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, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. 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. AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. DOLLAR ROLL AND FORWARD COMMITMENT TRANSACTIONS -- The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA mortgage-backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a "fee" or a "drop". "Fee" income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the "drop" which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations. At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund's overall interest rate exposure. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. L. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts. 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. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. M. SWAP AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts ("CDS") for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Interest rate, index, and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index. A CDS is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying an upfront payment and/or a fixed payment over the life of the agreement to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver the corresponding bonds, or other similar bonds issued by the same reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the "par value", of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive an upfront payment and/or a fixed payment over the life of the agreement. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the corresponding bonds or similar bonds issued by the same reference entity. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. Because the CDS is a bilateral agreement between Counterparties, the transaction can alternatively be settled by a cash payment in the case of a credit event. AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund amortizes upfront payments and/or accrues for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. N. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with 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% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $223,969. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $170,617 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 Balanced Fund ADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances 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, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $2,371,546, which resulted in net realized gains of $182,570, and securities purchases of $32,878. 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $1,041. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,781 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. AIM V.I. Basic Balanced 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 bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--FUTURES CONTRACTS On December 31, 2007, $82,655 principal amount of U.S. Mortgage-backed obligations were pledged as collateral to cover margin requirements for open futures contracts.

Basic Balanced Fund NOTE 10--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $2,020,983 $1,693,732 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 Undistributed ordinary income $ 1,799,021 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 6,360,129 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (37,886) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (10,514,572) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 66,687,961 ============================================================================ Total net assets $ 64,294,653 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales, the recognition of gains (losses) on dollar roll transactions, the realization for tax purpose of unrealized gains (losses) on certain future contracts and credit default swap agreements. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(159). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $6,868,516 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, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 $10,514,572 ___________________________________________________________________________ ===========================================================================
* 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 11--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007, was $37,858,379 and $61,457,134, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 9,098,354 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (2,738,066) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 6,360,288 _______________________________________________________________________________ ===============================================================================
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $63,455,513.
NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, paydowns on mortgage-backed securities and swap agreements, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $83,652 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $83,652. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund NOTE 13--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 71% 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 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal. New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements") . This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund NOTE 16--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. AIM V.I. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2007 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING ACCOUNT EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $964.60 $4.51 $1,020.62 $4.63 0.91% Series II 1,000.00 963.30 5.74 1,019.36 5.90 1.16
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 39.06%
* The above percentage is based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's fiscal year. 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, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. 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. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. 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:
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% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE - -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.695% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.67% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.645% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.62% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.57% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.545% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.52% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. In addition, the Fund may also benefit from a one time credit to be used to offset custodian expenses. These 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, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $207,306. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $193,601 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,965,937 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $1,893,124, which resulted in net realized gains of $584,727, and securities purchases of $448,548. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (i) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian and (ii) a one time custodian fee credit used to offset custodian fees. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $8,771. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $6,031 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. Basic Value 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $3,878,475 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $4,082,818 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $15,654 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, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 3,968,116 $ 4,476,018 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 40,660,956 32,755,558 ======================================================================================== Total distributions $44,629,072 $37,231,576 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 12,254,747 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 81,865,935 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 150,329,786 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (71,743) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 459,223,489 ============================================================================ Total net assets $703,602,214 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $7. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007. AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $193,941,952 and $332,946,557, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $188,127,843 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (37,798,050) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $150,329,793 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $553,877,199.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $10,482 and undistributed net realized gain was increased by $10,482. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 64% 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 At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s): New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement.

AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. AIM V.I. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $942.80 $4.70 $1,020.37 $4.89 0.96% Series II 1,000.00 942.50 5.92 1,019.11 6.16 1.21
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Long-Term Capital Gain Dividends $40,660,956 Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 99.95%
* The above percentage is based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's fiscal year. 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, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. 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. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation 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 $250 million 0.65% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $250 million 0.60% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
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 $750 million 0.625% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.62% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.57% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.545% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.52% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $11,476. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $357,435 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $3,520,964 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $6,881,340, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(912,971), and securities purchases of $6,038,628. 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $2,020. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $8,264 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $23,777,175 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $24,710,670 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $66,088 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, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $ -- $692,340 ________________________________________________________________________________ ================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 334,897,801 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Temporary book/tax differences (284,803) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Capital loss carryforward (233,324,538) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shares of beneficial interest 1,334,682,644 ============================================================================== Total net assets $1,435,971,104 ______________________________________________________________________________ ==============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the deferral of losses on certain straddle transactions. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $349. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund 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, 2007 to utilizing $189,887,985 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Fund utilized $71,222,562 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, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $ 32,326,216 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 144,685,370 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 56,312,952 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $233,324,538 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* 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 the dates May 1, 2006, the date of the reorganization of AIM V.I. Aggressive Growth Fund and V.I. Growth Fund into the Fund and November 6, 2006, the date of the reorganization of AIM V.I. Demographic Trends Fund into the Fund are realized on securities held in each fund at such dates of the reorganizations, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the dates of the reorganizations. On April 27, 2007, 1,144,589 shares of the Fund valued at $56,570,503 were redeemed by a significant shareholder and settled through a redemption-in-kind transaction, which resulted in realized gains of $11,904,147 to the Fund for book purposes. Such gains are not recognized for federal income tax purposes. NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,057,638,933 and $1,361,444,934, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $366,725,159 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (31,827,707) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $334,897,452 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,127,298,362.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, expired capital loss carryforward, redemption-in-kind adjustments and net operating losses, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $490,604, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $8,096,183 and shares of beneficial interest increased by $7,605,579. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

The combined aggregate net assets of the Fund subsequent to the reorganizations were $1,713,716,474. In addition, as of the opening of business on November 6, 2006, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of AIM V.I. Dent Demographic Trends Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Trustees of the Fund on August 1, 2006 and by the shareholders of AIM V.I.

NOTE 13--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal. New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) ENDING ENDING BEGINNING ACCOUNT EXPENSES ACCOUNT EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE VALUE PAID DURING VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $1,021.60 $ 4.54 $1,020.72 $4.53 0.89% Series II 1,000.00 1,020.10 5.80 1,019.46 5.80 1.14
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

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, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. 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. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund K. CALL OPTIONS WRITTEN AND PURCHASED -- The Fund may write and/or buy call options. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. Options written by the Fund normally will have expiration dates between three and nine months from the date written. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to, or above the current market value of the underlying security at the time the option is written. When the Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. 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. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operation. 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. When the Fund buys a call option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the investment is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current value of the option purchased. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. 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. L. PUT OPTIONS PURCHASED -- The Fund may purchase put options including options on securities indexes and/or futures contracts. 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. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. 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. 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 at least April 30, 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 0.745% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $36,104. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $85,697 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $804,348 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. AIM V.I. Capital Development 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, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $5,728,074, which resulted in net realized gains of $148,154, and securities purchases of $596,919. 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $4,033. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,436 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $14,022,732 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $14,322,425 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $91,811 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: The tax character of distributions paid during the years December 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $10,034,730 $ 262,849 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 17,310,043 4,112,091 ======================================================================================= Total distributions $27,344,773 $4,374,940 _______________________________________________________________________________________ =======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 3,129,164 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 25,652,400 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 49,496,529 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (45,650) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October Capital loss deferral (2,642,085) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October Currency loss deferral (17,070) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 265,017,505 ========================================================================== Total net assets $340,590,793 __________________________________________________________________________ ==========================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the deferral of losses on certain straddle transactions. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(138). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007. NOTE 11--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $384,000,900 and $348,313,727, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 68,177,303 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (18,680,636) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 49,496,667 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $304,845,655.
AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $1,957,702 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $1,957,702. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 70% 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 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal. New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

Capital Development Fund NOTE 16--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, 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 three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $964.10 $5.20 $1,019.91 $5.35 1.05% Series II 1,000.00 962.60 6.43 1,018.65 6.61 1.30
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX ------------------------------------- Long-Term Capital Gain Dividends $17,310,043 Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 6.38%
* The above percentage is based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's fiscal year. AIM V.I.

AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. 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. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund K. COVERED CALL OPTIONS WRITTEN -- The Fund may write call options. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer (the Fund) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. Written call options are recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. 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. Realized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. 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. L. PUT OPTIONS PURCHASED -- The Fund may purchase put options including options on securities indexes and/or futures contracts. 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. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. 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. 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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. In addition, the Fund may also benefit from a one time credit to be used to offset custodian expenses. These 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, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $215,531. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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. Core Equity Fund ADI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund.

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $1,211,948, which resulted in net realized gains of $304,557, and securities purchases of $13,372,896. NOTE 5--EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT The expense offset arrangements is comprised of (i) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian and (ii) a one time custodian fee credit used to offset custodian fees. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $17,008. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $11,734 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. Core Equity 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $25,428,439 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $26,118,298 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $361,560 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: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income: $26,412,666 $14,725,726 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================
AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Undistributed ordinary income $ 38,528,865 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net unrealized appreciation--investments 278,636,570 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Temporary book/tax differences (399,540) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Capital loss carryforward (267,989,114) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shares of beneficial interest 2,284,002,118 ============================================================================== Total net assets $2,332,778,899 ______________________________________________________________________________ ==============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(13,230). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $383,107,945 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, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $ 89,586,793 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 157,184,467 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2011 21,217,854 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $267,989,114 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* 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 May 1, 2006, the date of the reorganization of AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund and AIM V.I. Premier Equity 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, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,046,293,348 and $1,689,620,830, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $371,328,458 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (92,678,658) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $278,649,800 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $2,081,814,765.
NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,489,709 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $1,489,709. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund NOTE 13--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 61% 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 May 1, 2006, the Fund acquired all the net assets of AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund and AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund pursuant to the plans of reorganization approved by the Trustees of the Fund on November 14, 2005 and by the shareholders of AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund and AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund, respectively on April 4, 2006. The acquisitions were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 65,785,962 shares of the Fund for 4,265,009 shares outstanding of AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund and 67,047,704 shares outstanding of AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund as of the close of business on April 28, 2006. Each class of shares of AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund and AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund was exchanged for the like class of shares of the Fund based on the relative net asset value of AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund and AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund, respectively to the net asset value of the Fund on the close of business, April 28, 2006. AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund's net assets as of the close of business on April 28, 2006 of $85,632,841 including $5,569,111 of unrealized appreciation and AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund's net assets as of the close of business on April 28, 2006 of $1,563,448,544 including $199,249,945 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with the net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition of $1,233,787,778. The combined aggregate net assets of the Fund subsequent to the reorganization were $2,882,869,163. NOTE 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s). New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers")(the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new proposed sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

Core Equity Fund NOTE 16--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor--Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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 financial highlights. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $991.20 $4.37 $1,020.82 $4.43 0.87% Series II 1,000.00 990.10 5.62 1,019.56 5.70 1.12
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. LOWER-RATED SECURITIES -- The Fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., "junk bonds". Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors' claims. J. DOLLAR ROLL AND FORWARD COMMITMENT TRANSACTIONS -- The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA mortgage-backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a "fee" or a "drop". "Fee" income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the "drop" which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations. At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund's overall interest rate exposure. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. L. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. M. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts. 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. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. N. SWAP AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts ("CDS") for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Interest rate, index, and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index. A CDS is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying an upfront payment and/or a fixed payment over the life of the agreement to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver the corresponding bonds, or other similar bonds issued by the same reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the "par value", of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive an upfront payment and/or a fixed payment over the life of the agreement. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the corresponding bonds or similar bonds issued by the same AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund reference entity. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. Because the CDS is a bilateral agreement between Counterparties, the transaction can alternatively be settled by a cash payment in the case of a credit event. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund amortizes upfront payments and/or accrues for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. O. COLLATERAL -- To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with 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 has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.75% and Series II shares to 1.00% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $181,597. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $77,458 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved 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, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).
VALUE PURCHASES PROCEEDS VALUE DIVIDEND FUND 12/31/06 AT COST FROM SALES 12/31/07 INCOME - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liquid Assets Portfolio-Institutional Class $119,019 $ 7,598,444 $ (7,717,463) $ -- $ 7,703 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Premier Portfolio -Institutional Class 119,019 7,598,444 (7,717,463) -- 7,681 =========================================================================================================== Total Investments in Affiliates $238,038 $15,196,888 $(15,434,926) $ -- $15,384 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ===========================================================================================================
NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $530,093, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(2,612). 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $1,213. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,652 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund NOTE 8--FUTURES CONTRACTS On December 31, 2007, $187,663 principal amount of U.S. mortgage-backed obligations were pledged as collateral to cover margin requirements for open futures contracts.

Diversified Income Fund NOTE 10--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $2,924,234 $2,920,234 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 1,902,734 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) -- investments (1,628,731) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (46,173) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (17,978,548) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 56,692,849 ============================================================================ Total net assets $ 38,942,131 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to the realization of unrealized gains on certain futures contracts and swaps, treatment of partnership investments, and the deferral of losses on wash sales. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $(9). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 $ 4,437,761 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 6,105,069 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 6,879,053 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2014 341,884 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2015 214,781 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $17,978,548 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* 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 11--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $28,866,298 and $34,042,733, respectively. UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 191,571 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,820,311) =========================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities $(1,628,740) ___________________________________________________________________________ =========================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $42,368,495.
NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, foreign future transactions, paydowns on mortgage backed securities, partnership transactions, dollar roll transactions, credit default swap transactions, and capital loss carryforward expirations, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $8,799, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $2,573,864 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $2,582,663. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund NOTE 13--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are 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 or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. NOTE 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s). New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement.

AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund NOTE 16--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, 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 three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING ACCOUNT EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $1,003.90 $3.79 $1,021.42 $ 3.82 0.75% Series II 1,000.00 1,002.90 5.05 1,020.16 5.09 1.00
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year -- end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 1.93%
* The above percentage is based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the fund's fiscal year. AIM V.I.

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, 2007 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 separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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 capital growth. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. 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. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund K. CALL OPTIONS WRITTEN -- The Fund may write and/or buy call options. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. Options written by the Fund normally will have expiration dates between three and nine months from the date written. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to, or above the current market value of the underlying security at the time the option is written. When the Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. 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. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operation. 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. When the Fund buys a call option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the investment is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current value of the option purchased. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. 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. L. PUT OPTIONS PURCHASED -- The Fund may purchase put options including options on securities indexes and/or futures contracts. 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. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. 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. M. 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 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. Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the following annual rates of the Fund's average daily net assets:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE - -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.745% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $5,563. AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $328,485 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $1,501,405, which resulted in net realized (losses) of $(256,760), and securities purchases of $1,048,087. AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $1,165. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,911 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $2,913,433 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $2,977,100 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $35,585 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, 2007 and 2006. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments $ 10,304,528 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (21,137) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (55,194,636) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 167,105,014 ============================================================================ Total net assets $122,193,769 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of ($55). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $17,314,846 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, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 $55,194,636 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 11--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $148,273,556 and $159,741,278, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $18,344,023 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (8,039,440) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $10,304,583 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $114,772,445.
AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, partnerships and net operating losses, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $754,035, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $29,402 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $783,437. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 13--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are 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 entities are also owned beneficially. NOTE 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal. New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements") . This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

Dynamics Fund NOTE 16--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (7/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $982.60 $5.45 $1,019.71 $5.55 1.09% Series II 1,000.00 981.50 6.69 1,018.45 6.82 1.34
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

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, 2007 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 separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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 capital growth. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE FUND -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment 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. Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE - ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.74% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.73% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.72% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.71% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.69% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.68% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $2,119. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $307,474 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,932 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 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 by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its 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 AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $1,429,758 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $1,469,878 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $8,567 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, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $2,161,740 $2,186,522 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 6,995,412 842,280 ====================================================================================== Total distributions $9,157,152 $3,028,802 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 2,254,281 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 5,546,886 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) -- investments (4,251,056) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (24,077) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October Capital loss deferral (323,313) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 85,629,486 =========================================================================== Total net assets $88,832,207 ___________________________________________________________________________ ===========================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation (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 benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007. NOTE 8--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $10,437,951 and $33,749,909, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 12,868,399 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (17,119,455) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities $ (4,251,056) ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $92,545,778.
AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund NOTE 9--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $23,904 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $23,904. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 10--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are 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 11--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposals. - New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. - For AIM V.I. Financial Services, changing the Fund sub-classification from diversified to non-diversified. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. 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. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN ACTUAL BEFORE EXPENSES) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $775.60 $5.15 $1,019.41 $5.85 1.15% Series II 1,000.00 775.20 6.26 1,018.15 7.12 1.40
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Long-Term Capital Gain Dividends $6,995,411 Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 100%
* The above percentage is based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's fiscal year. AIM V.I.

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, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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 capital growth. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE FUND -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment 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. Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE - ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.74% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.73% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.72% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.71% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.69% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.68% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $19,932. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $81,687 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $767,120 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $9,542,918, which resulted in net realized gains of $1,150,459, and securities purchases of $779,462. 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $5,820. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,571 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $22,450,898 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $23,232,691 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $96,543 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties.

AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund 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 during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 8,765,267 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 30,353,278 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 14,742,842 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (37,400) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (10,949) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 190,451,611 ============================================================================ Total net assets $244,264,649 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $1,107. 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 benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $10,698,032 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized gain for federal tax purposes. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007 NOTE 11--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $192,627,954 and $304,994,473, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $30,718,700 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (15,976,965) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $14,741,735 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $253,535,278.
NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $373,197 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $373,197. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund NOTE 13--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 72% 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 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s). New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

Global Health Care Fund NOTE 16--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $1,054.80 $ 5.54 $1,019.81 $5.45 1.07% Series II 1,000.00 1,052.60 6.83 1,018.55 6.72 1.32
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. Global Real Estate Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Global Real Estate Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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 high total return through growth of capital and current income. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Global Real Estate Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year's allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction to the cost of investments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE FUND -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. AIM V.I. Global Real Estate Fund The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of 0.90% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE - ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.74% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.73% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.72% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.71% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.70% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.69% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.68% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between AIM and Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. ("Invesco Real Estate"), AIM pays Invesco Real Estate 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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $158,211. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $435,490 for services provided by insurance companies. AIM V.I. Global Real Estate Fund The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $646. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,112 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 exceed 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 Real Estate Fund The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $8,642,588 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $9,070,150 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $25,303 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, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $11,622,307 $2,692,485 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 19,729,740 5,346,191 ======================================================================================= Total distributions $31,352,047 $8,038,676 _______________________________________________________________________________________ =======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 9,289,072 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 10,163,000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 12,273,239 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (16,920) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (20,180) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October PFIC MTM deferral (2,977,923) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 117,708,826 ============================================================================ Total net assets $146,419,114 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the recognition of income for tax purposes on certain passive foreign investment companies. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $2,978. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007. AIM V.I. Global Real Estate Fund NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $102,586,893 and $133,708,790, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $19,783,480 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (7,513,219) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $12,270,261 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $145,328,208.
NOTE 10--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, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $4,265,846 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $4,265,846. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 71% 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 12--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including among others the following proposal(s). New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory agreements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

Global Real Estate Fund NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. AIM V.I. Global Real Estate 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 Real Estate 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 Real Estate Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Global Real Estate Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE EXPENSES) ACTUAL EXPENSES BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING PAID ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $ 953.90 $5.81 $1,019.26 $6.01 1.18% Series II 1,000.00 953.10 7.04 1,018.00 7.27 1.43
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

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, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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 a high level of current income consistent with reasonable concern for safety of principal. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gain 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. AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE FUNDS -- The Funds may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. Many securities purchased by the Fund are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. J. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -- For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received. K. DOLLAR ROLL AND FORWARD COMMITMENT TRANSACTIONS -- The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA mortgage-backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon 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, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a "fee" or a "drop". "Fee" income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the "drop" which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short- AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the Statement of Operations. At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund's overall interest rate exposure. L. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including the Fund's pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by the Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Eligible securities for collateral are securities consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and may consist of U.S. Government Securities, U.S. Government 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"). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income. M. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. N. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. O. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts. 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. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund P. 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% __________________________________________________________________ ===================================================================
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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $322,082. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $253,161 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $2,603,426 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances 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, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).
VALUE PURCHASES PROCEEDS VALUE DIVIDEND FUND 12/31/06 AT COST FROM SALES 12/31/07 INCOME - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Government & Agency Portfolio-Institutional Class $96,350,746 $ -- $(96,350,746) $ -- $28,871 _________________________________________________________________________________________________ =================================================================================================
AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund NOTE 4--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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $6,195. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $6,519 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 6--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 7--FUTURES CONTRACTS On December 31, 2007, $5,571,000 principal amount of U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government obligations were pledged as collateral to cover margin requirements for open futures contracts.

NOTE 9--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from Ordinary income $46,472,697 $36,481,768 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Undistributed ordinary income $ 56,793,085 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 5,698,483 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Temporary book/tax differences (99,639) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Capital loss carryforward (54,493,981) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shares of beneficial interest 1,180,856,931 ============================================================================== Total net assets $1,188,754,879 ______________________________________________________________________________ ==============================================================================
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 net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the realization for tax purposes of gains on certain futures contracts. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on forward commitments of $(154,500). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007 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 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2014 17,860,899 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2015 4,095,457 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $54,493,981 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* 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. Government Securities Fund NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $997,580,710 and $972,282,675, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $0 and $50,000,000.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 7,152,580 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (1,299,597) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 5,852,983 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $828,272,537.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of paydowns on mortgage-backed securities and dollar rolls, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $4,720,122, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $4,720,122. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are 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 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 At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on proposals that including, among others, the following proposal(s): New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement.

AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, changes in net assets, 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, 2007, the results of its operations and its cash flows 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 three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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 financial highlights. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $1,050.90 $3.77 $1,021.53 $3.72 0.73% Series II 1,000.00 1,049.40 5.06 1,020.27 4.99 0.98
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 0% U.S. Treasury Obligations* 0.61%
* The above percentages are based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's fiscal year. AIM V.I.

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, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. High Yield Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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 a high level of current income. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. AIM V.I. High Yield Fund The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. LOWER-RATED SECURITIES -- The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., "junk bonds". Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors' claims. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the AIM V.I. High Yield Fund relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. L. SWAP AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts ("CDS") for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Interest rate, index, and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index. A CDS is an agreement between two parties ("Counterparties") to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying an upfront payment and/or a fixed payment over the life of the agreement to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver the corresponding bonds, or other similar bonds issued by the same reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the "par value", of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive an upfront payment and/or a fixed payment over the life of the agreement. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the corresponding bonds or similar bonds issued by the same reference entity. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. Because the CDS is a bilateral agreement between Counterparties, the transaction can alternatively be settled by a cash payment in the case of a credit event. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund amortizes upfront payments and/or accrues for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. M. 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 $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 certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.95% and Series II shares to 1.20% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market AIM V.I. High Yield Fund funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $110,948. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $137,978 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $504,583, which resulted in net realized gains of $291, and securities purchases of $229,171. AIM V.I. High Yield Fund 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $7,876. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,693 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 exceed 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $3,719,716 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $3,796,191 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $110,000 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties.

2007 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $3,896,677 $4,853,817 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 4,320,042 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed appreciation (depreciation) -- investments (2,315,021) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (36,822) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (10,225,025) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (222,077) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 60,369,677 ============================================================================ Total net assets $ 51,890,774 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on swap agreements. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of December 31, 2007 to utilizing $5,421,323 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. AIM V.I. High Yield Fund The Fund utilized $994,536 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes.

NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of swap agreements, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $33,867 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $33,867. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 13--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are 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 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 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including among others the following proposal(s). New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to AIM V.I. High Yield Fund utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory agreements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008.

High Yield Fund NOTE 16--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. AIM V.I. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. High Yield Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) ENDING EXPENSES BEGINNING ACCOUNT EXPENSES ENDING PAID ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $ 980.40 $ 4.84 $1,020.32 $4.94 0.97% Series II 1,000.00 979.50 6.09 1,019.06 6.21 1.22
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. High Yield Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 0%
* The above percentages are based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's fiscal year. AIM V.I.

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, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. International Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. International Growth Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. 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. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. AIM V.I. International 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 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 has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit net annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $69,947. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $257,727 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $2,573,878 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $6,992,473. 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $960. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $6,021 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market AIM V.I. International Growth Fund funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $3,169,568 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $3,315,553 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $452,596 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, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $5,871,797 $6,378,926 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Undistributed ordinary income $ 10,180,926 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Undistributed long-term gain 21,483,315 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 312,485,051 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Temporary book/tax differences (89,833) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Post-October currency loss deferral (83,980) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shares of beneficial interest 1,194,009,370 ============================================================================== Total net assets $1,537,984,849 ______________________________________________________________________________ ==============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the recognition of unrealized gains for tax purposes on passive foreign investment companies. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $8,021. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $20,815,286 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007. NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $855,239,734 and $205,985,556, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $330,437,226 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (17,960,196) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $312,477,030 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,231,501,428.
AIM V.I. International Growth Fund NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and foreign capital gain taxes, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $141,233 and undistributed net realized gain was increased by $141,233. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 44% 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 At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s): New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

AIM V.I. International Growth Fund NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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 financial highlights. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. International Growth Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $1,015.70 $5.44 $1,019.81 $5.45 1.07% Series II 1,000.00 1,014.70 6.70 1,018.55 6.72 1.32
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. International Growth Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 0.00%
* The above percentage is based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's fiscal year. FOREIGN TAX CREDIT For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the amount of income received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries and possessions of the United States was $0.4836 per share (representing a total of $21,616,021). Of the foreign source income, $0.3851 per share is considered qualified dividend income. Foreign source income with the required adjustments for qualified dividends is $0.2641 per share.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. 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. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. AIM V.I. Large Cap 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 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% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE - -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.695% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $250 million 0.67% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $500 million 0.645% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1.5 billion 0.62% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.595% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.57% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.545% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $10 billion 0.52% ___________________________________________________________________ ====================================================================
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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $92,307. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $296,781 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved 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, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $989,363. 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $752. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,887 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund 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, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $38,491 $201,184 _________________________________________________________________________________ =================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 8,356 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 33,194,773 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (38,982) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (8,739,411) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (13,251) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 105,918,498 ============================================================================ Total net assets $130,329,983 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(8). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $4,366,650 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, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $3,427,095 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 3,544,700 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2013 10,284 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2014 1,757,332 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $8,739,411 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* 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 June 12, 2006, the date of the reorganization of AIM V. I.

AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and expenses related to the plan of reorganization, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $2,996, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $8,552 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $5,556.

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 89% 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 opening of business on June 12, 2006, the Fund acquired all the net assets of AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Trustees of the Fund on November 14, 2005 and by shareholders of AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund on April 4, 2006. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 9,271,208 shares of the Fund for 16,731,926 shares of AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund as of the close of business on June 9, 2006. Each class of shares of AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund was exchanged for the like class of shares of the Fund based on the relative net asset value of AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund to the net asset value of the Fund on the close of business, June 9, 2006. AIM V.I. Blue Chip Fund's net assets as of the close of business on June 9, 2006 of $113,862,992 including $5,643,661 of unrealized appreciation were combined with the net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition of $9,848,334. The combined aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately following to the reorganization were $123,711,326. NOTE 12--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s). New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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 financial highlights. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $1,077.10 $5.29 $1,020.11 $5.14 1.01% Series II 1,000.00 1,075.80 6.59 1,018.85 6.41 1.26
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 100%
* The above percentage is based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's fiscal year. AIM V.I.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. Leisure Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2007 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 separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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 capital growth. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Leisure Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE FUND -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the AIM V.I. Leisure Fund amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the following annual rates of the Fund's average daily net assets:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE - ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $136,058. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $124,691 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. AIM V.I. Leisure Fund NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $327,059, which resulted in net realized gains of $146,201, and securities purchases of $2,898. 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $330. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,670 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. AIM V.I. Leisure Fund During the year ended December 31, 2007, 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 bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $997,378 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $1,042,535 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $2,546 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, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 975,708 $ 808,707 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 2,437,779 2,585,483 ====================================================================================== Total distributions $3,413,487 $3,394,190 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 766,717 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 4,520,706 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 7,734,564 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (12,698) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post October PFIC MTM deferral (12,000) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 29,605,323 =========================================================================== Total net assets $42,602,612 ___________________________________________________________________________ ===========================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the treatment of passive foreign investment companies. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $445. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007. AIM V.I. Leisure Fund NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $7,484,673 and $18,535,060, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 9,981,009 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (2,246,890) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 7,734,119 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $35,569,921.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and passive foreign investment companies, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $416,313, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $416,313. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There is an entity that is a record owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and it owns 99% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund's principal underwriter or advisor, are parties to participation agreements with this entity whereby this entity 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 this entity, 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. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by this entity are also owned beneficially. NOTE 13--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s): New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-Advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

Leisure Fund NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Leisure Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) ENDING ENDING BEGINNING ACCOUNT EXPENSES ACCOUNT EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE VALUE PAID DURING VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $ 916.20 $ 4.88 $1,020.11 $5.14 1.01% Series II 1,000.00 914.40 6.08 1,018.85 6.41 1.26
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Leisure Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Long-Term Capital Gain Dividends $2,437,779 Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 37.58%
* The above percentage is based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the fund's fiscal year. DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION Shareholders were sent a notice from the Fund that set forth an estimate on a per share basis of the source or sources from which the distribution was paid in December of 2007. Subsequently, certain of these estimates have been corrected. Listed below is a written statement of the sources of this distribution, as corrected, on a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis.

Please note that the information in the preceding chart is for financial accounting purposes only. Shareholders should be aware that the tax treatment of distributions likely differs from GAAP treatment. The tax treatment of distributions was set forth in a Form 1099-DIV for the 2007 calendar year.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements. AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. 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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $101,360. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $166,896 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,683,815 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in an 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, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity 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, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $663,475, which resulted in net realized gains of $32,909, and securities purchases of $2,665,907. 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $8,432. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $5,570 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $13,969,776 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $14,246,147 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $166,003 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties. 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 December 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 1,339,093 $13,589,126 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 9,619,231 55,006,949 ======================================================================================== Total distributions $10,958,324 $68,596,075 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ========================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 14,969,544 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 54,171,439 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 71,590,796 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (55,561) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October Capital loss deferral (88,488) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 524,098,556 ============================================================================ Total net assets $664,686,286 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies of $(853). The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007. NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $348,958,351 and $440,580,151, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 85,410,823 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (13,819,174) ============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 71,591,649 ______________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $613,667,845.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,246,646, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $-1,246,646. 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 entities that are 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 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 At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s). New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, INVESCO Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements") . This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

Mid Cap Core Equity Fund NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, Invesco Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $995.40 $5.03 $1,020.16 $5.09 1.00% Series II 1,000.00 994.30 6.28 1,018.90 6.36 1.25
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

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, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Money Market Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. 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 rade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly to separate accounts of participating insurance companies. Distributions from net realized gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these AIM V.I. Money Market Fund arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including the Fund's pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by the Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Eligible securities for collateral are securities consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and may consist of U.S. Government Securities, U.S. Government 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"). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income. 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 0.40% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) extraordinary items; (iv) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $87,152 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS 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 certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral AIM V.I. Money Market Fund accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,655 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 4--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. 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 bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 5--DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The tax character of distributions paid during the years December 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from ordinary income $2,114,184 $2,025,521 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 52,932 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (46,588) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 49,001,104 =========================================================================== Total net assets $49,007,448 ___________________________________________________________________________ ===========================================================================
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007. AIM V.I. Money Market Fund NOTE 6--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are 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. NOTE 7--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s). New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008.

NOTE 9--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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 financial highlights. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Money Market Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED SHARE ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $1,022.20 $4.43 $1,020.82 $4.43 0.87% Series II 1,000.00 1,020.90 5.71 1,019.56 5.70 1.12
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Money Market Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year -- end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 0%
* The above percentage is based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the fund's fiscal year. 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, 2007 NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. 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. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity 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 based on the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the following annual rates of the Fund's average daily net assets:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE - -------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.745% - -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.15% and Series II shares to 1.40% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $39,163. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $322,087 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $15,062,163, which resulted in net realized gains of $2,102,439, and securities purchases of $808,994. 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $1,337. NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,839 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. NOTE 7--BORROWINGS Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending facility that AIM has established for temporary borrowings by the AIM Funds. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the loan rate (an average of the rate available on bank loans and the rate available on investments in overnight repurchase agreements) is favorable to both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. A loan will be secured by collateral if the Fund's aggregate borrowings from all sources exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent that the loan is required to be secured by collateral, the collateral is marked to market daily to ensure that the market value is at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. The Fund is a party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund 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, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $7,113,253 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $7,280,225 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $26,551 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, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $1,375,449 $ 912,136 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 3,343,617 2,714,399 ====================================================================================== Total distributions $4,719,066 $3,626,535 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 562,820 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 115,434 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 12,238,814 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (22,863) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 155,423,675 ============================================================================ Total net assets $168,317,880 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the tax deferral of losses on certain straddles. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $9. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2007. AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund NOTE 10--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $120,561,308 and $55,919,185, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $24,845,603 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (12,606,798) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $12,238,805 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $162,889,751.
NOTE 11--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, passive foreign investment companies and expenses related to the plan of reorganization, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was increased by $257,894, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $249,214 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $8,680. Further, as a result of tax deferrals acquired in the reorganization of AIM V.I. Small Cap Growth Fund into the Fund, on May 1, 2007, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $8,815, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $134,237 and shares of beneficial interest increased by $143,052. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 12--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are 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) As of the open of business on May 1, 2007, the Fund acquired all the net assets of AIM V.I. Small Cap Growth Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Trustees of the Fund on December 13, 2006 and by the shareholders of AIM V.I. Small Cap Growth Fund on March 19, 2007. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 1,287,192 shares of the Fund for 1,239,952 shares outstanding of AIM V.I. Small Cap Growth Fund as of the close of business on April 30, 2007. Each class of shares of AIM V.I. Small Cap Growth Fund was exchanged for the like class of shares of the Fund based on the relative net asset value of AIM V.I. Small Cap Growth Fund to the net asset value of the Fund on the close of business, April 30, 2007. AIM V.I. Small Cap Growth Fund's net assets as of the close of business on April 30, 2007 of $20,603,661 including $2,935,720 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with the net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition of $103,924,887. The combined aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately following the reorganization were $124,528,548. AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund NOTE 13--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s). New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") (the "New Sub-advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. NOTE 14--FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The following schedule presents financial highlights for a share of the Fund outstanding throughout the periods indicated.

Small Cap Growth Fund into the Fund. NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund NOTE 15--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED) transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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 financial highlights. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $965.40 $5.50 $1,019.61 $5.65 1.11% Series II 1,000.00 964.10 6.73 1,018.35 6.92 1.36
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Long-Term Capital Gain Dividends $3,343,616 Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 52.48%
* The above percentages are based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's fiscal year. 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, 2007 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 separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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 capital growth. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Technology Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE FUND -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the AIM V.I. Technology Fund amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. L. COVERED CALL OPTIONS WRITTEN -- The Fund may write call options. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer (the Fund) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. Written call options are recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option written. 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. Realized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. 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. M. PUT OPTIONS PURCHASED -- The Fund may purchase put options including options on securities indexes and/or futures contracts. 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. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. 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. 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 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Effective July 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Prior to July 1, 2007 AIM had contractually waived advisory fees to the same reduced advisory fee schedule. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to AIM based on the following annual rates of the Fund's average daily net assets:
AVERAGE NET ASSETS RATE - ------------------------------------------------------------------- First $250 million 0.75% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. AIM did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $4,423. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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 AIM V.I. Technology Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $414,910 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $3,126,246, which resulted in net realized gains of $635,351, and securities purchases of $493,286. 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $4,639. AIM V.I. Technology Fund NOTE 6--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,034 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 8--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, securities with an aggregate value of $788,715 were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of $808,678 received by the Fund and subsequently invested in an affiliated money market fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $21,623 for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties.

AIM V.I. Technology Fund 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, 2007 and 2006. TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 26,220,708 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (44,279) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (443,796,498) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October capital loss deferral (316,728) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 576,805,296 ============================================================================= Total net assets $ 158,868,499 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales and the treatment of partnerships. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $261. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of December 31, 2007 to utilizing $442,360,803 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Fund utilized $13,418,361 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, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2008 $256,455,919 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 153,547,080 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2010 33,793,499 ============================================================================= Total capital loss carryforward $443,796,498 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* 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 11--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007, was $95,824,042 and $136,500,061, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $32,598,068 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (6,377,621) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $26,220,447 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $133,468,191.
NOTE 12--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, expiration of capital loss carryforward, and partnerships, on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $654,215, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $33,973,411 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $34,627,626. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. AIM V.I. Technology Fund NOTE 13--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 67% 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 14--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal(s): New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers") ("the New Sub-Advisory Arrangements"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory arrangements would not affect the fees the Fund pays pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

Technology Fund NOTE 16--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. 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, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the 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, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Technology Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $1,008.70 $5.62 $1,019.61 $5.65 1.11% Series II 1,000.00 1,007.40 6.88 1,018.35 6.92 1.36
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

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, 2007 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 separate portfolios, (each constituting a "Fund"). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class. The 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 objectives are capital growth and current income. A. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations, the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer's assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds as received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investments still held. AIM V.I. Utilities Fund Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund's total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the advisor. The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. C. COUNTRY DETERMINATION -- For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, AIM may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America unless otherwise noted. D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for tax periods after 2003. F. EXPENSES -- Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. G. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. INDEMNIFICATIONS -- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust's investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. I. RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE FUND -- The Fund's investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund's investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. J. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (i) sales of foreign currencies, (ii) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (iii) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Taxes are accrued based on the Fund's current interpretation of tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. K. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When these contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risk, which may be in excess of the AIM V.I. Utilities Fund amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. NOTE 2--ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FEES PAID TO AFFILIATES The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM based on the annual rate of 0.60% 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 0.93% and Series II shares to 1.18% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2009. In determining the advisor's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees; and (vi) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Currently, in addition to the expense reimbursement arrangement with Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") described more fully below, the only expense offset arrangements from which the Fund may benefit are in the form of credits that the Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by the Fund. Further, effective July 1, 2007, AIM has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2009, to waive 100% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds (excluding investments made in affiliated money market funds with cash collateral from securities loaned by the Fund). Prior to July 1, 2007, AIM had voluntarily agreed to waive 25% of the advisory fee AIM receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund in such affiliated money market funds. For the year ended December 31, 2007, AIM waived advisory fees of $8,164. At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the AIM Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Invesco did not reimburse any expenses. The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with AIM pursuant to which the Fund 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, 2007, AIM was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $354,040 for services provided by insurance companies. The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay AIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse AIS for certain expenses incurred by AIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees. The Trust has entered into a master 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 the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of AIM, AIS and/or ADI. NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Fund is permitted, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, to invest daily available cash balances and cash collateral from securities lending transactions in affiliated money market funds. The Fund and the money market funds below have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in affiliated money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the period each investment maintained a $1.00 net asset value, as such there is no realized gain/(loss) and no change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

* Net of compensation to counterparties. NOTE 4--EXPENSE OFFSET 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, 2007, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $178. NOTE 5--TRUSTEES' AND OFFICER'S FEES AND BENEFITS "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various AIM Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. "Trustees' and Officer's Fees and Benefits" include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,975 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 party to an uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $125,000,000, or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM, which are parties to the credit facility, can borrow on a first come, first served basis. Principal on each loan outstanding shall bear interest at the bid rate quoted by SSB at the time of the request for the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not borrow or lend under the interfund lending facility or borrow under the uncommitted unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and AIM, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. NOTE 7--PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds. It is the Fund's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2007, there were no securities out on loan. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund received dividends on cash collateral investments of $28,208 for securities lending transactions during the period, which are net of compensation to counterparties. AIM V.I. Utilities Fund 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, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
2007 2006 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $ 3,761,176 $4,388,965 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gain 6,594,335 2,710,807 ======================================================================================= Total distributions $10,355,511 $7,099,772 _______________________________________________________________________________________ =======================================================================================
TAX COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS: As of December 31, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
2007 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed ordinary income $ 3,096,064 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed long-term gain 11,180,432 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation -- investments 52,652,128 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary book/tax differences (47,435) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss carryforward (1,839,286) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-October currency loss deferral (128) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares of beneficial interest 93,998,840 ============================================================================ Total net assets $159,040,615 ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund's net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to losses on wash sales. The tax-basis net unrealized appreciation on investments amount includes appreciation on foreign currencies of $6,171. The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund's temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits. Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited as of December 31, 2007 to utilizing $919,643 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Fund utilized $919,643 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, 2007 which expires as follows:
CAPITAL LOSS EXPIRATION CARRYFORWARD* - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2009 $1,839,286 _____________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================
* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 9--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $43,961,629 and $48,636,473, respectively.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES ON A TAX BASIS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $53,252,966 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (607,009) =============================================================================== Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities $52,645,957 _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== Cost of investments for tax purposes is $106,361,675.
AIM V.I. Utilities Fund NOTE 10--RECLASSIFICATION OF PERMANENT DIFFERENCES Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions on December 31, 2007, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $1,790 and undistributed net realized gain was increased by $1,790. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. NOTE 11--SHARE INFORMATION

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate they own 57% 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 12--SIGNIFICANT EVENT At a meeting held on December 13, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved certain proposals to be presented for shareholder approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Trust intended to be held on February 29, 2008 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2007, are entitled to vote their respective shares on several proposals that including, among others the following proposal. New proposed sub-advisory agreement between A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and each of AIM Funds Management Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (collectively, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers"). This proposal is intended to benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting AIM to utilize the additional resources and talent of these affiliated sub-advisers in managing the Fund. Because AIM would pay all of the sub-advisory fees of the sub-advisers, the new sub-advisory agreement would not affect the fees the Fund pays to AIM pursuant to the advisory agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Sub-advisory Arrangements are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2008. AIM V.I.

Utilities Fund NOTE 14--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note. PENDING LITIGATION AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor -- Securities Commission ("WVASC") issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") and A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI") (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that AIM and ADI entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the AIM Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that AIM and ADI violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders AIM and ADI to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, AIM's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain of the AIM Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG") (the former investment advisor to certain AIM Funds), AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging: - that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds; and - that certain AIM Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege as theories of recovery, depending on the lawsuit, violations of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws and ERISA, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and/or breach of contract. These lawsuits seek remedies that include, depending on the lawsuit, damages, restitution, injunctive relief, imposition of a constructive trust, removal of certain directors and/or employees, various corrective measures under ERISA, rescission of certain AIM Funds' advisory agreements and/or distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the "MDL Court"). Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various AIM- and IFG-related parties: (i) a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of shareholders of the AIM Funds; (ii) a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint purportedly brought on behalf of the AIM Funds and fund registrants; and (iii) an Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA") purportedly brought on behalf of participants in Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") 401(k) plan. Based on orders issued by the MDL Court, all claims asserted against the AIM Funds that have been transferred to the MDL Court have been dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint. On September 15, 2006, the MDL Court granted the Invesco defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of ERISA and dismissed such Complaint. The plaintiff has commenced an appeal from that decision. IFG, AIM, ADI and/or related entities and individuals have received inquiries from numerous regulators in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, among others, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies, contractual plans, issues related to Section 529 college savings plans and procedures for locating lost security holders. IFG, AIM and ADI have advised the Fund that they are providing full cooperation with respect to these inquiries. Regulatory actions and/or additional civil lawsuits related to these or other issues may be filed against the AIM Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. At the present time, management of AIM and the Fund are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described above may have on AIM, ADI or the Fund. AIM V.I. Utilities Fund REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds and Shareholders of AIM V. I. Utilities 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. Utilities Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP February 12, 2008 Houston, Texas AIM V.I. Utilities Fund CALCULATING YOUR ONGOING FUND EXPENSES EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
HYPOTHETICAL (5% ANNUAL RETURN BEFORE ACTUAL EXPENSES) BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES ENDING EXPENSES ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING ACCOUNT VALUE PAID DURING EXPENSE CLASS (07/01/07) (12/31/07)(1) PERIOD(2) (12/31/07) PERIOD(2) RATIO Series I $1,000.00 $1,069.90 $4.85 $1,020.52 $4.74 0.93% Series II 1,000.00 1,069.10 6.15 1,019.26 6.01 1.18
(1) The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund's expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. (2) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. AIM V.I. Utilities Fund TAX INFORMATION Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors. The following distribution information is being provided as required by the Internal Revenue Code or to meet a specific state's requirement. The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007: FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX Long-Term Capital Gain Dividends $6,594,335 Corporate Dividends Received Deduction* 87.48%
* The above percentage is based on ordinary income dividends paid to shareholders during the Fund's fiscal year. 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 18, 2006 STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") ("Rules"), the Audit Committees of the Funds' (the "Audit Committee") Board of Trustees (the "Board") are responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of independent accountants (an "Auditor"). As part of this responsibility and to assure that the Auditor's independence is not impaired, the Audit Committees pre-approve the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by each Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Funds' investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds ("Service Affiliates") if the services directly impact the Funds' operations or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations. Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committees ("general pre-approval") or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees ("specific pre-approval"). As set forth in these policies and procedures, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committees. Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will also consider the impact of additional fees on the Auditor's independence when determining whether to approve any additional fees for previously pre-approved services. The Audit Committees will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be provided by each Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval through September 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committees consider a different period and state otherwise. The Audit Committees will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit Committees in fulfilling their responsibilities. DELEGATION The Audit Committees may from time to time delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members who are Independent Trustees. All decisions to pre-approve a service by a delegated member shall be reported to the Audit Committee at its next quarterly meeting. AUDIT SERVICES The annual audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds' financial statements. The Audit Committee will obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor's qualifications and independence. In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committees may grant either general or specific pre-approval of other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include services such as issuing consents for the inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings. NON-AUDIT SERVICES The Audit Committees may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committees believe that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SEC's Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committee's general principles and policies as set forth herein. AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES "Audit-related services" are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund's financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as "Audit services"; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; and agreed-upon procedures related to mergers, compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities. TAX SERVICES "Tax services" include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds' federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committee will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy. No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims. Under rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC, in connection with seeking Audit Committee pre-approval of permissible Tax services, the Auditor shall: 1. Describe in writing to the Audit Committees, which writing may be in the form of the proposed engagement letter: a. The scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the Fund, relating to the service; and b. Any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor and any person (other than the Fund) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service; 2. Discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor; and 3. Document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committees. ALL OTHER AUDITOR SERVICES The Audit Committees may pre-approve non-audit services classified as "All other services" that are not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy. PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS OR ESTABLISHED AMOUNTS Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit Committees. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit Committees at the quarterly Audit Committees meeting and will require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committee will always factor in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services. PROCEDURES On an annual basis, A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM") will submit to the Audit Committees for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other information as the Audit Committee may request. Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees will be submitted to the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees. The Audit Committees will be informed at the next quarterly scheduled Audit Committees meeting of any such services for which the Auditor rendered an invoice and whether such services and fees had been pre-approved and if so, by what means. Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committees shall be submitted to the Audit Committees jointly by the Fund's Treasurer or his or her designee and the Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with the policies and procedures and the SEC Rules. Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees will describe in writing: (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the audit client, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement between the Auditor and any person (other than the audit client) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the Auditor's independence and will document the substance of the discussion. Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committees for approval, including documentation that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied. On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services. The Audit Committees have designated the Funds' Treasurer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies and procedures. The Funds' Treasurer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis as to the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds' Treasurer and management of AIM will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of these policies and procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds' Treasurer or senior management of AIM. 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) - Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the audit client - Financial information systems design and implementation - Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports - Actuarial services - Internal audit outsourcing services CATEGORICALLY PROHIBITED NON-AUDIT SERVICES - Management functions - Human resources - Broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services - Legal services - Expert services unrelated to the audit - Any service or product provided for a contingent fee or a commission - Services related to marketing, planning, or opining in favor of the tax treatment of confidential transactions or aggressive tax position transactions, a significant purpose of which is tax avoidance - Tax services for persons in financial reporting oversight roles at the Fund - Any other service that the Public Company Oversight Board determines by regulation is impermissible.

EXHIBIT - CODE OF ETHICS DISCLOSURE CONTROLS PROCEDURES THE AIM FAMILY OF FUNDS CODE OF ETHICS FOR SENIOR OFFICERS I. INTRODUCTION The Boards of Directors/Trustees ("Board") of The AIM Family of Funds (the "Companies") have adopted this code of ethics (this "Code") applicable to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer (the "Covered Officers") of each Company to promote: - honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; - full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications; - compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; - the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and - accountability for adherence to the Code. II. COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD ACT HONESTLY AND CANDIDLY Each Covered Officer owes a duty to the Companies to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Deceit and subordination of principle are inconsistent with integrity. Each Covered Officer must: - act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information where required by law or the Companies' policies; - observe both the form and spirit of laws and governmental rules and regulations, accounting standards and policies of the Companies; - adhere to a high standard of business ethics; and - place the interests of the Companies before the Covered Officer's own personal interests. Business practices Covered Officers should be guided by and adhere to these fiduciary standards. III. COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD HANDLE ETHICALLY ACTUAL AND APPARENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST GUIDING PRINCIPLES. A "conflict of interest" occurs when an individual's private interest interferes with the interests of the Companies. A conflict of interest can arise when a Covered Officer takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Companies objectively and effectively. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member or his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in any of the Companies. In addition, investment companies should be sensitive to situations that create apparent, but not actual, conflicts of interest. Service to the Companies should never be subordinated to personal gain and advantage. Certain conflicts of interest covered by this Code arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Companies that already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment 1 Company Act of 1940, as amended and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Therefore, as to the existing statutory and regulatory prohibitions on individual behavior, they will be deemed to be incorporated in this Code and therefore any material violation will also be deemed a violation of this Code. Covered Officers must in all cases comply with applicable statutes and regulations. As to conflicts arising from, or as a result of the contractual relationship between, the Companies and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees, it is recognized by the Board that, subject to the adviser's fiduciary duties to the Companies, the Covered Officers will in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Companies or for the adviser, or for both) be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on the adviser and the Companies. The Board recognizes that the participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Companies and the adviser and is consistent with the expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Companies. In addition, it is recognized by the Board that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of other investment companies advised by the same adviser and the codes which apply to senior officers of those investment companies will apply to the Covered Officers acting in those distinct capacities. Each Covered Officer must: - avoid conflicts of interest wherever possible; - handle any actual or apparent conflict of interest ethically; - not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by an investment company whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of any of the Companies; - not cause an investment company to take action, or fail to take action, for the personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of such company; - not use knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for an investment company to profit or cause others to profit, by the market effect of such transactions; and - as described in more detail below, discuss any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest with the Chief Legal Officer of the AIM Funds (the "Chief Legal Officer"). Some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed with the Chief Legal Officer, if material, include the following: - any outside business activity that detracts from an individual's ability to devote appropriate time and attention to his or her responsibilities with the Companies; - being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay or benefit of any immediate family member; - any direct ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Companies' service providers, other than its investment adviser, distributor or other AMVESCAP affiliated entities and other than a de minimis ownership interest (for purposes of this section of the Code an ownership interest of 1% or less shall constitute a de minimis ownership interest, and an ownership interest of more than 1% creates a rebuttable presumption that there may be a material conflict of interest); and - a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Companies for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares, other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment with AIM, its subsidiaries, its parent organizations and any affiliates or subsidiaries thereof, such as compensation or equity ownership, and other than an interest arising from a de minimis ownership interest in a company 2 with which the Companies execute portfolios transactions or a company that receives commissions or other fees related to its sales and redemptions of shares of the Companies (for purposes of this section of the Code an ownership interest of 1% or less shall constitute a de minimis ownership interest, and an ownership interest of more than 1% creates a rebuttable presumption that there may be a material conflict of interest). IV. DISCLOSURE Each Covered Officer is required to be familiar, and comply, with the Companies' disclosure controls and procedures so that the Companies' subject reports and documents filed with the SEC comply in all material respects with the applicable federal securities laws and SEC rules. In addition, each Covered Officer having direct or supervisory authority regarding these SEC filings or the Companies' other public communications should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Companies and take other appropriate steps regarding these disclosures with the goal of making full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure. Each Covered Officer must: - familiarize himself/herself with the disclosure requirements applicable to the Companies as well as the business and financial operations of the Companies; and - not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Companies to others, whether within or outside the Companies, including representations to the Companies' internal auditors, independent Directors/Trustees, independent auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations. V. COMPLIANCE It is the Companies' policy to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. It is the personal responsibility of each Covered Officer to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by those laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to affiliated transactions, accounting and auditing matters. VI. REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY Each Covered Officer must: - upon receipt of the Code, sign and submit to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Companies an acknowledgement stating that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code. - annually thereafter submit a form to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Companies confirming that he or she has received, read and understands the Code and has complied with the requirements of the Code. - not retaliate against any employee or other Covered Officer for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith. - notify the Chief Legal Officer promptly if he becomes aware of any existing or potential violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code. Except as described otherwise below, the Chief Legal Officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented to him or her and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. The Chief Legal Officer shall take all action he or she considers appropriate to investigate any actual or potential violations reported to him or her. 3 The Chief Legal Officer is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with the Chairman of the Audit Committees of the Board, counsel to the Companies and counsel to the independent Directors/Trustees, and is encouraged to do so. The Chief Legal Officer is responsible for granting waivers and determining sanctions, as appropriate. In addition, approvals, interpretations, or waivers sought by the Covered Officers may also be considered by the Chairman of the AIM Funds Audit Committees. The Companies will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code, and in reporting on the Code: - the Chief Legal Officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any violations reported to him or her; - violations and potential violations will be reported to the Chairman of the Audit Committees of the Board after such investigation; - if the Chairman of the Audit Committees determines that a violation has occurred, he or she will inform the Board, which will take all appropriate disciplinary or preventive action; - appropriate disciplinary or preventive action may include a letter of censure, suspension, dismissal or, in the event of criminal or other serious violations of law, notification to the SEC or other appropriate law enforcement authorities; - the Chief Legal Officer will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and - any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed on Form N-CSR as provided by SEC rules. VII.
