SHAREHOLDERS                              In September testimony before Congress, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan
                    deemed this policy successful and offered the following optimistic assessment of the economy: "The          
November 6, 1995    available statistical indicators for the current quarter are consistent with a firmer pace of economic 
                    growth."                                                                                                
                    
                    YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO                                                           

                    During the reporting period, the TFIC Cash Reserve Portfolio maintained its strict investment discipline. The
                    Portfolio continues to hold a AAAm credit quality rating, the highest given by Standard & Poor's Corporation, a
                    widely known credit rating agency. The AAAm rating is historical and is based on annual analysis of the
                    Portfolio's credit quality, composition, management, and weekly portfolio review. As with any money market fund,
                    an investment in the Cash Reserve Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government, and there
                    can be no assurance the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
                      The 1994 bankruptcy of Orange County, California, has had little impact on short-term tax-free money markets,
                    as issues continue to trade in their normal ranges. At this time, TFIC Cash Reserve Portfolio has chosen not to
                    invest in the California market. The Fund invests only in securities rated "First Tier" as defined in Rule 2a-7
                    of the the Investment Company Act of 1940.
                      Given stable interest rates, portfolio managers lengthened the weighted average maturity of holdings. During
                    April, the first month of the reporting period, the portfolio's weighted maturity averaged 24.2 days. That
                    figure was extended to 50.1 days as of September 30. For the Institutional Cash Reserve Shares, this strategy
                    produced a 30-day average yield in September of 3.67%, out-performing similar funds tracked by IBC/Donoghue's
                    Money Fund Averages(TM), as shown in the chart on the following page. At the close of the reporting period, net
                    assets of the Institutional Cash Reserve Shares of Cash Reserve Portfolio were $1.024 billion, up from $1.01
                    billion six months earlier.
                                                                                                        
                    OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE                                                              

                    As the reporting period ended, inflation seemed firmly under control and economic signals were generally
                    encouraging. The Federal Reserve Board prepared a basically upbeat economic review in advance of its September
                    26 meeting, where it left the federal funds rate unchanged, saying that "sustained expansion at a moderate pace
                    was seen as the most likely course for the economy." Such a relatively optimistic outlook allows the Cash
                    Reserve Portfolio to maintain a relatively long weighted average maturity that seeks to maximize available yield
                    without sacrificing liquidity or exposing the Fund to additional net asset value risk.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS:
(a) Ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") and Moody's
    Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's").
(b) Demand security; payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time
    intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rates are redetermined
    periodically. Rates shown are the rates in effect on September 30, 1995.
(c) Security is secured by a letter of credit.
(d) Security is secured by bond insurance.
(e) The Fund may invest in synthetic municipal instruments the value of and
    return on which are derived from underlying securities. The types of
    synthetic municipal instruments in which the Fund may invest include
    variable rate instruments. These instruments involve the deposit into a
    trust of one or more long-term tax-exempt bonds or notes ("Underlying
    Bonds"), and the sale of certificates evidencing interests in the trust to
    investors such as the Fund. The trustee receives the long-term fixed rate
    interest payments on the Underlying Bonds, and pays certificate holders
    short-term floating or variable interest rates which are reset
    periodically. A "variable rate trust certificate" evidences an interest in
    a trust entitling the certificate holder to receive variable rate interest
    based on prevailing short-term interest rates and also typically providing
    the certificate holder with the conditional right to put its certificate at
    par value plus accrued interest. Because synthetic municipal instruments
    involve a trust and a third party conditional put feature, they involve
    complexities and potential risks that may not be present where a municipal
    security is owned directly.
(f) Security has an outstanding call or mandatory put by the issuer. Par value
    and maturity date reflect such call or put.
(g) Security is secured by an escrow fund.
(h) Unrated security; determined by the directors to be of comparable quality
    to the rated determination of quality adopted by the Board of Directors and
    followed by the investment advisor.
(i) Cost for federal income tax purposes is $1,098,923,738.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 1995
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Tax-Free Investments Co. (the "Company") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The Company is organized as a Maryland
corporation consisting of one portfolio, the Cash Reserve Portfolio (the
"Fund"). The Fund consists of two different classes of shares, the
Institutional Cash Reserve Shares ("Institutional Shares") and the Private
Investment Class.
 The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Securities Valuations - The Fund uses the amortized cost method of valuing
   investment portfolio securities which has been determined by the Board of
   Directors of the Company to represent the fair value of the Fund's
   investments.
B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Securities transactions are
   recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization
   of premiums and, when appropriate, discounts on investments, is earned from
   settlement date and is recorded on the accrual basis. Interest income is
   allocated to each class daily, based upon each class' pro rata share of the
   total shares of the Fund outstanding. Discounts, other than original issue,
   on short-term obligations are amortized to unrealized appreciation for
   financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities
   transactions are computed on the basis of specific identification of the
   securities sold.
C. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - It is the policy of the Fund
   to declare daily dividends from net investment income. Such dividends are
   paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are
   declared and paid annually. Net capital gains cannot be distributed to the
   extent they can be offset by any capital loss carryovers of the Fund.
D. Federal Income Taxes - The Fund 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. The Fund has a capital loss
   carryforward of $97,086 (which may be carried forward to offset future
   taxable gains, if any) which expires, if not previously utilized, through
   the year 2003. The Fund cannot distribute capital gains to shareholders
   until the tax loss carryforwards have been utilized. In addition, the Fund
   intends to invest in sufficient municipal securities to allow it to qualify
   to pay "exempt interest dividends," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code,
   to shareholders.
E. Expenses - Operating expenses directly attributable to a class are charged
   to that class' operations. Expenses which are applicable to both classes,
   e.g., advisory fees, are allocated between them.
 
                                       24

NOTE 2 - ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Company has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M
Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the master investment advisory
agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to AIM at the annual rate of 0.25% of
the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets plus 0.20% of the
Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. AIM will, if
necessary, reduce its fees for any fiscal year to the extent required so that
the amount of ordinary expenses of each class (excluding interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) paid or incurred by each
class for such fiscal year does not exceed the applicable expense limitations
imposed by securities regulations in any state or jurisdiction in which the
Company's shares are qualified for sale.
 AIM has voluntarily agreed to reduce its fee from the Fund to the extent
necessary so that the amount of ordinary expenses of the Institutional Shares
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, directors' fees,
extraordinary expenses and federal registration fees) paid or incurred by the
Institutional Shares does not exceed 0.20% of the Institutional Shares' average
daily net assets. As a result, AIM's advisory fee on the Private Investment
Class is reduced in the same proportion as the Institutional Shares. For the
six months ended September 30, 1995, AIM reduced its fees from the Fund by
$329,509. AIM also assumed expenses of $16,000 on the Private Investment Class
during the same period.
 The Company has entered into a master distribution agreement with Fund
Management Company ("FMC") for the distribution of shares of the Institutional
Shares and the Private Investment Class. The Company has also adopted a
distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with
respect to the Private Investment Class. The Plan provides that the Private
Investment Class may pay up to a 0.50% maximum annual rate of the Private
Investment Class' average daily net assets. Of this amount, the Fund may pay an
asset-based sales charge to FMC and the Fund may pay a service fee of 0.25% of
the average daily net assets of the Private Investment Class to selected
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. 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 Fund with respect to the Private Investment Class. During
the six months ended September 30, 1995, the Private Investment Class paid
$38,288 as compensation under the Plan.
 The Fund, pursuant to the Company's master investment advisory agreement with
AIM, has agreed to reimburse AIM for certain costs incurred in providing
accounting services to the Fund. During the six months ended September 30,
1995, the Fund reimbursed AIM $40,080 for such services. Effective July 1,
1995, A I M Institutional Fund Services, Inc. ("AIFS") became the exclusive
transfer agent of the Fund and was paid $702 for transfer agency services
during the three months ended September 30, 1995. Certain officers and
directors of the Company are directors or officers of AIM, AIFS and FMC.
 During the six months ended September 30, 1995, the Fund paid legal fees of
$3,287 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis, Nessen, Kamin &
Frankel as counsel to the Board of Directors. A member of that firm is a
director of the Company.
 
NOTE 3 - DIRECTORS' FEES

Directors' fees represent remuneration paid or accrued to each director who is
not an "interested person" of AIM. The Company may invest directors' fees, if
so elected by a director, in mutual fund shares in accordance with a deferred
compensation plan.
