Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. 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. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $150 million 0.80% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $150 million 0.625% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND Through December 31, 2009, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $150 million 0.75% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $4.85 billion 0.625% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $5 billion 0.60% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.575% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
AIM has also contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $76,620. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $351,667 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $10,163. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $15,317. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH 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. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $2,789,783 and sales of $6,996,835, which resulted in net realized gains of $535,667. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $484. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,482 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon.

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, 2005 and 2004. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 14,060,518 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (35,224) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (23,962,087) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (445,354) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 158,191,817 ============================================================================ Total net assets $147,809,670 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $14,347,753 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:

* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH 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, 2005 was $251,112,428 and $261,449,556, respectively.

NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $400,454 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $400,454. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND NOTE 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENT The Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously approved, on November 14, 2005, a Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund, would transfer all of its assets to AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund ("Buying Fund"), a series of the Trust (the "Reorganization"). Upon closing of the Reorganization, shareholders of the Fund will receive a corresponding class of shares of Buying Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund, and the Fund will cease operations. The Plan of Reorganization requires approval of the Fund's shareholders. The Fund currently intends to submit the Plan of Reorganization to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held on or around April 4, 2006. Additional information regarding the Plan of Reorganization will be included in proxy materials to be mailed to shareholders for consideration. If the Plan of Reorganization is approved by the shareholders of the Fund and certain conditions required by the Plan of Reorganization are satisfied, the Reorganization is expected to become effective on or around May 1, 2006. NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Aggressive Growth Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Aggressive Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. As described in Note 13, the Board of Trustees has approved a plan of reorganization under which the Fund will merge with AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund. This merger is expected to take place following the approval by the Fund's shareholders, at which time the Fund will cease to operate. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 fiscal year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund, formerly 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 and current income. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures.

BASIC BALANCED FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. 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 purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, fee income is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll. This fee income is amortized to income ratably over the term of the dollar roll. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll, it will segregate liquid assets having a dollar value equal to the purchase 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 purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed transaction costs. H. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND 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. I. 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. 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 account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in 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. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $150 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $150 million 0.50% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Through December 31, 2009, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $150 million 0.62% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $4.85 billion 0.50% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $5 billion 0.475% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.45% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Effective July 1, 2005, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.91% and Series II shares to 1.16% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. Prior to July 1, 2005, AIM and/or the distributor had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $199,504. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $205,807 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $8,854. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $14,086. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $307,006 and sales of $11,134, which resulted in net realized gains of $6,230. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,269 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. 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 AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 7--FUTURES CONTRACTS On December 31, 2005, $810,000 principal amount of U.S. Treasury Securities and corporate 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: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $1,381,672 $1,463,198 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 1,691,158 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 8,609,353 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (33,483) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (20,724,034) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 106,960,210 ============================================================================ Total net assets $ 96,503,204 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on certain future contracts and the treatment of defaulted bonds. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount included appreciation on remaining proceeds to be received on Candescent Technologies Corp. of $2,936. AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $2,277,500 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $ 4,507,081 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 16,216,953 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $20,724,034 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $40,903,732 and $48,131,744, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $11,257,314 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (2,650,897) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 8,606,417 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $96,061,277.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of bond premium amortization, treatment of partnerships, paydowns on mortgage backed securities and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was increased by $48,116 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $48,116. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are five entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they owns 84% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND NOTE 12--FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The following schedule presents financial highlights for a share of the Fund outstanding throughout the periods indicated.

(a) Calculated using average shares outstanding. (b) As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premiums on debt securities. Had the Fund not amortized premiums on debt securities, the net investment income per share would have been $0.29 and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been 2.52%. (c) Included adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions.

BASIC BALANCED FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments.

BASIC BALANCED FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. BASIC BALANCED FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 59.36% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. REQUIRED STATE INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of the ordinary dividends paid, 2.51% was derived from U.S. Treasury Obligations. AIM V.I.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE 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 based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:

Through December 31, 2009, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:

AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $404,786. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $203,374 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $2,067,887 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $29,360. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $884,933. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $1,379,341 and sales of $762,900, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(30,198). NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $7,054 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. 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, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 4,240,393 $ -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 5,762,791 -- ================================================================================== Total distributions $10,003,184 $ -- __________________________________________________________________________________ ==================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 4,470,762 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 32,753,451 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation-investments 173,272,783 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (38,695) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (54,150) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 640,321,177 ========================================================================== Total net assets $850,725,328 __________________________________________________________________________ ==========================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $232. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005. 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, 2005 was $128,561,668 and $171,756,966, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 201,517,697 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (28,245,146) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 173,272,551 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $665,865,581.
NOTE 9--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $141,154 and undistributed net realized gain was increased by $141,154. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND NOTE 10--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are six entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 69% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund.. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these shareholders are also owned beneficially. (b) As of the opening of business on May 3, 2004, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of LSA Basic Value Fund, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved the Trustees of the Fund on December 10, 2003 and by LSA Basic Value Fund shareholders on March 26, 2004. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 2,495,812 shares of the Fund for 2,644,386 shares of LSA Basic Value Fund outstanding as of the close of business on April 30, 2004. LSA Basic Value Fund's net assets at that date of $27,079,556, including $3,492,199 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the Fund. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $657,224,099. AIM V.I.

NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments.

BASIC VALUE FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. BASIC VALUE FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 100% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. For its tax year ended December 31, 2005, the fund designates $5,762,791 as long term capital gain dividend. AIM V.I.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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 account of the broker (the Fund's AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in 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. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $350 million 0.75% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $350 million 0.625% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Through December 31, 2009, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.695% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.67% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.645% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.62% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.57% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.545% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.52% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $122,565. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $300,680 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $8,334. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $3,495. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $1,182,182 and sales of $171,303, which resulted in net realized gains of $7,176. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $129. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,394 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon.

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, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $730,448 $134,718 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 240,402 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 16,346,589 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (25,455) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (19,802,645) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 127,605,820 ========================================================================== Total net assets $124,364,711 __________________________________________________________________________ ==========================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND The Fund utilized $929,472 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $ 4,477,804 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 11,780,141 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 3,544,700 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $19,802,645 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $93,316,190 and $104,778,962, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 18,200,229 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,853,640) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 16,346,589 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $108,168,476.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was increased by $3,277 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $(3,277). This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are 5 entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 92% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund's principle underwriter may have an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these shareholders are also owned beneficially. AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND NOTE 13--SIGNIFICANT EVENT The Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously approved, on November 14, 2005, a Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets to AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund ("Buying Fund"), a series of the Trust (the "Reorganization"). Upon closing of the Reorganization, shareholders of the Fund will receive a corresponding class of shares of Buying Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund, and the Fund will cease operations. The Plan of Reorganization requires approval of the Fund's shareholders. The Fund currently intends to submit the Plan of Reorganization to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held on or around April 4, 2006. Additional information regarding the Plan of Reorganization will be included in proxy materials to be mailed to shareholders for consideration. If the Plan of Reorganization is approved by the shareholders of the Fund and certain conditions required by the Plan of Reorganization are satisfied, the Reorganization is expected to become effective on or around May 1, 2006.

NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. As described in Note 13, the Board of Trustees has approved a plan of reorganization under which the Fund will merge with AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth. This merger is expected to take place following the approval by the Fund's shareholders, at which time the Fund will cease to operate. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. BLUE CHIP FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 fiscal year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year December 31, 2005, 100% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.

SOURCE: LIPPER, INC. Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, the space between $20,000 and $40,000 is the same as that between $40,000 and $80,000, and so on. 4 AIM V.I.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. 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 AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND 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. K. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------ First $250 million 0.65% ------------------------------------------------------------------ Over $250 million 0.60% _________________________________________________________________ ==================================================================
AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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). AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $8,070. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $252,350 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $2,408,429 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $43,487. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $562,106. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $10,336,225 and sales of $10,192,725, which resulted in net realized gains of $958,350. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $7,796 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND 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, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2005, securities with an aggregate value of $64,002,947 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $66,155,830 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral of $77,239 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 8--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $505,822 $ -- ________________________________________________________________________________ ================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Undistributed ordinary income $ 689,959 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unrealized appreciation -- investments 240,830,443 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Temporary book/tax differences (115,526) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Capital loss carryforward (315,979,214) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shares of beneficial interest 1,236,662,964 ============================================================================== Total net assets $1,162,088,626 ______________________________________________________________________________ ==============================================================================
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 deferral of losses on wash sales and certain straddles. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $14,575. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND The Fund utilized $97,991,994 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $103,221,919 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 156,444,344 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 56,312,951 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $315,979,214 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,029,636,052 and $998,129,657, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $251,413,149 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (10,597,281) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $240,815,868 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $981,974,550.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was increased by $66,549 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $66,549. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these shareholders are also owned beneficially. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTE 12--SIGNIFICANT EVENT The Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously approved, on November 14, 2005, Plans of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets of AIM V.I. Aggressive Growth Fund and AIM V.I. Growth Fund ("Selling Funds"), each series of the Trust (the "Reorganizations"). Upon closing of the Reorganizations, shareholders of Selling Funds will receive a corresponding class of shares of the Fund in exchange for their shares of Selling Funds, and Selling Funds will cease operations. The Plans of Reorganization require approval of each Selling Fund's shareholders, respectively. The Selling Funds currently intend to submit the Plans of Reorganization to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held on or around April 4, 2006. Additional information regarding the Plans of Reorganization will be included in proxy materials to be mailed to shareholders for consideration. If the Plans of Reorganization are approved by the shareholders of Selling Funds and certain conditions required by the Plans of Reorganization are satisfied, the Reorganizations are expected to become effective on or around May 1, 2006.

SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 fiscal year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 100% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. AIM V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS As of December 31, 2005 The address of each trustee and officer of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"), is 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77046.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. 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. J. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT 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 based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $350 million 0.75% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $350 million 0.625% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Through June 30, 2006, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.745% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.73% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.715% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.70% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.685% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.67% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.655% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.64% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
AIM has also contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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). AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $11,009. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $456,813 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $16,145. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Series II shares (the "Plan"). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $189,905. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $4,097,838 and sales of $1,771,046, which resulted in net realized gains of $68,488. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $1,358. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,614 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2005, securities with an aggregate value of $5,073,648 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $5,256,724 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral of $43,248 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: There were no ordinary income or long-term capital distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 261,257 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 4,111,967 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 39,347,840 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (35,292) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 157,376,890 ============================================================================ Total net assets $201,062,662 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and tax straddles. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $42. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $11,098,243 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005. 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, 2005 was $229,896,746 and $230,374,001, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $42,332,722 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (2,984,924) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $39,347,798 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $166,699,111.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $615,650, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $615,650. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 fiscal year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. 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 AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND 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. K. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE --------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.65% --------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.60% ____________________________________________________________________ =====================================================================
AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any (ii) interest; (iii) taxes; (iv) dividend expense on short sales; (v) extraordinary items; (vi) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vii) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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). AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $24,520. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $322,726 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $3,232,959 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $24,048. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $9,800. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated.

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $15,583,781 and sales of $7,413,198, which resulted in net realized gains of $689,175. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $9,349 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND 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, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2005, there were no securities on loan to brokers. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral of $89,868 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties.

NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $18,799,586 $14,214,537 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================
AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 14,723,880 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 113,818,377 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (158,239) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (187,377,082) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (101,488) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 1,309,481,431 ============================================================================ Total net assets $1,250,386,879 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and defaulted bonds. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(635), option contracts written of $(1,241,093) and excludes remaining proceeds to be received on Candescent Technologies Corp. of $99,107. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $108,878,170 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $166,159,229 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 21,217,853 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $187,377,082 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $652,762,057 and $835,881,817 respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 154,752,131 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (39,791,133) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 114,960,998 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,137,835,718.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $9,393 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $9,393. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are four entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 78% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund.. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. NOTE 13--SIGNIFICANT EVENT The Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously approved, on November 14, 2005 and December 7, 2005, for AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund and AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund ("Selling Funds"), respectively, Plans of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets of the Selling Funds, each a series of the Trust (the "Reorganizations"). Upon closing of the Reorganizations, shareholders of Selling Funds will receive a corresponding class of shares of the Fund in exchange for their shares of the Selling Funds, and the Selling Funds will cease operations. The Plans of Reorganization requires approval of each of the Selling Funds' shareholders. The Selling Funds currently intend to submit the Plans of Reorganization to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held on or around April 4, 2006. Additional information regarding the Plans of Reorgasnization will be included in proxy materials to be mailed to shareholders for consideration. If the Plans of Reorganization are approved by the shareholders of Selling Funds and certain conditions required by the Plans of Reorganization are satisfied, the Reorganizations are expected to become effective on or around May 1, 2006.

CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. CORE EQUITY FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 fiscal year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURE REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 100% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. AIM V.I.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, the space between $10,000 and $20,000 is the same as that between $20,000 and $40,000, and so on.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Core Stock 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 a high total return through both growth and current income. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. AIM V.I. CORE STOCK FUND Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. AIM V.I. CORE STOCK FUND 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. 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. K. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Through December 31, 2009, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------- First $250 million 0.695% ------------------------- Next $250 million 0.67% ------------------------- Next $500 million 0.645% ------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.62% ------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% ------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.57% ------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.545% ------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.52% -------------------------
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between AIM and INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. ("INVESCO"), AIM paid INVESCO 40% of the amount paid by the Fund to AIM. Effective June 1, 2005, the sub-advisory agreement between AIM and INVESCO was terminated. Effective July 1, 2005, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.91% and Series II shares to 1.16% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. Prior to July 1, 2005, AIM and/or the distributor had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $142,926. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, AIM V.I. CORE STOCK FUND financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $214,580 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $7,556. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $27. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of AIM, AISI, INVESCO and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market fund below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments an affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $195,346 and sales of $247,325, which resulted in net realized gains of $24,609. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,234 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon.

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, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 --------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $360,716 $822,773 ---------------------------------------------------------
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 611,024 ------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation--investments 2,053,542 ------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (12,939) ------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (2,860,240) ------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (121,928) ------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (6,710) ------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 84,072,520 ------------------------------------------------- Total net assets $83,735,269 -------------------------------------------------
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(42) and option contracts written of $(81,913). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $7,257,948 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ------------------------------- December 31, 2010 $2,860,240 -------------------------------
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. AIM V.I. CORE STOCK FUND 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, 2005 was $101,355,658 and $116,621,009, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 4,570,766 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (2,435,269) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 2,135,497 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments for tax purposes is $81,779,581.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and return of capital on securities sold , on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $46,808, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $46,806 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $2. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

/(a)/There are four entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 85% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. /(b)/Series II shares commenced sales on April 30, 2004. NOTE 12--SIGNIFICANT EVENT The Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously approved, on December 7, 2005, a Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets to AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund ("Buying Fund"), a series of the Trust (the "Reorganization"). Upon closing of the Reorganization, shareholders of the Fund will receive a corresponding class of shares of Buying Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund, and the Fund will cease operations. The Plan of Reorganization requires approval of the Fund's shareholders. The Fund currently intends to submit the Plan of Reorganization to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held on or around April 4, 2006. Additional information regarding the Plan of Reorganization will be included in proxy materials to be mailed to shareholders for consideration. If the Plan of Reorganization is approved by the shareholders of the Fund and certain conditions required by the Plan of Reorganization are satisfied, the Reorganization is expected to become effective on or around May 1, 2006.

CORE STOCK FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code (S) 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: . that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; . that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; . that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and . that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. AIM V.I. CORE STOCK FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. CORE STOCK FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in Note 12, the Board of Trustees has approved a plan of reorganization under which the Fund will merge with AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund. This merger is expected to take place following the approval by the Fund's shareholders, at which time the Fund will cease to operate. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Demographic Trends Fund, formerly 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from, (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. 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 AIM V.I. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND 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. K. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $2 billion 0.77% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $2 billion 0.72% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Through December 31, 2009, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund based on the Fund's average daily net assets do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.695% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.67% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.645% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.62% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.57% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.545% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.52% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between AIM and H.S. Dent Advisors, Inc. ("H.S. Dent"), AIM paid H.S. Dent a sub-advisory fee at the annual rate of 6.49% of the net management fee of the Fund, however, no sub-advisory fee shall be due with respect to the Fund if the net assets of the Fund fall below $50 million. The sub-advisory agreement between AIM and H.S. Dent expired on June 30, 2005. Effective July 1, 2005, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. Prior to July 1, 2005, AIM had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed below and Rule 12b-1 plan fees) of each Series to 1.30% of average daily net assets. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $154,090. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: AIM V.I. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $280,968 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $15,384. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Through June 30, 2005, ADI had contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed above) of Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. ADI did not reimburse fees during the period under this expense limitation. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $118,911. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $753,586 and sales of $843,050, which resulted in net realized gains of $70,920. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,395 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by AIM V.I. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon.

NOTE 8--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: There were no ordinary income & long-term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain $ 1,196,138 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 10,132,536 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (25,071) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (14,192,561) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 70,665,874 ============================================================================= Total net assets $ 67,776,916 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(622). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of December 31, 2005 to utilizing $2,838,512 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. AIM V.I. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND The Fund utilized $11,907,723 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $ 590,799 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 13,601,762 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $14,192,561 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. On September 23, 2005, 10,393,669 Series II shares valued at $58,932,102 were redeemed by a significant shareholder and settled through a redemption- in-kind transaction, which resulted in a realized gain of $7,823,348 to the Fund for book purposes. From a federal income tax perspective, the realized gains are not recognized. Furthermore, the redemption may trigger limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations regarding the amount of capital loss carryforward available for future utilization by the Fund. 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, 2005 was $124,947,973 and $202,796,047, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $11,167,335 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,034,177) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $10,133,158 _______________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $57,453,828. NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, foreign currency transactions and a redemption-in-kind transaction, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $533,267, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $756,545 and shares of beneficial interest increased by $223,278. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are four entities that are each record owners of more the 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 83% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. AIM V.I.

NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, AIM V.I. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. AIM V.I. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments.

DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Demographic Trends Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Demographic Trends Fund, formerly known as AIM V.I. Dent Demographic Trends Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund"), at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. 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 purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, fee income is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll. This fee income is amortized to income ratably over the term of the dollar roll. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll, it will segregate liquid assets having a dollar value equal to the purchase 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 purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed transaction costs. H. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. I. 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. 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 account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in 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. LOWER-RATED SECURITIES -- The Fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., "junk bonds". Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors claims. L. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.60% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.55% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND Effective July 1, 2005, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.75% and Series II shares to 1.00% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. Prior to July 1, 2005, AIM and/or the distributor had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $111,016. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $104,692 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $8,531. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $2,382. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005.

AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $310,415. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,116 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon.

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, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $3,500,194 $3,748,159 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 2,918,580 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) -- investments (300,511) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (55,421) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (20,121,002) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 73,525,487 ============================================================================ Total net assets $ 55,967,133 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales, defaulted bonds and partnership items. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies, futures contracts and defaulted bonds of $9,811. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of December 31, 2005 to utilizing $20,121,003 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND The Fund utilized $168,342 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2006 $ 116,458 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 $20,121,002 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $55,045,898 and $62,040,808, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 647,565 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (957,887) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities $ (310,322) _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $62,640,576.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and paydown reclassifications, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was increased by $168,225 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $168,225. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are three entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 81% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. AIM V.I.

DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 fiscal year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 0% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. AIM V.I. DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS As of December 31, 2005 The address of each trustee and officer of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"), is 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77046.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 long-term capital growth. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. PUT OPTIONS -- The Fund may purchase and write put options including securities index 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, securities index, or a futures contract. Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund's resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the securities hedged. The Fund may write put options to earn additional income in the form of option premiums if it expects the price of the underlying securities to remain stable or rise during the option period so that the option will not be exercised. The risk in this strategy is that the price of the underlying securities may decline by an amount greater than the premium received. 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. J. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS 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 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Through June 30, 2006, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:

AIM has also contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the fund). AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $7,530. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $285,943 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $17,062. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $29. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market fund below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in an affiliated money market fund for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $2,530,635 and sales of $2,890,509, which resulted in net realized gains of $149,366. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $824. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,325 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2005, securities with an aggregate value of $291,653 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $307,262 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral of $3,868 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 -------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation--investments $ 16,229,097 -------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (12,078) -------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (92,346,022) -------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 187,796,775 -------------------------------------------------- Total net assets $111,667,772 --------------------------------------------------
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 deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $25. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $12,873,997 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* --------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $21,720,093 --------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 70,625,929 --------------------------------------------- Total capital loss carryforward $92,346,022 ---------------------------------------------
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS 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, 2005 was $122,021,003 and $143,588,735, respectively. At the request of the Trustees, AIM recovered third party research credits, during the year ended December 31, 2005, in the amount of $2,905. These research credits were recorded as realized gains.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $18,562,655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (2,333,583) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $16,229,072 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments for tax purposes is $94,588,368.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses and foreign currency transactions and distributions from Real Estate Investment Trust, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $335,615, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $20,615 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $356,230. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code (S) 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: . that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; . that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; . that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and . that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS-(CONTINUED) All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. DYNAMICS FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 capital growth. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. H. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $2,512. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $415,794 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $15,544. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $27. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market fund below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in an affiliated money market fund for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $1,002,321. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $133. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,588 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. 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, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $1,893,532 $1,438,387 -------------------------------------------------------------
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ------------ Undistributed ordinary income $ 2,178,377 ------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 840,670 ------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation-investments 18,878,051 ------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (15,293) ------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 119,370,858 ------------------------------------------------- Total net assets $141,252,663 -------------------------------------------------
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $36. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. The Fund utilized $8,204,690 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005. On September 23, 2005, 3,082,094 Series I shares valued at $43,241,778 were redeemed by a significant shareholder and settled through a redemption-in-kind transaction, which resulted in a realized gain of $3,346,925 to the Fund for book purposes. From a federal income tax perspective, the realized gains are not recognized. Furthermore, the redemption may trigger limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations regarding the amount of capital loss carryforward, if any, available for future utilization by the Fund. AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND 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, 2005 was $35,779,904 and $94,885,730, respectively. At the request of the Trustees, AIM recovered third party research credits, during the year ended December 31, 2005, in the amount of $807. These research credits were recorded as realized gains.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $23,628,654 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (4,750,639) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $18,878,015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments for tax purposes is $122,747,725.
NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, redomestication expenses and a redemption-in-kind transaction, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,240, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $2,860,293 and shares of beneficial interest increased by $2,859,053. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code (S) 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: . that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; . that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; . that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and . that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS-(CONTINUED) All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Health Sciences 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 capital growth. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE 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 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Through June 30, 2006, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund's average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------ First $250 million 0.75% ------------------------ Next $250 million 0.74% ------------------------ Next $500 million 0.73% ------------------------ Next $1.5 billion 0.72% ------------------------ Next $2.5 billion 0.71% ------------------------ Next $2.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------ Next $2.5 billion 0.69% ------------------------ Over $10 billion 0.68% ------------------------
AIM has also contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the fund). AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $9,866. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $80,759 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $759,618 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $23,986. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $26. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market fund. The Fund and the money market fund below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in an affiliated money market fund for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $3,454,905 and sales of $1,563,797, which resulted in net realized gains of $398,691. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $314. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $5,133 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND 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, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2005, securities with an aggregate value of $5,335,575 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $5,595,032 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral of $17,492 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties.

NOTE 10--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, 2005 and 2004. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 -------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation--investments 22,694,365 -------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (24,275) -------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (20,476,873) -------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (58,653) -------------------------------------------------- Shares of Beneficial Interest 255,612,273 -------------------------------------------------- Total net assets $257,746,837 --------------------------------------------------
AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to the deferral of losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(180.) The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $19,805,917 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ------------------------------- December 31, 2010 $20,476,873 -------------------------------
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. On September 23, 2005, 3,903,880 Series I shares valued at $78,428,958 were redeemed by a significant shareholder and settled through a redemption-in-kind transaction, which resulted in a realized gain of $7,856,827 to the Fund for book purposes. From a federal income tax perspective, the realized gains are not recognized. Furthermore, the redemption may trigger limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations regarding the amount of capital loss carryforward available for future utilization by the Fund. 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, 2005 was $239,682,071 and $344,615,505, respectively. UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $32,400,280 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (9,705,735) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $22,694,545 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $241,698,289. NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of redemption-in-kind transactions, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, and organizational expenses, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $682,330, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $7,603,813 and shares of beneficial interest increased by $6,921,483. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND NOTE 13--SHARE INFORMATION

NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code (S) 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS-(CONTINUED) If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: . that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; . that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; . that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and . that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS-(CONTINUED) At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. GLOBAL HEALTH CARE FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund, formerly known as AIM V.I. Health Sciences Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -- Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Cash Flows are comprised of cash and investments in affiliated money market funds for the purpose of investing daily available cash balances. H. 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 purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, fee income is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll. This fee income is amortized to income ratably over the term of the dollar roll. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities PURCHASED AND NOT YET SETTLED. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll, it will segregate liquid assets having a dollar value equal to the purchase 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 purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed transaction costs. I. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.50% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.45% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Effective July 1, 2005, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.73% and Series II shares to 0.98% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $218,537. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP's expense reimbursement was less than $100. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $185,394 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,839,403 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $16,592. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $45,415. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in our affiliated money market fund for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $6,685 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND NOTE 5--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. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the average reverse repurchase agreements for the 331 days such agreements were outstanding was $27,453,952 with a weighted interest rate of 2.96% and interest expense of $813,559. There were no outstanding reverse repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2005. Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 6--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $26,764,362 $24,927,898 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 36,474,991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) -- investments (6,275,711) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (70,700) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (32,537,625) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (4,913,531) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 839,010,015 ========================================================================== Total net assets $831,687,439 __________________________________________________________________________ ==========================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 $11,708,442 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2012 7,926,972 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2013 12,902,211 =========================================================================== Total capital loss carryforward $32,537,625 ___________________________________________________________________________ ===========================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,424,529,085 and $1,236,195,555, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 3,618,531 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (9,894,242) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities $(6,275,711) _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $963,928,075.
NOTE 8--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was increased by $8,470,143 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $8,470,143. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 9--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are two entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 82% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has not knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these shareholders are also owned beneficially. AIM V.I.

SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, its cash flows and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 0% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. REQUIRED STATE INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of the ordinary dividends paid, 5.13% was derived from U.S. Treasury Obligations. AIM V.I.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. 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 AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND 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. K. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE --------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.65% --------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.60% ____________________________________________________________________ =====================================================================
AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $527. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $88,361 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $731,060 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $33,202. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $32,585. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. AIM V.I. GROWTH 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. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $4,067,182 and sales of $1,811,576, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(482,797). NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $5,235 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the average interfund borrowings for the 3 days the borrowings were outstanding was $1,680,550 with a weighted average interest rate of 2.92% and interest expense of $404. 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, 2005, the Fund did not borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon.

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, 2005 and 2004. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 61,620,878 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (76,452) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (383,445,069) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 641,241,754 ============================================================================= Total net assets $ 319,341,111 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the tax treatment of certain option 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 trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of December 31, 2005 to utilizing $382,545,842 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Fund utilized $45,700,335 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $254,169,218 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 103,262,179 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 26,013,672 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total capital loss carryforward $383,445,069 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that unrealized gains as of April 30, 2004, the date of the reorganization of INVESCO VIF-Growth Fund into the Fund, are realized on securities held in each fund at such date, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization. AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND 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, 2005 was $316,833,444 and $401,888,481, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $65,579,077 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (3,958,199) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $61,620,878 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $255,716,773.
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, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $826,161, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $36,376 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $789,785. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are five entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 74% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. (b) As of the opening of business on April 30, 2004, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of INVESCO VIF-Growth Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Trustees of the Fund on December 9, 2003 and INVESCO VIF-Growth Fund shareholders on April 2, 2004. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 451,258 shares of the Fund for 1,093,801 shares of INVESCO VIF-Growth Fund outstanding as of the close of business on April 29, 2004. INVESCO VIF-Growth Fund's net assets at that date of $6,684,290, including $435,251 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the Fund. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $388,609,444. AIM V.I.

NOTE 13--SIGNIFICANT EVENT The Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously approved, on November 14, 2005, a Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund, would transfer all of its assets to AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund ("Buying Fund"), a series of the Trust ("the Reorganization"). Upon closing of the Reorganization, shareholders of the Fund will receive a corresponding class of shares of Buying Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund, and the Fund will cease operations. The Plan of Reorganization requires approval of the Fund's shareholders. The Fund currently intends to submit the Plan of Reorganization to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held on or around April 4, 2006. Additional information regarding the Plan of Reorganization will be included in proxy materials to be mailed to shareholders for consideration. If the Plan of Reorganization is approved by the shareholders of the Fund and certain conditions required by the Plan of Reorganization are satisfied, the Reorganization is expected to become effective on or around May 1, 2006. NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Growth Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. As described in Note 13, the Board of Trustees has approved a plan of reorganization under which the Fund will merge with AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund. This merger is expected to take place following approval by the Fund's shareholders, at which time the Fund will cease to operate. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. GROWTH FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. LOWER-RATED SECURITIES -- The Fund may invest 80% of its net assets in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., "junk bonds". Investments in lower- rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors claims. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $200 million 0.625% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $300 million 0.55% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.50% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $1 billion 0.45% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.95% and Series II shares to 1.20% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. Prior to July 1, 2005, AIM had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed below and Rule 12b-1 plan fees) of each Series to 1.05% of average daily net assets. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the fund). AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $112,430. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $173,050 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $15,820. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Through June 30, 2005, ADI had contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed above) of Series II shares to 1.20% of average daily net assets. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $2,928 after ADI waived Plan fees of $593. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated.

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $823,536 and sales of $2,813,026, which resulted in net realized gains of $131,412. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $211. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,202 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the average borrowings for the 21 days the borrowings were outstanding was $2,966,921 with a weighted interest rate of 2.67% and interest expense of $4,550. 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, 2005, the Fund did not borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2005, securities with an aggregate value of $1,674,552 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $1,700,896 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral of $16,750 for securities lending transactions. 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, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $5,159,418 $2,805,738 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 4,851,373 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 1,145,045 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (34,577) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (12,056,718) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (404,974) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 62,786,116 ========================================================================== Total net assets $ 56,286,265 __________________________________________________________________________ ==========================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and deferred losses on defaulted securities. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of December 31, 2005 to utilizing $2,449,314 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Fund utilized $2,226,863 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $ 13,915 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 12,042,803 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $12,056,718 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. On September 23, 2005, 2,265,673 Series I shares valued at $14,953,441 were redeemed by a significant shareholder and settled through a redemption-in-kind transaction, which resulted in a realized gain of $365,548 to the Fund for book purposes. From a federal income tax perspective, the realized gains are not recognized. Furthermore, the redemption may trigger limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations regarding the amount of capital loss carryforward available for future utilization by the 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, 2005 was $47,235,596 and $82,044,329, respectively Receivable for investments matured represents the estimated proceeds to the Fund by the following issuers: Adelphia Communications Corp., which is in default with respect to the principal payments on $107,000 par value, Series B Senior Unsecured Notes, 9.25%, which was due October 1, 2002 and $476,000 par value, Senior Unsecured Notes, 9.50%, which was due March 1, 2005; and Pegasus Communications Corp., which is in default with respect to the principal payments on $310,000 par value, Series B, Senior Notes, 9.63%, which was due October 15, 2005. These estimates were determined in accordance with the fair valuation procedures authorized by the Board of Trustees. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the aggregate at December 31, 2005 was (206,777).
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 2,251,763 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,106,397) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 1,145,366 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $56,889,299.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of defaulted bonds, capital loss limitation adjustments, redemption in kind transaction and other differences, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $32,493, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $23,766,878 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $23,799,371. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments.

HIGH YIELD FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. High Yield Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. High Yield Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. HIGH YIELD FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 fiscal year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 0.99% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. H. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.70% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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). AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $5,724. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $103,662 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $892,386 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $35,907. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $87,003. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $5,373 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 6--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND At December 31, 2005, securities with an aggregate value of $24,828,638 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $25,877,064 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral of $158,012 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties. 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, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the recognition of unrealized gain for tax purposes on passive foreign investment companies. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $11,395. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of December 31, 2005 to utilizing $57,154,087 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Fund utilized $27,621,125 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2006 $ 531,811 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2007 431,410 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 10,733,015 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 45,889,261 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $57,585,497 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL 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, 2005 was $189,939,447 and $137,410,630, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $153,778,758 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (673,770) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $153,104,988 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $354,692,969.
NOTE 9--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $127,048 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $127,048. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 10--SHARE INFORMATION

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. International Growth Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. International Growth Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 fiscal year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 0.00% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.

The amount of taxes paid by the Fund to such countries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 was $0.015 per share (representing a total of $319,551). The following table provides a breakdown by country of ordinary income received and foreign taxes paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. H. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $1 billion 0.75% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1 billion 0.70% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $2 billion 0.625% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND Through June 30, 2006, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund based on the Fund's average daily net assets do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.695% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.67% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.645% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.62% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.57% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.545% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.52% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Effective July 1, 2005, AIM has also contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. Prior to July 1, 2005, AIM had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed below and Rule 12b-1 plan fees) of each Series to 1.30% of average daily net assets. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $17,816 and reimbursed expenses of $128,814. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,916 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $635. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Through June 30, 2005, ADI had contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed above) of Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $1,200 after ADI waived Plan fees of $286. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. NOTE 3--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $887. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,918 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 6--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 459 $1,312 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Long-term capital gain 5,849 1,602 ============================================================================== Total distributions $6,308 $2,914 ______________________________________________________________________________ ==============================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 482,274 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (4,582) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (10,284) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (12,890) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 4,533,529 ========================================================================== Total net assets $4,988,047 __________________________________________________________________________ ==========================================================================
AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $123. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2013 $10,284 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $5,964,348 and $2,376,653, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $512,322 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (30,171) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $482,151 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $4,551,392.
NOTE 8--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $1,876, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $204 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $2,080. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 9--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) Purchased for the purpose of initial capitalization of the Fund, AIM owns 25% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. In addition, there are two entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 75% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities, whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the fund. The fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all of any portion of the shares owned of record by these shareholders are also owned beneficially. AIM V.I.

NOTE 11--SIGNIFICANT EVENT The Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously approved, on November 14, 2005 a Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets of AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund ("Selling Fund"), a series of the Trust ("the Reorganization"). Upon closing of the Reorganization, shareholders of Selling Fund will receive a corresponding class of shares of the Fund in exchange for their shares of Selling Fund and Selling Fund will cease operations. The Plan of Reorganization requires approval of Selling Fund shareholders. The Selling Fund currently intends to submit the Plan of Reorganization to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held on or around April 4, 2006. Additional information regarding the Plan of Reorganization will be included in proxy materials to be mailed to shareholders for consideration. If the Plan of Reorganization is approved by the shareholders of Selling Fund and certain conditions required by the Plan of Reorganization are satisfied, the Reorganization is expected to become effective on or around May 1, 2006. NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 fiscal year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 100% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. The fund distributed long-term capital gains of $5,849 for the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005. AIM V.I.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Leisure Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 capital growth. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND H. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. Prior to July 1, 2005, AIM had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed below and Rule 12b-1 plan fees) of each Series to 1.30% of average daily net assets. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $82,448. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $130,452 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $1,038. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Through June 30, 2005, ADI had contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed above) of Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $21 after ADI waived Plan fees of $6. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market fund below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in an affiliated money market fund for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $157,017 and sales of $117,690, which resulted in net realized gains of $4,649. AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,079 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the average interfund borrowings for the 5 days the borrowings were outstanding was $4,737,380 with a weighted interest rate of 2.65% and interest expense of $1,719. 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, 2005, the Fund did not borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. 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, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 -------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 946,660 $165,878 -------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 711,336 44,676 -------------------------------------------- Total distributions $1,657,996 $210,554 --------------------------------------------
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 806,373 ------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 2,585,218 ------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation--investments 5,301,319 ------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (5,191) ------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (261,915) ------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 45,776,790 ------------------------------------------------- Total net assets $54,202,594 -------------------------------------------------
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the treatment of passive foreign investment companies and partnerships. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(328). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. The Fund had no capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005. AIM V.I. LEISURE 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, 2005 was $16,061,522 and $16,786,553, respectively. At the request of the Trustees, AIM recovered third party research credits during the year ended December 31, 2005, in the amount of $1,632. These research credits were recorded as realized gains.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 6,896,845 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,595,198) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 5,301,647 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments for tax purposes is $48,892,075.
NOTE 9--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies and partnership investments, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was increased by $41,612, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $40,957 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $655. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 10--SHARE INFORMATION

NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS-(CONTINUED) Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code (S) 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: . that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; . that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; . that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and . that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND NOTE 12--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS-(CONTINUED) IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. LEISURE FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Leisure Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Leisure Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including the Fund's pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by the Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Eligible securities for collateral are U.S. Government Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities and/or Investment Grade Debt Securities. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of Investment Grade Debt Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates ("Joint repurchase agreements"). If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the underlying security and loss of income. H. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. I. 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. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND J. 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. K. 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. L. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $500 million 0.725% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.70% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.675% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $1.5 billion 0.65% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $20,795. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $144,792 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,441,720 for services provided by insurance companies. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $21,719. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $111,000. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $9,700,354 and sales of $7,509,012, which resulted in net realized gains of $1,154,963. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $276. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $6,024 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon.

AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND 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, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 7,276,229 $12,675,049 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 15,344,660 10,630,329 ======================================================================================== Total distributions $22,620,889 $23,305,378 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 4,327,482 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 14,320,973 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 75,149,751 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (26,704) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 541,468,420 ============================================================================ Total net assets $635,239,922 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the realization of unrealized gains on passive foreign investment companies. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(318) and on option contracts written of $(425,649). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. The Fund did not have capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005. 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, 2005 was $397,582,842 and $350,604,531, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $81,535,073 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (5,959,355) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $75,575,718 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $560,704,277.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of Foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $13,591 and undistributed net realized gain was increased by $13,591. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are two entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 77% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to this entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these shareholders are also owned beneficially. (b) As of the opening of business on December 6, 2004, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Phoenix-AIM Mid Cap Equity Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Trustees of the Fund on September 14, 2004 and Phoenix-AIM Mid Cap Equity Fund shareholders on May 11, 2004. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 1,345,483 shares of the Fund for 1,441,644 shares of Phoenix-AIM Mid Cap Equity Fund outstanding as of the close of business on December 3, 2004. Phoenix-AIM Mid Cap Equity Fund's net assets at that date of $18,110,202, including $2,490,250 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the Fund. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $490,802,188.

SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. MID CAP CORE EQUITY FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting period. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- The Fund's securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly to separate accounts of participating insurance companies. Distributions from net realized gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. 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 AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of Investment Grade Debt Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates ("Joint repurchase agreements"). If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the underlying security and loss of income. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with AIM Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE --------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.40% --------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.35% ____________________________________________________________________ =====================================================================
AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) extraordinary items; (iv) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $101,196 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $4,533. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $11,398. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. NOTE 3--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,098 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND NOTE 4--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund did not borrow or lend under the facility during the year ended December 31, 2005. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 5--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Distributions paid from ordinary income $1,334,306 $461,065 ____________________________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 52,365 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (46,021) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 47,995,820 =========================================================================== Total net assets $48,002,164 ___________________________________________________________________________ ===========================================================================
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND NOTE 6--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are five entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 90% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these shareholders are also owned beneficially.

NOTE 8--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND NOTE 8--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Money Market Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Money Market Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting period. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 fiscal year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 0.00% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. AIM V.I. MONEY MARKET FUND TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS As of December 31, 2005 The address of each trustee and officer of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"), is 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77046.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and the space between $20,000 and $40,000 is the same as that between $40,000 and $80,000, and so on. 4 AIM V.I.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, or market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ National AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. 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. PREMIER EQUITY FUND 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. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. 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. K. 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 received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in 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. L. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.65% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.60% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees equal to 0.02% of the Fund's average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. AIM has also contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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). AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $190,304. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $367,109, for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $3,726,055 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $47,628. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $67,694. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $16,089,111 and sales of $6,325,817, which resulted in net realized (losses) of $(681,377). NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $10,304 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND 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, 2005, securities with an aggregate value of $3,647,079 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $3,798,900 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral of $75,645 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties.

NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $12,935,158 $7,686,910 _________________________________________________________________________________________ =========================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Undistributed ordinary income $ 11,123,795 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unrealized appreciation -- investments 206,708,951 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Temporary book/tax differences (168,296) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Capital loss carryforward (670,802,010) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Post-October currency loss deferral (41,902) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shares of beneficial interest 2,014,871,478 ============================================================================== Total net assets $1,561,692,016 ______________________________________________________________________________ ==============================================================================
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 deferral of losses on wash sales. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(358) and option contracts written of $(698,066). AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $70,550,997 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $101,386,215 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 412,231,328 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 157,184,467 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $670,802,010 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $744,851,666 and $925,937,024, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $249,825,237 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (42,417,862) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $207,407,375 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,358,250,579.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $45,490 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $45,490. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

PREMIER EQUITY FUND NOTE 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENT The Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously approved, on November 14, 2005, a Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets to AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund ("Buying Fund"), a series of the Trust (the "Reorganization"). Upon closing of the Reorganization, shareholders of the Fund will receive a corresponding class of shares of Buying Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund, and the Fund will cease operations. The Plan of Reorganization requires approval of the Fund's shareholders. The Fund currently intends to submit the Plan of Reorganization to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held on or around April 4, 2006. Additional information regarding the Plan of Reorganization will be included in proxy materials to be mailed to shareholders for consideration. If the Plan of Reorganization is approved by the shareholders of the Fund and certain conditions required by the Plan of Reorganization are satisfied, the Reorganization is expected to become effective on or around May 1, 2006. NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. As described in Note 14, the Board of Trustees has approved a plan of reorganization under which the Fund will merge with AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund. This merger is expected to take place following the approval of the Fund's shareholders, at which time the Fund will cease to operate. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. PREMIER EQUITY FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting period. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year December 31, 2005, 100% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000 and is the same as that between $20,000 and $40,000.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. REAL ESTATE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Real Estate Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 high total return. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. REAL ESTATE FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available timely from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year's allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. AIM V.I. REAL ESTATE 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 0.90% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Through June 30, 2006, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund based on the Fund's average daily net assets do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.74% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.73% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.72% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.71% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.69% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.68% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between AIM and INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. ("INVESCO"), AIM pays INVESCO 40% of the amount of AIM's compensation on the sub-advised assets. AIM has also contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $131,049. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $191,239 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $12,672. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $57. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of AIM, AISI, INVESCO and/or ADI. AIM V.I. REAL ESTATE 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. The Fund and the money market fund below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in an affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,178 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 6--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $2,067,539 $1,581,743 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 1,546,683 185,432 ====================================================================================== Total distributions $3,614,222 $1,767,175 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
AIM V.I. REAL ESTATE FUND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 2,690,029 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 5,344,603 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments 20,064,269 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (5,976) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (11,848) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 71,957,761 ============================================================================ Total net assets 100,038,838 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and market to market of certain passive foreign investment securities. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(30). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. The fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005. NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $54,868,131 and $42,550,900, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $20,440,094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (375,795) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $20,064,299 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $79,682,001.
NOTE 8--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and passive foreign investment companies, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was increased by $105,261 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $105,261. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. REAL ESTATE FUND NOTE 9--SHARE INFORMATION

(a)There are six entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 78% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund.. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. (b)Series II shares commenced sales on April 30, 2004.

SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, AIM V.I. REAL ESTATE FUND NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave AIM V.I. REAL ESTATE FUND NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. 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. 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 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. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in 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. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Through June 30, 2006, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund based on the Fund's average daily net assets do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.745% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.73% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.715% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.70% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.685% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.67% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.655% -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.64% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Effective July 1, 2005, AIM has also contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.15% and Series II shares to 1.40% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $115,253. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000, for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $80,414 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $3,481. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND Series II shares of the Fund. Through June 30, 2005, ADI had contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed above) of Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $1,280 after ADI waived Plan fees of $302. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $1,173,417 and sales of $249,383, which resulted in net realized gains of $54,343. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $426. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,009 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND 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, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. 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, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $ -- $ 997 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 5,270,902 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (4,902) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (492,385) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 38,657,256 ============================================================================= Total net assets $ 43,430,871 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales, treatment of certain option contracts, and passive foreign investment companies. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions The Fund utilized $689,298 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2012 $492,385 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $33,858,143 and $22,120,736, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 6,368,299 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,097,397) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 5,270,902 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $37,732,380.
AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND 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, 2005, undistributed net investment income was increased by $74,360, undistributed net realized gain (loss) decreased by $182 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $74,178. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are two entities that are each record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 97% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, AIM, and/or AIM affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund. AIM and/or AIM affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services.

NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code sec. 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; - that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and - that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND NOTE 13--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or before December 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated February 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM On December 1, 2004, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Independent Trustees of the Board. Tait, Weller & Baker LLP ("TAIT") was the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the prior reporting periods. The change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm was part of an effort by the Audit Committee to increase operational efficiencies by reducing the number of different audit firms engaged by the AIM Funds with December 31 year ends. On May 5, 2005, the Trust obtained a formal resignation from TAIT as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. TAIT's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period TAIT was engaged, there were no disagreements with TAIT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to TAIT's satisfaction would have caused TAIT to make reference to that matter in connection with such reports. TAX DISCLOSURES REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's tax year ended December 31, 2005, 100% is eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. AIM V.I. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS As of December 31, 2005 The address of each trustee and officer of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"), is 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77046. Each trustee oversees 109 portfolios in the AIM Funds complex. The trustees serve for the life of the Trust, subject to their earlier death, incapacitation, resignation, retirement or removal as more specifically provided in the Trust's organizational documents. Column two below includes length of time served with predecessor entities, if any.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Small Company 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-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 long-term capital growth. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. AIM V.I. SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. 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 received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in 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. I. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. AIM V.I. SMALL COMPANY GROWTH 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 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Through June 30, 2006, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund based on the Fund's average daily net assets do not exceed the annual rate of:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE ------------------------- First $250 million 0.745% ------------------------- Next $250 million 0.73% ------------------------- Next $500 million 0.715% ------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.70% ------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.685% ------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.67% ------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.655% ------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.64% -------------------------
Effective July 1, 2005 AIM has also contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.20% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through June 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. Prior to July 1, 2005, AIM had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below and Rule 12b-1 plan fees, if any) of Series I and Series II to 1.30% of average daily net assets. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the fund). AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $58,928. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $105,316 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $8,112. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Through June 30, 2005, ADI had contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding items (i) through (vi) discussed above) of Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $24 after ADI waived Plan fees of $5. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. AIM V.I. SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market fund below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in an affiliated money market fund for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $535,130 and sales of $678,586, which resulted in net realized gains of $60,244. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $208. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,056 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. AIM V.I. SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2005, securities with an aggregate value of $225,706 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $233,040 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral of $6,993 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties.

NOTE 10--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, 2005 and 2004. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 ------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation--investments $ 2,133,387 ------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (5,973) ------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (372,789) ------------------------------------------------- Share of beneficial interest 29,397,800 ------------------------------------------------- Total net assets $31,152,425 -------------------------------------------------
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. AIM V.I. SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND The Fund utilized $4,791,401 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* ------------------------------- December 31, 2010 $372,789 -------------------------------
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. On September 23, 2005, 918,227 Series I shares valued at $14,324,344 were redeemed by a significant shareholder and settled through a redemption-in-kind transaction, which resulted in a realized gain of $150,594 to the Fund for book purposes. From a federal income tax perspective, the realized gains are not recognized. Furthermore, the redemption may trigger limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations regarding the amount of capital loss carryforward available for future utilization by the Fund. 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, 2005 was $79,843,009 and $94,408,065, respectively. At the request of the Trustees, AIM recovered third party research credits during the the year ended December 31, 2005, in the amount of $238. These research credits were recorded as realized gains.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 3,196,278 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,062,891) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 2,133,387 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments for tax purposes is $28,946,299.
NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of redemption-in-kind, net operating loss reclassification and passive foreign investment company sale on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $357,964, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $115,712 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $242,252. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND NOTE 13--SHARE INFORMATION

NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code (S) 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia AIM V.I. SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS-(CONTINUED) Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: . that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; . that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; . that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and . that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans AIM V.I. SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Small Company Growth Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Small Company Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on. 4 AIM V.I.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Technology Fund, (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 capital growth. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. 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. 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. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND K. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2006. This agreement has been renewed through April 30, 2007. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. 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). AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $2,094. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $444,632 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $27,440. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $371. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market fund below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market fund for the year ended December 31, 2005. INVESTMENTS OF DAILY AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES:

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $1,865,164 and sales of $2,785,616, which resulted in net realized gains of $657,392. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (i) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions and (ii) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $1,001. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,601 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to a loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2005, securities with an aggregate value of $1,893,262 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $1,989,759 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral of $17,638 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties.

NOTE 10--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, 2005 and 2004. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 --------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation--investments $ 29,012,822 --------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (38,348) --------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (512,157,107) --------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (4,083) --------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 674,028,569 --------------------------------------------------- Total net assets $ 190,841,853 ---------------------------------------------------
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales, the deferral of losses on certain straddles and the treatment of partnerships. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $2,577 and option contracts written of $(85,597). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of December 31, 2005 to utilizing $506,206,634 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Fund utilized $5,632,549 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* --------------------------------------------- December 31, 2007 $ 64,729,977 --------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 260,086,552 --------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 153,547,080 --------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 33,793,498 --------------------------------------------- Total capital loss carryforward $512,157,107 ---------------------------------------------
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that unrealized gains as of April 30, 2004, the date of the reorganization of AIM V.I. New Technology Fund and INVESCO VIF-Telecommunications Fund into the Fund, are realized on securities held in each fund at such date, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization. NOTE 11--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $198,338,544 and $216,555,152, respectively. At the request of the Trustees, AIM recovered third party research credits during the year ended December 31, 2005, in the amount of $5,557. These research credits were recorded as realized gains.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $32,440,487 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (3,344,645) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $29,095,842 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments for tax purposes is $163,324,370.
NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, net operating loss reclassifications, and partnerships, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $1,071,774, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $46,397 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $1,118,171. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 13--SHARE INFORMATION

AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code (S) 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: . that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; . that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; . that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and . that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS-(CONTINUED) All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I. TECHNOLOGY FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V.I. Technology Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIM V.I. Technology Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results. This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Utilities Fund, (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-seven 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 ("variable products"). 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 capital growth and current income. Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of indemnification claims is considered remote. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, which may be considered fair valued, 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. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations having 60 days or less to maturity and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's shares are determined as of the close of the respective markets. Events affecting the values of such foreign securities may occur between the times at which the particular foreign market closes and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE which would not ordinarily be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current market value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and, 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. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. H. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Effective September 23, 2005, AIM has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.93% and Series II shares to 1.18% of average daily net assets, through April 30, 2007. Prior to September 23, 2005, AIM had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. Those credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND Further, AIM has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund in the amount of 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. AIM is also voluntarily waiving a portion of the advisory fee payable by the Fund equal to the difference between the income earned from investing in the affiliated money market fund and the hypothetical income earned from investing in an appropriate comparative benchmark. Voluntary fee waivers or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM waived fees of $43,450. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, AMVESCAP agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, AMVESCAP did not reimburse any expenses. The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has agreed to pay AIM a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse AIM for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants' accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2005, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $413,332 for services provided by insurance companies. The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to pay AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AISI") a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AISI for certain expenses incurred by AISI in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid AISI $17,986. The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") 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 ADI 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 insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Series II shares paid $1,721. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of AIM, AISI and/or ADI. 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. The Fund and the money market fund below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in an affiliated money market fund for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee and Officer of the Fund who is not an "interested person" of AIM. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,581 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 5--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a participant in an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the credit facility can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the rate contractually agreed upon. NOTE 6--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:
2005 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $2,634,707 $1,790,572 -------------------------------------------------------------
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2005, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2005 -------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 4,387,224 -------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 2,709,304 -------------------------------------------------- Unrealized appreciation--investments 22,899,819 -------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (44,076) -------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (3,678,571) -------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 88,630,892 -------------------------------------------------- Total net assets $114,904,592 --------------------------------------------------
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 deferral of losses on wash sales and the treatment of defaulted bonds. The tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(3,716). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan expenses. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of December 31, 2005 to utilizing $919,643 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Fund utilized $5,603,621 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2005 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* --------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 $ 441,827 --------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 3,236,744 --------------------------------------------- Total capital loss carryforward $3,678,571 ---------------------------------------------
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that unrealized gains as of April 30, 2004, the date of the reorganization of AIM V.I. Global Utilities Fund into the Fund, are realized on securities held in each fund at such date, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization. On September 23, 2005, 5,596,472 Series I shares valued at $104,933,842 were redeemed by a significant shareholder and settled through a redemption- in-kind transaction, which resulted in a realized gain of $24,838,897 to the Fund for book purposes. From a federal income tax perspective, the realized gains are not recognized. Furthermore, the redemption may trigger limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations regarding the amount of capital loss carryforward available for future utilization by the Fund. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND NOTE 7--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities and money market funds) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $79,555,242 and $150,346,290, respectively. At the request of the Trustees, AIM recovered third party research credits during the year ended December 31, 2005, in the amount of $16,098. These research credits were recorded as realized gains.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $23,923,906 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,020,371) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $22,903,535 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments for tax purposes is $93,857,065.
NOTE 8--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of redemption in kind transactions, defaulted bond, reorganization expenses and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2005, undistributed net investment income was increased by $66,685, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $24,387,158 and shares of beneficial interest increased by $24,320,473. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 9--SHARE INFORMATION

Global Utilities Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Trustees of the Fund on December 9, 2003 and AIM V.I. Global Utilities Fund shareholders on April 2, 2004. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax free exchange of 1,686,567 shares of the Fund for 1,960,982 shares of AIM V.I. Global Utilities Fund outstanding as of the close of business on April 29, 2004. AIM V.I. Global Utilities Fund's net assets at that date of $21,337,426, including $1,651,275 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the Fund. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $69,390,372. AIM V.I.

UTILITIES FUND NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (the distributor of the retail AIM Funds) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) has been created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, AIM and ADI created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by AIM, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. These two fair funds may increase as a result of contributions from third parties who reach final settlements with the SEC or other regulators to resolve allegations of market timing and/or late trading that also may have harmed applicable AIM Funds. These two fair funds will be distributed in accordance with a methodology to be determined by AIM's independent distribution consultant, in consultation with AIM and the independent trustees of the AIM Funds and acceptable to the staff of the SEC. As the methodology is unknown at the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the distribution of these two fair funds may have on the Fund or whether such distribution will have an impact on the Fund's financial statements in the future. At the request of the trustees of the AIM Funds, AMVESCAP PLC ("AMVESCAP"), the parent company of IFG and AIM, has agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the AIM Funds related to market timing matters. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On April 12, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia ("WVAG") filed a civil lawsuit against AIM, IFG and ADI, as well as numerous unrelated mutual fund complexes and financial institutions. None of the AIM Funds has been named as a defendant in this lawsuit. The WVAG complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia [Civil Action No. 05-C-81], alleges, in substance, that AIM, IFG and ADI engaged in unfair competition and/or unfair or deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose in the prospectuses for the AIM Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG, that they had entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of such Funds. As a result of the foregoing, the WVAG alleges violations of W. Va. Code (S) 46A-1-101, et seq. (the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act). The WVAG complaint is seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties and a writ of quo warranto against the defendants. If AIM is unsuccessful in its defense of the WVAG lawsuit, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could affect the ability of 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 these results occur, AIM will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as the Fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On October 19, 2005, this lawsuit was transferred for pretrial purposes to the MDL Court (as defined below). On July 7, 2005, the Supreme Court of West Virginia ruled in an unrelated lawsuit that is similar to this action that the WVAG does not have authority to bring an action based upon conduct that is ancillary to the purchase or sale of securities. AIM intends to seek dismissal of the WVAG's lawsuit against it, IFG and ADI in light of this ruling. On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to AIM and ADI. The WVASC makes findings of fact that essentially mirror the WVAG's allegations mentioned above and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. AIM and ADI have the right to contest the WVASC's findings and conclusions, which they intend to do. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: . that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; . that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing; . that the defendants charged excessive advisory and/or distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale and that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans; and . that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid, an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments, restitution of all commissions and fees paid, and prospective relief in the form of reduced fees. AIM V.I. UTILITIES FUND NOTE 11--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS-(CONTINUED) All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related activity have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in AMVESCAP's 401(k) plan. On August 25, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in motions to dismiss shareholder class action and derivative complaints that were filed in unrelated lawsuits. On November 3, 2005, the MDL Court issued short opinions for the most part applying these rulings to the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action but one: the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Court dismissed all claims asserted in the class action complaint but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the MDL Court deferred ruling on the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. The question whether the duplicative Section 36(b) claim properly belongs in the derivative complaint or in the class action complaint will be decided at a later date. At the MDL Court's request, the parties submitted proposed orders implementing these rulings in the AIM and IFG lawsuits. The MDL Court has not entered any orders on the motions to dismiss in these lawsuits and it is possible the orders may differ in some respects from the rulings described above. Based on the MDL Court's opinion and both parties' proposed orders, however, all claims asserted against the Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court will be dismissed, although certain Funds will remain nominal defendants in the derivative lawsuit. On December 6, 2005, the MDL Court issued rulings on the common issues of law presented in defendants' omnibus motion to dismiss the ERISA complaints. The ruling was issued in unrelated lawsuits that are similar to the ERISA lawsuits brought against AIM and IFG and related entities. The MDL Court: (i) denied the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing or that the defendants' investments in company stock are entitled to a presumption of prudence; (ii) granted the motion to dismiss as to defendants not named in the employee benefit plan documents as fiduciaries but gave plaintiffs leave to replead facts sufficient to show that such defendants acted as de facto fiduciaries; and (iii) confirmed plaintiffs' withdrawal of their prohibited transactions and misrepresentations claims. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost securityholders. IFG, AIM and ADI are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As a result of the matters discussed above, investors in the AIM Funds might react by redeeming their investments. This might require the AIM Funds to sell investments to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AIM Funds. AIM V.I.

Utilities Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 14, 2006 Houston, Texas AIM V.I.

The Audit Committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to AIM and AIM Affiliates that were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to SEC regulations, if any, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence. PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES As adopted by the Audit Committees of the AIM Funds (the "Funds") Last Amended September 13, 2005 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 Committees pre-approve the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by each Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Funds' investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds ("Service Affiliates") if the services directly impact the Funds' operations or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations. Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committees ("general pre-approval") or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees ("specific pre-approval"). As set forth in these policies and procedures, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committees. Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will also consider the impact of additional fees on the Auditor's independence when determining whether to approve any additional fees for previously pre-approved services. The Audit Committees will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be provided by each Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval through September 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committees consider a different period and state otherwise. The Audit Committees will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit Committees in fulfilling their responsibilities. II. DELEGATION The Audit Committees 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 quarterly meeting. III. AUDIT SERVICES The annual audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds' financial statements. The Audit Committee will obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor's qualifications and independence. In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committees may grant 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. NON-AUDIT SERVICES The Audit Committees 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 Audit Committees believe that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SEC's Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committee's general principles and policies as set forth herein. The Audit Committees may provide specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committees believe that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the auditor, is consistent with the SEC Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committees' general principles and policies as set forth herein. AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES "Audit-related services" are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund's financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as "Audit services"; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; and agreed-upon procedures related to mergers, compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities. TAX SERVICES "Tax services" include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds' federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committee will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy. No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Provider before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims. ALL OTHER AUDITOR SERVICES The Audit Committees may pre-approve non-audit services classified as "All other services" that are not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy. V. PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS OR ESTABLISHED AMOUNTS Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit Committees. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit Committees at the quarterly Audit Committees meeting and will require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committee will always factor in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services. VI. PROCEDURES On an annual basis, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") will submit to the Audit Committees for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other information as the Audit Committee may request. Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees will be submitted to the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees. The Audit Committees will be informed at the next quarterly scheduled Audit Committees meeting of any such services for which the Auditor rendered an invoice and whether such services and fees had been pre-approved and if so, by what means. Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committees shall be submitted to the Audit Committees jointly by the Fund's Treasurer or his or her designee and the Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with the policies and procedures and the SEC Rules. Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committees for approval, including documentation that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied. On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services. The Audit Committees have designated the Funds' Treasurer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies and procedures. The Funds' Treasurer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis as to the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds' Treasurer and management of AIM will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of these policies and procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds' Treasurer or senior management of AIM. EXHIBIT 1 TO PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 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.
