Applicant's Representations

    1. Applicant is an open-end management investment company that was 
organized as a business trust under the laws of Maryland. On July 12, 
1977, applicant registered under the Act as an investment company and 
filed a registration statement to register its shares under the 
Securities Act of 1933. The registration statement was declared 
effective on September 2, 1977, and applicant's initial public offering 
commenced on September 29, 1977.
    2. Applicant's board of directors approved an agreement and plan of 
reorganization (the ``Plan'') at meetings of the board held on July 19, 
1993 and September 11, 1993. The board determined that a combination of 
applicant with the AIM High Yield Fund portfolio (the ``High Yield 
Portfolio'') of AIM Funds Group, would provide economies of scale that 
would benefit its shareholders by providing them with a larger 
portfolio of securities and reducing the cost per share of providing 
certain legal, accounting and shareholder services. In accordance with 
rule 17a-8 of the Act, applicant's board of directors determined that 
the sale of applicant's assets to the High Yield Portfolio was in the 
best interests of applicant, and that the interests of applicant's 
existing shareholders would not be diluted as a result.
    3. On September 1, 1993, applicant mailed proxy materials to its 
shareholders. At a special meeting held on September 27, 1993, 
applicant's shareholders approved the reorganization.
    4. Pursuant to the Plan, applicant transferred all of its assets 
and liabilities to the High Yield Portfolio in exchange for Class A 
shares of the High Yield Portfolio with an aggregate net asset value 
equal to the aggregate net assets of applicant. The Class A shares then 
were issued to the shareholders of applicant.
    5. On October 15, 1993, applicant filed articles of transfer with 
the State of Maryland. Applicant is in the process of preparing 
articles of dissolution to be filed with the State of Maryland.
    6. All expenses incurred in connection with the transaction have 
been assumed and paid by applicant. No brokerage commissions were paid 
in connection with the transaction.
    7. Applicant had no assets and no debts remaining, and is not a 
party to any litigation or administration proceeding. Applicant has no 
securityholders at the time of filing of the application.
    8. Applicant is not now engaged, nor does it propose to engage, in 
any business activity other than that necessary to wind-up its affairs.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
