AIM International Equity Fund is for shareholders who seek long-term growth of
capital. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of international equity
securities of companies with strong earnings momentum.

ABOUT FUND PERFORMANCE AND PORTFOLIO DATA THROUGHOUT THIS REPORT:

o   AIM International Equity Fund's performance figures are historical and
    reflect reinvestment of all distributions and changes in net asset value.
o   When sales charges are included in performance figures, Class A share
    performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class
    C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales
    charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines
    from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the
    seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after
    purchase. The performance of the Fund's Class B and Class C shares will
    differ from that of Class A shares due to differences in sales charge
    structure and expenses.
o   Past performance is no guarantee of comparable future results.
o   The Fund's investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
    investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
    original cost.
o   International investing presents certain risks not associated with
    investing solely in the United States. These include risks relating to
    fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of
    other currencies, the custody arrangements made for the Fund's foreign
    holdings, differences in accounting, political risks, and the lesser degree
    of public information required to be provided by non-U.S. companies.

ABOUT INDEXES AND OTHER PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKS CITED IN THIS REPORT:

o   The EAFE --Registered Trademark-- (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East)
    Index is a group of unmanaged foreign securities tracked by Morgan Stanley
    Capital International.
o   The unmanaged Lipper International Funds Index represents an average of the
    performance of the 30 largest international mutual funds. It is compiled by
    Lipper, Inc., an independent mutual funds performance monitor. Results
    shown reflect reinvestment of dividends.
o   An investment cannot be made in any index listed. Unless otherwise
    indicated, index results include reinvested dividends and do not reflect
    sales charges.

  AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUNDS IS NOT A DEPOSIT OF A BANK AND IS NOT INSURED OR
        GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY

                     SEMIANNUAL REPORT / CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

                    Dear Fellow Shareholder:

                    With only several months remaining in 1999, the question on
   [PHOTO OF        many of your minds may be, "How will the year 2000 computer
  Charles T.        issue affect AIM and my investments?" We would like you to
    Bauer,          feel comfortable.
 Chairman of            During March and April, AIM participated in an
 the Board of       industrywide test that gave us a chance to see how our
   THE FUND         technology systems might be affected by the changeover to
 APPEARS HERE]      the year 2000 (Y2K). Everything went as well as we had
                    hoped; in general, the industry sailed through the testing
                    process with flying colors. The financial industry has been
                    seen as a leader in planning for year 2000 concerns. Thus,
                    it was no surprise to most participants that the test was
                    an overwhelming success.
                        The general purpose of the process was to test
                    electronic interfaces among financial industry members in
                    the United States and to follow transactions through a
typical trading cycle-from order entry to the settlement process. Investment
banks, broker-dealers, custodian banks and mutual fund companies all worked
together to make this possible. Approximately 400 firms were involved in the
testing; AIM was one of 70 asset managers.

TEST RESULTS EXCELLENT
During the testing process, thousands of transactions were submitted and
approximately 260,000 steps were tested. Of those, only a handful experienced
minor glitches-just 0.02% of the total number of transactions. All problems
were worked through quickly before the hypothetical trades were settled. Of
course, AIM will keep testing and planning throughout 1999 as a precaution.

AIM'S INTERNAL EFFORTS CONTINUE
As you know from our previous communications to you, AIM has been addressing
the year 2000 issue for several years. During 1998, we made substantial
progress on our preparations. We are now in the final phases of the project,
continually testing internal applications and our interfaces with outside
parties. On the investment side, our portfolio management staff is evaluating
the Y2K preparedness of the companies in which we invest.
    We feel that our preparations for 2000 are very comprehensive, and the
industrywide testing showed that our colleagues in the financial industry are
also working hard to be ready for the new year. We do not think shareholders
need to take any extraordinary measures with their investments to prepare for
2000. However, if you have any lingering concerns, it may reassure you to know
that AIM is finalizing contingency plans that will be ready if there are
unexpected problems. Our plans will give AIM employees guidelines to follow for
a wide variety of situations.

updates, please visit our Web site, www.aimfunds.com.
    We are pleased to send you this report covering your fund's performance
over the last six months. If you have any questions or comments, please contact

                    SEMIANNUAL REPORT / MANAGERS' OVERVIEW

EUROPEAN STOCKS STRUGGLE AS
EMERGING MARKETS SURGE

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS HAVE BEEN VOLATILE SINCE LAST YEAR. HOW DID AIM
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND PERFORM?
In the past six months, international markets saw the reversal of a years-long
trend -Asia, Japan and Latin America outperformed Europe. This shift affected
the performance of AIM International Equity Fund somewhat, but the Fund still
produced solid returns. The Fund produced a total return of 9.13% for Class A
shares, 8.65% for Class B shares, and 8.70% for Class C shares for the six
months ending April 30, 1999. These returns are at net asset value, which means
they do not include sales charges. The Fund underperformed the Lipper
International Funds Index, which produced a 14.05% return, and the overall
index for international markets, the EAFE, with a 15.28% return for the
reporting period.
    The Fund's net assets were $2.7 billion at the end of six-month reporting
period.

WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM ITS BENCHMARKS?
Most of the Fund's investments were in Europe, which did not perform as well as
other international markets in recent months. The strongest performance came
from Japan and the emerging markets, including Asia and Latin America, which
together made up 24% of the Fund's assets. We also had limited exposure in
economically sensitive companies, such as commodities, metals, chemicals and
paper manufacturers. These stocks were in favor at the end of the reporting
period. We usually don't focus our investments in these kinds of companies
because their earnings swings can be quite dramatic and unpredictable. Instead,
we look for large-company stocks with good fundamentals and a strong potential
for future earnings growth.
    Over the past three months, we decreased the Fund's holdings in Europe from
78% to 71% of total assets, and increased our investments in Japan, Asia and
Latin America.

WHY DID JAPAN AND EMERGING MARKETS PERFORM BETTER THAN EUROPEAN MARKETS?
Japan, Asia and Latin America suffered major problems last year, including
currency devaluation and recession. Signs of recovery appeared in early 1999,
and many investors expect Japan and the rest of Asia to emerge from recession
this year. Latin American economies have improved and investors are returning,
stabilizing the markets there somewhat.
    At the same time, the European economy is slowing, particularly in Germany,
and we're seeing earnings disappointments from some companies.

WILL YOU CONTINUE TO FOCUS THE FUND'S ASSETS IN EUROPE?
Yes, the long-term outlook is favorable. We also see positive short-term
trends:
o   The new European Central Bank dropped interest rates in April to stimulate
    the economy and boost confidence in Europe.
o   The euro's decline means European exporters are more competitive.
o   European companies are more focused on shareholder value. For example, the
    Italian government forced a shareholder vote in the hostile takeover
    attempt of Telecom Italia, the country's largest telecommunications
    company.
    Corporate restructuring and privatization will continue to drive the
European economy over the long term. Companies become more efficient when they
move from government control to private ownership because they're forced to
trim costs to become leaner and more competitive.
    While recent earnings have declined, European companies have long-term
growth expectations superior to those in the United States. And European stocks
are selling at a cheaper price than U.S. stocks.

WHAT EUROPEAN STOCKS DID YOU LIKE?
Telecommunications companies have performed especially well. Our top holding is
the Finland-based Nokia, the world's largest wireless phone company. Nokia
posted a 96% increase in earnings in its most recent quarter.

                   SEMI ANNUAL REPORT / MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

    Our second-largest holding was Mannesmann, a German engineering and
telecommunications conglomerate. The company doubled its earnings in its most
recent fiscal year. Mannesmann is Germany's largest cellular phone company.
    Our third largest holding, DaimlerChrysler, benefited from a weak euro that
spurred car sales in Europe. Strong sales in North America also boosted
earnings.

IS THE ASIAN ECONOMIC CRISIS OVER?
It appears to be, although some Asian countries have yet to recover. Asia has
made great strides - currencies are more stable, interest rates are declining
and inflation is benign. Banking-system reform is occurring but not yet
complete. Many companies in Asia continue to produce strong earnings,
especially in the banking and consumer sectors. The strongest economies appear
to be Australia, Korea and Singapore. We maintained our investments in Asia
(outside Japan) at about 3.52% for most of the six-month reporting period.

IS THE OUTLOOK FOR JAPAN IMPROVING?
The Japanese stock market boomed over the six-month period. Investors pumped
$13.4 billion into the Tokyo stock exchange in March, a record high. However,
we remain cautious about a Japanese recovery. Japan's economy continues to
shrink, consumer spending is down, and the government has yet to implement
meaningful economic reform.
    Japanese holdings made up 12.02% of the Fund, and include beer maker Kirin
Brewery, telecommunications giant NTT and computer hardware maker NEC.

HAS LATIN AMERICA RECOVERED?
Latin American markets have turned around, especially over the past three
months. Brazil appointed a new central bank president, who has raised interest
rates to keep inflation in check. Markets calmed considerably as the country
established a clearer monetary policy. Even with this positive news, we feel it
is too early to expect a sustained recovery in Brazil. In the short-term, we'll
continue to focus on Mexico. The recent recovery in oil prices has boosted the
Mexican economy, and Mexico continues to benefit from the strength of its
largest trading partner, the United States.

WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
Further interest-rate cuts could occur across Europe, a move that would benefit
large-company stocks in which the Fund invests. Over the long run, we expect
the earnings picture to improve as privatization, deregulation and
restructuring take hold.
    We look for continued improvement in Latin America and Asia, with the
exception of Japan. While we have increased our Japanese holdings somewhat, we
believe it's too early to say the economic crisis there has ended.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 1999
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

AIM International Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a series portfolio of AIM
International Funds, Inc. (the "Company"). The Company is a Maryland corporation
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of six
separate portfolios. The Fund currently offers three different classes of
shares: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares. Class A shares are
sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares are sold with a
contingent deferred sales charge. Matters affecting each portfolio or class are
voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class. The assets,
liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately.
Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund.
The Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term growth of capital.
    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. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
 A. Security Valuations-A security listed or traded on an exchange (except
    convertible bonds) is valued at the last sales price on the exchange where
    the security is principally traded or, lacking any sales on a particular
    day, at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the
    over-the-counter market (but not including securities reported on the NASDAQ
    National Market System) are valued at the mean between the last bid and
    asked prices based upon quotes furnished by market makers for such

                                        9
<PAGE>   12
    securities. Securities reported on the NASDAQ National Market System are
    valued at the last sales price on the valuation date or absent a last sales
    price, at the closing bid price. Debt obligations (including convertible
    bonds) are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing
    service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without
    exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors,
    such as yield, type of issue, coupon rate and maturity date. Securities for
    which market quotations are either not readily available or are questionable
    are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the
    supervision of the Company's officers in a manner specifically authorized by
    the Board of Directors. Investments with maturities of 60 days or less are
    valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates market value.
    Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day
    at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The
    values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the
    Fund's shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange
    rates are also generally determined prior to the close of the New York Stock
    Exchange. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such securities and
    such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined
    and the close of the New York Stock Exchange which would not be reflected in
    the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If events materially
    affecting the value of such securities occur during such period, then these
    securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by
    or under the supervision of the Board of Directors.
B.  Bond Premiums--It is the policy of the Fund not to amortize market premiums
    on bonds for financial reporting purposes.
C.  Foreign Currency Translations--Portfolio securities and other assets and
    liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S.
    dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio
    securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated
    into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The
    Fund does not separately account for that portion of the results of
    operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments
    and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities
    held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized
    gain or loss from investments.
D.  Foreign Currency Contracts--A foreign currency contract is an obligation to
    purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future
    date. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency contract to attempt to
    minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship
    between currencies. The Fund may also enter into a foreign currency contract
    for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in
    order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of that security. The Fund could be
    exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the
    terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes
    unfavorably.
E.  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 is recorded as earned from settlement date
    and is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to
    shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are paid annually.
F.  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.
G.  Expenses--Distribution and transfer agency 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 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 0.95% of
the first $1 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.90% of the
Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. AIM is currently
contractually waiving a portion of its advisory fees paid by the Fund to AIM to
the extent necessary to reduce the fees paid by the Fund at net asset levels
higher than those currently incorporated in the present advisory fee schedule.
Under the contractual waiver, AIM will receive a fee calculated at the annual
rate of 0.95% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets,
plus 0.90% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500 million to
and including $1 billion, plus 0.85% of the Fund's average daily net assets in
excess of $1 billion. The waiver of fees is contractual and may not be
terminated without approval of the Board of Directors of the Company. During the
six months ended April 30, 1999, AIM waived fees of $540,441.
    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 six months ended April 30,
1999, AIM was reimbursed $65,141 for such services.
    The Fund, pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement, has agreed to
pay A I M Fund Services, Inc. ("AFS") for certain costs incurred in providing
transfer agency services to the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 1998,
AFS was paid $1,219,606 for such services.
    The Company has entered into master distribution agreements with A I M
Distributors, Inc. ("AIM Distributors") to serve as the distributor of the Class
A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund. The Company has adopted distribution
plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund's Class
A shares and Class C shares (the "Class A and Class C Plan"), and the Fund's
Class B shares (the "Class B Plan") (collectively, the "Plans"). The Fund,
pursuant to the Class A and C Plan, pays AIM Distributors compensation at the
annual rate of 0.30% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00%
of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The Fund, pursuant to the
Class B Plan, pays AIM Distributors compensation at an annual rate of 1.00% of
the average daily net assets of the Class B shares. Of these amounts, the Fund
may pay a service fee of 0.25% of the average

                                       10
<PAGE>   13

daily net assets of the Class A, Class B or C shares to selected dealers and
financial institutions who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to
their customers who purchase and own the appropriate class of shares of the
Fund. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an
asset-based sales charge. The Plans also impose a cap on the total sales
charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by the respective
classes. During the six months ended April 30, 1999, the Class A and Class B and
Class C shares paid AIM Distributors $2,704,127, $3,910,217 and $364,307,
respectively, as compensation under the Plans.
    AIM Distributors received commissions of $244,642 from sales of the Class A
shares of the Fund during the six months ended April 30, 1999. Such commissions
are not an expense of the Fund. They are deducted from, and are not included in,
the proceeds from sales of Class A shares. During the six months ended April 30,
1999, AIM Distributors received commissions of $94,261 in contingent deferred
sales charges imposed on redemptions of Fund shares. Certain officers and
directors of the Company are officers and directors of AIM, AFS and AIM
Distributors.
    During the six months ended April 30, 1999, the Fund incurred legal fees of
$3,232 for services rendered by the law firm of Kramer, Levin, Naftalis &
Frankel LLP as counsel to the Company's directors. A member of that firm is a
director of the Company.

NOTE 3-INDIRECT EXPENSES

During the six months ended April 30, 1999, the Fund received reductions in
transfer agency fees from AFS (an affiliate of AIM) of $17,493, under an expense
offset arrangement. The effect of the above arrangement resulted in a reduction
of the Fund's total expenses of $17,493 during the six months ended April 30,
1999.

NOTE 4-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 5-BANK BORROWINGS

The Fund is a participant in a committed line of credit facility with a
syndicate administered by The Chase Manhattan Bank. The Fund may borrow up to
the lesser of (i) $1,000,000,000 or (ii) the limits set by its prospectus for
borrowings. The Fund and other funds advised by AIM which are parties to the
line of credit may borrow on a first come, first served basis. During the six
months ended April 30, 1999, the Fund did not borrow under the line of credit
agreement. The funds which are party to the line of credit are charged a
commitment fee of 0.05% on the unused balance of the committed line. The
commitment fee is allocated among the funds based on their respective average
net assets for the period.

NOTE 6-INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities)
purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended April 30, 1999 was
$1,343,029,998 and $1,218,736,851, respectively.
    The amount of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment
securities, on a tax basis, as of April 30, 1999 is as follows:
