NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 29, 2000
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Short-Term Investments Trust (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end series, diversified management
investment company. The Fund is organized as a Delaware business trust
consisting of three different portfolios, each of which offers separate series
of shares: the Treasury TaxAdvantage Portfolio, the Government & Agency
Portfolio and the Treasury Portfolio. Information presented in these financial
statements pertains only to the Treasury TaxAdvantage Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") with the assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio
accounted for separately. The Portfolio currently offers six different classes
of shares: the Institutional Class, the Private Investment Class, the Personal
Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource
Class. Sales of the Personal Investment Class and the Reserve Class have not
yet commenced. Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the
shareholders of each class. The Portfolio is a money market fund whose
investment objective is the maximization of current income to the extent
consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of these
financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The
following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the
Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations - The Portfolio's securities are valued on the basis of
   amortized cost which approximates market value. This method values a
   security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assumes a
   constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
B. Securities Transactions, Investment Income and Distributions - Securities
   transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or
   losses are computed on the basis of specific identification of the
   securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
   discounts on investments, is accrued daily. Dividends to shareholders are
   declared daily and are paid on the first business day of the following
   month.
C. Federal Income Taxes - The Portfolio intends to comply with the requirements
   of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment
   company and, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on
   otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gains) which is
   distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income
   taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
D. Expenses - Distribution expenses directly attributable to a class of shares
   are charged to that class' operations. All other expenses which are
   attributable to more than one class are allocated among the classes.

NOTE 2-ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M
Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the master investment advisory
agreement, AIM receives a monthly fee with respect to the Portfolio calculated
by applying a monthly rate, based upon the following annual rates, to the
average daily net assets of the Portfolio:

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

   During the six months ended February 29, 2000, AIM waived advisory fees of
$123,553 and reimbursed fees of $30,284.
   The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM,
has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing
accounting services to the Fund. During the six months ended February 29, 2000,
AIM was paid $24,863 for such services.

                                       7
<PAGE>

   The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to
pay A I M Fund Services, Inc. ("AFS") a fee for providing transfer agent and
shareholder services to the Fund. During the six months ended February 29,
2000, AFS was paid $9,637 for such services.
   Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between Fund Management
Company ("FMC") and the Fund, FMC acts as the exclusive distributor of the
Fund's shares. The Fund has adopted a master distribution plan (the "Plan")
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Private
Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the
Reserve Class, and the Resource Class of the Portfolio. The Plan provides that
the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash
Management Class, the Reserve Class, and the Resource Class pay up to a 0.50%,
0.75%, 0.10%, 1.00%, and 0.20%, respectively, maximum annual rate of the
average daily net assets attributable to such class. Of this amount, the Fund
may pay an asset-based sales charge to FMC and the Fund may pay a service fee
of (a) 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each of the Private Investment
Class, the Personal Investment Class, and the Reserve Class, (b) 0.10% of the
average daily net assets of the Cash Management Class and (c) 0.20% of the
average daily net assets of the Resource Class, to selected banks, broker-
dealers and other financial institutions who offer continuing personal
shareholder services to their customers who purchase and own shares of the
Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management
Class, the Reserve Class, or the Resource Class. Any amounts not paid as a
service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. The
Plan also imposes a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-
based sales charges, that may be paid by the Portfolio with respect to each
class. Currently, FMC has elected to waive a portion of its compensation
payable by the Fund such that the compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with
respect to the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the
Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, and the Resource Class equals 0.25%,
0.50%, 0.08%, 0.80% and 0.16%, respectively, maximum annual rate of the average
daily net assets attributable to such class. During the six months ended
February 29, 2000, the Private Investment Class, the Cash Management Class and
the Resource Class paid $58,027, $91 and $614, respectively, as compensation
under the Plan. FMC waived fees of $58,203 for the same period.
   Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers of AIM, FMC and AFS.
   During the six months ended February 29, 2000, the Fund paid legal fees of
$1,092 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as
counsel to the Board of Trustees. A member of that firm is a trustee of the
Fund.

NOTE 3-TRUSTEES' FEES

Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to trustees who are not an
"interested person" of AIM. The Fund may invest trustees' fees, if so elected
by a trustee, in mutual fund shares in accordance with a deferred compensation
plan.

NOTE 4-SHARE INFORMATION
