                                                           The Chairman's Letter

                 

                   Dear Shareholder:

                   We are pleased to send you this report on AIM Advisor Cash 
  [PHOTO OF        Management Fund for the 1997 fiscal year.
 Charles T.            The fixed-income markets were influenced by several 
   Bauer,          events in the past year. The Federal Reserve Board (the Fed)
Chairman of        raised the federal funds rate target in March, and market 
the Board of       participants spent the rest of the year speculating when the 
  THE FUND         next move would occur. Continued low inflation in the face of
APPEARS HERE]      sturdy economic growth also held market watchers' attention. 
                   Finally, the Asian financial crisis increased market 
                   volatility in the second half of 1997.
                       In March, the Fed raised the federal funds rate target 
                   from 5.25% to 5.50%.  For much of the second and third
                   quarters of the year, market participants anticipated 
                   additional rate hikes. Interest rate volatility increased as
                   the markets were buffeted by wide swings in the reported 
                   economic numbers. Despite overall growth in the economy, the 
Consumer Price Index (CPI) and other inflation measures remained at acceptable
levels. The Fed was able to adhere to its steady policy and not raise rates a
second time during 1997.
    In the fourth quarter of the year, the U.S. market began to focus on the
Asian crisis. Initially, this led to lower yields in the Treasury market as the
ensuing flight to quality pushed prices higher. However, rumored foreign selling
in the Treasury and government markets, coupled with year-end technical
pressures, caused rates to rise in December.
    Because the Asian turmoil is expected to have a slowing effect on the U.S.
economy, many market participants are anticipating stable to lower interest
rates as 1998 unfolds.

YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
In light of the continued volatility and uncertainty in the markets, the Fund
maintained a relatively short weighted average maturity (WAM). At fiscal
year-end, the WAM stood at 18.53 days. This strategy produced a competitive
seven-day yield of 4.92% for both Class A and Class C shares.
    AIM Advisor Cash Management Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current
income as possible consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity by
investing in high-quality, short-term money market instruments including
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies
or instruments, and U.S. dollar-denominated certificates of deposit, commercial
paper, and repurchase agreements. An investment in the Fund is neither insured
nor guaranteed by the U.S. government, and there can be no assurance that the
Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE
As of the close of the fiscal year, the U.S. economy was growing strongly
without generating inflationary pressures: for 1997 as a whole, the rise in the
core CPI, which excludes the volatile energy and food sectors, was a mere
2.2%--the smallest increase since 1965. Sound fiscal policy was shrinking the
federal deficit, short-term interest rates had been stable for nine months, and
opinion was almost unanimous that the Federal Reserve would not raise rates
early in 1998.
    Indeed, some considered a monetary easing as the next Fed policy move. The
yield curve was extremely flat as the fiscal year closed, with the 30-year
Treasury bond yielding only 60 basis points more than the three-month Treasury
bill. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.)
    The short maturities of the securities held by AIM Advisor Cash Management
Fund enable it to respond swiftly to changes in the financial environment and to
provide an attractive shelter from potential market volatility.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
AIM Advisor Cash Management Fund (the "Fund", formerly INVESCO Advisor Cash
Management Portfolio) is a series portfolio of AIM Advisor Funds, Inc. (the
"Company" formerly, INVESCO Advisor Funds, Inc.). The Company is a Maryland
corporation and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series management investment company
consisting of seven diversified portfolios. The Fund currently offers two
different classes of shares: Class A shares and Class C shares. Class A and
Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge and are not subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge. A contingent deferred sales charge may be
imposed upon redemptions of Class C shares when such shares were purchased in an
exchange. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively
by the shareholders of such portfolio or class. The assets, liabilities and
operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. The Fund's investment
objective is to achieve as high a level of current income, without regard to
federal income tax consideration as is consistent with the preservation of
capital and the maintenance of liquidity. Information presented in these
financial statements pertains only to the Fund.
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of 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 followed by the Fund
in the preparation of its financial statements.
A.  Security Valuations-The Fund'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 premiums.
B.  Securities Transactions, Investment Income and Distributions-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, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
    discounts on investments, is recorded as earned from settlement date and is
    recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends to shareholders are declared daily
    and are paid monthly.
C.  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 $1,151 (which may be carried forward to offset future
    taxable capital gains, if any) which expires, if not previously utilized,
    through the year 2004.
D.  Expenses-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 0.50% of
the Fund's average daily net assets. Prior to August 4, 1997, the Company had an
investment advisory agreement with INVESCO Services, Inc. ("ISI") to serve as
the Fund's investment advisor. Under the terms of the prior investment advisory
agreement, the Fund paid ISI an advisory fee equal to an annual rate of 0.50% of
the average daily net assets of the Fund. Under the terms of a prior
sub-advisory agreement between ISI and INVESCO Capital Management Inc. ("ICM"),
ISI paid ICM a sub-advisory fee equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund's
average daily net assets.
  The Company, pursuant to an operating services agreement with AIM, has agreed
to pay AIM an annual rate of 0.45% of daily net assets of the Fund for providing
or arranging to provide accounting, legal (except litigation), dividend
disbursing, transfer agency, registrar, custodial, shareholder reporting,
sub-accounting and recordkeeping services and functions. This agreement provides
that AIM pays all fees and expenses associated with these and other functions,
including, but not limited to, registration fees, shareholder meeting fees, and
proxy statement and shareholder report expenses. During the period August 4,
1997 to December 31, 1997, AIM was paid $11,793 for such services. Prior to
August 4, 1997, the Company had an operating services agreement with ISI whereby
the Fund paid ISI an annual rate of 0.45% of daily net assets of the Fund.
During the period January 1, 1997 through August 3, 1997, the Fund paid ISI
$25,442.
  During the period August 4, 1997 to December 31, 1997, AIM Distributors
received commissions of $778 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed on
redemptions of Fund shares. Certain officers and directors of the Company are
officers and directors of AIM and AIM Distributors. During the period January 1,
1997 through August 3, 1997, ISI received commissions of $3,541 in contingent
deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions of Fund shares.
  The combined effect of the advisory agreement and operating services agreement
for the Fund is to place a cap or ceiling on the total expenses of the Fund,
other than brokerage commissions, interest, taxes, litigation, directors' fees
and expenses, and other extraordinary expenses. AIM has voluntarily agreed to
adhere to the maximum expense ratio for the Fund. To the extent that the Fund
exceeds the amounts, AIM will waive its fees to reimburse the Fund to assure
that the Fund's expenses do not exceed 0.95% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
  During the period August 4, 1997 to December 31, 1997, the Fund paid legal
fees of $573 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel as
counsel to the Company's 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.

                       The Board of Directors and Shareholders
                       of the AIM Advisor Funds, Inc.
 
                       In our opinion, the accompanying statements 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 the
                       AIM Advisor Cash Management Fund, one of the portfolios
                       of the AIM Advisor Funds, Inc., (hereafter referred to as
                       the "Fund") at December 31, 1997, 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 periods
                       indicated, in conformity with generally accepted
                       accounting principles. 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 generally accepted auditing standards
                       which 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, 1997 by correspondence with the custodian
                       and the application of alternative auditing procedures
                       where securities purchased had not been received, provide
                       a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
