INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE
Principal investment strategies
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The fund seeks to provide income exempt from federal income
tax from a portfolio of high quality short-term municipal obligations selected
for liquidity and stability of principal.
KEY INVESTMENTS The fund invests primarily in short-term "municipal securities,"
which are debt obligations issued by any of the 50 states and their political
subdivisions, agencies and public authorities (together with certain other
governmental issuers such as Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam). The
interest on these securities is exempt from federal income tax. As a result, the
interest rate on these securities normally is lower than it would be if the
securities were subject to federal taxation. All of the securities in which the
fund invests are rated in one of the top two highest short-term rating
categories, or if unrated, of equivalent quality. All of these securities have
remaining maturities of 397 days or less. The fund maintains a dollar-weighted
average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.
SELECTION PROCESS The manager selects securities primarily by identifying
undervalued sectors and individual securities. The manager only selects
securities of issuers which it believes present minimal credit risk. In
selecting individual securities, the manager:
- - Uses fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and
attractiveness of various securities and sectors
- - Measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances for fixed versus
variable rate securities and for obligations of different states
- - Measures the yields available for securities with different maturities and a
security's maturity in light of the outlook for interest rates to identify
individual securities that offer return advantages at similar risk levels
- - May trade between general obligation and revenue bonds and among various
revenue bond sectors, such as housing, hospital and industrial development,
based on their apparent relative values

RISKS, PERFORMANCE AND EXPENSES
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per
share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund, or the fund could
underperform other short-term municipal debt instruments or money market funds,
if:
- - Interest rates rise, causing the value of the fund's portfolio to decline
- - The issuer of a security owned by the fund defaults on its obligation to pay
principal and/or interest or the security's credit rating is downgraded
- - Municipal securities fall out of favor with investors
- - Unfavorable legislation affects the tax-exempt status of municipal
securities
- - The manager's judgment about the attractiveness, value or income potential
of a particular security proves to be incorrect
It is possible that some of the fund's income distributions may be, and
distributions of any gains generally will be, subject to federal taxation. Some
of the fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In
addition, distributions of the fund's income and gains will be subject to state
personal income taxation. While not expected, the fund may occasionally realize
taxable gains on the sale of its securities.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST The fund may be an appropriate investment if you are a
taxpayer:
- - In a high federal tax bracket seeking current income exempt from federal
taxation
- - Seeking exposure to short-term municipal securities at a minimum level of
additional risk
- - Are looking to allocate a portion of your assets to money market securities

MORE ON THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. The municipal securities in which the fund invests include
general obligation and revenue bonds and notes and tax-exempt commercial paper.
The fund may invest in floating or variable rate municipal securities. Some of
these securities may have stated final maturities of more than 397 days but have
demand features that entitle the fund to receive the principal amount of the
securities either at any time or at specified intervals.
STRUCTURED SECURITIES. The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in three
types of structured securities: tender option bonds, partnership interests and
swap-based securities. These securities represent participation interests in a
special purpose trust or partnership holding one or more municipal bonds and/or
municipal bond interest rate swaps. A typical swap enables the trust or
partnership to exchange a municipal bond interest rate for a floating or
variable, short-term municipal interest rate.
These structured securities are a type of derivative instrument. Unlike some
derivatives, these securities are not designed to leverage the fund's portfolio
or increase its exposure to interest rate risk.
Investments in structured securities raise certain tax, legal, regulatory and
accounting issues which may not be presented by investments in other municipal
bonds. These issues could be resolved in a manner that could hurt the
performance of the fund.
DEFENSIVE INVESTING. The fund may depart from its principal investment
strategies in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions by
taking temporary defensive positions in all types of taxable money market and
short-term debt securities. If the fund takes a temporary defensive position, it
may be unable to achieve its investment goal.

<PG$PCN>
MANAGEMENT
MANAGER. The fund's investment manager is SSBC Fund Management Inc., an
affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. The manager's address is 388 Greenwich
Street, New York, New York 10013. The manager selects the fund's investments and
oversees its operations. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are subsidiaries
of Citigroup Inc. Citigroup businesses produce a broad range of financial
services -- asset management, banking and consumer finance, credit and charge
cards, insurance, investments, investment banking and trading -- and use diverse
channels to make them available to consumer and corporate customers around the
world.
MANAGEMENT FEES. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, the manager
received an advisory fee equal to ____% of the fund's average daily net assets.
DISTRIBUTOR. The fund has entered into an agreement with CFBDS, Inc. to
distribute the fund's shares. A selling group consisting of Salomon Smith Barney
and other broker-dealers sells fund shares to the public.
DISTRIBUTION PLAN. The fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 distribution plan for its
Class A shares. Under the plan, Class A shares pay a service fee. The fee in
Class A shares is an ongoing expense and, over time, it increases the cost of
your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE. Information technology experts are concerned about computer
systems' ability to process date-related information on and after January 1,
2000. This situation, commonly known as the "Year 2000" issue, could have an
adverse impact on the fund. The cost of addressing the Year 2000 issue, if
substantial, could adversely affect companies and governments that issue
securities held by the fund. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are addressing
the Year 2000 issue for their systems. The fund has been informed by other
service providers that they are taking similar measures. Although the fund does
not expect the Year 2000 issue to adversely affect it, the fund cannot guarantee
the efforts of the fund, which are limited to requesting and receiving reports
from its service providers, or its service providers to correct the problem will
be successful.

<PG$PCN>
DEFERRED SALES CHARGES
If Class A shares of the fund are acquired by exchange from another Smith Barney
fund subject to a deferred sales charge the original deferred sales charge will
apply to these shares. If you redeem these shares within 12 months of the date
you purchased shares of the original fund, the fund's shares may be subject to a
deferred sales charge of 1.00%.
The deferred sales charge is based on the net asset value at the time of
purchase or redemption, whichever is less, and therefore you do not pay a sales
charge on amounts representing appreciation or depreciation.
You do not pay a deferred sales charge on:
- - Shares exchanged for shares of another Smith Barney fund
- - Shares that represent reinvested distributions and dividends
- - Shares that are no longer subject to the deferred sales charge
If you redeemed shares of a Smith Barney fund in the past 60 days and paid a
deferred sales charge, you may buy shares of the fund at the current net asset
value and be credited with the amount of the deferred sales charge, if you
notify your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative.
Salomon Smith Barney receives deferred sales charges as partial compensation for
its expenses in selling shares, including the payment of compensation to your
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE WAIVERS
The deferred sales charge for Class A shares will generally be waived:
- - For involuntary redemptions of small account balances
- - For 12 months following the death or disability of a shareholder
If you want to learn more about additional waivers of deferred sales charges,
contact your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative
or consult the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI").

Municipal Money Market Fund, Inc. -17-

The fund has the right to:
- - Suspend the offering of shares

- - Reject any purchase or exchange order
- - Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege
- - Suspend telephone transactions
- - Suspend or postpone redemptions of shares on any day when trading on the New
York Stock Exchange is restricted, or as otherwise permitted by the Securities
and Exchange Commission
- - Pay redemption proceeds by giving you securities. You may pay transaction

SMALL ACCOUNT BALANCES. If your account falls below $500 because of a

$500. If your account is still below $500 after 60 days, the fund may close
your account and send you the redemption proceeds.
EXCESSIVE EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS. The manager may determine that a pattern of
frequent exchanges is detrimental to the fund's performance and other
shareholders. If so, the fund may limit additional purchases and/or exchanges
by the shareholder.

request signed by all registered owners is made to the transfer agent. If you
hold share certificates it will take longer to exchange or redeem shares.
- -18-
<PG$PCN>
DISTRIBUTIONS, DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. The fund declares a dividend of substantially all of its net
investment income on each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.
Income dividends are paid monthly. The fund generally makes capital gain
distributions, if any, once a year, typically in December. The fund may pay
additional distributions and dividends at other times if necessary for the fund
to avoid a federal tax. Capital gain distributions and dividends are reinvested
in additional fund shares of the same class you hold. The fund expects
distributions to be primarily from income. You do not pay a sales charge on
reinvested distributions or dividends. Alternatively, you can instruct your
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant, dealer representative or the
transfer agent to have your distributions and/or dividends paid in cash. You
can change your choice at any time to be effective as of the next distribution
or dividend, except that any change given to the transfer agent less than five
days before the payment date will not be effective until the next distribution
or dividend is paid.
TAXES. In general, redeeming shares, exchanging shares and receiving
distributions (whether in cash or additional shares) are all taxable events.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
TRANSACTION FEDERAL TAX STATUS
<S> <C>
Redemption or exchange of shares Usually no gain or loss; loss may

</TABLE>
The fund anticipates that it will normally not earn or distribute any long-term
capital gains.
After the end of each year, the fund will provide you with information about
the distributions and dividends you received and any redemptions of shares
during the previous year. If you do not provide the fund with your correct
taxpayer identification number and any required certifications, you may be
subject to back-up withholding of 31% of your distributions, dividends, and
redemption proceeds. Because each shareholder's circumstances are different and
special tax rules may apply, you should consult your tax adviser about your
investment in the fund.

<PG$PCN>
SHARE PRICE
You may buy, exchange or redeem shares at their net asset value, plus any
applicable sales charge, next determined after receipt of your request in good
order. The fund's net asset value is the value of its assets minus its
liabilities. Net asset value is calculated separately for each class of shares.
The fund calculates its net asset value every day the New York Stock Exchange
is open. The Exchange is closed on certain holidays listed in the SAI. This
calculation is done when regular trading closes on the Exchange (normally 4:00
p.m., Eastern time).
The fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities.
Using this method, the fund constantly amortizes over the remaining life of a
security the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the
cost of the security to the fund.

APPENDIX A - RATINGS OF MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS A-1
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The prospectus discusses the fund's investment objective and the
policies. The following discussion supplements the description of the
fund's investment policies in the prospectus. The fund will pursue its
objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of municipal
obligations, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax in
the opinion of counsel to the various issuers. The fund operates as a
money market fund, and utilizes certain investment policies so that, to
the extent reasonably possible, its price per share will not change from
$1.00, although no assurance can be given that this goal will be achieved
on a continuous basis. For example, the fund will not purchase a
security which, after giving effect to any demand features, has a
remaining maturity of greater than 13 months, or maintain a dollar-
weighted average portfolio maturity in excess of 90 days.
In general, municipal obligations are debt obligations (bonds or
notes) issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of
the United States and their political subdivisions, agencies and
instrumentalities the interest on which is exempt from Federal income tax
in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer. Municipal obligations are
issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, many of which may
enhance the quality of life, including the construction of a wide range of
public facilities, such as airports, bridges, highways, housing,
hospitals, mass transportation, schools, streets, water and sewer works,
gas, and electric utilities. They may also be issued to refund
outstanding obligations, to obtain funds for general operating expenses,
or to obtain funds to loan to other public institutions and facilities and
in anticipation of the receipt of revenue or the issuance of other
obligations. In addition, the term "municipal obligations" includes
certain types of industrial development bonds ("IDBs") issued by public
authorities to obtain funds to provide various privately-operated
facilities for business and manufacturing, housing, sports, convention or
trade show facilities, airport, mass transit, port and parking facilities,
air or water pollution control facilities, and certain facilities for
water supply, gas, electricity or sewerage or solid waste disposal.
Opinions relating to the validity of municipal obligations and to
the exemption of interest thereon from federal income tax are rendered by
bond counsel to the respective issuers at the time of issuance. Neither
the fund nor SSBC Fund Management, Inc. ("SSBC" or the "Manager") will
review the proceedings relating to the issuance of municipal obligations
or the bases for such opinions.
Except for temporary defensive purposes, at least 80% of the fund's
assets will be invested in municipal obligations that produce income that
is exempt from federal income tax (other than the alternative minimum
tax). In each of the fund's prior fiscal years, 100% of its income has
been exempt from federal income tax and the fund's shares have had a
stable $1.00 price.
The fund's investments are limited to United States dollar-
denominated instruments that, at the time of acquisition (including any
related credit enhancement features) have received a rating in one of the
two highest categories for short-term debt obligations from the "Requisite
NRSROs," securities of issuers that have received such a rating with
respect to other comparable securities, and comparable unrated securities.
"Requisite NRSROs" means (a) any two nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations ("NRSROs") that have issued a rating with respect to
a security or class of debt obligations of an issuer, or (b) one NRSRO, if
only one NRSRO has issued such rating at the time that the fund acquires
the security. The NRSROs currently designated as such by the SEC are
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group (S&P"), Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's"), Duff and Phelps Inc., Fitch IBCA, Inc. ("Fitch") and Thomson
BankWatch.
The yields on municipal obligations are dependent on a variety of
factors, including general market conditions, supply and demand, general
conditions of the municipal market, size of a particular offering, the
maturity of the obligation and the rating of the issue. The ratings of
NRSROs such as Moody's and S&P represent their opinions as to the quality
to the municipal obligations that they undertake to rate. It should be
emphasized, however, that such ratings are general and are not absolute
standards of quality. Consequently, municipal obligations with the same
maturity, coupon and rating may have different yields when purchased in
the open market, while municipal obligations of the same maturity and
coupon with different ratings may have the same yield.
Municipal obligations, which are issued by states, municipalities
and their agencies, may include municipal notes and bonds. The two
principal classifications of municipal obligations are "general
obligation" and "revenue." General obligations are secured by a municipal
issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the
payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are payable only
from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of
facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or
other specific revenue source. Although "IDBs" are issued by municipal
authorities, they are generally secured by the revenues derived from
payments of the industrial user. The payment of the principal and
interest on IDBs is dependent solely on the ability of the user of the
facilities financed by the bonds to meet its financial obligations and the
pledge, if any, of real and personal property so financed as security for
such payment.
For purposes of diversification and concentration under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the
identification of the issuer of municipal obligations depends on the terms
and conditions of the obligation. If the assets and revenues of an
agency, authority, instrumentality or other political subdivision are
separate from those of the government creating the subdivision and the
obligation is backed only by the assets and revenues of the subdivision,
such subdivision is regarded as the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case
of an IDB or a pollution control revenue bond, if the bond is backed only
by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, the non-
governmental user is regarded as the sole issuer. If in either case the
creating government or another entity guarantees an obligation, the
guaranty is regarded as a separate security and treated as an issue of
such guarantor. Similar criteria apply for purposes of the
diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code").
Among the types of obligations in which the fund may invest are
floating or variable rate instruments subject to demand features ("demand
instruments"); tax-exempt commercial paper; and notes such as Tax
Anticipation Notes, Revenue Anticipation Notes, Tax and Revenue
Anticipation Notes and Bond Anticipation Notes. Demand instruments
usually have an indicated maturity of more than 13 months but have a
demand feature (or "put") that entitles the holder to receive the
principal amount of the underlying security and may be exercised either
(a) at any time on no more than 30 days' notice; or (b) at specified
intervals not exceeding one year and upon no more than 30 days' notice.
Demand features generally consist of a letter of credit issued by a
domestic or foreign bank. A variable rate instrument provides for
adjustment of its interest rate on set dates and upon such adjustment can
reasonably be expected to have a market value that approximates its
amortized cost; a floating rate instrument provides for adjustment of its
interest rate whenever a specified interest rate (e.g., the prime rate)
changes and at any time can reasonably be expected to have a market value
that approximates its amortized cost.
The Fund may purchase participation interests in variable-rate tax-
exempt securities (such as Industrial Development Bonds) owned by banks.
Participations are frequently backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or
guarantee of a bank that the Manager has determined meets the prescribed
quality
standards for the Fund. Participation interests will be purchased only;
if management believes interest income on such interests will be tax-
exempt when distributed as dividends to shareholders.
Investments in participation interests in variable-rate tax-exempt
securities (such as IDBs) purchased from banks give the purchaser an
undivided interest in the tax-exempt security in the proportion that the
Fund participation interest bears to the total principal amount of the
tax-exempt security with a demand repurchase feature. Participation
interests are frequently backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or
guarantee of a bank that the Manager, under the supervision of the Board
of Directors (the "Board"), has determined meets the prescribed quality
standards for the Fund. The Fund has the right to sell the instrument
back to the bank and draw on the letter of credit on demand on seven days'
notice or less, for all or any part of its participation interest in the
tax-exempt security, plus accrued interest. The Fund intends to exercise
the demand under the letter of credit only (1) upon a default under the
terms of the documents of the tax-exempt security, (2) as needed to
provide liquidity in order to meet redemptions, or (3) to maintain a high
quality investment portfolio. Banks will retain a service and letter of
credit fee and a fee for issuing repurchase commitments in an amount equal
to the excess of the interest paid on the tax-exempt securities over the
negotiated yield at which the instruments were purchased by the Fund. The
Manager will monitor the pricing, quality and liquidity of the variable-
rate demand instruments held by the Fund, including the IDBs supported by
bank letters of credit or guarantees, on the basis of published financial
information, reports of rating agencies and other bank analytical services
to which the Manager may subscribe.
Private Activity Bonds. The fund may invest without limits in
private activity bonds. Interest income on certain types of private
activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986 to finance non-governmental
activities is a specific tax preference item for purposes of the federal
individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes. Individual and
corporate shareholders may be subject to a federal alternative minimum tax
to the extent that the fund's dividends are derived from interest on those
bonds. These private activity bonds are included in the term "municipal
obligations" for purposes of determining compliance with the 80% test
described above. Dividends derived from interest on any tax-exempt
municipal obligations are a component of the "current earnings" adjustment
for purposes of the federal corporate alternative minimum tax.
Structured Securities. The fund may invest up to 20% of the value
of its assets in one or more of the three principal types of derivative
product structures described below. Derivative products are typically
structured by a bank, broker-dealer or other financial institution. A
derivative product generally consists of a trust or partnership through
which the fund holds an interest in one or more underlying bonds coupled
with a conditional right to sell ("put") the fund's interest in the
underlying bonds at par plus accrued interest to a financial institution
(a "Liquidity Provider"). Typically, a derivative product is structured as
a trust or partnership which provides for pass-through tax-exempt income.
There are currently three principal types of derivative structures: (1)
"Tender Option Bonds", which are instruments which grant the holder
thereof the right to put an underlying bond at par plus accrued interest
at specified intervals to a Liquidity Provider; (2) "Swap Products", in
which the trust or partnership swaps the payments due on an underlying
bond with a swap counterparty who agrees to pay a floating municipal money
market interest rate:; and (3) "Partnerships", which allocate to the
partners income, expenses, capital gains and losses in accordance with a
governing partnership agreement.
Investments in derivative products raise certain tax, legal,
regulatory and accounting issues which may not be presented by investments
in other municipal bonds. There is some risk that certain issues could be
resolved in a manner that could adversely impact the performance of the
fund. For example, the tax-exempt treatment of the interest paid to
holders of derivative products is premised on the legal conclusion that
the holders of such derivative products have an ownership interest in the
underlying bonds. While the fund receives an opinion of legal counsel to
the effect that the income from each derivative product is tax-exempt to
the same extent as the underlying bond, the Internal Revenue Service (the
"IRS") has not issued a ruling on this subject. Were the IRS to issue an
adverse ruling, there is a risk that the interest paid on such derivative
products would be deemed taxable.
The fund intends to limit the risk of derivative products by
purchasing only those derivative products that are consistent with the
fund's investment objective and policies. The fund will not use such
instruments to leverage securities. Hence, derivative products'
contributions to the overall market risk characteristics of a fund will
not materially alter its risk profile and will be fully representative of
the fund's maturity guidelines.
The fund will not invest more than 10% of the value of its assets in
illiquid securities, which may include certain derivative products and
will include any repurchase transactions that do not mature within seven
days.
When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase municipal obligations
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 obligations purchased
on a when-issued basis are each fixed at the time the buyer enters into
the commitment. Although the fund will purchase municipal obligations 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 obligations 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
obligations tend to appreciate when interest rates decline and depreciate
when interest rates rise. Purchasing municipal obligations on a when-
issued basis, therefore, can involve the risk that the yields available in
the market when the delivery takes place may actually be higher than those
obtained in the transaction itself. To account for this risk, a separate
account of the fund consisting of cash or liquid debt securities equal to
the amount of the when-issued commitments will be established at the
fund's custodian bank or in the Fund's records. For the purpose of
determining the adequacy of the securities in the account, the deposited
securities will be valued at market or fair value. 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 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 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.
Stand-By Commitments. The fund may acquire "stand-by commitments"
with respect to municipal obligations held in its portfolio. Under a
stand-by commitment a dealer agrees to purchase, at the fund's option,
specified municipal obligations at a specified price. The fund intends to
enter into stand-by commitments only with dealers, banks and broker-
dealers that, in the opinion of the manager, present minimal credit risks.
In evaluating the creditworthiness of the issuer of a stand-by commitment,
the manager will review periodically the issuer's assets, liabilities,
contingent claims and other relevant financial information. Because the
fund invests in securities backed by banks and other financial
institutions, change in the credit quality of these institutions could
cause losses to the fund and affect its share price. The fund will
acquire stand-by commitments solely to facilitate portfolio liquidity and
does not intend to exercise its rights thereunder for trading purposes.
Repurchase Agreements. The fund may enter into repurchase
agreements with banks which are the issuers of instruments acceptable for
purchase by the fund and with certain dealers on the u.c. 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
of time (usually not more than seven days) 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. Under
each repurchase agreement, the selling institution will be required to
maintain the value of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement
at not less than their repurchase price. 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. In evaluating these potential risks, the
manager, 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.
Derivatives. The Fund may invest in municipal bond index futures
contracts or in listed contracts based on U.S. government securities.
Such investments will be made solely for the purpose of hedging against
changes in the value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in
interest rates and market conditions and not for purposes of speculation.
The acquisition or sale of a futures contract could enable the Fund to
protect its assets from fluctuations in rates on tax-exempt securities
without actually buying or selling securities. The municipal bond index
futures contract is based on an index of long-term, tax-exempt municipal
bonds. The contract obligates the buyer or seller to take or make
delivery, respectively, of an amount of cash equal to the difference
between the value of the index upon liquidation of the contract and the
price at which the index contract was originally purchased or sold. In
connection with the use of futures contracts as a hedging device, there
can be no assurance that there will be a precise or even a positive
correlation between price movement in the futures contracts with that of
the municipal bonds that are the subject of the hedge, consequently, the
Fund may realize a profit on a futures contract that is less than the loss
in the price of the municipal bonds being hedged or may even incur a loss.
The Fund also may not be able to close a futures position in the event of
adverse price movements or in the event an active market does not exist
for the hedging contract on the exchange or board of trade on which the
contract is traded. The successful use of these investments is dependent
on the ability of the Manager to predict price or interest rate movements
or the correlation of futures and cash markets, or both.
Puts. Among the types of securities that the Fund may purchase are
municipal obligations having put features. A "put" is a right to sell a
specified underlying security or securities within a specified period of
time and at a specified exercise price that may be sold, transferred or
assigned only with the underlying security or securities. The types of
puts that the Fund may purchase include "demand features" (see "Risk and
Portfolio Management" in the Prospectus) and "standby commitments." A
"standby commitment" entitles the holder to achieve same day settlement and
to receive an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying
security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of exercise. Although
it is permissible for the Fund to purchase securities with standby
commitments, as a practical matter, it is unlikely that the Fund would have
the need or the opportunity to do so because such puts are not commonly
available.
Other Factors to be Considered. The fund anticipates being as fully
invested as practicable in tax-exempt securities. The fund may invest in
taxable investments due to market conditions or pending investment of
proceeds from sales of shares or proceeds from the sale of portfolio
securities or in anticipation of redemptions. However, the fund generally
expects to invest the proceeds received from the sale of shares in
municipal obligations as soon as reasonably possible, which is generally
within one day. At no time will more than 20% of the fund's net assets be
invested in taxable investments except when the manager has determined
that market conditions warrant the fund adopting a temporary defensive
investment posture. To the extent the fund's assets are invested for
temporary defensive purposes, such assets will not be invested in a manner
designed to achieve the l.c. Fund's investment objective.
The Fund may invest in securities the disposition of which is
subject to legal or contractual restrictions. The sale of restricted
securities often requires more time and results in higher dealer discounts
or other selling expenses than does the sale of securities that are not
subject to restrictions on resale. Restricted securities may sell at a
price lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions
on resale.
Securities may be sold in anticipation of a market decline (a rise
in interest rates) or purchased in anticipation of a market rise (a
decline in interest rates). In addition, a security may be sold and
another purchased at approximately the same time to take advantage of what
the Manager believes to be a temporary disparity in the normal yield
relationship between the two securities. The Fund believes that, in
general, the secondary market for tax-exempt securities in the Fund's
portfolio may be less liquid than that for taxable fixed-income
securities. Accordingly, the ability to make purchases and sales of
securities in the foregoing manner may be limited. Yield disparities may
occur for reasons not directly related to the investment quality of
particular issues or the general movement of interest rates, but instead
due to such factors as changes in the overall demand for or supply of
various types of tax-exempt securities or changes in the investment
objectives of investors.
The fund may engage in short-term trading to attempt to take
advantage of short-term market variations or may dispose of a portfolio
security prior to its maturity if it believes such disposition advisable
or it needs to generate cash to satisfy redemptions. In such cases, the
fund may realize a gain or loss. From its commencement of operations, the
fund has not realized any significant gain or loss during any fiscal year.
From time to time, proposals have been introduced before Congress
for the purpose of restricting or eliminating the federal income tax
exemption for interest on municipal obligations, and similar proposals may
be introduced in the future. If one of these proposals were enacted, the
availability of tax exempt obligations for investment by the fund and the
value of the fund's portfolio would be affected. The fund's Board of
Directors would then reevaluate the fund's investment objective and
policies.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Fund is subject to certain restrictions and policies that are
"fundamental," which means that they may not be changed without a "vote of
a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund, as defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"). The
Fund is subject to other restrictions and policies that are "non-
fundamental" and which may be changed by the Fund's Board of Directors
without shareholder approval, subject to any applicable disclosure
requirements.
Fundamental Policies. Without the approval of a majority of its
outstanding voting securities, the Fund may not:
1. issue "senior securities" as defined in the Act and the rules,
regulations and orders thereunder, except as permitted under the Act
and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder.
2. invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the
issuers of which conduct their principal business activities in the
same industry. For purposes of this limitation, securities of the
U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities) and
securities of state or municipal governments and their political
subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any
industry.
3. 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.
4. 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 Act.
5. 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 Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, in disposing of portfolio securities.
6. 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.
7. invest in a manner that would cause the Fund to fail to be a
"diversified company" under the Act and the rules, regulations and
orders thereunder.
Nonfundamental Policies. As nonfundamental policies, the Fund may not:
1. 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.
2. purchase or otherwise acquire any security if, as a result, more
than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that
are illiquid.
All of the foregoing restrictions which are stated in terms of
percentages will apply at the time an investment is made; a subsequent
increase or decrease in the percentage that may result from changes in
values or net assets will not result in a violation of the restriction.

each director during the Company's last fiscal year. None of the officers
of the Company received any compensation from the Company for such period.
Fees for directors who are not "interested persons" of the Company and who
are directors of a group of funds sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney are
set at $42,000 per annum and are allocated based on relative net assets of
each fund in the group. In addition, these directors received $100 per
fund or portfolio for each meeting attended and plus travel and out-of-
pocket expenses incurred in connection with board meetings. The board
meeting fees and out-of-pocket expenses are borne equally by each
individual fund or portfolio in the group. During the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999 such expenses totaled $13,732. Officers and interested
directors of the Company are compensated by Salomon Smith Barney.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
SSBC (formerly Mutual Management Corp) serves as investment adviser
to the Fund pursuant to a written agreement (the "Advisory Agreement"),
which was approved by the Fund's Board of directors, including a majority
of the directors who are not interested persons of the Fund or Salomon
Smith Barney (the "independent directors"). Subject to the supervision and
direction of the fund's board of directors, the manager 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 portfolio managers
and securities analysts who provide research services to the fund. The
manager pays the salary of any officer and employee who is employed by
both it and the trust. The manager bears all expenses in connection with
the performance of its services. SSBC is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), which in turn is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup"). SSBC (through
predecessor entities) has been in the investment counseling business since
1968 and renders investment advice to a wide variety of individual,
institutional and investment company clients that had aggregate assets
under management as of March 31, 1999 in excess of $114 billion.
The Fund's Management Agreement with the Manager was approved by
shareholders on September 16, 1994, became effective on November 7, 1994,
and was amended as of September 3, 1997. The Management Agreement provides
that the Fund's management fee will be calculated as follows: 0.50% of the
first $2.5 billion of average daily net assets; 0.475% of the next $2.5
billion of average daily net assets; 0.45% of the next $2.5 billion of
average daily net assets; and 0.40% of average daily net assets over $7.5
billion.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, the management
fees were $26,073,153, $27,985,733 and $ respectively, and
there were no expense limitation reimbursements (see "Management " in the
Prospectus).
The Management Agreement further provides that all other expenses not
specifically assumed by the Manager are borne by the fund. Expenses
payable by the Fund include, but are not limited to, charges of custodians
(including sums as custodian and sums for keeping books and for rendering
other services to the Fund), transfer agents and registrars, expenses of
registering or qualifying shares for sale (including the printing of the
Fund's registration statements and prospectuses), out-of-pocket expenses of
directors and fees of directors who are not "interested persons" of the
Fund as defined in the Act, association membership dues, charges of
auditors and legal counsel, expenses of preparing, printing and
distributing all proxy material, reports and notices to shareholders,
insurance expense, costs of performing portfolio valuations, interest,
taxes, fees and commissions of every kind, expenses of issue, repurchase or
redemption of shares, and all other costs incident to the Fund's corporate
existence. No sales or promotion expenses are incurred by the Fund, but
expenses incurred in complying with laws regulating the issue or sale of
the Fund's shares, which are paid by the Fund, are not deemed sales or
promotion expenses.
The Management Agreement will continue in effect if specifically approved
annually by a majority of the directors of the fund who are not parties to
such contract or "interested persons" of any such party. The Agreement may
be terminated without penalty by either of the parties on 60 days' written
notice and must terminate in the event of its assignment. It may be
amended or modified only if approved by vote of the holders of a majority
of the fund's outstanding shares as defined in the Act.
The Management Agreement provides that the Manager is not liable for any
act or omission in the course of or in connection with rendering services
under the Agreement in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of its obligation or duties. The
Agreement permits the Manager to render services to others and to engage in
other activities.
AUDITORS
KPMG LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154, has been selected
as the fund's independent auditor to examine and report on the fund's
financial statements and highlights for the fiscal year ended March 31,
1999.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
The minimum initial investment for Class A is $1,000 and the
minimum subsequent investment is $50. There are no minimum investment
requirements in Class A shares for employees of Citigroup and its
subsidiaries, including Salomon Smith Barney, and Directors or Trustees of
any Travelers-affiliated funds, including the Smith Barney Mutual Funds,
and their spouses and children. The minimum initial investment for Class
Y is $15,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for
either class. For shareholders purchasing shares of a Portfolio through
the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis, the minimum initial
investment requirement for Class A shares and the subsequent investment
requirement for all classes is $25. For shareholders purchasing shares of
a fund through the Systematic Investment Plan on a quarterly basis, the
minimum initial investment requirement for Class A shares and the
subsequent investment requirement for all classes is $50. There are no
minimum investment requirements in Class A for employees of Citigroup,
Inc. ("Citigroup") and its subsidiaries, including Salomon Smith Barney,
and Directors or Trustees of any Citigroup-affiliated Funds, including 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 heldin the shareholder's account by the
Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("First
Data"). Share Certificates are issued only upon a shareholder's written
request to First Data.
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,
Salomon Smith Barney or First Data is authorized through preauthorized
transfers of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least $50 on a
quarterly basis to charge the regular bank account or other financial
institution indicated by the shareholder, to provide systematic additions
to the shareholder's Portfolio account. A shareholder who has
insufficient funds to complete the transfer will be charged a fee of up to
$25 by Salomon Smith Barney or First Data. Additional information is
available from the fund or a Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Letter of Intent - Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may 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 purchased during such period will
be transferred to Class A shares, where they will be subject to all fees
(including a service fee of 0.25%) and expenses applicable to the Fund's
Class A shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%. Please contact a
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or the Transfer Agent for
further information.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shareholders may redeem their shares without charge on any day a
fund calculates its net asset value. See "Valuation of Shares and
Amortized Cost Valuation." Redemption requests received in proper form
before 12 noon, Eastern time, are priced at the net asset value as next
determined on that day. Redemption requests received after 12 noon,
Eastern time, are priced at the net asset value next determined.
Redemption requests must be made through a Salomon Smith Barney Financial
Consultant, or a dealer representative through whom the shares were
purchased, except that shareholders who purchased shares of the fund from
First Data may also redeem shares directly through First Data. A
shareholder desiring to redeem shares represented by certificates also
must present the certificates to a Salomon Smith Barney Financial
Consultant, dealer representative or First Data endorsed for transfer (or
accompanied by an endorsed stock power), signed exactly as the shares are
registered. Redemption requests involving shares represented by
certificates will not be deemed received until the certificates are
received by First Data in proper form.
Each fund normally transmits redemption proceeds on the business day
following receipt of a redemption request but, in any event, payment will
be made within three days thereafter, exclusive of days on which the NYSE
is closed and the settlement of securities does not otherwise occur, or as
permitted under the 1940 Act in extraordinary circumstances. Generally,
if the redemption proceeds are remitted to a Salomon Smith Barney
brokerage account, these funds will not be invested for the shareholder's
benefit without specific instruction and Salomon Smith Barney will benefit
from the use of temporarily uninvested funds. A shareholder who pays for
fund shares by personal check will be credited with the proceeds of a
redemption of those shares only after the purchase check has been
collected, which may take up to ten days or more. A shareholder who
anticipates the need for more immediate access to his or her investment
should purchase shares with Federal funds, by bank wire or with a
certified or cashier's check.
Fund shareholders who purchase securities through a Salomon Smith
Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative may take advantage of
special redemption procedures under which Class A shares of the fund will
be redeemed automatically to the extent necessary to satisfy debit
balances arising in the shareholder's account with a Salomon Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or dealer representative. One example of how an
automatic redemption may occur involves the purchase of securities. If a
shareholder purchases securities but does not pay for them by the
settlement date, the number of fund shares necessary to cover the debit
will be redeemed automatically as of the settlement date, which usually
occurs three business days after the trade date. Class A shares that are
subject to a CDSC (see "Redemption of Shares-Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge") are not eligible for such automatic redemption and will only be
redeemed upon specific request. If the shareholder does not request
redemption of such shares, the shareholder's account with a Salomon Smith
Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative may be margined to
satisfy debit balances if sufficient fund shares that are not subject to
any applicable CDSC are unavailable. No fee is currently charged with
respect to these automatic transactions. Shareholders not wishing to
participate in these arrangements should notify their Salomon Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or dealer representative.
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 registered. If the shares to be redeemed were issued in
certificate form, the certificates must be endorsed for transfer (or be
accompanied by an endorsed stock power) and must be submitted to First
Data together with the redemption request. Any signature appearing on 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 institution, 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 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. First Data may require additional
supporting documents for redemptions made by corporations, executors,
administrators, trustees or guardians. A redemption request will not be
deemed properly received until First Data receives all required documents
in proper form.
Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program. To determine if a
shareholder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should
contact First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the
shareholder must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form,
along with a signature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon
request. (Alternatively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions
on the new account application with the applicant's 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 a fund's shares may be made by eligible shareholders by calling
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any day the NYSE is open. Requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the
net asset value next determined. 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 complete 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 shares of the fund being acquired is
identical to the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such
exchange requests may be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any day on which the
NYSE is open. See "Exchange Privilege" for more information.
Additional information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program. Neither the funds nor their agents will be liable for following
instructions communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be
genuine. Each fund 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). Each 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 following at least seven (7)
days prior notice to shareholders.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Class A shares which were
originally acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds at net
asset value subject to a CDSC, continue to be subject to any applicable
CDSC of the original fund. Therefore, such Class A shares that are
redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase of the original fund may
be subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to and
retained by Salomon Smith Barney. The CDSC will be assessed based on an
amount equal to the account value at the time of redemption, and will not
be imposed on increases in value above the initial purchase price in the
original fund. In addition, no charge will be assessed on shares derived
from reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions.
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed
that a redemption is made first of shares representing capital
appreciation, next of shares representing the reinvestments of dividends
and capital gain distributions and finally of other shares held by the
shareholder for the longest period of time. The length of time that Class
A and shares have been held will be calculated from the date that the
shares were initially acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual
Funds, and the amount of shares being redeemed will be considered to
represent, as applicable, the value of 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
(if any) or increase the loss (if any), as the case may be, on redemption.
The CDSC on Class A shares, if any, will be waived on (a) exchanges
(see "Exchange Privilege" below); (b) redemptions of shares within twelve
months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (c)
redemption of shares made in connection with qualified distributions from
retirement plans or IRAs upon the attainment of age 59 1/2; (d)
involuntary redemptions; and (e) redemptions of shares to effect a
combination of a Portfolio with any investment company by merger,
acquisition of assets or otherwise. In addition, a shareholder who has
redeemed shares from other funds of the 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.
CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Salomon
Smith Barney in the case of shareholders who are also Salomon Smith Barney
clients or by First Data in the case of all other shareholders) of the
shareholder's status or holdings, as the case may be.
DISTRIBUTOR
Distributor. CFBDS, Inc., located at 20 Milk Street, Boston, MA
02109-5408, serves as the fund's distributor on a best efforts basis
pursuant to a distribution agreement dated October 8, 1998 (the
"Distribution Agreement"), which was approved by the fund's board of
directors. Prior to the merger of Travelers Group, Inc. and Citicorp on
October 8, 1998, Salomon Smith Barney served as the fund's distributor.
Brokerage. The Manager places orders for the purchase and sale of
securities for the funds of the Company. All of the portfolio
transactions have been principal transactions with major dealers in money
market instruments, on which no brokerage commissions are paid. Purchases
from or sales to dealers serving as market-makers include the spread
between the bid and asked prices. No portfolio transactions are handled
by Salomon Smith Barney.
For the 1997, 1998 and 1999 fiscal years, Smith Barney received
$5,356,355, $___________ and $___________, respectively, in sales charges
for the sale of the fund's Class A shares, and did not reallow any portion
thereof to dealers.
When payment is made by the investor before the settlement date,
unless otherwise noted by the investor, the funds will be held as a free
credit balance in the investor's brokerage account, and Salomon Smith
Barney may benefit from the temporary use of the funds. The investor may
designate another use for the funds prior to the settlement date, such as
an investment in a money market fund (other than the Salomon Smith Barney
Exchange Reserve Fund) of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds. If the investor
instructs Salomon Smith Barney to invest 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 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, Salomon Smith Barney
incurred distribution expense totaling approximately $_____________
consisting of approximately $________ for Mutual Fund Marketing, $________
for printing of prospectuses, $__________ for support services, $________
to Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultants, and $__________
in accruals for interest on
the excess of Salomon Smith Barney expenses incurred in the distribution
of the fund's shares over the sum of the distribution fees and CDSC
received by Salomon Smith Barney from the fund.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
To compensate Salomon 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 Salomon Smith
Barney a service fee at the rate of 0.10% of the average balance of class
shares held in the accounts of the customers of financial consultants. The
fee is used by Salomon Smith Barney to pay its financial consultants for
servicing shareholder accounts for as long as shareholders remain a holder
of the class.
The following service and distribution fees were incurred during the
fiscal years ended as indicated:

Under its terms, the Plan continues from year to year, provided such
continuance is approved annually by vote of the fund's 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
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, Salomon Smith Barney will provide the Board of
Directors periodic reports of the amounts expended under the Plan and the
purpose for which such expenditures were made.
PERFORMANCE DATA AND COMPUTATION OF YIELD
From time to time, the fund may quote yield, effective yield and
taxable equivalent yield of its Class A and Class Y shares in
advertisements or in reports and other communications to shareholders.
The Fund's yield for the seven-day period ended March 31, 1999 for
Class A shares was ___% (the effective yield was ___%) and for Class Y
shares was ___% (the effective yield was ____%) with an average dollar-
weighted portfolio maturity of __ days.
To compute current yield the fund divides the net change, exclusive
of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account
having a balance of one share at the beginning of a recent seven-day base
period by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period and
multiplying this base period return by 365/7. Effective yield is computed
by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value
of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at
the beginning of the period and dividing such net change by the value of
the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period
return, and then compounding the base period return by adding 1, raising
the sum to a power equal to 365/7, and subtracting 1 from the result. The
fund also quotes the average dollar-weighted portfolio maturity of the
corresponding seven-day period. In addition, the fund may publish a tax-
equivalent yield based on federal tax rates that demonstrates the taxable
yield necessary to produce an after-tax yield equivalent to the fund's
yield. The tax-equivalent yield does not include any element of non tax-
exempt income.
Although principal is not insured, it is not expected that the net
asset value of the fund's shares will fluctuate because the fund uses the
amortized cost method of valuation. (See "Valuation of Shares and
Amortized Cost Valuation" below.) The investor should remember that yield
is a function of the type, quality and maturity of the instruments in the
portfolio, and the fund's operating expenses. While current yield
information may be useful, investors should realize that current yield
will fluctuate and that the yield 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. The yield figures may not
provide a basis for comparison with bank deposits or other investments
that pay a fixed yield for a stated period of time.
VALUATION OF SHARES AND AMORTIZED COST VALUATION
Each Class' net asset value per share is calculated on each day,
Monday through Friday, except days on which the New York Stock Exchange
(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 fund uses the "amortized cost method" for valuing portfolio
securities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Act (the "Rule"). The
amortized cost method of valuation of the fund's portfolio securities
(including any securities held in the separate account maintained for
"when-issued" securities involves valuing a security at its cost at the
time of purchase 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 instrument. The
market value of portfolio securities will fluctuate on the basis of the
creditworthiness of the issuers of such securities and with changes in
interest rates generally. While the amortized cost method provides
certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which value, as
determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price the fund
would receive if it sold the instrument. During such periods the yield to
investors in the fund may differ somewhat from that obtained in a similar
company that uses mark-to-market values for all its portfolio securities.
For example, if the use of amortized cost resulted in a lower (higher)
aggregate portfolio value on a particular day, a prospective investor in
the fund would be able to obtain a somewhat higher (lower) yield than
would result from investment in such similar company, and existing
investors would receive less (more) investment income. The purpose of
this method of valuation is to attempt to maintain a constant net asset
value per share, and it is expected that the price of the fund's shares
will remain at $1.00; however, shareholders should be aware that despite
procedures that will be followed to have a stabilized price, including
maintaining a maximum dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90
days, investing in securities that have or are deemed to have remaining
maturities of only 13 months or less and investing in only United States
dollar-denominated instruments determined by the Board of Directors to be
of high quality with minimal credit risks and which are Eligible
Securities as defined below, there is no assurance that at some future
date there will not be a rapid change in prevailing interest rates, a
default by an issuer or some other event that could cause the fund's price
per share to change from $1.00.
An Eligible Security is defined in the Rule to mean a security
which: (a) has a remaining maturity of 397 days or less; (b) (i) is rated
in the two highest short-term rating categories by any two NSROs that have
issued a short-term rating with respect to the security or class of debt
obligations of the issuer, or (ii) if only one NRSRO has issued a short-
term rating with respect to the security, then by that NRSRO; (c) was a
long-term security at the time of issuance whose issuer has outstanding a
short-term debt obligation which is comparable in priority and security
and has a rating as specified in clause (b) above; or (d) if no rating is
assigned by any NRSRO as provided in clauses (b) and (c) above, the
unrated security is determined by the Directors to be of comparable
quality to any such rated security.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Except as otherwise noted below, shares of each class may be
exchanged for shares of the same class in any of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds, to the extent shares are offered for sale in the shareholder's
state of residence. Exchanges of Class A and Class Y shares are subject
to minimum investment requirements and all shares are subject to other
terms or requirements of the fund into which exchanges are made and a
sales charge may apply.
Class A Exchanges. Class A shares of each fund will be subject to
the applicable sales charge upon the exchange of such shares for Class A
shares of another fund of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds sold with a sales
charge.
Class Y Exchanges. Class Y shareholders of a fund who wish to
exchange all or a portion of their Class Y shares for Class Y shares in
any of the funds identified above may do so without imposition of any
charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Excessive
exchange transactions may be detrimental to each fund's performance and
its shareholders. The investment manager may determine that a pattern of
frequent exchanges is excessive and contrary to the best interests of a
fund's other shareholders. In this event the fund may, at its discretion,
decide to limit additional purchases and/or exchanges by the shareholder.
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 Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds 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 constitutes an
abusive pattern of exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone.
See "Redemption of Shares - Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program."
Exchanges will be processed at the net asset value next determined, plus
any applicable sales charge. Redemption procedures discussed above 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
registration of the shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee
is required. Before exchanging shares, investors should read the current
prospectus describing the shares to be acquired. These exchange
privileges are available to shareholders resident in any state in which
the fund shares being acquired may legally be sold. The Company reserves
the right to modify or discontinue exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior
notice to shareholders.
TAXES
The following is a summary of selected federal income tax
considerations that may affect the fund and its shareholders. This 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 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) qualifies as a regulated investment company and (b) distributes to its
shareholders at least 90% of its taxable net investment income and net
short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital loss and 90%
of its tax-exempt interest income (reduced by certain expenses for its
taxable year), the fund will not be liable for federal income taxes to the
extent its taxable net investment income and its net realized short-and
long-term capital gains, if any, are distributed to its 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 to the extent it is
deemed related to such exempt-interest dividends. 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 for federal
income tax purposes, any loss on the sale or exchange of such share, to
the extent of such exempt-interest dividend, may be disallowed. In
addition, the Code may require a shareholder, if he or she receives
exempt-interest dividends, to treat as taxable income a portion of certain
otherwise non-taxable social security and railroad retirement benefit
payments. Furthermore, that portion of any exempt-interest dividends paid
by the fund which represents income derived from private activity bonds
held by the fund may not retain its federal 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 and distributions may be a specific tax 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
the fund's 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 and (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.
Long term capital gains, if any, realized by the fund will be
distributed annually as described in the 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 to
shareholders after the close of the fund's taxable year. If a shareholder
receives a capital gain dividend with respect to any share and redeems or
sells the share before it has been held by the shareholder for more than
six months, then any loss (to the extent not disallowed pursuant to the
other six-month rule described above relating to exempt-interest
dividends) on the sale or other disposition of such share will be treated
as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the capital gain dividend.
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 for the prior calendar year. Any
dividends attributable to interest on municipal obligations generally will
be taxable as ordinary dividends for state personal income tax purposes
even if such dividends are excluded from gross income for federal income
tax purposes except, in certain states, to the extent they are
attributable to interest on obligations of those states and certain of
their agencies or instrumentalities and any other applicable requirements
are satisfied.. 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, written notice 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 or
exempt from federal income taxation and the dollar amount subject to
federal income taxation, if any, will vary for each shareholder depending
upon the size and duration of each shareholder's investment in the fund.
At March 31, 1999, the unused capital loss carryovers of the Fund
were approximately $______. These amounts are available to be applied
against any future realized gains. The carryovers expire as follows:
$_____ in 2000, $_____ in 2001, $_____ in 2002, $_____2003 and $_____ on
2004.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on
April 1, 1980, and is registered with the SEC as a non-diversified, open-
end management investment company.
Class A and Class Y shares represent interests in the assets of the
fund and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights on
the same terms and conditions except that expenses related to the
distribution of each Class of shares are borne solely by each Class and
each Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to
provisions of the fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertain to a
particular Class. Fund shares do not have cumulative voting rights; are
fully paid when issued; have no preemptive, subscription or conversion
rights; and are redeemable.
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 on vote for each full share owned and 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.
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 consolidation to apply
to their account should contact their Financial Consultants or the
Transfer Agent.
PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut
Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, serves as the custodian of the
fund. Under the custody agreement with the fund, PNC holds the fund's
portfolio securities and keeps all necessary accounts and records. For
its services, PNC receives a monthly fee based upon the month-end market
value of securities held in custody and also receives certain securities
transaction charges. The assets of the fund are held under bank
custodianship in compliance with the 1940 Act.
First Data Investor Services Group, Inc., located at Exchange Place,
Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves as the Transfer Agent of the fund.
Under the transfer agency agreement, the Transfer Agent maintains the
shareholder account records for the fund, handles certain communications
between
shareholders and the fund and distributes dividends and distributions
payable by the fund. For these services, the Transfer Agent receives a
monthly fee computed on the basis of the number of shareholder accounts it
maintains for the fund during the month, and is reimbursed for certain
out-of-pocket expenses.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fund's financial information will be incorporated by reference
to the funds Annual Reports to shareholders for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999 which will be subsequently filed in a post - effective
amendment to this registration.
APPENDIX A
RATINGS OF MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS
Description of Ratings of State and Local Government Municipal Notes
Notes are assigned distinct rating symbols in recognition of the
differences between short-term credit risk and long-term risk. Factors
affecting the liquidity of the borrower and short-term cyclical elements
are critical in short-term ratings, while other factors of major
importance in bond risk, long-term secular trends for example, may be less
important over the short run.
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's):
Moody's ratings for state and municipal short-term obligations will be
designated Moody's Investment Grade ("MIG"). A short-term rating may
also be assigned on an issue having a demand feature - a variable rate
demand obligation. Such ratings will be designated as VMIG. Short-term
ratings on issues with demand features are differentiated by the use of
the VMIG symbol to reflect such characteristics as payment upon periodic
demand rather than fixed maturity dates and payment relying on external
liquidity. Additionally, investors should be alert to the fact that the
source of payment may be limited to the external liquidity with no or
limited legal recourse to the issuer in the event the demand is not met.
MIG 1/VMIG 1 -- This designation denotes best quality. There is present
strong protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or
demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
MIG 2/VMIG 2 -- This designation denotes high quality. Margins of
protection are ample although not so large as in the preceding group.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group:
SP-1+ -- This rating indicates a very strong or strong capacity to pay
principal and interest and the possession of overwhelming safety
characteristics.
Description of Two Highest Municipal Bond Ratings
Moody's Investors Service, Inc.:
Aaa -- Bonds that are rated Aaa are judged to be 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 that 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 owner 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.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"):
AAA -- Debt rated 'AAA' has the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity
to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA -- Debt rated 'AA' has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the highest rated issues only in small degree.
Description of Highest Commercial Paper Ratings
Moody's Investors Service, Inc.:
Prime 1 -- Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions)
have a superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory
obligations. Prime-1 repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the
following characteristics: leading market positions in well-established
industries; high rates of return on funds employed; conservative
capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset
protection; broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges
and high internal cash generation; and well established access to a range
of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group:
A-1 -- This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding
timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues
determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with
a plus (+) sign designation.
* * *
After purchase by the Fund, a security may cease to be rated or its rating
may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase by the Fund.
Neither event will require a sale of such security by the Fund; however,
the Manager will consider such event in determining whether the Fund
should continue to hold the security. To the extent that a rating may
change as a result of changes in rating services or their rating systems,
the Fund will attempt to use comparable ratings as standards for
investments in accordance with the investment policies contained in the
Prospectus.
