Market Overview March 1995
Perversely, to the securities markets, strong economic growth can be viewed as
a negative, a harbinger of inflation. Some analysts are worried about the
figures for late 1994: Gross domestic product (GDP) rose 4.5% for the fourth
quarter. That was the sixth straight quarter in which the GDP growth rate was
2.7% or better, and current indications are that growth will be at least 3% in
the current quarter. Corporate earnings growth continued strong throughout the
fourth quarter for industries as diverse as airlines, entertainment, and
packaging. And 1994 showed the biggest leap in corporate profits for at least
two decades.
We are finally seeing signs that economic growth is slowing, though. For
instance, the unemployment rate rose in January after months of improvement.
Higher unemployment, while bad for the affected individuals and their families,
does ease the upward pressure for wages and expanded employee benefits. In fact,
a major employer cost -- health care -- actually decreased about 1% last year.
Another encouraging sign, relative to inflation, is industrial production. The
output at U.S. factories and mines grew at just 0.4% in January, half the rate
of each of the two preceding months.
There are still legitimate concerns regarding inflation. The most widely used
index, the CPI, rose 0.3% in January. As a result, the next few months may see
additional modest increases in the Fed Funds rate.
By increasing short-term rates, the Federal Reserve is attempting a "soft
landing" -- that is, to moderate the current economic expansion before inflation
heats up. Over the past twelve months, the Fed has raised short-term rates by a
total of 3.00%.
While inflation is not likely to approach the eight percent-plus levels seen
in the early 1980s, it will probably be higher than the 2.5% to 3% range seen
during recent years. The INVESCO economic forecast calls for steadily increasing
inflation. We anticipate that consumer prices will rise as much as 4.0%
year-over-year by the fourth quarter of 1995; that compares to an increase of
just 2.7% in 1993 and 2.8% for 1994.
In 1994, the stock market performance reflected concern that the Fed would
overshoot its goal, bringing growth lower than the 2.5% target -- or worse,
induce a recession. Now, however, investors appear to be gaining confidence that
interest rates are stabilizing. In light of that positive factor, the stock
market may well continue its present advance. However, any interest rate or
inflation surprises, or a spate of disappointing corporate earnings reports,
could easily set off another correction.
Graph: Small Company Fund Total Return from Inception(12/93) through
1/31/95
This line graph compares the value of a $10,000 investment in INVESCO Small
Company Fund to the value of a $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 Index and the
Russell 2000 Index, assuming in each case reinvestment of all dividends and
capital gain distributions, for the period from inception (12/93) through
1/31/95.
Small Company Fund
Average Annualized Total Return
as of January 31, 1995
1 Year -4.20%
Since Inception (12/93) -1.05%
The line graph illustrates the value of a $10,000 investment in INVESCO Small
Company Fund, plus reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions, for the
period since inception (12/93) through 1/31/95.*
The chart and other total return figures cited reflect the fund's operating
expenses, but the indices do not have expenses, which would of course have
lowered their performance.
Small Company Fund focuses on companies with equity capitalization under $1
billion. But recently, small company stocks as a group underperformed the broad
market stocks. For the six-month period ended 1/31/95, the fund achieved a total
return of 1.00%. This was below the total return of 2.00% provided by the
Russell 2000. During the same six-month period, the S&P 500 had a total return
of 4.12%. (Of course, past performance is not a guarantee of future results.)*
As the relative performance of the two indices show, large-capitalization
stocks advanced considerably more than smaller-cap equities during this period.
Fund performance was accordingly weak.
As we noted above, there are signs that the economy is slowing just enough to
temper the inflation threat. Small stocks might well benefit from such a
scenario, which increases the value of future earnings potential.
At 7/31/94, repurchase agreements represented 15.41% of fund holdings. Over
the past six months, the fund has become fully invested. We have been careful to
maintain extensive diversification; there are over 200 individual equity
holdings.
Continued economic strength contributes to the long-term potential for
consumer-related stocks. Therefore, the fund's weightings in consumer cyclicals
and technology were expanded. New positions include three new advertising
companies, Heritage Media, Grey Advertising and True North Communications. We
presently hold three recreation-related stocks, Hollywood Casino, International
Gaming Manage-ment, and Video Lottery Technologies. Two publishers were added --
McClatchy Newspapers and Meredith Corp -- as well as broadcaster United Video
Satellite Group A.
Technology stocks were extremely volatile in 1994. Prospects look stronger for
these issues now, however. Accordingly, you'll find several new names among the
fund's holdings, including Microchip Technology, America Online, Mercury
Interactive, and two electronics firms: BMC Industries and DSP Group. We've also
built up our focus on semiconductors, taking positions in Credence Systems and
Cypress Semiconductor.
With the likelihood of increasing stability in interest rates, we have
cautiously added to financial stocks. New positions here include three banking
companies, City National, Summit Bancorporation (NJ), and West One Bancorp, plus
three savings & loans. We've also added Southwest Securities Group, an
investment broker.
INVESCO Small Company Fund is managed by Bob Slotpole. He is an industry
veteran with nearly two decades of investment experience. He earned an MBA from
Stanford University, as well as a BS from the State University of New York at
Buffalo. Before joining INVESCO in 1993, Mr. Slotpole was associated with First
Boston and Lehman Brothers.
Graph: Small Company Fund Diversification by Value of Total Net Assets
This graph reflects the diversification of the Small Company Fund by value
of total net assets in basic materials, capital goods and construction, consumer
cyclical, consumer staples, diversified, energy, finance, technology,
transportation and services, utilities and short-term debt securities, including
cash as of February 28, 1994, July 31, 1994 and January 31,1 995.
*Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.
Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that, when redeemed, an
investor's shares may be worth more or less than when purchased. The S&P 500 is
an unmanaged index of common stocks considered representative of the broad
market; the Russell 2000 is an unmanaged index representative of small- and
medium-cap stocks.

Notes to Financial Statements
UNAUDITED
NOTE 1 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. INVESCO Diversified Funds, Inc. (the
"Fund"), a Maryland Corporation, was incorporated on April 2, 1993, and consists
of the Small Company Fund, which commenced operations on December 1, 1993. The
Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") as a
diversified, open-end management investment company.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. A. SECURITY
VALUATION -- Equity securities traded on national securities exchanges or in the
over-the-counter market are valued at the last sale price in the market where
such securities are primarily traded. If last sale prices are not available,
securities are valued at the highest closing bid price obtained from one or more
dealers making a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by
the Fund's board of directors.
If market quotations or pricing service valuations are not readily
available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by
the Fund's board of directors.
Short-term securities are stated at amortized cost (which approximates
market value) if maturity is 60 days or less, or at market value if maturity is
greater than 60 days. B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME --
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date and dividend income is
recorded on the ex dividend date. Interest income, which may be comprised of
stated coupon rate, market discount and original issue discount is recorded on
the accrual basis. Cost is determined on the specific identification basis. C.
FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES -- The Fund has complied with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and,
accordingly, has made or intends to make sufficient distributions of net
investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to relieve it from all
federal and state income taxes and federal excise taxes. D. DIVIDENDS AND
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded by the Fund on the ex dividend/distribution date. The Fund distributes
net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders at least annually, if
not offset by capital loss carryovers. Income distributions and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are
primarily due to differing treatments for nontaxable dividends, net operating
losses, expiring capital loss carryforwards and deferral of wash sales. NOTE 2
-- INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS. INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG")
serves as the Fund's investment adviser. As compensation for its services to the
Fund, IFG receives an investment advisory fee which is accrued daily at the
applicable rate and paid monthly. The fee is based on the annual rate of 0.75%
on average net assets.
<PAGE>
In accordance with a Sub-Advisory Agreement between IFG and INVESCO
Management & Research, Inc. ("IMR"), an affiliate of IFG, investment decisions
of the Fund are made by IMR. Fees for such sub-advisory services are paid by
IFG.
In accordance with an Administrative Agreement, the Fund pays IFG an
annual fee of $10,000, plus an additional amount computed at an annual rate of
0.015% of average net assets to provide administrative, accounting and clerical
services. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly.
IFG receives a transfer agent fee at an annual rate of $14.00 per
shareholder account, or per participant in an omnibus account. IFG may pay such
fee for participants in omnibus accounts to affiliates or third parties. The fee
is paid monthly at one-twelfth of the annual fee and is based upon the actual
number of accounts in existence during each month.
IFG has voluntarily agreed, in some instances, to absorb certain fees and
expenses incurred by the Fund. NOTE 3 -- PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT
SECURITIES. For the six-months ended January 31, 1995, the aggregate cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding all U.S.
Government securities and short-term securities) were $5,003,232 and $4,579,328,
respectively.
There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities. NOTE 4 --
APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION. At January 31, 1995, the gross appreciation of
securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost amounted to
$1,036,670 and the gross depreciation of securities in which there was an excess
of tax cost over value amounted to $1,192,358 resulting in net depreciation of
$155,688. NOTE 5 -- TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Certain of the Fund's officers
and directors are also officers and directors of IFG or IMR.
The Fund has adopted an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension
plan covering all independent directors of the Fund who will have served as an
independent director for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits
under this plan are based on an annual rate equal to 25% of the retainer fee at
the time of retirement. Pension expenses for the six-months ended January 31,
1995, included in Directors' Fees and Expenses in the Statement of Operations
were $726. Prepaid pension costs of $15 and accrued pension liability of $741
are included in prepaid expenses and accrued expenses, respectively, in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
