Market Update and Outlook

Despite the recent troubles in the global stock markets, it has been relatively
quiet in the money markets so far this year. The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed")
has stayed patient and has kept its monetary policy relatively unchanged. The
Fed's hands-off approach has helped the U.S. economy to grow moderately while
inflation remains subdued. The Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC"), a key
committee that sets short-term monetary policy for the Fed, last raised interest
rates in late March 1997. Since then, both long- and short-term interest rates
have traded in a narrow range and investors who were long and fully invested
have been rewarded.


- ----------
*    The seven-day effective yield is calculated similarly to the seven-day
     yield but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in the
     Portfolio or the Class is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield
     will be slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of
     the assumed reinvestment.

Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan recently testified before the Joint Economic
Committee of Congress where he discussed the financial turmoil in Asia and its
possible effects on the U.S. markets. As a result of events in Asia, Greenspan
expects some slowing in U.S. economic growth. In addition, the Fed Chairman
reiterated many points that we have raised throughout the year: namely, that
inflation remains low, labor markets are tight and labor productivity continues
to improve. Greenspan also stated that the U.S. stock market drop of late
October was salutary for the U.S. economy because it could possibly dampen
consumer demand and bring stock valuations back down from their lofty levels.

The U.S. economy is still growing strong. In our view, the key to prolonging the
current expansion is low inflation. However, we have seen a slight pick-up in
labor costs recently. The employment cost index increased 0.8% in the third
quarter, and is running at a 3.0% for the twelve months ended September 1997
versus 2.8% for the comparable period in 1996.

We think that the Asian market crisis should help to keep inflation low.
However, the degree to which it slows the capital spending of U.S. corporations
remains an open question. Weak demand in Asia and a stronger U.S. dollar will
have some modest (although negative) effect on U.S. economic growth in 1998. The
Fed will most likely wait to see the impact of all these events before making
any changes to its monetary policy.

While the outcome of the Asian crisis is still unknown, U.S. leaders, the
International Monetary Fund and the Asian countries involved are working
together to establish reforms that will assist them in stabilizing their
economies. The Asian crisis will put downward pressure on prices of goods as
Korea and Indonesia export goods to the U.S., at cheaper prices. This will keep
prices of U.S. goods low or even reduce prices in order to remain competitive.

This is not a destabilizing force as Chairman Greenspan reiterated in his speech
in early January. He distinguishes between a decline in specific goods price
such as computers, as opposed to sharply sliding real estate and stock prices,
which could cause a deflationary spiral. Chairman Greenspan sees little risk of
deflation because economic growth and consumer demand in the U.S. remain strong.

Investment Strategy

The yield curve remains fairly flat and over the next several months we expect
relatively little interest rate volatility. (The yield curve shows the
difference between short- and long-term yields.) We will continue to invest
across the yield curve if and when we identify good value. We will target the
average maturity for the Cash Portfolio, Government Portfolio and Retirement
Portfolio at 80 days, 70 days and 65 days, respectively.

As you have probably read in various financial papers, major U.S. banks,
brokerage firms and multinational corporations have exposure to Asia. However,
these companies have had several years of excellent profitability and reserve
building among the issuers we purchase for the Portfolios.

We are not anticipating major downgradings in the ratings of any of our issuers.
The Japanese banking system remains in turmoil with major downgradings and some
bankruptcies occurring. Spreads between top European bank certificates of
deposits ("CDs") and Japanese bank CDs have widened by as much as 100 basis
points (1.00%) and are now currently 60 basis points (0.60%). We currently hold
no Japanese bank exposure in the Portfolios.

On a more somber note, we are saddened by the loss of an outstanding physician
and Director of the Fund, Dr. Francis P. Martin. His knowledge and wisdom will
be missed.

In closing, thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Money Funds, Inc. We
look forward to continuing to help you pursue your financial goals.

Sincerely,


/s/ Heath B. McLendon                           /s/ Phyllis M. Zahorodny

Notes to Financial Statements
================================================================================

     1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Smith Barney Money Funds, Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland corporation, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund consists of three
separate investment portfolios ("Portfolios"): the Cash Portfolio, the
Government Portfolio and the Retirement Portfolio.

     The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are:
(a) transactions in money market instruments and government obligations are
accounted for on trade date; (b) the Fund uses the amortized cost method for
valuing investments; accordingly, the cost of securities plus accreted discount,
or minus amortized premium, which approximates value; (c) interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis; (d) direct expenses are charged to each Portfolio
and each class; management fees and general fund expenses are allocated on the
basis of relative net assets; (e) gains or losses on the sale of securities are
calculated by using the specific identification method; (f) the Portfolios
intend to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make
distributions of taxable income sufficient to be relieved from substantially all
Federal income and excise taxes; and (g) estimates and assumptions are required
to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting
from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic
environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining
these estimates could cause actual results to differ.

     2.   DIVIDENDS

     Each Portfolio declares and records a dividend of substantially all of its
net investment income on each business day. Such dividends are paid or
reinvested monthly in each respective Portfolio's shares on the payable date.

     3.   MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

     Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), formerly known as Smith Barney Mutual
Funds Management Inc., a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings, Inc.
("SSBH"), acts as investment manager to the Fund. As compensation for its
services, each Portfolio pays MMC a daily fee calculated at the following rates:
Cash Portfolio: 0.45% on the first $6.0 billion of average daily net assets,
0.425% on the next $6.0 billion, 0.40% on the next $6.0 billion

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
================================================================================
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
================================================================================

and 0.35% on the average daily net assets in excess of $18.0 billion; Government
Portfolio: 0.45% on the first $2.5 billion of the average daily net assets,
0.40% on the next $2.5 billion and 0.35% on average daily net assets in excess
of $5.0 billion; and Retirement Portfolio: 0.45% on the first $1.0 billion of
average daily net assets, 0.40% on the next $1.0 billion and 0.35% on average
daily net assets in excess of $2.0 billion. These fees are calculated daily and
paid monthly.

     Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, each Portfolio makes payments to Smith
Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, for assistance in distributing
Class A and C shares, calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net
assets of each class, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1997, total
Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

     All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of SB.

     4.   CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD

     At December 31, 1997, the Cash Portfolio had, for Federal tax purposes,
approximately $1,344,000 of capital loss carryforwards available to offset
future capital gains. To the extent that these carryforward losses are used to
offset capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be
distributed. The amount and expiration of the carryforwards are indicated below.
Expiration occurs on December 31 of the year indicated:

     5.   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     The Fund purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S. government
securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to resell the
securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next business day) at
an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Fund requires continual maintenance
of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the
repurchase price.

Independent Auditors' Report
================================================================================

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
The Smith Barney Money Funds, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of Smith Barney Money Funds, Inc.
(comprising of the Cash, Government and Retirement Portfolios) as of December
31, 1997, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period
then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year
period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1997, by correspondence with the custodian. As to securities
purchased but not received, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the respective portfolios constituting Smith Barney Money Funds, Inc. as
of December 31, 1997, the results of their operations for the year then ended,
the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period
then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year
period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
