Smith Barney Fundamental Value Fund Inc.
- ----------------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:

The stock market has been driven higher in the last year by two principal
factors: Interest rates peaked in late 1994; and then interest rates began a
sharp decline falling nearly 200 basis points (2%) for longer maturities. It is
our belief that 80% of the market advance in 1995 can be attributed to declining
interest rates. A second important reason for the broad based advance in
equities has been the continuing record inflows into mutual funds. In the three-
month period through September 30, 1995, nearly $35 billion found its way into
the mutual fund industry.

Risks Are Higher Now

It is unlikely that interest rates will be the same major catalyst for higher
equity prices, in the months ahead, as they have been year-to-date. Total funds
raised in recent public offerings have exceeded the amount of new money coming
into mutual funds. With overall mutual funds cash positions at a low 7%, it
seems that there is less "fuel" now than earlier in the year to ignite a
significant move in stock prices.

The stock market in 1995 has had substantial speculation concentrated in
technology issues. The publicity surrounding the introduction of Windows-95 and
the unusual level of interest in new issues such as Netscape have been part of
the "mania" for technology issues. In stock markets such as these, we often
underperform and we have done so in 1995. For the twelve months ended September
30, 1995, the total return for the Fundamental Value Fund was 19.94% versus
29.71% for the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock Index over the same period. Over the
long term, we believe we will do well in good markets and difficult markets,
more than offsetting any shortfall during more speculative advances. Now we must
ask: What are the prospects for the market in the next 3-6 months and how should
fund assets be positioned given the trends we see over the next three to five
years?

Cash Is King?

Our belief is that stock market risks are higher now and when fund managers have
their lowest cash positions in years, we would like to have a little more of
this asset class. Our current cash position is about 20% of assets. Other assets
which incorporate offensive/defensive characteristics include our 7% position in
real estate investments trusts, possibly the best relative value in the market
today, and our 15% commitment to energy stocks. We also have about a 2 1/2%
position in selected gold shares. Should the market enter "choppy waters," we
believe these positions would do substantially better than stocks in general. We

                                                                               1
<PAGE>
 
also point out that these holdings, with the exception of cash, reflect some of
our most important beliefs where the market is concerned for the next three to
five years.

Financial Assets vs. "Hard Assets"

Generally speaking, the best performance during the last decade were financial
assets on a global basis. For example, emerging market stocks have appreciated
at an annual rate in excess of 18% in the last ten years. During the same period
of time, other notable performers include the S&P 500, +14%, and U.S. long
treasury bonds, +12%. During this time, 3-month Treasury bills (riskless) have
provided a 5.8% annual return.

"Hard asset" categories, such as commercial real estate, +3.2%, gold, +2.2%, and
commodities (i.e., energy, forest products, metals) in general have
underperformed Treasury bills. If one believes in regression-to-the mean, it is
probable that hard assets will do much better than financial assets in the next
three to five years. Naturally it is possible to find "financial assets," common
stocks, which represent so-called hard assets or benefit from trends within this
area of the market. In addition, there are many companies involved in one or
more areas of technology that are deeply involved in natural resources. The
energy service companies come to mind. One theme we intend to pursue are those
technology-based companies that are closely involved with capital goods,
infrastructure and natural resource production.

We believe we are at a major inflection point where supply and demand for energy
and many natural resources are concerned. With more than 4 billion consumers now
part of economies following capitalist philosophies, it is clear that the demand
for natural resources will grow faster in the next five to ten years than during
the last decade. The critical resource area will be energy and this is one
reason why we are overweighted in this sector of the market. Energy stocks now
make up 15% of our portfolio versus 9% for the S&P 500.

Current Thoughts on the Portfolio

We currently are underweighted in technology, 9%, versus 16% for the S&P 500,
but this clearly will be an area of market leadership over the next three to
five years. In the short run, investors' "animal spirits" have run wild and many
stocks have reached prices that incorporate expectations that may be difficult
to meet in the short run. Technology issues are not true growth stocks, but are
cyclical growth stocks because of the nature of their capital expenditure cycle
and pricing fluctuations which affect most companies' operations. Therefore, it
is often best to augment core positions during periods when pricing and other
pressures provide buying opportunities.

Currently our weighting in financial services is 13% of assets, in line with the
S&P 500. However, for most of 1995, we have been overweighted. We

2
<PAGE>
 
reduced our holdings somewhat in recent months given the strong relative
performance of this sector. This was done by selling several issues which are in
the process of being taken over and, in our opinion, have limited remaining
upside potential. We continue to believe that consolidation within financial
services is a trend that will endure for many years. We also feel that selected
financial services companies with an international charter are growth stocks
which continue to be available at single digit P/E ratios. Although values in
financial services may not be as compelling as they were earlier in the year,
they are still quite good which is why we retain our market weighting.

The Fundamental Value Fund has roughly a 5% weighting in several major Japanese
stocks. Japan seems to be in the early stages of re-inflating its economy and
reducing the value of the yen compared to the U.S. dollar. Japanese stocks have
declined by more than 50% in the last five years. We think selected financial
services companies and exporters should do very well in an environment where the
U.S. dollar is appreciating vs. the yen.

Although excess capacity and pricing pressure characterizes the retailing
environment, we are finding selected values in this area of the market. Some
leading stocks are down nearly 50% from their 1992-1993 highs. In recent weeks,
we have found some very interesting values in health care and entertainment as
well. When depressed prices reflect a lack of enthusiasm for a particular stock
or sector, we often find that these are the best hunting grounds to find great
long-term values.

In summary, we believe we are well positioned for whatever circumstances develop
in the stock market in the time period ahead. We thank you for your continued
support and your confidence in our long-term investment management approach.

Sincerely,

/s/ Heath B. McLendon                           /s/ John G. Goode

(1) Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net
    asset value and does not reflect deduction of the applicable sales charge
    with respect to Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales
    charges ("CDSC") with respect to Class B and C shares.

(2) Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net
    asset value. In addition, Class A shares reflect the deduction of the
    maximum initial sales charge of 5.00%; Class B shares reflect the deduction
    of a 5.00% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed less than one year
    from initial purchase and thereafter declines by 1.00% per year until no
    CDSC is incurred. Class C shares reflect the deduction of a 1.00% CDSC which
    applies if shares are redeemed within the first year of purchase.

 *  Inception dates for Class A, B and C shares are November 12, 1981, 
    November 6, 1992 and August 10, 1993, respectively.

 +  Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the 
    total return for the year.

+ Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares on September
  30, 1985, assuming deduction of the maximum 5.00% sales charge at the time of
  investment and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains at net asset value
  through September 30, 1995, compared to the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
  Stock Price Index. The index composed of 500 widely held common stocks listed
  on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and over-the-counter
  market. The index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and
  trading expenses of a mutual fund. The performance of the Fund's other classes
  may be greater or less than the Class A shares' performance indicated on this
  chart, depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were
  incurred by shareholders investing in the other classes.

  All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future
  results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption
  value may be more or less than original cost. No adjustment has been made for
  shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

     1. Significant Accounting Policies

     Smith Barney Fundamental Value Fund Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland corporation,
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company.

     The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are:
(a) securities transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities
traded on national securities markets are valued at the closing prices on such
markets; securities for which no sales price was reported and U.S. Government
and Government Agency Obligations are valued at the mean between bid and asked
price; (c) short-term investments that have a maturity of more than 60 days are
valued at prices based on market quotations for securities of similar type,
yield and maturity; (d) short-term investments that have a maturity of 60 days
or less are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium,
as applicable; (e) dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
interest income is recorded on the accrual basis; (f) realized gains or losses
on the sale of securities are calculated based on the specific identification
method; (g) direct expenses are charged to each class; management fees and
general fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets; (h)
dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-
dividend date; (i) the accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S.
dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies
against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of
securities, and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange
quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. Differences
between income and expense amounts recorded and collected or paid are adjusted
when reported by the custodian bank; and (j) the Fund intends to comply with the
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of
taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income
and excise taxes.

     In addition, the Fund may enter into forward contracts in order to hedge
against foreign currency risk. These contracts are marked-to-market daily, by
recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current
market rate as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses are
recognized when contracts are settled.

     2. Repurchase Agreements

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

     3. Management Agreement and Transactions with Affiliated Persons

     Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBH"), acts as investment adviser of the Fund. The Fund
pays SBMFM an advisory fee calculated at annual rate of 0.55% of the average
daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

     SBMFM also serves as administrator for the Fund and is paid a fee
calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets. This fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly.

     In addition, The Boston Company Advisors, Inc. ("Boston Advisors"), an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation, acted as sub-
administrator to the Fund. SBMFM paid Boston Advisors a portion of its
administration fee at a rate agreed upon from time to time between SBMFM and
Boston Advisors. As of February 13, 1995 this relationship was terminated.

     Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares. For the year ended September 30, 1995, SB received brokerage
commissions of $12,132 and sales charges of approximately $808,600 on sales of
the Fund's Class A shares.

     There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 5.00% on Class B
shares if redemption occurs less than one year from initial purchase and
thereafter declines by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class C shares
have a 1.00% CDSC if redemption occurs within the first year from the date such
investment was made. For the year ended September 30, 1995, CDSCs of
approximately $820,900 were paid to SB.

                                                                              17

     Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a distribution fee with
respect to its Class B and C shares calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of the
average daily net assets for each class. The Fund also pays a service fee with
respect to its Class A, B and C shares calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of
the average daily net assets for each class. For the year ended September 30,
1995, total 12b-1 fees for Class A, B and C shares are $802,308, $4,242,319 and
$101,168, respectively.

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

     4. Investments

     During the year ended September 30, 1995, the aggregate cost of purchases
and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) was $465,070,551 and $265,033,390, respectively.

     5. Forward Foreign Currency Contract

     As of September 30, 1995, the Fund had 16 open forward foreign currency

==================================================================================================
</TABLE>
 
     6. Option Contracts

     Premiums paid when put or call options are purchased by the Fund, represent
investments, which are marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires,
the Fund will realize a loss in the amount of the premium paid. When the Fund
enters into a closing sales transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss
depending on whether the proceeds

Smith Barney
Fundamental Value Fund Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)  
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from the closing sales transaction are greater or less than the premium paid for
the option. When the Fund exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss
from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be
decreased by the premium originally paid. When the Fund exercises a call option,
the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be
increased by the premium originally paid.

     When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium
received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-
to-market daily. When a written option expires, the Fund realizes a gain equal
to the amount of the premium received. When the Fund enters into a closing
purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the
closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was
sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security,
and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a call option is
exercised the cost of the security sold will be increased by the premium
originally received. When a put option is exercised, the amount of the premium
originally received will reduce the cost of the security which the Fund
purchased upon exercise.

     The following option transactions occurred during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1995:

     The Fund may purchase securities which are subject to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale if not more than 15% of the value of the Fund's total
assets would be invested in such securities or in securities for which there is
no readily available market. In purchasing securities which could not be sold by
the Fund without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Fund will endeavor to obtain the right to registration at the expense of the
issuer. There generally will be a lapse of time between the decision by the Fund
to sell any such security and the registration of the security permitting sale.
During any such period, the security will be subject to market fluctuations.

Independent Auditors' Report    
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Smith Barney Fundamental Value Fund Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of Smith Barney Fundamental Value Fund Inc. as of
September 30, 1995, the related statement of operations for the year then ended,
the statements of changes in net assets for the years ended September 30, 1995
and 1994, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year
period ended September 30, 1995. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned at
September 30, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smith Barney
Fundamental Value Fund Inc. as of September 30, 1995, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial highlights for the
respective stated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
