[AIM LOGO APPEARS HERE] Dear Shareholder:
[PHOTO of Mr. For the most part, the six-month period covered
Charles T. Bauer, by this report on the Prime Portfolio of Short-
Chairman of the Term Investments Co. was marked by relative
LETTER Board of the Fund stability in short-term financial markets. The
TO OUR APPEARS HERE] markets expected that Federal Reserve Board
SHAREHOLDERS policy would be unchanged because of prevailing
evidence of an economy growing at a sustainable, noninflationary
rate.
Only during the last week of February 1997 did short-term rates
move significantly, rising as markets began to anticipate higher
short-term interest rates. That change in market sentiment
occurred primarily in response to statements by Fed Chairman Alan
Greenspan. In his semiannual testimony before Congress, Greenspan
spoke of the Open Market Committee's being on "heightened" alert
to the possibility of future inflation. Greenspan's concern
focused on the continued dramatic rise in equity markets and on
evidence that a strong job market could ignite inflationary wage
pressures.
YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
Because of its relatively short average maturity, Prime Portfolio
was able to take advantage of these higher rates to improve the
Fund's performance. The Fund's maximum 60-day laddered maturity
structure enables it to respond more quickly to market signals
than funds with longer average maturity structures. At the close
of the reporting period, the weighted average maturity of the
portfolio was 21 days.
As of February 28, 1997, the average monthly yield of the
Personal Investment Class of the Prime Portfolio was 4.78% and the
seven-day yield was 4.79%; net assets of the Personal Investment
Class stood at $92.8 million.
The Portfolio continues to hold the highest credit quality
ratings given by two widely known credit-rating agencies: AAAm
from Standard & Poor's Corporation and Aaa from Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. The ratings are historical and are based on an
analysis of the Portfolio's credit quality, composition,
management, and weekly portfolio reviews.
The Prime Portfolio seeks to maximize current income to the
extent consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance of
liquidity. It invests in high-grade taxable money market
instruments with maturities of 60 days or less, including U.S.
government obligations, bank obligations, commercial paper, and
selected repurchase agreement securities. As with any money market
fund, an investment in Prime Portfolio is neither insured nor
guaranteed by the U.S. government, the FDIC or a bank, and there
can be no assurance that the Portfolio will be able to maintain a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE
As the reporting period drew to a close, there was uncertainty
concerning the movement of interest rates. As mentioned above, Fed
Chairman Greenspan had told Congress the central bank was vigilant
about "potentially inflationary expansion." On the other hand,
information and data prepared in advance of the Open Market
Committee's March meeting reported temperate price pressures in
both the retail and manufacturing sectors, and described the
economy as expanding at "a relatively moderate pace."
While this made an imminent interest rate hike seem unlikely, it
left markets alert to the possibility of a Fed tightening in the
near term. Prime Portfolio management will remain cautionary and
will continue
<PAGE>
to manage the portfolio to provide the maximum flexibility
possible to respond to changes in the short-term interest rate
environment.
The prudence of that cautionary stance became evident on March
25, 1997, after the close of the reporting period. The Federal
Reserve Board's Open Market Committee raised the target federal
funds rate 25 basis points, a step that, by then, had become
widely anticipated.
AIM/INVESCO MERGER FINALIZED
We are pleased to announce that the merger of A I M Management
Group Inc. and INVESCO plc was concluded on February 28, 1997. AIM
is now part of one of the world's largest independent investment
management groups with approximately $160 billion in assets under
management.
The merger creates a company with the financial strength
necessary to meet your needs in an increasingly competitive
financial services environment, both in the United States and
worldwide. Though now under one holding company, AIM and INVESCO
will continue to operate as separate entities. Therefore, this
merger will not change the portfolio management, investment style,
or name of any of the AIM funds you own. The merger's completion
begins a new and promising era for AIM, one we believe will yield
exciting opportunities.
We are pleased to send you this report concerning your
investment. AIM is committed to customer service and to the
primary goals of safety, liquidity and yield in institutional fund
management. We are ready to respond to your comments about this
report and to any questions you may have. Please contact one of

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 1997
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Short-Term Investments Co. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end series diversified management
investment company. The Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation consisting
of two different portfolios, each of which offers separate series of shares:
the Prime Portfolio and the Liquid Assets Portfolio. Information presented in
these financial statements pertains only to the Prime Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are
accounted for separately. The Portfolio consists of five different classes of
shares: the Institutional Class, the Private Investment Class, the Personal
Investment Class, the Cash Management Class and the Resource Class. Matters
affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the shareholders of each
class. The Portfolio's objective is the maximization of current income to the
extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of
liquidity.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. 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.
A. Security Valuations - The Portfolio invests only in securities which have
maturities of sixty days or less. The 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 premium.
B. 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, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
discounts on investments, is accrued daily. Dividends to shareholders are
declared daily and are paid on the first business day of the following
month.
C. Federal Income Taxes - The Portfolio 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.
D. Expenses - Distribution and transfer agency expenses directly attributable
to a class of shares are charged to that class' operations. All other
expenses are allocated among the classes.
NOTE 2-ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M
Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the master advisory agreement, AIM
receives a monthly fee with respect to the Portfolio calculated by applying a
monthly rate, based upon the following annual rates, to the average daily net
assets of the Portfolio:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Net Assets RATE
- ----------------------------------------
<S> <C>
First $100 million 0.20%
- ----------------------------------------
Over $100 million to $200 million 0.15%
- ----------------------------------------
Over $200 million to $300 million 0.10%
- ----------------------------------------
Over $300 million to $1.5 billion 0.06%
- ----------------------------------------
Over $1.5 billion 0.05%
- ----------------------------------------
</TABLE>
AIM voluntarily reimbursed expenses of $4,400 during the six months ended
February 28, 1997.
The Portfolio, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with
AIM, has agreed to reimburse AIM for certain costs incurred in providing
accounting services to the Portfolio. During the six months ended February 28,
1997, the Portfolio reimbursed AIM $44,854 for such services. During the six
months ended February 28, 1997, the Fund paid A I M Institutional Fund
Services, Inc. ("AIFS") $312,870 pursuant to a shareholder and transfer agency
services agreement.

<PAGE>
Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between Fund Management
Company ("FMC") and the Fund, FMC acts as the exclusive distributor of the
Fund's shares. The Fund has adopted a master distribution plan (the "Plan")
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Private
Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class and
the Resource Class of the Portfolio. The Plan provides that the Private
Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class and
the Resource Class may pay FMC up to a maximum annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75%,
0.10% and 0.20%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to
such class. Of this amount, the Fund may pay a service fee of (a) 0.25% of the
average daily net assets of each of the Private Investment Class and the
Personal Investment Class, (b) 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the
Cash Management Class and (c) 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the
Resource Class, to selected banks, broker-dealers and other financial
institutions who offer continuing personal shareholder services to their
customers who purchase and own shares of the Private Investment Class, the
Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class or the Resource Class. Any
amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-
based sales charge. The plan also imposes a cap on the total amount of sales
charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by the Portfolio
with respect to each class. During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the
Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management
Class and the Resource Class accrued $342,925, $252,051, $187,181 and $88,285,
respectively, as compensation to FMC under the Plan. FMC waived fees of
$423,508 for the same period. Certain officers and directors of the Fund are
officers of AIM, FMC and AIFS.
During the six months ended February 28, 1997, the Portfolio paid legal fees
of $12,405 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel as
counsel to the Fund's directors. A member of that firm is a director of the
Fund.
Shareholders' Meeting
An annual meeting of shareholders of the Fund was held on February 7, 1997 (the
"Meeting"). The following four items were approved by the 7,946,370,712 shares
of the Fund represented at the Meeting, with the following vote totals cast
