The complete application may be obtained for a fee at the SEC's Public Reference Branch. 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 January 19, 1978, 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 March 6, 1978, and applicant's initial public offering commenced on March 30, 1978. 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 purpose of the Plan was to reorganize applicant from a stand-alone investment company incorporated in Maryland to a portfolio of a multiple portfolio investment company organized as a Delaware business trust, which management believes in the long run will result in more efficient operation. In accordance with rule 17a-8 under the Act, applicant's board of directors determined that the sale of applicant's assets to the AIM Balanced Fund Portfolio (the ``Balanced Portfolio'') of AIM Funds Group, 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 Balanced Portfolio in exchange for Class A shares of the Balanced 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 has 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. [FR. Doc. 94-7285 Filed 3-28-94; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 8010-01-M
