[AIM LOGO APPEARS HERE]        Dear Shareholder:

             [PHOTO of        As the end of the fiscal year arrived on
          Charles T. Bauer,   March 31, 1999, the U.S. economy continued to
           Chairman of the    move ahead at a brisk pace. After growing in the
LETTER    Board of the Fund   final quarter of 1998 at the fastest rate in two-
TO OUR     APPEARS HERE       and-a-half years, total gross domestic product
SHAREHOLDERS                  (GDP) growth results for 1998 remained at 3.9%.
              Throughout the second half of 1998, markets around the globe
              experienced economic turmoil, financial instability and increased
              credit concerns. Certain regions, particularly Asia, Russia and
              Latin America, suffered from a severe downturn as their economies
              fought to stay afloat. Financial markets in the United States and
              Europe were also affected by the downturn, but surprisingly strong
              growth continued in both economies.
                As a result of the global meltdown, the Federal Reserve Board
              (the Fed) reduced the federal funds rate from 5.5% to 4.75%. A 25
              basis point rate cut was approved at both the September and
              November Fed policy meetings, as well as an unexpected 25 basis
              point cut between those two regularly scheduled meetings. The
              discount rate was also reduced from 5% to 4.5% during that period.
              The lowering of interest rates was not done solely to stimulate an
              already strong U.S. economy, but also to minimize the impact of
              the international economic crisis upon the U.S. economy, to
              decrease volatility, and to calm the financial markets.
                The yield on the one-year Treasury bill, which was as high as
              5.32% in early July of 1998, dropped to 4.37% in early December.
              The yield dropped because of investors' increased demand for
              Treasury securities in a "flight to quality" investment
              environment resulting from the international crises and credit
              concerns.
                The municipal market continued to suffer from a lack of supply
              over the last six months of the reporting period because the
              strong financial position of local governments reduced their need
              to issue new securities. Demand remained strong and yields in the
              tax-free market dropped into the 3% range for one-year notes.
              Spreads widened between tax-free and Treasury bill yields. The
              tax-free yield curve remained flat as investors expected a steady
              Fed policy.

                The Portfolio holds the highest credit-quality ratings given by
              three widely known credit-rating agencies. It continues to be
              rated AAAm by Standard & Poor's Corporation and Aaa by Moody's
              Investors Service, Inc. In addition, shortly before the fiscal
              year closed, the Portfolio received the highest rating, AAA,
              granted by Fitch IBCA, Inc. These ratings are historical and are
              based on an analysis of the Portfolio's credit quality,
              composition, management and weekly portfolio reviews. With the
              addition of the AAA Fitch rating, AIM became the largest multi-
              fund complex to have all of its institutional money market
              portfolios given the highest rating by three different rating
              agencies.
                Cash Reserve Portfolio seeks to generate as high a level of
              federally tax-exempt income as is consistent with preservation of
              capital and maintenance of liquidity by investing in high-quality,
              short-term municipal obligations. It invests solely in securities
              rated "First Tier" as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
              Company Act of 1940. Net assets of the Institutional Class of the
              Portfolio stood at nearly $1.1 billion at the end of the reporting
              period.
                An investment in a money market fund such as Cash Reserve
              Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
              Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.
              Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your
              investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money
              investing in the Fund.

              OUTLOOK

              As the first quarter of 1999 came to a close, the U.S. economy
              continued to show strong growth with little or no inflationary
              pressures. GDP growth for the first quarter was expected to weaken
              from the 6% level posted in the fourth quarter of 1998 but still
              remain in the solid 3% to 4% range. Although oil prices surged
              about $5 per barrel during the closing weeks of the fiscal year,
              there is little evidence of inflationary tendencies. Therefore,
              the markets have adjusted their expectations to a steady Fed
              policy over the next few months. Tax-free yields have backed up
              during the tax season but are expected to level out in the 3%
              range in the near future.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS:
(a) Ratings assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and
    Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"). Ratings are not covered by
    Independent Auditors' Report.
(b) Demand security: payable upon demand by the Fund at specified intervals no
    greater than thirteen months. Interest rates are redetermined periodically.
    Rates shown are the rates in effect on 03/31/99.
(c) Secured by a letter of credit.
(d) Secured by bond insurance.
(e) Subject to an irrevocable call or mandatory put by the issuer. Par value
    and maturity date reflect such call or put.
(f) The Fund may invest in synthetic municipal instruments of which the value
    of and return on 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 they may not be present where a municipal
    security is owned directly.
(g) Secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Treasury obligations.
(h) Also represents cost for federal income tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1999

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 currently offers six different classes of shares, the
Institutional Class ("Institutional Class"), the Private Investment Class, the
Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the
Resource Class. Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the
shareholders of each class. The investment objective of the Fund is to generate
as high a level of tax-exempt income as is consistent with preservation of
capital and maintenance of liquidity.
 The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. 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 the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. Realized gains and losses from securities
   transactions are computed on the basis of specific identification of the
   securities sold. 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. On March 31, 1999, paid in capital was increased by $83,493 and
   undistributed net realized gains was decreased by $83,493 in order to comply
   with the requirements of the American Institute of Certified Public
   Accountants Statement of Position 93-2. Net assets of the fund were
   unaffected by the reclassifications discussed above.
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. Net realized capital gains (including net short-term capital
   gains and market discounts), if any, are distributed annually.
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 $77,230 (which may be carried forward to offset future
   taxable gains, if any) which expires, if not previously utilized, through
   the year 2004. 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 - 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 between the classes.

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 has voluntarily agreed to reduce its fee from the Fund to the extent
necessary so that the amount of ordinary expenses of the Institutional Class
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, directors' fees,
extraordinary expenses and federal registration fees) paid or incurred by the
Institutional Class does not exceed 0.20% of the Institutional Class' average
daily net assets. As a result, AIM's advisory fee on the Private Investment
Class and the Cash Management Class, are reduced in the same proportion as the
Institutional Class. For the year ended March 31, 1999, AIM reduced its
advisory fee from the Fund by $809,773.
 The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with AIM, has
agreed to reimburse AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing
accounting services to the Fund. During the year ended March 31, 1999, the Fund
reimbursed AIM $86,020 for such services.

                                       21
<PAGE>

 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, 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 Fund with respect to each class.
During the year ended March 31, 1999, the Private Investment Class and the Cash
Management Class paid $214,255 and $1,888, respectively, as compensation to FMC
under the Plan. FMC waived fee of $214,727 during the same period.
 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  year ended March 31, 1999, the
Fund paid AFS $97,188 for such services.
 During the year ended March 31, 1999, the Fund paid legal fees of $5,333 for
services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & 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.

NOTE 4 - CAPITAL STOCK
Changes in capital stock outstanding during the years ended March 31, 1999 and
1998 were as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Tax-Free Investments Co.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the
Cash Reserve Portfolio (a Portfolio of Tax-Free Investments Co.), including the
schedule of investments, as of March 31, 1999, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for
each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
March 31, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
  In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Cash Reserve Portfolio as of March 31, 1999, the results of its operations for
the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the
two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years
in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
