See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Aggressive 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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, as such, AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.80% of the first $150 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.625% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $150 million. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses and /or reimburse expenses (excluding interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued at any time without further notice to investors. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $1,245. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $333,247, of which AIM retained $50,000 for such services. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $10,250 for services provided by AIM. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $3,175. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agency fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $1 and reductions in custodian fees of $27 under expense offset arrangements which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $28. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,793 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Unrealized appreciation-investments $ 30,362,380 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (30,701) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (66,470,730) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 183,323,118 ============================================================= Total net assets $147,184,067 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2006 $ 354,222 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2007 44,406 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 1,780,366 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 35,123,543 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 29,039,053 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 129,140 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $66,470,730 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND NOTE 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $115,260,716 and $102,570,651, respectively. The amount of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities, for tax purposes, as of December 31, 2003 is as follows:
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $32,114,001 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,751,621) ============================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $30,362,380 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $116,814,857
NOTE 9--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $991,811, undistributed net realized gains decreased by $1 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $991,810. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 10--SHARE INFORMATION

NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Your Fund's investment advisor, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. BALANCED FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve as high a total return as possible, consistent with preservation of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. 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. 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 AIM V.I. BALANCED FUND U.S. Government Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities and/or Investment Grade Debt Securities. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of Investment Grade Debt Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements 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"). D. DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTIONS -- The Fund may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. 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 repurchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities sold. 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. The difference between the selling price and the future repurchase price is recorded as realized gains (loss). At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll, it will segregate liquid assets having a dollar value equal to the repurchase price. 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 repurchase 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 repurchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed transaction costs. E. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gains, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. F. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from, (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. H. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. I. COVERED CALL OPTIONS -- The Fund may write call options, on a covered basis; that is, the Fund will own the underlying security. When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. The current market value of a written option is the mean between the last bid and asked prices on that day. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. J. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as a hedge against changes in market conditions. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the AIM V.I. BALANCED FUND account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are made or received depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. K. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.75% of the first $150 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $150 million. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $1,157. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the Participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $240,713 for such services, of which AIM retained $50,000 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $7,132 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $5,590. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agency fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $1 and reductions in custodian fees of $1 under expense offset arrangements which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $2. AIM V.I. BALANCED FUND NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plans. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,736 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving line of credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed line of credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--OPTION CONTRACTS WRITTEN

NOTE 8--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
2003 2002 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions from ordinary income $1,877,126 $2,287,776 _______________________________________________________________ ===============================================================
Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: - ----------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 1,462,542 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 4,084,279 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (30,556) - ----------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (25,375,765) - ----------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 121,657,583 =========================================================== Total net assets $101,798,083 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, bond premium amortization and the treatment of defaulted bonds. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(2,225). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund utilized $2,194,166 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for Federal Income Tax Purposes. AIM V.I. BALANCED FUND The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 $ 89,585 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 9,069,227 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 16,216,953 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $25,375,765 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $119,313,165 and $111,630,409, respectively. Receivable for investments matured represents the estimated proceeds to the fund by Candescent Technologies Corp. which is in default with respect to the principal payments on $548,000 par value, Senior Unsecured Guaranteed Subordinated Debentures, 8.00%, which was due May 1, 2003. This estimate was determined in accordance with the fair valuation procedures authorized by the Board of Trustees.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $4,288,779 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (202,275) ============================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $4,086,504 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $98,305,062.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of foreign currency transactions on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $147,652, and undistributed net realized gains decreased by $147,652. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the AIM V.I. BALANCED FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I. BALANCED FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I. Balanced Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2003, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Balanced Fund as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.725% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets on the next $500 million, plus 0.675% of the Fund's average daily net assets on the next $500 million, plus 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued at any time without further notice to investors. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $3,341. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $948,718 for such services, of which AIM retained $90,620 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $19,126 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $424,311. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds.

NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agency fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $1 and reductions in custodian fees of $60 under expense offset arrangements, which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $61. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,305 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
2003 2002 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $89,726 $2,325 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 99,203,703 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (11,028) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (6,780,249) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 470,847,891 ============================================================= Total net assets $563,260,317 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(739). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $ 4,100 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 5,253,988 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 1,522,161 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $6,780,249 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
NOTE 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $297,680,959 and $62,033,960, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $100,549,101 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,344,659) ============================================================= Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 99,204,442 _____________________________________________________________ ============================================================= Cost of investments for tax purposes is $472,087,959.
NOTE 9--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of excise taxes, excess distributions, net operating losses and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $360,564, undistributed net realized gain (loss) decreased by $14,179 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $346,385. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 10--SHARE INFORMATION

BASIC VALUE FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Your Fund's investment advisor, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2003, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period September 10, 2001 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2001. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period September 10, 2001 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Blue Chip 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's primary investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital, with a secondary objective of current income. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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 AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as a hedge against changes in market conditions. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are made or received depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.75% of the first $350 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.625% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $350 million. AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30% through December 31, 2004. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $854. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $265,238 for such services, of which AIM retained $50,000 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $8,446 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $1,675. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agent fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $1 and reductions in custodian fees of $11 under expense offset arrangements, which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $12. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,739 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--FUTURES CONTRACTS On December 31, 2003, $77,000 principal amount of U.S. Treasury obligations were pledged as collateral to cover margin requirements for open futures contracts.

NOTE 8--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income $ 133,423 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 9,070,506 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (20,079) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (21,144,590) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (40,901) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 135,844,854 ============================================================= Total net assets $123,843,213 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain futures contracts. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 $ 427,121 - ------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 5,392,628 - ------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 11,780,141 - ------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 3,544,700 ======================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $21,144,590 _______________________________________________________ =======================================================
NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $57,779,833 and $20,295,070, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $12,298,853 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (3,228,347) ============================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 9,070,506 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $114,814,013.

On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2003, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the four year period then ended and for the period December 29, 1999 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 1999. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the four year period then ended and for the period December 29, 1999 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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, as such, AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 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. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. COVERED CALL OPTIONS -- The Fund may write call options, on a covered basis; that is, the Fund will own the underlying security. When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. The current market value of a written option is the mean between the last bid and asked prices on that day. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. H. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.65% of the first $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued at any time without further notice to investors. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $5,898. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $1,906,559 for such services of which AIM retained $208,585 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $53,308 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to their customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $107,842. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash and/or cash collateral received from security lending transactions. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

* Dividend income is net of fees paid to security lending counterparties of $138,848. NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agent fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $2 and reductions in custodian fees of $111 under expense offset arrangements, which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $113. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $5,904 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities to the extent of one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. At December 31, 2003, securities with an aggregate value of $28,844,544 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $30,149,300 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral net of fees paid to counterparties of $10,593 for securities lending transactions.

NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 239,973,049 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (92,052) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (467,475,104) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (124) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 1,236,880,333 ============================================================= Total net assets $1,009,286,102 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $2,837. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $254,717,808 - ------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 156,444,344 - ------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 56,312,952 ======================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $467,475,104 _______________________________________________________ =======================================================
NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $510,471,655 and $517,384,332, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $247,960,545 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (7,990,333) ============================================================= Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $239,970,212 _____________________________________________________________ ============================================================= Cost of investments for tax purposes is $796,621,664.
AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily, as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating loss and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $2,110,416, undistributed net realized gains decreased by $68,669 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $2,041,747. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Your Fund's investment advisor, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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, as such, AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 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. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. COVERED CALL OPTIONS -- The Fund may write call options, on a covered basis; that is, the Fund will own the underlying security. When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. The current market value of a written option is the mean between the last bid and asked prices on that day. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. H. PUT OPTIONS -- The Fund may purchase put options. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option's underlying instrument may be a security or a futures contract. Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund's resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the securities hedged. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold. I. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.75% of the first $350 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.625% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $350 million. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued at any time without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $1,296. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $277,771 for such services, of which AIM retained $50,000 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $14,808 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $53,071. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash and/or cash collateral received from securities lending transactions. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

* Dividend income is net of fees paid to security lending counterparties of $82,976. NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agency fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $5 and reductions in custodian fees of $134 under expense offset arrangements which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $139. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,751 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving line of credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed line of credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities to the extent of one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2003, securities with an aggregate value of $11,953,302 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $12,209,932 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral net of fees paid to counterparties of $51,223 for securities lending transactions.

NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Unrealized appreciation -- investments 26,944,668 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (30,180) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (24,079,631) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 124,527,972 ============================================================= Total net assets $127,362,829 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund utilized $4,983,066 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $11,926,712 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 $12,152,919 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $24,079,631 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $103,173,977 and $88,377,248, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $27,482,726 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (538,058) ============================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $26,944,668 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $116,209,696.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $180,925, undistributed net realized gains decreased by $187 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $180,738. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. 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 gains, 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 AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 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. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.65% of the first $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and /or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued at any time without further notice to investors. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund, if any). For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $71,875. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $2,696,121 for such services, of which AIM retained $334,788 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $22,142 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $7,206. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash and/or cash collateral received from securities lending transactions. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

* Dividend income is net of fees paid to security lending counterparties of $36,551. NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agent fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $2 and reductions in custodian fees of $222 under expense offset arrangements, which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $224. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $7,420 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities to the extent of one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2003, there were no securities on loan to brokers. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral net of fees paid to counterparties of $87,225 for securities lending transactions. NOTE 8--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
2003 2002 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $14,217,857 $5,112,673 _______________________________________________________________ ===============================================================
Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income $ 14,209,716 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 159,268,281 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (124,411) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (392,723,808) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 1,778,653,359 ============================================================= Total net assets $1,559,283,137 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation)is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the treatment of defaulted bonds. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 $ 852,667 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 370,653,287 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 21,217,854 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $392,723,808 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $391,409,028 and $473,053,351, respectively. Receivable for investments matured represents the estimated proceeds to the Fund by Candescent Technologies Corp. which is in default with respect to the principal payments on $18,500,000 par value, Senior Unsecured Guaranteed Subordinated Debentures, 8.00%, which was due May 1, 2003. This estimate was determined in accordance with the fair valuation procedures authorized by the Board of Trustees.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $200,024,743 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (40,756,462) ============================================================= Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $159,268,281 _____________________________________________________________ ============================================================= Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,413,845,728.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $317 and undistributed net realized gains decreased by $317. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Growth and Income Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2003, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. DENT DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Dent Demographic Trends 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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, as such, AIM V.I. DENT DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 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. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. COVERED CALL OPTIONS -- The Fund may write call options, on a covered basis; that is, the Fund will own the underlying security. When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. The current market value of a written option is the mean between the last bid and asked prices on that day. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. H. PUT OPTIONS -- The Fund may purchase put options. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option's underlying instrument may be a security or a futures contract. Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund's resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the securities hedged. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold. I. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as a hedge against changes in market conditions. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are made or received depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. J. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). H.S. Dent Advisors, Inc. ("H.S. Dent") is the Fund's sub-advisor. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.85% of the first $2 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.80% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. Under the terms of a sub-advisory agreement between AIM and H.S. Dent, AIM pays H.S. Dent at the annual rate of 0.13% of the first $1 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.10% of the next $1 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.07% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit AIM V.I. DENT DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $561. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $219,678 for such services, of which AIM retained $50,000 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $12,802 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $45,684 after AIM Distributors waived Plan fees of $30,455. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agency fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $1 and reductions in custodian fees of $21 under expense offset arrangements, which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $22. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,704 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each AIM V.I. DENT DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--OPTION CONTRACTS WRITTEN

NOTE 8--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 19,120,661 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (19,450) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (37,208,741) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 142,628,183 ============================================================= Total net assets $124,520,653 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of trustee deferral of compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund utilized $520,518 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 $ 2,600,365 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 21,006,614 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 13,601,762 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $37,208,741 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $156,261,267 and $96,951,416, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $19,332,050 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (211,389) ============================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $19,120,661 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $108,203,796.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $480,006, undistributed net realized gain (loss) decreased by $1,068 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $478,938. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. DENT DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the AIM V.I. DENT DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of foreign and U.S. government and corporate debt securities, including lower rated high yield debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds"). These high yield bonds may involve special risks in addition to the risks associated with investment in higher rated debt securities. High yield bonds may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher grade bonds. Also, the secondary market in which high yield bonds are traded may be less liquid than the market for higher grade bonds. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. The AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTIONS -- The Fund may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. 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 repurchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities sold. 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. The difference between the selling price and the future repurchase price is recorded as realized gain (loss). At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll, it will segregate liquid assets having a dollar value equal to the repurchase price. 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 repurchase 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 repurchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed transaction costs. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gains, 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, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from, (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. H. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as a hedge against changes in market conditions. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are made or received depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. Risks also include to varying degrees, the risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. I. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.60% of the first $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued at any time without further notice to investors. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $351. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the Participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $158,727 of which AIM retained $50,000 for such services. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $8,434 such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to their customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $1,182. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for period ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in custodian fees of $297 under an expense offset arrangement, which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $297. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,705 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
2003 2002 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $4,442,330 $5,544,688 _______________________________________________________________ ===============================================================
Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income $ 3,747,785 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 1,806,496 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (50,675) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (20,779,819) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (127,327) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 88,024,826 ============================================================= Total net assets $ 72,621,286 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the treatment of bond premium amortization and the tax recognition of unrealized gains (losses) on certain future and forward contracts. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $10,710. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund utilized $1,649,337 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for Federal Income Tax Purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ---------------------------------------------- December 31, 2006 $ 775,275 - ---------------------------------------------- December 31, 2007 2,582,661 - ---------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 4,437,761 - ---------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 6,105,069 - ---------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 6,879,053 ============================================== Total capital loss carryforward $20,779,819 ______________________________________________ ==============================================
AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $107,270,874 and $107,544,017, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $2,337,404 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (541,618) ======================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $1,795,786 ________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $70,078,680.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, bond premium amortization, and paydowns on mortgage backed securities on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $355,016 and undistributed net realized gains decreased by $355,016. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION Changes in shares outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2003, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. GLOBAL UTILITIES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Global 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high total return. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. 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 gains, 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 AIM V.I. GLOBAL UTILITIES FUND necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 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. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. COVERED CALL OPTIONS -- The Fund may write call options, on a covered basis; that is, the Fund will own the underlying security. When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. The current market value of a written option is the mean between the last bid and asked prices on that day. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. H. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.65% of the first $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $12,840. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $80,560 for such services, of which AIM retained $50,000 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $7,070 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $316 after AIM Distributors reimbursed Plan fees of $211. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. AIM V.I. GLOBAL UTILITIES FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,606 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 6--OPTION CONTRACTS WRITTEN

NOTE 7--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
2003 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $765,470 $739,601 ______________________________________________________________ ==============================================================
AIM V.I. GLOBAL UTILITIES FUND Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income $ 551,648 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 1,919,281 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (43,546) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (14,525,967) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital (par value and additional paid-in) 33,956,307 ============================================================= Total net assets $ 21,857,723 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the treatment of defaulted securities. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $920. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $ 3,082,903 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 8,206,319 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 3,236,745 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $14,525,967 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
NOTE 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $6,282,747 and $8,534,664, respectively. Receivable for investments matured represents the estimated proceeds to the fund by Candescent Technologies Corp. which is in default with respect to the principal payments on $527,000 par value, Senior Unsecured Guaranteed Subordinated Debentures, 8.00%, which was due May 1, 2003. The estimate was determined in accordance with the fair valuation procedures authorized by the Board of Trustees.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 3,335,990 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,417,629) ============================================================= Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 1,918,361 _____________________________________________________________ ============================================================= Cost of investments for tax purposes is $19,921,743.
NOTE 9--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES As a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and bond premium amortization on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $217, undistributed net realized gains decreased by $217. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 10--SHARE INFORMATION

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of AIM V.I. GLOBAL UTILITIES FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. NOTE 13--SIGNIFICANT EVENT On December 9, 2003, the Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") under which all of the assets of the Fund will be transferred to INVESCO VIF-Utilities Fund ("Buying Fund"), an investment portfolio of INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("Buyer"). The Buyer will issue shares of each class of the Buying Fund to shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the Fund. The Plan requires approval of the Fund's shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held on March 26, 2004. If the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Fund and certain conditions required by the Plan are satisfied, the transaction is expected to become effective on or about April 30, 2004. AIM V.I.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income consistent with reasonable concern for safety of principal. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Debt obligations that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. 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. DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTIONS -- The Fund may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. 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 repurchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities sold. 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. The difference between the selling price and the future repurchase price is recorded as realized gain (loss). At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll, it will segregate liquid assets having a dollar value equal to the repurchase price. 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 repurchase 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 repurchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed transaction costs. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gains, 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, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. 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 A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.50% on the first $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.45% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued at any time without further notice to investors. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $10,193. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $1,416,373 for such services, of which AIM retained $138,027 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $18,938 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $53,568. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in custodian fees of $272 under an expense offset arrangement, which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $272. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $5,080 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by the Fund, with an agreement that the Fund will repurchase such securities at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund will use the proceeds of a reverse repurchase agreement (which are considered to be borrowings under the 1940 Act) to purchase other permitted securities either maturing, or under an agreement to resell, at a date simultaneous with or prior to the expiration of the reverse repurchase agreement. The agreements are collateralized by the underlying securities and are carried at the amount at which the securities subsequently will be repurchased as specified in the agreements. The maximum amount outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $39,764,482 and averaged $3,308,082 per day with a weighted average interest rate of 1.01%. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
2003 2002 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $13,015,275 $7,905,940 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 193,622 -- =============================================================== Total distributions $13,208,897 $7,905,940 _______________________________________________________________ ===============================================================
Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income $ 24,922,135 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 3,960,249 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (55,027) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (11,708,442) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (1,057,949) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 532,746,184 ============================================================= Total net assets $548,807,150 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 $11,708,442 _______________________________________________________ =======================================================
NOTE 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $1,430,581,182 and $1,312,416,323, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 5,700,608 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,740,359) ============================================================= Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 3,960,249 _____________________________________________________________ ============================================================= Cost of investments for tax purposes is $593,488,194.
AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND NOTE 9--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $10,142,744 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) decreased by $10,142,744. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 10--SHARE INFORMATION

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2003, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to seek growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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, as such, AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 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. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. COVERED CALL OPTIONS -- The Fund may write call options, on a covered basis; that is, the Fund will own the underlying security. When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. The current market value of a written option is the mean between the last bid and asked prices on that day. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. H. PUT OPTIONS -- The Fund may purchase put options. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option's underlying instrument may be a security or a futures contract. Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund's resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the securities hedged. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold. I. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.65% of the first $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued at any time without further notice to investors. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $1,211. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $813,705 of which AIM retained $93,483 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $30,300 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $13,372. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agency fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $3 and reductions in custodian fees of $67 under expense offset arrangements which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $70. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,570 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND NOTE 7--OPTION CONTRACTS WRITTEN

NOTE 8--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distribution paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 84,983,653 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (71,307) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (458,314,019) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 775,737,984 ============================================================= Total net assets $ 402,336,311 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddle transactions. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $17. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 $ 4,002,102 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 325,071,012 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 103,227,233 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 26,013,672 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $458,314,019 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $359,166,185 and $423,786,330, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $88,603,391 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (3,619,755) ============================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $84,983,636 ============================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $317,434,187.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $480,753, undistributed net realized gains (losses) decreased by $382 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $480,371. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. NOTE 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENTS On December 9, 2003 the Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets of INVESCO VIF-Growth Fund ("Selling Fund"), a series of INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. As a result of the Plan, shareholders of the Selling Fund would receive shares of the Fund in exchange for their shares of the Selling Fund, and the Selling Fund would cease operations. The Plan requires approval of the Selling Fund's shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a special meeting to be held on March 26, 2004. If the Plan is approved by shareholders of the Selling Fund and certain conditions required by the Plan are satisfied, the transaction is expected to become effective on or about April 30, 2004.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of foreign and U.S. government and corporate debt securities, including lower rated high yield debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds"). These high yield bonds may involve special risks in addition to the risks associated with investment in higher rated debt securities. High yield bonds may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher grade bonds. Also, the secondary market in which high yield bonds are traded may be less liquid than the market for higher grade bonds. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. 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 gains, 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, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.625% on the first $200 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.55% on the next $300 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.50% on the next $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.45% on the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and /or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30% through December 31, 2004. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $318. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $116,171 for such services, of which AIM retained $50,000 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $6,812 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays AIM Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $1,437. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agency fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $1 and reductions in custodian fees of $301 under expense offset arrangements which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $302. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,631 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTE 7--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
2003 2002 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $2,570,035 $ -- _______________________________________________________________ ===============================================================
Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income $ 2,804,503 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 2,578,784 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (38,622) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (17,018,937) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (84,751) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 50,277,164 ============================================================= Total net assets $ 38,518,141 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, bond premium amortization and the treatment of defaulted bonds. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation, trustee retirement plan expenses and treatment of defaulted bonds. The Fund utilized $116,269 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2006 $ 130,838 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2007 545,518 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 2,010,706 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 5,842,381 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 8,489,494 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $17,018,937 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
NOTE 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $39,939,319 and $30,799,800, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $3,152,333 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (573,549) ============================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $2,578,784 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $35,200,780.
NOTE 9--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of defaulted bond adjustments, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $561 and undistributed net realized gains (losses) decreased by $561. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTE 10--SHARE INFORMATION

(d) Annualized. (e) Not annualized for periods less than one year. NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Your Fund's investment advisor, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. NOTE 13--SIGNIFICANT EVENTS On December 9, 2003 the Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets of INVESCO VIF-High Yield Fund ("Selling Fund"), a series of INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. As a result of the Plan, shareholders of the Selling Fund would receive shares of the Fund in exchange for their shares of the Selling Fund, and the Selling Fund would cease operations. The Fund requires approval of the Selling Fund's shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a special meeting to be held on March 26, 2004. If the Plan is approved by shareholders of the Selling Fund and certain conditions required by the Plan are satisfied, the transaction is expected to become effective on or about April 30, 2004. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I. High Yield Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2003, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. High Yield Fund as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term growth of capital. Companies are listed in the Schedule of Investments based on the country in which they are organized. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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, as such, AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from, (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as a hedge against changes in market conditions. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are made or received depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to 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. H. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.75% of the first $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued with approval of Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $3,809. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $574,278 for such services of which AIM retained $71,188 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $27,528 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $28,608. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. AIM V.I.

* Dividend income is net of fees paid to security lending counterparties of $266,519. NOTE 4--EXPENSES OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agency fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $3 under an expense offset arrangement which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $3. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,221 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities to the extent of one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2003, securities with an aggregate value of $24,403,301 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $26,239,529 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral net of fees paid to counterparties of $167,732 for securities lending transactions. NOTE 8--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
2003 2002 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from Ordinary income $1,429,842 $1,850,227 _______________________________________________________________ ===============================================================
Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income $ 2,121,862 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 69,374,238 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (62,634) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (106,465,525) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 336,683,661 ============================================================= Total net assets $ 301,651,602 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $25,820. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and retirement plan expenses. The Fund utilized $6,383,607 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2005 $ 1,015,513 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2006 342,962 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2007 1,051,669 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 58,166,120 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 45,889,261 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $106,465,525 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $197,071,060 and $213,093,076, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $72,128,655 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (2,780,237) ============================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $69,348,418 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $258,562,423.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $310,522, undistributed net realized gains (losses) decreased by $310,522. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I. International Growth Fund, formerly AIM V.I. International Equity Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2003, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. International Growth Fund as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund commenced operations August 29, 2003. The Fund's primary investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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 AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 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. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.75% of the first $1 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.70% of the next $1 billion, plus 0.625% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30% through December 31, 2003. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $2,683 and reimbursed expenses of $44,604. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $17,790 for such services, of which AIM retained $17,123 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, AISI retained no fees for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $269 after AIM Distributors waived plan fees of $178. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expense under expense offset arrangements are comprised of custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in custodian fees of $98 under an expense offset arrangement, which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $98. NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $624 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 6--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003 was as follows:
2003 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $1,305 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 106,516 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Temporary book/tax differences (1,131) - ------------------------------------------------------------ Capital loss carryforward (5,215) - ------------------------------------------------------------ Post-October capital loss deferral (7,079) - ------------------------------------------------------------ Shares of beneficial interest 998,284 ============================================================ Total net assets $1,091,375 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 $5,215 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003 was $1,337,392 and $373,996, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ----------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $110,114 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (3,598) =========================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $106,516 ___________________________________________________________ =========================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $951,090.
NOTE 8--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of stock issuance costs on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $3,041 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $3,041. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND NOTE 9--SHARE INFORMATION

NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Your Fund's investment advisor, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2003, the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period August 29, 2003 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2003. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period August 29, 2003 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise stated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.725% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets on the next $500 million, plus 0.675% of the Fund's average daily net assets on the next $500 million, plus 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30% through December 31, 2003. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $5,000. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the participants of separate accounts and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $447,630 for such services, of which AIM retained $50,000 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $10,522 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid 5,236. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in custodian fees of $161 under an expense offset arrangement which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $161. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,878 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
2003 2002 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Distributions paid from ordinary income $1,677,225 $-- ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================
Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income $ 242,829 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 38,545,543 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (8,728) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 259,256,338 ============================================================= Total net assets $298,035,982 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. NOTE 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $196,482,686 and $49,599,546, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $39,267,871 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (722,328) ============================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $38,545,543 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $271,773,250.

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to seek to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- The Fund's securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates market value as permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts. B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including the Fund's pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by the Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Eligible securities for collateral are U.S. Government Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities and/or Investment Grade Debt Securities. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of Investment Grade Debt Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements 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"). C. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. The Fund 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. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- It is the policy of the Fund to declare and pay daily dividends from net investment income. Distributions from net realized capital gains, 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, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.40% on the first $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued at any time without further notice to investors. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $234,416 for such services, of which AIM retained $50,000 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $4,870 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $10,355. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,805 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 4--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points.

(c) Annualized. NOTE 8--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Your Fund's investment advisor, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND NOTE 8--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I.

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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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, as such, AIM V.I. NEW TECHNOLOGY FUND will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 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. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. COVERED CALL OPTIONS -- The Fund may write call options, on a covered basis; that is, the Fund will own the underlying security. When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. The current market value of a written option is the mean between the last bid and asked prices on that day. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. H. PUT OPTIONS -- The Fund may purchase put options. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option's underlying instrument may be a security or a futures contract. Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund's resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the securities hedged. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold. I. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets. AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and /or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30% through December 31, 2004. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $111,355. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $90,109 for such services, of which AIM retained $50,000 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $7,274 for such services. AIM V.I. NEW TECHNOLOGY FUND The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $103 after AIM Distributors waived Plan fees of $68. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash and/or cash collateral received from securities lending transactions. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

* Dividend income is net of fees paid to the security lending counterparties of $1,743. NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agency fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $1 and reductions in custodian fees of $2 under expense offset arrangements which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $3. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,600 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and AIM V.I. NEW TECHNOLOGY FUND Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities to the extent of one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2003, securities with an aggregate value of $1,657,153 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $1,691,488 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral net of fees paid to counterparties of $29,410 for securities lending transactions.

NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 3,390,016 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (21,413) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (50,350,172) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October foreign currency loss deferral (252) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 67,555,385 ================================================================================ Total net assets $20,573,564 ________________________________________________________________________________ ================================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the deferral for tax purposes on certain straddle transactions and the tax treatment of foreign tax on certain stock dividends. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $41,103,653 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 9,246,519 ================================================================================ Total capital loss carryforward $50,350,172 ________________________________________________________________________________ ================================================================================
AIM V.I. NEW TECHNOLOGY FUND NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $21,399,271 and $22,007,903, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $3,584,034 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (194,018) ============================================================ Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $3,390,016 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================ Cost of investments for tax purposes is $18,895,410.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $166,149, undistributed net realized gains increased by $252 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $166,401. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of AIM V.I. NEW TECHNOLOGY FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. NOTE 15--SIGNIFICANT EVENTS On December 9, 2003, the Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") under which all of the assets of the Fund will be transferred to INVESCO VIF-Technology Fund ("Buying Fund"), an investment portfolio of INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("Buyer"). The Buyer will issue shares of each class of the Buying Fund to shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the Fund. The Plan requires approval of the Fund's shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a special meeting to be held on March 26, 2004. If the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Fund and certain conditions required by the Plan are satisfied, the transaction is expected to become effective on or about April 30, 2004. AIM V.I.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Premier 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund's primary investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital. Income is a secondary objective. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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, as such, AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 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. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. COVERED CALL OPTIONS -- The Fund may write call options, on a covered basis; that is, the Fund will own the underlying security. When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. The current market value of a written option is the mean between the last bid and asked prices on that day. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. H. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as a hedge against changes in market conditions. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are made or received depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. If the fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the future contracts. I. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.65% of the first $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30%. Voluntary expense limitations may be modified or discontinued at any time without further notice to investors. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). For the year ended December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $28,785. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $3,647,783 of which AIM retained $368,429 for services provided by AIM. AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2003, AISI retained $59,580 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $39,012. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC and approved procedures by the Board of Trustees to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. Each day the prior day's balance invested in the affiliated money market fund is redeemed in full and a new purchase amount is submitted to invest the current day's available cash and/or cash collateral received from securities lending transactions. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the period ended December 31, 2003.

* Dividend income is net of fees paid to the security lending agent(s) of $30,236. NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of transfer agency credits resulting from Demand Deposit Account (DDA) balances in transfer agency clearing accounts and custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in transfer agency fees from AISI (an affiliate of AIM) of $5 and reductions in custodian fees of $273 under expense offset arrangements which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $278. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $7,926 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. Effective June 26, 2003, the Fund became a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the reporting period, the Fund was a participant in a committed credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A. The Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which were parties to the credit facility could borrow on a first come, first served basis. The funds which were party to the credit facility were charged a commitment fee of 0.09% on the unused balance of the committed line. The commitment fee was allocated among the funds based on their respective average net assets for the period. The committed credit facility expired May 20, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under either the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility or the committed credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities to the extent of one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2003, securities with an aggregate value of $41,921,760 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $43,116,875 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral net of fees paid to counterparties of $733 for securities lending transactions. NOTE 8--OPTION CONTRACTS WRITTEN

NOTE 10--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
2003 2002 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from Ordinary income $4,886,173 $6,234,450 _______________________________________________________________ ===============================================================
AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income $ 7,680,064 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 206,702,998 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (126,578) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (819,552,770) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (21,351) - ------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 2,376,692,742 ============================================================= Total net assets $1,771,375,105 _____________________________________________________________ =============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the tax recognition of unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $3,319. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation and trustee retirement plan expenses. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $250,136,976 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 412,231,328 - ----------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 157,184,466 =========================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $819,552,770 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
NOTE 11--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $724,974,919 and $765,332,804, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $251,372,459 - ------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (44,672,780) ============================================================= Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $206,699,679 _____________________________________________________________ ============================================================= Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,608,024,159.
NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $17,764 and undistributed net realized gains increased by $17,764. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I.

("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 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 separate portfolios. 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. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio 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 portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. The Fund commenced operations on August 29, 2003. The Fund's primary investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital. Each company listed in the Schedule of Investments is organized in the United States of America unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System) is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods are valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are questionable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally will be valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If a development/event is so significant such that there is a reasonably high degree of certainty as to both the effect and the degree of effect that the development/event has actually caused that closing price to no longer reflect actual value, the closing prices, as determined at the close of the applicable foreign market, may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures and exchange-traded funds. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 gains, 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 AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) which is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. Any capital loss carryforwards listed are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities 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 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. F. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. G. 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. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund's average daily net assets. AIM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I and Series II shares to the extent necessary to limit the expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any, interest, taxes, fund merger and reorganization expenses, extraordinary items, including other items designated as such by the Board of Trustees and increases in expenses due to expense offset arrangements, if any) of each Series to 1.30% through December 31, 2003. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, AIM waived fees of $3,921 and reimbursed expenses of $49,325. Pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, the Fund has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and certain administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide administrative services to the participants of separate accounts. For the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, the Fund paid AIM $18,048 for such services, of which AIM retained $17,123 for services provided by AIM. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI"), formerly known as A I M Fund Services, Inc., a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund. During the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, AISI retained $108 for such services. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the 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 Distributors compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of this amount, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. AIM Distributors has agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total expenses of Series II shares to 1.45%. Pursuant to the Plan, for the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, the Series II shares paid $273 after AIM Distributors waived Plan fees of $181. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers of AIM, AISI and/or AIM Distributors. NOTE 3--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS Indirect expenses under expense offset arrangements are comprised of custodian credits resulting from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, the Fund received reductions in custodian fees of $95 under an expense offset arrangement which resulted in a reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $95. NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' FEES Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to each Trustee of the Trust who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust. The Trustees deferring compensation have the option to select various AIM and INVESCO Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND Current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees that also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. During the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003, the Fund paid legal fees of $624 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--BORROWINGS The Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. Under certain circumstances, a loan will be secured by collateral. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank. In either case, the custodian bank will be compensated an amount equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 100 basis points. NOTE 6--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS Distributions to Shareholders: The tax character of distributions paid during the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003 was as follows:
2003 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $2,032 ___________________________________________________________ ===========================================================
Tax Components of Net Assets: As of December 31, 2003, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income $ 806 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Unrealized appreciation -- investments 191,890 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Temporary book/tax differences (1,131) - ------------------------------------------------------------ Post-October capital loss deferral (2,445) - ------------------------------------------------------------ Post-October currency loss deferral (18) - ------------------------------------------------------------ Shares of beneficial interest 2,611,190 ============================================================ Total net assets $2,800,292 ____________________________________________________________ ============================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $10. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the deferral of trustee compensation. NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the period August 29, 2003 (date operations commenced) through December 31, 2003 was $2,741,525 and $375,905, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ----------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $211,421 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (19,541) =========================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $191,880 ___________________________________________________________ =========================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $2,811,358.
NOTE 8--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of nondeductible stock issuance costs and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2003, undistributed net investment income was increased by $2,750, undistributed net realized gains increased by $38 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $2,788. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND NOTE 9--SHARE INFORMATION

NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Your Fund's investment advisor, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"). Another indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), was formerly the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds. IFG continues to serve as the investment advisor to INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. ("IVIF"). On November 25, 2003, AIM succeeded IFG as the investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds other than IVIF. The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to a wide range of inquiries and litigation related to issues of "market timing" and "late trading." Both AIM and IFG are the subject of a number of such inquiries, as described below. A. Regulatory Inquiries and Actions 1. IFG On December 2, 2003 each of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("NYAG") filed civil proceedings against IFG and Raymond R. Cunningham, in his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of IFG. Mr. Cunningham currently holds the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. In addition, on December 2, 2003, the State of Colorado filed civil proceedings against IFG. Neither the Fund nor any of the other AIM or INVESCO Funds has been named as a defendant in any of these proceedings. The SEC complaint alleges that IFG failed to disclose in the INVESCO Funds' prospectuses and to the INVESCO Funds' independent directors that IFG had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the INVESCO Funds. The SEC is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from serving as an investment advisor, officer or director of an investment company; an accounting of all market timing as well as certain fees and compensation received; disgorgement; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The NYAG and Colorado complaints make substantially similar allegations. The NYAG is seeking injunctions, including permanent injunctions from directly or indirectly selling or distributing shares of mutual funds; disgorgement of all profits obtained, including fees collected, and payment of all restitution and damages caused, directly or indirectly from the alleged illegal activities; civil monetary penalties; and other relief. The State of Colorado is seeking injunctions; restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief, civil monetary penalties; and other relief. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) In addition, IFG has received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing and related issues concerning the INVESCO Funds. These regulators include the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. IFG has also received more limited inquiries concerning related matters from the United States Department of Labor, NASD, Inc., and the SEC. IFG is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 2. AIM AIM has also received inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information from various regulators concerning market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, and related issues concerning the AIM Funds. AIM has received requests for information and documents concerning these and related matters from the SEC and the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. In addition, AIM has received subpoenas concerning these and related matters from the NYAG, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Georgia, the Office of the State Auditor for the State of West Virginia, and the Office of the Secretary of State for West Virginia. AIM has also received more limited inquiries from the SEC and NASD, Inc. concerning specific funds, entities and/or individuals, none of which directly bears upon the Fund. AIM is providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. 3. AMVESCAP Response AMVESCAP is seeking to resolve both the pending regulatory complaints against IFG alleging market timing and the ongoing market timing investigations with respect to IFG and AIM. AMVESCAP recently found, in its ongoing review of these matters, that shareholders were not always effectively protected from the potential adverse impact of market timing and illegal late trading through intermediaries. These findings were based, in part, on an extensive economic analysis by outside experts who have been retained by AMVESCAP to examine the impact of these activities. In light of these findings, AMVESCAP has publicly stated that any AIM or INVESCO Fund, or any shareholders thereof, harmed by these activities will receive full restitution. AMVESCAP has informed regulators of these findings. In addition, AMVESCAP has retained outside counsel to undertake a comprehensive review of AIM's and IFG's policies, procedures and practices, with the objective that they rank among the most effective in the fund industry. There can be no assurance that AMVESCAP will be able to reach a satisfactory settlement with the regulators, or that any such settlement will not include terms which would have the effect of barring either or both of IFG and AIM, or any other investment advisor directly or indirectly owned by AMVESCAP, from serving as an investment advisor to any registered investment company including the Fund. The Fund has been informed by AIM that, if either of these results occurs, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There can be no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. Any settlement with the regulators could also include terms which would bar Mr. Cunningham from serving as an officer or director of any registered investment company. B. Private Actions In addition to the complaints described above, multiple lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, A I M Management Group Inc., the parent of AIM, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and certain of their officers, including Mr. Cunningham). The allegations in the majority of the lawsuits are substantially similar to the allegations in the regulatory complaints against IFG described above. Certain other lawsuits allege that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) breach of contract. The lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements with AIM; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. IFG has removed certain of the state court proceedings to Federal District Court. At a hearing before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation concerning the most efficient way to manage the numerous lawsuits alleging market timing in mutual funds throughout the industry, IFG and AIM supported transfer of all cases pending against them to one district for consolidated proceedings. The Panel has not issued a ruling. Additional lawsuits or regulatory actions arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Fund, IFG, AIM, AMVESCAP and related entities and individuals in the future. As a result of these developments, investors in the AIM and INVESCO Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the Funds. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the matters described above may have on the Fund or AIM. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees AIM Variable Insurance Funds We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest of AIM Variable Insurance Funds, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2003, the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period August 29, 2003 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2003. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Small Cap Growth Fund as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period August 29, 2003 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TWB billed AIM and AIM Affiliates aggregate non-audit fees of $0 for the fiscal year ended 2003, and $0 for the fiscal year ended 2002, for non-audit services rendered to AIM and AIM Affiliates. The Audit Committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to AIM, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with INVESCO that provides ongoing services to the Trust ("AIM Affiliates"), that were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to SEC regulations is compatible with maintaining TWB's independence. The Audit Committee determined that the provision of such services is compatible with TWB maintaining independence with respect the Trust. - --------- (1) Prior to May 6, 2003, the Trust's Audit Committee was not required to pre-approve non-audit services. Therefore, the fees billed for non-audit services shown in this column only represents fees for pre-approved non-audit services rendered after May 6, 2003, to AIM and AIM Affiliates. (2) Prior to May 6, 2003, the Trust's Audit Committee was not required to pre-approve non-audit services. Therefore, the percentage of fees shown in this column only represents fees billed for non-audit services rendered after May 6, 2003, pursuant to a waiver of the pre-approval requirement. (3) With respect to the provision of non-audit services, the pre-approval requirement is waived pursuant to a de minimis exception if (i) such services were not recognized as non-audit services by the Trust at the time of engagement, (ii) the aggregate amount of all such services provided is no more than 5% of the aggregate audit and non-audit fees billed to the Trust during a fiscal year; and (iii) such services are promptly approved by the Trust's Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee. PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES As adopted by the Audit Committees of the AIM Funds and the INVESCO Funds (the "Funds") AMENDED NOVEMBER 6, 2003 I. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") ("Rules"), the Audit Committees of the Funds' (the "Audit Committee") Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") are responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of independent accountants (an "Auditor"). As part of this responsibility and to assure that the Auditor's independence is not impaired, the Audit Committee pre-approves the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by the Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Funds' investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds 2 ("Service Affiliates") if the services directly impact the Funds' operations or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations. Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee ("general pre-approval") or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee ("specific pre-approval"). As set forth in these policies and procedures, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Additionally, any proposed services exceeding general pre-approved cost levels or established amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval through September 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities. II. DELEGATION The Audit Committee may from time to time delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members who are Independent Directors. All decisions to pre-approve a service by a delegated member shall be reported to the Audit Committee at its next-scheduled meeting. III. AUDIT SERVICES The annual audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds' financial statements. The Audit Committee will obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor's qualifications and independence. In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include services such as issuing consents for the inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings. IV. GENERAL PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES The Audit Committee may provide general pre-approval of types of non-audit services described in this Section IV to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Committee believes that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SEC's Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committee's general principles and policies as set forth herein. AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES "Audit-related services" are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund's financial statements or that are traditionally performed by 3 the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as "Audit services"; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; and agreed-upon procedures related to mergers. TAX SERVICES "Tax services" include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds' federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committee will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy. ALL OTHER SERVICES The Audit Committee may pre-approve non-audit services classified as "All other services" that are not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy. V. SPECIFIC PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES The Audit Committee may provide specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committee believes that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the auditor, is consistent with the SEC Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committees' general principles and policies as set forth herein. VI. PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS OR ESTABLISHED AMOUNTS Pre-approval fee levels or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general pre-approval policies will be set annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will always factor in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services. VII. PROCEDURES On an annual basis, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") will submit to the Audit Committee for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees where possible and such other information as the Audit Committee may request. Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed at the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting of any such services rendered by the Auditor. Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee shall be submitted to the Audit Committee jointly by the Fund's Treasurer or his or her designee and the Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with the policies and procedures and the SEC Rules. 4 Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee for approval, including documentation that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied. On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any entity in the investment Company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services. The Audit Committee has designated the Funds' Treasurer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies and procedures. The Funds' Treasurer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis as to the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds' Treasurer and management of AIM will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of these policies and procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds' Treasurer or senior management of AIM. EXHIBIT 1 CONDITIONALLY PROHIBITED NON-AUDIT SERVICES (NOT PROHIBITED IF THE FUND CAN REASONABLY CONCLUDE THAT THE RESULTS OF THE SERVICE WOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO AUDIT PROCEDURES IN CONNECTION WITH THE AUDIT OF THE FUND'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS) o Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the audit client o Financial information systems design and implementation o Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports o Actuarial services o Internal audit outsourcing services CATEGORICALLY PROHIBITED NON-AUDIT SERVICES o Management functions o Human resources o Broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services o Legal services o Expert services unrelated to the audit o Any other service that the Public Company Oversight Board determines by regulation is impermissible ITEM 5.

ITEM 8. [RESERVED] ITEM 9. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. (a) As of December 18, 2003, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the officers of INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. (the "Registrant"), including the Principal Executive Officer (PEO") and Principal Financial Officer ("PFO"), to 5 assess the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures, as that term in defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Registrant's officers, including the PEO and PFO, concluded that, as of December 18, 2003, the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably designed so as to ensure: (1) that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant on Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (2) that material information relating to the Registrant is made known to the PEO and PFO as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) There have been no changes in the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Act) that occurred during the Registrant's last fiscal half-year (the Registrant's second fiscal half-year in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting. However, changes in certain other controls involving fair value pricing have been implemented which could affect the Registrant. ITEM 10. EXHIBITS. CODE OF ETHICS FOR SENIOR OFFICERS.

EX-99.CODE ETH 3 h11779exv99wcodeeth.txt CODE OF ETHICS Item 10(a)(1) THE AIM FAMILY OF FUNDS CODE OF ETHICS FOR SENIOR OFFICERS I. INTRODUCTION The Boards of Directors/Trustees ("Board") of The AIM Family of Funds (the "Companies") have adopted this code of ethics (this "Code") applicable to their Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer (the "Covered Officers") to promote: o honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; o full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications; o compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; o the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and o accountability for adherence to the Code. II. COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD ACT HONESTLY AND CANDIDLY Each Covered Officer named in Exhibit A to this Code owes a duty to the Companies to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Deceit and subordination of principle are inconsistent with integrity. Each Covered Officer must: o act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information where required by law or the Companies' policies; o observe both the form and spirit of laws and governmental rules and regulations, accounting standards and policies of the Companies; o adhere to a high standard of business ethics; and o place the interests of the Companies before the Covered Officer's own personal interests. Business practices Covered Officers should be guided by and adhere to these fiduciary standards. III. COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD HANDLE ETHICALLY ACTUAL AND APPARENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST GUIDING PRINCIPLES. A "conflict of interest" occurs when an individual's private interest interferes with the interests of the Companies. A conflict of interest can arise when a Covered Officer takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Companies objectively and effectively. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member or his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in any of the Companies. In addition, investment companies should be sensitive to situations that create apparent, but not actual, conflicts of interest. Service to the Companies should never be subordinated to personal gain and advantage. Certain conflicts of interest covered by this Code arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Companies that already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Companies because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Companies. Therefore, as to the existing statutory and regulatory prohibitions on individual behavior, they will be deemed to be incorporated in this Code and therefore any material violation will also be deemed a violation of this Code. Covered Officers must in all cases comply with applicable statutes and regulations. As to conflicts arising from, or as a result of the contractual relationship between, the Companies and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees, it is recognized by the Board that, subject to the adviser's fiduciary duties to the Companies, the Covered Officers will in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Companies or for the adviser, or for both) be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on the adviser and the Companies. The Board recognizes that the participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Companies and the adviser and is consistent with the expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Companies. In addition, it is recognized by the Board that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of other investment companies advised by the same adviser and the codes which apply to senior officers of those investment companies will apply to the Covered Officers acting in those distinct capacities. Each Covered Officer must: o avoid conflicts of interest wherever possible; o handle any actual or apparent conflict of interest ethically; o not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by an investment company whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of any of the Companies; o not cause an investment company to take action, or fail to take action, for the personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of such company; o not use knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for an investment company to profit or cause others to profit, by the market effect of such transactions; and o as described in more detail below, discuss any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest with the Chief Legal Officer of the AIM Funds (the "Chief Legal Officer"). Some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed with the Chief Legal Officer, if material, include the following: o any outside business activity that detracts from an individual's ability to devote appropriate time and attention to his or her responsibilities with the Companies; o being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay or benefit of any immediate family member; o any direct ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Companies' service providers, other than its investment adviser, distributor or other AMVESCAP affiliated entities and other than a de minimis ownership interest (for purposes of this section of the Code an ownership interest of 1% or less shall constitute a de minimis ownership interest, and an ownership interest of more than 1% creates a rebuttable presumption that there may be a material conflict of interest); and o a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Companies for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares, other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment with AIM, its subsidiaries, its parent organizations and any affiliates or subsidiaries thereof, such as compensation or equity ownership, and other than an interest arising from a de minimis ownership interest in a company with which the Companies execute portfolios transactions or a company that receives commissions or other fees related to its sales and redemptions of shares of the Companies (for purposes of this section of the Code an ownership interest of 1% or less shall constitute a de minimis ownership interest, and an ownership interest of more than 1% creates a rebuttable presumption that there may be a material conflict of interest). IV. DISCLOSURE Each Covered Officer is required to be familiar, and comply, with the Companies' disclosure controls and procedures so that the Companies' subject reports and documents filed with the SEC comply in all material respects with the applicable federal securities laws and SEC rules. In addition, each Covered Officer having direct or supervisory authority regarding these SEC filings or the Companies' other public communications should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Companies and take other appropriate steps regarding these disclosures with the goal of making full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure. Each Covered Officer must: o familiarize himself/herself with the disclosure requirements applicable to the Companies as well as the business and financial operations of the Companies; and o not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Companies to others, whether within or outside the Companies, including representations to the Companies' internal auditors, independent Directors/Trustees, independent auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations. V. COMPLIANCE It is the Companies' policy to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. It is the personal responsibility of each Covered Officer to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by those laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to affiliated transactions, accounting and auditing matters. VI. REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY Each Covered Officer must: o upon receipt of the Code, sign and submit to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Companies an acknowledgement stating that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code. o annually thereafter submit a form to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Companies confirming that he or she has received, read and understands the Code and has complied with the requirements of the Code. o not retaliate against any employee or other Covered Officer for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith. o notify the Chief Legal Officer promptly if he becomes aware of any existing or potential violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code. Except as described otherwise below, the Chief Legal Officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented to him or her and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. The Chief Legal Officer shall take all action he or she considers appropriate to investigate any actual or potential violations reported to him or her. The Chief Legal Officer is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with the Chairman of the Audit Committees of the Board, counsel to the Companies and counsel to the independent Directors/Trustees, and is encouraged to do so. The Chief Legal Officer is responsible for granting waivers and determining sanctions, as appropriate. In addition, approvals, interpretations, or waivers sought by the Covered Officers may also be considered by the Chairman of the AIM Funds Audit Committees. The Companies will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code, and in reporting on the Code: o the Chief Legal Officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any violations reported to him or her; o violations and potential violations will be reported to the Chairman of the Audit Committees of the Board after such investigation; o if the Chairman of the Audit Committees determines that a violation has occurred, he or she will inform the Board, which will take all appropriate disciplinary or preventive action; o appropriate disciplinary or preventive action may include a letter of censure, suspension, dismissal or, in the event of criminal or other serious violations of law, notification to the SEC or other appropriate law enforcement authorities; o the Chief Legal Officer will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and o any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed on Form N-CSR as provided by SEC rules. VII. OTHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES The Companies' and the Advisers' and Principal Underwriters' codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the Advisers' more detailed policies and procedures set forth in its Compliance and Supervisory Procedures Manual are separate requirements applying to Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code. VIII. AMENDMENTS This Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved by a majority vote of the Companies' Board, including a majority of independent Directors/Trustees. IX. CONFIDENTIALITY All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code shall be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the members of the Companies' Board, counsel to the Companies, and counsel to the independent Directors/Trustees.
