FOR MORE  DETAILS  ABOUT EACH FUND'S  CURRENT  INVESTMENTS  AND MARKET  OUTLOOK,
PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

FACTORS  COMMON TO ALL THE FUNDS

The Funds seek to provide you with a high level of current  income by  investing
primarily in bonds and other debt  securities.  High Yield,  Select Income,  and
U.S. Government Securities Funds also seek capital appreciation.

Although  the Funds are  subject to a number of risks that  could  affect  their
performance, their principal risk is interest rate risk -- that is, the value of
the  securities  in a  portfolio  will rise and fall due to changes in  interest
rates.  In general,  as interest rates rise, the resale value of debt securities
decreases;  as  interest  rates  decline,  the resale  value of debt  securities
generally  increases.  Debt securities  with longer  maturities are usually more
sensitive to interest rate movements. There are no limitations on the maturities
of the securities  held by a Fund, and the Fund's average  maturity will vary as
INVESCO responds to changes in interest rates.

The Funds are subject to other principal risks such as credit,  debt securities,
duration, liquidity, prepayment, foreign securities, lack of timely information,
and portfolio  turnover risks.  These risks are described and discussed later in
the  Prospectus  under the  headings  "Investment  Risks" and  "Principal  Risks
Associated With The Funds." An investment in a Fund is not a deposit of any bank
and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
("FDIC") or any other government agency. As with any other mutual fund, there is
always a risk that you may lose money on your investment in a Fund.

[KEY ICON] INVESCO HIGH YIELD FUND -INVESTOR CLASS, CLASS A, B, C,
           AND K

The Fund  normally  invests  at least  80% of its net  assets  in a  diversified
portfolio of high yield corporate bonds rated below  investment  grade, or bonds
deemed by INVESCO to be of comparable  quality  commonly  known as "junk bonds,"
and  preferred  stocks with below  investment  grade  ratings or those deemed by
INVESCO to be of comparable  quality.  These investments  generally offer higher
rates of return,  but are riskier than investments in securities of issuers with
higher credit ratings.

<PAGE>
A portion  of the Fund's  assets may be  invested  in other  securities  such as
corporate short-term notes, repurchase agreements and money market funds.

At any given  time,  the Fund may be  subject  to sector  risk.  Companies  with
similar  lines  of  business  (for  example,   financial  services,  health,  or
technology) are grouped together in broad categories called sectors. Sector risk
is the possibility that a certain sector may  underperform  other sectors or the
market as a whole.  The Fund is not limited  with respect to sectors in which it
can invest.  If the portfolio  manager  allocates  more of the Fund's  portfolio
holdings to a particular economic sector, the Fund's overall performance will be
more  susceptible  to  the  economic,  business,  or  other  developments  which
generally affect that sector.  The Fund can still be diversified,  even if it is
heavily weighted in one or more sectors.

[KEY ICON] INVESCO SELECT INCOME FUND - INVESTOR CLASS, CLASS A, B, C, AND K

The Fund  normally  invests at least 80% of it net  assets in bonds,  other debt
securities,  and preferred stocks.  Normally,  at least 50% of the Fund's assets
are invested in investment  grade  securities at the time of purchase.  While an
investment  grade rating does not guarantee  that a security will be profitable,
such  securities  generally  carry  less  risk  than  securities  that  are  not
investment  grade. Up to 50% of the Fund's assets may consist of corporate bonds
or preferred  stocks rated below  investment  grade  ("junk  bonds");  provided,
however, that investments in unrated securities may not exceed 25% of the Fund's
assets.

A  portion  of the  Fund's  assets  may be  invested  in  securities  issued  or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities,  bank CDs,
and municipal obligations, repurchase agreements and money market funds.

At any given  time,  the Fund may be  subject  to sector  risk.  Companies  with
similar  lines  of  business  (for  example,   financial  services,  health,  or
technology) are grouped together in broad categories called sectors. Sector risk
is the possibility that a certain sector may  underperform  other sectors or the
market as a whole.  The Fund is not limited  with respect to sectors in which it
can invest.  If the portfolio  manager  allocates  more of the Fund's  portfolio
holdings to a particular economic sector, the Fund's overall performance will be
more  susceptible  to  the  economic,  business,  or  other  developments  which
generally affect that sector.  The Fund can still be diversified,  even if it is
heavily weighted in one or more sectors.

[KEY ICON] INVESCO TAX-FREE BOND FUND  - INVESTOR CLASS, CLASS A, B, AND C

The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities
issued by state, county, and city governments,  including industrial development
obligations and private activity bonds which generally are not guaranteed by the
governmental  entity that issues  them.  The  interest  on these  securities  is
generally exempt from federal income tax,  although the interest may be included
in your income if you are subject to the federal  alternative  minimum  tax. The
interest on these  securities may be subject to state and/or local income taxes.
Portions of capital gain  distributions  made by the Fund may be taxable.  These
securities  include  municipal notes,  short-term  municipal bonds, and variable
rate debt  obligations.  Municipal  obligations  may be  purchased  or sold on a
delayed  delivery or a  when-issued  basis with  settlement  taking place in the
future. The Fund may purchase  securities together with the right to resell them
to the seller at an  agreed-upon  price or yield  within a specific  time period
prior  to the  maturity  date of the  securities.  This is  commonly  known as a
"demand feature" or a "put."

The rest of the  Fund's  investment  portfolio  may be  invested  in  short-term
taxable  instruments.   These  may  include  corporate  debt  securities,   bank
obligations,  commercial paper, U.S. government debt, and repurchase agreements.
The circumstances under which the Fund will invest in taxable securities include
but are not limited to: (a) pending investment of proceeds of sales of portfolio
securities; (b) pending settlement of purchases of portfolio securities; and (c)
maintaining liquidity to meet the need for anticipated  redemptions.  We seek to
manage the Fund so that  substantially all of the income produced is exempt from
federal income tax when paid to you, although we cannot guarantee this result.
<PAGE>
[KEY ICON] INVESCO U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND - INVESTOR CLASS, CLASS A, B,
           AND C

The Fund  normally  invests  at least 80% of its net  assets in debt  securities
issued  or   guaranteed   by  the  U.S.   government  or  its  agencies  and  or
instrumentalities.  Direct U.S.  government  obligations include Treasury bonds,
bills,  and  notes,  and are  backed by the full  faith  and  credit of the U.S.
Treasury.  Federal  agency  securities  are direct  obligations  of the  issuing
agency,  such  as  Government  National  Mortgage  Association  (GNMA),  Federal
National Mortgage  Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(FHLMC),  and may or may not be  guaranteed  by the  U.S.  government.  Treasury
bills,  notes,  bonds,  and some agency  securities are exempt from state income
tax.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

Performance  information in the bar charts below is that of the Funds'  Investor
Class  shares  which has the longest  operating  history of the Funds'  classes.
Information  included in the table is that of Investor  Class,  Class C, and, if
applicable,  Class K shares.  Performance  information  for Class A and B is not
shown in the  table as those  classes  do not yet have a full  calendar  year of
performance.  Investor  Class and Class A, B, C, and K returns  would be similar
because all classes of shares invest in the same  portfolio of  securities.  The
returns of the classes would differ,  however, to the extent of differing levels
of expenses.  In this regard,  the returns reflected in the bar charts and table
reflect only the applicable  total expenses of the class shown. If the effect of
the other  classes' total  expenses were  reflected,  the returns would be lower
than those shown because the other classes have higher total expenses.

The bar charts below show the Funds'  Investor  Class actual yearly  performance
(commonly  known as their "total  return") for the years ended  December 31 over
the past  decade.  The  returns in the bar charts do not  reflect a 12b-1 fee in
excess  of 0.25%,  the  sales  charge  for  Class A  shares,  or the  applicable
contingent  deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class B or Class C shares;  if they
did, the total returns  shown would be lower.  The table below shows the pre-tax
and  after-tax  average  annual  total  returns of Investor  Class,  and pre-tax
average annual total returns of Class C, and, if applicable,  Class K shares for
various periods ended December 31, 2001 compared to the Merrill Lynch High Yield
Master Trust Index, Lehman  Government/Credit  Bond Index, Lehman Municipal Bond
Index,  or Lehman  Government Long Bond Index.  The after-tax  returns are shown
only for Investor  Class shares.  After-tax  returns for other classes of shares
offered in this Prospectus will vary.

After-tax returns are provided on a pre-redemption  and  post-redemption  basis.
Pre-redemption  returns assume you continue to hold your shares and pay taxes on
Fund distributions (i.e.,  dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes
that may be incurred upon selling or exchanging shares.  Post-redemption returns
assume  payment  of taxes on fund  distributions  and also that you  close  your
account and pay remaining federal taxes.  After-tax returns are calculated using
the  highest  individual  federal  income  tax  rates in  effect at the time the
distribution is paid. State and local taxes are not considered. Actual after-tax
returns  depend on an investor's  tax situation and may differ from those shown.
For investors  holding their shares in tax-deferred  arrangements such as 401(k)
plans or individual  retirement  accounts,  the after-tax  returns shown are not
relevant.

The  information  in the charts and table  illustrates  the  variability of each
Fund's  total  return and how its  performance  compared  to a broad  measure of
market performance. Remember, past performance (before and after taxes) does not
indicate how a Fund will perform in the future.

</TABLE>
(1) If you buy  $1,000,000  or more of Class A shares  and redeem  those  shares
within  eighteen  months from the date of purchase,  you may pay a 1% contingent
deferred  sales charge (CDSC) at the time of  redemption.  For  qualified  plans
investing in Class A shares,  you may pay a CDSC of 1% on your Class A shares if
the plan is redeemed  within  twelve  months from initial  deposit in the plan's
INVESCO account.  For qualified plans investing in Class K shares, you may pay a
CDSC of 0.70% on your  Class K shares  if the  plan is  redeemed  within  twelve
months  from  initial  deposit in the  plan's  INVESCO  account.  Please see the
sections entitled "How To Buy Shares" and "How To Sell Shares."

(2) A 5% and 1% CDSC may be charged on Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Please see the section entitled "How To Buy Shares."

(3) A 2% fee is charged on  redemptions or exchanges of shares held three months
or less,  other than shares  acquired  through  reinvestment  of  dividends  and
distributions.

(4) Because each class pays a 12b-1  distribution and service fee which is based
upon each class's assets, if you own shares of a Fund for a long period of time,
you may pay more than the economic  equivalent  of the maximum  front-end  sales
charge  permitted  for mutual funds by the National  Association  of  Securities
Dealers, Inc.

(5) Each Fund's actual Other Expenses and Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses
were, with the exception of Class A and B, lower than the figures shown, because
their custodian fees were reduced under expense offset arrangements.

(6)  Effective  June 1, 2002,  INVESCO is  entitled  to  reimbursement  from the
classes for fees and expenses  absorbed  pursuant to voluntary  and  contractual
expense   limitation   commitments   between  INVESCO  and  the  Funds  if  such
reimbursements  do not  cause a class  to  exceed  expense  limitations  and the
reimbursement is made within three years after INVESCO incurred the expense. The
voluntary expense limitations may be changed at any time following  consultation
with the board of directors.

(7) Certain  expenses of High Yield Fund - Investor Class,  Select Income Fund -
Investor  Class,  Tax-Free  Bond  Fund -  Investor  Class  and  U.S.  Government
Securities Fund - Investor Class were absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO  pursuant
to commitments  between the Funds and INVESCO.  These commitments may be changed
at  any  time  following  consultation  with  the  board  of  directors.   After
absorption,  but excluding any expense  offset  arrangements,  High Yield Fund's
Investor Class shares' Other  Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating  Expenses
were  0.53%  and  1.26%,   respectively,   of  the  Fund's  average  net  assets
attributable  to Investor  Class shares;  Select Income  Fund's  Investor  Class
shares' Other Expenses and Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses were 0.28% and
1.05%,  respectively,  of the Fund's average net assets attributable to Investor
Class shares;  Tax-Free Bond Fund's  Investor  Class shares' Other  Expenses and
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses were 0.10% and 0.90%, respectively,  of the
Fund's  average net assets  attributable  to  Investor  Class  shares;  and U.S.
Government  Securities  Fund's  Investor  Class shares' Other Expenses and Total
Annual Fund Operating Expenses were 0.20% and 1.00%, respectively, of the Fund's
average net assets attributable to Investor Class shares.

(8) Based on estimated  expenses for the current fiscal year,  which may be more
representative than actual expenses shown in the financial highlights due to the
relatively  short period from  inception of Class A and Class B on April 1, 2002
through August 31, 2002.
<PAGE>
(9) Certain expenses of High Yield Fund - Class C, Select Income Fund - Class C,
Tax-Free Bond Fund - Class C, and U.S. Government Securities Fund - Class C were
absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO  pursuant to commitments  between the Funds and
INVESCO.  These  commitments  may be changed at any time following  consultation
with the board of directors.  After absorption, but excluding any expense offset
arrangements,  High Yield Fund's Class C shares' Other Expenses and Total Annual
Fund  Operating  Expenses  were  0.52% and  2.00%,  respectively,  of the Fund's
average net assets attributable to Class C shares;  Select Income Fund's Class C
shares' Other Expenses and Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses were 0.28% and
1.80%,  respectively,  of the Fund's average net assets  attributable to Class C
shares;  Tax-Free  Bond Fund's Class C shares'  Other  Expenses and Total Annual
Fund  Operating  Expenses  were  0.10% and  1.65%,  respectively,  of the Fund's
average  net  assets  attributable  to  Class  C  shares;  and  U.S.  Government
Securities Fund's Class C shares' Other Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating
Expenses were 0.20% and 1.75%,  respectively,  of the Fund's  average net assets
attributable to Class C shares.

(10)  Certain  expenses  of High Yield Fund - Class K and Select  Income  Fund -
Class K were absorbed voluntarily by INVESCO pursuant to commitments between the
Funds and  INVESCO.  These  commitments  may be  changed  at any time  following
consultation with the board of directors.  After  absorption,  but excluding any
expense  offset  arrangements,  High Yield Fund's Class K shares' Other Expenses
and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses were 0.52% and 1.45%, respectively,  of
the Fund's average net assets  attributable to Class K shares; and Select Income
Fund's Class K shares' Other Expenses and Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses
were  0.28%  and  1.25%,   respectively,   of  the  Fund's  average  net  assets
attributable to Class K shares.

(11) To limit expenses, INVESCO has contractually obligated itself to waive fees
and bear any expenses through August 31, 2004 that would cause ratio of expenses
to  average  net  assets to exceed  2.10% for Class A shares,  2.75% for each of
Class B and Class C shares, and 2.20% for Class K shares.

(12) Certain  expenses of Select  Income Fund - Class A, Tax-Free Bond Fund -
Class  A,  and  U.S.  Government  Securities  Fund - Class  A will  be  absorbed
voluntarily by INVESCO  pursuant to  commitments  between the Funds and INVESCO.
These  commitments  may be changed at any time following  consultation  with the

arrangements,  Select  Income  Fund's Class A shares'  Other  Expenses and Total

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
The  Example  is  intended  to help you  compare  the cost of  investing  in the
Investor Class, Class A, Class B, Class C, and, if applicable, Class K shares of
the Funds to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invested $10,000 in Investor Class,  Class A, Class
B, Class C, or Class K shares of a Fund for the time periods  indicated.  Within
each Example,  there is an assumption  that you redeem all of your shares at the
end of those  periods and that you keep your  shares.  The Example  also assumes
that your  investment had a hypothetical  5% return each year, and that a Fund's
Investor  Class,  Class A,  Class B,  Class C,  and  Class K  shares'  operating
expenses remain the same.  Although the actual costs and performance of a Fund's
Investor  Class,  Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class K shares may be higher or
lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

[ARROWS ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

BEFORE INVESTING IN A FUND, YOU SHOULD DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF RISK WITH WHICH
YOU ARE COMFORTABLE. TAKE INTO ACCOUNT FACTORS LIKE YOUR AGE, CAREER, INCOME
LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.

You should determine the level of risk with which you are comfortable before you
invest.  The principal  risks of investing in any mutual fund,  including  these
Funds, are:

NOT INSURED.  Mutual  funds are not insured by the FDIC or any other  government
agency, unlike bank deposits such as CDs or savings accounts.

NO  GUARANTEE.  No mutual fund can  guarantee  that it will meet its  investment
objectives.

POSSIBLE LOSS OF INVESTMENT. A mutual fund cannot guarantee its performance, nor
assure you that the market value of your investment will increase.  You may lose
the money you  invest,  and the Funds  will not  reimburse  you for any of these
losses.
<PAGE>
VOLATILITY.  The price of your mutual fund shares will increase or decrease with
changes  in the value of a Fund's  underlying  investments  and  changes  in the
equity markets as a whole.

NOT A COMPLETE  INVESTMENT  PLAN.  An  investment  in any  mutual  fund does not
constitute a complete  investment plan. The Funds are designed to be only a part
of your personal investment plan.

[ARROWS ICON] PRINCIPAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUNDS

You should consider the special risk factors discussed below associated with the
Funds' policies in determining the  appropriateness  of investing in a Fund. See
the Statement of  Additional  Information  for a discussion  of additional  risk
factors.

INTEREST RATE RISK
Changes in interest rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities  held
in a Fund's portfolio.  In general,  as interest rates rise, the resale value of
debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the resale value of debt
securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with longer maturities usually
are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

CREDIT RISK
The Funds  invest in debt  instruments,  such as notes,  bonds,  and  commercial
paper.  There is a  possibility  that the issuers of these  instruments  will be
unable to meet interest  payments or repay  principal.  Changes in the financial
strength of an issuer may reduce the credit rating of its debt  instruments  and
may affect their value.

DEBT SECURITIES RISKS
Debt securities include bonds,  notes, and other securities that give the holder
the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest, or both on a date in
the  future  or on  demand.  Debt  securities  also  are  often  referred  to as
fixed-income  securities,  even if the rate of interest  varies over the life of
the security.

Debt  securities  are generally  subject to credit risk and market risk.  Credit
risk is the risk that the issuer of the security may be unable to meet  interest
or principal payments or both as they come due. Market risk is the risk that the
market  value of the  security  may decline for a variety of reasons,  including
changes in interest  rates.  An  increase in interest  rates tends to reduce the
market values of debt securities in which a Fund invests.  A decline in interest
rates tends to increase  the market  values of debt  securities  in which a Fund
invests.

Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's")  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")
ratings  provide a useful but not certain  guide to the credit risk of many debt
securities. The lower the rating of a debt security, the greater the credit risk
the  rating  service  assigns  to the  security.  To  compensate  investors  for
accepting  that  greater  risk,  lower-rated  securities  tend to  offer  higher
interest  rates.  Lower-rated  debt  securities  are often  referred to as "junk
bonds." A debt security is  considered  lower grade if it is rated Ba or less by
Moody's or BB or less by S&P.

Lower-rated and non-rated debt  securities of comparable  quality are subject to
wider fluctuations in yields and market values than higher-rated debt securities
and may be  considered  speculative.  Junk bonds are  perceived  by  independent
rating  agencies as having a greater risk that their issuers will not be able to
pay the interest and  principal as they become due over the life of the bond. In
addition to the loss of interest payments,  the market value of a defaulted bond
would  likely  drop,  and a Fund  would  be  forced  to sell it at a loss.  Debt
securities rated lower than B by either S&P or Moody's are usually considered to
be highly speculative.
<PAGE>
In addition to poor individual company  performance in the marketplace or in its
internal  management,  a significant  economic  downturn or increase in interest
rates may cause issuers of debt  securities to  experience  increased  financial
problems   which  could  hurt  their  ability  to  pay  principal  and  interest
obligations,  to  meet  projected  business  goals,  and  to  obtain  additional
financing.  These  conditions more severely  affect issuers of lower-rated  debt
securities.  The market for  lower-rated  straight debt securities may not be as
liquid as the market  for  higher-rated  straight  debt  securities.  Therefore,
INVESCO  attempts to limit  purchases of  lower-rated  securities  to securities
having an established secondary market.

Debt  securities  rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks of
non-payment of principal or interest.  Lower-rated securities by S&P (categories
BB, B, and CCC) include those which are predominantly speculative because of the
issuer's perceived  incapacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance
with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation  and CCC a high
degree of  speculation.  While such  bonds will  likely  have some  quality  and
protective characteristics,  these are usually outweighed by large uncertainties
or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

DURATION RISK
Duration is a measure of a debt security's sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Duration is usually  expressed in terms of years,  with longer durations usually
more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.

LIQUIDITY RISK
A Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the securities it owns
at a fair price within a reasonable time.  Liquidity is generally related to the
market  trading  volume  for  a  particular  security.  Investments  in  smaller
companies or in foreign  companies or companies in emerging  markets are subject
to a variety of risks, including potential lack of liquidity.

PREPAYMENT RISK
The Funds invest in Government Agency mortgage-backed  securities.  In the event
that a high  volume of  mortgages  are  prepaid,  thereby  reducing  income from
interest on the principal of such  mortgages,  the  opportunity  for the Fund to
earn income may be decreased.


COUNTERPARTY RISK
This  is a  risk  associated  primarily  with  repurchase  agreements  and  some
derivatives transactions. It is the risk that the other party in the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual  obligation to complete the transaction  with a
Fund.


FOREIGN SECURITIES RISKS
Investments  in foreign and emerging  markets  carry  special  risks,  including
currency,  political,  regulatory,  and diplomatic  risks. High Yield and Select
Income Funds may invest up to 25% of their  assets in foreign  debt  securities.
Securities of Canadian issuers and American  Depository Receipts are not subject
to this 25% limitation.

          CURRENCY RISK. A change in the exchange rate between U.S.  dollars and
          a foreign  currency may reduce the value of a Fund's  investment  in a
          security  valued in the foreign  currency,  or based on that  currency
          value.

          POLITICAL RISK.  Political actions,  events, or instability may result
          in unfavorable changes in the value of a security.

          REGULATORY  RISK.  Government  regulations  may  affect the value of a
          security.  In  foreign  countries,  securities  markets  that are less
          regulated than those in the U.S. may permit trading practices that are
          not allowed in the U.S.

          DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and
          a foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of investments.

LACK OF TIMELY INFORMATION RISK
Timely   information  about  a  security  or  its  issuer  may  be  unavailable,
incomplete,  or  inaccurate.  This risk is more common to  securities  issued by
foreign companies and companies in emerging markets than it is to the securities
of U.S.-based companies.
<PAGE>
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER RISK
A Fund's  investments  may be  bought  and sold  relatively  frequently.  A high
turnover  rate may  affect a Fund's  performance  because  it  results in higher
brokerage  commissions and may result in taxable gain  distributions to a Fund's
shareholders.

               --------------------------------------------------

Although  each Fund  generally  invests in debt  securities,  the Funds also may
invest in other types of securities and other financial instruments as indicated
in the chart below.  Although  these  investments  typically are not part of any
Fund's principal investment strategy,  they may constitute a significant portion
of a Fund's portfolio, thereby possibly exposing a Fund and its investors to the
following additional risks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ARROWS ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

When securities markets or economic conditions are unfavorable or unsettled,  we
might try to protect the assets of a Fund by  investing in  securities  that are
highly  liquid,  such as  high-quality  taxable  money market  instruments  like
short-term  U.S.  government   obligations,   commercial  paper,  or  repurchase
agreements,  even though that is not the normal investment strategy of any Fund.
We have the right to invest up to 100% of a Fund's  assets in these  securities,
although we are  unlikely to do so. Even  though the  securities  purchased  for
defensive  purposes often are considered the equivalent of cash,  they also have
their own risks.  Investments that are highly liquid or comparatively  safe tend
to offer lower returns.  Therefore,  a Fund's performance could be comparatively
lower if it concentrates in defensive holdings.

[ARROWS ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

We actively manage and trade the Funds' portfolios. Therefore, some of the Funds
may have a higher  portfolio  turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds.
The Fund with a higher-than-average  portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal year
ended August 31, 2002, was:

          U.S. Government Securities Fund 166%(1)

          (1) The  increase  in  portfolio  turnover  over  the  prior  year was
          primarily  due to an  increase  in the size of the Fund as well as the
          shortening of the average weighted maturity of Fund investments.

A portfolio  turnover rate of 200%, for example,  is equivalent to a Fund buying
and selling all of the  securities in its portfolio two times in the course of a
year. A comparatively high turnover rate may affect a Fund's performance because
it results in higher  brokerage  commissions  and may result in taxable  capital
gain distributions to a Fund's shareholders.

for capital  growth.  Like most mutual funds,  each Fund seeks to provide higher
returns  than  the  market  or  its  competitors,   but  cannot  guarantee  that
performance.  Each Fund seeks to minimize  risk by investing  in many  different
companies in a variety of issuers.

SUITABILITY FOR INVESTORS
Only you can  determine if an  investment  in a Fund is right for you based upon
your own economic situation, the risk level with which you are comfortable,  and
other factors. In general, the Funds are most suitable for investors who:
o are primarily seeking higher current income; and, for High Yield, Select
  Income, and U.S. Government Securities Funds, a secondary opportunity for
  capital growth.
o understand that shares of a Fund can, and likely will, have daily price
  fluctuations.
o are investing through tax-deferred retirement accounts, such as
  traditional and Roth Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), as well as
  employer-sponsored qualified retirement plans, including 401(k)s and
  403(b)s, all of which have longer investment horizons.

You probably do not want to invest in the Funds if you are:
o primarily seeking high rates of capital growth or total return (although High
  Yield, Select Income, and U.S. Government Securities Funds do seek to provide
  capital growth in addition to income).
o unwilling to accept potentially significant changes in the price of Fund
  shares.
o speculating on short-term fluctuations in the stock markets.

[INVESCO ICON] SHARE PRICE

CURRENT MARKET VALUE OF FUND ASSETS
+ ACCRUED INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS
- FUND DEBTS,
 INCLUDING ACCRUED EXPENSES
---------------------------
/ NUMBER OF SHARES
= YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV)

The value of your Fund shares is likely to change daily.  This value is known as
the Net Asset Value per share,  or NAV.  INVESCO  determines the market value of
each  investment  in each  Fund's  portfolio  each day  that the New York  Stock
Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open,  at the close of the  regular  trading  day on that
exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time).  Therefore,  shares of the Funds are
not priced on days when the NYSE is closed, which generally is on weekends, most
national holidays in the U.S., and Good Friday.

NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of a Fund's
investments  and  other  assets,   including  accrued  interest  and  dividends;
subtracting  the Fund's debts,  including  accrued  expenses;  and dividing that
dollar  amount by the total  number of the Fund's  outstanding  shares.  Because
their expenses vary, NAV is calculated separately for each class.

All  purchases,  sales,  and exchanges of Fund shares are made by INVESCO at the
NAV next calculated  after INVESCO receives proper  instructions  from you, your
financial  intermediary,  or your plan or program sponsor.  Instructions must be
received  by INVESCO no later than the close of the NYSE to effect  transactions
at that day's NAV. If INVESCO  receives  instructions  from you, your  financial
intermediary,  or your plan or program sponsor after that time, the instructions
will  be  processed  at  the  NAV  next   calculated   after  receipt  of  these
instructions.  Financial institutions that process customer transactions through
the  National  Securities  Clearing   Corporation's   Fund/SERV  and  Networking
facilities must obtain their  customers'  permission for each  transaction,  and
each  financial  institution  retains  responsibility  to its  customers for any
errors or irregularities related to these transactions.
<PAGE>
Foreign securities  exchanges,  which set the prices for foreign securities held
by the Funds, are not always open the same days as the NYSE, and may be open for
business on days the NYSE is not.  For  example,  Thanksgiving  Day is a holiday
observed by the NYSE and not by overseas exchanges. In this situation, the Funds
would not calculate NAV on Thanksgiving Day (and INVESCO would not buy, sell, or
exchange shares for you on that day), even though activity on foreign  exchanges
could  result in changes in the value of  investments  held by the Funds on that
day.

[INVESCO ICON] HOW TO BUY SHARES

TO BUY SHARES AT THAT DAY'S CLOSING PRICE,  YOU MUST CONTACT US BEFORE THE CLOSE
OF THE NYSE, NORMALLY 4:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME.

The Funds offer  multiple  classes of shares.  The chart in this  section  shows
several  convenient  ways to  invest in the  shares  of the Funds if you  invest
directly  through  INVESCO.  If  you  invest  in  a  Fund  through  a  financial
intermediary,  please  consult the  financial  intermediary,  or with respect to
Class K shares,  the plan or program  sponsor,  for more  information  on how to
purchase shares of a Fund. You may be charged a commission or transaction fee by
the  financial  intermediary  or plan or program  sponsor for purchases of Fund
shares.

With the  exception  of Class A shares,  there is no  charge to invest  directly
through  INVESCO.  Class A shares are subject to a front-end  sales charge.  For
more  information  on this charge,  please see the  subsection  entitled  "Sales
Charges." If you buy  $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares and redeem the shares
within eighteen  months from the date of purchase,  you may pay a 1% CDSC at the
time of  redemption.  If you are a qualified  plan and elect to receive a dealer
concession,  you  may pay a CDSC of 1% on your  Class A  shares  if the  plan is
redeemed  within  twelve  months  from  initial  deposit in the  plan's  INVESCO
account.  If you are a qualified plan and elect to forego the dealer concession,
you will not be charged a CDSC.  With  respect to  redemption  of Class B shares
held six years or less, a CDSC of 1%-5% of the total original cost of the shares
may be assessed.  With  respect to  redemption  of Class C shares held  thirteen
months or less,  a CDSC of 1% of the total  original  cost of the  shares may be
assessed.  With respect to Class K shares, if you are a qualified plan and elect
to  receive  a dealer  concession,  you may pay a CDSC of 0.70% on your  Class K
shares if the plan is redeemed  within twelve months from initial deposit in the
plan's  INVESCO  account.  If you are a  qualified  plan and elect to forego the
dealer concession, you will not be charged a CDSC. In determining whether a CDSC
applies to a redemption from a non-qualified plan, it is assumed that the shares
being redeemed first are any shares in the  shareholder's  Fund account that are
not subject to a CDSC,  followed by shares held the longest in the shareholder's
account. These charges are not assessed upon Class A, B, C, or K shares acquired
through reinvestment of dividends or other distributions, or Class A, B, C, or K
shares  exchanged  for  the  same  class  of  another  INVESCO  Fund.  For  more
information  on CDSC  charges,  please  see  the  subsection  of the  Prospectus
entitled  "Choosing A Share Class" and the Statement of  Additional  Information
entitled "Distributor."

For all new accounts,  please send a completed application form, and specify the
fund or funds and class or classes of shares you wish to purchase. If you do not
specify a fund or funds,  your initial  investment and any subsequent  purchases
will  automatically  go into INVESCO Cash  Reserves  Fund - Class A, a series of
INVESCO  Money  Market  Funds,  Inc.  You will  receive a  confirmation  of this
transaction and may contact INVESCO to exchange into the fund you choose.

A share of each class  represents  an  identical  interest in a Fund and has the
same rights,  except that each class bears its own  distribution and shareholder
servicing charges, and other expenses. The income attributable to each class and
the dividends  payable on the shares of each class will be reduced by the amount
of the distribution  fee, if applicable,  and the other expenses payable by that
class.

INVESCO  reserves the right to increase,  reduce,  or waive each Fund's  minimum
investment requirements in its sole discretion,  if it determines this action is
in the best  interests of that Fund's  shareholders.  INVESCO also  reserves the
right in its sole  discretion to reject any order to buy Fund shares,  including
purchases by exchange.
<PAGE>
Please remember that if you pay by check,  Automated Clearing House ("ACH"),  or
wire and your funds do not clear,  you will be responsible  for any related loss
to a Fund or INVESCO. If you are already an INVESCO funds shareholder,  the Fund
may seek  reimbursement  for any loss from  your  existing  account(s).

MINIMUM  INITIAL  INVESTMENT.  $1,000,  which is waived for  regular  investment
plans,  including  EasiVest and Direct Payroll Purchase,  and certain retirement
plans, including IRAs.

MINIMUM  SUBSEQUENT  INVESTMENT.  $50 (Minimums are lower for certain retirement
plans.)

</TABLE>
GRANDFATHERED  INVESTORS.  Investor Class shares of a Fund can be purchased only
by:

o Persons or entities who had established an account in any of the
  funds managed and distributed by INVESCO (the "INVESCO Funds") in
  Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002 and have continuously
  maintained such account in Investor Class shares since April 1, 2002;
o Any person or entity listed in the account registration for any
  INVESCO Funds account in Investor Class shares that has been
  established prior to April 1, 2002 and continuously maintained since
  April 1, 2002, such as joint owners, trustees, custodians, and
  designated beneficiaries;
o Customers of certain financial institutions, wrap accounts or other
  fee-based advisory programs, or insurance company separate accounts,
  which have had relationships with INVESCO and/or any of the INVESCO
  Funds' Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002 and continuously
  maintained such relationships since April 1, 2002;
o Defined benefit, defined contribution, and deferred compensation plans; and
o INVESCO employees, INVESCO Funds directors, AMVESCAP employees,
  AMVESCAP directors, and their immediate families.

For more detailed information about eligibility, please call 1-800-525-8085.  If
you hold INVESCO Funds Investor  Class shares through a financial  intermediary,
your eligibility to purchase  Investor Class shares may differ depending on that
institutions' policies.

EXCHANGE POLICY.  You may exchange your shares in any of the Funds for shares of
the same class in another INVESCO fund on the basis of their  respective NAVs at
the time of the exchange.

FUND EXCHANGES CAN BE A CONVENIENT WAY FOR YOU TO DIVERSIFY YOUR INVESTMENTS, OR
TO REALLOCATE YOUR INVESTMENTS WHEN YOUR OBJECTIVES CHANGE.

Before  making any  exchange,  be sure to review the  prospectuses  of the funds
involved and consider the differences  between the funds.  Also, be certain that
you qualify to purchase  certain  classes of shares in the new fund. An exchange
is the sale of shares  from one fund  immediately  followed  by the  purchase of
shares in  another.  Therefore,  any gain or loss  realized  on the  exchange is
recognizable  for federal income tax purposes  (unless,  of course,  you or your
account  qualifies as  tax-deferred  under the Internal  Revenue  Code).  If the
shares of the fund you are selling  have gone up in value since you bought them,
the sale portion of an exchange may result in taxable income to you.
<PAGE>

You will not pay a sales charge when exchanging Class B shares for other Class B
shares,  Class C shares  for other  Class C shares,  or Class K shares for other
Class K shares.  If you make an exchange  involving Class B, Class C, or Class K
shares,  the amount of time you held the  original  shares  will be added to the
holding  period of the Class B, Class C, or Class K shares,  respectively,  into
which you exchanged for the purpose of calculating any CDSC that may be assessed
upon a subsequent redemption.

We have the following policies governing exchanges:
o Both fund accounts involved in the exchange must be registered in exactly the
  same name(s) and Social Security or federal tax I.D. number(s).
o You may make up to four exchanges out of each Fund per twelve-month period,
  but you may be subject to a redemption fee described below.
o Each Fund reserves the right to reject any exchange request, or to
  modify or terminate the exchange policy, if it is in the best interests
  of the Fund. Notice of all such modifications or terminations that affect all
  shareholders of the Fund will be given at least sixty days prior to the
  effective date of the change, except in unusual instances, including a
  suspension of redemption of the exchanged security under Section 22(e) of the
  Investment Company Act of 1940.

In addition,  the ability to exchange may be  temporarily  suspended at any time
that sales of the Fund into which you wish to exchange are temporarily stopped.

REDEMPTION/EXCHANGE  FEES (HIGH YIELD FUND - INVESTOR CLASS ONLY). If you redeem
or exchange  Investor  Class shares of High Yield Fund after  holding them three
months or less (other than shares acquired through  reinvestment of dividends or
other  distributions),  a fee of 2% of the current net asset value of the shares
being  redeemed or  exchanged  will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the
benefit  of the  remaining  shareholders.  This  fee is  intended  to  encourage
long-term investment in the Fund, to avoid transaction and other expenses caused
by  early  redemptions,  and to  facilitate  portfolio  management.  The  fee is
currently  waived  for  institutional,  qualified  retirement  plans, and  other
shareholders  investing  through  omnibus  accounts,  due to  certain  economies
associated with these accounts.  However,  the Fund reserves the right to impose
redemption fees on shares held by such  shareholders at any time if warranted by
the Fund's  future cost of processing  redemptions.  The  redemption  fee may be
modified  or  discontinued  at any time or from time to time.  This fee is not a
deferred sales charge,  is not a commission paid to INVESCO and does not benefit
INVESCO in any way. The fee applies to  redemptions  from the Fund and exchanges
into any of the  other  mutual  funds  that  are also  advised  by  INVESCO  and
distributed  by IDI.  The Fund  will use the  "first-in,  first-out"  method  to
determine  your holding  period.  Under this method,  the date of  redemption or
exchange will be compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in your
account.

CHOOSING A SHARE  CLASS.  In  deciding  which class of shares to  purchase,  you
should consider,  among other things,  (i) the length of time you expect to hold
your shares,  (ii) the  provisions of the  distribution  plan  applicable to the
class, if any, (iii) the eligibility  requirements  that apply to purchases of a
particular  class,  and  (iv)  any  services  you may  receive  in  making  your
investment determination.  Your financial intermediary can help you decide among
the various  classes.  Please  contact your financial  intermediary  for several
convenient  ways to invest  in a Fund.  Class A, B, C, and K shares of the Funds
are available primarily through financial intermediaries.

INTERNET TRANSACTIONS (INVESTOR CLASS - GRANDFATHERED INVESTORS ONLY). Investors
may open new  accounts  and  exchange and redeem  Investor  Class shares of any
INVESCO fund through the INVESCO Web site. To use this service,  you will need a
web  browser  (presently  Netscape  version  4.0 or higher,  Microsoft  Internet
Explorer version 4.0 or higher, or AOL version 5.0 or higher) and the ability to
use the INVESCO Web site.  INVESCO will accept  Internet  purchase  instructions
only for exchanges or if the purchase price is paid to INVESCO through  debiting
your bank account,  and any Internet cash  redemptions  will be paid only to the
same bank account from which the payment to INVESCO originated.  INVESCO imposes
a limit of $25,000 on  Internet  purchase  and  redemption  transactions.  Other
minimum  transaction  amounts are  discussed  in this  Prospectus.  You may also
download an  application  to open an account  from the Web site,  complete it by
hand, and mail it to INVESCO, along with a check.

INVESCO employs reasonable  procedures to confirm that transactions entered into
over the Internet are genuine.  These procedures include the use of alphanumeric
passwords, secure socket layering,  encryption, and other precautions reasonably
designed to protect the integrity,  confidentiality, and security of shareholder
information.  In order to enter into a transaction  on the INVESCO Web site, you
will need an account number,  your Social Security  number,  and an alphanumeric
password.  If INVESCO follows these procedures,  neither INVESCO, its affiliates
nor any INVESCO fund will be liable for any loss,  liability,  cost,  or expense
for following  instructions  communicated  via the Internet that are  reasonably
believed to be genuine or that follow INVESCO's security procedures. By entering
into the user's  agreement with INVESCO to open an account through our Web site,
you lose certain rights if someone gives fraudulent or unauthorized instructions
to INVESCO that result in a loss to you.

Sales charges on Class A shares of the Funds are detailed  below. As used below,
the term  "offering  price" with respect to Class A shares  includes the initial
sales charge.

INITIAL SALES CHARGES.  Class A shares of the Funds are subject to the following
initial sales charges:

CONTINGENT  DEFERRED SALES CHARGE (CDSC) FOR CLASS A AND CLASS K SHARES. You can
purchase  $1,000,000  or more of  Class A shares  at net  asset  value,  and the
distributor  may pay a dealer  concession  and/or a service fee for purchases of
$1,000,000 or more.  However,  if you purchase shares worth  $1,000,000 or more,
they may be subject to a CDSC of 1% if you redeem them prior to eighteen  months
after the date of  purchase.  We will use the  "first-in,  first-out"  method to
determine your holding period. Under this method, the date of redemption will be
compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in your account. If your
holding  period  is less than the  above-stated  time  periods,  the CDSC may be
assessed on the total original cost of the shares. For qualified plans investing
in  Class A  shares,  you may pay a CDSC of 1% if the  plan is  redeemed  within
twelve months from initial deposit in the plan's INVESCO account.  For qualified
plans  investing in Class K shares,  you may pay a CDSC of 0.70% if the plan is
redeemed  within  twelve  months  from  initial  deposit in the  plan's  INVESCO
account.

CDSC FOR CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES. You can purchase Class B and Class C shares
at their net asset  value per share.  However,  when you redeem  them,  they are
subject to a CDSC in the following  percentages.  If your holding period is less
than six years for Class B shares and  thirteen  months for Class C shares,  the
CDSC may be assessed on the amount of the total original cost of the shares.

YEAR SINCE
PURCHASE MADE           CLASS B         CLASS C

First                   5%              1%(1)
Second                  4%              None
Third                   3%              None
Fourth                  3%              None
Fifth                   2%              None
Sixth                   1%              None
Seventh and following   None(2)         None

(1) The first year will consist of the first thirteen months.

(2) Class B shares, along with the pro rata portion of the shares' reinvested
    dividends and distributions, automatically convert to Class A shares at the
    end of the month which is eight years after the date on which such Class B
    shares were purchased.

REDUCED SALES CHARGES AND SALES CHARGE  EXCEPTIONS.  You may qualify for reduced
sales  charges or sales charge  exceptions.  To qualify for these  reductions or
exceptions,   you  or  your  financial   intermediary  must  provide  sufficient
information  at the time of purchase to verify that your purchase  qualifies for
such treatment.

     REDUCED SALES CHARGES. You may be eligible to buy Class A shares at reduced
     initial sales charge rates under Right of  Accumulation or Letter of Intent
     under certain circumstances.

          RIGHT OF  ACCUMULATION.  You may combine your new purchases of Class A
          shares  with Class A shares  that were  previously  purchased  for the
          purpose of  qualifying  for the lower  initial sales charge rates that
          apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the
          new  purchase is based on the total of your  current  purchase and the
          current value of all Class A shares you own.
<PAGE>
          LETTER  OF  INTENT.  Under a Letter  of Intent  (LOI),  you  commit to
          purchase  a  specified  dollar  amount  of Class A shares  of the Fund
          during  thirteen-month  period.  The  amount  you  agree  to  purchase
          determines  the initial  sales charge you pay. If the full face amount
          of the LOI is not  invested by the end of the  thirteen-month  period,
          your account will be adjusted to the higher initial sales charge level
          for the amount actually invested.

     INITIAL SALES CHARGE/CDSC EXCEPTIONS
     You will not pay initial sales charges:
     o on shares purchased by reinvesting dividends and distributions;
     o when exchanging shares of the same class among certain INVESCO funds;
     o when using the reinstatement privilege;
     o when a merger, consolidation, or acquisition of assets of an INVESCO fund
       occurs; and
     o upon automatic conversion of Class B to Class A.

     You will not pay a CDSC:
     o if you purchase less than $1,000,000 of Class A shares;
     o if you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares and hold those
       shares for more than eighteen months;
     o if you redeem Class B shares you held for more than six years;
     o if you redeem Class C shares you held for more than thirteen months;
     o if you participate in the periodic withdrawal program and withdraw up to
       10% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-
       month period. The value of your shares, and applicable twelve-month
       period, will be calculated based upon the value of your account on, and
       the date of, the first periodic withdrawal.
     o if you redeem shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and
       distributions;
     o if you are a qualified plan investing in Class A shares or Class K shares
       and elect to forego any dealer concession;
     o on increases in the net asset value of your shares;
     o to pay account fees;
     o for IRA distributions due to death or disability or periodic
       distributions based on life expectancy;
     o to return excess contributions (and earnings, if applicable) from
       retirement plan accounts; or
     o for redemptions following the death of a shareholder or beneficial owner.

There may be other  situations when you may be able to purchase or redeem shares
at reduced or no sales  charges.  Consult  the Funds'  Statement  of  Additional
Information for further details.

DISTRIBUTION  EXPENSES. We have adopted a Master Distribution Plan and Agreement
(commonly  known as a "12b-1  Plan") for each class of shares of the Funds.  The
12b-1 fees paid by each  Fund's  classes of shares are used to pay  distribution
and service fees to IDI for the sale and  distribution  of the Funds' shares and
to  pay  for  services   provided  to   shareholders.   These  services  include
compensation  to financial  intermediaries  that sell Fund shares and/or service
shareholder  accounts.  Because  each Fund's  shares pay these fees out of their
assets on an ongoing basis, these fees increase the cost of your investment.

Under each 12b-1  Plan,  payments  are  limited  to an amount  computed  at each
class's applicable 12b-1 fee. If distribution  expenses for a class exceed these
computed amounts, IDI pays the difference.  Conversely, if distribution fees are
less than computed amounts, IDI retains the difference.

[INVESCO ICON] YOUR ACCOUNT SERVICES

With the exception of householding,  the following  information pertains only to
shareholders who hold their shares directly through INVESCO.

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNTS.  INVESCO maintains your share account, which contains your
current Fund holdings. The Funds do not issue share certificates.
<PAGE>
INVESCO PROVIDES YOU WITH SERVICES DESIGNED TO MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR YOU TO BUY,
SELL, OR EXCHANGE YOUR SHARES OF ANY INVESCO MUTUAL FUND.

QUARTERLY  INVESTMENT  SUMMARIES.  Each calendar quarter,  you receive a written
statement which  consolidates  and summarizes  account activity and value at the
beginning and end of the period for each of your INVESCO funds.

TRANSACTION  CONFIRMATIONS.  You receive  detailed  confirmations  of individual
purchases,  exchanges,  and sales. If you choose certain  recurring  transaction
plans  (for  instance,  EasiVest),  your  transactions  are  confirmed  on  your
quarterly Investment Summaries.

TELEPHONE  TRANSACTIONS.  You and your financial intermediary or plan or program
sponsor may buy,  exchange,  and sell Fund  shares by  telephone,  unless  these
privileges are specifically declined when the INVESCO new account Application is
filled out.

YOU CAN  CONDUCT  MOST  TRANSACTIONS  AND  CHECK  ON YOUR  ACCOUNT  THROUGH  OUR
TOLL-FREE  TELEPHONE NUMBER. YOU MAY ALSO ACCESS PERSONAL ACCOUNT INFORMATION AT
OUR WEB SITE, INVESCOFUNDS.COM.

Unless you decline the telephone transaction  privileges,  when you fill out and
sign the new account Application, a Telephone Transaction Authorization Form, or
use your telephone  transaction  privileges,  you lose certain rights if someone
gives  fraudulent or unauthorized  instructions to INVESCO that result in a loss
to you.  In general,  if INVESCO has  followed  reasonable  procedures,  such as
recording telephone instructions and sending written transaction  confirmations,
INVESCO is not liable for following  telephone  instructions that it believes to
be  genuine.  Therefore,  you  have  the  risk of loss  due to  unauthorized  or
fraudulent instructions.

HOUSEHOLDING.  To save money for the Funds,  you may receive  only one copy of a
prospectus or financial report to each household address. This process, known as
"householding,"  is used for most  required  shareholder  mailings.  It does not
apply to account statements. You may, of course, request an additional copy of a
prospectus or financial  report at any time by calling or writing  INVESCO.  You
may also  request  that  householding  be  eliminated  from  all  your  required
mailings.

IRAS AND OTHER  RETIREMENT  PLANS.  Shares  of any  INVESCO  mutual  fund may be
purchased for IRAs and many other types of tax-deferred retirement plans. Please
call INVESCO for  information  and forms to establish or transfer  your existing
retirement plan or account.

[INVESCO ICON] HOW TO SELL SHARES

The chart in this section shows several convenient ways to sell your Fund shares
if you  invest  directly  through  INVESCO.  If you  invest in a Fund  through a
financial  intermediary,  please  consult the  financial  intermediary,  or with
respect to Class K shares,  the plan or program sponsor,  for information on how
to sell shares of a Fund. You may be charged a commission or transaction  fee by
your  financial  intermediary,  or plan or  program  sponsor  for  sales of Fund
shares.  Shares of the Funds may be sold at any time at the next NAV  calculated
after your request to sell is received by INVESCO in proper  form.  Depending on
Fund  performance,  the NAV at the time you sell your shares may be more or less
than the price you paid to purchase your shares.

Various  fees may apply to Fund  redemptions.  You may be  charged a CDSC at the
time of redemption,  depending on how long you have held your shares. If you buy
$1,000,000 or more Class A shares and redeem the shares within  eighteen  months
from the date of purchase,  you may pay a 1% CDSC at the time of redemption.  If
you are a qualified plan and elect to receive a dealer concession, you may pay a
CDSC of 1% on your Class A shares if the plan is redeemed  within  twelve months
from initial deposit in the plan's INVESCO account.  If you are a qualified plan
and elect to forego the dealer concession,  you will not be charged a CDSC. With
respect to  redemption of Class B shares held six years or less, a CDSC of 1%-5%
<PAGE>
of the total  original  cost of the  shares  may be  assessed.  With  respect to
redemption of Class C shares held  thirteen  months or less, a CDSC of 1% of the
total  original  cost of the shares  may be  assessed.  With  respect to Class K
shares,  if you are a qualified  plan and elect to receive a dealer  concession,
you may pay a CDSC of 0.70%  on your  Class K  shares  if the  plan is  redeemed
within twelve months from initial deposit in the plan's INVESCO account.  If you
are a qualified plan and elect to forego the dealer concession,  you will not be
charged a CDSC.  In  determining  whether a CDSC applies to a redemption  from a
non-qualified  plan, it is assumed that the shares being  redeemed first are any
shares  in the  shareholder's  Fund  account  that  are not  subject  to a CDSC,
followed by shares held the longest in the shareholder's  account. These charges
are not assessed upon Class A, B, C, or K shares acquired  through  reinvestment
of dividends or other  distributions or Class A, B, C, or K shares exchanged for
the same class of another  INVESCO Fund.  For more  information on CDSC charges,
please see the  subsection of the Prospectus  entitled  "Choosing A Share Class"
and  the  section  of  the   Statement  of   Additional   Information   entitled
"Distributor."

TO SELL SHARES AT THAT DAY'S CLOSING PRICE, YOU MUST CONTACT US BEFORE 4:00 P.M.
EASTERN TIME.

If you own shares in more than one INVESCO fund,  please  specify the fund whose
shares you wish to sell and specify the class of shares.  Remember that any sale
or  exchange  of shares in a  non-retirement  account  will  likely  result in a
taxable gain or loss.

While INVESCO attempts to process telephone redemptions  promptly,  there may be
times--particularly in periods of severe economic or market disruption--when you
may experience delays in redeeming shares by telephone.

INVESCO usually  forwards the proceeds from the sale of fund shares within seven
days after we receive your request to sell in proper form. However,  payment may
be postponed under unusual circumstances--for instance, if normal trading is not
taking place on the NYSE,  or during an  emergency as defined by the  Securities
and Exchange  Commission.  If your INVESCO fund shares were purchased by a check
which has not yet cleared,  payment  will be made  promptly  when your  purchase
check does clear; that can take up to twelve business days.

If you participate in EasiVest, the Funds' automatic monthly investment program,
and sell all of the  shares  in your  account,  we will not make any  additional
EasiVest purchases unless you give us other instructions.

Because of the  Funds'  expense  structures,  it costs as much to handle a small
account as it does to handle a large one. If the value of your account in a Fund
falls below $250 as a result of your  actions  (for  example,  sale of your Fund
shares),  the Fund  reserves  the  right to sell  all of your  shares,  send the
proceeds of the sale to you and close your  account.  Before  this is done,  you
will be notified  and given sixty days to increase  the value of your account to
$250 or more.

REDEMPTION/EXCHANGE  FEES (HIGH YIELD FUND - INVESTOR CLASS ONLY). If you redeem
or exchange  Investor  Class shares of High Yield Fund after  holding them three
months or less (other than shares acquired through  reinvestment of dividends or
other  distributions),  a fee of 2% of the current net asset value of the shares
being  redeemed or  exchanged  will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the
benefit  of the  remaining  shareholders.  This  fee is  intended  to  encourage
long-term investment in the Fund, to avoid transaction and other expenses caused
by  early  redemptions,  and to  facilitate  portfolio  management.  The  fee is
currently  waived  for  institutional,  qualified  retirement  plan,  and  other
shareholders  investing  through  omnibus  accounts,  due to  certain  economies
associated with these accounts.  However,  the Fund reserves the right to impose
redemption fees on shares held by such  shareholders at any time if warranted by
the Fund's  future cost of processing  redemptions.  The  redemption  fee may be
modified  or  discontinued  at any time or from time to time.  This fee is not a
deferred sales charge,  is not a commission paid to INVESCO and does not benefit
INVESCO in any way. The fee applies to  redemptions  from the Fund and exchanges
into any of the  other  mutual  funds  that  are also  advised  by  INVESCO  and
distributed  by IDI.  The Fund  will use the  "first-in,  first-out"  method  to
determine  your holding  period.  Under this method,  the date of  redemption or
exchange will be compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in your
account.

<PAGE>
REINSTATEMENT  PRIVILEGE (CLASS A AND CLASS B ONLY). You may, within ninety days
after  you  sell  Class  A or  Class  B  shares,  reinvest  all or  part of your
redemption  proceeds  in  Class A  shares  of a Fund at net  asset  value  in an
identically registered account. You will not pay any sales charges on the amount
reinvested.  You must notify  INVESCO in writing at the time you reinstate  that
you are exercising your reinstatement privilege. You may exercise this privilege
only once per calendar year.

The  following  chart shows several ways to sell your shares of the Funds if you
invest directly through INVESCO.

[GRAPH ICON] TAXES

Everyone's  tax  status is  unique.  We manage the Funds in an effort to provide
maximum  total  returns  to all  shareholders  of the Funds.  INVESCO  generally
focuses on pre-tax  results  and  ordinarily  does not manage a Fund to minimize
taxes. We may,  nevertheless,  take advantage of opportunities to mitigate taxes
through management of capital gains and losses. We encourage you to consult your
own tax adviser on the tax impact to you of investing  directly or indirectly in
the Funds.

TO AVOID BACKUP  WITHHOLDING,  BE SURE WE HAVE YOUR CORRECT  SOCIAL  SECURITY OR
TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.

Each Fund customarily  distributes to its shareholders  substantially all of its
net investment  income,  net capital gains,  and net gains from foreign currency
transactions,  if any. You receive a proportionate part of these  distributions,
depending on the percentage of a Fund's shares that you own. These distributions
are required under federal tax laws governing  mutual funds. It is the policy of
each Fund to distribute  all investment  company  taxable income and net capital
gains. As a result of this policy and each Fund's  qualification  as a regulated
investment  company,  it is  anticipated  that  none of the  Funds  will pay any
federal income or excise taxes.  Instead,  each Fund will be accorded conduit or
"pass through" treatment for federal income tax purposes.

However,  unless you are (or your account is) exempt from income taxes, you must
include all  dividends and capital gain  distributions  paid to you by a Fund in
your taxable income for federal,  state, and local income tax purposes. You also
may  realize  capital  gains or losses when you sell shares of a Fund at more or
less than the price you  originally  paid. An exchange is treated as a sale, and
is a taxable  event.  Dividends  and other  distributions  usually  are  taxable
whether you receive them in cash or automatically reinvest them in shares of the
distributing Fund(s) or other INVESCO funds.

If you have not provided  INVESCO with complete,  correct tax  information,  the
Funds are  required by law to withhold  from your  distributions,  and any money
that you receive from the sale of shares of the Funds, a backup  withholding tax
at the rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

Unless your  account is held through a financial  intermediary,  we will provide
you with detailed  information  every year about your dividends and capital gain
distributions. Depending on the activity in your individual account, we may also
be able to assist with cost basis figures for shares you sell.

[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

The Funds earn ordinary or investment income from interest on their investments.
The Funds expect to distribute substantially all of this investment income, less
Fund  expenses,  to  shareholders.  Dividends  from net  investment  income  are
declared  daily and paid monthly at the  discretion  of the  Company's  board of
directors.  Please note that classes  with higher  expenses are expected to have
lower dividends.
<PAGE>
NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME  AND NET  REALIZED  CAPITAL  GAINS  ARE  DISTRIBUTED  TO
SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.  DISTRIBUTIONS ARE TAXABLE WHETHER REINVESTED IN
ADDITIONAL  SHARES OR PAID TO YOU IN CASH (EXCEPT FOR TAX-EXEMPT OR TAX-DEFERRED
ACCOUNTS).

Each Fund also realizes  capital gains or losses when it sells securities in its
portfolio  for more or less than it had paid for them.  If total  gains on sales
exceed total losses  (including  losses carried forward from previous  years), a
Fund has a net realized  capital gain. Net realized  capital gains,  if any, are
distributed to shareholders at least annually,  usually in November or December.
Dividends and capital gain  distributions  are paid to you if you hold shares on
the record date of the  distribution  regardless  of how long you have held your
shares.

Under present federal income tax laws, capital gains may be taxable at different
rates,  depending  on how  long a  Fund  has  held  the  underlying  investment.
Short-term capital gains which are derived from the sale of assets held one year
or less are taxed as ordinary income.  Long-term capital gains which are derived
from the sale of  assets  held  for  more  than one year are  taxed at up to the
maximum capital gains rate, currently 20% for individuals.

A Fund's daily NAV reflects  all realized  capital  gains that have not yet been
distributed to shareholders.  Therefore, a Fund's NAV will drop by the amount of
a  distribution,  net of market  fluctuations,  on the day the  distribution  is
declared.  If you buy shares of a Fund just before a  distribution  is declared,
you may wind up "buying a distribution."  This means that if the Fund declares a
dividend or capital gain  distribution  shortly  after you buy, you will receive
some of your investment back as a taxable distribution. Although purchasing your
shares at the  resulting  higher NAV may mean a smaller  capital gain or greater
loss upon sale of the shares,  most  shareholders  want to avoid the purchase of
shares immediately before the distribution  record date.  However,  keep in mind
that your basis in the Fund will be increased  to the extent such  distributions
are  reinvested in the Fund. If you sell your shares of a Fund at a loss for tax
purposes and then replace those shares with a substantially identical investment
either  thirty  days  before or after  that  sale,  the  transaction  is usually
considered a "wash sale" and you will not be able to claim a tax loss.

Dividends  and capital gain  distributions  paid by each Fund are  automatically
reinvested in  additional  Fund shares at the NAV on the  ex-distribution  date,
unless you choose to have them automatically  reinvested in another INVESCO fund
or paid to you by check or electronic  funds transfer.  If you choose to be paid
by check,  the minimum  amount of the check must be at least $10;  amounts  less
than that will be automatically  reinvested.  Dividends and other distributions,
whether received in cash or reinvested in additional Fund shares,  are generally
subject to federal income tax.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial  highlights table is intended to help you understand the financial
performance of the various  classes of each Fund for the past five years (or, if
shorter,  the period of the class's  operations).  Certain information  reflects
financial  results  for a single  Fund  share.  The total  returns  in the table
represent the annual percentages that an investor would have earned (or lost) on
an  investment  in  a  Fund   (assuming   reinvestment   of  all  dividends  and
distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent accountants,  whose report, along with the financial statements,  is
included in INVESCO Bond Funds, Inc.'s 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders, which
is incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information.  This
Report is available without charge by contacting IDI at the address or telephone

THE COMPANY

INVESCO Bond Funds,  Inc. (the  "Company")  was  incorporated  under the laws of
Colorado on August 20, 1976 and was  reorganized  as a Maryland  corporation  on
April 2, 1993.  On October  29,  1998,  the name of the  Company  was changed to
INVESCO  Bond Funds,  Inc. On August 16,  1999,  the Company  assumed all of the
assets and liabilities of INVESCO Tax-Free Bond Fund (formerly, INVESCO Tax-Free
Long-Term Bond Fund), a series of INVESCO Tax-Free Income Funds, Inc.

The Company is an open-end, diversified, management investment company currently
consisting of four portfolios of investments: INVESCO High Yield Fund - Investor
Class,  Class A, B, C, and K; INVESCO Select Income Fund - Investor Class, Class
A, B, C, and K; INVESCO Tax-Free Bond Fund - Investor Class,  Class A, B, and C;
and INVESCO U.S. Government  Securities Fund - Investor Class, Class A, B, and C
(each a "Fund" and collectively  the "Funds").  Additional funds and classes may
be offered in the future.

"Open-end"  means that each Fund issues an indefinite  number of shares which it
continuously  offers  to  redeem  at  net  asset  value  per  share  ("NAV").  A
"management"  investment  company  actively  buys and sells  securities  for the
portfolio of each Fund at the  direction  of a  professional  manager.  Open-end
management  investment companies (or one or more series of such companies,  such
as the Funds) are commonly referred to as mutual funds.

INVESTMENTS, POLICIES, AND RISKS

The  principal  investments  and  policies  of the  Funds are  discussed  in the
Prospectus of the Funds.  The Funds also may invest in the following  securities
and engage in the following practices.

AMT BONDS (TAX-FREE BOND FUND ONLY) -- These are "private activity bonds" issued
after  August 7, 1986;  the proceeds are directed in full or in part to private,
for-profit  organizations.  The  income  from AMT Bonds is exempt  from  federal
income tax,  but may be subject to the  alternative  minimum tax - a special tax
that  applies  to  taxpayers  who have  certain  adjustments  to  income  or tax
preference  items.  The Fund will not invest  more than 20% of its net assets in
AMT bonds.

CERTIFICATES  OF DEPOSIT IN FOREIGN BANKS AND U.S.  BRANCHES OF FOREIGN BANKS --
The Funds may maintain  time deposits in and invest in U.S.  dollar  denominated
certificates  of deposit  ("CDs")  issued by foreign banks and U.S.  branches of
foreign banks.  The Funds limit  investments in foreign bank obligations to U.S.
dollar denominated obligations of foreign banks which have more than $10 billion
in assets,  have  branches  or  agencies  in the U.S.,  and meet other  criteria
established by the board of directors. Investments in foreign securities involve
special  considerations.  There is generally less publicly available information
about  foreign  issuers  since  many  foreign  countries  do not  have  the same
disclosure  and  reporting  requirements  as are imposed by the U.S.  securities
laws.  Moreover,  foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting,
auditing  and  financial  reporting  requirements,  and  standards  of  practice
comparable to those  applicable to domestic  issuers.  Such investments may also
entail the risks of possible imposition of dividend  withholding or confiscatory
taxes,  possible  currency  blockage  or transfer  restrictions,  expropriation,
nationalization,  or other adverse political or economic  developments,  and the
difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries.

The  Funds  may  also  invest  in  bankers'  acceptances,   time  deposits,  and
certificates of deposit of U.S.  branches of foreign banks and foreign  branches
of U.S. banks. Investments in instruments of U.S. branches of foreign banks will
be made only with  branches  that are  subject to the same  regulations  as U.S.
banks. Investments in instruments issued by a foreign branch of a U.S. bank will
be made only if the investment  risk associated with such investment is the same
as that involving an investment in instruments  issued by the U.S. parent,  with
the U.S.  parent  unconditionally  liable in the event that the  foreign  branch
fails to pay on the investment for any reason.

COMMERCIAL PAPER -- Commercial paper is the term for short-term promissory notes
issued  by  domestic   corporations  to  meet  current  working  capital  needs.
Commercial paper may be unsecured by the corporation's  assets but may be backed
by a letter of credit from a bank or other financial institution.  The letter of
credit enhances the commercial paper's creditworthiness.  The issuer is directly
responsible for payment but the bank  "guarantees"  that if the note is not paid
at maturity by the issuer,  the bank will pay the  principal and interest to the
buyer.  INVESCO Funds Group, Inc.  ("INVESCO"),  the Funds' investment  advisor,
will  consider the  creditworthiness  of the  institution  issuing the letter of
credit, as well as the  creditworthiness  of the issuer of the commercial paper,
when purchasing  paper enhanced by a letter of credit.  Commercial paper is sold
either in an interest-bearing form or on a discounted basis, with maturities not
exceeding 270 days.

DEBT SECURITIES -- Debt securities  include bonds,  notes,  and other securities
that give the holder the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest,
or both on a date in the future or on  demand.  Debt  securities  also are often
referred to as fixed-income securities, even if the rate of interest varies over
the life of the security.

Debt  securities  are generally  subject to credit risk and market risk.  Credit
risk is the risk that the issuer of the security may be unable to meet  interest
or principal payments or both as they come due. Market risk is the risk that the
market  value of the  security  may decline for a variety of reasons,  including
changes in interest  rates.  An  increase in interest  rates tends to reduce the
market  values of debt  securities  in which a Fund has  invested.  A decline in
interest rates tends to increase the market values of debt securities in which a
Fund has invested.

Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's")  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")
ratings provide a useful guide to the credit risk of many debt  securities.  The
lower the rating of a debt  security,  the  greater  the credit  risk the rating
service  assigns to the  security.  To compensate  investors for accepting  that
greater risk,  lower-rated  debt securities tend to offer higher interest rates.
High Yield invests  primarily in lower-rated  securities  commonly known as junk
bonds,  Select  Income may invest up to 50% of its  portfolio  and Tax-Free Bond
Fund may invest up to 10% of its portfolio in such securities,  each at the time
of  purchase.  High Yield Fund may not invest in  securities  rated below Caa by
Moody's or CCC by S&P at the time of purchase. Select Income Fund may not invest
in  securities  rated  below B by Moody's or B- by S&P at the time of  purchase.
Although  Tax-Free Bond Fund may invest in debt securities  assigned lower grade
ratings by S&P or Moody's at the time of purchase  (but never  securities  rated
below B by Moody's or B- by S&P at the time of purchase), the Fund's investments
are generally  concentrated in debt securities rated BBB or higher by S&P or Baa
or higher  by  Moody's.  U.S.  Government  Securities  Fund may  invest  only in
investment grade debt securities.  Increasing the amount of Fund assets invested
in unrated or  lower-grade  straight  debt  securities  may  increase  the yield
produced by the Fund's debt securities but will also increase the credit risk of
those securities. A debt security is considered lower-grade if it is rated Ba or
less by Moody's or BB or less by S&P at the time of  purchase.  Lower-rated  and
non-rated   debt   securities  of  comparable   quality  are  subject  to  wider
fluctuations in yields and market values than  higher-rated  debt securities and
may be considered speculative.

A significant  economic downturn or increase in interest rates may cause issuers
of debt  securities  to  experience  increased  financial  problems  which could
adversely  affect their ability to pay principal  and interest  obligations,  to
meet  projected  business  goals,  and to  obtain  additional  financing.  These
conditions  more severely  impact issuers of lower-rated  debt  securities.  The
market for  lower-rated  straight  debt  securities  may not be as liquid as the
market for higher-rated straight debt securities.

Debt  securities  rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks of
non-payment of principal or interest.  Lower-rated securities by S&P (categories
BB, B, or CCC) include those which are predominantly  speculative because of the
issuer's  perceived  capacity to pay interest and repay  principal in accordance
with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation  and CCC a high
degree of  speculation.  While such  bonds will  likely  have some  quality  and
protective characteristics,  these are usually outweighed by large uncertainties
or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.
<PAGE>
Although bonds in the lowest  investment grade debt category (those rated BBB by
S&P,  Baa  by  Moody's  or the  equivalent)  are  regarded  as  having  adequate
capability to pay principal and interest, they have speculative characteristics.
Adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to
a weakened capacity to make principal and interest payments than is the case for
higher-rated bonds.  Lower-rated bonds by Moody's (categories Ba, B, or Caa) are
of poorer quality and also have speculative characteristics. Bonds rated Caa may
be in  default  or there may be  present  elements  of danger  with  respect  to
principal  or  interest.  While such bonds  likely  will have some  quality  and
protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major
risk exposures to adverse conditions. Bonds having equivalent ratings from other
rating services will have characteristics  similar to those of the corresponding
S&P and Moody's ratings. For a specific description of S&P and Moody's corporate
bond rating categories, please refer to Appendix A.

The Funds may  invest  in zero  coupon  bonds,  step-up  bonds,  mortgage-backed
securities,  and asset-backed securities.  Zero coupon bonds do not make regular
interest  payments.  Zero coupon  bonds are sold at a discount  from face value.
Principal and accrued discount  (representing  interest earned but not paid) are
paid at maturity in the amount of the face value.  Step-up bonds  initially make
no (or low) cash interest  payments but begin paying  interest (or a higher rate
of interest) at a fixed time after  issuance of the bond.  The market  values of
zero coupon and step-up bonds generally fluctuate more in response to changes in
interest rates than interest-paying securities of comparable term and quality. A
Fund may be required to distribute income recognized on these bonds, even though
no cash may be paid to the Fund until the  maturity  or call date of a bond,  in
order for the Fund to  maintain  its  qualification  as a  regulated  investment
company.  These required distributions could reduce the amount of cash available
for  investment by a Fund.  Mortgage-backed  securities  represent  interests in
pools of mortgages while asset-backed  securities  generally represent interests
in pools of consumer  loans.  Both of these are  usually set up as  pass-through
securities.  Interest and principal payments ultimately depend on payment of the
underlying loans, although the securities may be supported, at least in part, by
letters   of  credit  or  other   credit   enhancements   or,  in  the  case  of
mortgage-backed  securities,  guarantees by the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.  The  underlying  loans are subject to  prepayments  that may
shorten the securities' weighted average lives and may lower their returns.

DOMESTIC BANK OBLIGATIONS -- U.S. banks (including their foreign branches) issue
CDs and bankers'  acceptances  which may be purchased by the Funds if an issuing
bank has total assets in excess of $5 billion and the bank  otherwise  meets the
Funds'  credit  rating  requirements.  CDs  are  issued  against  deposits  in a
commercial  bank for a specified  period and rate and are  normally  negotiable.
Eurodollar CDs are certificates issued by a foreign branch (usually London) of a
U.S.  domestic  bank,  and,  as such,  the  credit  is  deemed to be that of the
domestic bank. Bankers' acceptances are short-term credit instruments evidencing
the  promise  of the bank  (by  virtue  of the  bank's  "acceptance")  to pay at
maturity  a draft  which  has been  drawn on it by a  customer  (the  "drawer").
Bankers'  acceptances  are used to finance  the  import,  export,  transfer,  or
storage of goods and reflect the  obligation  of both the bank and the drawer to
pay the face amount.  Both types of securities are subject to the ability of the
issuing  bank to meet its  obligations,  and are subject to risks  common to all
debt  securities.  In addition,  banker's  acceptances may be subject to foreign
currency risk and certain other risks of investment in foreign securities.

EQUITY SECURITIES -- The Funds may invest in common,  preferred, and convertible
preferred  stocks,  and securities whose values are tied to the price of stocks,
such as rights,  warrants,  and convertible debt  securities.  Common stocks and
preferred stocks  represent equity ownership in a corporation.  Owners of stock,
such as the Funds, share in a corporation's earnings through dividends which may
be declared by the  corporation,  although  the receipt of  dividends is not the
principal  benefit  that the Funds seek when they  invest in stocks and  similar
instruments.
<PAGE>
Instead,  the Funds seek to invest in stocks that will  increase in market value
and may be sold for more  than a Fund paid to buy  them.  Market  value is based
upon  constantly  changing  investor  perceptions  of what the  company is worth
compared to other  companies.  Although  dividends  are a factor in the changing
market  value  of  stocks,   many  companies  do  not  pay  dividends,   or  pay
comparatively  small  dividends.  The  principal  risk of  investing  in  equity
securities  is that  their  market  values  fluctuate  constantly,  often due to
factors  entirely  outside the  control of the Funds or the company  issuing the
stock.  At any  given  time,  the  market  value of an  equity  security  may be
significantly higher or lower than the amount paid by a Fund to acquire it.

From time to time,  the Funds may hold common  stock that they  acquire  when an
issuing company converts its debt securities held by the Fund into common stock.
This occurs when issuing companies  recapitalize.  Although the Funds ordinarily
will not hold stock acquired in this manner for extended  periods of time, there
is nothing to prevent  them from holding the stock if they believe that it is in
the best interest of Fund shareholders to hold the stock rather than liquidating
it immediately in an unfavorable market.

Owners  of  preferred  stocks  are  entitled  to  dividends   payable  from  the
corporation's  earnings,  which  in some  cases  may be  "cumulative"  if  prior
dividends  on the  preferred  stock  have not been  paid.  Dividends  payable on
preferred stock have priority over distributions to holders of common stock, and
preferred  stocks generally have a priority on the distribution of assets in the
event of the corporation's liquidation. Preferred stocks may be "participating,"
which  means  that they may be  entitled  to  dividends  in excess of the stated
dividend in certain cases. The holders of a company's debt securities  generally
are  entitled  to be  paid  by  the  company  before  it  pays  anything  to its
stockholders.

Rights and  warrants  are  securities  which  entitle the holder to purchase the
securities of a company (usually,  its common stock) at a specified price during
a specified time period.  The value of a right or warrant is affected by many of
the same factors that determine the prices of common stocks. Rights and warrants
may  be  purchased   directly  or  acquired  in  connection   with  a  corporate
reorganization or exchange offer.

The Funds also may purchase convertible  securities  including  convertible debt
obligations and convertible preferred stock. A convertible security entitles the
holder to  exchange  it for a fixed  number of shares of common  stock (or other
equity  security),  usually at a fixed price within a specified  period of time.
Until  conversion,  the owner of  convertible  securities  usually  receives the
interest  paid on a convertible  bond or the dividend  preference of a preferred
stock.

A convertible  security has an "investment  value" which is a theoretical  value
determined  by the yield it  provides  in  comparison  with  similar  securities
without  the  conversion  feature.  Investment  value  changes  are  based  upon
prevailing  interest rates and other factors.  It also has a "conversion value,"
which  is the  market  value  the  convertible  security  would  have if it were
exchanged for the  underlying  equity  security.  Convertible  securities may be
purchased  at varying  price levels  above or below their  investment  values or
conversion values.

Conversion value is a simple  mathematical  calculation that fluctuates directly
with the price of the underlying  security.  However, if the conversion value is
substantially  below the investment  value,  the market value of the convertible
security is governed  principally  by its  investment  value.  If the conversion
value is near or above the investment value, the market value of the convertible
security  generally will rise above the  investment  value.  In such cases,  the
market  value of the  convertible  security  may be higher  than its  conversion
value,  due to the combination of the convertible  security's  right to interest
(or dividend  preference) and the possibility of capital  appreciation  from the
conversion  feature.  However,  there is no  assurance  that any  premium  above
investment  value or conversion  value will be recovered  because  prices change
and, as a result, the ability to achieve capital appreciation through conversion
may be eliminated.
<PAGE>
SECTOR RISK -- Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in
broad categories  called sectors.  Sector risk is the possibility that a certain
sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. If the portfolio
managers  allocate  more of their  respective  Fund's  portfolio  holdings  to a
particular  sector,  the  Fund's  performance  will be more  susceptible  to the
economic, business, or other developments which generally affect that sector.

FOREIGN  SECURITIES  (HIGH YIELD AND SELECT INCOME FUNDS) --  Investments in the
securities of foreign companies, or companies that have their principal business
activities outside the United States,  involve certain risks not associated with
investments in U.S. companies.  Non-U.S.  companies generally are not subject to
the same uniform  accounting,  auditing,  and financial reporting standards that
apply  to  U.S.  companies.   Therefore,  financial  information  about  foreign
companies  may be  incomplete,  or  may  not be  comparable  to the  information
available  on  U.S.  companies.  There  may  also  be  less  publicly  available
information about a foreign company.

Although  the  volume of  trading in  foreign  securities  markets  is  growing,
securities of many non-U.S. companies may be less liquid and have greater swings
in price than securities of comparable U.S.  companies.  The costs of buying and
selling  securities on foreign securities  exchanges is generally  significantly
higher  than  similar  costs  in the  United  States.  There is  generally  less
government  supervision  and  regulation of exchanges,  brokers,  and issuers in
foreign  countries than there is in the United  States.  Investments in non-U.S.
securities  may also be subject to other risks  different  from those  affecting
U.S.   investments,   including  local   political  or  economic   developments,
expropriation  or  nationalization  of  assets,   confiscatory   taxation,   and
imposition of withholding taxes on dividends or interest payments. If it becomes
necessary,  it may be  more  difficult  for a Fund to  obtain  or to  enforce  a
judgment against a foreign issuer than against a domestic issuer.

Securities  traded on  foreign  markets  are  usually  bought  and sold in local
currencies,  not in  U.S.  dollars.  Therefore,  the  market  value  of  foreign
securities  acquired by a Fund can be affected -- favorably or unfavorably -- by
changes in currency rates and exchange control  regulations.  Costs are incurred
in  converting  money from one currency to another.  Foreign  currency  exchange
rates are  determined  by supply and  demand on the  foreign  exchange  markets.
Foreign exchange markets are affected by the  international  balance of payments
and  other   economic  and  financial   conditions,   government   intervention,
speculation  and other  factors,  all of which are  outside  the control of each
Fund.  Generally,  the Funds' foreign  currency  exchange  transactions  will be
conducted on a cash or "spot" basis at the spot rate for  purchasing  or selling
currency in the foreign currency exchange markets.

FUTURES, OPTIONS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

GENERAL.  The  advisor  or  sub-advisor  may  use  various  types  of  financial
instruments,  some of which are derivatives,  to attempt to manage the risk of a
Fund's  investments  or, in certain  circumstances,  for investment  (e.g., as a
substitute for investing in  securities).  These financial  instruments  include
options,  futures  contracts  (sometimes  referred  to  as  "futures"),  forward
contracts,   swaps,  caps,  floors,   and  collars   (collectively,   "Financial
Instruments").  The  policies  in this  section  do not apply to other  types of
instruments  sometimes referred to as derivatives,  such as indexed  securities,
mortgage-backed  and other  asset-backed  securities,  and stripped interest and
principal of debt.

Hedging  strategies  can be broadly  categorized as "short" hedges and "long" or
"anticipatory"  hedges. A short hedge involves the use of a Financial Instrument
in order to partially or fully offset  potential  variations in the value of one
or more investments  held in a Fund's  portfolio.  A long or anticipatory  hedge
involves the use of a Financial Instrument in order to partially or fully offset
potential  increases in the acquisition cost of one or more investments that the
Fund intends to acquire. In an anticipatory hedge transaction, the Fund does not
already own a corresponding security. Rather, the hedge relates to a security or
type of  security  that the  Fund  intends  to  acquire.  If the  Fund  does not
eliminate the hedge by purchasing the security as anticipated, the effect on the
Fund's portfolio is the same as if a long position were entered into.  Financial
Instruments may also be used, in certain circumstances, for investment (e.g., as
a substitute for investing in securities).
<PAGE>
Financial  Instruments on individual securities generally are used to attempt to
hedge against price  movements in one or more  particular  securities  positions
that a Fund  already  owns or  intends  to  acquire.  Financial  Instruments  on
indexes, in contrast, generally are used to attempt to hedge all or a portion of
a portfolio  against price movements of the securities within a market sector in
which the Fund has invested or expects to invest.

The use of Financial  Instruments  is subject to applicable  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC"),  the several  exchanges upon which
they are traded,  and the Commodity  Futures  Trading  Commission  ("CFTC").  In
addition, the Funds' ability to use Financial Instruments will be limited by tax
considerations. See "Tax Consequences of Owning Shares of a Fund."

In addition to the instruments and strategies  described  below,  the advisor or
sub-advisor may use other similar or related  techniques to the extent that they
are  consistent  with  a  Fund's  investment  objective  and  permitted  by  its
investment  limitations  and  applicable  regulatory  authorities.   The  Funds'
Prospectus  or SAI will be  supplemented  to the  extent  that new  products  or
techniques  become  employed  involving  materially  different  risks than those
described below or in the Prospectus.

SPECIAL   RISKS.   Financial   Instruments   and  their  use   involve   special
considerations and risks, certain of which are described below.

(1) Financial  Instruments may increase the volatility of a Fund. If the advisor
or sub-advisor employs a Financial Instrument that correlates imperfectly with a
Fund's investments, a loss could result, regardless of whether or not the intent
was to manage risk.  In  addition,  these  techniques  could result in a loss if
there is not a liquid market to close out a position that a Fund has entered.

(2) There might be imperfect  correlation between price movements of a Financial
Instrument and price movement of the investment(s) being hedged. For example, if
the value of a Financial Instrument used in a short hedge increased by less than
the decline in value of the hedged  investment(s),  the hedge would not be fully
successful.  This might be caused by  certain  kinds of  trading  activity  that
distorts the normal price relationship between the security being hedged and the
Financial  Instrument.  Similarly,  the  effectiveness of hedges using Financial
Instruments  on indexes will depend on the degree of  correlation  between price
movements in the index and price movements in the securities being hedged.

The Funds are  authorized  to use  options  and  futures  contracts  related  to
securities with issuers,  maturities or other characteristics different from the
securities in which it typically invests.  This involves a risk that the options
or  futures  position  will not  track  the  performance  of a Fund's  portfolio
investments.

The direction of options and futures  price  movements can also diverge from the
direction of the movements of the prices of their underlying  instruments,  even
if the  underlying  instruments  match a Fund's  investments  well.  Options and
futures  prices  are  affected  by  such  factors  as  current  and  anticipated
short-term interest rates,  changes in volatility of the underlying  instrument,
and the time remaining  until  expiration of the contract,  which may not affect
security  prices  the same  way.  Imperfect  correlation  may also  result  from
differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities
markets,  from structural  differences in how options and futures and securities
are traded,  or from  imposition  of daily price  fluctuation  limits or trading
halts. A Fund may take positions in options and futures contracts with a greater
or lesser  face  value  than the  securities  it wishes to hedge or  intends  to
purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between
the contract and the  securities,  although  this may not be  successful  in all
cases.

(3) If successful,  the  above-discussed  hedging  strategies can reduce risk of
loss by wholly or partially  offsetting the negative effect of unfavorable price
movements of portfolio  securities.  However,  such  strategies  can also reduce
opportunity  for gain by  offsetting  the  positive  effect of  favorable  price
<PAGE>
movements. For example, if a Fund entered into a short hedge because the advisor
and/or sub-advisor  projected a decline in the price of a security in the Fund's
portfolio,  and the price of that security increased instead, the gain from that
increase would likely be wholly or partially offset by a decline in the value of
the short position in the Financial  Instrument.  Moreover,  if the price of the
Financial  Instrument  declined  by more than the  increase  in the price of the
security, the Fund could suffer a loss.

(4) A Fund's ability to close out a position in a Financial  Instrument prior to
expiration  or maturity  depends on the degree of liquidity of the market or, in
the absence of such a market,  the ability and willingness of the other party to
the transaction (the "counterparty") to enter into a transaction closing out the
position.  Therefore,  there is no assurance that any position can be closed out
at a time and price that is favorable to a Fund.

(5) As described  below,  the Funds are required to maintain  assets as "cover,"
maintain segregated accounts or make margin payments when they take positions in
Financial Instruments  involving  obligations to third parties (i.e.,  Financial
Instruments other than purchased options).  If a Fund is unable to close out its
positions  in such  Financial  Instruments,  it might be required to continue to
maintain  such assets or  segregated  accounts or make such  payments  until the
position  expired.  These  requirements  might impair a Fund's ability to sell a
portfolio  security or make an investment  at a time when it would  otherwise be
favorable  to do so, or require  that the Fund sell a  portfolio  security  at a
disadvantageous time.

COVER. Positions in Financial Instruments,  other than purchased options, expose
the Funds to an obligation to another party. A Fund will not enter into any such
transaction unless it owns (1) an offsetting ("covered") position in securities,
currencies or other options, futures contracts or forward contracts, or (2) cash
and liquid assets with a value,  marked-to-market daily, sufficient to cover its
obligations  to the extent not covered as provided in (1) above.  The Funds will
comply with SEC guidelines  regarding  cover for these  instruments and will, if
the guidelines so require,  designate cash or liquid assets as segregated in the
prescribed amount as determined daily.

Assets used as cover or held as segregated  cannot be sold while the position in
the  corresponding  Financial  Instrument  is open unless they are replaced with
other appropriate  assets.  As a result,  the commitment of a large portion of a
Fund's  assets  to  cover  or to  hold  as  segregated  could  impede  portfolio
management or the Fund's  ability to meet  redemption  requests or other current
obligations.

OPTIONS. Each Fund may engage in certain strategies involving options to attempt
to  manage  the  risk of its  investments  or,  in  certain  circumstances,  for
investment  (e.g., as a substitute for investing in  securities).  A call option
gives the  purchaser  the right to buy,  and  obligates  the  writer to sell the
underlying  investment  at the  agreed-upon  exercise  price  during  the option
period.  A put option gives the purchaser  the right to sell,  and obligates the
writer to buy the underlying investment at the agreed-upon exercise price during
the option period.  Purchasers of options pay an amount,  known as a premium, to
the option  writer in  exchange  for the right  under the option  contract.  See
"Options on Indexes" below with regard to cash settlement of option contracts on
index values.

The  purchase of call  options can serve as a hedge  against a price rise of the
underlier  and the purchase of put options can serve as a hedge  against a price
decline of the  underlier.  Writing  call  options can serve as a limited  short
hedge because declines in the value of the hedged  investment would be offset to
the extent of the premium  received  for writing  the  option.  However,  if the
security or currency  appreciates  to a price higher than the exercise  price of
the call option, it can be expected that the option will be exercised and a Fund
will be  obligated  to sell the  security  or  currency  at less than its market
value.
<PAGE>
Writing put options can serve as a limited long or  anticipatory  hedge  because
increases in the value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent of
the  premium  received  for  writing the  option.  However,  if the  security or
currency depreciates to a price lower than the exercise price of the put option,
it can be  expected  that the put option  will be  exercised  and a Fund will be
obligated to purchase the security or currency at more than its market value.

The value of an option  position will reflect,  among other things,  the current
market value of the underlying investment,  the time remaining until expiration,
the  relationship  of the exercise  price to the market price of the  underlying
investment, the price volatility of the underlying investment and general market
and interest rate conditions. Options that expire unexercised have no value.

A Fund may  effectively  terminate  its right or  obligation  under an option by
entering  into a closing  transaction.  For example,  the Fund may terminate its
obligation  under a call or put  option  that it had  written by  purchasing  an
identical call or put option, which is known as a closing purchase  transaction.
Conversely,  the Fund may  terminate  a position  in a put or call option it had
purchased  by  writing  an  identical  put or call  option,  which is known as a
closing sale transaction.  Closing transactions permit a Fund to realize profits
or limit losses on an option position prior to its exercise or expiration.

RISKS OF OPTIONS ON SECURITIES.  Options embody the possibility of large amounts
of exposure,  which will result in a Fund's net asset value being more sensitive
to changes in the value of the related investment.  A Fund may purchase or write
both  exchange-traded  and OTC  options.  Exchange-traded  options in the United
States are issued by a clearing  organization  affiliated  with the  exchange on
which the option is listed  that,  in  effect,  guarantees  completion  of every
exchange-traded  option  transaction.  In  contrast,  OTC options are  contracts
between a Fund and its counterparty (usually a securities dealer or a bank) with
no clearing organization  guarantee.  Thus, when a Fund purchases an OTC option,
it relies on the counterparty  from whom it purchased the option to make or take
delivery of the underlying  investment  upon exercise of the option.  Failure by
the counterparty to do so would result in the loss of any premium paid by a Fund
as well as the loss of any expected benefit from the transaction.

The Funds'  ability to establish and close out  positions in options  depends on
the existence of a liquid market. However, there can be no assurance that such a
market will exist at any particular time.  Closing  transactions can be made for
OTC  options  only  by  negotiating  directly  with  the  counterparty,  or by a
transaction in the secondary  market if any such market exists.  There can be no
assurance  that a Fund will in fact be able to close out an OTC option  position
at a favorable  price prior to  expiration.  In the event of  insolvency  of the
counterparty,  a Fund might be unable to close out an OTC option position at any
time prior to the  option's  expiration.  If a Fund is not able to enter into an
offsetting closing  transaction on an option it has written, it will be required
to maintain the securities  subject to the call or the liquid assets  underlying
the put until a closing  purchase  transaction can be entered into or the option
expires. However, there can be no assurance that such a market will exist at any
particular time.

If a Fund  were  unable to  effect a  closing  transaction  for an option it had
purchased,  it would have to  exercise  the option to realize  any  profit.  The
inability to enter into a closing purchase transaction for a covered call option
written by a Fund could cause  material  losses because the Fund would be unable
to sell the  investment  used as cover for the written  option  until the option
expires or is exercised.

OPTIONS ON  INDEXES.  Puts and calls on indexes are similar to puts and calls on
securities  or futures  contracts  except that all  settlements  are in cash and
changes in value depend on changes in the index in question.  When a Fund writes
a call on an  index,  it  receives  a  premium  and  agrees  that,  prior to the
expiration  date, upon exercise of the call, the purchaser will receive from the
Fund an amount of cash equal to the  positive  difference  between  the  closing
price of the index and the exercise price of the call times a specified multiple
("multiplier"),  which  determines the total dollar value for each point of such
<PAGE>
difference.  When a Fund buys a call on an index,  it pays a premium and has the
same rights as to such call as are indicated above. When a Fund buys a put on an
index,  it pays a premium and has the right,  prior to the  expiration  date, to
require  the seller of the put to deliver to the Fund an amount of cash equal to
the positive  difference  between the exercise  price of the put and the closing
price of the index times the  multiplier.  When a Fund writes a put on an index,
it receives a premium and the  purchaser of the put has the right,  prior to the
expiration date, to require the Fund to deliver to it an amount of cash equal to
the positive  difference  between the exercise  price of the put and the closing
level of the index times the multiplier.

The risks of  purchasing  and  selling  options on indexes  may be greater  than
options on  securities.  Because index options are settled in cash,  when a Fund
writes a call on an index it cannot fulfill its potential settlement obligations
by delivering the underlying  securities.  A Fund can offset some of the risk of
writing a call index option by holding a  diversified  portfolio  of  securities
similar to those on which the underlying index is based. However, a Fund cannot,
as a practical matter,  acquire and hold a portfolio containing exactly the same
securities  as underlie the index and, as a result,  bears a risk that the value
of the securities held will vary from the value of the index.

Even  if  a  Fund  could  assemble  a  portfolio  that  exactly  reproduced  the
composition of the underlying  index, it still would not be fully covered from a
risk standpoint  because of the "timing risk" inherent in writing index options.
When an index  option  is  exercised,  the  amount  of cash  that the  holder is
entitled to receive is determined by the  difference  between the exercise price
and the closing index level. As with other kinds of options,  a Fund as the call
writer will not learn what it has been assigned until the next business day. The
time lag between  exercise and notice of assignment poses no risk for the writer
of a covered  call on a  specific  underlying  security,  such as common  stock,
because  in that case the  writer's  obligation  is to  deliver  the  underlying
security,  not to pay its  value as of a moment in the past.  In  contrast,  the
writer of an index call will be required  to pay cash in an amount  based on the
difference between the closing index value on the exercise date and the exercise
price.  By the time a Fund learns what it has been assigned,  the index may have
declined.  This "timing risk" is an inherent  limitation on the ability of index
call writers to cover their risk exposure.

If a Fund has  purchased  an index  option and  exercises  it before the closing
index  value for that day is  available,  it runs the risk that the level of the
underlying index may subsequently  change. If such a change causes the exercised
option to fall  out-of-the-money,  the Fund nevertheless will be required to pay
the  difference  between the closing  index value and the exercise  price of the
option (times the applicable multiplier) to the assigned writer.

OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect
to the underlying instrument,  expiration date, contract size, and strike price,
the terms of OTC  options  (options  not  traded  on  exchanges)  generally  are
established  through  negotiation  with the other party to the option  contract.
While this type of  arrangement  allows a Fund great  flexibility  to tailor the
option  to  its  needs,  OTC  options   generally   involve  greater  risk  than
exchange-traded  options,  which are guaranteed by the clearing  organization of
the exchange where they are traded.

Generally,  OTC  foreign  currency  options  used by a Fund  are  European-style
options. This means that the option is only exercisable immediately prior to its
expiration. This is in contrast to American-style options, which are exercisable
at any time prior to the expiration date of the option.

FUTURES  CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES  CONTRACTS.  When a Fund  purchases or
sells a futures contract,  it incurs an obligation  respectively to take or make
delivery of a specified  amount of the  obligation  underlying the contract at a
specified time and price. When a Fund writes an option on a futures contract, it
becomes  obligated  to assume a position in the futures  contract at a specified
exercise  price at any time  during the term of the  option.  If a Fund writes a
call,  on exercise it assumes a short futures  position.  If it writes a put, on
exercise it assumes a long futures position.
<PAGE>
The  purchase  of futures or call  options on futures  can serve as a long or an
anticipatory  hedge,  and the sale of futures or the  purchase of put options on
futures can serve as a short hedge.  Writing  call options on futures  contracts
can serve as a limited  short hedge,  using a strategy  similar to that used for
writing call options on securities or indexes. Similarly, writing put options on
futures contracts can serve as a limited long or anticipatory hedge.

In addition,  futures strategies can be used to manage the "duration" (a measure
of  anticipated  sensitivity  to changes in interest  rates,  which is sometimes
related to the weighted average maturity of a portfolio) and associated interest
rate risk of a Fund's fixed-income  portfolio. If the advisor and/or sub-advisor
wishes to shorten the duration of a Fund's fixed-income  portfolio (i.e., reduce
anticipated sensitivity), the Fund may sell an appropriate debt futures contract
or a call option thereon, or purchase a put option on that futures contract.  If
the advisor wishes to lengthen the duration of a Fund's  fixed-income  portfolio
(i.e., increase anticipated  sensitivity),  the Fund may buy an appropriate debt
futures contract or a call option thereon, or sell a put option thereon.

At the inception of a futures  contract,  a Fund is required to deposit "initial
margin"  in an  amount  generally  equal to 10% or less of the  contract  value.
Initial  margin must also be  deposited  when  writing a call or put option on a
futures  contract,  in accordance  with applicable  exchange  rules.  Subsequent
"variation margin" payments are made to and from the futures broker daily as the
value of the  futures or written  option  position  varies,  a process  known as
"marking-to-market." Unlike margin in securities transactions, initial margin on
futures  contracts and written options on futures contracts does not represent a
borrowing  on  margin,  but  rather is in the  nature of a  performance  bond or
good-faith  deposit  that is  returned  to the  Fund at the  termination  of the
transaction if all contractual  obligations  have been satisfied.  Under certain
circumstances,  such as periods of high  volatility,  a Fund may be  required to
increase the level of initial margin deposits. If the Fund has insufficient cash
to meet daily variation margin requirements, it might need to sell securities in
order to do so at a time when such sales are disadvantageous.

Purchasers  and  sellers of futures  contracts  and options on futures can enter
into  offsetting  closing  transactions,  similar  to  closing  transactions  on
options, by selling or purchasing,  respectively, an instrument identical to the
instrument  purchased or sold. However,  there can be no assurance that a liquid
market will exist for a particular contract at a particular time. In such event,
it may not be possible to close a futures contract or options position.

Under certain circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the
amount that the price of a futures  contract or an option on a futures  contract
can vary from the previous day's settlement  price;  once that limit is reached,
no trades may be made that day at a price  beyond the limit.  Daily price limits
do not limit  potential  losses because prices could move to the daily limit for
several  consecutive  days  with  little  or  no  trading,   thereby  preventing
liquidation of unfavorable positions.

If a Fund were unable to liquidate a futures  contract or an option on a futures
contract  position due to the absence of a liquid  market or the  imposition  of
price limits, it could incur substantial  losses.  The Fund would continue to be
subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition,  except in the
case of purchased options,  the Fund would continue to be required to make daily
variation  margin  payments  and might be required  to continue to maintain  the
position  being  hedged by the  futures  contract  or option or to  continue  to
maintain cash or securities in a segregated account.

To the extent  that a Fund  enters into  futures  contracts,  options on futures
contracts and options on foreign currencies traded on a CFTC-regulated exchange,
in each case that is not for BONA  FIDE  hedging  purposes  (as  defined  by the
CFTC),  the aggregate  initial margin and premiums  required to establish  these
positions  (excluding the amount by which options are "in-the-money" at the time
of purchase) may not exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the Fund's portfolio,
after  taking  into  account  unrealized  profits and  unrealized  losses on any
contracts  the Fund has  entered  into.  This  policy  does not  limit to 5% the
percentage of the Fund's assets that are at risk in futures  contracts,  options
on futures contracts, and currency options.
<PAGE>
RISKS OF FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS THEREON.  The ordinary spreads at a given
time between  prices in the cash and futures  markets  (including the options on
futures  markets),  due to  differences  in the  natures of those  markets,  are
subject to the following factors.  First, all participants in the futures market
are subject to margin deposit and maintenance requirements.  Rather than meeting
additional  margin deposit  requirements,  investors may close futures contracts
through  offsetting  transactions,  which could distort the normal  relationship
between the cash and  futures  markets.  Second,  the  liquidity  of the futures
market depends on participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than
making or taking  delivery.  To the extent  participants  decide to make or take
delivery,  liquidity  in the futures  market  could be reduced,  thus  producing
distortion. Due to the possibility of distortion, a hedge may not be successful.
Although stock index futures contracts do not require physical  delivery,  under
extraordinary market conditions,  liquidity of such futures contracts also could
be reduced. Additionally, the advisor and/or sub-advisor may be incorrect in its
expectations as to the extent of various interest rates, currency exchange rates
or stock  market  movements  or the time span within  which the  movements  take
place.

INDEX FUTURES. The risk of imperfect  correlation between movements in the price
of index  futures  and  movements  in the price of the  securities  that are the
subject of a hedge increases as the composition of a Fund's  portfolio  diverges
from the index.  The price of the index  futures may move  proportionately  more
than or less than the price of the securities being hedged.  If the price of the
index futures moves  proportionately  less than the price of the securities that
are the subject of the hedge,  the hedge will not be fully  effective.  Assuming
the price of the securities being hedged has moved in an unfavorable  direction,
as anticipated  when the hedge was put into place, the Fund would be in a better
position  than if it had not  hedged at all,  but not as good as if the price of
the index  futures moved in full  proportion  to that of the hedged  securities.
However,  if the price of the  securities  being hedged has moved in a favorable
direction,  this advantage will be partially  offset by movement of the price of
the futures  contract.  If the price of the futures contract moves more than the
price of the securities, the Fund will experience either a loss or a gain on the
futures contract that will not be completely offset by movements in the price of
the securities that are the subject of the hedge.

Where index futures are purchased in an anticipatory  hedge, it is possible that
the market may  decline  instead.  If a Fund then  decides  not to invest in the
securities at that time because of concern as to possible further market decline
or for other reasons, it will realize a loss on the futures contract that is not
offset  by a  reduction  in the  price  of  the  securities  it had  anticipated
purchasing.

FOREIGN  CURRENCY  HEDGING  STRATEGIES--SPECIAL  CONSIDERATIONS.  A Fund may use
options and futures contracts on foreign  currencies,  as mentioned  previously,
and forward currency contracts,  as described below, to attempt to hedge against
movements in the values of the foreign currencies in which the Fund's securities
are  denominated  or, in  certain  circumstances,  for  investment  (e.g.,  as a
substitute  for  investing  in  securities  denominated  in  foreign  currency).
Currency  hedges can protect  against price  movements in a security that a Fund
owns or intends to acquire that are  attributable to changes in the value of the
currency in which it is denominated.

A Fund might seek to hedge against changes in the value of a particular currency
when no Financial  Instruments  on that currency are available or such Financial
Instruments are more expensive than certain other Financial Instruments. In such
cases,  a Fund may seek to hedge  against  price  movements in that  currency by
entering into transactions using Financial  Instruments on another currency or a
basket of currencies, the value of which the advisor and/or sub-advisor believes
will have a high degree of  positive  correlation  to the value of the  currency
being hedged.  The risk that movements in the price of the Financial  Instrument
will not correlate perfectly with movements in the price of the currency subject
to the hedging transaction may be increased when this strategy is used.
<PAGE>
The value of Financial Instruments on foreign currencies depends on the value of
the underlying  currency  relative to the U.S. dollar.  Because foreign currency
transactions  occurring  in the  interbank  market might  involve  substantially
larger amounts than those involved in the use of such Financial  Instruments,  a
Fund could be disadvantaged  by having to deal in the odd-lot market  (generally
consisting of transactions  of less than $1 million) for the underlying  foreign
currencies at prices that are less favorable than for round lots.

There is no systematic reporting of last sale information for foreign currencies
or any regulatory requirement that quotations available through dealers or other
market  sources  be firm or  revised on a timely  basis.  Quotation  information
generally is representative  of very large  transactions in the interbank market
and thus  might not  reflect  odd-lot  transactions  where  rates  might be less
favorable.   The   interbank   market  in  foreign   currencies   is  a  global,
round-the-clock  market.  To the extent the U.S.  options or futures markets are
closed while the markets for the underlying currencies remain open,  significant
price and rate movements might take place in the underlying  markets that cannot
be reflected in the markets for the Financial Instruments until they reopen.

Settlement  of  hedging  transactions  involving  foreign  currencies  might  be
required to take place within the country issuing the underlying currency. Thus,
a Fund might be required to accept or make  delivery of the  underlying  foreign
currency  in  accordance  with any U.S.  or foreign  regulations  regarding  the
maintenance  of foreign  banking  arrangements  by U.S.  residents  and might be
required to pay any fees,  taxes,  and  charges  associated  with such  delivery
assessed in the issuing country.

FORWARD CURRENCY  CONTRACTS AND FOREIGN CURRENCY  DEPOSITS.  The Funds may enter
into forward  currency  contracts to purchase or sell foreign  currencies  for a
fixed amount of U.S.  dollars or another foreign  currency.  A forward  currency
contract  involves an  obligation  to purchase or sell a specific  currency at a
future  date,  which may be any fixed number of days (term) from the date of the
forward currency contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time
the forward  currency  contract  is  entered.  Forward  currency  contracts  are
negotiated  directly between  currency traders (usually large commercial  banks)
and their customers.

Such transactions may serve as long or anticipatory  hedges. For example, a Fund
may purchase a forward  currency  contract to lock in the U.S. dollar price of a
security  denominated  in a foreign  currency  that the Fund intends to acquire.
Forward currency  contracts may also serve as short hedges.  For example, a Fund
may sell a forward  currency  contract to lock in the U.S. dollar  equivalent of
the proceeds from the  anticipated  sale of a security or a dividend or interest
payment denominated in a foreign currency.

The Funds may also use forward currency  contracts to hedge against a decline in
the value of existing investments  denominated in foreign currency. Such a hedge
would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would
not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A Fund could also
hedge the position by entering into a forward currency  contract to sell another
currency  expected  to perform  similarly  to the  currency  in which the Fund's
existing investments are denominated.  This type of hedge could offer advantages
in terms of cost,  yield or efficiency,  but may not hedge currency  exposure as
effectively  as a simple  hedge  against  U.S.  dollars.  This type of hedge may
result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the
currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

The Funds may also use forward currency contracts in one currency or a basket of
currencies to attempt to hedge against  fluctuations  in the value of securities
denominated in a different  currency if the advisor  anticipates that there will
be a positive correlation between the two currencies.

The cost to a Fund of engaging in forward currency contracts varies with factors
such as the currency involved,  the length of the contract period and the market
conditions  then  prevailing.  Because  forward  currency  contracts are usually
entered into on a principal  basis, no fees or commissions are involved.  When a
Fund enters into a forward currency  contract,  it relies on the counterparty to
make  or  take  delivery  of the  underlying  currency  at the  maturity  of the
contract.  Failure by the counterparty to do so would result in the loss of some
or all of any expected benefit of the transaction.
<PAGE>
As is the case  with  futures  contracts,  purchasers  and  sellers  of  forward
currency  contracts can enter into offsetting closing  transactions,  similar to
closing   transactions   on  futures   contracts,   by  selling  or  purchasing,
respectively,  an  instrument  identical  to the  instrument  purchased or sold.
Secondary  markets generally do not exist for forward currency  contracts,  with
the result that closing transactions  generally can be made for forward currency
contracts only by negotiating directly with the counterparty. Thus, there can be
no  assurance  that a Fund will in fact be able to close out a forward  currency
contract at a favorable  price prior to maturity.  In addition,  in the event of
insolvency of the counterparty,  the Fund might be unable to close out a forward
currency  contract.  In either event,  the Fund would  continue to be subject to
market risk with respect to the position,  and would  continue to be required to
maintain a position in  securities  denominated  in the  foreign  currency or to
segregate cash or liquid assets.

The precise matching of forward  currency  contract amounts and the value of the
securities,  dividends,  or interest  payments  involved  generally  will not be
possible because the value of such securities,  dividends or interest  payments,
measured  in the  foreign  currency,  will  change  after the  forward  currency
contract  has been  established.  Thus,  a Fund might need to  purchase  or sell
foreign  currencies  in the  spot  (cash)  market  to the  extent  such  foreign
currencies  are not covered by forward  currency  contracts.  The  projection of
short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult,  and the successful
execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain.

Forward currency contracts may substantially change a Fund's investment exposure
to changes in currency  exchange rates and could result in losses to the Fund if
currencies do not perform as the advisor anticipates. There is no assurance that
the advisor's use of forward  currency  contracts will be advantageous to a Fund
or that it will hedge at an appropriate time.

The Funds may also  purchase  and sell  foreign  currency  and invest in foreign
currency deposits.  Currency conversion involves dealer spreads and other costs,
although  commissions usually are not charged.

COMBINED  POSITIONS.  A Fund may  purchase  and  write  options  or  futures  in
combination  with each other, or in combination with futures or forward currency
contracts,  to  manage  the  risk  and  return  characteristics  of its  overall
position.  For example, a Fund may purchase a put option and write a call option
on the same  underlying  instrument,  in order to construct a combined  position
whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract.
Another  possible  combined  position would involve writing a call option at one
strike price and buying a call option at a lower  price,  in order to reduce the
risk of the written call option in the event of a  substantial  price  increase.
Because combined  options  positions  involve  multiple  trades,  they result in
higher transaction costs.

TURNOVER.  The Funds'  options and futures  activities may affect their turnover
rates and brokerage commission  payments.  The exercise of calls or puts written
by a Fund, and the sale or purchase of futures  contracts,  may cause it to sell
or purchase related investments,  thus increasing its turnover rate. Once a Fund
has received an exercise notice on an option it has written,  it cannot effect a
closing  transaction in order to terminate its  obligation  under the option and
must deliver or receive the  underlying  securities at the exercise  price.  The
exercise  of puts  purchased  by a Fund  may  also  cause  the  sale of  related
investments,  increasing  turnover.  Although such exercise is within the Fund's
control, holding a protective put might cause it to sell the related investments
for  reasons  that would not exist in the  absence of the put. A Fund will pay a
brokerage  commission  each time it buys or sells a put or call or  purchases or
sells a futures  contract.  Such commissions may be higher than those that would
apply to direct purchases or sales.

SWAPS, CAPS, FLOORS, AND COLLARS.  The Funds are authorized to enter into swaps,
caps, floors, and collars.  Swaps involve the exchange by one party with another
party of their  respective  commitments  to pay or receive cash flows,  e.g., an
exchange of floating  rate payments for fixed rate  payments.  The purchase of a
cap or a floor  entitles  the  purchaser,  to the extent that a specified  index
exceeds  in the  case  of a cap,  or  falls  below  in the  case of a  floor,  a
predetermined value, to receive payments on a notional principal amount from the
party selling such  instrument.  A collar combines  elements of buying a cap and
selling a floor.
<PAGE>
HOLDRS -- Holding  Company  Depository  Receipts,  or HOLDRs,  are  trust-issued
receipts that  represent a Fund's  beneficial  ownership of a specific  group of
stocks.  HOLDRs involve risks similar to the risks of investing in common stock.
For example,  a Fund's investment will decline in value if the underlying stocks
decline in value.  Because HOLDRs are not subject to concentration  limits,  the
relative weight of an individual stock may increase  substantially,  causing the
HOLDRs to be less diverse and creating more risk.

ILLIQUID  SECURITIES -- Securities  which do not trade on stock  exchanges or in
the  over-the-counter  market,  or have restrictions on when and how they may be
sold, are generally  considered to be  "illiquid."  An illiquid  security is one
that a Fund may have  difficulty  -- or may even be  legally  precluded  from --
selling  at any  particular  time.  A Fund may  invest in  illiquid  securities,
including  restricted  securities  and other  investments  which are not readily
marketable.  A Fund will not  purchase any such  security if the purchase  would
cause the Fund to invest more than 15% of its net  assets,  measured at the time
of purchase, in illiquid securities. Repurchase agreements maturing in more than
seven days are considered illiquid for purposes of this restriction.

The  principal  risk of investing in illiquid  securities  is that a Fund may be
unable to  dispose  of them at the time  desired or at a  reasonable  price.  In
addition,  in order to resell a restricted  security,  a Fund might have to bear
the expense and incur the delays  associated with  registering the security with
the SEC, and  otherwise  obtaining  listing on a  securities  exchange or in the
over-the-counter market.

INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM -- Pursuant to an exemptive order issued
by the SEC, a Fund may lend money to, and borrow money for  temporary  purposes,
from other  funds  advised by INVESCO  or its  affiliates.  A Fund will  bowrrow
through the  program  only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of
bank loans.  Interfund  borrowings  normally  extend  overnight,  but can have a
maximum  duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A Fund
may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is
called or not renewed.

INVESTMENT COMPANY SECURITIES -- To manage their daily cash positions, the Funds
may  invest  in  securities  issued  by other  investment  companies,  including
investment  companies  advised by INVESCO  and its  affiliates  (pursuant  to an
exemptive  order dated May 12, 1999),  that invest in short-term debt securities
and seek to  maintain  a net  asset  value of $1.00  per  share  ("money  market
funds").  The Funds also may invest in Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs").  ETFs are
investment  companies  that are registered  under the Investment  Company Act of
1940 (the "1940 Act") as open-end funds or Unit Investment Trusts ("UITs"). ETFs
are based on  specific  domestic  and foreign  indices.  ETF shares are sold and
redeemed  at net  asset  value  only in  large  blocks.  In  addition,  national
securities  exchanges  list ETF shares for trading,  which  allows  investors to
purchases  and sell  individual  ETF shares among  themselves  at market  prices
throughout  the day. The 1940 Act,  limits  investments  in  securities of other
investment companies.  These limitations include, among others, that, subject to
certain exceptions, no more than 10% of a Fund's total assets may be invested in
securities of other  investment  companies,  no more than 5% of its total assets
may be invested in the securities of any one  investment  company and a Fund may
own no more than 3% of the outstanding  shares may be invested in the securities
of any investment  company.  As a shareholder of another  investment  company, a
Fund would bear its pro rata portion of the other investment company's expenses,
including  advisory fees, in addition to the expenses the Fund bears directly in
connection with its own operations.

MUNICIPAL  OBLIGATIONS  (TAX-FREE BOND FUND ONLY)--  Municipal  debt  securities
including  municipal bonds,  notes and commercial  paper. The Tax-Free Bond Fund
will,  under  normal  market  conditions,  have at least  80% of its net  assets
invested in municipal  obligations  that, based on the opinion of counsel to the
issuer,  pay  interest  free from federal  income tax. It is the Fund's  present
intention to invest its assets so that  substantially  all of its annual  income
will be tax-exempt.  The Fund may invest in municipal obligations whose interest
income may be specially  treated as a tax preference  item under the alternative
minimum tax ("AMT").  Securities  that generate  income that is a tax preference
item may not be counted towards the 80% tax exempt  threshold  described  above.
Tax-exempt   income  may  result  in  an  indirect  tax   preference   item  for
corporations, which may subject an investor to liability under the AMT depending
on its particular  situation.  Tax-Free Bond Fund, however, will not invest more
than 20% of its net assets in obligations  the interest from which gives rise to
a preference item for the purpose of the AMT and in other investments subject to
federal  income  tax.  Distributions  from this Fund may be subject to state and
local  taxes.  The other Funds may invest in  municipal  obligations,  but under
normal  circumstances  do not  intend to make  significant  investment  in these
securities.

<PAGE>
The Funds may invest in the following types of municipal obligations:

     MUNICIPAL BONDS -- Municipal bonds are classified as general  obligation or
     revenue bonds. General obligations bonds are secured by the issuer's pledge
     of its full faith,  credit and  unlimited  taxing  power for the payment of
     principal  and  interest.  Revenue bonds are payable only from the revenues
     generated by a particular  facility or class of facility,  or in some cases
     from the  proceeds  of a special  excise tax or  specific  revenue  source.
     Industrial development  obligations are a particular kind of municipal bond
     which are issued by or on behalf of public  authorities to obtain funds for
     many kinds of local,  privately operated facilities.  Such obligations are,
     in most cases,  revenue bonds that  generally are secured by a lease with a
     particular private corporation.

     MUNICIPAL NOTES -- Municipal notes are short-term debt  obligations  issued
     by municipalities which normally have a maturity at the time of issuance of
     six months to three years. Such notes include tax anticipation  notes, bond
     anticipation  notes,  revenue  anticipation  notes and project notes. Notes
     sold in  anticipation  of  collection  of taxes,  a bond sale or receipt of
     other  revenues are normally  obligations  of the issuing  municipality  or
     agency.

     MUNICIPAL COMMERCIAL PAPER -- Municipal commercial paper is short-term debt
     obligations  issued  by  municipalities.  Although  done  so  infrequently,
     municipal  commercial paper may be issued at a discount (sometimes referred
     to as Short-Term  Discount  Notes).  These  obligations  are issued to meet
     seasonal  working capital needs of a municipality  or interim  construction
     financing and are paid from a municipality's general revenues or refinanced
     with long-term  debt.  Although the  availability  of municipal  commercial
     paper  has  been  limited,  from  time to time  the  amounts  of such  debt
     obligations offered have increased, and INVESCO believes that this increase
     may continue.

     VARIABLE RATE  OBLIGATIONS  -- The interest rate payable on a variable rate
     municipal obligation is adjusted either at predetermined periodic intervals
     or whenever there is a change in the market rate of interest upon which the
     interest rate payable is based.  A variable rate  obligation  may include a
     demand  feature  pursuant  to which the Fund would have the right to demand
     prepayment of the principal  amount of the  obligation  prior to its stated
     maturity.  The issuer of the variable rate  obligation may retain the right
     to prepay the principal amount prior to maturity.

     MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS -- Also included in "municipal  securities" are
     municipal  lease  obligations,  which  may take  the  form of a  lease,  an
     installment  purchase or a  conditional  sales  contract.  Municipal  lease
     obligations  are issued by state and local  governments  and authorities to
     acquire  land,  equipment  and  facilities  such  as  state  and  municipal
     vehicles,  telecommunications  and computer  equipment,  and other  capital
     assets.  Interest  payments on qualifying  municipal leases are exempt from
     federal income taxes. The Funds may purchase these obligations directly, or
     they may purchase  participation  interests in such obligations.  Municipal
     leases are generally  subject to greater  risks than general  obligation or
     revenue  bonds.   State  laws  set  forth   requirements   that  states  or
     municipalities must meet in order to issue municipal obligations,  and such
     obligations   may   contain  a  covenant  by  the  issuer  to  budget  for,
     appropriate,  and make payments due under the obligation.  However, certain
     municipal lease obligations may contain  "non-appropriation"  clauses which
     provide that the issuer is not obligated to make payments on the obligation
     in future years unless funds have been  appropriated  for this purpose each
     year.  Accordingly,  such  obligations  are subject to  "non-appropriation"
     risk. While municipal  leases are secured by the underlying  capital asset,
     it  may  be   difficult   to  dispose  of  such  assets  in  the  event  of
     non-appropriation  or other default. All direct investments by the Funds in
     municipal  lease  obligations  shall be deemed illiquid and shall be valued
     according to each Fund's Procedures for Valuing  Securities  current at the
     time of such valuation.
<PAGE>
REAL ESTATE  INVESTMENT  TRUSTS - To the extent  consistent  with its investment
objectives  and  policies,  the Funds may  invest in  securities  issued by real
estate investment trusts ("REITs").

REITs are trusts which sell equity or debt  securities  to investors and use the
proceeds  to invest in real  estate or  interests  therein.  A REIT may focus on
particular projects, such as apartment complexes, or geographic regions, such as
the Southeastern United States, or both.

To the extent that the Funds have the  ability to invest in REITs,  a Fund could
conceivably  own real estate directly as a result of a default on the securities
it owns. The Funds,  therefore,  may be subject to certain risks associated with
the direct  ownership  of real  estate  including  difficulties  in valuing  and
trading real  estate,  declines in the value of real  estate,  risks  related to
general and local economic  conditions,  adverse changes in the climate for real
estate, environmental liability risks, increases in property taxes and operating
expenses,  changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses,  limitations
on rents,  changes in neighborhood  values, the appeal of properties to tenants,
and increases in interest rates.

In addition to the risks described  above,  REITs may be affected by any changes
in the value of the underlying property in their portfolios. REITs are dependent
upon management  skill,  are not diversified,  and are therefore  subject to the
risk of financing single or a limited number of projects. REITs are also subject
to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers,  self-liquidation, and the
possibility  of failing to maintain an exemption  from the 1940 Act.  Changes in
interest rates may also affect the value of debt  securities  held by a Fund. By
investing in REITs  indirectly  through a Fund, a shareholder will bear not only
his/her  proportionate  share of the expenses of a Fund,  but also,  indirectly,
similar expenses of the REITs.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS -- A Fund may enter into repurchase  agreements ("REPOs")
on debt securities that the Fund is allowed to hold in its portfolio.  This is a
way to invest money for short  periods.  A REPO is an agreement  under which the
Fund  acquires  a  debt  security  and  then  resells  it to  the  seller  at an
agreed-upon  price and date  (normally,  the next business  day). The repurchase
price  represents  an  interest  rate  effective  for the short  period the debt
security  is held by the Fund,  and is  unrelated  to the  interest  rate on the
underlying debt security.  A repurchase  agreement is often considered as a loan
collateralized  by securities.  The collateral  securities  acquired by the Fund
(including accrued interest earned thereon) must have a total value in excess of
the value of the repurchase agreement. The collateral securities are held by the
Fund's custodian bank until the repurchase agreement is completed.

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial  institutions that
are creditworthy under standards  established by the Company's advisor.  INVESCO
must use  these  standards  to  review  the  creditworthiness  of any  financial
institution  that is a party to a REPO.  REPOs  maturing in more than seven days
are  considered  illiquid  securities.  A Fund  will not enter  into  repurchase
agreements  maturing in more than seven days if as a result more than 15% of the
Fund's net assets  would be invested in these  repurchase  agreements  and other
illiquid securities.

As noted  above,  the  Funds use  REPOs as a means of  investing  cash for short
periods  of  time.  Although  REPOs  are  considered  to be  highly  liquid  and
comparatively  low-risk,  the use of REPOs does involve some risks. For example,
if the other party to the agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the
underlying  security at a time when the value of the security has declined,  the
Fund may incur a loss on the sale of the collateral security. If the other party
to the agreement  becomes insolvent and subject to liquidation or reorganization
under  the  Bankruptcy  Code or  other  laws,  a court  may  determine  that the
underlying  security is collateral for a loan by the Fund not within the control
of the Fund and therefore the  realization  by the Fund on such  collateral  may
automatically be stayed.  Finally,  it is possible that the Fund may not be able
to  substantiate  its interest in the  underlying  security and may be deemed an
unsecured creditor of the other party to the agreement.
<PAGE>
RULE 144A  SECURITIES -- A Fund also may invest in securities that can be resold
to  institutional  investors  pursuant to Rule 144A under the  Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In recent years, a large institutional market
has developed for many Rule 144A Securities.  Institutional  investors generally
cannot sell these securities to the general public but instead will often depend
on an efficient  institutional  market in which Rule 144A Securities can readily
be resold to other institutional investors, or on an issuer's ability to honor a
demand for repayment.  Therefore,  the fact that there are  contractual or legal
restrictions  on resale to the general public or certain  institutions  does not
necessarily  mean that a Rule 144A Security is illiquid.  Institutional  markets
for Rule 144A  Securities may provide both reliable  market values for Rule 144A
Securities and enable a Fund to sell a Rule 144A  investment  when  appropriate.
For this reason,  the  Company's  board of  directors  has  concluded  that if a
sufficient  institutional  trading market exists for a given Rule 144A security,
it may be  considered  "liquid,"  and not  subject  to a Fund's  limitations  on
investment in restricted securities.  The Company's board of directors has given
INVESCO  the  day-to-day  authority  to  determine  the  liquidity  of Rule 144A
Securities, according to guidelines approved by the board. The principal risk of
investing in Rule 144A Securities is that there may be an insufficient number of
qualified  institutional  buyers  interested  in purchasing a Rule 144A Security
held by a Fund,  and the Fund  might  be  unable  to  dispose  of such  security
promptly or at reasonable prices.

SECURITIES  LENDING -- Each Fund may from time to time loan  securities from its
portfolio to brokers,  dealers,  and  financial  institutions  to earn income or
generate  cash for  liquidity.  When the Fund lends  securities  it will receive
collateral in cash or U.S. Treasury  obligations  which will be maintained,  and
with regard to cash, invested,  at all times in an amount equal to at least 100%
of the current  market  value of the loaned  securities.  All such loans will be
made  according  to the  guidelines  of the  SEC  and  the  Company's  board  of
directors.  A Fund may at any time call  such  loans to  obtain  the  securities
loaned.  If the borrower of the  securities  should default on its obligation to
return the securities borrowed,  the value of the collateral may be insufficient
to permit the Fund to reestablish its position by making a comparable investment
due to  changes  in market  conditions,  or the Fund may be  unable to  exercise
certain  ownership  rights.  A Fund will be entitled to earn  interest paid upon
investment of the cash  collateral or to the payment of a premium or fee for the
loan. A Fund may pay reasonable  fees in connection  with such loans,  including
payments to the borrower and to one or more  securities  lending agents (each an
"Agent").

INVESCO  provides  the  following  services in  connection  with the  securities
lending  activities of each Fund: (a) oversees  participation  in the securities
lending  program  to  ensure  compliance  with  all  applicable  regulatory  and
investment  guidelines;  (b) assists  the Agent in  determining  which  specific
securities are available for loan;  (c) monitors the Agent's loan  activities to
ensure  that  securities   loans  are  effected  in  accordance  with  INVESCO's
instructions and with procedures adopted by the board of directors; (d) prepares
appropriate  periodic  reports for, and seeks  appropriate  approvals  from, the
board of directors with respect to securities lending  activities;  (e) responds
to Agent  inquiries;  and (f) performs such other duties as  necessary.  INVESCO
intends  to seek  necessary  approvals  to  enable it to earn  compensation  for
providing such services.

The Funds have obtained an exemptive  order from the SEC allowing them to invest
uninvested  cash  balances  and cash  collateral  received  in  connection  with
securities  lending in money  market  funds that have INVESCO or an affiliate of
INVESCO as an investment advisor.

SENIOR  LOANS.  Senior  loans are business  loans made to borrowers  that may be
corporations,  partnerships,  or other entities  ("Borrowers").  These Borrowers
operate in a variety of industries and geographic regions. The interest rates on
Senior Loans adjust periodically, and a Fund's portfolio of Senior Loans will at
all times  have a  dollar-weighted  average  time until the next  interest  rate
adjustment of 90 days or less.  The Funds  believe that  investing in adjustable
rate Senior Loans should limit fluctuations in net asset value caused by changes
in interest rates.
<PAGE>
Senior Loans are generally  negotiated  between a Borrower and several financial
institution  lenders  ("Lenders")  represented  by one or more Lenders acting as
agent of all the Lenders ("Agent"). The Agent is responsible for negotiating the
Loan Agreement that  establishes the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan and
the rights of the Borrower  and the Lenders.  A Fund may act as one of the group
of original  Lenders  originating  a Senior Loan,  may purchase  assignments  of
portions of Senior Loans from third parties, and may invest in participations in
Senior Loans.  Senior Loans may include  certain  foreign senior debt that is in
the form of notes and not Loan Agreements.

There is less readily available  information about most Senior Loans than is the
case for many other types of  securities.  Senior Loans are generally not listed
on any national  securities exchange or automated quotation system and no active
trading market exists for many Senior Loans. As a result,  many Senior Loans are
illiquid,  meaning that a Fund may not be able to sell them quickly.  The market
for illiquid  securities is more volatile than the market for liquid securities.
The  market  could be  disrupted  in the  event  of an  economic  downturn  or a
substantial increase or decrease in interest rates.

TEMPORARY  TAXABLE  INVESTMENTS  (TAX-FREE BOND FUND ONLY) -- Tax-Free Bond Fund
may from time to time  invest a portion  of its assets on a  temporary  basis in
"temporary  investments," the income from which may be subject to federal income
tax. These investments include AMT Bonds,  short-term or taxable securities (the
income from which may be subject to federal  income  tax),  junk bonds and cash.
Short-term  taxable  investments  normally will consist of notes having  quality
ratings  within  the  two  highest  grades  of  Moody's,  S&P,  Fitch,  or  D&P;
obligations  of  the  U.S.  government,   its  agencies  or   instrumentalities;
commercial  paper rated at least P-2 by Moody's and A-2 by S&P;  certificates of
deposit of U.S.  domestic banks,  including  foreign branches of domestic banks,
with assets of $1 billion or more; time deposits,  bankers acceptances and other
short-term  bank  obligations;  and  repurchase  agreements.  Temporary  taxable
investment  normally will consist of corporate bonds and other debt obligations.
Any net  interest  income on taxable  temporary  investments  will be taxable to
shareholders as ordinary income when distributed.

U.S.  GOVERNMENT  SECURITIES -- Each Fund may, from time to time,  purchase debt
securities  issued by the U.S.  government.  These  securities  include Treasury
bills,  notes,  and bonds.  Treasury  bills have a maturity of one year or less,
Treasury notes generally have a maturity of one to ten years, and Treasury bonds
generally have maturities of more than ten years.

U.S.  government debt securities also include securities issued or guaranteed by
agencies or instrumentalities  of the U.S. government.  Some obligations of U.S.
government  agencies,  which are  established  under the  authority of an act of
Congress,   such  as   Government   National   Mortgage   Association   ("GNMA")
Participation  Certificates,  are  supported by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Treasury.  GNMA Certificates are  mortgage-backed  securities  representing
part  ownership  of a pool of mortgage  loans.  These loans -- issued by lenders
such as mortgage bankers, commercial banks, and savings and loan associations --
are either insured by the Federal  Housing  Administration  or guaranteed by the
Veterans  Administration.  A "pool" or group of such mortgages is assembled and,
after  being  approved  by GNMA,  is offered  to  investors  through  securities
dealers.  Once approved by GNMA, the timely payment of interest and principal on
each  mortgage is  guaranteed by GNMA and backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S.  government.  The market value of GNMA  Certificates is not guaranteed.
GNMA  Certificates  are  different  from bonds  because  principal  is paid back
monthly by the borrower over the term of the loan rather than returned in a lump
sum at  maturity,  as is the case  with a bond.  GNMA  Certificates  are  called
"pass-through"   securities   because  both  interest  and  principal   payments
(including   prepayments)   are  passed  through  to  the  holder  of  the  GNMA
Certificate.

Other United  States  government  debt  securities,  such as  securities  of the
Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from
the Treasury.  Others, such as bonds issued by Fannie Mae, a federally chartered
private corporation, are supported only by the credit of the corporation. In the
<PAGE>
case of securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States,
a Fund  must  look  principally  to  the  agency  issuing  or  guaranteeing  the
obligation  in the  event  the  agency  or  instrumentality  does  not  meet its
commitments.  The U.S. government may choose not to provide financial support to
U.S.  government-sponsored  agencies or  instrumentalities  if it is not legally
obligated to do so. A Fund will invest in securities  of such  instrumentalities
only when  INVESCO is  satisfied  that the credit risk with  respect to any such
instrumentality is comparatively minimal.

WHEN-ISSUED/DELAYED DELIVERY -- The Funds normally buy and sell securities on an
ordinary  settlement basis. That means that the buy or sell order is sent, and a
Fund actually takes delivery or gives up physical  possession of the security on
the "settlement  date," which is three business days later.  However,  the Funds
also may purchase  and sell  securities  on a  when-issued  or delayed  delivery
basis.

When-issued or delayed delivery transactions occur when securities are purchased
or sold by a Fund and payment and delivery take place at an agreed-upon  time in
the  future.  The Funds may  engage in this  practice  in an effort to secure an
advantageous  price  and  yield.  However,  the yield on a  comparable  security
available  when  delivery  actually  takes  place may vary from the yield on the
security at the time the when-issued or delayed delivery transaction was entered
into. When a Fund engages in when-issued and delayed delivery  transactions,  it
relies on the seller or buyer to consummate  the sale at the future date. If the
seller or buyer fails to act as  promised,  that  failure may result in the Fund
missing  the  opportunity  of  obtaining  a  price  or  yield  considered  to be
advantageous.  No  payment  or  delivery  is made by a Fund  until  it  receives
delivery  or  payment  from  the  other  party  to  the  transaction.   However,
fluctuation  in the  value of the  security  from the time of  commitment  until
delivery could adversely affect a Fund.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The investment restrictions set forth below have been adopted by each respective
Fund and,  unless  identified as  non-fundamental  policies,  may not be changed
without the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding  voting securities
of that  Fund.  As  provided  in the  1940  Act,  a "vote of a  majority  of the
outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund" means the  affirmative  vote of the
lesser of (1) more than 50% of the outstanding  shares of the Fund or (2) 67% or
more of the shares  present at a  meeting,  if more than 50% of the  outstanding
shares are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. Except with respect
to borrowing,  changes in values of a particular  Fund's assets will not cause a
violation  of the  following  investment  restrictions  so  long  as  percentage
restrictions  are observed by such Fund at the time it purchases  any  security.
Each Fund may not:

      1. purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or
      guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
      instrumentalities or municipal securities) if, as a result, more than 25%
      of the Fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of
      companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry;

      2. with respect to 75% of the Fund's total assets, purchase the securities
      of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
      government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of
      other investment companies) if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of the
      Fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or
      (ii) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting
      securities of that issuer;

      3. underwrite securities of other issuers, except insofar as it may be
      deemed to be an underwriter under the 1933 Act, in connection with the
      disposition of the Fund's portfolio securities;
<PAGE>
      4. borrow money, except that the Fund may borrow money in an amount not
      exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less
      liabilities (other than borrowings);

      5. issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act;

      6. lend any security or make any loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3%
      of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation
      does not apply to the purchase of debt securities or to repurchase
      agreements;

      7. purchase or sell physical commodities;  however,  this policy shall not
      prevent the Fund from purchasing  and selling  foreign  currency,  futures
      contracts,  options, forward contracts,  swaps, caps, floors, collars, and
      other financial instruments; or

      8. purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership
      of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund
      from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or
      securities of companies engaged in the real estate business).

      9. Each Fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy
      or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
      open-end management investment company managed by INVESCO or an affiliate
      or a successor thereof, with substantially the same fundamental investment
      objective, policies, and limitations as the Fund.

In addition, each Fund has the following non-fundamental policies, which may be
changed without shareholder approval:

      A. The Fund may not sell securities short (unless it owns or has the right
      to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold
      short) or purchase securities on margin, except that (i) this policy does
      not prevent the Fund from entering into short positions in foreign
      currency, futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps, caps,
      floors, collars, and other financial instruments, (ii) the Fund may obtain
      such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of
      transactions, and (iii) the Fund may make margin payments in connection
      with futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors,
      collars, and other financial instruments.

      B. The Fund may borrow money only from a bank or from an open-end
      management investment company managed by INVESCO or an affiliate or a
      successor thereof for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging
      or investing) or by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any
      party (reverse repurchase agreements will be treated as borrowings for
      purposes of fundamental limitation (4)).

      C. The Fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
      result, more than 15% of its net assets would be invested in securities
      that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or
      contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
      disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
      at which they are valued.

      D. The Fund may invest in securities issued by other investment companies
      to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund's
      investment objective and policies and permissible under the 1940 Act.

      E. With respect to fundamental limitation (1), domestic and foreign
      banking will be considered to be different industries.

In addition, with respect to a Fund that may invest in municipal obligations,
the following non-fundamental policy applies, which may be changed without
shareholder approval:
<PAGE>
     Each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico),  territory
     and possession of the United States,  each political  subdivision,  agency,
     instrumentality and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of which
     a state is a member is a separate "issuer." When the assets and revenues of
     an agency, authority,  instrumentality,  or other political subdivision are
     separate from the government  creating the  subdivision and the security is
     backed only by assets and  revenues of the  subdivision,  such  subdivision
     would  be  deemed  to be the  sole  issuer.  Similarly,  in the  case of an
     Industrial  Development  Bond or  Private  Activity  bond,  if that bond is
     backed only by the assets and revenues of the  non-governmental  user, then
     that non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer.  However,
     if the creating government or another entity guarantees a security, then to
     the extent that the value of all  securities  issued or  guaranteed by that
     government  or entity and owned by a Fund  exceeds 10% of the Fund's  total
     assets,  the guarantee would be considered a separate security and would be
     treated as issued by that government or entity. With respect to a Fund that
     is not a money market fund,  securities  issued or  guaranteed by a bank or
     subject to financial  guaranty insurance are not subject to the limitations
     set forth in the preceding sentence.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

INVESCO serves as investment  advisor to the Funds under an Investment  Advisory
Agreement dated February 28, 1997 (the "Agreement") with the Company.

The Agreement requires that INVESCO manage the investment portfolio of each Fund
in a way that conforms with the Fund's investment policies. INVESCO may directly
manage a Fund itself,  or may hire a  sub-advisor,  which may be an affiliate of
INVESCO, to do so. Specifically, INVESCO is responsible for:

   o managing the investment and reinvestment of all the assets of the Funds,
     and executing all purchases and sales of portfolio securities;

   o maintaining a continuous investment program for the Funds, consistent
     with (i) each Fund's investment policies as set forth in the Company's
     Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Registration Statement, as from time
     to time amended, under the 1940 Act, and in any prospectus and/or statement
     of additional information of the Funds, as from time to time amended and in
     use under the 1933 Act, and (ii) the Company's status as a regulated
     investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

   o determining what securities are to be purchased or sold for the Funds,
     unless otherwise directed by the directors of the Company, and executing
     transactions accordingly;
<PAGE>
   o providing the Funds the benefit of investment analysis and research, the
     reviews of current economic conditions and trends, and the consideration of
     a long-range investment policy now or hereafter generally available to the
     investment advisory customers of the advisor or any sub-advisor;

   o determining what portion of each Fund's assets should be invested in the
     various types of securities authorized for purchase by the Fund; and

   o making recommendations as to the manner in which voting rights, rights to
     consent to Fund action and any other rights pertaining to a Fund's
     portfolio securities shall be exercised.

INVESCO also performs all of the following services for the Funds:

   o administrative;

   o internal accounting (including computation of net asset value);

   o clerical and statistical;

   o secretarial;

   o all other services necessary or incidental to the administration of the
     affairs of the Funds;

   o supplying the Company with officers, clerical staff, and other employees;

   o furnishing office space, facilities, equipment, and supplies; providing
     personnel and facilities required to respond to inquiries related to
     shareholder accounts;

   o conducting periodic compliance reviews of the Funds' operations;
     preparation and review of required documents, reports and filings by
     INVESCO's in-house legal and accounting staff or in conjunction with
     independent attorneys and accountants (including prospectus, statements of
     additional information, proxy statements, shareholder reports, tax returns,
     reports to the SEC, and other corporate documents of the Funds);

   o supplying basic telephone service and other utilities; and

   o preparing and maintaining certain of the books and records required to be
     prepared and maintained by the Funds under the 1940 Act.

Expenses not assumed by INVESCO are borne by the Funds. As full compensation for
its advisory  services to the Company,  INVESCO receives a monthly fee from each
Fund.  The fee is calculated at the annual rate of:

High Yield Fund

   o 0.50% on the first $300 million of the Fund's average net assets;

   o 0.40% on the next $200 million of the Fund's average net assets; and

   o 0.30% of the Fund's average net assets from $500 million.

Select Income, Tax-Free Bond, and U.S. Government Securities Funds

   o 0.55% on the first $300 million of each Fund's average net assets;

   o 0.45% on the next $200 million of each Fund's average net assets; and

   o 0.35% of each Fund's average net assets from $500 million.

During the periods  outlined in the table below, the Funds paid INVESCO advisory
fees in the dollar amounts shown.  If applicable,  the advisory fees were offset
by credits in the amounts  shown,  so that  INVESCO's fees were not in excess of
the expense  limitations  shown,  which have been  voluntarily  agreed to by the
Company  and  INVESCO.  The fee is  allocated  daily to each class  based on the
relative proportion of net assets represented by such class.

THE SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

With  respect to Tax-Free  Bond Fund,  A I M Capital  Management,  Inc.  ("AIM")
serves as sub-advisor to the Fund pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement dated May
10, 2000 (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") with INVESCO.

The  Sub-Advisory  Agreement  provides that AIM,  subject to the  supervision of
INVESCO,  shall manage the investment  portfolio of the Fund in conformity  with
the Fund's investment policies.  These management services include: (a) managing
the investment and reinvestment of all the assets, now or hereafter acquired, of
the Fund,  and executing all  purchases and sales of portfolio  securities;  (b)
maintaining a continuous  investment  program for the Fund,  consistent with (i)
the  Fund's  investment  policies  as set  forth in the  Company's  Articles  of
Incorporation,  Bylaws and Registration Statement, as from time to time amended,
under the 1940 Act,  as  amended,  and in any  prospectus  and/or  statement  of
additional  information  of the Fund,  as from time to time  amended  and in use
<PAGE>
under  the 1933 Act and (ii) the  Company's  status  as a  regulated  investment
company  under the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;  (c)  determining
what  securities  are to be  purchased  or sold for the Fund,  unless  otherwise
directed by the directors of the Company or INVESCO, and executing  transactions
accordingly;  (d)  providing  the  Fund  the  benefit  of all of the  investment
analysis and research,  the reviews of current  economic  conditions and trends,
and the consideration of long-range investment policy now or hereafter generally
available to investment  advisory customers of AIM; (e) determining what portion
of the Fund's  assets  should be  invested in the  various  types of  securities
authorized  for purchase by the Fund; and (f) making  recommendations  as to the
manner in which voting rights, rights to consent to Company action and any other
rights  pertaining to the  portfolio  securities of the Fund shall be exercised.
The Sub-Advisory  Agreement provides that, as compensation for its services, AIM
shall  receive  from  INVESCO,  at the end of each  month,  a fee based upon the
average daily value of the Fund's net assets.  The sub-advisory fees are paid by
INVESCO, NOT the Fund. The fees are calculated at the following annual rates:

Tax-Free Bond Fund

   o 0.22% on the first $300 million of the Fund's average net assets;

   o 0.18% on the next $200 million of the Fund's average net assets;

   o 0.14% of the Fund's average net assets from $500 million;

BOARD RENEWAL OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

In  renewing  the  Advisory  Agreement  and  Sub-Advisory  Agreement,  the board
primarily considered, with respect to each Fund, the nature, quality, and extent
of the services  provided under the  Agreements and the overall  fairness of the
Agreements.  The board  requested  and evaluated  information  from INVESCO that
addressed  specific factors  designed to assist in the board's  consideration of
these issues.

With  respect to the nature and  quality  of the  services  provided,  the board
reviewed,  among other things, (1) the overall  performance results of the Funds
in  comparison  to  relevant  indices;  (2) a  summary  for  each  Fund  of  the
performance of a peer group of investment  companies  pursuing  broadly  similar
strategies  prepared by an independent data service,  and (3) the degree of risk
undertaken  by INVESCO as reflected by a risk/return  summary,  also prepared by
the independent data service.  The board also considered INVESCO's resources and
responsiveness   with  respect  to  Funds  that  have  experienced   performance
difficulties  and discussed  the efforts  being made to improve the  performance
records of such Funds.  The board also considered the advantages to each Fund of
having  an  advisor  that is  associated  with a  global  investment  management
organization  and the experience of the  Sub-Advisor  in managing  tax-free bond
funds.  In  connection  with its review of the quality of the  execution  of the
Funds'  trades,  the board  considered  INVESCO's  use in fund  transactions  of
brokers or dealers that provided  research and other  services to INVESCO or its
affiliates,  and the  benefits  derived  from such  services to the Funds and to
INVESCO.   The  board  also  considered  the  quality  of  the  shareholder  and
administrative  services  provided  by INVESCO,  as well as the firm's  positive
compliance history.

With  respect to the overall  fairness of the  Agreements,  the board  primarily
considered  the  fairness  of fee  arrangements  and the  profitability  and any
fall-out  benefits to INVESCO and its affiliates from their association with the
Funds. The board reviewed information from an independent data service about the
rates of  compensation  paid to investment  advisors and overall expense ratios,
for funds comparable in size,  character,  and investment strategy to the Funds.
In concluding that the benefits accruing to INVESCO and its affiliates by virtue
of their  relationships  with the Funds were  reasonable in comparison  with the
costs of providing  investment  advisory  services and the benefits  accruing to
each Fund,  the board reviewed  specific data as to INVESCO's  profit or loss on
each Fund, and carefully examined INVESCO's cost allocation methodology. In this
connection,  the board  requested that the Funds'  independent  auditors  review
INVESCO's  methodology for appropriateness.  The board concluded that renewal of
the Advisory  Agreement and  Sub-Advisory  Agreement was in the best interest of
the Funds' shareholders.  These matters were considered by the directors who are
not  affiliated  with  INVESCO  (the  "Independent   Directors")   working  with
experienced 1940 Act counsel that is independent of INVESCO.

<PAGE>
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT

INVESCO,  either  directly or through  affiliated  companies,  provides  certain
administrative, sub-accounting, and recordkeeping services to the Funds pursuant
to an Administrative  Services Agreement dated June 1, 2000, as amended November
30, 2002 with the Company.

The Administrative  Services Agreement requires INVESCO to provide the following
services to the Funds:

   o such sub-accounting and recordkeeping services and functions as are
     reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds; and

   o such sub-accounting, recordkeeping, and administrative services and
     functions, which may be provided by affiliates of INVESCO, as are
     reasonably necessary for the operation of Fund shareholder accounts
     maintained by certain retirement plans and employee benefit plans for the
     benefit of participants in such plans.

As full  compensation for services  provided under the  Administrative  Services
Agreement,  each Fund pays a monthly fee to INVESCO  consisting of a base fee of
$10,000 per year,  plus an additional  incremental  fee computed  daily and paid
monthly at an annual rate of 0.045% of the average net assets of each Fund.

TRANSFER AGENCY AGREEMENT

INVESCO also performs  transfer agent,  dividend  disbursing agent and registrar
services for the Funds  pursuant to a Transfer  Agency  Agreement  dated June 1,
2000, as amended November 30, 2002 with the Company.

The Transfer Agency Agreement provides that each Fund pays INVESCO an annual fee
of $28.50 per shareholder account,  or, where applicable,  per participant in an
omnibus account.  This fee is paid monthly at the rate of 1/12 of the annual fee
and is based upon the actual number of shareholder  accounts and omnibus account
participants in each Fund at any time during each month.

FEES PAID TO INVESCO

During the periods  outlined in the table  below,  the Funds paid the  following
fees to INVESCO (in some instances, prior to the voluntary absorption of certain
Fund  expenses  by INVESCO and the  sub-advisor,  if  applicable).  The fees are
allocated  daily to each class based on the  relative  proportion  of net assets
represented  by  such  class.  To  limit  expenses,  INVESCO  has  contractually
obligated  itself to waive fees and bear expenses  through  August 31, 2004 that
would  cause the ratio of  expenses  to average  net assets to exceed  2.10% for
Class A shares,  2.75%  for each of Class B and  Class C  shares,  and 2.20% for
Class K shares.  INVESCO is  entitled  to  reimbursement  by a class of any fees
waived  pursuant to this  arrangement if such  reimbursement  does not cause the
class to exceed the current expense  limitations and the  reimbursement  is made
within three years after INVESCO incurred the expense.

(1) The vice chairman of the board, the chairs of the Funds'  committees who are
Independent  Directors,  and  the  members  of the  Funds'  committees  who  are
Independent Directors,  each receive compensation for serving in such capacities
in addition to the compensation paid to all Independent Directors.

(2) Represents  estimated  benefits  accrued with respect to the Retirement Plan
discussed below, and not compensation deferred at the election of the directors.

(3) These amounts represent the Company's share of the estimated annual benefits
payable by the INVESCO Funds upon the directors'  retirement,  calculated  using
the current method of allocating director  compensation among the INVESCO Funds.
These  estimated  benefits  assume  retirement  at age 72. With the exception of
Messrs. Bunch and Lewis, each of these directors has served as a director of one
or more of the funds in the  INVESCO  Funds  for the  minimum  five-year  period
required to be eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan.

(4) Dr. Gramm resigned as a director of the Company on February 7, 2002.

(5) Total as a percentage of the Company's net assets as of August 31, 2002.

(6) Total as a  percentage  of the net  assets  of the  INVESCO  Complex  as of
December 31, 2001.

Messrs.  Cunningham,  Healey,  and  Williamson,  as Interested  Directors of the
Company and the INVESCO Funds,  receive compensation as officers or employees of
INVESCO or its affiliated  companies,  and do not receive any director's fees or
other  compensation from the Company or the other funds in the INVESCO Funds for
their service as directors.

The boards of directors of the INVESCO Funds have adopted a Retirement Plan (the
"Plan")  for the  Independent  Directors  of the Funds.  Under  this Plan,  each
director  who is not an  interested  person of the Funds (as  defined in Section
2(a)(19)  of the  1940  Act)  and who has  served  for at  least  five  years (a
"Qualified  Director") is entitled to receive a retirement  benefit.  Commencing
with attainment of age 72 by a Qualified Director who voluntarily  retires prior
to reaching age 72 and  commencing  with the date of  retirement  of a Qualified
Director who retires upon reaching age 72 or at any time subsequent to age 72 up
to the  mandatory  retirement  age of 75, a  Qualified  Director  shall  receive
quarterly  payments  at an  annual  rate  of  $34,000  (the  "Annual  Benefit").
Directors who became Qualified Directors on or before January 1, 2001 who retire
upon  reaching age 72 (or age 73 or 74, if the Director  extends his  retirement
date for one or two years,  but less than three  years) are  entitled to payment
for one year of twice the Annual  Benefit.  Payment of the Annual  Benefit  will
continue  for the  remainder  of the  Qualified  Director's  life or ten  years,
whichever is longer.  If a Qualified  Director  becomes disabled before the date
upon which his or her Annual  Benefit  payments would  normally  commence,  such
benefit  payments will begin. If a Qualified  Director dies prior to the receipt
of the Annual Benefit for ten years,  the Annual Benefit will be paid to his/her
beneficiary  or estate  until an  aggregate  of ten years of  payments  has been
received.  The Plan is  administered  by a committee of three  directors who are
also  participants  in the Plan and one director who is not a Plan  participant.
The cost of the Plan  will be  allocated  among  the  INVESCO  Funds in a manner
determined to be fair and equitable by the  committee.  The Company began making
payments  under an  earlier  Plan to former  director  Daniel D.  Chabris  as of
October  1, 1998 and to former  director  Kenneth T. King as of January 1, 2000.
Messrs. Chabris and King are entitled to receive quarterly payments at an annual
rate equal to 50% of the annual  retainer  fees and annual  board  meeting  fees
which are paid to an active  Fund  Director.  Annual  payments  made to  Messrs.
Chabris and King exceed  $34,000 per year.  The Company has no stock  options or
other pension or retirement  plans for management or other personnel and pays no
salary or compensation to any of its officers.

The  Independent  Directors have  contributed to a deferred  compensation  plan,
pursuant to which they have  deferred  receipt of a portion of the  compensation
which they would otherwise have been paid as directors of certain of the INVESCO
Funds.  Certain of the deferred  amounts have been invested in the shares of all
<PAGE>
INVESCO Funds,  except Funds offered by INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc.,
in which the directors are legally  precluded from investing.  Each  Independent
Director  may,  therefore,  be deemed to have an indirect  interest in shares of
each  INVESCO  Fund,  in  addition to any  INVESCO  Fund shares the  Independent
Director  may own  either  directly  or  beneficially.  Each of the  Independent
Directors has agreed to invest a minimum of $100,000 of his or her own resources
in  shares  of  the  INVESCO  Funds.  Compensation  contributed  to  a  deferred
compensation plan may constitute all or a portion of this $100,000 commitment.

As of December 2,  2002,  officers  and  directors of the Company,  as a group,
beneficially owned less than 1% of any Fund's outstanding shares.

DISTRIBUTOR

INVESCO Distributors, Inc. ("IDI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of INVESCO, is the
distributor of the Funds. IDI bears all expenses, including the cost of printing
and  distributing  the  prospectus,  incident to marketing of the Funds' shares,
except for such  distribution  expenses as are paid out of Fund assets under the
Company's Plans of Distribution  (each  individually a "Plan" and  collectively,
the "Plans"),  which have been adopted by each Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under
the 1940 Act.
<PAGE>
INVESTOR  CLASS.  The  Company  has  adopted  a  Master  Plan and  Agreement  of
Distribution  - Investor  Class (the  "Investor  Class  Plan")  with  respect to
Investor  Class shares,  which  provides that the Investor  Class shares of each
Fund will make  monthly  payments  to IDI  computed at an annual rate no greater
than 0.25% of average net assets  attributable  to Investor Class shares.  These
payments  permit IDI, at its  discretion,  to engage in certain  activities  and
provide  services in connection with the distribution of a Fund's Investor Class
shares to investors.  Payments by a Fund under the Investor  Class Plan, for any
month, may be made to compensate IDI for permissible  activities  engaged in and
services provided.

CLASS A. The  Company  has adopted a Master  Distribution  Plan and  Agreement -
Class A pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act relating to the Class A shares
of the Funds (the "Class A Plan"). Under the Class A Plan, Class A shares of the
Funds  pay  compensation  to IDI at an  annual  rate of 0.35%  per  annum of the
average  daily net  assets  attributable  to Class A shares  for the  purpose of
financing  any  activity  which is  primarily  intended to result in the sale of
Class A shares.  During  any  period in which a Fund is closed due to high asset
levels,  the Class A shares of the Fund will  reduce  this  payment  of 0.35% to
0.25% per annum.

The Class A Plan is designed to compensate IDI, on a monthly basis,  for certain
promotional  and  other  sales-related  costs,  and  to  implement  a  financial
intermediary  incentive program which provides for periodic payments to selected
dealers who furnish continuing personal  shareholder services to their customers
who purchase and own Class A shares of the Funds.  Payments can also be directed
by IDI to selected  financial  intermediaries  that have  entered  into  service
agreements  with  respect  to  Class A shares  of the  Funds  and  that  provide
continuing personal shareholder services to their customers who purchase and own
Class A shares.  The service fees payable to selected  financial  intermediaries
are  calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value
of those Fund shares that are held in such financial  intermediaries  customers'
accounts.

Of the aggregate  amount  payable under the Class A Plan,  payments to financial
intermediaries  that provide continuing personal  shareholder  services to their
customers  who  purchase  and own Class A shares of the Funds,  in amounts up to
0.25% of the  average  daily  net  assets  of the  Class A shares  of each  Fund
attributable   to  the   customers  of  such   financial   intermediaries,   are
characterized as service fees. Payments to financial intermediaries in excess of
such amount and payments to IDI would be characterized  as an asset-based  sales
charge  pursuant to the Class A Plan. The Class A Plan also imposes a cap on the
total amount of sales charges,  including asset-based sales charges, that may be
paid by the Company with respect to the Class A shares of a Fund.

CLASS B. The  Company  has adopted a Master  Distribution  Plan and  Agreement -
Class B pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act  relating to Class B shares of
the Funds (the  "Class B Plan").  Under the Class B Plan,  Class B shares of the
Funds pay  compensation  monthly to IDI at an annual  rate of 1.00% per annum of
the average daily net assets  attributable  to Class B shares for the purpose of
financing  any  activity  which is  primarily  intended to result in the sale of
Class B shares.  Of such  amount,  each Fund pays a service  fee of 0.25% of the
average daily net assets  attributable  to Class B shares to selected  financial
intermediaries that have entered into service agreements with respect to Class B
shares of the Funds and that provide continuing personal shareholder services to
their  customers  who  purchase  and own  Class B shares.  Payments  can also be
directed by IDI to selected  financial  intermediaries  that have  entered  into
service  agreements with respect to Class B shares of the Funds and that provide
continuing  personal  services to their  customers who own Class B shares of the
Funds.  Any amounts not paid as a service fee would  constitute  an  asset-based
sales charge  pursuant to the Class B Plan.  The Class B Plan also imposes a cap
on the total amount of sales charges,  including asset-based sales charges, that
may be paid by the Company with respect to the Class B shares of a Fund.
<PAGE>
The Class B Plan may obligate the Class B shares to continue to make payments to
IDI  following  termination  of the Class B Plan with  respect to Class B shares
sold by or attributable to the distribution efforts of IDI unless there has been
a  complete  termination  of the  Class  B  Plan  (as  defined  in  such  Plan).
Additionally,  the Class B Plan expressly authorizes IDI to assign,  transfer or
pledge its rights to  payments  pursuant to the Class B Plan.  As a result,  the
contingent  deferred  sales charge  (CDSC) on Class B shares will continue to be
applicable  even in the event of a complete  termination of the Class B Plan (as
defined in such Plan).

CLASS C. The  Company  has adopted a Master  Distribution  Plan and  Agreement -
Class C pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act relating to the Class C shares
of the Funds (the "Class C Plan"). Under the Class C Plan, Class C shares of the
Funds  pay  compensation  to IDI at an  annual  rate of 1.00%  per  annum of the
average  daily net  assets  attributable  to Class C shares  for the  purpose of
financing  any  activity  which is  primarily  intended to result in the sale of
Class C shares.  The Class C Plan is  designed  to  compensate  IDI for  certain
promotional  and  other  sales-related  costs,  and  to  implement  a  financial
intermediary  incentive program which provides for periodic payments to selected
financial intermediaries who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to
their customers who purchase and own Class C shares of a Fund. Payments can also
be directed by IDI to selected financial  intermediaries  that have entered into
service  agreements with respect to Class C shares of each Fund and that provide
continuing personal services to their customers who own such Class C shares.

Of the aggregate  amount  payable under the Class C Plan,  payments to financial
intermediaries  that provide continuing personal  shareholder  services to their
customers  who  purchase  and own Class C shares of a Fund,  in amounts of up to
0.25% of the  average  daily  net  assets  of the  Class C shares  of each  Fund
attributable to the customers of such financial intermediaries are characterized
as a service fee. Payments to financial  intermediaries in excess of such amount
and  payments  to IDI would be  characterized  as an  asset-based  sales  charge
pursuant to the Class C Plan.  The Class C Plan also  imposes a cap on the total
amount of sales charges,  including  asset-based sales charges, that may be paid
by the Company with respect to the Class C shares.

IDI may pay sales  commissions  to  financial  intermediaries  that sell Class C
shares of the Funds at the time of such sales.  Payments with respect to Class C
shares will equal 1.00% of the purchase  price of the Class C shares sold by the
financial intermediary, and will consist of an asset-based sales charge of 0.75%
of the  purchase  price of Class C shares sold plus an advance of the first year
service fee of 0.25% with respect to such  shares.  IDI will retain all payments
received by it relating to Class C shares for the first  thirteen  months  after
they are  purchased.  The portion of the  payments to IDI under the Class C Plan
which  constitutes  an  asset-based  sales charge (0.75%) is intended in part to
permit  IDI to recoup a portion  of  on-going  sales  commissions  to  financial
intermediaries  plus financing  costs, if any. After the first thirteen  months,
IDI will make such payments quarterly to financial  intermediaries  based on the
average net asset value of Class C shares which are attributable to shareholders
for whom the financial intermediaries are designated as dealers of record. These
commissions are not paid on sales to investors who may not be subject to payment
of the CDSC and in  circumstances  where IDI grants an exemption  on  particular
transactions.  Should the financial  intermediary elect to waive the asset-based
sales  charge,  the  12b-1  fees will  begin to be paid by IDI to the  financial
intermediary immediately.

CLASS K (High Yield and Select Income  Funds).  The Company has adopted a Master
Distribution  Plan and Agreement - Class K pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act  relating to Class K shares  (the  "Class K Plan").  Under the Class K Plan,
Class K shares of the Funds pay  compensation  to IDI at an annual rate of 0.45%
of  average  net  assets  attributable  to Class K  shares  for the  purpose  of
financing  any  activity  which is  primarily  intended to result in the sale of
Class K shares.  The Class K Plan is  designed  to  compensate  IDI for  certain
promotional  and  other  sales-related  costs,  and  to  implement  a  financial
intermediary  incentive program which provides for periodic payments to selected
financial intermediaries who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to
their customers who purchase and own Class K shares of a Fund. Payments can also
be directed by IDI to selected financial  intermediaries  that have entered into
service  agreements with respect to Class K shares of each Fund and that provide
continuing personal services to their customers who own such Class K shares.

<PAGE>
Of the aggregate  amount  payable under the Class K Plan,  payments to financial
intermediaries  that provide continuing personal  shareholder  services to their
customers who purchase and own Class K shares of a Fund may be  characterized as
a service fee.

ALL PLANS. Activities appropriate for financing under the Plans include, but are
not limited to, the  following:  printing of the  prospectus  and  statements of
additional  information  and  reports  for  other  than  existing  shareholders;
preparation  and  distribution  of  advertising  material and sales  literature;
expenses of organizing and conducting sales seminars;  and supplemental payments
to financial  intermediaries such as asset-based sales charges or as payments of
service fees under shareholder service arrangements.

A significant  expenditure  under the Plans is  compensation  paid to securities
companies and other financial institutions and organizations,  which may include
INVESCO-affiliated  companies,  in order to obtain various  distribution-related
and/or administrative  services for the Funds. Each Fund is authorized by a Plan
to use its assets to finance the  payments  made to obtain those  services  from
selected  financial  intermediaries  which may enter into  agreements  with IDI.
Payments  will be made by IDI to financial  intermediaries  who sell shares of a
Fund  and may be  made to  banks,  savings  and  loan  associations,  and  other
depository  institutions  ("Banks").  Although the Glass-Steagall Act limits the
ability of certain Banks to act as underwriters  of mutual fund shares,  INVESCO
does not believe that these  limitations  would affect the ability of such Banks
to enter into  arrangements  with IDI, but can give no assurance in this regard.
However,  to the extent it is determined  otherwise in the future,  arrangements
with banks might have to be modified or terminated,  and, in that case, the size
of the Funds  possibly  could  decrease  to the extent  that the Banks  would no
longer  invest  customer  assets  in the  Funds.  Neither  the  Company  nor its
investment  advisor  will give any  preference  to Banks  which  enter into such
arrangements  when  selecting  investments  to  be  made  by a  Fund.  Financial
intermediaries  entitled to receive  compensation  for  selling  Fund shares may
receive  different  compensation  for  selling  shares of one  particular  class
instead of another.

The Funds made payments to IDI under the Investor Class, Class A, Class B, Class
C, and, if  applicable,  Class K Plans  during the fiscal  year or period  ended
August 31, 2002 in the following amounts:

</TABLE>
(1) For the period April 1, 2002, commencement of operations, through August 31,
2002.

The  services  which  are  provided  by  financial  intermediaries  may  vary by
financial  intermediary  but  include,   among  other  things,   processing  new
shareholder  account  applications,  preparing and transmitting to the Company's
Transfer  Agent  computer-processable  data  files of all Fund  transactions  by
customers,  serving  as the  primary  source  of  information  to  customers  in
answering  questions  concerning  the Funds,  and  assisting  in other  customer
transactions with the Funds.

The Plans  provide that they shall  continue in effect with respect to each Fund
as long as such  continuance  is approved  at least  annually by the vote of the
board of  directors  of the Company  cast in person at a meeting  called for the
purpose of voting on such  continuance,  including the vote of a majority of the
Independent  Directors.  A Plan can be terminated at any time by a Fund, without
penalty,  if a majority of the  Independent  Directors,  or  shareholders of the
<PAGE>
relevant class of shares of the Fund, vote to terminate a Plan. The Company may,
in its absolute  discretion,  suspend,  discontinue or limit the offering of its
shares at any time. In determining  whether any such action should be taken, the
board of directors intends to consider all relevant factors  including,  without
limitation,  the size of a Fund,  the  investment  climate  for a Fund,  general
market  conditions,  and the volume of sales and redemptions of a Fund's shares.
The Plans may continue in effect and payments may be made under a Plan following
any temporary suspension or limitation of the offering of Fund shares;  however,
the Company is not contractually obligated to continue a Plan for any particular
period of time.  Suspension  of the  offering of a Fund's  shares  would not, of
course, affect a shareholder's ability to redeem his or her shares.

So long as the Plans are in effect,  the selection and  nomination of persons to
serve  as  Independent  Directors  of the  Company  shall  be  committed  to the
Independent  Directors  then  in  office  at  the  time  of  such  selection  or
nomination.  The Plans may not be  amended  to  increase  the amount of a Fund's
payments  under a Plan  without  approval  of the  shareholders  of that  Fund's
respective  class of  shares,  and all  material  amendments  to a Plan  must be
approved by the board of directors  of the Company,  including a majority of the
Independent  Directors.  Under the agreement  implementing  the Plans,  IDI or a
Fund,  the  latter by vote of a  majority  of the  Independent  Directors,  or a
majority of the holders of the  relevant  class of a Fund's  outstanding  voting
securities,  may  terminate  such  agreement  without  penalty upon thirty days'
written  notice to the other party.  No further  payments will be made by a Fund
under a Plan in the event of its termination.

To the extent that a Plan constitutes a plan of distribution adopted pursuant to
Rule  12b-1  under the 1940  Act,  it shall  remain in effect as such,  so as to
authorize  the use of Fund assets in the amounts and for the  purposes set forth
therein, notwithstanding the occurrence of an assignment, as defined by the 1940
Act, and rules thereunder. To the extent it constitutes an agreement pursuant to
a  Plan,  a  Fund's   obligation  to  make  payments  to  IDI  shall   terminate
automatically,  in the event of such  "assignment."  In this  event,  a Fund may
continue  to make  payments  pursuant  to a Plan only upon the  approval  of new
arrangements  regarding  the use of the amounts  authorized to be paid by a Fund
under a Plan. Such new arrangements must be approved by the directors, including
a majority of the Independent  Directors,  by a vote cast in person at a meeting
called for such purpose.  These new arrangements might or might not be with IDI.
On a quarterly basis, the directors  review  information  about the distribution
services  that have been  provided to each Fund and the 12b-1 fees paid for such
services.  On an annual basis,  the directors  consider whether a Plan should be
continued and, if so, whether any amendment to a Plan,  including changes in the
amount of 12b-1 fees paid by each class of a Fund, should be made.

The only Company  directors and interested  persons,  as that term is defined in
Section  2(a)(19)  of the 1940  Act,  who have a direct  or  indirect  financial
interest in the  operation of the Plans are the  officers  and  directors of the
Company who are also officers either of IDI or other  companies  affiliated with
IDI. The benefits which the Company  believes will be reasonably  likely to flow
to a Fund and its shareholders under the Plans include the following:

   o Enhanced marketing efforts, if successful, should result in an increase
     in net assets through the sale of additional shares and afford greater
     resources with which to pursue the investment objectives of the Funds;

   o The sale of additional shares reduces the likelihood that redemption of
     shares will require the liquidation of securities of the Funds in amounts
     and at times that are disadvantageous for investment purposes; and

   o Increased Fund assets may result in reducing each investor's share of
     certain expenses through economies of scale (e.g. exceeding established
     breakpoints in an advisory fee schedule and allocating fixed expenses over
     a larger asset base), thereby partially offsetting the costs of a Plan.

The positive effect which increased Fund assets will have on INVESCO's revenues
could allow INVESCO and its affiliated companies:
<PAGE>
   o To have greater resources to make the financial commitments necessary to
     improve the quality and level of the Funds' shareholder services (in both
     systems and personnel);

   o To increase the number and type of mutual funds available to investors
     from INVESCO and its affiliated companies (and support them in their
     infancy), and thereby expand the investment choices available to all
     shareholders; and

   o To acquire and retain talented employees who desire to be associated with
     a growing organization.

SALES CHARGES AND DEALER CONCESSIONS

SALES CHARGES

Class A shares of the Funds are currently  sold with a sales charge ranging from
4.75% to 2.00% of the offering price on purchases of less than $1,000,000.

                                                                  Dealer

(1) There is no sales charge on purchases of  $1,000,000 or more;  however,  IDI
may pay a dealer concession and/or advance a service fee on such transactions as
set forth below.

IDI may elect to re-allow the entire initial sales charge to financial
intermediaries for all sales with respect to which orders are placed with IDI
during a particular period. Financial intermediaries to whom substantially the
entire sales charge is re-allowed may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that
term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933.

In addition to amounts paid to financial  intermediaries  as a dealer concession
out of the initial sales charge paid by  investors,  IDI may, from time to time,
at its expense or as an expense for which it may be compensated under a Plan, if
applicable,  pay a bonus  or  other  consideration  or  incentive  to  financial
intermediaries  who sell a minimum  dollar  amount of the shares of the  INVESCO
Funds  during  a  specified  period  of time.  At the  option  of the  financial
intermediary,  such incentives may take the form of payment for travel expenses,
including  lodging,  incurred  in  connection  with  trips  taken by  qualifying
financial  intermediaries  and their  families  to places  within or outside the
United  States.  The total  amount of such  additional  bonus  payments or other
consideration  shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of the shares
sold.  Any such bonus or  incentive  programs  will not change the price paid by
investors  for the purchase of a Fund's shares or the amount a Fund will receive
as proceeds  from such sales.  Financial  intermediaries  may not use sales of a
Fund's shares to qualify for any  incentives to the extent that such  incentives
may be prohibited by the laws of any state.
<PAGE>
IDI may pay sales  commissions  to  financial  intermediaries  that sell Class B
shares of the Funds at the time of such sales.  Payments with respect to Class B
shares will equal 4.00% of the purchase  price of the Class B shares sold by the
financial intermediary, and will consist of a sales commission equal to 3.75% of
the  purchase  price of the  Class B shares  sold plus an  advance  of the first
year's  service  fee of 0.25% with  respect to such  shares.  The portion of the
payments to IDI under the Class B Plan which  constitutes an  asset-based  sales
charge  (0.75%)  is  intended  in part to permit IDI to recoup a portion of such
sales commissions plus financing costs.

IDI may pay sales commissions to financial intermediaries that sell Class C
shares of the Funds at the time of such sales. Payments with respect to Class C
shares will equal 1.00% of the purchase price of the Class C shares sold by the
financial intermediary, and will consist of a sales commission of 0.75% of the
purchase price of Class C shares sold plus an advance of the first year's
service fee of 0.25% with respect to such shares. IDI will retain all payments
received by it relating to Class C shares for the first thirteen months after
they are purchased. The portion of the payments to IDI under the Class C Plan
which constitutes an asset-based sales charge (0.75%) is intended in part to
permit IDI to recoup a portion of on-going sales commissions to financial
intermediaries plus financing costs, if any. After the first thirteen months,
IDI will make such payments quarterly to financial intermediaries based on the
average net asset value of Class C shares which are attributable to shareholders
for whom the financial intermediaries are designated as dealers of record. These
commissions are not paid on sales to investors who may not be subject to payment
of the CDSC and in circumstances where IDI grants an exemption on particular
transactions. Should the financial intermediary elect to waive the sales
commission, the 12b-1 fees will begin to be paid by IDI to the financial
intermediary or institution immediately.

DEALER CONCESSIONS (CLASS A AND CLASS K ONLY)

Investors who purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares do not pay an
initial sales charge. IDI may pay financial intermediaries for share purchases
(measured on an annual basis) by non-qualified investors and qualified plans of
Class A and Class K shares of the Funds as follows.

Non-Qualified Investors. IDI may pay financial intermediaries for share
purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of the Funds sold at net asset
value to non-qualified investors as follows: 1.00% of the first $2 million of
such purchases, 0.80% on the next $1 million of such purchases, 0.50% on the
next $17 million of such purchases, and 0.25% of amounts in excess of $20
million of such purchases.

Qualified  Plans. IDI may pay financial  intermediaries  for Class A and Class K
share purchases as follows:

     Class A - Option 1: For qualified plans of $1,000,000 or more, 0.50% of the

REDUCTIONS IN INITIAL SALES CHARGES (CLASS A ONLY)

Reductions  in the  initial  sales  charges  shown in the  sales  charges  table
(quantity  discounts) apply to purchases of Class A shares of the Funds that are
otherwise  subject to an initial sales charge,  provided that such purchases are
made by a "Purchaser" as hereinafter defined.
<PAGE>
The term "Purchaser" means:

   o an individual and his or her spouse and children, including any trust
     established exclusively for the benefit of any such person; or a pension,
     profit-sharing, or other benefit plan established exclusively for the
     benefit of any such person, such as an IRA, Roth IRA, a single-participant
     money purchase/profit sharing plan or an individual participant in a 403(b)
     Plan (unless such 403(b) plan qualifies as the Purchaser as defined below);

   o a 403(b) plan, the employer/sponsor of which is an organization described
     under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
     (the "Code"), if:

     a.   the  employer/sponsor  submits  contributions  for  all  participating
          employees in a single  contribution  transmittal (i.e., the Funds will
          not  accept   contributions   submitted  with  respect  to  individual
          participants);

     b.   each  transmittal  is  accompanied by a single check or wire transfer;
          and

     c.   all new  participants  are added to the 403(b) plan by  submitting  an
          application on behalf of each new  participant  with the  contribution
          transmittal;

   o a trustee or fiduciary purchasing for a single trust, estate, or single
     fiduciary account (including a pension, profit-sharing, or other employee
     benefit trust created pursuant to a plan qualified under Sections 401 or
     403(b) of the Code) and 457 plans, if more than one beneficiary or
     participant is involved;

   o a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction and other Elective
     Simplified Employee Pension account (SAR-SEP) or Savings Incentive Match
     Plans for Employees IRA (SIMPLE IRA), where the employer has notified IDI
     in writing that all of its related employee SEP, SAR-SEP or SIMPLE IRA
     accounts should be linked; or

   o any other organized group of persons, whether incorporated or not,
     provided the organization has been in existence for at least six months and
     has some purpose other than the purchase at a discount of redeemable
     securities of a registered investment company.

Investors or financial intermediaries seeking to qualify orders for a reduced
initial sales charge must identify such orders and, if necessary, support their
qualification for the reduced sales charge. IDI reserves the right to determine
whether any purchaser is entitled, by virtue of the foregoing definition, to the
reduced sales charge. No person or entity may distribute Class A shares of the
INVESCO Funds without payment of the applicable sales charge other than to
persons or entities that qualify for a reduction in the sales charge as provided
herein.

1. LETTER OF INTENT (CLASS A ONLY). A Purchaser, as previously defined, may pay
reduced initial sales charges by completing the appropriate section of the
account application and by fulfilling a Letter of Intent ("LOI"). The LOI
confirms such purchaser's intention as to the total investment to be made in
shares of the Funds within the following thirteen consecutive months. By marking
the LOI section on the account application and by signing the account
application, the Purchaser indicates that he/she understands and agrees to the
terms of the LOI and is bound by the provisions described below.

Each  purchase of Fund shares  normally  subject to an initial sales charge made
during  the  thirteen-month  period  will be made at the public  offering  price
applicable to a single  transaction of the total dollar amount  indicated by the
LOI, as described  under "Sales  Charges and Dealer  Concessions."  The offering
price may be further reduced as described under "Right of  Accumulation"  if the
<PAGE>
Transfer Agent is advised of all other  accounts at the time of the  investment.
It is the  Purchaser's  responsibility  at the time of  purchase  to specify the
account numbers that should be considered in determining  the appropriate  sales
charge.  The offering price may be further reduced as described under "Rights of
Accumulation" if the Transfer Agent is advised of all other accounts at the time
of the investment. Shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital
gains  distributions  will not be  applied  to the LOI.  At any time  during the
thirteen-month  period after  meeting the original  obligation,  a Purchaser may
revise his or her intended  investment amount upward by submitting a written and
signed request. Such a revision will not change the original expiration date. By
signing  an LOI, a  Purchaser  is not making a binding  commitment  to  purchase
additional shares, but if purchases made within the thirteen-month period do not
total the amount specified, the Purchaser will pay the increased amount of sales
charge as described  below.  Purchases made within ninety days before signing an
LOI will be applied toward completion of the LOI. The LOI effective date will be
the date of the first purchase within the ninety-day  period. The Transfer Agent
will process necessary adjustments upon the expiration or completion date of the
LOI.  Purchases made more than ninety days before signing an LOI will be applied
toward  completion  of the  LOI  based  on the  value  of the  shares  purchased
calculated at the public offering price on the effective date of the LOI.

To assure compliance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, out of the initial
purchase (or subsequent purchases if necessary) the Transfer Agent will escrow
in the form of shares an appropriate dollar amount (computed to the nearest full
share). All dividends and any capital gain distributions on the escrowed shares
will be credited to the Purchaser. All shares purchased, including those
escrowed, will be registered in the Purchaser's name. If the total investment
specified under this LOI is completed within the thirteen-month period, the
escrowed shares will be promptly released. If the intended investment is not
completed, the Purchaser will pay the Transfer Agent the difference between the
sales charge on the specified amount and the amount actually purchased. If the
Purchaser does not pay such difference within twenty days of the expiration
date, he/she irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Transfer Agent as his/her
attorney to surrender for redemption any or all shares, to make up such
difference within sixty days of the expiration date.

If at any time before completing the LOI program, the Purchaser wishes to cancel
the agreement, he/she must give written notice to IDI. If at any time before
completing the LOI program the purchaser requests the Transfer Agent to
liquidate or transfer beneficial ownership of his/her total shares, a
cancellation of the LOI will automatically be effected. If the total amount
purchased is less than the amount specified in the LOI, the Transfer Agent will
redeem an appropriate number of escrowed shares equal to the difference between
the sales charge actually paid and the sales charge that would have been paid if
the total purchases had been made at a single time.

2. RIGHT OF  ACCUMULATION  (CLASS A ONLY).  A  Purchaser  may also  qualify  for
reduced initial sales charges based upon such purchaser's existing investment in
Class A shares of the Funds at the time of the proposed  purchase.  To determine
whether a reduced initial sales charge applies to a proposed purchase, IDI takes
into account not only the money which is invested upon such  proposed  purchase,
but also the value of all Class A shares of the Funds  owned by such  Purchaser,
calculated  at the  then  current  public  offering  price.  If a  Purchaser  so
qualifies for a reduced sales  charge,  the reduced sales charge  applies to the
total amount of money then being invested by such  Purchaser,  calculated at the
then current public offering price, and not just to the portion that exceeds the
breakpoint  above  which a reduced  sales  charge  applies.  For  example,  if a
Purchaser  already  owns Class A shares  with a value of  $20,000  and wishes to
invest an  additional  $20,000 in Class A shares,  with a maximum  initial sales
charge of 5.50%,  the reduced  initial  sales  charge of 5.25% will apply to the
full  $20,000  purchase  and not just to the  $15,000  in excess of the  $25,000
breakpoint.  To qualify for  obtaining  the discount  applicable to a particular
purchase,  the Purchaser or his financial  intermediary  must furnish IDI with a
list of the  account  numbers  and the  names  in  which  such  accounts  of the
Purchaser are registered at the time the purchase is made.

<PAGE>
PURCHASES AT NET ASSET VALUE (CLASS A ONLY). Purchases of Class A shares of the
Funds at net asset value (without payment of an initial sales charge) may be
made in connection with: (a) the reinvestment of dividends and distributions
from a Fund; (b) exchanges of shares of certain funds; (c) use of the
reinstatement privilege; or (d) a merger, consolidation, or acquisition of
assets of a fund.

The  following  Purchasers  will not pay initial  sales  charges on purchases of
Class A shares  because  there is a reduced  sales  effort  involved in sales to
these Purchasers:

   o INVESCO and its affiliates, or their clients;

   o Any current or retired officer, director, or employee (and members of
     their immediate family) of INVESCO, its affiliates or the INVESCO Funds and
     any foundation, trust, or employee benefit plan established exclusively for
     the benefit of, or by, such persons;

   o Sales representatives and employees (and members of their immediate
     family) of selling group members or financial institutions that have
     arrangements with such selling group members;

   o Financial  intermediaries  that place trades for their own accounts or
     the accounts of their clients and that charge a management, consulting
     or  other  fee for  their  services;  and  clients  of such  financial
     intermediaries who place trades for their own accounts if the accounts
     are linked to the master account of such financial intermediary on the
     books and records of a broker or agent;

   o Employee benefit plans designated as Purchasers as defined above, and
     non-qualified plans offered in conjunction therewith, provided the initial
     investment in the plan(s) is at least $1 million; the sponsor signs a $1
     million LOI; the employer-sponsored plan(s) has at least 100 eligible
     employees; or all plan transactions are executed through a single omnibus
     account and the financial intermediary has entered into the appropriate
     agreements with the IDI. Section 403(b) plans sponsored by public
     educational institutions are not eligible for a sales charge exception
     based on the aggregate investment made by the plan or the number of
     eligible employees. Purchases of the Funds by such plans are subject to
     initial sales charges; and

   o A shareholder of a fund that merges or consolidates with a Fund or that
     sells its assets to a Fund in exchange for shares of that Fund.

As used above,  immediate  family  includes an individual and his or her spouse,
children, parents and parents of spouse.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE EXCEPTIONS

In addition to the exceptions described in the Prospectus, CDSCs will not apply
to the following:

   o Redemptions following the death or post-purchase disability of (1) any
     registered shareholders on an account or (2) a settlor of a living trust,
     of shares held in the account at the time of death or initial determination
     of post-purchase disability;

   o Certain distributions from individual retirement accounts, Section 403(b)
     retirement plans, Section 457 deferred compensation plans and Section 401
     qualified plans, where redemptions result from (i) required minimum
     distributions to plan participants or beneficiaries who are age 70-1/2 or
     older, and only with respect to that portion of such distributions that
     does not exceed 10% annually of the participant's or beneficiary's account
     value in a Fund; (ii) in kind transfers of assets where the participant or
     beneficiary notifies IDI of the transfer not later than the
     time the transfer occurs; (iii) tax-free rollovers or transfers of assets
     to another plan of the type described above invested in Class A, Class B,
     C, or Class K shares of a Fund; (iv) tax-free returns of excess
     contributions or returns of excess deferral amounts; and (v) distributions
     on the death or disability (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of
     1986, as amended) of the participant or beneficiary;
<PAGE>
   o Liquidation by a Fund when the account value falls below the minimum
     required account size;

   o Investment account(s) of INVESCO; and

   o Class C shares if the investor's financial intermediary notifies IDI prior
     to the time of investment that the financial intermediary waives the
     payment otherwise payable to it.

Upon the  redemption  of Class A shares  purchased  in  amounts of $1 million or
more, no CDSC will be applied in the following situations:


   o Redemptions from employee benefit plans designated as qualified
     purchasers, as defined above, where the redemptions are in connection with
     employee terminations or withdrawals, provided the total amount invested in
     the plan is at least $1,000,000; the sponsor signs a $1 million LOI; or the
     employer-sponsored plan has at least 100 eligible employees; provided,
     however, that 403(b) plans sponsored by public educational institutions
     shall qualify for the CDSC waiver on the basis of the value of each plan
     participant's aggregate investment in a Fund, and not on the aggregate
     investment made by the plan or on the number of eligible employees;

   o Private foundations or endowment funds;

   o Redemption of shares by the investor where the investor's financial
     intermediary waives the amounts otherwise payable to it by the IDI and
     notifies the IDI prior to the time of investment; and



HOW TO PURCHASE AND REDEEM SHARES

A  complete  description  of the  manner  by which  shares  of the  Funds may be
purchased appears in the Prospectus under the caption "How To Buy Shares."

The sales charge  normally  deducted on purchases of Class A shares of the Funds
is used to compensate IDI and participating  financial  intermediaries for their
expenses  incurred in connection  with the  distribution  of such shares.  Since
there is little expense  associated with unsolicited orders placed directly with
IDI by persons, who because of their relationship with the Funds or with INVESCO
and its affiliates,  are familiar with the Funds, or whose programs for purchase
involve  little  expense  (e.g.,  because  of the  size of the  transaction  and
shareholder  records  required),  IDI believes that it is appropriate and in the
Funds' best  interests that such persons be permitted to purchase Class A shares
of the Funds through IDI without payment of a sales charge.  The persons who may
purchase  Class A shares of the Funds without a sales charge are set forth under
the  Caption  "Reductions  in Initial  Sales  Charges -  Purchases  at Net Asset
Value."

The following formula may be used by an investor to determine the public
offering price per Class A share of an investment:

  Net Asset Value / (1 - Sales Charge as % of Offering Price) = Offering Price

Information  concerning  redemption  of a  Fund's  shares  is set  forth  in the
Prospectus  under the caption "How To Sell  Shares."  Shares of the Funds may be
redeemed  directly  through IDI or through any  financial  intermediary  who has
entered  into an  agreement  with IDI. In addition to the Funds'  obligation  to
redeem  shares,  IDI may  also  repurchase  shares  as an  accommodation  to the
shareholders.  To effect a repurchase,  those financial  intermediaries who have
executed agreements with IDI must phone orders to the order desk of the Funds at
1-800-525-8085 and guarantee delivery of all required documents in good order. A
repurchase is effected at the net asset value of each Fund next determined after
such order is received.  Such arrangement is subject to timely receipt by IDI of
all required  documents in good order. If such documents are not received within
a  reasonable  time  after  the  order  is  placed,  the  order  is  subject  to
cancellation.  While  there is no charge  imposed  by the Funds or by IDI (other
than any applicable CDSC or possible redemption fee) when shares are redeemed or
repurchased, financial intermediaries may charge a fair service fee for handling
the transaction. INVESCO intends to redeem all shares of the Funds in cash.

<PAGE>
The right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when
(a) trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is restricted, as determined
by applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other
than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order permitted
such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making
disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation of the net assets of a Fund
not reasonably practicable.

OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 1670 Broadway, Suite 1000, Denver, Colorado, are the
independent accountants of the Company. The independent accountants are
responsible for auditing the financial statements of the Funds.

CUSTODIAN

State Street Bank and Trust Company, P.O. Box 351, Boston, Massachusetts, is the
custodian of the cash and investment securities of the Company. The custodian is
also responsible for, among other things, receipt and delivery of each Fund's
investment securities in accordance with procedures and conditions specified in
the custody agreement with the Company. The custodian is authorized to establish
separate accounts in foreign countries and to cause foreign securities owned by
the Funds to be held outside the United States in branches of U.S. banks and, to
the extent permitted by applicable regulations, in certain foreign banks and
securities depositories.

TRANSFER AGENT

INVESCO, 4350 South Monaco Street, Denver, Colorado, is the Company's transfer
agent, registrar, and dividend disbursing agent. Services provided by INVESCO
include the issuance, cancellation, and transfer of shares of the Funds, and the
maintenance of records regarding the ownership of such shares.

LEGAL COUNSEL

The firm of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP, 1800 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., 2nd
Floor, Washington, D.C., is legal counsel for the Company. The firm of Moye,
Giles, O'Keefe, Vermeire & Gorrell LLP, 1225 17th Street, Suite 2900, Denver,
Colorado, acts as special counsel to the Company.

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES

Each Fund has authorized one or more brokers to accept purchase and redemption
orders on its behalf and such brokers are authorized to designate other
intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on a Fund's behalf. Each
Fund will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an
authorized broker or, if applicable, a broker's authorized designee, accepts the
order. Orders will be priced at a Fund's net asset value next computed after
they are accepted by an authorized broker or the broker's authorized designee.

As the investment advisor to the Funds, INVESCO places orders for the purchase
and sale of securities with broker-dealers based upon an evaluation of the
financial responsibility of the broker-dealers and the ability of the
broker-dealers to effect transactions at the best available prices.

While INVESCO seeks reasonably competitive commission rates, the Funds do not
necessarily pay the lowest commission or spread available. INVESCO is permitted
to, and does, consider qualitative factors in addition to price in the selection
of brokers. Among other things, INVESCO considers the quality of executions
obtained on a Fund's portfolio transactions, viewed in terms of the size of
transactions, prevailing market conditions in the security purchased or sold,
and general economic and market conditions. INVESCO has found that a broker's
consistent ability to execute transactions is at least as important as the price
the broker charges for those services.
<PAGE>
In seeking to ensure that the commissions charged a Fund are consistent with
prevailing and reasonable commissions, INVESCO monitors brokerage industry
practices and commissions charged by broker-dealers on transactions effected for
other institutional investors like the Funds.

Consistent with the standard of seeking to obtain favorable execution on
portfolio transactions, INVESCO may select brokers that provide research
services to INVESCO and the Company, as well as other INVESCO mutual funds and
other accounts managed by INVESCO. Research services include statistical and
analytical reports relating to issuers, industries, securities and economic
factors and trends, which may be of assistance or value to INVESCO in making
informed investment decisions. Research services prepared and furnished by
brokers through which a Fund effects securities transactions may be used by
INVESCO in servicing all of its accounts and not all such services may be used
by INVESCO in connection with a particular Fund. Conversely, a Fund receives
benefits of research acquired through the brokerage transactions of other
clients of INVESCO.

In order to obtain reliable trade execution and research services, INVESCO may
utilize brokers that charge higher commissions than other brokers would charge
for the same transaction. This practice is known as "paying up." However, even
when paying up, INVESCO is obligated to obtain favorable execution of a Fund's
transactions.

Portfolio transactions also may be effected through broker-dealers that
recommend the Funds to their clients, or that act as agent in the purchase of a
Fund's shares for their clients. When a number of broker-dealers can provide
comparable best price and execution on a particular transaction, INVESCO may
consider the sale of a Fund's shares by a broker-dealer in selecting among
qualified broker-dealers.

Certain of the INVESCO Funds utilize fund brokerage commissions to pay custody
fees for each respective fund. This program requires that the participating
funds receive favorable execution.

paid by each Fund for the periods outlined in the table below were:

dollar amount of such portfolio transactions was $12,956,460,  $36,536,238,  and
$64,729,441,  respectively.  Commissions  totaling  $0,  $19,215,  and  $0  were
allocated  to certain  brokers in  recognition  of their  sales of shares of the

A share of each class of a Fund represents an identical  interest in that Fund's
investment  portfolio  and has the same  rights,  privileges,  and  preferences.
However,  each  class  may  differ  with  respect  to  sales  charges,  if  any,
distribution  and/or service fees, if any, other expenses allocable  exclusively
to each class,  voting rights on matters  exclusively  affecting that class, and
its exchange  privilege,  if any. The different sales charges and other expenses
applicable  to the  different  classes  of shares of the Funds  will  affect the
performance  of those  classes.  Each share of a Fund is entitled to participate
equally in dividends for that class, other distributions and the proceeds of any
liquidation of a class of that Fund.  However,  due to the differing expenses of
the classes, dividends and liquidation proceeds on Investor Class, Class A, B, C
and K shares will differ.  All shares of a Fund will be voted  together,  except
that only the  shareholders of a particular  class of a Fund may vote on matters
exclusively  affecting that class,  such as the terms of a Rule 12b-1 Plan as it
relates to the class.  All shares  issued and  outstanding  are,  and all shares
offered hereby when issued will be, fully paid and  nonassessable.  The board of
directors  has the  authority  to designate  additional  classes of common stock
without seeking the approval of shareholders and may classify and reclassify any
authorized but unissued shares.
<PAGE>
Shares have no  preemptive  rights and are freely  transferable  on the books of
each Fund.

All shares of the Company  have equal  voting  rights based on one vote for each
share owned.  The Company is not generally  required and does not expect to hold
regular annual  meetings of  shareholders.  However,  when requested to do so in
writing by the holders of 10% or more of the  outstanding  shares of the Company
or  as  may  be  required  by  applicable  law  or  the  Company's  Articles  of
Incorporation,   the  board  of  directors   will  call   special   meetings  of
shareholders.

Directors  may  be  removed  by  action  of the  holders  of a  majority  of the
outstanding  shares  of the  Company.  The Funds  will  assist  shareholders  in
communicating with other shareholders as required by the 1940 Act.

Fund shares have noncumulative  voting rights, which means that the holders of a
majority of the shares of the Company  voting for the  election of  directors of
the  Company  can elect 100% of the  directors  if they choose to do so. If that
occurs, the holders of the remaining shares voting for the election of directors
will not be able to elect any  person  or  persons  to the  board of  directors.
Directors  may  be  removed  by  action  of the  holders  of a  majority  of the
outstanding shares of the Company.

TAX CONSEQUENCES OF OWNING SHARES OF A FUND

Each Fund intends to continue to conduct its business and satisfy the applicable
diversification of assets,  distribution,  and source of income  requirements to
qualify as a regulated  investment  company  under  Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Fund qualified as a regulated investment
company and intends to continue to qualify during its current fiscal year. It is
the policy of each Fund to distribute all investment company taxable income, net
tax-exempt  income and net  capital  gains.  As a result of this  policy and the
Funds' qualification as regulated investment  companies,  it is anticipated that
none of the Funds will pay  federal  income or excise  taxes and that all of the
Funds will be accorded  conduit or "pass  through"  treatment for federal income
tax purposes.  Therefore, any taxes that a Fund would ordinarily owe are paid by
its  shareholders  on a pro-rata basis. If a Fund does not distribute all of its
net  investment  income or net capital  gains,  it will be subject to income and
excise taxes on the amount that is not  distributed.  If a Fund does not qualify
as a regulated  investment  company,  it will be subject to income tax on all of
its net investment income and net capital gains at the corporate tax rates.

Dividends paid by a Fund from net investment  income as well as distributions of
net  realized  short-term  capital  gains and net  realized  gains from  certain
foreign  currency  transactions  are taxable for federal  income tax purposes as
ordinary income to shareholders.  After the end of each calendar year, the Funds
send  shareholders  information  regarding the amount and character of dividends
paid in the year,  including the  percentage of  distributions  paid by Tax-Free
Bond Fund which are exempt from Federal tax and the  dividends  eligible for the
dividends-received  deduction  for  corporations.  Dividends  eligible  for  the
dividends-received  deduction  will  be  limited  to  the  aggregate  amount  of
qualifying dividends that a Fund derives from its portfolio investments.

A Fund  realizes a capital  gain or loss when it sells a portfolio  security for
more or less  than it paid for that  security.  Capital  gains  and  losses  are
divided into  short-term and long-term,  depending on how long the Fund held the
security  which gave rise to the gain or loss. If the security was held one year
or less the gain or loss is considered short-term,  while holding a security for
more  than one year will  generate  a  long-term  gain or loss.  A capital  gain
distribution  consists of long-term capital gains which are taxed at the capital
gains rate. Short-term capital gains are included with income from dividends and
interest  as  ordinary  income and are paid to  shareholders  as  dividends,  as
discussed  above.  If total  long-term  gains on sales exceed  total  short-term
<PAGE>
losses,  including any losses carried  forward from previous  years, a Fund will
have a net capital gain.  Distributions  by a Fund of net capital gains are, for
federal income tax purposes,  taxable to the shareholder as a long-term  capital
gain  regardless  of how long a  shareholder  has held shares of the  particular
Fund. Such distributions are not eligible for the dividends-received  deduction.
After the end of each calendar year, the Funds send  information to shareholders
regarding the amount and character of distributions paid during the year.

With the  exception of  tax-exempt  dividends  paid by Tax-Free  Bond Fund,  all
dividends  and  other  distributions  are  taxable  income  to the  shareholder,
regardless  of whether  such  dividends  and  distributions  are  reinvested  in
additional  shares or paid in cash.  If the net asset  value of a Fund's  shares
should be reduced below a shareholder's cost as a result of a distribution, such
distribution  would be taxable to the shareholder  although a portion would be a
return of invested  capital.  The net asset  value of shares of a Fund  reflects
accrued net investment  income and  undistributed  realized  capital and foreign
currency gains; therefore,  when a distribution is declared, the net asset value
is reduced by the amount of the distribution.  If shares of a Fund are purchased
shortly  before a  distribution,  the full price for the shares will be paid and
some portion of the price may then be returned to the  shareholder  as a taxable
dividend or capital gain. However, the net asset value per share will be reduced
by the amount of the distribution.  If a shareholder  reinvests the distribution
in a Fund,  the  shareholder's  basis in the Fund increases by the amount of the
distribution  and the  value  of the  Fund's  investments  is  unchanged  by the
distribution.

If it invests in foreign securities, a Fund may be subject to the withholding of
foreign  taxes on  dividends  or interest  it  receives  on foreign  securities.
Foreign taxes withheld will be treated as an expense of the Fund unless the Fund
meets the qualifications and makes the election to enable it to pass these taxes
through to  shareholders  for use by them as a foreign tax credit or  deduction.
Tax conventions  between  certain  countries and the United States may reduce or
eliminate such taxes.

Gains or losses (1) from the  disposition  of foreign  currencies,  (2) from the
disposition  of debt  securities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  that are
attributable to fluctuations  in the value of the foreign  currency  between the
date of acquisition of each security and the date of  disposition,  and (3) that
are attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates that occur between the time a
Fund accrues  interest,  dividends or other  receivables or accrues  expenses or
other  liabilities  denominated  in a  foreign  currency  and the  time the Fund
actually  collects the  receivables or pays the  liabilities,  generally will be
treated  as  ordinary  income or loss.  These  gains or losses may  increase  or
decrease  the  amount  of a  Fund's  investment  company  taxable  income  to be
distributed to its shareholders.

INVESCO may provide Fund  shareholders  with information  concerning the average
cost basis of their shares in order to help them prepare their tax returns. This
information  is  intended  as a  convenience  to  shareholders  and  will not be
reported to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). The IRS permits the use of
several  methods to  determine  the cost basis of mutual fund  shares.  The cost
basis information provided by INVESCO will be computed using the single-category
average  cost  method,  although  neither  INVESCO nor the Funds  recommend  any
particular  method of  determining  cost  basis.  Other  methods  may  result in
different tax consequences. Even if you have reported gains or losses for a Fund
in past years using  another  basis  method,  you may be able to use the average
cost method for determining gains or losses in the current year.  However,  once
you have  elected to use the average cost  method,  you must  continue to use it
unless you apply to the IRS for permission to change methods. Likewise, changing
to any basis method other than the average method requires IRS approval.

If you sell Fund  shares at a loss  after  holding  them for six months or less,
your loss will be treated as long-term  (instead of short-term)  capital loss to
the extent of any capital gain distributions that you may have received on those
<PAGE>
shares.  Similarly, if you sell Fund shares at a loss after holding them for six
months or less,  your  loss  will be  disallowed  to the  extent  of any  exempt
interest  dividends  that you may have  received on those  shares.  If you pay a
sales charge to acquire shares,  that sales charge is generally  treated as part
of your  cost  basis for  determining  gain or loss  upon  disposition  of those
shares.  However,  if you exchange your shares within ninety days of acquisition
and the sales  charge on the new shares is waived  because the sales  charge was
paid on the  original  shares,  then the sales  charge is not treated as part of
your cost basis on the original  shares but instead  carries over to be included
as part of your cost basis in the new or replacement shares.

Each Fund will be  subject  to a  nondeductible  4% excise  tax to the extent it
fails to  distribute by the end of any calendar  year  substantially  all of its
ordinary  income for that year and its net capital gains for the one-year period
ending on October 31 of that year, plus certain other amounts.

Tax-Free Bond Fund intends to qualify to pay "exempt-interest  dividends" to its
shareholders.  The Fund will so qualify if at least 50% of its total  assets are
invested  in  municipal  securities  at the close of each  quarter of the Fund's
fiscal year. The exempt interest  portion of the income dividend that is payable
monthly  may be based on the ratio of the  Fund's  tax-exempt  income to taxable
income for the entire  taxable year. In such case, the ratio would be determined
and reported to  shareholders  after the close of each taxable year.  Thus,  the
exempt-interest  portion  of any  particular  dividend  may be  based  upon  the
tax-exempt  portion of all  distributions for the taxable year, rather than upon
the tax-exempt portion of that particular dividend. Exemption of exempt-interest
dividends  for  federal  income  tax  purposes  does not  necessarily  result in
exemption  under  the  income  or other  tax laws of any  state or local  taxing
authority.  Although these dividends generally may be subject to state and local
income taxes,  the laws of the several states and local taxing  authorities vary
with respect to the taxation of exempt-interest dividends, taxable dividends and
distributions of capital gains.

A corporation includes exempt-interest  dividends in calculating its alternative
taxable  income in  situations  where the  "adjusted  current  earnings"  of the
corporation exceed its alternative minimum taxable income.

AMT bonds are "private  activity  bonds" issued after August 1986;  the proceeds
are directed in full or in part to private, for-profit organizations. The income
from AMT bonds is exempt  from  federal  income  tax but may be  subject  to the
alternative  minimum tax -- a special  tax that  applies to  taxpayers  who have
certain adjustments to income or tax preference items.

Entities  or  persons  who  are  "substantial  users"  (or  persons  related  to
"substantial  users")  of  facilities  financed  by  private  activity  bonds or
individual development bonds should consult their tax advisers before purchasing
shares  of the Fund  because,  for users of  certain  of these  facilities,  the
interest  on those  bonds is not  exempt  from  federal  income  tax.  For these
purposes,  the term  "substantial  user"  is  defined  generally  to  include  a
"non-exempt person" who regularly uses in trade or business a part of a facility
financed from the proceeds of such bonds.

Up to 85% of social security and railroad retirement benefits may be included in
taxable income for recipients whose adjusted gross income (including income from
tax-exempt  sources  such as a mutual  fund) plus 50% of their  benefits  exceed
certain  base  amounts.  Exempt-interest  dividends  from  the  Fund  still  are
tax-exempt  to the  extent  described  above - they  are  only  included  in the
calculation of whether a recipient's income exceeds the established amounts.

You should  consult  your own tax adviser  regarding  specific  questions  as to
federal,  state, and local taxes.  Dividends and capital gain distributions will
generally be subject to  applicable  state and local taxes.  Qualification  as a
regulated  investment  company  under  the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended,  for income tax  purposes  does not entail  government  supervision  of
management or investment policies.

PERFORMANCE

To keep shareholders and potential investors informed, INVESCO will occasionally
advertise  the Funds' total  return for one-,  five-,  and ten-year  periods (or
since  inception).  Most  advertisements  of the Funds will disclose the maximum
front-end  sales charge  imposed on purchases of a Fund's Class A shares  and/or
the  applicable  CDSC imposed on applicable  redemptions of a Fund's Class B and
Class C shares. If any advertised  performance data does not reflect the maximum
front-end sales charge (if any) or the applicable CDSC, such  advertisement will
disclose  that the sales charge or CDSC has not been  deducted in computing  the
performance  data,  and that,  if  reflected,  such  charges  would  reduce  the
performance quoted.

Each Fund's total return is calculated in accordance with a standardized formula
for computation of annualized total return.  Standardized total return for Class
A shares  reflects the  deduction of the maximum  front-end  sales charge at the
time of  purchase.  Standardized  total  return  for  Class B and Class C shares
reflects the deduction of the maximum  applicable CDSC on a redemption of shares
held for the  period.  A 1% - 5% CDSC may be charged on  redemptions  of Class B
shares held six years or less, other than shares acquired  through  reinvestment
of dividends and other distributions. A 1% CDSC may be charged on redemptions of
Class C shares held thirteen months or less,  other than shares acquired through
reinvestment  of  dividends  and other  distributions.  Please  see the  section
entitled "Distributor" for additional information on CDSCs. Total returns quoted
in advertising reflect all aspects of the Fund's return, including the effect of
reinvesting  dividends  and capital  gain  distributions,  and any change in the
Fund's net asset value per share over the  period.  Average  annual  returns are
calculated  by  determining  the growth or  decline  in value of a  hypothetical
investment in a Fund over a stated  period,  and then  calculating  the annually
compounded  percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate
of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. Because average
annual returns tend to even out variations in a Fund's returns, investors should
realize that the Fund's  performance is not constant over time, but changes from
year to year,  and that  average  annual  returns  do not  represent  the actual
year-to-year performance of the Fund.

In addition to average annual returns, a Fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative
total returns  reflecting  the simple  change in value of an  investment  over a
stated  period.  Cumulative  total  return shows the actual rate of return on an
investment  for the period cited;  average  annual total return  represents  the
average annual percentage change in the value of an investment.  Both cumulative
and average annual total returns tend to "smooth out"  fluctuations  in a Fund's
investment  results,  because  they  do  not  show  the  interim  variations  in
performance over the periods cited.  Total returns may be quoted with or without
taking a Fund's maximum  applicable Class A front-end sales charge or Class B or
Class  C  CDSC  into  account.  Excluding  sales  charges  from a  total  return
calculation produces a higher total return figure.

We may also  advertise  High  Yield,  Select  Income,  Tax-Free  Bond,  and U.S.
Government  Securities Funds' "30-day SEC yield." "30-day SEC yield" is based on
historical  earnings and is not  intended to indicate  future  performance.  The
"30-day SEC yield" of a Fund refers to the income  generated by an investment in
the  Fund  over  a  30-day   period   (which   period  will  be  stated  in  the
advertisement).  This income is then "annualized." That is, the amount of income
generated by the  investment  during that period is assumed to be generated each
30-day  period  over a  52-week  period  and is  shown  as a  percentage  of the
investment.

(1) Since inception on April 1, 2002.  Since inception performance is not
annualized.

(2) Since inception on February 15, 2000.

(3) Since inception on December 14, 2000.

Average annual total return  performance  for each of the periods  indicated was
computed  by finding the average  annual  compounded  rates of return that would
equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value,  according to
the following formula:
                                         n
                                 P(1 + T) = ERV

where:      P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
            T = average annual total return
            n = number of years
            ERV = ending redeemable value of initial payment

Average  annual  total return  after taxes on  distributions  and after taxes on
distributions  and sale of Fund shares is computed by finding the average annual
compounded  rates of return that would equate the initial amount invested to the
ending value, according to the following formula:

After taxes on distributions:
                                n
                        P(1 + T) =ATV
                                     D

where:      P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
            T = average annual total return (after taxes on distributions)
            n = number of years
            ATV
               D = ending value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the
            beginning of the 1-, 5-, or 10-year periods at the end of the 1-,
            5-, or 10-year periods (or fractional portion) after taxes on fund
            distributions but not after taxes on redemption.

After taxes on distributions and redemption:

                                n
                        P(1 + T) =ATV
                                     DR

where:      P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
            T = average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and
            redemption) n = number of years
            ATV
               DR = ending value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the
            beginning of the 1-, 5-, or 10-year periods at the end of the 1-,
            5-, or 10-year periods (or fractional portion) after taxes on fund
            distributions and redemptions.
            ERV = ending redeemable value of initial payment

The average annual total return performance  figures shown above were determined
by solving the above formula for "T" for each time period indicated.

APPENDIX A

BOND RATINGS

The following is a description of Moody's and S&P's bond ratings:

MOODY'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS

Aaa - Bonds  rated Aaa are  judged  to be of the best  quality.  They  carry the
smallest   degree  of  investment   risk  and  are  generally   referred  to  as
"gilt-edged."  Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin, and principal is secure.  While the various  protective  elements
are likely to change,  such changes as can be  visualized  are most  unlikely to
impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa - Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.  Together
with the Aaa group,  they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds.
They are rated lower than the best bonds because  margins of protection  may not
be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater  amplitude or there may be other  elements  present  which make the long
term risk appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

A - Bonds rated A possess many favorable  investment  attributes,  and are to be
considered  as upper  medium  grade  obligations.  Factors  giving  security  to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa - Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are
neither highly  protected nor poorly  secured.  Interest  payments and principal
security appear adequate for the present but certain protective  elements may be
lacking or may be  characteristically  unreliable over any great length of time.
Such  bonds  lack  outstanding  investment  characteristics  and  in  fact  have
speculative characteristics as well.

Ba - Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements. Their future cannot
be considered as well  assured.  Often the  protection of interest and principal
payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded  during both good
and bad times over the future.  Uncertainty of position  characterizes  bonds in
this class.

B - Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable investment.
Assurance of interest and principal payments or maintenance of other terms of
the contract over any longer period of time may be small.

Caa - Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default or
there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.
<PAGE>
S&P CORPORATE BOND RATINGS

AAA - This is the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's to a debt
obligation and indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and
interest.

AA - Bonds rated AA also qualify as high-quality debt obligations. Capacity to
pay principal and interest is very strong, and in the majority of instances they
differ from AAA issues only in small degree.

A - Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest, although
they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than bonds in higher rated categories.

BBB - Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capability to pay
principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in
this category than for bonds in higher rated categories.

BB - Bonds rated BB have less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues. However, they face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure
to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to
inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.

B - Bonds rated B have a greater vulnerability to default but currently have the
capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse business,
financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or willingness to
pay interest and repay principal.

CCC - Bonds rated CCC have a currently identifiable vulnerability to default and
are dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to
meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. In the event of
adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, they are not likely to have
the capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
