Board noted that the Fund's performance was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the Fund's performance was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board also noted that Invesco Aim acknowledges the Fund's underperform-ance, and has confirmed that the portfolio managers have consistently followed their intrinsic value mandate. Invesco Aim continues to monitor the Fund and to provide the Board with periodic reporting on business issues that affect the Fund's performance. The Board also considered a report of the Senior Officer describing (i) the Board's oversight of performance issues for the intrinsic value funds, including the Fund, and Invesco Aim's response, including numerous meetings with portfolio managers, members of management and members of the Global Performance Measurement & Risk Group; (ii) actions consistent with the exercise by the Trustees of their fiduciary duties; and (iii) conclusions and recommendations for consideration by the Board. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund's Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions. The Board noted that, in response to the Board's focus on fund performance, Invesco Aim has taken a number of actions intended to improve the investment process for the funds. D. Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers The Board compared the Fund's contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund's Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Aim or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Fund's contractual advisory fee rate was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that some comparative data was at least one year old and that other data did not reflect the market downturn that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Board also compared the Fund's effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other domestic clients of Invesco Aim and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including two mutual funds advised by Invesco Aim. The Board noted that the Fund's rate was above the effective fee rates for the two mutual funds. Additionally, the Board compared the Fund's effective fee rate to the effective fee rates paid by numerous separately managed accounts/wrap accounts advised by an Invesco Aim affiliate. The Board noted that the Fund's rate was above the rates for all but three of the separately managed accounts/wrap accounts. The Board considered that management of the separately managed accounts/wrap accounts by the Invesco Aim affiliate involves different levels of services and different operational and regulatory requirements than Invesco Aim's management of the Fund. The Board concluded that these differences are appropriately reflected in the fee structure for the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Aim has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2010 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND continued the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact. The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services provided by Invesco Aim pursuant to the Fund's advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Aim to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates. After taking account of the Fund's contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund's advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable. E. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund's contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints and that the level of the Fund's advisory fees, as a percentage of the Fund's net assets, has decreased as net assets increased because of the breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fees appropriately reflect economies of scale at current asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates. F. Profitability and Financial Resources The Board reviewed information from Invesco Aim concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Aim and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Aim and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of Invesco Aim and its affiliates. The Board reviewed with Invesco Aim the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of Invesco Ltd., the ultimate parent of Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and of Invesco Aim, as well as the profitability of Invesco Aim in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Aim continues to operate at a net profit, although the reduction of assets under management as a result of market movements and the increase in voluntary fee waivers for affiliated money market funds have reduced the profitability of Invesco Aim and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund's fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Aim and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Aim is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund's investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Aim has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the sub-advisory contracts, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. G. Collateral Benefits to Invesco Aim and its Affiliates The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Aim and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Aim's relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Aim and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Aim and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Aim and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Aim and its affiliates are providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund. The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through "soft dollar" arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Aim's and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers' expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Aim's and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers' soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Aim, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board considered the fact that the Fund's uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Aim pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Aim will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Aim has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2010, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Aim receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund's investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund's investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is growth of capital. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.65% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.60% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Through December 31, 2009, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.695% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $750 million 0.625% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.62% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.57% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.545% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.52% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $21,335. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $75,571 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $702,278 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity Securities $620,822,219 $20,908,211 $-- $641,730,430 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================================================
NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $678,906 and securities sales of $240,023, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(129,552). NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $482. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,264 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTE 8--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. 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 to utilizing $185,737,883 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:

Growth Fund into the Fund and November 6, 2006, the date of the reorganization of AIM V.I. Demographic Trends Fund into the Fund are realized on securities held in each fund at such dates of the reorganizations, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the dates of the reorganizations. On April 27, 2007, 1,144,589 Series I and II shares of the Fund valued at $56,570,503 were redeemed by a significant shareholder and settled through a redemption-in-kind transaction, which resulted in a realized gain of $11,904,147 to the Fund for book purposes. From a federal income tax perspective, the realized gains are not recognized.

(a) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (b) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (c) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $455,282 and $163,822 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.

AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

INDEXES Cumulative total returns, 12/31/08 to 6/30/09, excluding variable product issuer charges. If variable product issuer charges were included, returns would be lower. Series I Shares 12.48% Series II Shares 12.27 S&P 500 Index* (Broad Market Index) 3.19 Russell Midcap Growth Index* (Style-Specific Index) 16.61 Lipper VUF Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index* (Peer Group Index) 16.11
*Lipper Inc. The S&P 500--REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- INDEX is a market capitalization-weighted index covering all major areas of the U.S. economy. It is not the 500 largest companies, but rather the most widely held 500 companies chosen with respect to market size, liquidity and their industry. The RUSSELL MIDCAP--REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- GROWTH INDEX measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell Midcap Growth Index is a trademark/ service mark of the Frank Russell Company. Russell--REGISTERED TRADEMARK-- is a trademark of the Frank Russell Company. The LIPPER VUF MID-CAP GROWTH FUNDS INDEX is an equally weighted representation of the largest variable insurance underlying funds in the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds category. These funds have an above-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes. A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $350 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $350 million 0.625% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Through at least April 30, 2010, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.745% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.73% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.715% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.685% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.67% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.655% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.64% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $7,428. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $177,575 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ====================================================================================================================== Equity Securities $146,019,797 $871,827 $314,502 $147,206,126 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================================================
NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $742,152 and securities sales of $1,242,501, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(221,066). NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,604 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND NOTE 7--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 $50,024,391 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* 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 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $97,536,074 and $103,712,607, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

(a) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (b) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (c) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $66,241 and $79,618 for Series I and Series II, respectively. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (Invesco Aim) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 16-17, 2009, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or "independent" Trustees voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2009. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund's investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable. THE BOARD'S FUND EVALUATION PROCESS The Board's Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees that are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This SubCommittee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds. In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper), under the direction and supervision of the Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee's recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. The Investments Committee also considers each Sub-Committee's recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year. The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts with independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees were also assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund's investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds' proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms' length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, at the direction of the Board, prepared an independent written evaluation. During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Board considered all of the information provided to them, including information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from another Trustee and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Aim, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees' deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer's independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund's investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 17, 2009, and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund's performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers. FACTORS AND CONCLUSIONS AND SUMMARY OF INDEPENDENT WRITTEN FEE EVALUATION A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Aim The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Aim under the Fund's investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Aim in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Aim who provide these services. The Board's review of the qualifications of Invesco Aim to provide these services included the Board's consideration of Invesco Aim's portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Aim and its affiliates, and Invesco Aim's equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Aim are appropriate and that Invesco Aim currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund's investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND continued ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund's portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund's investment advisory agreement. In determining whether to continue the Fund's investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Aim and the Fund, as well as the Board's knowledge of Invesco Aim's operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Aim and its affiliates continue to take to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the AIM Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Aim and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas support the Board's approval of the continuance of the Fund's investment advisory agreement. B. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Affiliated Sub-Advisers The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are geographically dispersed in financial centers around the world, can provide research and other information and make recommendations on the markets and economies of various countries and securities of companies located in such countries or on various types of investments and investment techniques. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Aim to utilize the additional resources and talent of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. C. Fund Performance The Board considered fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund. The Board compared the Fund's performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Aim or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds - Mid-Cap Growth Index. The Board noted that the Fund's performance was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the third quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the Fund's performance was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that Invesco Aim indicated that much of the underperformance was concentrated in the second half of 2007 as a result of financial sector stock selection. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund's Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions. The Board noted that, in response to the Board's focus on fund performance, Invesco Aim has taken a number of actions intended to improve the investment process for the funds. D. Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers The Board compared the Fund's contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund's Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Aim or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Fund's contractual advisory fee rate was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that some comparative data was at least one year old and that other data did not reflect the market downturn that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Board also compared the Fund's effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other domestic clients of Invesco Aim and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco. The Board noted that the Fund's rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund. Additionally, the Board compared the Fund's effective fee rate to the effective fee rate paid by a separately managed account/wrap account advised by an Invesco Aim affiliate. The Board noted that the Fund's rate was above the rate for the separately managed account/wrap account. The Board considered that management of the separately managed account/wrap account by the Invesco Aim affiliate involves different levels of services and different operational and regulatory requirements than Invesco Aim's management of the Fund. The Board concluded that these differences are appropriately reflected in the fee structure for the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Aim contractually agreed at last year's June meeting to waive advisory fees of the Fund through at least April 30, 2010, and that this fee waiver includes breakpoints based on net asset levels. The Board also noted that Invesco Aim has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2010 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, the expense waiver is not having any impact. The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services provided by Invesco Aim pursuant to the Fund's advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Aim to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND continued After taking account of the Fund's contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the comparative advisory fee information and the fee waivers/expense limitations discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund's advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable. E. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund's contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint, but that due to the Fund's asset level at the end of the past calendar year, the Fund is not currently benefiting from the breakpoint. Based on this information, the Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fees appropriately reflect economies of scale at current asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates. F. Profitability and Financial Resources The Board reviewed information from Invesco Aim concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Aim and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Aim and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of Invesco Aim and its affiliates. The Board reviewed with Invesco Aim the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of Invesco Ltd., the ultimate parent of Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and of Invesco Aim, as well as the profitability of Invesco Aim in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Aim continues to operate at a net profit, although the reduction of assets under management as a result of market movements and the increase in voluntary fee waivers for affiliated money market funds have reduced the profitability of Invesco Aim and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund's fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Aim and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Aim is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund's investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Aim has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the sub-advisory contracts, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. G. Collateral Benefits to Invesco Aim and its Affiliates The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Aim and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Aim's relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Aim and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Aim and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Aim and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Aim and its affiliates are providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund. The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through "soft dollar" arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Aim's and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers' expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Aim's and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers' soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Aim, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board considered the fact that the Fund's uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Aim pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Aim will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Aim has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2010, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Aim receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund's investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund's investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is growth of capital. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. 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 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. SECURITIES LENDING -- 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 by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. 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. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could 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. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. 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 AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND 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. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.65% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.60% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $87,150. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $148,700 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,478,138 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

* Other Investments includes foreign currency contracts, which are included at unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). NOTE 4--DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS Effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position and financial performance. The adoption of this provision has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements. VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AT PERIOD-END The Table below summarizes the value of the Fund's derivative instruments, detailed by primary risk exposure, held as of June 30, 2009:

NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,104 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 7--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited to utilizing $211,670,138 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $ 33,267,817 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 157,184,467 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 21,217,854 =============================================================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $211,670,138 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* 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 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $144,097,901 and $226,726,947, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

(a) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (b) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (c) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $1,237,157 and $23,126 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. (e) Net investment income per share and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets include a special cash dividend received of $3.00 per share owned of Microsoft Corp. on December 2, 2004. Net investment income per share and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets excluding the special dividend are $0.23 and 0.92%, $0.14 and 0.67% for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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. 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. 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 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. Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance. 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. LOWER-RATED SECURITIES -- The Fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., "junk bonds". Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors' claims. J. DOLLAR ROLL AND FORWARD COMMITMENT TRANSACTIONS -- The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage- backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA mortgage- backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker- dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a "fee" or a "drop". "Fee" income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the "drop" which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from/to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations. At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund's overall interest rate exposure. K. 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. L. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. M. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate and equity price movements and currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. N. SWAP AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts ("CDS") for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Interest rate, index, and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND A CDS is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the "par value", of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer "par value" or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Fund's exposure to the counterparty. Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. O. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.60% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.55% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.75% and Series II shares to 1.00% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $68,868 and reimbursed Fund expenses of $21,098. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $19,777 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

* Other Investments includes futures which are included at unrealized appreciation. NOTE 4--DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS Effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position and financial performance. The adoption of this provision has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements. VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AT PERIOD-END The Table below summarizes the value of the Fund's derivative instruments, detailed by primary risk exposure, held as of June 30, 2009:

NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' 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. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,453 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund's total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceeds 5% of the Fund's total assets. NOTE 7--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $ 6,105,068 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 6,879,052 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2014 341,884 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2015 221,396 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 2,197,944 =============================================================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $15,745,344 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* 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 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $26,393,195 and $26,473,452, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

(a) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (b) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable, and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (c) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $22,789 and $357 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital growth. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.745% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.73% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.715% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.685% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.67% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.655% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.64% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. The Advisor did not waive fees during the period under this agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $684 and class level expenses of $12,383 and $4 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $50,503 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity Securities $39,218,961 $1,305,072 $160,000 $40,684,033 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================================================
NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $284,437 and securities sales of $217,020, which resulted in net realized gains of $29,200. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,474 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND NOTE 7--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 $55,297,523 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 15,568,832 =============================================================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $70,866,355 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* 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 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $23,980,994 and $29,630,353, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

DYNAMICS FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009, through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is capital growth. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. OTHER RISKS -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. The financial services sector is subject to extensive government regulation, which may change frequently. The profitability of businesses in this sector depends heavily on the availability and cost of money and may fluctuate significantly in response to changes to interest rates and general economic conditions. AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.74% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.73% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.72% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.71% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.69% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.68% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $10,894 and reimbursed class level expenses of $2,038 of Series II shares. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $50,168 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity Securities $53,515,515 $-- $-- $53,515,515 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================================================================
NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,471 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 6--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 $22,454,636 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $10,537,035 and $3,397,400, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 2,008,245 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (36,163,241) ================================================================================================ Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities $(34,154,996) ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ================================================================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $87,670,511.

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 74% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund.

(a) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than on year and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns, if applicable. (b) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (c) Calculated using average shares outstanding.

FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is capital growth. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND 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 Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. OTHER RISKS -- The Fund may invest a large percentage of assets in securities of a limited number of companies, such that each investment may have a greater effect on the Fund's overall performance, and any change in the value of those securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund. The Fund has invested in non-publicly traded companies, some of which are in the startup or development stages. These investments are inherently risky, as the market for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. The Fund could lose its entire investment in these companies. These investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments in privately held venture capital securities are illiquid. J. SECURITIES LENDING -- 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 by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. 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. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND 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. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. K. 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. L. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.74% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.73% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.72% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.71% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.69% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.68% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $4,139. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $169,419 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4--DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position and financial performance. The adoption of this provision has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements. VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AT PERIOD-END The Table below summarizes the value of the Fund's derivative instruments, detailed by primary risk exposure, held as of June 30, 2009:

NOTE 5--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $4,306, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(4,370). NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,609 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 $12,235,818 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $44,693,431 and $49,654,593, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM In addition to their meetings was controlling. Each Trustee may have Variable Insurance Funds is required under throughout the year, the Sub-Committees evaluated the information provided the Investment Company Act of 1940 to meet at designated contract renewal differently from another Trustee and approve annually the renewal of the AIM meetings each year to conduct an in-depth attributed different weight to the various V.I.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Global Real Estate Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is high total return through growth of capital and current income. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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. The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year's allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction to the cost of investments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. OTHER RISKS -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. The Fund concentrates its assets in the real estate industry, an investment in the fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, cultural or technological developments. J. SECURITIES LENDING -- 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 by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. 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. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated AIM V.I. GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could 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. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. K. 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. L. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.74% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.73% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.72% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.71% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.69% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.68% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has also contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. AIM V.I. GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $900 and reimbursed class level expenses of $2,099 for Series II shares. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $93,664 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,523 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. AIM V.I. GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND NOTE 5--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 6--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 $18,732,825 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $44,261,072 and $30,627,295, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

(a) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (b) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (c) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $76,532 and $4,718 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. (e) Commencement date of April 30, 2004.

GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is a high level of current income consistent with reasonable concern for safety of principal. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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. 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. 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 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. 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. OTHER RISKS -- The Funds may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. Many securities purchased by the Fund are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. J. DOLLAR ROLL AND FORWARD COMMITMENT TRANSACTIONS -- The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage- backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA mortgage- backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker- dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a "fee" or a "drop". "Fee" income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the "drop" which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from/to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations. At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund's overall interest rate exposure. K. 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. L. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. M. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate and equity price movements and currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. N. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.50% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.45% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.73% and Series II shares to 0.98% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $174,529. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $169,135 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,749,248 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4--DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS Effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position and financial performance. The adoption of this provision has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements. VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AT PERIOD-END The Table below summarizes the value of the Fund's derivative instruments, detailed by primary risk exposure, held as of June 30, 2009:

NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $131. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,438 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund's total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceeds 5% of the Fund's total assets. NOTE 8--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008. 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 six months ended June 30, 2009 was $329,716,927 and $484,370,670, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $51,147,432 and $45,847,830. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period end.

GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. High Yield Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is a high level of current income. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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. 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. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data. 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 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. 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recounted as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. LOWER-RATED SECURITIES -- The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., "junk bonds". Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors' claims. J. SECURITIES LENDING -- 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 by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. 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. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could 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. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND K. 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. L. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. M. SWAP AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts ("CDS") for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Interest rate, index, and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index. A CDS is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the "par value", of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer "par value" or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Fund's exposure to the counterparty. Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $200 million 0.625% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $300 million 0.55% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.50% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $1 billion 0.45% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.95% and Series II shares to 1.20% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $69,178. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $54,604 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4--DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS Effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position and financial performance. The adoption of this provision has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements. VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AT PERIOD-END The Table below summarizes the value of the Fund's derivative instruments, detailed by primary risk exposure, held as of June 30, 2009:

NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,470 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund's total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceeds 5% of the Fund's total assets. NOTE 7--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited to utilizing $11,026,795 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:

HIGH YIELD FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. International Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. 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 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.70% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit net annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $101,672. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $149,689 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,541,341 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ========================================================================================================================= Equity Securities $587,730,718 $883,700,142 $-- $1,471,430,860 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ =========================================================================================================================
NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,958 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 6--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 $87,932,439 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $310,599,820 and $185,313,529, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 78,390,773 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (161,346,489) ================================================================================================ Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities $ (82,955,716) ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ================================================================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,554,386,576.

(a) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (b) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (c) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $427,764 and $841,184 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

(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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP 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 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market 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. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.695% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.67% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.645% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.62% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.57% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.545% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.52% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $51,856. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $73,560 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,502 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 6--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited to utilizing $11,925,246 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:

(a) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (b) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (c) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $60,914 and $662 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. (e) Net investment income (loss) per share and the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets include a special cash dividend received of $3.00 per share owned of Microsoft Corp. on December 2, 2004.

AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Leisure Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is capital growth. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. OTHER RISKS -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. The leisure sector depends on consumer discretionary spending, which generally falls during economic downturns. J. SECURITIES LENDING -- 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 by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. 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. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could 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. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. K. 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 AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND 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. L. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.74% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.73% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.72% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.71% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.69% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.68% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $62,696 and reimbursed Fund expenses of $6,513. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $20,883 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity Securities $17,329,514 $2,203,459 $-- $19,532,973 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ==========================================================================================================================
NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,443 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 6--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 $850,432 _________________________________________________________________________________ =================================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $4,700,654 and $5,532,498, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

LEISURE FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. MID CAP 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 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. SECURITIES LENDING -- 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 by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. 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. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could 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. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. 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 AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND 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. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $500 million 0.725% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.675% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $1.5 billion 0.65% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $30,273. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $49,015 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $474,037 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4--DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS Effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position and financial performance. The adoption of this provision has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements. VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AT PERIOD-END The Table below summarizes the value of the Fund's derivative instruments, detailed by primary risk exposure, held as of June 30, 2009:

NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,922 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 7--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008. NOTE 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $77,424,342 and $98,936,183, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

(a) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (b) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (c) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $339,860 and $46,414 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Money Market Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- The Fund's securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment advisor may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly to separate accounts of participating insurance companies. Distributions from net realized gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including the Fund's pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by the Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Eligible securities for collateral are securities consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and may consist of U.S. Government Securities, U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities and/or, Investment Grade Debt Securities. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of Investment Grade Debt Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non- registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates ("Joint repurchase agreements"). The repurchase amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income. J. TREASURY GUARANTEE PROGRAM -- The Board of Trustees approved the participation of the Funds in the U.S. Department of Treasury's (the "Treasury Department") Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the "Program") as extended except as noted below. Under the Program, the Treasury Department will guarantee shareholders in the Fund that they will receive $1 for each Fund share held by them as of the close of business on September 19, 2008, in the event that such Fund (in which they were invested as of September 19, 2008) liquidates and the per share value at the time of liquidation is less than $0.995. On April 7, 2009, the Funds' Board approved the Fund to participate in the final extension of the Program through September 18, 2009. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:

(collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) extraordinary items, including payments to participate in the United States Treasury Temporary Guarantee Program (the "Program"); (iv) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Invesco Aim and/or Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc., ("IADI") voluntarily waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the Fund's yield. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim voluntarily waived advisory fees of $11,450 and reimbursed class level expenses of $1,571 for Series II shares. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $42,997 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,489 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York Mellon, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 6--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008. NOTE 7--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns, if applicable. (b) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (c) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $46,108 and $2,048 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. (d) After fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Ratio of expenses to average net assets prior to fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements was 0.88% and 1.13% for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the AIM V.I. Money Market Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (Invesco Aim) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 16-17, 2009, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or "independent" Trustees voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2009. In doing so, the Board determined that the Fund's investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable. THE BOARD'S FUND EVALUATION PROCESS The Board's Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees that are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the AIM Funds. This SubCommittee structure permits the Trustees to focus on the performance of the AIM Funds that have been assigned to them. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, and the Sub-Committees review monthly and quarterly comparative performance information and periodic asset flow data for their assigned funds. These materials are prepared under the direction and supervision of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the AIM Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations of these funds. In addition to their meetings throughout the year, the Sub-Committees meet at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct an in-depth review of the performance, fees, expenses, and other matters related to their assigned funds. During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the AIM Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper), under the direction and supervision of the Senior Officer who also prepares a separate analysis of this information for the Trustees. Each Sub-Committee then makes recommendations to the Investments Committee regarding the fees and expenses of their assigned funds. The Investments Committee considers each Sub-Committee's recommendations and makes its own recommendations regarding the fees and expenses of the AIM Funds to the full Board. The Investments Committee also considers each SubCommittee's recommendations in making its annual recommendation to the Board whether to approve the continuance of each AIM Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year. The independent Trustees met separately during their evaluation of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts with independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees were also assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund's investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer. One responsibility of the Senior Officer is to manage the process by which the AIM Funds' proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms' length and reasonable. Accordingly, the Senior Officer must either supervise a competitive bidding process or prepare an independent written evaluation. The Senior Officer recommended that an independent written evaluation be provided and, at the direction of the Board, prepared an independent written evaluation. During the annual contract renewal process, the Board considered the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Board considered all of the information provided to them, including information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any particular factor that was controlling. Each Trustee may have evaluated the information provided differently from another Trustee and attributed different weight to the various factors. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other AIM Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Aim, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees' deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The discussion below serves as a summary of the Senior Officer's independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund's investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, information set forth below is as of June 17, 2009, and does not reflect any changes that may have occurred since that date, including but not limited to changes to the Fund's performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers. FACTORS AND CONCLUSIONS AND SUMMARY OF INDEPENDENT WRITTEN FEE EVALUATION A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Aim The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Aim under the Fund's investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Aim in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Aim who provide these services. The Board's review of the qualifications of Invesco Aim to provide these services included the Board's consideration of Invesco Aim's portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Aim and its affiliates, and Invesco Aim's equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Aim are appropriate and that Invesco Aim currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund's investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND continued ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund's portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund's investment advisory agreement. In determining whether to continue the Fund's investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Aim and the Fund, as well as the Board's knowledge of Invesco Aim's operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Aim and its affiliates continue to take to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the AIM Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Aim and its affiliates provide to the AIM Funds in each of these areas support the Board's approval of the continuance of the Fund's investment advisory agreement. B. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Affiliated Sub-Advisers The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are geographically dispersed in financial centers around the world, can provide research and other information and make recommendations on the markets and economies of various countries and securities of companies located in such countries or on various types of investments and investment techniques. The Board noted that investment decisions for the Fund are made by Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (Invesco Institutional). The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Aim to utilize the additional resources and talent of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. C. Fund Performance The Board considered fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Institutional currently manages assets of the Fund. The Board compared the Fund's performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Aim or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds - Money Market Index. The Board noted that the Fund's performance was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the Fund's performance was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Invesco Aim advised the Board that the Fund has historically been priced consistent with its role as a conduit to and from other Invesco Aim products, which impacts performance. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund's Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions. The Board noted that, in response to the Board's focus on fund performance, Invesco Aim has taken a number of actions intended to improve the investment process for the funds. D. Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers The Board compared the Fund's actual advisory fee rate to the actual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund's Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Aim or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser. The Board noted that the Fund's actual advisory fee rate was at the median actual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining actual advisory fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that some comparative data was at least one year old and that other data did not reflect the market downturn that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Board also compared the Fund's effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other domestic clients of Invesco Aim and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including two mutual funds sub-advised by Invesco Institutional. The Board noted that the Fund's rate was above the effective rate for the mutual fund advised by Invesco Aim and above the sub-adviser effective fee rate of the fund sub-advised by Invesco Institutional. The Board also noted that Invesco Institutional sub-advises a foreign fund with comparable investment strategies. The Board noted that Invesco Aim has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2010 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact. The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services provided by Invesco Aim pursuant to the Fund's advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Aim to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates. After taking account of the Fund's contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund's advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND continued E. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund's contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint but that, due to the Fund's asset level at the end of the past calendar year, the Fund is not currently benefiting from the breakpoint. Based on this information, the Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fees would reflect economies of scale at higher asset levels. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the AIM Funds and affiliates. F. Profitability and Financial Resources The Board reviewed information from Invesco Aim concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Aim and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Aim and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also reviewed information concerning the financial condition of Invesco Aim and its affiliates. The Board reviewed with Invesco Aim the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the overall profitability of Invesco Ltd., the ultimate parent of Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and of Invesco Aim, as well as the profitability of Invesco Aim in connection with managing the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Aim continues to operate at a net profit, although the reduction of assets under management as a result of market movements and the increase in voluntary fee waivers for affiliated money market funds have reduced the profitability of Invesco Aim and its affiliates. The Board concluded that the Fund's fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Aim and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Aim is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund's investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Aim has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the sub-advisory contracts, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. G. Collateral Benefits to Invesco Aim and its Affiliates The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Aim and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Aim's relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Aim and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Aim and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Aim and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Aim and its affiliates are providing these services in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund. The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through "soft dollar" arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Aim and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Aim's and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers' expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Aim's and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers' soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Aim, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board considered the fact that the Fund's uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Aim pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Aim will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Aim has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2010, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees Invesco Aim receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund's investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund's investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. POWERSHARES ETF ALLOCATION FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. PowerShares ETF Allocation Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is to provide total return consistent with a moderate level of risk relative to the broad stock market. The Fund primarily invests in exchange-traded funds ("underlying funds") advised by Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC ("Invesco PowerShares"). The Fund may also invest in affiliated mutual funds advised by Invesco Aim Advisors (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"); in unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds and in other securities. Invesco Aim and Invesco PowerShares (collectively the "Advisors") are affiliates of each other as they are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco"). Invesco Aim may change the Fund's asset class allocations, the underlying funds or the target weightings in the underlying funds without shareholder approval. The underlying funds may engage in a number of investment techniques and practices, which involve certain risks. Each underlying fund's accounting policies are outlined in the underlying fund's financial statements and the affiliated underlying funds are available upon request. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. 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. 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 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. Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance. 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. AIM V.I. POWERSHARES ETF ALLOCATION FUND 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. Distributions from income from underlying funds, if any, are recorded as dividend income on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gains from underlying funds, if any, are recorded as realized gains on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. E. 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. F. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. G. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Advisor. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.67% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.655% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.64% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.625% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.61% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.58% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.565% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
AIM V.I. POWERSHARES ETF ALLOCATION FUND Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub- Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.18% and Series II shares to 0.43% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $17,251 and reimbursed Fund expenses of $72,802. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,511 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. AIM V.I. POWERSHARES ETF ALLOCATION FUND The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity Securities $14,845,704 $-- $-- $14,845,704 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================================================================
NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,422 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 6--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008. NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $13,447,091 and $724,978, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 95% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, Invesco Aim and/or Invesco Aim affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco Aim and or Invesco Aim affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services.

POWERSHARES ETF ALLOCATION FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP 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 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. SECURITIES LENDING -- 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 by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. 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. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could 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. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.745% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.73% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.715% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.685% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.67% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.655% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.64% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.15% and Series II shares to 1.40% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $2,324. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $187,810 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ======================================================================================================================== Equity Securities $171,666,078 $-- $0 $171,666,078 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================================================
NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $302,756, which resulted in net realized gains of $34,634. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,613 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 7--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 $12,193,640 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND NOTE 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $39,191,930 and $29,524,749, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 15,803,679 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (35,722,485) ================================================================================================ Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities $(19,918,806) ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ================================================================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $191,584,884.

(a) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (b) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (c) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. For the period ending December 31, 2007, the portfolio turnover calculation excludes the value of securities purchased of $17,709,035 and sold of $19,432,514 in the effort to realign the Fund's portfolio holdings after the reorganization of AIM V.I. Small Cap Growth Fund into the Fund. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $144,529 and $7,190 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Technology Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objective is capital growth. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. OTHER RISKS -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. Many of the products and services offered in technology-related industries are subject to rapid obsolescence, which may lower the value of the securities of the companies in this sector. J. SECURITIES LENDING -- 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 by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. 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. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could 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. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. K. 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. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND 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. L. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. M. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate and equity price movements and currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" or "Invesco Aim"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.74% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.73% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.72% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.71% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.69% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.68% ___________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $2,373 and reimbursed class level expenses of $26 for Series II shares. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,794 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $92,853 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity Securities $111,102,016 $632,904 $843,645 $112,578,565 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Treasury Securities -- 227,610 -- 227,610 ====================================================================================================================== Total Investments $111,102,016 $860,514 $843,645 $112,806,175 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================================================
AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND NOTE 4--DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year, the Fund has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position and financial performance. The adoption of this provision has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements. EFFECT OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 The table below summarizes the gains (losses) on derivative instruments, detailed by primary risk exposure, recognized in earnings during the period:
LOCATION OF GAIN (LOSS) ON STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS -------------------------- FUTURES* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Realized Gain (Loss) Index risk $41,488 _______________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================
* The average value outstanding of futures contracts during the period was $219,677. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,514 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--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 7--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited to utilizing $189,666,156 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $153,547,080 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 33,793,499 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2016 2,325,577 =============================================================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $189,666,156 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND NOTE 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $22,678,656 and $20,514,889, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

TECHNOLOGY FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2009 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Utilities Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty- one separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The Fund's investment objectives are capital growth and income. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("variable products"). 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 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 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, American Depositary Receipts 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than Corporate Loans. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. 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. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized 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, the investment advisor 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. 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. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. 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 by a significant amount. In addition, management monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Such events and transactions are monitored through the date of the report of independent registered public accounting firm for audited periods and 45 days from the period end date for all other periods. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust 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, including the Fund's servicing agreements, 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. OTHER RISKS -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. The Fund may invest a large percentage of assets in securities of a limited number of companies, such that each investment may have a greater effect on the Fund's overall performance, and any change in the value of those securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Government regulation, difficulties in obtaining adequate financing and investment return, environmental issues, prices of fuel for generation of electricity, availability of natural gas, risks associated with power marketing and trading, and risks associated with nuclear power facilities may adversely affect the market value of the Fund's holdings. 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. AIM V.I. UTILITIES 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. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts 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. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The maximum risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. ("Invesco AIM" or the "Advisor"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor based on the annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund between the Advisor and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors") the Advisor, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Advisor to any such Affiliated Sub-Advisor(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Advisor(s). The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.93% and Series II shares to 1.18% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2010. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Advisor will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. Further, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2010, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Advisor receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $28,059. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco Aim pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco Aim a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco Aim for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, Invesco Aim was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $66,834 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Aim Investment Services, Inc. ("IAIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IAIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IAIS for certain expenses incurred by IAIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. ("IADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco Aim, IAIS and/or IADI. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND NOTE 3--ADDITIONAL VALUATION INFORMATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level: Level 1 -- Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. Level 2 -- Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. Level 3 -- Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2009. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity Securities $66,146,681 $3,753,343 $-- $69,900,024 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ =====================================================================================================================
NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICERS' FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officers' 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,525 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--CASH BALANCES The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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 Invesco Aim, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 6--TAX INFORMATION The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund's fiscal year-end. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $919,643 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $4,832,659 and $16,358,832, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

(a) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (b) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns. (c) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. (d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000's omitted) of $69,397 and $1,515 for Series I and Series II, respectively. (e) Commencement date of April 30, 2004. (f) Annualized. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, 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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, 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 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
