ITEM 5.      OTHER EVENTS

             On June 27, 1996, A I M Management Group Inc. (the "Company")
entered into a credit facility with Citibank, N.A. and other financial
institutions (the "New Credit Facility") to provide funding for the payment of
sales commissions to financial intermediaries who sell classes of shares of AIM
retail funds which are sold without a front-end sales charge, but which are
generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") at the time of
their redemption ("Class B Shares").  The amount of the New Credit Facility is
$200 million; however, the Company has the ability to increase the amount up to
a maximum of $250 million if certain conditions are met.  The Company borrowed
approximately $37 million under the New Credit Facility to repay amounts which
had previously been borrowed under the bank facility entered into by the
Company in August 1993 (as amended and restated on June 27, 1996, the "Bank
Facility") to finance the Company's payment of deferred sales commissions on
Class B Shares.  Approximately $44 million remains available under the Bank
Facility as a series of term loans to the Company for working capital purposes.

             The New Credit Facility is secured only by distribution fees (the
"12b-1 fees") which are payable under distribution plans adopted pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and CDSCs
(together with the 12b-1 fees, the "Fees") attributable to certain Class B
Shares.  Under the terms of the indenture (the "Indenture") under which the
Company's 9% Senior Secured Notes due 2003 (the "Notes") were issued, the Fees
do not secure the Notes.  As part of the amendment of the Bank Facility, the
security interests securing amounts payable under the Bank Facility were
released.  As a result of the release of the security interests under the Bank
Facility and the satisfaction of certain conditions under the Indenture, all
security interests securing the Notes were automatically released as provided
in the Indenture.
