                          REPORT FROM THE FUND MANAGER
 
    The Fund's total return for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was 2.30%
for Class A shares and 1.99% for Class B shares. As of June 30, the Fund's SEC
seven-day yield was 4.66% for Class A shares and 3.92% for Class B shares.
Because the Fund invests only in short-term debt obligations with remaining
maturities of 13 months or less, its performance generally reflects the level of
short-term interest rates. Please bear in mind that an investment in the Fund 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.
 
    Fixed income markets continued to be buffeted by overseas turmoil during the
first half of 1998. Early in January, the market was expecting an imminent
reduction in rates by the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) to counteract negative
effects from the Asian economic crises. However, as it became apparent that the
U.S. economy was going to shrug off the Asian influence and continue its strong
growth, interest rates rose. The one-year Treasury bill, whose yield had dropped
as low as 5.10% in January, backed up to the 5.45% area by late February.
 
    Fueled by low interest rates and strong stock and labor markets, the U.S.
economy continued its solid growth in the first quarter of 1998, rising at a
5.4% annual rate. Despite this rapid growth, inflation remained contained, with
the annualized rate running between 1% and 2%. During the 12 months ended May
31, the Consumer Price Index rose 1.7%. As the second quarter came to a close,
the economy appeared finally to be slowing in response to the Asian influence
and the strike at General Motors.
 
    During this period, the Fed remained on watch for signs of incipient
inflation, which never appeared. As the Asian situation continued to unfold, the
Fed remained hesitant to raise rates. As a result, the Federal funds target
remained at 5.5% throughout the reporting period.
 
    As the third quarter opened, most market participants were expecting the Fed
to remain on the sidelines for the foreseeable future, though opinion remained
divided about its next move. Some were concerned that strong U.S. growth would
generate inflationary pressures, leading to a tighter Fed policy. Others
remained concerned that Asia's dampening effects on the U.S. would eventually
encourage the Fed to lower rates. With the flat yield curve and all the
uncertainty about the future direction of rates and where the stock market is
headed, Fund managers will likely continue to maintain the weighted average
maturity toward the shorter end of the spectrum for the foreseeable future.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (SEE ALSO NOTE 2)
AIM Dollar Fund (the "Fund", formerly GT Global Dollar Fund) is a diversified
series of AIM Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the "Company"). The Company is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), as
an open-end management investment company.
 
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, and Advisor Class shares, each of which has
equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting
rights with respect to its distribution plan. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, and the common expenses of the Fund are
allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of
each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in
its respective distribution expenses, and may differ in its transfer agent,
registration, and certain other class-specific fees and expenses.
 
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 and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of the financial
statements.
 
(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method
permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method involves
valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
 
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the policy of the Fund to meet the requirements for qualification as a
"regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended ("Code"). It is also the intention of the Fund to make distributions
sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code.
Therefore, no provision has been made for Federal taxes on income, capital
gains, and unrealized appreciation of securities held, or for excise tax on
income and capital gains. The Fund currently has a capital loss carryforward of
$3,382 which expires in 2005.
 
(C) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
With respect to repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund, it is the Fund's
policy to always receive, as collateral, U.S. government securities or other
high quality debt securities of which the value, including accrued interest, is
at least equal to the amount to be repaid to the Fund under each agreement at
its maturity. A I M Advisors, Inc. is responsible for determining that the value
of these underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
 
(D) OTHER
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (date the order to buy or
sell is executed). Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends to
shareholders from net investment income are declared daily and paid or
reinvested monthly.
 
2. RELATED PARTIES
A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM" or the "Manager") is the Fund's investment manager
and administrator, and INVESCO (NY), Inc., (formerly, Chancellor LGT Asset
Management, Inc.) is the Fund's investment sub-adviser and/or sub-administrator.
As of the close of business on May 29, 1998, Liechtenstein Global Trust AG
("LGT"), the former indirect parent organization of Chancellor LGT Asset
Management, Inc. ("Chancellor LGT"), consummated a purchase agreement with
AMVESCAP PLC pursuant to which AMVESCAP PLC acquired LGT's Asset Management
Division, which included Chancellor LGT and certain other affiliates. As a
result of this transaction, Chancellor LGT was renamed INVESCO (NY), Inc., and
is now an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC. In connection with
this transaction, AIM, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC,
became the investment manager and administrator of the Funds and INVESCO (NY),
Inc. became the sub-adviser and sub-administrator of the Funds. All of the
changes became effective as of the close of business on May 29, 1998.
 
The Fund pays the Manager investment management and administration fees at the
annualized rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. These fees are
computed daily and paid monthly, and are subject to reduction in any year to the
extent that the Fund's expenses (exclusive of brokerage commissions, taxes,
interest, distribution-related expenses and extraordinary expenses) exceed the
most stringent limits prescribed by the laws or regulations of any state in
which the Fund's shares are sold.
 
A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors"), an affiliate of the Manager,
serves as the Fund's distributor. For the period ended May 29, 1998, GT Global,
Inc. ("GT Global") served as the Fund's distributor. The Fund offers Class A,
Class B, and Advisor Class shares for purchase. Certain redemptions of Class A
shares made within two years of purchase are subject to contingent deferred
sales charges ("CDSCs"), in accordance with the Fund's current prospectus. Class
B shares of the Fund are available only through an exchange of Class B shares of
other AIM Mutual Funds. Certain redemptions of Class B shares made within six
years of purchase are also subject to CDSCs, in accordance with the Fund's
current prospectus. For the period ended June 30, 1998, AIM Distributors and GT
Global collected CDSCs in the amount of $53,658 and $384,193, respectively. In
addition, AIM Distributors may, from time to time, make ongoing payments to
brokerage firms, financial institutions (including banks)

                        (FORMERLY GT GLOBAL DOLLAR FUND)
 
and others that facilitate the administration and servicing of shareholder
accounts.
 
For the period ended May 29, 1998, pursuant to the then effective separate
distribution plans adopted under the 1940 Act Rule 12b-1 by the Company's Board
of Directors with respect to the Fund's Class A shares ("Class A Plan") and
Class B shares ("Class B Plan"), the Fund reimbursed GT Global for a portion of
its shareholder servicing and distribution expenses. Under the Class A Plan, the
Fund was permitted to pay GT Global a service fee at the annualized rate of up
to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class A shares for GT
Global's expenditures incurred in servicing and maintaining shareholder
accounts, and was permitted to pay GT Global a distribution fee at the
annualized rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's
Class A shares less any amounts paid by the Fund as the aforementioned service
fee for GT Global's expenditures incurred in providing services as distributor.
GT Global does not currently intend to seek reimbursement of any amounts under
the Class A Plan. All expenses for which GT Global is reimbursed under the Class
A Plan will have been incurred within one year of such reimbursement.
 
For the period ended May 29, 1998, pursuant to the Fund's Class B Plan, the Fund
was permitted to pay GT Global a service fee at the annualized rate of up to
0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class B shares for GT
Global's expenditures incurred in servicing and maintaining shareholder
accounts, and was permitted to pay GT Global a distribution fee at the
annualized rate of up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's
Class B shares for GT Global's expenditures incurred in providing services as
distributor. GT Global does not currently intend to seek reimbursement of any
amounts in excess of 0.75% of average daily net assets under the Class B Plan.
Expenses incurred under the Class B Plan in excess of 1.00% annually were
permitted to be carried forward for reimbursement in subsequent years as long as
that Plan continues in effect.
 
Effective as of the close of business May 29, 1998, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under
the 1940 Act, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Master Distribution
Plan applicable to the Fund's Class A shares ("Class A Plan") and Class B shares
("Class B Plan"), pursuant to which a Fund compensates AIM Distributors for the
purpose of financing any activity that is intended to result in the sale of
Class A or Class B shares of the Funds. Under the Class A Plan, the Fund
compensates AIM Distributors at the annualized rate of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets of the Fund's Class A shares.
 
Pursuant to the Fund's Class B Plan, the Fund compensates AIM Distributors at an
annualized rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class B
shares.
 
The Manager and AIM Distributors have voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's
expenses (exclusive of brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, and extraordinary
items) to the maximum annual level of 1.00%, 1.75%, and 1.00% of the average
daily net assets of the Fund's Class A, Class B, and Advisor Class shares,
respectively. If necessary, this limitation will be effected by waivers by the
Manager of investment management and administration fees, waivers by AIM
Distributors of payments under the Class A Plan and/or Class B Plan and/or
reimbursements by the Manager or AIM Distributors of portions of the Fund's
other operating expenses.
 
GT Global Investor Services, Inc. ("GT Services"), an affiliate of the Manager
and AIM Distributors, is the transfer agent of the Fund. For performing
shareholder servicing, reporting, and general transfer agent services, GT
Services receives an annual maintenance fee of $17.50 per account, a new account
fee of $4.00 per account, a per transaction fee of $1.75 for all transactions
other than exchanges and a per exchange fee of $2.25. GT Services is also
reimbursed by the Funds for its out-of-pocket expenses for such items as
postage, forms, telephone charges, stationery and office supplies.
 
The Manager is the pricing and accounting agent for the Fund. The monthly fee
for these services to the Manager is a percentage, not to exceed 0.03% annually,
of the Fund's average daily net assets. The annual fee rate is derived by
applying 0.03% to the first $5 billion of assets of all registered mutual funds
advised by the Manager and 0.02% to the assets in excess of $5 billion and
allocating the result according to the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
The Company pays each of its Directors who is not an employee, officer or
director of the Manager, GT Global or GT Services $1,000 per year plus $300 for
each meeting of the board or any committee thereof attended by the Director.
