PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the SAI. Cross references in
this summary are to headings in the Prospectus. See "Table of Contents."
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund is an open-end, diversified, management invest-
ment company whose investment objective is to maximize current interest income
which is excluded from gross income for regular Federal income tax purposes to
the extent consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of
capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a profession-
ally managed portfolio consisting principally of intermediate- and long-term
municipal securities issued by state or municipal governments and by public
authorities ("Municipal Bonds"). Intermediate- and long-term municipal securi-
ties have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of between three to in
excess of twenty years. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest
at least 80% of its total assets in such obligations. See "Investment Objec-
tive and Management Policies."
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS The Fund offers several classes of shares
("Classes") to investors designed to provide them with the flexibility of
selecting an investment best suited to their needs. The general public is
offered three Classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class L
shares, which differ principally in terms of sales charges and rates of
expenses to which they are subject. A fourth Class of shares, Class Y shares,
is offered only to investors meeting an initial investment minimum of
$15,000,000. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares."
Class A Shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial
sales charge of up to 4.00% and are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15%
of the average daily net assets of the Class. The initial sales charge may be
reduced or waived for certain purchases. Purchases of Class A shares of
$500,000 or more will be made at net asset value with no initial sales charge,
but will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. See "Prospectus Summary--
Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge."
Class B Shares. Class B shares are offered at net asset value subject to a
maximum CDSC of 4.50% of redemption proceeds, declining by 0.50% the first
year after purchase and by 1.00% each year thereafter to zero. This CDSC may
be waived for certain redemptions. Class B shares are subject to an annual
service fee of 0.15% and an annual distribution fee of 0.50% of the average
daily net assets of the Class. The Class B shares' distribution fee may cause
that Class to have higher expenses and pay lower dividends than Class A
shares.
Class B Shares Conversion Feature. Class B shares will convert automatically
to Class A shares, based on relative net asset value, eight years after the
date of the
3
<PAGE>
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
original purchase. Upon conversion, these shares will no longer be subject to
an annual distribution fee. In addition, a certain portion of Class B shares
that have been acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distribu-
tions ("Class B Dividend Shares") will be converted at that time. See "Pur-
chase of Shares--Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."
Class L Shares. Class L shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial
sales charge of 1.00% of the purchase price. They are subject to an annual
service fee of 0.15% and an annual distribution fee of 0.55% of the average
daily net assets of the Class, and investors pay a CDSC of 1.00% if they
redeem Class L shares within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC may be waived for
certain redemptions. The Class L shares' distribution fee may cause that Class
to have higher expenses and pay lower dividends than Class A shares. Purchases
of Fund shares, which when combined with current holdings of Class L shares of
the Fund equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, should be made in Class A
shares at net asset value with no sales charge, and will be subject to a CDSC
of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are available only to investors meeting an
initial investment minimum of $15,000,000. Class Y shares are sold at net
asset value with no initial sales charge or CDSC. They are not subject to any
service or distribution fees.
In deciding which Class of Fund shares to purchase, investors should con-
sider the following factors, as well as any other relevant facts and circum-
stances:
Intended Holding Period. The decision as to which Class of shares is more
beneficial to an investor depends on the amount and intended duration of his
or her investment. Shareholders who are planning to establish a program of
regular investment may wish to consider Class A shares; as the investment
accumulates shareholders may qualify for reduced sales charges and the shares
are subject to lower ongoing expenses over the term of the investment. As an
alternative, Class B shares are sold without any initial sales charge so the
entire purchase price is immediately invested in the Fund. Any investment
return on these additional invested amounts may partially or wholly offset the
higher annual expenses of this Class. Because the Fund's future return cannot
be predicted, however, there can be no assurance that this would be the case.
Finally, Class L shares which have a lower upfront sales charge but are sub-
ject to higher distribution fees than Class A shares, are suitable for invest-
ors who are not investing or intending to invest an amount which would receive
a substantive sales charge discount and who have a short-term or undertermined
time frame.
Finally, investors should consider the effect of the CDSC period and any
conversion rights of the Classes in the context of their own investment time
frame. For example, while Class C shares have a shorter CDSC period than Class
B shares,
4
<PAGE>
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
they do not have a conversion feature, and therefore, are subject to an ongoing
distribution fee. Thus, Class B shares may be more attractive than Class C
shares to investors with longer term investment outlooks.
Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge. The initial sales charge on Class A
shares may be waived for certain eligible purchasers, and the entire purchase
price would be immediately invested in the Fund. In addition, Class A share
purchases of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset value with no initial
sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within
12 months of purchase. The $500,000 investment may be met by adding the pur-
chase to the net asset value of all Class A shares held in certain funds spon-
sored by Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") listed under "Exchange Privilege."
Class A share purchases may also be eligible for a reduced initial sales
charge. See "Purchase of Shares." Because the ongoing expenses of Class A
shares may be lower than those for Class B and Class L shares, purchasers eli-
gible to purchase Class A shares at net asset value or at a reduced sales
charge should consider doing so.
Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different compensation for
selling the different Classes of shares. Investors should understand that the
purpose of the CDSC on the Class B and Class L shares is the same as that of an
initial sales charge.
See "Purchase of Shares" and "Management of the Fund" for a complete descrip-
tion of the sales charges and service and distribution fees for each Class of
shares and "Valuation of Shares," "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes" and "Ex-
change Privilege" for other differences between the Classes of shares.
PURCHASE OF SHARES Shares may be purchased through the Fund's distributor,
Smith Barney, a broker that clears securities transactions through Smith Barney
on a fully disclosed basis (an "Introducing Broker") or an investment dealer in
the selling group. See "Purchase of Shares."
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors in Class A, Class B and Class L shares may open
an account by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account.
Investors in Class Y shares may open an account for an initial investment of
$15,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for all Clas-
ses. The minimum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class
L shares and the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes through the
Systematic Investment Plan are described below. There is no minimum investment
requirement in Class A for unitholders who invest distributions from a unit
investment trust ("UIT") sponsored by Smith Barney. See "Purchase of Shares."
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Fund offers shareholders a Systematic Investment
Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a purchase order
each month or quarter for Fund shares. The minimum initial investment require-
ment for Class A, Class B and Class L shares and the subsequent investment
5
<PAGE>
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
requirement for all Classes for shareholders purchasing shares through the Sys-
tematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis is $25 and on a quarterly basis is
$50. See "Purchase of Shares."
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Re-
demption of Shares."
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND Mutual Management Corp., (formerly known as Smith Barney
Mutual Funds Management Inc.) ("MMC" or the "Adviser") serves as the Fund's
investment adviser and administrator. The Adviser provides investment advisory
and management services to investment companies affiliated with Smith Barney.
The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc.
("Holdings"), which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Travelers Group
Inc. ("Travelers"), a diversified financial services holding company engaged,
through its subsidiaries, principally in four business segments: Investment
Services including Asset Management, Consumer Finance Services, Life Insurance
Services and Property & Casualty Insurance Services. See "Management of the
Fund."
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shares of a Class may be exchanged for shares of the same
class of certain other Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the respective net asset
values next determined. See "Exchange Privilege."
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Fund for the prior day generally is
quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is also available
from Smith Barney Financial Consultants. See "Valuation of Shares."
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income are paid
monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annual-
ly. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of any
Class will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an
investor, in additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value.
Shares acquired by dividend and distribution reinvestments will not be subject
to any sales charge or CDSC. Class B shares acquired through dividend and dis-
tribution reinvestments will become eligible for conversion to Class A shares
on a pro rata basis. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that the Fund
will achieve its investment objective. The Fund has the right to invest, with-
out limit, in "private activity bonds," the income from which may be taxable as
a specific preference item for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax.
See "Investment Objective and Management Policies" and "Dividends, Distribu-
tions and Taxes." The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its assets in
investment grade securities and may invest the remainder of its assets in
securi-

ties rated as low as C by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or D by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"), or have an equivalent rating by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") or in unrated
obligations deemed by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Securities in
the fourth highest rating category, though considered to be investment grade,
have speculative characteristics. Securities rated as low as D are extremely
speculative and are in actual default of interest and/or principal payments.
There are risks connected with the use of certain portfolio strategies by the
Fund, such as the use of when-issued securities, municipal bond index futures
contracts and put and call options on interest rate futures as hedging devices,
and municipal leases. See "Investment Objective and Management Policies--Cer-
tain Portfolio Strategies."
THE FUND'S EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and expenses an
investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a shareholder of the Fund,
based upon the maximum sales charge or maximum CDSC that may be incurred at the
time of purchase or redemption and, unless otherwise noted, the Fund's operat-
ing expenses for its most recent fiscal year:

* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset
value with no sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
** Upon conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, such shares will no
longer be subject to a distribution fee. Class L shares do not have a
conversion feature and, therefore, are subject to an ongoing distribution
fee. As a result, long-term shareholders of Class L shares may pay more than
the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Class A shares of the Fund purchased through the Smith Barney AssetOne Pro-
gram will be subject to an annual asset based fee, payable quarterly, in lieu
of the initial sales charge. The fee will vary to a maximum of 1.50%, depending
on the amount of assets held through the Program. For more information, please
call your Smith Barney Financial Consultant.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
The sales charge and CDSC set forth in the above table are the maximum
charges imposed on purchases or redemptions of Fund shares and investors may
actually pay lower or no charges depending on the amount purchased and, in the
case of Class B, Class L and certain Class A shares, the length of time the
shares are held. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares." Smith
Barney receives an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.15% of the value of average
daily net assets of Class A shares. Smith Barney also receives, with respect to
Class B shares, an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.65% of the value of average daily net
assets of that Class, consisting of a 0.50% distribution fee and a 0.15% serv-
ice fee. With respect to Class L shares, Smith Barney receives an annual 12b-1
fee of 0.70% of the value of average daily net assets of the Class, consisting
of a 0.55% distribution fee and a 0.15% service fee. "Other expenses" in the
above table include fees for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and
accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees.
EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding the
various costs that an investor in the Fund will bear directly or indirectly.
The example assumes payment by the Fund of operating expenses at the levels set
forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares," "Redemption of Shares" and
"Management of the Fund."

An investor would pay the following
expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming
(1) 5.00% annual return and (2) redemption
at the end of each time period:
Class A $47 $61 $76 $121
Class B 57 68 76 131
Class L 33 49 77 158
Class Y 5 17 29 65
An investor would pay the following
expenses on the same investment, assuming
the same annual return and no redemption:
Class A $47 $61 $76 $121
Class B 12 38 66 131
Class L 23 49 77 158
Class Y 5 17 29 65
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
* Ten-year figures assume conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares at the
end of the eighth year following the date of purchase.
The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense levels
of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods. To
facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, the Fund's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. THIS EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTA-
TION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN
THOSE SHOWN.

issued prior to November 6, 1992 were designated Class A shares.
** Per share amounts have been calculated using the monthly average shares
method, rather than the undistributed net investment income method, because
it more accurately reflects the per share data for the period.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The Fund seeks to maximize current interest income exempt from Federal income
taxes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the pres-
ervation of capital by investing in a professionally managed, diversified port-
folio consisting of municipal securities that pay interest which is excluded
from gross income for regular Federal income tax purposes and that are issued
by or on behalf of the states, territories and possessions of the United States
and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and
instrumentalities, or multi-state agencies or authorities, generally known as
"Municipal Bonds." This investment objective may not be changed without the
approval of the holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding shares. There
is no guarantee that the Fund's investment objective will be achieved.
The Fund will operate subject to a fundamental investment policy providing
that, under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its
net assets in Municipal Bonds. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may
invest without limit in "Temporary Investments" as described below. The Fund's
average weighted maturity will vary from time to time based on the judgment of
the Adviser. The Fund intends to focus on intermediate- and long-term obliga-
tions; that is, obligations with remaining maturities at the time of purchase
of between three to in excess of twenty years.
The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in investment
grade debt obligations rated no lower than Baa, MIG 3 or Prime-1 by Moody's or
BBB, SP-2 or A-1 by S&P, or the equivalent rating by any NRSRO or in unrated
obligations of comparable quality. Unrated obligations will be considered to be
of investment grade if deemed by the Adviser to be of comparable quality to
instruments so rated, or if other outstanding obligations of the issuers
thereof are rated Baa or better by Moody's or BBB or better by S&P. The balance
of the Fund's assets may be invested in securities rated as low as C by Moody's
or D by S&P, or the equivalent rating by any NRSRO or deemed by the Adviser to
be comparable unrated securities, which are sometimes referred to as "junk
bonds." Securities in the fourth highest rating category, though considered to
be investment grade, have speculative characteristics. Securities rated as low
as D are extremely speculative and are in actual default of interest and/or
principal payments. It should be emphasized that ratings are relative and sub-
jective and are not absolute standards of quality. Although these ratings are
initial criteria for selection of portfolio investments, the Fund also will
make its own evaluation of these securities. Among the factors that will be
considered are the long-term ability of the issuers to pay principal and inter-
est and general economic trends.
The value of debt securities varies inversely to changes in the direction of
interest rates. When interest rates rise the value of debt securities generally
falls, and when interest rates fall, the value of debt securities generally
rises. While the market values of low-rated and comparable unrated securities
tend to react less to fluc-
14
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
tuations in interest rate levels than the market values of higher-rated securi-
ties, the market values of certain low-rated and comparable unrated municipal
securities also tend to be more sensitive than higher-rated securities to
short-term corporate and industry developments and changes in economic condi-
tions (including recession) in specific regions or localities or among specific
types of issuers. In addition, low-rated securities and comparable unrated
securities generally present a higher degree of credit risk. During an economic
downturn or a prolonged period of rising interest rates, the ability of issuers
of low-rated and comparable unrated securities to service their payment obliga-
tions, meet projected goals or obtain additional financing may be impaired. The
risk of loss due to default by such issuers is significantly greater because
low-rated and comparable unrated securities generally are unsecured and fre-
quently are subordinated to the prior payment of senior indebtedness. The Fund
may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery
upon a default in the payment of principal or interest on its portfolio hold-
ings.
While the market for municipal securities is considered to be generally ade-
quate, the existence of limited markets for particular low-rated and comparable
unrated securities may diminish the Fund's ability to (a) obtain accurate mar-
ket quotations for purposes of valuing such securities and calculating its net
asset value and (b) sell the securities at fair value either to meet redemption
requests or to respond to changes in the economy or in the financial markets.
The market for certain low-rated and comparable unrated securities has not
fully weathered a major economic recession. Any such recession, however, would
likely disrupt severely the market for such securities and adversely affect the
value of the securities and the ability of the issuers of these securities to
repay principal and pay interest thereon.
Fixed-income securities, including low-rated securities and comparable
unrated securities, frequently have call or buy-back features that permit their
issuers to call or repurchase the securities from their holders, such as the
Fund. If an issuer exercises these rights during periods of declining interest
rates, the Fund may have to replace the security with a lower yielding securi-
ty, thus resulting in a decreased return to the Fund.
A description of the rating systems of Moody's and S&P is contained in the
SAI.
The Fund may invest without limit in "municipal leases," which are obliga-
tions issued by state and local governments or authorities to finance the
acquisition of equipment or facilities. The interest on such obligations is, in
the opinion of counsel to the issuers, excluded from gross income for Federal
income tax purposes. Although lease obligations do not constitute general obli-
gations of the municipality for which the municipality's taxing power is
pledged, a lease obligation is ordinarily backed by the municipality's covenant
to budget for, appropriate and make the payments due under the lease obliga-
tion. However, certain lease obligations contain
15
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
"non-appropriation" clauses which provide that the municipality has no obliga-
tion to make lease or installment purchase payments in future years unless
money is appropriated for such purpose on a yearly basis. In addition to the
"non-appropriation" risk, these securities represent a relatively new type of
financing that has not yet developed the depth of marketability associated with
more conventional bonds. Although "non-appropriation" lease obligations are
often secured by the underlying property, disposition of the property in the
event of foreclosure might prove difficult. There is no limitation on the per-
centage of the Fund's assets that may be invested in municipal lease obliga-
tions. In evaluating municipal lease obligations, the Adviser will consider
such factors as it deems appropriate which may include: (a) whether the lease
can be canceled; (b) the ability of the lease obligee to direct the sale of the
underlying assets; (c) the general creditworthiness of the lease obligor; (d)
the likelihood that the municipality will discontinue appropriating funding for
the leased property in the event such property is no longer considered essen-
tial by the municipality; (e) the legal recourse of the lease obligee in the
event of such a failure to appropriate funding; (f) whether the security is
backed by a credit enhancement such as insurance; and (g) any limitations which
are imposed on the lease obligor's ability to utilize substitute property or
services rather than those covered by the lease obligation.
The Fund may invest without limit in private activity bonds. Interest income
on certain types of private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986 to
finance nongovernmental activities is a specific tax preference item for pur-
poses of the Federal individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes. Indi-
vidual and corporate shareholders may be subject to a Federal alternative mini-
mum tax to the extent that the Fund's dividends are derived from interest on
these bonds. Dividends derived from interest income on all Municipal Bonds are
a component of the "current earnings" adjustment item for purposes of the Fed-
eral corporate alternative minimum tax.
The Fund may also invest in zero coupon bonds. Such bonds carry an additional
risk that, unlike bonds which pay interest throughout the period to maturity,
the Fund will realize no cash until the cash payment date unless a portion of
such bonds is sold and, if the issuer defaults, the Fund may obtain no return
at all on its investment.
The Fund may invest without limit in debt obligations which are repayable out
of revenue streams generated from economically related projects or facilities
or debt obligations whose issuers are located in the same state. Sizable
investments in such obligations could involve an increased risk to the Fund
should any of such related projects or facilities experience financial diffi-
culties. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in
securities with contractual or other restrictions on resale and other instru-
ments which are not readily marketable. The Fund also is authorized to borrow
up to 10% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) valued at market
less liabilities (not including the amount bor-
16

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
rowed) to meet anticipated redemptions and to pledge its assets to the same
extent in connection with such borrowings.
Further information about the Fund's investment policies, including a list of
those restrictions on the Fund's investment activities that cannot be changed
without shareholder approval, appears in the SAI.
CERTAIN PORTFOLIO STRATEGIES
In attempting to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may employ, among
others, the following portfolio strategies.
When-Issued Securities.New issues of Municipal Bonds frequently are offered
on a when-issued basis, which means that delivery and payment for such securi-
ties normally take place within 45 days after the date of the commitment to
purchase. The payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on
when-issued securities are fixed at the time the buyer enters into the commit-
ment. As a result, the yields obtained on such securities may be higher or
lower than the yields available in the market on the dates when the instruments
actually are delivered to the buyers. In addition, during the period before
delivery and payment, there is no accrual of interest and there may be fluctua-
tions in the price of the securities. The Fund will establish a segregated
account with the Fund's custodian consisting of cash, debt securities of any
grade or equity securities, having a value equal to or greater than the Fund's
purchase commitments, provided such securities have been determined by the
Adviser to be liquid and unencumbered, and are marked to market daily, pursuant
to guidelines established by the directors. Placing securities rather than cash
in the segregated account may have a leveraging effect on the Fund's net
assets. The Fund generally will make commitments to purchase such Municipal
Bonds on a when-issued basis only with the intention of actually acquiring the
securities, but the Fund may sell the securities before the settlement date if
it is deemed advisable.
Temporary Investments.Under normal market conditions, the Fund may hold up to
20% of its total assets in cash or money market instruments, including taxable
money market instruments ("Temporary Investments"). In addition, when the
Adviser believes that market conditions warrant, including when acceptable
Municipal Bonds are unavailable, the Fund may take a temporary defensive pos-
ture and invest without limitation in Temporary Investments. Securities eligi-
ble for short-term investment by the Fund are tax-exempt notes of municipal
issuers having, at the time of purchase, a rating within the three highest
grades of Moody's or S&P or the equivalent rating by any NRSRO or, if not rat-
ed, having an issue of outstanding Municipal Bonds rated within the three high-
est grades of Moody's or S&P or the equivalent rating by any NRSRO, and certain
taxable short-term instruments having quality characteristics comparable to
those for Municipal Bonds. To the extent the Fund holds Temporary Investments,
it may not achieve its investment objective. Since its commencement of opera-
tions, the Fund has not found it necessary to make taxable Temporary Invest-
ments, and it is not expected that such action will be necessary.
17
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial Futures and Options Transactions.To hedge against a decline in the
value of Municipal Bonds it owns or an increase in the price of Municipal
Bonds it proposes to purchase, the Fund may enter into financial futures con-
tracts and invest in options on financial futures contracts that are traded on
a domestic exchange or board of trade. The futures contracts or options on
futures contracts that may be entered into by the Fund will be restricted to
those that are either based on an index of Municipal Bonds or relate to debt
securities the prices of which are anticipated by the Adviser to correlate
with the prices of the Municipal Bonds owned or to be purchased by the Fund.
In entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund will be required to
deposit with the broker through which it undertakes the transaction an amount
of cash or cash equivalents equal to approximately 5% of the contract amount.
This amount, which is known as "initial margin," is subject to change by the
exchange or board of trade on which the contract is traded, and members of the
exchange or board of trade may charge a higher amount. Initial margin is in
the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract that is
returned to the Fund upon termination of the futures contract, assuming all
contractual obligations have been satisfied. In accordance with a process
known as "marking-to-market," subsequent payments, known as "variation mar-
gin," to and from the broker will be made daily as the price of the index or
securities underlying the futures contract fluctuates, making the long and
short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable. At any time
prior to the expiration of a futures contract, the Fund may elect to close the
position by taking an opposite position, which will operate to terminate the
Fund's existing position in the contract.
A financial futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and
the purchase by the other party of a certain amount of a specified property at
a specified price, date, time and place. Unlike the direct investment in a
futures contract, an option on a financial futures contract gives the pur-
chaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in the
financial futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time prior to
the expiration date of the option. Upon exercise of an option, the delivery of
the futures position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option
will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer's
futures margin account, which represents the amount by which the market price
of the futures contract exceeds, in the case of a call, or is less than, in
the case of a put, the exercise price of the option on the futures contract.
The potential loss related to the purchase of an option on financial futures
contracts is limited to the premium paid for the option (plus transaction
costs). The value of the option may change daily and that change would be
reflected in the net asset value of the Fund.
Regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission applicable to the
Fund require that its transactions in financial futures contracts and options
on finan-
18
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
cial futures contracts be engaged in for bona fide hedging purposes, or if the
Fund enters into futures contracts for speculative purposes, that the aggregate
initial margin deposits and premiums paid by the Fund will not exceed 5% of the
market value of its assets. In addition, the Fund will, with respect to its
purchases of financial futures contracts, establish a segregated account con-
sisting of cash or cash equivalents in an amount equal to the total market
value of the futures contracts, less the amount of initial margin on deposit
for the contracts. The Fund's ability to trade in financial futures contracts
and options on financial futures contracts may be limited to some extent by the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
applicable to a regulated investment company that are described below under
"Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
Although the Fund intends to enter into financial futures contracts and
options on financial futures contracts that are traded on a domestic exchange
or board of trade only if an active market exists for those instruments, no
assurance can be given that an active market will exist for them at any partic-
ular time. If closing a futures position in anticipation of adverse price move-
ments is not possible, the Fund would be required to make daily cash payments
of variation margin. In those circumstances, an increase in the value of the
portion of the Fund's investments being hedged, if any, may offset partially or
completely losses on the futures contract. No assurance can be given, however,
that the price of the securities being hedged will correlate with the price
movements in a futures contract and, thus, provide an offset to losses on the
futures contract or option on the futures contract. In addition, in light of
the risk of an imperfect correlation between securities held by the Fund that
are the subject of a hedging transaction and the futures or options used as a
hedging device, the hedge may not be fully effective because, for example,
losses on the securities held by the Fund may be in excess of gains on the
futures contract or losses on the futures contract may be in excess of gains on
the securities held by the Fund that were the subject of the hedge. In an
effort to compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements in the price of
the securities being hedged and movements in the price of futures contracts,
the Fund may enter into financial futures contracts or options on financial
futures contracts in a greater or lesser dollar amount than the dollar amount
of the securities being hedged if the historical volatility of the futures con-
tract has been less or greater than that of the securities. This "over hedging"
or "under hedging" may adversely affect the Fund's net investment results if
market movements are not as anticipated when the hedge is established.
If the Fund has hedged against the possibility of an increase in interest
rates adversely affecting the value of securities it holds and rates decrease
instead, the Fund will lose part or all of the benefit of the increased value
of securities that it has hedged because it will have offsetting losses in its
futures or options positions. In addition, in those situations, if the Fund has
insufficient cash, it may have to sell
19
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
securities to meet daily variation margin requirements on the futures contracts
at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. These sales of securities
may, but will not necessarily, be at increased prices that reflect the decline
in interest rates.
Year 2000. The investment management services provided to the Fund by the
Adviser and the services provided to shareholders by Smith Barney, the Fund's
distributor, depend on the smooth functioning of their computer systems. Many
computer software systems in use today cannot recognize the year 2000, but
revert to 1900 or some other date, due to the manner in which dates were
encoded and calculated. That failure could have a negative impact on the Fund's
operations, including the handling of securities trades, pricing and account
services. The Adviser and Smith Barney have advised the Fund that they have
been reviewing all of their computer systems and actively working on necessary
changes to their systems to prepare for the year 2000 and expect that their
systems will be compliant before that date. In addition, the Adviser has been
advised by the Fund's custodian, transfer agent and accounting service agent
that they are also in the process of modifying their systems with the same
goal. There can, however, be no assurance that the Adviser, Smith Barney or any
other service provider will be successful, or that interaction with other non-
complying computer systems will not impair Fund services at that time.
MUNICIPAL BONDS
The term "Municipal Bonds" generally is understood to include debt obliga-
tions issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, the interest on which
qualifies, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, as excluded from gross
income for Federal income tax purposes. In addition, Municipal Bonds may
include "private activity bonds" if the proceeds from such bonds are used for
the construction, equipment, repair or improvement of privately operated indus-
trial or commercial facilities, and the interest paid on such bonds may be
excluded from gross income for Federal income tax purposes. Current Federal tax
laws place substantial limitations on the aggregate amount of such bonds that
any given state may issue.
CLASSIFICATIONS
The two principal classifications of Municipal Bonds are "general obligation"
and "revenue" bonds. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer's
pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal
and interest. Revenue bonds are payable from the revenues derived from a par-
ticular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of
a special excise or other specific revenue source, but not from the general
taxing power. Sizable investments in such obligations could involve an
increased risk to the Fund should any of such related facilities experience
financial difficulties. Private activity bonds are in most cases revenue bonds
and generally do not carry the pledge of the credit of the issuing municipali-
ty. There are, of course, variations in the security of Municipal Bonds, both
within a particular classification and between classifications.
20
<PAGE>
VALUATION OF SHARES
The Fund's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of regu-
lar trading on the NYSE, on each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the
value of the Fund's net assets attributable to each Class by the total number
of shares of that Class outstanding.
When, in the judgment of the pricing service, quoted bid prices for invest-
ments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the mar-
ket, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked
prices. Investments for which, in the judgment of the pricing service, there
is no readily obtainable market quotation (which may constitute a majority of
the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value of securities of similar
type, yield and maturity. Pricing services generally determine value by refer-
ence to transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal bond
dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relation-
ships between securities. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or
less are valued at amortized cost whenever the Directors determine that amor-
tized cost reflects fair value of those investments. Amortized cost valuation
involves valuing an instrument at its cost initially and, thereafter, assuming
a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of
the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instru-
ment. Securities and other assets that are not priced by a pricing service and
for which market quotations are not available will be valued in good faith at
fair value by or under the direction of the Fund's Board of Directors. Further
information regarding the Fund's valuation policies is contained in the SAI.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Fund's policy is to declare and pay exempt-interest dividends monthly.
Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed annual-
ly. The Fund may also pay additional dividends shortly before December 31 from
certain amounts of undistributed ordinary income and capital gains, in order
to avoid a Federal excise tax liability. If a shareholder does not otherwise
instruct, exempt-interest dividends and capital gain distributions will be
reinvested automatically in additional shares of the same Class at net asset
value, with no additional sales charge or CDSC.
The per share amounts of the exempt-interest dividends on Class B and Class
L shares may be lower than on Class A and Class Y shares, mainly as a result of
the distribution fees applicable to Class B and L shares. Similarly, the per
share amounts of exempt-interest dividends on Class A shares may be lower than
on Class Y shares, as a result of the service fee attributable to Class A
shares. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be the same across all Clas-
ses of Fund shares (A, B, L and Y).

TAXATION
The following is a summary of the material federal tax considerations affect-
ing the Fund and Fund shareholders. Please refer to the SAI for further discus-
sion. In addition to the considerations described below and in the SAI, there
may be other federal, state, local or foreign tax applications to consider.
Because taxes are a complex matter, prospective shareholders are urged to con-
sult their tax advisors for more detailed information with respect to the tax
consequences of any investment.
The Fund intends to qualify, as it has in prior years, under Subchapter M of
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") for tax treatment as a regulated invest-
ment company. In each taxable year that the Fund qualifies, so long as such
qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, the Fund will pay
no federal income tax on its net investment income and long-term capital gain
that is distributed to shareholders. The Fund also intends to satisfy condi-
tions that will enable it to pay "exempt-interest dividends" to shareholders.
Exempt-interest dividends are generally not subject to regular federal income
taxes, although they may be considered taxable for certain state and local
income (or intangible) tax purposes.
Exempt-interest dividends attributable to interest received by the Fund on
certain "private-activity" bonds will be treated as a specific tax preference
item to be included in a shareholder's alternative minimum tax computation. All
exempt-interest dividends will be a component of the "current earnings" adjust-
ment items for purposes of the Federal corporate alternative minimum tax. In
addition to the alternative minimum tax, corporate shareholders must include
this percentage as a component in the corporate environmental tax computation.
Exempt-interest dividends derived from the interest earned on private activity
bonds will not be exempt from federal income tax for those shareholders who are
"substantial users" (or persons related to "substantial users") of the facili-
ties financed by these bonds.
Shareholders who receive social security or equivalent railroad retirement
benefits should note that exempt-interest dividends are one of the items taken
into consideration in determining the amount of these benefits that may be sub-
ject to federal income tax.
The interest expense incurred by a shareholder on borrowing made to purchase,
or carry Fund shares, are not deductible for federal income tax purposes to the
extent related to the exempt-interest dividends received on such shares.
Dividends paid by the Fund from interest income on taxable investments, net
realized short-term securities gains, and, all, or a portion of, any gains
realized from the sale or other disposition of certain market discount bonds
are subject to federal income tax as ordinary income. Distributions, if any,
from net realized long-term securities gains, derived from the sale of bonds
held by the Fund for more than one year, are taxable as long-term capital
gains, regardless of the length of time a shareholder has owned Fund shares.
22
<PAGE>
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES (CONTINUED)
Shareholders are required to pay tax on all taxable distributions even if
those distributions are automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares.
None of the dividends paid by the Fund will qualify for the corporate dividends
received deduction. The Fund will inform shareholders of the source and tax
status of all distributions promptly after the close of each calendar year.
A shareholder's gain or loss on the disposition of Fund shares (whether by
redemption, sale or exchange), generally will be a long-term or short-term gain
or loss depending on the length of time the shares had been owned at disposi-
tion. Losses realized by a shareholder on the disposition of Fund shares owned
for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the
extent a capital gain dividend had been distributed on such shares.
The Fund is required to withhold ("backup withholding") 31% of all taxable
dividends, capital gain distributions, and the proceeds of any redemption,
regardless of whether gain or loss is realized upon the redemption, for share-
holders who do not provide the Fund with a correct taxpayer identification num-
ber (social security or employer identification number). Withholding from tax-
able dividends and capital gain distributions also is required for shareholders
who otherwise are subject to backup withholding. Any tax withheld as a result
of backup withholding does not constitute an additional tax, and may be claimed
as a credit on the shareholders' federal income tax return.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
GENERAL
The Fund currently offers four Classes of shares. Class A shares are sold to
investors with an initial sales charge. Class B shares are sold without an ini-
tial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC payable upon certain redemptions.
Class L shares are sold to investors with an initial sales charge and are sub-
ject to a CDSC payable upon certain redemptions. Class Y shares are sold with-
out an initial sales charge or a CDSC and are available only to investors
investing a minimum of $15,000,000 (except for purchases of Class Y shares by
Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc., for which there is no minimum pur-
chase amount). Until June 25, 1999 purchases of Class L shares by investors who
were holders of Class C shares of the Fund on June 12, 1998
will not be subject to the 1% front-end sales charge. See "Prospectus Summary--
Alternative Purchase Arrangements" for a discussion of factors to consider in
selecting which Class of shares to purchase.
Purchases of Fund shares must be made through a brokerage account maintained
with Smith Barney, with an Introducing Broker or with an investment dealer in
the selling group. When purchasing shares of the Fund, investors must specify
whether the purchase is for Class A, Class B, Class L or Class Y shares. Smith
Barney and
23

other broker/dealers may charge their customers an annual account maintenance
fee in connection with a brokerage account through which an investor purchases
or holds shares. Accounts held directly at First Data Investor Services Group,
Inc. ("First Data" or the "Transfer Agent") are not subject to a maintenance
fee.
Investors in Class A, Class B and Class L shares may open an account in the
Fund by making an initial investment of at least $1,000. Investors in Class Y
shares may open an account by making an initial investment of $15,000,000. Sub-
sequent investments of at least $50 may be made for all Classes. For sharehold-
ers purchasing shares of the Fund through the Systematic Investment Plan on a
monthly basis, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B
and Class L shares and the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes is
$25. For shareholders purchasing shares of the Fund through the Systematic
Investment Plan on a quarterly basis, the minimum initial investment require-
ment for Class A, Class B and Class L shares and the subsequent investment
requirement for all Classes is $50. There are no minimum investment require-
ments for Class A shares for employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries,
including Smith Barney, unitholders who invest distributions from a UIT spon-
sored by Smith Barney, and Directors or Trustees of any of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds and their spouses and children. The Fund reserves the right to
waive or change minimums, to decline any order to purchase its shares and to
suspend the offering of shares from time to time. Shares purchased will be held
in the shareholder's account by the Transfer Agent. Share certificates are
issued only upon a shareholder's written request to the Transfer Agent. It is
not recommended that the Fund be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or other
qualified retirement plans.
Purchase orders received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, on any day the Fund calculates its net asset val-
ue, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day (the
"trade date"). Orders received by dealers or Introducing Brokers prior to the
close of regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Fund calculates its net
asset value, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that
day, provided the order is received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to Smith
Barney's close of business. For shares purchased through Smith Barney or Intro-
ducing Brokers purchasing through Smith Barney, payment for Fund shares is due
on the third business day after the trade date (the "settlement date"). In all
other cases, payment must be made with the purchase order.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Shareholders may make additions to their accounts at any time by purchasing
shares through a service known as the Systematic Investment Plan. Under the
Systematic Investment Plan, Smith Barney or the Transfer Agent is authorized
through preauthorized transfers of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least
$50 on a
24
<PAGE>
PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
quarterly basis, to charge the shareholder's account held with a bank or other
financial institution on a monthly or quarterly basis as indicated by the
shareholder to provide systematic additions to the shareholder's Fund account.
A shareholder who has insufficient funds to complete the transfer will be
charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or the Transfer Agent. The System-
atic Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply cash held in the
shareholder's Smith Barney brokerage account or redeem the shareholder's shares
of a Smith Barney money market fund to make additions to the account. Addi-
tional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Barney Financial Con-
sultant.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net
asset value without any initial sales charge, but will be subject to a
CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The
CDSC on Class A shares is payable to Smith Barney, which compensates
Smith Barney Financial Consultants and other dealers whose clients make
purchases of $500,000 or more. The CDSC is waived in the same
circumstances in which the CDSC applicable to Class B and Class C
shares is waived. See "Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives" and "Waivers
of CDSC."
Members of the selling group may receive up to 90% of the sales charge and
may be deemed to be underwriters of the Fund as defined in the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
The reduced sales charges shown above apply to the aggregate of purchases of
Class A shares of the Fund made at one time by "any person," which includes an
individual and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or other fiduciary of
a single trust estate or single fiduciary account.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE WAIVERS--CLASS A SHARES
Purchases of Class A shares may be made at net asset value without a sales
charge in the following circumstances: (a) sales of Class A shares to (i) Board
Members and employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries and of any of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds (including retired Board Members and employees); the imme-
diate families of such persons (including the surviving spouse of a deceased
Board Member or employee); and to a pension, profit-sharing or other benefit
plan for
25
<PAGE>
PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
such persons and (ii) employees of members of the National Association of
Securities Dealers Inc., provided such sales are made upon the assurance of
the purchaser that the purchase is made for investment purposes and that the
security will not be resold except through redemption or repurchase; (b)
offers of Class A shares to any other investment company to effect the combi-
nation of such company with the Fund by merger, acquisition of assets or oth-
erwise; (c) purchases of Class A shares by any client of a newly employed
Smith Barney Financial Consultant (for a period up to 90 days from the com-
mencement of the Financial Consultant's employment with Smith Barney), on the
condition the purchase of Class A shares is made with the proceeds of the
redemption of shares of a mutual fund which (i) was sponsored by the Financial
Consultant's prior employer, (ii) was sold to the client by the Financial Con-
sultant and (iii) was subject to a sales charge; (d) purchases by shareholders
who have redeemed Class A shares in the Fund (or Class A shares of another
Smith Barney Mutual Fund that are offered with a sales charge) and who wish to
reinvest their redemption proceeds in the Fund, provided the reinvestment is
made within 60 calendar days of the redemption; (e) purchases by accounts man-
aged by registered investment advisory subsidiaries of Travelers; (f) pur-
chases by separate accounts used to fund certain unregistered variable annuity
contracts; (g) investments of distributions from a UIT sponsored by Smith Bar-
ney; and (h) purchases by investors participating in a Smith Barney fee-based
arrangement. In order to obtain such discounts, the purchaser must provide
sufficient information at the time of purchase to permit verification that the
purchase would qualify for the elimination of the sales charge.
RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION
Class A shares of the Fund may be purchased by "any person" (as defined
above) at a reduced sales charge or at net asset value determined by aggregat-
ing the dollar amount of the new purchase and the total net asset value of all
Class A shares of the Fund and of funds sponsored by Smith Barney which are
offered with a sales charge listed under "Exchange Privilege" then held by
such person and applying the sales charge applicable to such aggregate. In
order to obtain such discount, the purchaser must provide sufficient informa-
tion at the time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase quali-
fies for the reduced sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to
modification or discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares pur-
chased thereafter.
GROUP PURCHASES
Upon completion of certain automated systems, a reduced sales charge or pur-
chase at net asset value will also be available to employees (and partners) of
the same employer purchasing as a group, provided each participant makes the
minimum initial investment required. The sales charge applicable to purchases
by each member of such a group will be determined by the table set forth above
under "Initial Sales Charge Alternative--Class A Shares," and will be based
upon the
26
<PAGE>
PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
aggregate sales of Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered with a
sales charge to, and share holdings of, all members of the group. To be eligi-
ble for such reduced sales charges or to purchase at net asset value, all pur-
chases must be pursuant to an employer or partnership-sanctioned plan meeting
certain requirements. One such requirement is that the plan must be open to
specified partners or employees of the employer and its subsidiaries, if any.
Such plan may, but is not required to, provide for payroll deductions. Smith
Barney may also offer a reduced sales charge or net asset value purchase for
aggregating related fiduciary accounts under such conditions that Smith Barney
will realize economies of sales efforts and sales related expenses. An individ-
ual who is a member of a qualified group may also purchase Class A shares at
the reduced sales charge applicable to the group as a whole. The sales charge
is based upon the aggregate dollar value of Class A shares offered with a sales
charge that have been previously purchased and are still owned by the group,
plus the amount of the current purchase. A "qualified group" is one which
(a) has been in existence for more than six months, (b) has a purpose other
than acquiring Fund shares at a discount and (c) satisfies uniform criteria
which enable Smith Barney to realize economies of scale in its costs of dis-
tributing shares. A qualified group must have more than 10 members, must be
available to arrange for group meetings between representatives of the Fund and
the members, and must agree to include sales and other materials related to the
Fund in its publications and mailings to members at no cost to Smith Barney. In
order to obtain such reduced sales charge or to purchase at net asset value,
the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time of purchase to
permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced sales charge.
Approval of group purchase reduced sales charge plans is subject to the discre-
tion of Smith Barney.
LETTER OF INTENT
Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for amounts of $50,000 or more provides an
opportunity for an investor to obtain a reduced sales charge by aggregating
investments over a 13-month period, provided that the investor refers to such
Letter when placing orders. For purposes of a Letter of Intent, the "Amount of
Investment" as referred to in the preceding sales charge table includes (i) all
Class A shares of the Fund and other Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered with a
sales charge acquired during the term of the Letter plus (ii) the value of all
Class A shares previously purchased and still owned. Each investment made dur-
ing the period receives the reduced sales charge applicable to the total amount
of the investment goal. If the goal is not achieved within the period, the
investor must pay the difference between the sales charges applicable to the
purchases made and the charges actually paid, or an appropriate number of
escrowed shares will be redeemed. The term of the Letter will commence upon the
date the Letter is signed, or at the option of the investor, up to 90 days
before such date. Please contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant or the
Transfer Agent to obtain a Letter of Intent application.
27
<PAGE>
PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may also be used as a way for investors to
meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares. Such investors must
make an initial minimum purchase of $5,000,000 in Class Y shares of the Fund
and agree to purchase a total of $15,000,000 of Class Y shares of the Fund
within 13 months from the date of the Letter. If a total investment of
$15,000,000 is not made within the 13 month period, all Class Y shares pur-
chased to date will be transferred to Class A shares, where they will be sub-
ject to all fees (including a service fee of 0.15%) and expenses applicable to
the Fund's Class A shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%. Please contact a
Smith Barney Financial Consultant or the Transfer Agent for further
information.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVES
"CDSC Shares" are sold at net asset value next determined without an initial
sales charge so that the full amount of an investor's purchase payment may be
immediately invested in the Fund. A CDSC, however, may be imposed on certain
redemptions of these shares. "CDSC Shares" are : (a) Class B shares; (b) Class
L shares; and (c) Class A shares that were purchased without an initial sales
charge but subject to a CDSC.
Any applicable CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of the
original cost of the shares being redeemed or their net asset value at the time
of redemption. CDSC Shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a CDSC to
the extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital appreciation
of Fund assets; (b) reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions;
(c) with respect to Class B shares, shares redeemed more than five years after
their purchase; or (d) with respect to Class L shares and Class A shares that
are CDSC Shares, shares redeemed more than 12 months after their purchase.
Class L and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC
if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. In circumstances in which the CDSC is
imposed on Class B shares, the amount of the charge will depend on the number
of years since the shareholder made the purchase payment from which the amount
is being redeemed. Solely for purposes of determining the number of years since
a purchase payment, all purchase payments made during a month will be aggre-
gated and deemed to have been made on the last day of the preceding Smith Bar-
ney statement month. The following table sets forth the rates of the charge for
redemptions of Class B shares by shareholders.
<TABLE>

Fourth 2.00
Fifth 1.00
Sixth and thereafter 0.00
- ---------------------------------

PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares eight years after
the date on which they were purchased and thereafter will no longer be subject
to any distribution fees. There will also be converted at that time such pro-
portion of Class B Dividend Shares owned by the shareholder as the total number
of his or her Class B shares converting at the time bears to the total number
of outstanding Class B shares (other than Class B Dividend Shares) owned by the
shareholder. See "Prospectus Summary--Alternative Purchase Arrangements--Class
B Shares Conversion Feature."
The length of time that CDSC Shares acquired through an exchange have been
held will be calculated from the date that the shares exchanged were initially
acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and Fund shares being
redeemed will be considered to represent, as applicable, capital appreciation
or dividend and capital gain distribution reinvestments in such other funds.
For Federal income tax purposes, the amount of the CDSC will reduce the gain or
increase the loss, as the case may be, on the amount realized on redemption.
The amount of any CDSC will be paid to Smith Barney.
To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B shares at $10
per share for a cost of $1,000. Subsequently, the investor acquired 5 addi-
tional shares through dividend reinvestment. During the fifteenth month after
the purchase, the investor decided to redeem $500 of his or her investment.
Assuming at the time of the redemption the net asset value had appreciated to
$12 per share, the value of the investor's shares would be $1,260 (105 shares
at $12 per share). The CDSC would not be applied to the amount which represents
appreciation ($200) and the value of the reinvested dividend shares ($60).
Therefore, $240 of the $500 redemption proceeds ($500 minus $260) would be
charged at a rate of 4.00% (the applicable rate for Class B shares) for a total
deferred sales charge of $9.60.
WAIVERS OF CDSC
The CDSC will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see "Exchange Privilege"); (b) au-
tomatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 1.00% per month of
the value of the shareholder's shares at the time the withdrawal plan commences
(see "Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan") (provided, however, that automatic cash
withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per month of the value of
the shareholder's shares will be permitted for withdrawal plans that were
established prior to November 7, 1994); (c) redemptions of shares within 12
months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (d) involuntary
redemptions; and (e) redemptions of shares to effect with a combination of the
Fund with any investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise.
In addition, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other Smith Barney
Mutual Funds may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all or part of the
redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit for any CDSC
imposed on the prior redemption.
29
<PAGE>
PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in the
case of shareholders who are also Smith Barney clients or by the Transfer Agent
in the case of all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status or holdings,
as the case may be.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Except as otherwise noted below, shares of each Class may be exchanged at the
net asset value next determined for shares of the same Class in the following
Smith Barney Mutual Funds, to the extent shares are offered for sale in the
shareholder's state of residence. Exchanges of Class A, Class B and Class L
shares are subject to minimum investment requirements and all shares are sub-
ject to the other requirements of the fund into which exchanges are made.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE (CONTINUED)
Class B Exchanges.In the event a Class B shareholder wishes to exchange all
or a portion of his or her shares in any of the funds imposing a higher CDSC
than that imposed by the Fund, the exchanged Class B shares will be subject to
the higher applicable CDSC. Upon an exchange, the new Class B shares will be
deemed to have been purchased on the same date as the Class B shares of the
Fund that have been exchanged.
Class L Exchanges.Upon an exchange, the new Class L shares will be deemed to
have been purchased on the same date as the Class L shares of the Fund that
have been exchanged.
Class A and Class Y Exchanges.Class A and Class Y shareholders of the Fund
who wish to exchange all or a portion of their shares for shares of the respec-
tive Class in any of the funds identified above may do so without imposition of
any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege.Although the exchange
privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can be det-
rimental to the Fund's performance and its shareholders. The Adviser may deter-
mine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is excessive and contrary to the best
interests of its other shareholders. In this event, the Fund may, at its dis-
cretion, decide to limit additional purchases and/or exchanges by a sharehold-
er. Upon such a determination, the Fund will provide notice in writing or by
telephone to the shareholder at least 15 days prior to suspending the exchange
privilege and during the 15 day period the shareholder will be required to (a)
redeem his or her shares in the Fund or (b) remain invested in the Fund or
exchange into any of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds ordinarily available, which
position the shareholder would be expected to maintain for a significant period
of time. All relevant factors will be considered in determining what consti-
tutes an abusive pattern of exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See "Re-
demption of Shares--Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges will
be processed at the net asset value next determined. Redemption procedures dis-
cussed below are also applicable for exchanging shares, and exchanges will be
made upon receipt of all supporting documents in proper form. If the account
registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to the reg-
istration of the shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee is
required. A capital gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized upon the
exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed. Before
exchanging shares, investors should read the current prospectus describing the
shares to be acquired. The Fund reserves the right to modify or discontinue
exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.

<PAGE>
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Fund tendered to it, as
described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per share
next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no charge
other than any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the close of
regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next determined.
If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request for redemp-
tion must specify the Class being redeemed. In the event of a failure to spec-
ify which Class, or if the investor owns fewer shares of the Class than speci-
fied, the redemption request will be delayed until the Transfer Agent receives
further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's account is not
with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption proceeds will
be remitted on or before the third business day following receipt of proper
tender, except on any days on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted under
the 1940 Act in extraordinary circumstances. Generally, if the redemption pro-
ceeds are remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds will not be
invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific instruction and Smith
Barney will benefit from the use of temporarily uninvested funds. Redemption
proceeds for shares purchased by check, other than a certified or official bank
check, will be remitted upon clearance of the check, which may take up to ten
days or more.
Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than those
held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's Finan-
cial Consultant, Introducing Broker or a dealer in the selling group or by sub-
mitting a written request for redemption to:
Smith Barney Managed Municipals Fund Inc.
Class A, B, L or Y (please specify)
c/o First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
P.O. Box 5128
Westborough, Massachusetts 01581-5128
A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are regis-
tered. If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the cer-
tificates must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed stock
power) and must be submitted to the Transfer Agent together with the redemption
request. Any signature required in connection with a written redemption request
in excess of $10,000, share certificate or stock power must be guaranteed by an
eligible guarantor institution such as a domestic bank, savings and loan insti-
tution, domestic credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or
member firm of a national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of
$10,000 or less do not require a
33
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request is made in any
10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an investor's address of
record. The Transfer Agent may require additional supporting documents for
redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators, trustees or guard-
ians. A redemption request will not be deemed properly received until the
Transfer Agent receives all required documents in proper form.
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be eligible
to redeem and exchange Fund shares by telephone. To determine if a shareholder
is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact the Trans-
fer Agent at (800) 451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization form, including a sig-
nature guarantee, that will be provided by the Transfer Agent upon request.
(Alternatively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new
account application with a signature guarantee when making his/her initial
investment in the Fund.)
Redemptions.Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes of
the Fund's shares may be made by eligible shareholders by calling the Transfer
Agent at (800) 451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and
4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemptions of
shares (i) by retirement plans or (ii) for which certificates have been issued
are not permitted under this program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds mailed
to his/her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by the
shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the
case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In
order to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a
member of the Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with
a member bank. The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee
for each wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the
shareholder's account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the
bank account designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must com-
plete a new Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the
shareholder's assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and
certain other documentation.
Exchanges.Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the fund being acquired is identical to the registra-
tion of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests may be made by
calling the Transfer Agent at (800) 451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open.
Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program.Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following instruc-
tions communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be genuine. The
Fund
34

REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the identity of the
caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a shareholder's name and
account number will be required and phone calls may be recorded). The Fund
reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the telephone redemption
and exchange program or to impose a charge for this service at any time fol-
lowing at least seven days' prior notice to shareholders.
AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
The Fund offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under which
shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to
receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. The withdrawal
plan will be carried over on exchanges between funds or Classes of the Fund.
Any applicable CDSC will not be waived on amounts withdrawn by a shareholder
that exceed 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject
to the CDSC at the time the withdrawal plan commences. (With respect to with-
drawal plans in effect prior to November 7, 1994, any applicable CDSC will be
waived on amounts withdrawn that do not exceed 2.00% per month of the share-
holder's shares subject to the CDSC.) For further information regarding the
automatic cash withdrawal plan, shareholders should contact a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or their Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or a
dealer in the selling group.
MINIMUM ACCOUNT SIZE
The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's
account in the Fund if the aggregate net asset value of the shares held in the
Fund account is less than $500. (If a shareholder has more than one account in
this Fund, each account must satisfy the minimum account size.) The Fund, how-
ever, will not redeem shares based solely on market reductions in net asset
value. Before the Fund exercises such right, shareholders will receive written
notice and will be permitted 60 days to bring accounts up to the minimum to
avoid involuntary liquidation.
PERFORMANCE
YIELD
From time to time, the Fund may advertise the 30-day "yield" and "equivalent
taxable yield" of each Class of shares. The yield refers to the income gener-
ated by an investment in those shares over the 30-day period identified in the
advertisement and is computed by dividing the net investment income per share
earned by the Class during the period by the maximum public offering price per
share on the last day of the period. This income is "annualized" by assuming
the amount of income is generated each month over a one-year period and is
compounded semi-annually. The annualized income is then shown as a percentage
of the net asset value.
35
<PAGE>
PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
The equivalent taxable yield demonstrates the yield on a taxable investment
necessary to produce an after-tax yield equal to the Fund's tax-exempt yield
for each Class. It is calculated by increasing the yield shown for the Class to
the extent necessary to reflect the payment of taxes at specified tax rates.
Thus, the equivalent taxable yield always will exceed the Fund's yield. For
more information on equivalent taxable yields, refer to the table under "Divi-
dends, Distributions and Taxes."
TOTAL RETURN
From time to time the Fund may include its total return, average annual total
return and current dividend return in advertisements and/or other types of
sales literature. These figures are computed separately for Class A, Class B,
Class L and Class Y shares of the Fund. These figures are based on historical
earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. Total return is
computed for a specified period of time assuming deduction of the maximum sales
charge, if any, from the initial amount invested and reinvestment of all income
dividends and capital gain distributions on the reinvestment dates at prices
calculated as stated in this Prospectus, then dividing the value of the invest-
ment at the end of the period so calculated by the initial amount invested and
subtracting 100%. The standard average annual total return, as prescribed by
the SEC, is derived from this total return, which provides the ending redeem-
able value. Such standard total return information may also be accompanied with
nonstandard total return information for differing periods computed in the same
manner but without annualizing the total return or taking sales charges into
account. The Fund calculates current dividend return for each Class by
annualizing the most recent monthly distribution and dividing by the net asset
value or the maximum public offering price (including sales charge) on the last
day of the period for which current dividend return is presented. The current
dividend return for each Class may vary from time to time depending on market
conditions, the composition of its investment portfolio and operating expenses.
These factors and possible differences in the methods used in calculating cur-
rent dividend return should be considered when comparing a Class' current
return to yields published for other investment companies and other investment
vehicles. The Fund may also include comparative performance information in
advertising or marketing its shares. Such performance information may include
data from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. or similar independent services that
monitor the performance of mutual funds, or other financial publications.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund rests with
the Fund's Board of Directors. The Directors approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund, including
agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment adviser and administrator,
custo-

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND (CONTINUED)
dian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Fund are delegated
to the Fund's investment adviser and administrator. The SAI contains back-
ground information regarding each Director and executive officer of the Fund.
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
The Fund's investment adviser, MMC, is a registered investment adviser whose
principal executive offices are located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New
York 10013. MMC was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of Delaware and ren-
ders investment advice to a wide variety of individual, institutional and
investment company clients that had aggregate assets under management as of
May 31, 1998 in excess of $98 billion.
Subject to the supervision and direction of the Fund's Board of Directors,
the Adviser manages the Fund's portfolio in accordance with the Fund's stated
investment objective and policies, makes investment decisions for the Fund,
places orders to purchase and sell securities and employs professional portfo-
lio managers and securities analysts who provide research services to the
Fund. For investment advisory services rendered, the Fund pays the Adviser a
fee at the following annual rates of average daily net assets: 0.35% up to
$500 million; 0.32% of the next $1 billion; and 0.29% in excess of $1.5 bil-
lion. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.
For the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998, the Adviser was paid
investment advisory fees equal to 0.31% of the value of the average daily net
assets of the Fund.
MMC also serves as the Fund's administrator and oversees all aspects of the
Fund's administration and operation. For administration services rendered, the
Fund pays MMC a fee at the following annual rates of average daily net assets:
0.20% up to $500 million; 0.18% of the next $1 billion; and 0.16% in excess of
$1.5 billion. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998, the Fund paid an
administration fee of 0.17% of the value of its average daily net assets.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Joseph P. Deane, an Investment Officer of MMC and a Managing Director of
Smith Barney, has served as Vice President and Investment Officer of the Fund
since November 1, 1988, and is responsible for managing the day-to-day opera-
tions of the Fund, including making investment decisions.
Management's discussion and analysis, and additional performance information
regarding the Fund during the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998 is included
in the Annual Report dated February 28, 1998. A copy of the Annual Report may
be obtained upon request and without charge from a Smith Barney Financial Con-
sultant or by writing or calling the Fund at the address or phone number
listed on page one of this Prospectus.
On April 6, 1998, Travelers announced that it had entered into a Merger
Agreement with Citicorp. The transaction, which is expected to be completed
during the third quarter of 1998, is subject to various regulatory approvals,
including approval by the Federal Reserve Board. The transaction is also sub-
ject to approval by the stockholders of each of Travelers and Citicorp. Upon
consummation of the merger,
37
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND (CONTINUED)
the surviving corporation would be a bank holding company subject to regulation
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "BHCA"), the requirements of
the Glass-Steagall Act and certain other laws and regulations. Although the
effects of the merger of Travelers and Citicorp and compliance with the
requirements of the BHCA and the Glass-Steagall Act are still under review, the
Adviser does not believe that its compliance with applicable law following the
merger of Travelers and Citicorp will have a material adverse effect on its
ability to continue to provide the Fund with the same level of investment advi-
sory services that it currently receives.
DISTRIBUTOR
Smith Barney is located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013.
Smith Barney distributes shares of the Fund as principal underwriter and as
such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts" arrangement
requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as may be sold
to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the Fund under
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid a service fee
with respect to Class A, Class B and Class L shares of the Fund at the annual
rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the respective Class. Smith
Barney is also paid a distribution fee with respect to Class B and Class L
shares at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55%, respectively, of the average
daily net assets attributable to those Classes. Class B shares which automati-
cally convert to Class A shares eight years after the date of original purchase
will no longer be subject to a distribution fee. The fees are used by Smith
Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing shareholder accounts and,
in the case of Class B and Class L shares, to cover expenses primarily intended
to result in the sale of those shares. These expenses include: advertising
expenses; the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses to potential investors;
payments to and expenses of Smith Barney Financial Consultants and other per-
sons who provide support services in connection with the distribution of
shares; interest and/or carrying charges; and indirect and overhead costs of
Smith Barney associated with the sale of Fund shares, including lease, utility,
communications and sales promotion expenses.
The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares of a
Class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the
time of sale and, with respect to Class A, Class B and Class L shares, a con-
tinuing fee for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder
remains a holder of that Class. Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive
different levels of compensation for selling different Classes of shares.
Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to the distribution and
shareholder service expenses actually incurred by Smith Barney and the payments
may exceed distribution expenses actually incurred. The Fund's Board of Direc-
tors will evaluate the appropriateness of the Plan and its payment terms on a
continuing basis and in so doing will consider all relevant factors, including
expenses borne by Smith Barney, amounts received under the Plan and proceeds of
the CDSC.
38
<PAGE>
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on Septem-
ber 16, 1980, and is registered with the SEC as a diversified, open-end manage-
ment investment company.
Each Class of the Fund's shares represents an identical interest in the
Fund's investment portfolio. As a result, the Classes have the same rights,
privileges and preferences, except with respect to: (a) the designation of each
Class; (b) the effect of the respective sales charges for each Class; (c) the
distribution and/or service fees borne by each Class; (d) the expenses allow-
able exclusively to each Class; (e) voting rights on matters exclusively
affecting a single class; (f) the exchange privilege of each Class; and (g) the
conversion feature of the Class B shares. The Board of Directors does not
anticipate that there will be any conflicts among the interests of the holders
of the different Classes. The Directors, on an ongoing basis, will consider
whether any such conflict exists and, if so, take appropriate action.
The Fund does not hold annual shareholder meetings. There normally will be no
meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Directors unless and until
such time as less than a majority of the Directors holding office have been
elected by shareholders. The Directors will call a meeting for any purpose upon
written request of shareholders holding at least 10% of the Fund's outstanding
shares and the Fund will assist shareholders in calling such a meeting as
required by the 1940 Act. When matters are submitted for shareholder vote,
shareholders of each Class will have one vote for each full share owned and a
proportionate, fractional vote for any fractional share held of that Class.
Generally, shares of the Fund will be voted on a Fund-wide basis on all matters
except matters affecting only the interests of one Class.
PNC, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103,
serves as custodian of the Fund's investments.
First Data, located at 53 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves
as the Fund's transfer agent.
The Fund sends to each of its shareholders a semi-annual report and an
audited annual report, which include listings of the investment securities held
by the Fund at the end of the reporting period. In an effort to reduce the
Fund's printing and mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of
its semi-annual and annual reports by household. This consolidation means that
a household having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will
receive a single copy of each report. Shareholders who do not want this consol-
idation to apply to their account should contact their Financial Consultants or
the Transfer Agent.

Adviser receives a fee paid at the following annual rates of average
daily net assets: 0.20% up to $500 million; 0.18% of the next $1

1996 fiscal years, the Fund paid the Adviser $5,643,278, $4,850,912 and
$4,344,556, respectively, in administration fees.
The Fund bears expenses incurred in its operation, including: taxes,
interest, brokerage fees and commissions, if any; fees of Directors who

been selected as the Fund's independent auditor to examine and report on
the Fund's financial statements and highlights for the fiscal year
ending February 28, 1999.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The Prospectus discusses the Fund's investment objective and the
policies it employs to achieve its objective. The following discussion
supplements the description of the Fund's investment objective and
management policies in the Prospectus. For purposes of this SAI,
intermediate- and long-term debt obligations issued by or on behalf of
states, territories and possessions of the United States and the
District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies or
instrumentalities, or multistate agencies or authorities, are
collectively referred to as "Municipal Bonds.''

In general, the ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")
and Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") and other nationally
recognized statistical ratings organizations ("NRSROs") represent the
opinions of those agencies as to the quality of the Municipal Bonds and
short-term investments which they rate. It should be emphasized,
however, that such ratings are relative and subjective, are not absolute
standards of quality and do not evaluate the market risk of securities.
These ratings will be used by the Fund as initial criteria for the
selection of portfolio securities, but the Fund also will rely upon the
independent advice of the Adviser to evaluate potential investments.
Among the factors that will be considered are the long-term ability of
the issuer to pay principal and interest and general economic trends. To
the extent the Fund invests in lower-rated and comparable unrated
securities, the Fund's achievement of its investment objective may be
more dependent on the Adviser's credit analysis of such securities than
would be the case for a portfolio consisting entirely of higher-rated
securities. The Appendix contains further information concerning the
ratings of Moody's and S&P and their significance.
Subsequent to its purchase by the Fund, an issue of Municipal Bonds
may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the rating
given at the time the securities were acquired by the Fund. Neither
event will require the sale of such Municipal Bonds by the Fund, but the
Adviser will consider such event in its determination of whether the
Fund should continue to hold such Municipal Bonds. In addition, to the
extent the ratings change as a result of changes in such organizations
in their rating systems or due to a corporate restructuring of Moody's,
S&P or any NRSRO, the Fund will attempt to use comparable ratings as
standards for its investments in accordance with its investment
objective and policies.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in securities rated
below A, MIG 3 or Prime-1 (P-1) by Moody's or A, SP-2 or A-3 by S&P or
the equivalent rating from an NRSRO, or in unrated securities of
comparable quality. Such securities (a) will likely have some quality
and protective characteristics that, in the judgment of rating
organizations, are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk
exposures to adverse conditions and (b) are predominantly speculative
with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay
principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund shall not invest more than
10% of its assets in securities (excluding those subject to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act")), that are
determined to be illiquid by the Adviser.
Temporary Investments
When the Fund is maintaining a defensive position, the Fund may invest
in short-term investments ("Temporary Investments") consisting of (a)
the following tax-exempt securities: notes of municipal issuers having,
at the time of purchase, a rating within the three highest grades of
Moody's or S&P or, if not rated, having an issue of outstanding
Municipal Bonds rated within the three highest grades by Moody's or S&P
and (b) the following taxable securities: obligations of the United
States government, its agencies or instrumentalities ("U.S. government
securities"), repurchase agreements, other debt securities rated within
the three highest grades by Moody's, S&P, or other NRSROs, commercial
paper rated in the highest grade by either of such rating services, and
certificates of deposit of domestic banks with assets of $1 billion or
more. The Fund may invest in Temporary Investments for defensive reasons
in anticipation of a market decline. At no time will more than 20% of
the Fund's total assets be invested in Temporary Investments unless the
Fund has adopted a defensive investment policy. The Fund intends,
however, to purchase tax-exempt Temporary Investments pending the
investment of the proceeds of the sale of portfolio securities or shares
of the Fund's common stock, or in order to have highly liquid securities
available to meet anticipated redemptions. Since the commencement of its
operations, the Fund has not found it necessary to purchase taxable
Temporary Investments.
Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may engage in repurchase agreements
with banks which are the issuers of instruments acceptable for purchase
by the Fund and with certain dealers on the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York's list of reporting dealers. A repurchase agreement is a contract
under which the buyer of a security simultaneously commits to resell the
security to the seller at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date.
Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund would
acquire an underlying debt obligation for a relatively short period
(usually not more than one week) subject to an obligation of the seller
to repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon
price and time, thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding
period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not
subject to market fluctuations during the Fund's holding period. The
value of the underlying securities will be at least equal at all times
to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest.
Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of
default or insolvency of the other party, including possible delays or
restrictions upon the Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying
securities, the risk of a possible decline in the value of the
underlying securities during the period in which the Fund seeks to
assert its rights to them, the risk of incurring expenses associated
with asserting those rights and the risk of losing all or part of the
income from the agreement. The Adviser, acting under the supervision of
the Fund's Board of Directors, reviews on an ongoing basis the value of
the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with
which the Fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential
risks.
Investment Restrictions
The Fund has adopted the following investment restrictions for the
protection of shareholders. Restrictions 1 through 7 cannot be changed
without approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of the Fund, defined as the lesser of (a) 67% of the Fund's shares
present at a meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of the Fund are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than
50% of the Fund's outstanding shares. The remaining restrictions may be
changed by the Board of Directors at any time. The Fund may not:
1. Invest in a manner that would cause it to fail to be a
"diversified company" under the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations
and orders thereunder.
2. Issue "senior securities" as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules,
regulations and orders thereunder, except as permitted under the 1940
Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder
3. Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the
issuers of which are in the same industry. For purposes of this
limitation, U.S. government securities and securities of state or
municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not
considered to be issued by members of any industry.
4. Borrow money, except that (a) the Fund may borrow from banks for
temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes, including the
meeting of redemption requests which might otherwise require the
untimely disposition of securities, and (b) the Fund may, to the
extent consistent with its investment policies, enter into reverse
repurchase agreements, forward roll transactions and similar
investment strategies and techniques. To the extent that it engages
in transactions described in (a) and (b), the Fund will be limited so
that no more than 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets (including
the amount borrowed), valued at the lesser of cost or market, less
liabilities (not including the amount borrowed) valued at the time
the borrowing is made, is derived from such transactions.
5. Make loans. This restriction does not apply to: (a) the purchase
of debt obligations in which the Fund may invest consistent with its
investment objectives and policies; (b) repurchase agreements; and (c)
loans of its portfolio securities, to the fullest extent permitted
under the 1940 Act.
6. Engage in the business of underwriting securities issued by other
persons, except to the extent that the Fund may technically be deemed
to be an underwriter under the 1933 Act, in disposing of portfolio
securities.
7. Purchase or sell real estate, real estate mortgages, commodities
or commodity contracts, but this restriction shall not prevent the
Fund from (a) investing in securities of issuers engaged in the real
estate business or the business of investing in real estate (including
interests in limited partnerships owning or otherwise engaging in the
real estate business or the business of investing in real estate) and
securities which are secured by real estate or interests therein; (b)
holding or selling real estate received in connection with securities
it holds or held; (c) trading in futures contracts and options on
futures contracts (including options on currencies to the extent
consistent with the Funds' investment objective and policies); or (d)
investing in real estate investment trust securities.
8. Purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term
credits as are necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of
portfolio securities) or sell any securities short (except "against
the box"). For purposes of this restriction, the deposit or payment
by the Fund of underlying securities and other assets in escrow and
collateral agreements with respect to initial or maintenance margin in
connection with futures contracts and related options and options on
securities, indexes or similar items is not considered to be the
purchase of a security on margin.
9. Purchase or otherwise acquire any security if, as a result, more
than 15% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are
illiquid.
10. Invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the
securities of issuers having a record, including predecessors, of
less than three years of continuous operation, except U.S. government
securities. (For purposes of this restriction, issuers include
predecessors, sponsors, controlling persons, general guarantors and
originators of underlying assets.)
11. Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control.
12. Invest in securities of other investment companies, except as
they may be acquired as part of a merger, consolidation or
acquisition of assets and except for the purchase, to the extent
permitted by Section 12 of the 1940 Act, of shares of registered unit
investment trusts whose assets consist substantially of Municipal
Bonds.
13. Purchase or sell oil and gas interests.
14. Engage in the purchase and sale of put, call, straddle or spread
options or in writing of such options, except that the Fund may
purchase and sell options on interest rate futures contracts.
Certain restrictions listed above permit the Fund without shareholder
approval to engage in investment practices that the Fund does not
currently pursue. The Fund has no present intention of altering its
current investment practices as otherwise described in the Prospectus
and this SAI and any future change in those practices would require
Board approval and appropriate disclosure to investors.
For the purposes of Investment Restriction 3, private activity bonds,
where the payment of principal and interest is the ultimate
responsibility of companies within the same industry, are grouped
together as an "industry."
If any percentage restriction described above is complied with at the
time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting
from a change in the value of the assets will not constitute a violation
of such restriction. In order to permit the sale of the Fund's shares in
certain states, the Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the
restrictions listed above. Should the Fund determine that any such
commitment is no longer in the best interests of the Fund and its
shareholders, it will revoke the commitment by terminating sales of its
shares in the state involved.
Portfolio Transactions
Decisions to buy and sell securities for the Fund are made by the
Adviser, subject to the overall supervision and review of the Fund's
Board of Directors. Portfolio securities transactions are effected by
or under the supervision of the Adviser.
Newly issued securities normally are purchased directly from the
issuer or from an underwriter acting as a principal. Other purchases and
sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it appears that
the best price or execution will be obtained; those dealers may be
acting as either agents or principals. The purchase price paid by the
Fund to underwriters of newly issued securities usually includes a
concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases of
after-market securities from dealers normally are executed at a price
between the bid and asked prices. For the 1998, 1997 and 1996 fiscal
years, the Fund paid $156,030, $148,185 and $149,343 respectively, in
brokerage commissions.
Allocation of transactions, including their frequency, to various
dealers is determined by the Adviser in its best judgment and in a
manner deemed fair and reasonable to shareholders. The primary
considerations are the availability of the desired security and the
prompt execution of orders in an effective manner at the most favorable
prices. Subject to these considerations, dealers which provide
supplemental investment research and statistical or other services to
the Adviser may receive orders for transactions by the Fund. Information
so received enables the Adviser to supplement its own research and
analysis with the views and information of other securities firms. Such
information may be useful to the Adviser in serving both the Fund and
its other clients, and, conversely, supplemental information obtained by
the placement of business of other clients may be useful to the Adviser
in carrying out its obligations to the Fund.
The Fund will not purchase Municipal Bonds during the existence of
any underwriting or selling group relating thereto of which the Adviser
is a member, except to the extent permitted by the SEC. Under certain
circumstances, the Fund may be at a disadvantage because of this
limitation in comparison with other investment companies which have a
similar investment objective but which are not subject to this
limitation.
While investment decisions for the Fund are made independently from
those of the other accounts managed by the Adviser, investments of the
type the Fund may make also may be made by such other accounts. When the
Fund and one or more other accounts managed by the Adviser are prepared
to invest in, or desire to dispose of, the same security, available
investments or opportunities for sales will be allocated in a manner
believed by the Adviser to be equitable to each. In some cases this
procedure may adversely affect the price paid or received by the Fund or
the size of the position obtained or disposed of by the Fund.
Portfolio Turnover
While the Fund's portfolio turnover rate (the lesser of purchases or
sales of portfolio securities during the year, excluding purchases or
sales of short-term securities, divided by the monthly average value of
portfolio securities) is generally not expected to exceed 100%, it has
in the past exceeded 100%. The rate of turnover will not be a limiting
factor, however, when the Fund deems it desirable to sell or purchase
securities. This policy should not result in higher brokerage
commissions to the Fund, as purchases and sales of portfolio securities
are usually effected as principal transactions. Securities may be sold
in anticipation of a rise in interest rates (market decline) or
purchased in anticipation of a decline in interest rates (market rise)
and later sold. In addition, a security may be sold and another security
of comparable quality purchased at approximately the same time to take
advantage of what the Fund believes to be a temporary disparity in the
normal yield relationship between the two securities. These yield
disparities may occur for reasons not directly related to the investment
quality of particular issues or the general movement of interest rates,
such as changes in the overall demand for, or supply of, various types
of tax-exempt securities. For the 1998 and 1997 fiscal years, the Fund's
portfolio turnover rates were 110% and 103% respectively.
MUNICIPAL BONDS
General Information
Municipal Bonds generally are understood to include debt obligations
issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including
construction of a wide range of public facilities, refunding of
outstanding obligations, payment of general operating expenses and
extensions of loans to public institutions and facilities. Private
activity bonds that are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to
finance various privately operated facilities are included within the
term Municipal Bonds if the interest paid thereon qualifies as excluded
from gross income (but not necessarily from alternative minimum taxable
income) for Federal income tax purposes in the opinion of bond counsel
to the issuer.
In order to be classified as a diversified investment company under
the 1940 Act, the Fund may not, with respect to 75% of its assets,
invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one
issuer (except U.S. government securities) or own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. For the purposes of
diversification under the 1940 Act, the identification of the issuer of
Municipal Bonds depends upon the terms and conditions of the security.
When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or
other political subdivision are separate from those of the government
creating the issuing entity and the security is backed only by the
assets and revenues of such entity, such entity is deemed to be the sole
issuer. Similarly, in the case of a private activity bond, if that bond
is backed only by the assets and revenues of the nongovernmental user,
then such nongovernmental user is deemed to be the sole issuer. If,
however, in either case, the creating government or some other entity
guarantees a security, such a guarantee would be considered a separate
security and is to be treated as an issue of such government or other
entity.
The yield on Municipal Bonds is dependent on a variety of factors,
including general economic and monetary conditions, general money market
factors, general conditions of the Municipal Bond market, the financial
condition of the issuer, the size of a particular offering, maturity of
the obligation offered and the rating of the issue.
Municipal Bonds also may be subject to the provisions of bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of
creditors, such as the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and laws, if any, which
may be enacted by Congress or state legislatures extending the time for
payment of principal or interest, or both, or imposing other constraints
upon enforcement of such obligations or upon the ability of
municipalities to levy taxes. The possibility also exists that, as a
result of litigation or other conditions, the power or ability of any
one or more issuers to pay, when due, the principal of and interest on,
its or their Municipal Bonds may be materially and adversely affected.
When-Issued Securities
The Fund may purchase Municipal Bonds on a "when-issued" basis (i.e.,
for delivery beyond the normal settlement date at a stated price and
yield). The payment obligation and the interest rate that will be
received on the Municipal Bonds purchased on a when-issued basis are
each fixed at the time the buyer enters into the commitment. Although
the Fund will purchase Municipal Bonds on a when-issued basis only with
the intention of actually acquiring the securities, the Fund may sell
these securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable as
a matter of investment strategy.
Municipal Bonds are subject to changes in value based upon the
public's perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers and changes,
real or anticipated, in the level of interest rates. In general,
Municipal Bonds tend to appreciate when interest rates decline and
depreciate when interest rates rise. Purchasing Municipal Bonds on a
when-issued basis, therefore, can involve the risk that the yields
available in the market when the delivery takes place actually may be
higher than those obtained in the transaction itself. To account for
this risk, a segregated account of the Fund consisting of cash, debt
securities of any grade or equity securities, having a value equal to or
greater than the Fund's purchase commitments, provided such securities
have been determined by the Adviser to be liquid and unencumbered, and
are marked to market daily, pursuant to guidelines established by the
Board of Directors. If the market or fair value of such securities
declines, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on
a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of
such commitments by the Fund. Placing securities rather than cash in the
segregated account may have a leveraging effect on the Fund's net
assets. That is, to the extent the Fund remains substantially fully
invested in securities at the same time it has committed to purchase
securities on a when-issued basis, there will be greater fluctuations in
its net assets than if it had set aside cash to satisfy its purchase
commitments. Upon the settlement date of the when-issued securities, the
Fund will meet its obligations from then-available cash flow, sale of
securities held in the segregated account, sale of other securities or,
although it normally would not expect to do so, from the sale of the
when-issued securities themselves (which may have a value greater or
less than the Fund's payment obligations). Sales of securities to meet
such obligations may involve the realization of capital gains, which are
not exempt from Federal income taxes.
When the Fund engages in when-issued transactions, it relies on the
seller to consummate the trade. Failure of the seller to do so may
result in the Fund's incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to
obtain a price considered to be advantageous.
Municipal Leases
Municipal leases are municipal securities that may take the form of a
lease or an installment purchase contract issued by state and local
government authorities to obtain funds to acquire a wide variety of
equipment and facilities such as fire and sanitation vehicles, computer
equipment and other capital assets. These obligations have evolved to
make it possible for state and local government authorities to acquire
property and equipment without meeting constitutional and statutory
requirements for the issuance of debt. Thus, municipal leases have
special risks not normally associated with Municipal Bonds. These
obligations frequently contain "non-appropriation" clauses that provide
that the governmental issuer of the municipal lease has no obligation to
make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is
appropriated for such purposes by the legislative body on a yearly or
other periodic basis. In addition to the non-appropriation risk,
municipal leases represent a type of financing that has not yet
developed the depth of marketability associated with Municipal Bonds;
moreover, although the obligations will be secured by the leased
equipment, the disposition of the equipment in the event of foreclosure
might prove difficult. In order to limit the risks, the Fund will
purchase either (a) municipal leases that are rated in the four highest
categories by Moody's or S&P or (b) unrated municipal leases that are
purchased principally from domestic banks or other responsible third
parties that have entered into an agreement with the Fund providing the
seller will either remarket or repurchase the municipal leases within a
short period after demand by the Fund.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Volume Discounts
The schedule of sales charges on Class A shares described in the
Prospectus applies to purchases made by any "purchaser," which is
defined to include the following: (a) an individual; (b) an individual's
spouse and his or her children purchasing shares for his or her own
account; (c) a trustee or other fiduciary purchasing shares for a single
trust estate or single fiduciary account; and (d) a trustee or other
professional fiduciary (including a bank, or an investment adviser
registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended) purchasing shares of the Fund for one or more trust estates or
fiduciary accounts. Purchasers who wish to combine purchase orders to
take advantage of volume discounts should contact a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
Combined Right of Accumulation
Reduced sales charges, in accordance with the schedule in the
Prospectus, apply to any purchase of Class A shares if the aggregate
investment in Class A shares of the Fund and in Class A shares of other
Smith Barney Mutual Funds that are offered with a sales charge,
including the purchase being made, of any purchaser, is $25,000 or more.
The reduced sales charge is subject to confirmation of the shareholder's
holdings through a check of appropriate records. The Fund reserves the
right to terminate or amend the combined right of accumulation at any
time after written notice to shareholders. For further information
regarding the right of accumulation, shareholders should contact a Smith
Barney Financial Consultant.
Determination of Public Offering Price
The Fund offers its shares to the public on a continuous basis. The
public offering price for a Class A, Class L (effective June 12, 1998,
the former Class C shares were renamed Class L shares) and Class Y share
of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share at the time of
purchase, plus for Class A and Class L shares an initial sales charge
based on the aggregate amount of the investment. The public offering
price for a Class B share (and Class A share purchases, including
applicable rights of accumulation, equaling or exceeding $500,000), is
equal to the net asset value per share at the time of purchase and no
sales charge is imposed at the time of purchase. A contingent deferred
sales charge ("CDSC"), however, is imposed on certain redemptions of
Class B and Class L shares, and Class A shares when purchased in amounts
exceeding $500,000. The method of computation of the public offering
price is shown in the Fund's financial statements, incorporated by
reference in their entirety into this SAI.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
The right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment
postponed (a) for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange,
Inc. ("NYSE") is closed (other than for customary weekend and holiday
closings), (b) when trading in markets the Fund normally utilizes is
restricted, or an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, so that
disposal of the Fund's investments or determination of net asset value
is not reasonably practicable or (c) for such other periods as the SEC
by order may permit for protection of the Fund's shareholders.
Distribution in Kind
If the Board of Directors of the Fund determines that it would be
detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders to make
a redemption payment wholly in cash, the Fund may pay, in accordance
with SEC rules, any portion of a redemption in excess of the lesser of
$250,000 or 1% of the Fund's net assets by a distribution in kind of
portfolio securities in lieu of cash. Securities issued as a
distribution in kind may incur brokerage commissions when shareholders
subsequently sell those securities.
Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan
An automatic cash withdrawal plan (the "Withdrawal Plan") is available
to shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 and who
wish to receive specific amounts of cash monthly or quarterly.
Withdrawals of at least $50 may be made under the Withdrawal Plan by
redeeming as many shares of the Fund as may be necessary to cover the
stipulated withdrawal payment. Any applicable CDSC will not be waived on
amounts withdrawn by shareholders that exceed 1.00% per month of the
value of a shareholder's shares at the time the Withdrawal Plan
commences. (With respect to Withdrawal Plans in effect prior to November
7, 1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on amounts withdrawn that do
not exceed 2.00% per month of the value of a shareholder's shares at the
time the Withdrawal Plan commences.) To the extent withdrawals exceed
dividends, distributions and appreciation of a shareholder's investment
in the Fund, there will be a reduction in the value of the shareholder's
investment, and continued withdrawal payments will reduce the
shareholder's investment and may ultimately exhaust it. Withdrawal
payments should not be considered as income from investment in the Fund.
Furthermore, as it generally would not be advantageous to a shareholder
to make additional investments in the Fund at the same time he or she is
participating in the Withdrawal Plan, purchases by such shareholders in
amounts of less than $5,000 ordinarily will not be permitted.
Shareholders who wish to participate in the Withdrawal Plan and who
hold their shares in certificate form must deposit their share
certificates with the Transfer Agent as agent for Withdrawal Plan
members. All dividends and distributions on shares in the Withdrawal
Plan are reinvested automatically at net asset value in additional
shares of the Fund. Withdrawal Plans should be set up with a Smith
Barney Financial Consultant. A shareholder who purchases shares directly
through the Transfer Agent may continue to do so and applications for
participation in the Withdrawal Plan must be received by the Transfer
Agent no later than the eighth day of the month to be eligible for
participation beginning with that month's withdrawal. For additional
information, shareholders should contact a Smith Barney Financial
Consultant or their Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer
in the selling group.
DISTRIBUTOR
Smith Barney serves as the Fund's distributor on a best efforts basis
pursuant to a written agreement (the "Distribution Agreement"), which
was approved by the Fund's Board of Directors. For the 1996, 1997 and
1998 fiscal years, Smith Barney received $3,302,000, approximately
$3,800,000 and approximately $5,200,000 respectively, in sales charges
for the sale of the Fund's Class A shares, and did not reallow any
portion thereof to dealers. For the 1998 fiscal year, Smith Barney
received $194,000 of CDSC on redemption of the Fund's Class A shares.
For the 1996, 1997 and 1998 fiscal years, Smith Barney received
$1,079,000, $1,140,000 and $1,275,000 respectively, representing CDSC
on redemption of the Fund's Class B shares. For the period ended
February 28, 1996 and the 1997 and 1998 fiscal years, Smith Barney
received $6,000, $18,000 and $29,000, respectively, representing CDSC
on redemption of the Fund's Class L shares.
When payment is made by the investor before settlement date, unless
otherwise requested in writing by the investor, the funds will be held
as a free credit balance in the investor's brokerage account and Smith
Barney may benefit from the temporary use of the funds. The investor may
designate another use for the funds prior to settlement date, such as an
investment in a money market fund (other than Smith Barney Exchange
Reserve Fund) of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds. If the investor
instructs Smith Barney to invest the funds in a Smith Barney money
market fund, the amount of the investment will be included as part of
the average daily net assets of both the Fund and the money market fund,
and affiliates of Smith Barney that serve the funds in an investment
advisory or administrative capacity will benefit from the fact that they
are receiving fees from both such investment companies for managing
these assets, computed on the basis of their average daily net assets.
The Fund's Board of Directors has been advised of the benefits to Smith
Barney resulting from these settlement procedures and will take such
benefits into consideration when reviewing the Advisory, Administration
and Distribution Agreements for continuance.
For the calendar year ended December 31, 1997, Smith Barney incurred
distribution expenses totaling approximately $17,123,067 consisting of
approximately $915,817 for advertising, $71,336 for printing and mailing
of prospectuses, $5,457,737 for support services, $10,318,920 to Smith
Barney Financial Consultants and $359,257 in accruals for interest on
the excess of Smith Barney expenses incurred in distribution of the
Fund's shares over the sum of the distribution fees and CDSC received by
Smith Barney from the Fund.
Distribution Arrangements
To compensate Smith Barney for the services it provides and for the
expense it bears under the Distribution Agreement, the Fund has adopted
a services and distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund pays Smith Barney a service
fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, calculated at the annual rate of
0.15% of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable
to the Class A, Class B and Class L shares. In addition, the Fund pays
Smith Barney a distribution fee with respect to the Class B and Class L
shares primarily intended to compensate Smith Barney for its initial
expense of paying its Financial Consultants a commission upon sales of
those shares. The Class B distribution fee is calculated at the annual
rate of 0.50% of the value of the Fund's average net assets attributable
to the shares of the Class. The Class L distribution fee is calculated
at the annual rate of 0.55% of the value of the Fund's average net
assets attributable to the shares of the Class.
The following service and distribution fees of the Plan were incurred
during the fiscal years ended as indicated:
2/28/98
2/28/97
2/29/96
Class A
$3,247,646
$2,875,192
$2,752,983
Class B
6,535,992
5,246,869
4,012,541
Class L
683,634
361,832
117,434
For the 1996, 1997 and 1998 fiscal years, Smith Barney received
$6,882,959, $8,483,893, and $10,467,272 respectively, in the aggregate
from the Plan.
Under its terms, the Plan continues from year to year, provided such
continuance is approved annually by vote of the Board of Directors,
including a majority of the Independent Directors who have no direct or
indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in the
Distribution Agreement. The Plan may not be amended to increase the
amount of the service and distribution fees without shareholder
approval, and all amendments of the Plan also must be approved by the
Directors and the Independent Directors in the manner described above.
The Plan may be terminated with respect to a Class at any time, without
penalty, by vote of a majority of the Independent Directors or by vote
of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Class (as
defined in the 1940 Act). Pursuant to the Plan, Smith Barney will
provide the Board of Directors with periodic reports of amounts expended
under the Plan and the purpose for which such expenditures were made.
VALUATION OF SHARES
Each Class' net asset value per share is calculated on each day, Monday
through Friday, except days on which the NYSE is closed. The NYSE
currently is scheduled to be closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther
King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence
Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and on the preceding Friday
or subsequent Monday when one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or
Sunday, respectively. Because of the differences in distribution fees
and Class-specific expenses, the per share net asset value of each Class
may differ. The following is a description of the procedures used by the
Fund in valuing its assets.
The valuation of the Fund's assets is made by MMC after consultation
with an independent pricing service (the "Service") approved by the
Board of Directors. When, in the judgment of the Service, quoted bid
prices for investments are readily available and are representative of
the bid side of the market, these investments are valued at the mean
between the quoted bid and asked prices. Investments for which, in the
judgment of the Service, there is no readily obtainable market quotation
(which may constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are
carried at fair value as determined by the Service. For the most part,
such investments are liquid and may be readily sold. The Service may
employ electronic data processing techniques and/or a matrix system to
determine valuations. The procedures of the Service are reviewed
periodically by the officers of the Fund under the general supervision
and responsibility of the Board of Directors, which may replace any such
Service at any time if it determines it to be in the best interests of
the Fund to do so.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Except as noted below, shareholders of any Smith Barney Mutual Fund may
exchange all or part of their shares for shares of the same Class of
other Smith Barney Mutual Funds, to the extent such shares are offered
for sale in the shareholder's state of residence, on the basis of
relative net asset value per share at the time of exchange as follows:
A. Class A and Class Y shareholders of the Fund who wish to
exchange all or a portion of their shares for shares of the
respective Class in any of the funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Fund
Complex may do so without imposition of any charge.
B. Class B shares of any fund may be exchanged without a sales
charge. Class B shares of the Fund exchanged for Class B shares of
another fund will be subject to the higher applicable CDSC of the two
funds. Upon an exchange, the new Class B shares will be deemed to
have been purchased on the same date as the Class B shares of the
Fund that have been exchanged.
C. Upon an exchange, the new Class L shares will be deemed to have
been purchased on the same date as the Class L shares of the fund
that have been exchanged.
Dealers other than Smith Barney must notify the Transfer Agent of the
investor's prior ownership of Class A shares of Smith Barney High Income
Fund and the account number in order to accomplish an exchange of shares
of Smith Barney High Income Fund under paragraph B above.
The exchange privilege enables shareholders to acquire shares of the
same Class in a fund with different investment objectives when they
believe that a shift between funds is an appropriate investment
decision. This privilege is available to shareholders residing in any
state in which the Fund shares being acquired may legally be sold. Prior
to any exchange, the shareholder should obtain and review a copy of the
current prospectus of each fund into which an exchange is being
considered. Prospectuses may be obtained from a Smith Barney Financial
Consultant.
Upon receipt of proper instructions and all necessary supporting
documents, shares submitted for exchange are redeemed at the then-
current net asset value and, subject to any applicable CDSC, the
proceeds are immediately invested, at a price as described above, in
shares of the fund being acquired. Smith Barney reserves the right to
reject any exchange request. The exchange privilege may be modified or
terminated at any time after written notice to shareholders.
PERFORMANCE DATA
From time to time, the Fund may quote yield or total return of a Class
in advertisements or in reports and other communications to
shareholders. The Fund may include comparative performance information
in advertising or marketing the Fund's shares. Such performance
information may include data from the following industry and financial
publications: Barron's, Business Week, CDA Investment Technologies,
Inc., Changing Times, Forbes, Fortune, Institutional Investor, Investors
Daily, Money, Morningstar Mutual Fund Values, The New York Times, USA
Today and The Wall Street Journal. To the extent any advertisement or
sales literature of the Fund describes the expenses or performance of
any Class it will also disclose such information for the other Classes.
Yield
The 30-day yield figure described below is calculated according to a
formula prescribed by the SEC. The formula can be expressed as follows:
YIELD =2 [ ( a-b +1)6 - 1]
cd
Where: a = Dividends and interest earned during the period.
b = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursement).
c = The average daily number of shares outstanding during
the period that were entitled to receive dividends.
d = The maximum offering price per share on the last day of
the period.
For the purpose of determining the interest earned (variable "a" in
the formula) on debt obligations that were purchased by the Fund at a
discount or premium, the formula generally calls for amortization of the
discount or premium; the amortization schedule will be adjusted monthly
to reflect changes in the market values of the debt obligations.
The Fund's equivalent taxable 30-day yield for a Class is computed by
dividing that portion of the Class' 30-day yield which is tax-exempt by
one minus a stated income tax rate and adding the product to that
portion, if any, of the Class' yield that is not tax-exempt.
The yield on municipal securities is dependent upon a variety of
factors, including general economic and monetary conditions, conditions
of the municipal securities market, size of a particular offering,
maturity of the obligation offered and rating of the issue. Investors
should recognize that, in periods of declining interest rates, the
Fund's yield for each Class of shares will tend to be somewhat higher
than prevailing market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates
the Fund's yield for each Class of shares will tend to be somewhat
lower. In addition, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net
new money to the Fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely
be invested in portfolio instruments producing lower yields than the
balance of the Fund's portfolio, thereby reducing the current yield of
the Fund. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be
expected to occur.
The Fund's yield for Class A, Class B and Class L shares for the 30-
day period ended February 28, 1998 was 4.49%, 4.16% , 4.11% and 4.85%,
respectively. The equivalent taxable yield for the same period was
6.51%, 6.03%, 5.96% and 7.03%, respectively, assuming the payment of
Federal income taxes at a rate of 31%.
Average Annual Total Return
"Average annual total return" figures, as described below, are computed
according to a formula prescribed by the SEC. The formula can be
expressed as follows:
P (1+T)n = ERV
Where: P = A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
T = Average annual total return.
n = Number of years.
ERV = Ending Redeemable Value of a hypothetical $1,000
investment made at the beginning of a 1-, 5-, or 10-
year period at the end of the 1-, 5-, or 10-year
period (or fractional portion thereof), assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.
The following average annual total return figures for Class A assume
that the maximum 4.00% sales charge has been deducted from the
investment at the time of purchase and have been restated to show the
change in the maximum sales charge. The Fund's average annual total
return for Class A shares were as follows for the periods indicated:
7.81% for the one-year period beginning March 1, 1997 through February
28, 1998;
6.99% per annum during the five-year period beginning on March 1, 1993
through February 28, 1998; and
8.79% per annum during the ten-year period beginning on March 1, 1988
through February 28, 1998.
If the maximum 4.00% sales charge had not been deducted at the time of
purchase, the Class A average annual total return for the same periods
would have been 12.30%, 7.87% and 9.24%, respectively.
The Fund's average annual total return for Class B shares assuming
deduction of the maximum applicable CDSC was as follows for the periods
indicated:
7.31% for the one-year period beginning March 1, 1997 through February
28, 1998;
7.17% per annum during the five-year period beginning March 1, 1993
through February 28, 1998; and
9.04% per annum during the period from inception (November 6, 1992)
through February 28, 1998.
The Fund's average annual total return for Class B shares without the
CDSC was as follows for the periods indicated:
11.81% for the one-year period beginning March 1, 1997 through February
28, 1998;
7.32% per annum during the five-year period beginning March 1, 1993
through February 28, 1998; and
9.04% per annum during the period from inception (November 6, 1992)
through February 28, 1998.
The Fund's average annual total return for Class L shares assuming
deduction of the maximum applicable CDSC was as follows for the periods
indicated:
10.69% for the one-year period beginning March 1, 1997 through February
28, 1998; and
11.75% per annum during the period from inception (November 9, 1994)
through February 28, 1998.
The Fund's average annual total return for Class L shares without the
CDSC was as follows for the periods indicated:
11.69% for the one-year period beginning March 1, 1997 through February
28, 1998; and
11.75% per annum during the period from inception (November 9, 1994)
through February 28, 1998.
The Fund's average annual total return for Class Y shares was 12.56% for
the one-year period beginning March 1, 1997 through February 28, 1998;
and 9.25% during the period from inception (April 4, 1995) through
February 28, 1998.
Aggregate Total Return
Aggregate total return figures, as described below, represent the
cumulative change in the value of an investment in the Class for the
specified period and are computed by the following formula:
ERV - P
P
Where: P = A hypothetical initial payment of $10,000.
ERV = Ending Redeemable Value of a hypothetical $10,000
investment made at the beginning of a 1-, 5-, or
10-year period at the end of the 1-, 5-, or 10-year period
(or fractional portion thereof), assuming reinvestment
of all dividends and distributions.
The Fund's aggregate total returns for Class A shares were as follows
for the periods indicated:
7.81% for the one-year period beginning March 1, 1997 through February
28, 1998;
40.2% for the five-year period beginning March 1, 1993 through February
28, 1998; and
132.26% for the ten-year period beginning March 1, 1988 through February
28, 1998.
These aggregate total return figures do not assume that the maximum
4.00% sales charge has been deducted from the investment at the time of
purchase. If the sales charge had been deducted at the time of purchase,
the aggregate total return for Class A shares for those same periods
would have been 12.3%, 46.07%, and 141.98%, respectively. The aggregate
total return figures have been restated to show the change in the
maximum sales charge.
The Fund's aggregate total return for Class B shares was as follows
for the periods indicated:
7.31% for the one year period beginning March 1, 1997 through February
28, 1998; and
58.41% for the period from November 6, 1992 (inception) through February
28, 1998.
These figures do not assume that the maximum 4.50% CDSC assessed by
the Fund has been deducted from the investment at the time of purchase.
If the maximum CDSC had been deducted at the time of purchase, the
Fund's aggregate total return for Class B shares for the same periods
would have been 11.81% and 58.41%, respectively.
The Fund's aggregate total return for Class L shares was as follows for
the periods indicated:
10.69% for the one year period beginning March 1, 1997 through February
28, 1998; and
44.38% for the period beginning November 9, 1994 (inception) through
February 28, 1998.
These figures do not assume that the maximum 1% CDSC assessed by the
Fund has been deducted from the investment at the time of purchase. If
the maximum CDSC had been deducted at the time of purchase, the Fund's
aggregate total return for the same periods would have been 11.69% and
44.38%.
The Fund's aggregate total return for Class Y shares was 12.56% for
the one year period beginning March 1, 1997 through February 28, 1998
and was 29.33% during the period from April 4, 1995 (inception) through
February 28, 1998.
It is important to note that the total return figures set forth above
are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future
performance. Each Class' net investment income changes in response to
fluctuation in interest rates and the expenses of the Fund. Performance
will vary from time to time depending upon market conditions, the
composition of the Fund's portfolio and operating expenses and the
expenses exclusively attributable to the Class. Consequently, any given
performance quotation should not be considered representative of the
Class' performance for any specified period in the future. Because
performance will vary, it may not provide a basis for comparing an
investment in the Class with certain bank deposits or other investments
that pay a fixed yield for a stated period of time. Investors comparing
a Class' performance with that of other mutual funds should give
consideration to the quality and maturity of the respective investment
companies' portfolio securities.
TAXES
The following is a summary of selected Federal income tax considerations
that may affect the Fund and its shareholders. The summary is not
intended as a substitute for individual tax advice and investors are
urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of an
investment in the Fund.
As described above and in the Prospectus, the Fund is designed to
provide shareholders with current income which is excluded from gross
income for regular Federal income tax purposes. The Fund is not intended
to constitute a balanced investment program and is not designed for
investors seeking capital gains or maximum tax-exempt income
irrespective of fluctuations in principal. Investment in the Fund would
not be suitable for tax-exempt institutions, qualified retirement plans,
H.R. 10 plans and individual retirement accounts because such investors
would not gain any additional tax benefit from the receipt of tax-exempt
income.
The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify each year
as a regulated investment company under the Code. Provided that the Fund
(a) is a regulated investment company and (b) distributes at least 90%
of its taxable net investment income (including, for this purpose, its
net realized short-term capital gains) and 90% of its tax-exempt
interest income (reduced by certain expenses), the Fund will not be
liable for Federal income taxes to the extent its taxable net investment
income and its net realized long-term and short-term capital gains, if
any, are distributed to its shareholders. Any such taxes paid by the
Fund would reduce the amount of income and gains available for
distribution to shareholders.
Because the Fund will distribute exempt-interest dividends, interest
on indebtedness incurred by a shareholder to purchase or carry Fund
shares is not deductible for Federal income tax purposes. If a
shareholder receives exempt-interest dividends with respect to any share
and if such share is held by the shareholder for six months or less,
then any loss on the sale or exchange of such share may, to the extent
of such exempt-interest dividends, be disallowed. In addition, the Code
may require a shareholder, if he or she receives exempt-interest
dividends, to treat as Federal taxable income a portion of certain
otherwise non-taxable social security and railroad retirement benefit
payments. Furthermore, that portion of any exempt-interest dividend paid
by the Fund which represents income derived from private activity bonds
held by the Fund may not retain its tax-exempt status in the hands of a
shareholder who is a "substantial user" of a facility financed by such
bonds, or a "related person" thereof. Moreover, (a) some or all of the
Fund's dividends may be a specific preference item, or a component of an
adjustment item, for purposes of the Federal individual and corporate
alternative minimum taxes and (b) the receipt of Fund dividends and
distributions may affect a corporate shareholder's Federal
"environmental" tax liability, if such tax is reinstated as proposed by
President Clinton. In addition, the receipt of Fund dividends and
distributions may affect a foreign corporate shareholder's Federal
"branch profits" tax liability and the Federal "excess net passive
income" tax liability of a shareholder of a Subchapter S corporation.
Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to whether they
are (a) substantial users with respect to a facility or related to such
users within the meaning of the Code or (b) subject to a Federal
alternative minimum tax, the Federal environmental tax, the Federal
branch profits tax, or the Federal "excess net passive income" tax.
As described above and in the Fund's Prospectus, the Fund may invest
in municipal bond index futures and financial futures contracts, as well
as, options on municipal bond index futures, interest rate futures and
financial futures contracts. As a general rule, these investment
activities will increase or decrease the amount of long-term and short-
term capital gains or losses realized by the Fund and, accordingly, will
affect the amount of capital gains distributed to the Fund's
shareholders. For Federal income tax purposes, gain or loss on futures
contracts and options (collectively referred to as "section 1256
contracts") is taxed pursuant to a special "mark-to-market system."
Under the mark-to-market system, these instruments are treated as if
sold at the Fund's fiscal year end for their fair market value. As a
result, the Fund will be recognizing gains or losses before they are
actually realized. As a general rule, gain or loss on section 1256
contracts is treated as 60% long-term capital gain or loss and 40%
short-term capital gain or loss and, accordingly, the mark-to-market
system generally will affect the amount of net capital gains or losses
recognized by the Fund and the amount of distributions taxable to a
shareholder. Moreover, if the Fund invests in both section 1256
contracts and offsetting positions in such contracts, which together
constitute a straddle, then the Fund may be required to defer certain
realized losses. The Fund expects that its activities with respect to
section 1256 contracts and offsetting positions in those contracts will
not cause it to be treated as recognizing a materially greater amount of
capital gains than actually realized and will permit it to use
substantially all of its losses in those fiscal years in which such
losses actually occur.
Long-term capital gains, if any, will be distributed as described in
the Fund's Prospectus. Such distributions ("capital gain dividends")
will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains, regardless
of how long they have held Fund shares, and will be designated as
capital gain dividends in a written notice mailed by the Fund to the
shareholders within 60 days after the close of the taxable year. If a
shareholder receives a capital gain dividend with respect to any share
and if the share has been held by the shareholder for six months or
less, then any loss (to the extent not disallowed pursuant to the six-
month rule described above relating to exempt-interest dividends) on the
sale or exchange of such share, to the extent of the capital gain
dividend, shall be treated as a long-term capital loss.
If a shareholder incurs a sales charge when acquiring shares of the
Fund, disposes of those shares within 90 days and then acquires shares
in a mutual fund for which the otherwise applicable sales charge is
reduced by reason of a reinvestment right (that is, exchange privilege),
the original sales charge will not be taken into account in computing
gain or loss on the original shares to the extent the subsequent sales
charge is reduced. Instead, it will be added to the tax basis in the
newly acquired shares. Furthermore, the same rule also applies to a
disposition of the newly acquired shares made within 90 days of the
second acquisition. This provision prevents a shareholder from
immediately deducting the sales charge by shifting his or her investment
within a family of mutual funds.
Each shareholder will receive after the close of the calendar year an
annual statement as to the Federal income tax status of his or her
dividends and distributions from the Fund. These statements also will
designate the amount of exempt-interest dividends that is a specific
preference item for purposes of the Federal individual and corporate
alternative minimum taxes. Each shareholder also will receive, if
appropriate, various written notices after the close of the Fund's
taxable year as to the Federal income tax status of his or her dividends
and distributions. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to
any state and local taxes that may apply to these dividends and
distributions. The dollar amount of dividends excluded from regular
Federal income taxation and the dollar amount subject to regular Federal
income taxation, if any, will vary for each shareholder depending upon
the size and duration of each shareholder's investment in the Fund.
Investors considering buying shares of the Fund just prior to a
record date for a capital gain distribution should be aware that,
regardless of whether the price of the Fund shares to be purchased
reflects the amount of the forthcoming distribution payment, any such
payment will be a distribution payment.
If a shareholder fails to furnish a correct taxpayer identification
number, fails to fully report dividend and interest income, or fails to
certify that he or she has provided a correct taxpayer identification
number and that he or she is not subject to such withholding, the
shareholder may be subject to a 31% "backup withholding" tax with
respect to (a) taxable dividends and distributions and (b) any proceeds
of any redemptions of Fund shares. An individual's taxpayer
identification number is his or her social security number. The backup
withholding tax is not an additional tax and may be credited against a
shareholder's regular Federal income tax liability.
The foregoing is only a summary of certain tax considerations
generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders, and is not intended
as a substitute for careful tax planning. Individuals are often exempt
from state and local personal income taxes on distributions of tax-
exempt interest income derived from obligations of issuers located in
the state in which they reside when these distributions are received
directly from these issuers, but are usually subject to such taxes on
income derived from obligations of issuers located in other
jurisdictions. Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors with
specific reference to their own tax situations.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Fund's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998 is
incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
APPENDIX A
Description of S&P and Moody's ratings:
S&P Ratings for Municipal Bonds
S&P's Municipal Bond ratings cover obligations of states and political
subdivisions. Ratings are assigned to general obligation and revenue
bonds. General obligation bonds are usually secured by all resources
available to the municipality and the factors outlined in the rating
definitions below are weighed in determining the rating. Because revenue
bonds in general are payable from specifically pledged revenues, the
essential element in the security for a revenue bond is the quantity and
quality of the pledged revenues available to pay debt service.
Although an appraisal of most of the same factors that bear on the
quality of general obligation bond credit is usually appropriate in the
rating analysis of a revenue bond, other factors are important,
including particularly the competitive position of the municipal
enterprise under review and the basic security covenants. Although a
rating reflects S&P's judgment as to the issuer's capacity for the
timely payment of debt service, in certain instances it may also reflect
a mechanism or procedure for an assured and prompt cure of a default,
should one occur, i.e., an insurance program, Federal or state guarantee
or the automatic withholding and use of state aid to pay the defaulted
debt service.
The ratings are based, in varying degrees, on the following
considerations:
I. Likelihood of default - capacity and willingness of the
obligor as to the timely payment of interest and repayment
of principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation;
II. Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and
III. Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the
obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization or
other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other
laws affecting creditors' rights.
AAA - This is the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's to a
debt obligation and indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay
interest and repay principal.
AA - Bonds rated AA have a very strong capacity to pay interest and
repay principal, and in the majority of instances they differ from AAA
issues only in small degrees.
A - Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal, 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 capacity to
pay interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for bonds in this category than for bonds
in the higher-rated categories.
BB - An obligation rated BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than
other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties
or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which
could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation.
B - An obligation rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than
obligations rated BB, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial,
or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or
willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
CCC - An obligation rated CCC is currently vulnerable to nonpayment,
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic
conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation.
CC - An obligation rated CC is currently highly vulnerable to
nonpayment.
C - The C rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy
petition has been filed or similar action has been taken, but payments
on this obligation are being continued.
D - An obligation rated D is in payment default. The D rating
category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date
due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard
& Poor's believes that such payments will be made during such grace
period. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy
petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation
are jeopardized.
Plus(+) or minus(-) - The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by
the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within
the major rating categories.
P - The letter P following a rating indicates the rating is
provisional. A provisional rating assumes the successful completion of
the project being financed by the issuance of the bonds being rated and
indicates that payment of debt service requirements is largely or
entirely dependent upon the successful and timely completion of the
project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality
subsequent to completion, makes no comment on the likelihood of, or the
risk of default upon failure of, such completion. Accordingly, the
investor should exercise his own judgment with respect to such
likelihood and risk.
L - The letter L indicates that the rating pertains to the principal
amount of those bonds to the extent that the underlying deposit
collateral is federally insured, and interest is adequately
collateralized. In the case of certificates of deposit, the letter L
indicates that the deposit, combined with other deposits being held in
the same right and capacity, will be honored for principal and pre-
default interest up to federal insurance limits within 30 days after
closing of the insured institution or, in the event that the deposit is
assumed by a successor insured institution, upon maturity.
Conditional rating(s), indicated by "Con" are given to bonds for
which the continuance of the security rating is contingent upon Standard
& Poor's receipt of an executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing
documentation confirming investments and cash flows and/or the security
rating is conditional upon the issuance of insurance by the respective
insurance company.
NR - Not rated.
S&P Ratings for Municipal Notes
Municipal notes with maturities of three years or less are usually given
note ratings (designated SP-1, -2 or -3) by S&P to distinguish more
clearly the credit quality of notes as compared to bonds. Notes rated
SP-1 have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue
determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is
given a plus(+) designation. Notes rated SP-2 have a satisfactory
capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to
adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes. Notes
rated SP-3 have speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.
Commercial Paper Ratings
A-1 - This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding
timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely
strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+)
designation.
A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as
for issues designated A-1.
A-3 - Issues carrying this designation have an adequate capacity for
timely payment. They are, however, more vulnerable to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher
designations.
B - Issues rated B are regarded as having only speculative capacity
for timely payment.
C - This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with a
doubtful capacity for payment.
D - Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is
used when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the
due date, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless
Standard & Poor's believes such payments will be made during such grace
period.
Moody's Ratings for Municipal Bonds
Aaa - Bonds which are Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred
to as "gilt edge.'' 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 which are 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 risks
appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
A - Bonds which are 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 which are 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 which are 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 which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of
maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time
may be small.
Caa - Bonds that are rated Caa are of poor standing. These issues may
be in default or present elements of danger may exist with respect to
principal or interest.
Ca - Bonds that are rated Ca represent obligations that are
speculative in a high degree. These issues are often in default or have
other marked short-comings.
C - Bonds that are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds, and
issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of
ever attaining any real investment standing.
Rating symbols may include numerical modifiers "1," "2", or "3". The
numerical modifier "1" indicates that the security ranks at the high
end, "2" in the mid-range, and "3" nearer the low end of the generic
category. These modifiers of rating symbols "Aa", "A" and "Baa" are to
give investors a more precise indication of relative debt quality in
each of the historically defined categories.
Moody's Ratings for Municipal Notes
Moody's ratings for state and municipal notes and other short-term loans
are designated Moody's Investment Grade ("MIG") and for variable rate
demand obligations are designated Variable Moody's Investment Grade
("VMIG"). This distinction is in recognition of the differences between
short-term credit risk and long-term risk. Loans bearing the designation
MIG 1 or VMIG 1 are of the best quality, enjoying strong protection by
established cash flows of funds for their servicing, superior liquidity
support or from established and broad-based access to the market for
refinancing or both. Loans bearing the designation MIG 2 or VMIG 2 are
of high quality, with ample margins of protection although not as large
as the preceding group. Loans bearing the designation MIG 3 or VMIG 3
are of favorable quality, with all security elements accounted for, but
lacking the undeniable strength of the preceding grades. Liquidity and
cash flow may be narrow and market access for refinancing is likely to
be less well established.
Description of Moody's Prime-1 Commercial Paper Rating
The rating Prime-1 is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by
Moody's. Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning ratings
are the following: (a) evaluation of the management of the issuer; (b)
economic evaluation of the issuer's industry or industries and an
appraisal of speculative-type risks which may be inherent in certain
areas; (c) evaluation of the issuer's products in relation to
competition and customer acceptance; (d) liquidity; (e) amount and
quality of long-term debt; (f) trend of earnings over a period of ten
years; (g) financial strength of a parent company and the relationships
which exist with the issuer; and (h) recognition by the management of
obligations which may be present or may arise as a result of public
interest questions and preparations to meet such obligations.

Rule 18f-3 (d) Multiple Class Plan for Smith Barney Mutual Funds
Introduction
This plan (the "Plan") is adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 (d) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The
purpose of the Plan is to restate the existing arrangements previously
approved by the Boards of Directors and Trustees of certain of the open-
end investment companies set forth on Schedule A (the "Funds" and each a
"Fund") distributed by Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") under the
Funds' existing order of exemption (Investment Company Act Release Nos.
20042 (January 28,
1994) (notice) and 20090 (February 23, 1994)). Shares of the Funds are
distributed pursuant to a system (the "Multiple Class System") in which
each class of shares (a "Class") of a Fund represents a pro rata
interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and differs
only to the extent outlined below.
I. Distribution Arrangements and Service Fees
One or more Classes of shares of the Funds are offered for purchase by
investors with the following sales load structure. In addition,
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Rule"), the Funds have
each adopted a plan (the "Services and Distribution Plan") under which
shares of the Classes are subject to the services and distribution fees
described below.
1. Class A Shares
Class A shares are offered with a front-end sales load and under the
Services and Distribution Plan are subject to a service fee of up to
0.25% of average daily net assets. In addition, the Funds are permitted
to assess a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") on certain
redemptions of Class A shares sold pursuant to a complete waiver of
front-end sales loads applicable to large purchases, if the shares are
redeemed within one year of the date of purchase. This waiver applies
to sales of Class A shares where the amount of purchase is equal to or
exceeds $500,000 although this amount may be changed in the future.
2. Class B Shares
Class B shares are offered without a front-end sales load, but are
subject to a five-year declining CDSC and under the Services and
Distribution Plan are subject to a service fee at an annual rate of up
to 0.25% of average daily net assets and a distribution fee at an annual
rate of up to 0.75% of average daily net assets.
3. Class D Shares
Class D shares are offered without a front-end sales load, CDSC, service
fee or distribution fee.
4. Class L Shares
Class L shares are offered with a front-end load, are subject to a one-
year CDSC and under the Services and Distribution Plan are subject to a
service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets
and a distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.75% of average daily
net assets. Unlike Class B shares, Class L shares do not have the
conversion feature as discussed below and accordingly, these shares are
subject to a distribution fee for an indefinite period of time. The
Funds reserve the right to impose these fees at such higher rates as may
be determined.
5. Class I Shares
Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales load, but are
subject under the Services and Distribution Plan to a service fee at an
annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets.
6. Class O Shares
Class O shares are offered without a front-end load, but are subject to
a one-year CDSC and under the Services and Distribution Plan are subject
to a service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net
assets and a distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of
average daily net assets. Unlike Class B shares, Class O shares do not
have the conversion feature as discussed below and accordingly, these
shares are subject to a distribution fee for an indefinite period of
time. The Funds reserve the right to impose these fees at such higher
rates as may be determined.
Effective June __, 1999, Class O share will be offered with a front-end
load and will continue to be subject to a one year CDSC, a service fee
at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets and a
distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of average daily net
assets.
7. Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are offered without imposition of either a sales charge
or a service or distribution fee for investments where the amount of
purchase is equal to or exceeds a specific amount as specified in each
Fund's prospectus.
8. Class Z Shares
Class Z shares are offered without imposition of either a sales charge
or a service or distribution fee for purchase (i) by employee benefit
and retirement plans of Smith Barney and its affiliates, (ii) by certain
unit investment trusts sponsored by Smith Barney and its affiliates, and
(iii) although not currently authorized by the governing boards of the
Funds, when and if authorized, (x) by employees of Smith Barney and its
affiliates and (y) by directors, general partners or trustees of any
investment company for which Smith Barney serves as a distributor and,
for each of (x) and (y), their spouses and minor children.
9. Additional Classes of Shares
The Boards of Directors and Trustees of the Funds have the authority to
create additional classes, or change existing Classes, from time to
time, in accordance with Rule 18f-3 of the 1940 Act.
II. Expense Allocations
Under the Multiple Class System, all expenses incurred by a Fund are
allocated among the various Classes of shares based on the net assets of
the Fund attributable to each Class, except that each Class's net asset
value and expenses reflect the expenses associated with that Class under
the Fund's Services and Distribution Plan, including any costs
associated with obtaining shareholder approval of the Services and
Distribution Plan (or an amendment thereto) and any expenses specific to
that Class. Such expenses are limited to the following:
(i) transfer agency fees as identified by the transfer agent as
being attributable to a specific Class;
(ii) printing and postage expenses related to preparing and
distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses and
proxies to current shareholders;
(iii) Blue Sky registration fees incurred by a Class of shares;
(iv) Securities and Exchange Commission registration fees
incurred by a Class of shares;
(v) the expense of administrative personnel and services as
required to support the shareholders of a specific Class;
(vi) litigation or other legal expenses relating solely to one
Class of shares; and
(vii) fees of members of the governing boards of the funds
incurred as a result of issues relating to one Class of shares.
Pursuant to the Multiple Class System, expenses of a Fund allocated to a
particular Class of shares of that Fund are borne on a pro rata basis by
each outstanding share of that Class.
III. Conversion Rights of Class B Shares
All Class B shares of each Fund will automatically convert to Class A
shares after a certain holding period, expected to be, in most cases,
approximately eight years but may be shorter. Upon the expiration of
the holding period, Class B shares (except those purchases through the
reinvestment of dividends and other distributions paid in respect of
Class B shares) will automatically convert to Class A shares of the Fund
at the relative net asset value of each of the Classes, and will, as a
result, thereafter be subject to the lower fee under the Services and
Distribution Plan. For purposes of calculating the holding period
required for conversion, newly created Class B shares issued after the
date of implementation of the Multiple Class System are deemed to have
been issued on (i) the date on which the issuance of the Class B shares
occurred or (ii) for Class B shares obtained through an exchange, or a
series of exchanges, the date on which the issuance of the original
Class B shares occurred.
Shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends and other
distributions paid in respect of Class B shares are also Class B shares.
However, for purposes of conversion to Class A, all Class B shares in a
shareholder's Fund account that were purchased through the reinvestment
of dividends and other distributions paid in respect of Class B shares
(and that have not converted to Class A shares as provided in the
following sentence) are considered to be held in a separate sub-account.
Each time any Class B shares in the shareholder's Fund account (other
than those in the sub-account referred to in the preceding
sentence) convert to Class A, a pro rata portion of the Class B shares
then in the sub-account also converts to Class A. The portion is
determined by the ratio that the shareholder's Class B shares converting
to Class A bears to the shareholder's total Class B shares not acquired
through dividends and distributions.
The conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares is subject to the
continuing availability of a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service that
payment of different dividends on Class A and Class B shares does not
result in the Fund's dividends or distributions constituting
"preferential dividends" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and the continuing availability of an opinion of
counsel to the effect that the conversion of shares does not constitute
a taxable event under the Code. The conversion of Class B shares to
Class A shares may be suspended if this opinion is no longer available,
In the event that conversion of Class B shares does not occur, Class B
shares would continue to be subject to the distribution fee and any
incrementally higher transfer agency costs attending the Class B shares
for an indefinite period.
IV. Exchange Privileges
Shareholders of a Fund may exchange their shares at net asset value for
shares of the same Class in certain other of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds as set forth in the prospectus for such Fund. Funds only permit
exchanges into shares of money market funds having a plan under the Rule
if, as permitted by paragraph (b) (5) of Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act,
either (i) the time period during which the shares of the money market
funds are held is included in the calculations of the CDSC or (ii) the
time period is not included but the amount of the CDSC is reduced by the
amount of any payments made under a plan adopted pursuant to the Rule by
the money market funds with respects to those shares. Currently, the
Funds include the time period during which shares of the money market
fund are held in the CDSC period. The exchange privileges applicable to
all Classes of shares must comply with Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act.

Services and Distribution Plan are subject to a service fee of up to
0.25% of average daily net assets. In addition, the Funds are permitted
to assess a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") on certain
redemptions of Class A shares sold pursuant to a complete waiver of
front-end sales loads applicable to large purchases, if the shares are
redeemed within one year of the date of purchase. This waiver applies
to sales of Class A shares where the amount of purchase is equal to or
exceeds $500,000 although this amount may be changed in the future.
2. Class B Shares
Class B shares are offered without a front-end sales load, but are
subject to a five-year declining CDSC and under the Services and
Distribution Plan are subject to a service fee at an annual rate of up
to 0.25% of average daily net assets and a distribution fee at an annual
rate of up to 0.75% of average daily net assets.
3. Class D Shares
Class D shares are offered without a front-end sales load, CDSC, service
fee or distribution fee.
4. Class L Shares
Class L shares are offered with a front-end load, are subject to a one-
year CDSC and under the Services and Distribution Plan are subject to a
service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets
and a distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.75% of average daily
net assets. Unlike Class B shares, Class L shares do not have the
conversion feature as discussed below and accordingly, these shares are
subject to a distribution fee for an indefinite period of time. The
Funds reserve the right to impose these fees at such higher rates as may
be determined.
5. Class I Shares
Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales load, but are
subject under the Services and Distribution Plan to a service fee at an
annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets.
6. Class O Shares
Class O shares are offered without a front-end load, but are subject to
a one-year CDSC and under the Services and Distribution Plan are subject
to a service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net
assets and a distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of
average daily net assets. Unlike Class B shares, Class O shares do not
have the conversion feature as discussed below and accordingly, these
shares are subject to a distribution fee for an indefinite period of
time. The Funds reserve the right to impose these fees at such higher
rates as may be determined.
Effective June __, 1999, Class O share will be offered with a front-end
load and will continue to be subject to a one year CDSC, a service fee
at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets and a
distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of average daily net
assets.
7. Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are offered without imposition of either a sales charge
or a service or distribution fee for investments where the amount of
purchase is equal to or exceeds a specific amount as specified in each
Fund's prospectus.
8. Class Z Shares
Class Z shares are offered without imposition of either a sales charge
or a service or distribution fee for purchase (i) by employee benefit
and retirement plans of Smith Barney and its affiliates, (ii) by certain
unit investment trusts sponsored by Smith Barney and its affiliates, and
(iii) although not currently authorized by the governing boards of the
Funds, when and if authorized, (x) by employees of Smith Barney and its
affiliates and (y) by directors, general partners or trustees of any
investment company for which Smith Barney serves as a distributor and,
for each of (x) and (y), their spouses and minor children.
9. Additional Classes of Shares
The Boards of Directors and Trustees of the Funds have the authority to
create additional classes, or change existing Classes, from time to
time, in accordance with Rule 18f-3 of the 1940 Act.
II. Expense Allocations
Under the Multiple Class System, all expenses incurred by a Fund are
allocated among the various Classes of shares based on the net assets of
the Fund attributable to each Class, except that each Class's net asset
value and expenses reflect the expenses associated with that Class under
the Fund's Services and Distribution Plan, including any costs
associated with obtaining shareholder approval of the Services and
Distribution Plan (or an amendment thereto) and any expenses specific to
that Class. Such expenses are limited to the following:
(i) transfer agency fees as identified by the transfer agent as
being attributable to a specific Class;
(ii) printing and postage expenses related to preparing and
distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses and
proxies to current shareholders;
(iii) Blue Sky registration fees incurred by a Class of shares;
(iv) Securities and Exchange Commission registration fees
incurred by a Class of shares;
(v) the expense of administrative personnel and services as
required to support the shareholders of a specific Class;
(vi) litigation or other legal expenses relating solely to one
Class of shares; and
(vii) fees of members of the governing boards of the funds
incurred as a result of issues relating to one Class of shares.
Pursuant to the Multiple Class System, expenses of a Fund allocated to a
particular Class of shares of that Fund are borne on a pro rata basis by
each outstanding share of that Class.
III. Conversion Rights of Class B Shares
All Class B shares of each Fund will automatically convert to Class A
shares after a certain holding period, expected to be, in most cases,
approximately eight years but may be shorter. Upon the expiration of
the holding period, Class B shares (except those purchases through the
reinvestment of dividends and other distributions paid in respect of
Class B shares) will automatically convert to Class A shares of the Fund
at the relative net asset value of each of the Classes, and will, as a
result, thereafter be subject to the lower fee under the Services and
Distribution Plan. For purposes of calculating the holding period
required for conversion, newly created Class B shares issued after the
date of implementation of the Multiple Class System are deemed to have
been issued on (i) the date on which the issuance of the Class B shares
occurred or (ii) for Class B shares obtained through an exchange, or a
series of exchanges, the date on which the issuance of the original
Class B shares occurred.
Shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends and other
distributions paid in respect of Class B shares are also Class B shares.
However, for purposes of conversion to Class A, all Class B shares in a
shareholder's Fund account that were purchased through the reinvestment
of dividends and other distributions paid in respect of Class B shares
(and that have not converted to Class A shares as provided in the
following sentence) are considered to be held in a separate sub-account.
Each time any Class B shares in the shareholder's Fund account (other
than those in the sub-account referred to in the preceding
sentence) convert to Class A, a pro rata portion of the Class B shares
then in the sub-account also converts to Class A. The portion is
determined by the ratio that the shareholder's Class B shares converting
to Class A bears to the shareholder's total Class B shares not acquired
through dividends and distributions.
The conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares is subject to the
continuing availability of a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service that
payment of different dividends on Class A and Class B shares does not
result in the Fund's dividends or distributions constituting
"preferential dividends" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and the continuing availability of an opinion of
counsel to the effect that the conversion of shares does not constitute
a taxable event under the Code. The conversion of Class B shares to
Class A shares may be suspended if this opinion is no longer available,
In the event that conversion of Class B shares does not occur, Class B
shares would continue to be subject to the distribution fee and any
incrementally higher transfer agency costs attending the Class B shares
for an indefinite period.
IV. Exchange Privileges
Shareholders of a Fund may exchange their shares at net asset value for
shares of the same Class in certain other of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds as set forth in the prospectus for such Fund. Funds only permit
exchanges into shares of money market funds having a plan under the Rule
if, as permitted by paragraph (b) (5) of Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act,
either (i) the time period during which the shares of the money market
funds are held is included in the calculations of the CDSC or (ii) the
time period is not included but the amount of the CDSC is reduced by the
amount of any payments made under a plan adopted pursuant to the Rule by
the money market funds with respects to those shares. Currently, the
Funds include the time period during which shares of the money market
fund are held in the CDSC period. The exchange privileges applicable to
all Classes of shares must comply with Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act.
