ECONOMIC REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

The U.S. economy continues to provide the domestic capital markets with the
almost ideal conditions of low interest rates, lower inflation and steady
economic growth. First quarter Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") growth was well
ahead of expectations and led to the prospect of a Federal Reserve Board ("Fed")
tightening midway through the first half of 1998. Reported inflation, however,
remains low and the Asian currency crisis has caused the Fed to lean towards a
more neutral stance.

Despite the strong first quarter, the U.S. economy has recently showed signs of
slowing down. While industrial production and retail sales have gone down, the
most compelling evidence of the slowdown comes from the bond market. For the
first time since 1990, the yield curve, defined by the spread between the
two-year and ten-year Treasury yields, is now slightly inverted. (The yield
curve shows the difference between short- and long-term yields.) In the past, an
inverted yield curve has been a harbinger of an economic downturn.

Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan notes in his latest testimony that the Fed remains
more concerned about inflation rather than an economic recession. We see no
indications of either an economic or earnings recession in the near future and
the risk in the stock market, in our view, is largely mitigated by this outlook.

The U.S. stock market posted handsome returns in the first half of 1998. On a
year-to-date basis, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA") rose 13.2% while
the broader Standard and Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500") gained 17.7%. At this
pace, the stock market would yet again produce another year of 30% or more
appreciation, a three-year run unprecedented in the history of the stock market.
The bond market produced healthy returns as yields on 30-year U.S. Treasury
bonds fell to their lowest level since the introduction of these securities in
1977.

We look ahead to a slower economy in the second half of 1998. The absence of
inflationary pressures should keep long-term bond yields below 6% while the
combination of lofty valuations and slower corporate earnings growth in 1998
could find stocks at the upper end of a trading range for the rest of the year.

EQUITY MARKET COMMENTARY

After three remarkable years of market appreciation averaging more than 30%
annually, the first quarter's S&P 500 total return of almost 15% was that much
more impressive. Since 1995, the stock market's climb has also been supported by
a dramatic increase in money flows by domestic and foreign investors, as well as
corporate buybacks and merger activity. Low domestic inflation and steady
revenue gains have also contributed to the expansion in the P/E multiple. (a P/E
ratio shows the relationship between a stock's price and the company's earnings
for the last four quarters.)

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE TRAVELERS VARIABLE PRODUCTS FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stock market volatility increased significantly in the second quarter. Investor
focus shifted from the prospects of Fed tightening to the Asian crisis and
eventually to hopes of reasonable corporate earnings growth for the second
quarter. Large-capitalization stocks posted a gain for the second quarter of
1998 while small-capitalization stocks declined to fall farther behind their
large-cap stock counterparts.

A seesaw pattern in stock prices persisted at the beginning of the second
quarter of 1998, as stock prices remained almost unchanged at the end of April
from a month earlier. Interest rate concerns took center stage towards the end
of April as the Fed publicly discussed a shift to a tightening bias. Long-term
interest rates shot up above 6% while the S&P 500 fell 4.3% from April 23, 1998
to April 27, 1998.

Inflation, however, continued to remain low and, despite a strong first quarter
GDP report, a slowdown in the second half of 1998 became more apparent. Bond
prices stabilized as a result of such evidence in late April and early May and
stock prices recovered to the levels established at the end of the first
quarter.

Renewed concerns over Asia and slowing earnings growth rocked the stock market
in May. The S&P 500 declined by almost 2% while the Russell 2000 Index fell
nearly 5%. (The Russell 2000 Index is made up of 2,000 smaller-capitalized
U.S.-based companies whose common stocks trade on either the New York, American
or NASDAQ stock exchanges.) Several companies provided early guidance about
lower second quarter earnings during the month of May. Investors already worried
about record valuations in the stock market, showed no mercy in their response
to such disappointments as some stock prices tumbled down by as much as 50%.

Growth stocks performed better than value stocks in the second quarter of 1998
in the large-cap universe. In particular, the technology, health care and
consumer discretionary sectors performed quite well while the energy sector
underperformed significantly in the wake of falling oil prices.

The widely anticipated earnings pre-announcement season at the end of June, when
companies confess to upcoming earnings shortfalls, was not as severe as in prior
quarters. Many stock market investors appear to have drawn a positive inference
from this event and the current outlook for second quarter earnings seems
favorable.

Besides the historically high valuations for large-capitalization stocks, we
think the principal risk to the U.S. stock market remains on the earnings front.
If Asia remains in a protracted recession, which is a likely scenario at this
point, a slowdown in the global economy could take its toll on U.S. corporate
profits. A prolonged period of anemic earnings growth would trigger a correction
in the stock market through a contraction in the price-to-earnings multiple. We
remain cautious about the U.S. stock market in the short term but bullish over
the intermediate to long term.

FIXED INCOME MARKET COMMENTARY

Just when many investors were getting somewhat more comfortable with risk again,
the Asian financial crisis re-erupted in May and June. Unrest in Indonesia and
further weakness in the Japanese yen were some of the latest highlights in the
latest chapter of the Asian crisis. The region's turmoil sent Asia's stock
markets down again and caused major setbacks in most emerging country stock and
bond markets. In addition, heightened investor concerns about greater risk
triggered yet another crisis in Russia's fragile markets.

In reaction to the renewed troubles in Asia, the U.S. bond market rallied as
many global investors sought refuge in U.S. Treasury securities during the
reporting period. Combined with U.S. Secretary of Treasury Rubin's intervention
to stabilize the yen, the rally in U.S. Treasurys helped to support the U.S.
stock and bond markets by the end of the second quarter of 1998. Within the U.S.
bond markets, investment-grade bonds barely performed better than U.S.
Treasurys. Many longer-maturity bonds could not keep pace with the strong
performance of the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond. Mortgage-backed security spreads
widened and discount bonds performed better than premium bonds, as mortgage
prepayments remained high. Corporate bond spreads widened due to heavy issuance
(i.e., more supply) with the most widening occurring in bonds issued by
corporations that were more impacted by the Asian crisis.

Municipal bonds performed poorly as heavy issuance and investor "sticker shock"
kept tax-exempt bond yields from declining as much as U.S. Treasurys. High yield
bonds and emerging market bonds also lagged U.S. Treasurys during the second
quarter of 1998, although high-yield bonds are still ahead of U.S. Treasurys for
the first six months of 1998.

<pg$pcn>
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE TRAVELERS VARIABLE PRODUCTS FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We continue to believe that interest rates in the U.S. will slowly move lower as
the crisis in Asia pushes U.S. GDP down to a 1% to 2% annual range in the second
half of 1998. Exports from the U.S. have sharply declined and the trade deficit
has widened rapidly. We expect even greater deterioration in the U.S. trade
deficit as Asian imports accelerate in the second half of the year. Inventory
growth in the U.S. was strong in the first half of 1998, and that condition
should slow projected U.S. economic growth in the second half of the year. In
addition, we expect that corporate profits will continue to be flat, which
combined with high inventories and weak commodity prices, should help to weaken
capital spending during the next several quarters.

Within the U.S. bond market, we anticipate that the yield curve will be steeper
six to twelve months as of this writing. We think that the yield curve will
likely stay flat until it becomes clearer that the inflationary risks from
currently tight U.S. labor markets have passed. As rates decline, bond spreads
are likely to widen. In addition, bond spreads should widen more because of a
continuation of the flight to quality as well as the fact that the supply of
bonds should remain high at these rate levels. The overall low inflationary
environment and the expected economic slowdown, along with the increased
volatility in the stock market, have created a favorable backdrop for fixed
income investments.

MANAGED ASSETS TRUST

Managed Assets Trust ("Fund") seeks to provide a high total investment return
through a fully managed investment policy. For the six months ended June 30,
1998, the Trust had a total return of 12.76% versus 17.72% for the S&P 500 and
4.17% for the Lehman Government/Corporate Index benchmark.

During the first half of 1998, stock selection in the health care, consumer
discretionary, producer durables and autos and transportation sectors made the
strongest positive contribution to the Fund's overall relative performance. In
the health care sector, the Fund benefited from its positions in companies with
strong diversified sources of earnings such as Chancellor Media, New York Times
and Meredith Corp. as well as a number of different retailers such as Costco,
Albertsons and Jones Apparel.

In the producer durables sector, the managers' positions in Textron and United
Technologies helped performance in the first quarter. In the transportation
sector, their emphasis on the better performing airline and automobile
industries also made a positive contribution to performance. Their individual
stock picks here such as Delta Air Lines, AMR Corp. and Ford Motor Co. all
performed well. Their positions in Equitable Companies and Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter helped performance in the financial services sector towards the end of
the second quarter.

The managers lost ground relative to the benchmark primarily in the technology
sector. Their relative performance was penalized by not holding a number of
better performing stocks such as EMC Corp. and Digital Equipment. They were also
hurt by overweight positions in VLSI Technology and Oracle, which both reported
earnings disappointments.

The managers believe that the current economic expansion has further to go and
that inflation will remain low. These factors argue in favor of a continuation
of the current bull market. Earnings growth, however, is clearly slowing down
and the recent market strength and current valuations are both predicated on a
healthy earnings rebound in the second half of the year and into 1999. Besides
the historically high valuations for large capitalization stocks, the principal
risk to the U.S. stock market remains on the earnings front. A prolonged period
of anemic earnings growth would trigger a correction in the stock market through
a contraction in the P/E multiple. They remain cautious about the U.S. stock
market over the short term. In this environment, the managers believe that it is
particularly important to identify companies with sustainable earnings growth at
attractive valuations across a wide variety of industries.

In their disciplined approach to stock selection, the managers screen their
research universe of over 1,000 securities for companies that offer improving
fundamentals and relative earnings gains at discounted stock valuations. In the
technology sector, they focus on higher growth industries like networking and
software through their positions in Cisco and Intuit. They maintain an
underweight position in the weak performing semi-conductor group by excluding
stocks such as Motorola that have produced a string of negative earnings
surprises. In the health care sector, they continue to emphasize Guidant, a
leading manufacturer of medical devices that regulate heart activity through
chest implants. The managers' focus among the financial services sector remains
on the securities industry where they have positions in Merrill Lynch, Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter and The Equitable Companies.

HIGH YIELD BOND TRUST

The High Yield Bond Trust ("Fund") seeks to generate income. The assets of the
Fund will be invested in bonds which, as a class, sell at discounts from par
value and are typically high-risk securities. For the six months ended June 30,
1998, the Fund had a total return of 5.15%. In comparison, the Lehman Aggregate
Bond Index posted a total return of 3.93% for the same period.

The high yield bond market generated relatively weak results in the second
quarter of 1998 and underperformed most other sectors of the bond market. Total
returns for the U.S. bond markets were in the 1% to 6% range, with the high
yield bond market at the lower end.

The 30-year U.S. Treasury bond generated the strongest results (i.e., more than
6%) of all the sectors, as many investors became more convinced that the Asian
crisis would contribute to an economic slowdown in the U.S. beginning in the
second quarter of 1998. The U.S. Treasury market has been sought out as a "safe
haven" by many investors concerned about increased economic uncertainty.
Moreover, an extremely heavy amount of new high yield bond issuances also caused
the high yield bond market to underperform versus other U.S. bond market
sectors. The higher-rated issues generated the strongest results among high
yield bonds given their greater sensitivity to interest rates. On the other
hand, the lowest-rated high yield bond issues generated the weakest returns and
that was not surprising given their greater sensitivity to general economic
conditions and stock market performance. While the stock market generated
positive results during the reporting period, there was considerably greater
volatility in the stock markets because of the higher uncertainty among many
investors.

Year-to-date, the total of newly issued high yield bonds was roughly $110
billion, which is more than twice last year's figure of $50 billion. Moreover,
year-to-date there has been approximately $15 billion of cash inflows into high
yield bond mutual funds, while above last year's total of $8 billion, an amount
that was clearly insufficient to counterbalance the effects of the extremely
heavy new issue calendar. However, continued strong demand for high yield bonds
from pension funds and insurance companies somewhat limited the underperformance
of the high yield bond market versus other bond sectors during the second
quarter of 1998.

The U.S. economy today remains generally supportive of high yield bonds and
inflation continues to be modest. In fact, recent retail sales growth in the
U.S. and housing sales and employment remains quite strong. The manager believes
that it is still an open question as to whether Asia's problems will have any
meaningful negative impact on future U.S. economic growth. While the Fed remains
concerned about the strength of the U.S. economy and the potential for higher
inflation in the future, there has been little evidence of inflationary
pressures so far.

As the high yield bond market continued to underperform during the second
quarter of 1998, the manager began to gradually take advantage of what he
believed to be attractively priced "B" rated issues. Given the continued
problems in Asia, the manager plans to remain underweighted in basic commodity
industries such as steel, forest products and petrochemicals, industries that
have been negatively affected by deflationary trends over the past six months.
(Deflation is when prices actually fall. Deflation should not be confused with
disinflation. Disinflation is the slowing down of the rate at which prices
increase.) The manager has recently started to lower the exposure to the energy
industry given the continued weakness in energy prices and the expectation that
as long as Asia remains mired in difficulties, energy prices should remain
depressed. The manager remains positive on the long-term trends in the energy
industry and does not plan to entirely eliminate the Fund's current energy
positions.

While the manager still expects U.S. economic growth to slow and corporate
profit margins may deteriorate for the rest of 1998, a meaningful U.S. economic
slowdown is not expected for the balance of the year. As a result, the manager
has become more opportunistically invested in select better-priced "B" and "BB"
rated new issues.

CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

The Capital Appreciation Fund ("Fund") seeks growth of capital through the use
of common stocks. Income is not an objective. The Fund invests principally in
common stocks of small to large companies that are expected to experience wide
fluctuations in price, both rising and falling. For the six months ending June
30, 1998, the Capital Appreciation Fund posted a total return of 29.99%. In
comparison, the Russell 2000 Index returned 4.93% for the same period.

<pg$pcn>
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE TRAVELERS VARIABLE PRODUCTS FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Markets generally moved ahead in the second quarter, masking the sharp
volatility that characterized the period. The S&P 500 rose 2.8%, while the DJIA
increased 1.8%. Despite a strong start, equity markets struggled mid-quarter
amid bad news from Asia and disappointing earnings reports in the semiconductor
industry. Better news helped the markets recover lost ground to end the quarter
on a high note. Meanwhile, the U.S. economic backdrop has been very positive.
Consumer spending remained resilient, housing starts held at near-record highs
and weakness in Asia kept the U.S. economy from boiling over. Inflation remained
in-check, and signs of slower economic growth in the second half of the year
drove the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bond down to 5.6% by the end of the
quarter.

During the period, the Fund outpaced its benchmark, the S&P 500, supported by
strong gains in the managers' large capitalization growth stocks, especially in
the technology and pharmaceutical industries. Among their technology stocks,
they benefited from their focus on market leaders like Cisco Systems, Microsoft,
and America Online (AOL). These companies enjoy a dominant market position, and
were able to weather the Asian crisis with no visible earnings impact. Cisco
Systems was a particularly strong performer. The company offset its Asian
exposure with strong gains elsewhere, and its equipment business is poised for
extraordinary growth against the backdrop of telecommunications deregulation and
the expansion of Internet traffic.

Meanwhile, Microsoft recovered from concerns over the Justice Department's
anti-trust suit, to rebound on an Appeals Court opinion in support of the
company. The managers remain impressed with Microsoft's potential -- their
product pipeline remains tremendous and advanced word on the Windows 98 launch
has been very positive. AOL was another strong performer. The market is
beginning to recognize AOL's successful transformation from service provider to
media channel, as its subscriber base recently surpassed the total number of MTV
viewers.

Pharmaceuticals have been among their strongest positions, supported by several
broad-based themes. First, demographic trends and the rising global utilization
of existing drugs have created a positive backdrop for the industry leaders.
Additionally, technological innovations have accelerated the R&D process, and
over the next few years the managers expect to see a dramatic increase in new
drug launches, to treat everything from cancers to obesity. Despite a
substantial run-up in its stock price, the managers remain very positive on
Pfizer's prospects for a variety of reasons. Not only does it offer a very
strong product pipeline of its own, but its marketing channel is so renowned
that companies like Monsanto and Warner-Lambert have sought Pfizer out to
partner on some of their most promising new drugs.

Among their financial stocks, they are also upbeat on BankAmerica. The bank's
strategic merger with NationsBank has provided the combined bank with a very
profitable geographic and demographic footprint across the Sunbelt. With their
geographic expansion complete, the combined bank is set to cut costs, exploit
synergies, boost operating margins, and unleash shareholder value. Their
cultures are complementary, and with BankAmerica's management at the helm, the
managers think the bank is well placed to emerge as a dominant franchise in the
new banking landscape.

Despite the Fund's strong performance, the managers did have a few
disappointments. AIG, the largest insurer in Asia, had its results restrained
due to the lingering currency storms. However, AIG is using this opportunity to
expand its distribution system and market reach in Asia, and they remain very
confident in the company's long-term potential. Additionally, the managers have
maintained some minor positions in a handful of rapidly growing midsize
companies. While they believe these companies could one day emerge as dominant
players within their respective industries, many of these holdings sport
relatively high price-to-earnings multiples due to their exceptional growth.
During the quarter, the managers saw stocks with higher valuations come under
pressure, as investors flocked toward the more predictable earnings of the large
capitalization names. Although this was a short-term setback, the managers held
on to these positions due to their impressive long-term prospects.

Looking forward, the managers do not expect the ride to get any smoother. Firms
with significant international exposure, especially in Asia, will most likely
continue to see their profit margins squeezed. The current risk is that the
Asian undertow could become strong enough to pull down U.S. and European
economic growth. They personally view this as a very small risk however, given
the resilience of consumer demand at home and the benefits of restructuring and
monetary convergence in Europe. Nonetheless, the managers will continue to
monitor the situation carefully. Most importantly, they have tried to invest in
companies that transcend the vagaries of the marketplace and can weather these
storms with minimal damage to their bottom lines.

BOND RATINGS

All ratings are by Standard & Poor's Rating Service ("Standard & Poor's"),
except that those identified by an asterisk (*) are rated by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. ("Moody's"). The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are
set forth below:

Standard & Poor's -- Ratings from "AA" to "C" may be modified by the addition of
a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign to show relative standings within the major
rating categories.

<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
AAA -- Bonds rated "AAA" has the highest rating assigned by
Standard & Poor's. Capacity to pay interest and repay
principal is extremely strong.
AA -- Bonds rated "AA" has a very strong capacity to pay interest
and repay principal and differs from the highest rated issue
only in a small degree.
A -- Bonds rated "A" has a strong capacity to pay interest and
repay principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to
the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic
conditions than debt in higher rated categories.
BBB -- Bonds rated "BBB" are regarded as having an adequate
capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas they
normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse
economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and
repay principal for bonds in this category than for bonds in
higher rated categories.
BB, B -- Bonds rated "BB" and "B" are regarded, on balance, as
and CCC predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay
interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of
the obligation. "BB" represents a lower degree of
speculation than "B", and "CCC" the highest degree of
speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality
and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by
large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse
conditions.
C -- The rating "C" is reserved for income bonds on which no
interest is being paid.
D -- Bonds rated "D" are in default, and payment of interest
and/or repayment of principal is in arrears.
</TABLE>

Moody's -- Numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 may be applied to each generic rating
from "Aa" to "C", where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest rating within its
generic category.

<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
Aaa -- Bonds rated "Aaa" are judged to be of the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment fisk 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 rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the "Aaa" group they comprise what
are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated
lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may
not be as large as in "Aaa" securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may
be other elements present which make the long-term risks
appear somewhat larger than in "Aaa" securities.
A -- Bonds rated "A" possess many favorable investment attributes
and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations.
Factors giving security to principal and interest are
considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the
future.
Baa -- Bonds rated "Baa" are considered to be medium grade
obligations; that is, they are neither highly protected nor
poorly secured. Interest payment and principal security
appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
unreliable over any great length of time. These bonds lack
outstanding investment characteristics and may have
speculative characteristics as well.
Ba -- Bonds rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative elements;
their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the
protection of interest and principal payments may be very
moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both good
and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.
B -- Bonds rated "B" generally lack characteristics of desirable
investments. Assurance of interest and principal payments or
of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long
period of time may be small.
Caa -- Bonds rated "Caa" are of poor standing. These issues may be
in default, or present elements of danger may exist with
respect to principal or interest.
Ca -- Bonds rated "Ca" represent obligations which are speculative
in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have
other marked shortcomings.
C -- Bonds rated "C" are the lowest rated class of bonds, and
issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor
prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

NR -- Indicates that the bond is not rated by Standard & Poor's or
Moody's.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Managed Assets Trust, High Yield Bond Trust, Capital Appreciation Fund
and Money Market Portfolio (formerly known as Cash Income Trust) (collectively,
"Fund(s)") are each a Massachusetts business trust registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
management investment companies. Shares of the Funds are offered only to
insurance company separate accounts that fund certain variable annuity and
variable life insurance contracts.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds are:
(a) security 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 were reported and U.S. government and agency
obligations are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked
prices or on the basis of quotations received from reputable brokers or other
recognized sources; (c) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost
plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates value;
(d) securities that have a maturity of 60 days or more are valued at prices
based on market quotations for securities of similar type, yield and maturity;
(e) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of
discount, is recorded on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date; foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or
as soon as practical after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend
declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence; (f) gains or losses on
the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification
method; (g) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date; (h) 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 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; (i) the character of income and gains to be
distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles. At December 31, 1997,
reclassifications were made to the capital accounts of the Managed Assets Trust,
High Yield Bond Trust and Capital Appreciation Fund to reflect permanent
book/tax differences and income and gains available for distributions under
income tax regulations. Accordingly, for the High Yield Bond Trust, a portion of
accumulated net realized loss amounting to $818,671 was reclassified to paid-in
capital. In addition, for the Capital Appreciation Fund, a portion of
accumulated net realized gain amounting to $144 was reclassified to paid-in
capital. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not
affected by this change; (j) the Funds intend to comply with the requirements 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; and (k)
estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities
and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements
are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any
other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results
to differ.

2. DIVIDENDS

Money Market Portfolio declares and records a dividend of substantially all
of its net investment income on each business day. Such dividends are paid or
reinvested on the payable date.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

Travelers Asset Management International Corporation ("TAMIC"), an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc., acts as investment manager and
advisor to the Managed Assets Trust ("MAT"), High Yield Bond Trust ("HYBT"),
Capital Appreciation Fund ("CAF") and Money Market Portfolio ("MMP"). MAT, CAF
and MMP pay TAMIC an investment management and advisory fee calculated at the
annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75% and 0.3233%, respectively of its average daily net
assets. HYBT pays TAMIC an investment management and advisory fee calculated at
an annual rate of: 0.50% on the first $50,000,000, 0.40% on the next
$100,000,000, 0.30% on the next $100,000,000 and 0.25% on the amount over
$250,000,000 of its average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and
paid monthly.

TAMIC has a sub-advisory agreement with The Travelers Investment Management
Company, Inc. ("TIMCO"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group
Inc. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreement, TIMCO is responsible for the
day-to-day portfolio operations and investment decisions for MAT. As a result,
TAMIC pays TIMCO, as sub-advisor, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of MAT.

<pg$pcn>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

TAMIC also has a sub-advisory agreement with Janus Capital Corporation
("Janus"). Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreement, Janus is responsible for the
day-to-day portfolio operations and investment decisions for CAF. As a result,
TAMIC pays Janus, as sub-advisor, 0.55% of the average daily net assets of CAF.

Travelers Insurance Company ("Travelers Insurance") acts as administrator
to the Funds. The Funds pay Travelers Insurance an administration fee calculated
at an annual rate of 0.06% of its average daily net assets. Travelers Insurance
has entered into a sub-administrative services agreement with Mutual Management
Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBH").
Travelers Insurance pays MMC, as sub-administrator, a fee calculated at an
annual rate of 0.06% for the average daily net assets of each Fund. This fee is
calculated daily and paid monthly.

Brokerage commissions of $234,787 were received from affiliated brokers.

One Trustee and all officers of the Funds are employees of Travelers Group
Inc., or its subsidiaries.

4. INVESTMENTS

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the aggregate cost of purchases
and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

Net unrealized appreciation................................. $61,667,823 $554,066 $218,792,073
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

5. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Funds purchase (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 Funds require continual maintenance
of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to 102% of the
repurchase price.

6. FUTURES CONTRACTS

Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are
recognized as assets. The initial margin is segregated by the custodian and is
noted in the schedule of investments. During the period the futures contract is
open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or
losses by "marking-to-market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of
the contract at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are
made or received and recognized as assets due from or liabilities due to broker,
depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the
contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and
the Funds' basis in the contract.

The Funds enter into such contracts to hedge portions of their respective
portfolios. The Funds bear the market risk that arises from changes in the value
of the financial instruments and securities indices (futures contracts).

At June 30, 1998, MAT had sold 12 financial futures contracts on the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index expiring in September 1998. The basis value of such
contracts was $3,320,411. The market value of such contracts on June 30, 1998
was $3,429,000, resulting in an unrealized loss of $108,589.

<pg$pcn>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

7. OPTIONS CONTRACTS

Premiums paid when put or call options are purchased by the Funds,
represent investments, which are "marked-to-market" daily. When a purchased
option expires, the Funds realize a loss in the amount of the premium paid. When
the Funds enter into closing sales transactions, the Funds realize a gain or
loss depending on whether the proceeds from the closing sales transaction are
greater or less than the premium paid for the option. When the Funds exercise 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 Funds exercise a call option, the cost of the security
which the Funds purchase upon exercise will be increased by the premium
originally paid.

At June 30, 1998, the Funds had no open purchased call or put options
contracts.

8. SECURITIES TRADED ON A TO-BE-ANNOUNCED BASIS

The Funds may trade securities on a "to-be-announced" ("TBA") basis. In a
TBA transaction, the Funds commit to purchasing or selling securities for which
specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the
face amount and maturity date in GNMA/FNMA transactions. Securities purchased on
a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Funds, normally 15
to 45 days later. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and
their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

At June 30, 1998, MAT held no TBA securities.

9. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD

At December 31, 1997, HYBT had, for Federal income tax purposes,
approximately $3,281,000 of capital loss carryforwards available to offset
future capital gains. To the extent that these carryforward losses can be used
to offset realized capital gains, it is probable that such gains will not be
distributed. The amount and expiration of the carryforwards are indicated below.
Expiration occurs on December 31 of the year indicated:

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

10. FOREIGN SECURITIES

Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments
involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with
investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include
revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic
developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign
governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile
than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government.

THE TRAVELERS SERIES TRUST
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

U.S. Government Securities Portfolio ("Portfolio") seeks to select investments
from the point of view of an investor concerned primarily with highest credit
quality, current income and total return. The assets of the Portfolio will be
invested in direct obligations of the United States, its agencies and
instrumentalities. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Portfolio had a
total return of 4.95%, which was above its Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. peer
group total return average of 3.27%. (Lipper is an independent fund-tracking
organization.) As of June 30, 1998, the composition of assets was roughly 79% in
mortgage-backed securities and approximately 21% in U.S. Government securities.

During the reporting period, two distinct themes dominated bond markets: ongoing
economic turmoil in Asia and steady U.S. economic growth with low inflation.
Both of these developments have provided quite favorable conditions for bonds
and helped send U.S. interest rates to historical lows.

As you can see from the chart below, interest rates have continued to decline
during the past six months:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
12/31/97 6/30/98
-------- -------
<S> <C> <C>
90-Day U.S. Treasury Bill................................... 5.34% 5.09%
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note................................... 5.64 5.47
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note................................... 5.70 5.46
10-Year U.S. Treasury Bond.................................. 5.74 5.45
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond.................................. 5.92 5.62
</TABLE>

It has been more than a year since the first signs of trouble in Asian began to
surface and, so far, no clear resolution has emerged. The U.S. dollar has
strengthened considerably in response to weakening economies in the region, and
as the crisis drags on, fears of another round of currency devaluations has
heightened. Moreover, major Asian banks could soon find themselves enveloped in
a crisis of their own as they face mounting numbers of non-performing loans.

One result of the Asian crisis has been a flight of capital to U.S. financial
markets as many investors sought out a "safe haven" from the tumult surrounding
many global markets. The manager believes that foreign investors, whose holdings
of U.S. Treasury securities have nearly doubled in the last three years, have
been attracted to Treasurys because of a strong U.S. dollar as well as the
competitive yields that they currently offer.

In addition, a robust U.S. economy has dramatically increased tax receipts,
enabling government officials to project a federal budget surplus for the first
time in years and reducing the need for federal borrowing. Issuance of U.S.
Treasury securities in 1998 is expected to be substantially less than in 1997
and auctions of 3-year U.S. Treasury notes have been eliminated all together.
This decreased supply combined with a burgeoning demand has helped sustain a
U.S. Treasury market rally, driving the yield on the benchmark 30-year U.S.
Treasury bond to new historic lows.

For its part, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") has chosen to remain on the
sidelines. At its meetings in March 1998 and May 1998, the Federal Open Market
Committee ("FOMC"), the Fed's policy-making panel, elected to leave short-term
interest rates unchanged. However, the FOMC did indicate a bias toward
tightening monetary policy on fears that persistent strength in the U.S. economy
would soon lead to a pick-up in inflationary pressures. The FOMC also ended its
July 1998 meeting without action but has not yet released details of its
decision.

Looking ahead, the manager views the U.S. bond market as very attractive. With
currently low interest rates and mortgage prepayments at their highest since
1993, some would argue that interest rates should not decline further. There is
evidence that suggests interest rates could drop even more. Real interest rates
(the interest rate after subtracting the effects of inflation) are approaching
4% compared to a historical norm of 2.75%. The manager anticipates that by
year's end the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond could yield as low as 5% and
short-term rates could reach 4% within a year.

Moreover, there are a number of reasons to expect a slowdown in U.S. economic
growth, therefore diminishing the threat of higher inflation. The manager
believes that the U.S. has yet to feel the full impact of the Asian crisis and
the accompanying narrowing of corporate profit margins. In addition, we do not
believe that business investment and home building can sustain their recent
energetic pace. For all of the above reasons, the manager remains very positive
on the prospects for U.S. government agency securities.

SOCIAL AWARENESS STOCK PORTFOLIO

The Social Awareness Stock Portfolio ("Portfolio") seeks long-term capital
appreciation and retention of net investment income by selecting investments,
primarily common stocks, that meet the social criteria established for the
Portfolio. The

<pg$pcn>
THE TRAVELERS SERIES TRUST
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Portfolio's social criteria currently excludes companies that derive a
significant portion of their revenues from the production of tobacco, tobacco
products, alcohol, or military defense related services or gambling services.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Portfolio returned 18.80% and did
better than the S&P 500, which posted a total return of 17.72% for the same
period.

The second quarter of 1998 provided very mixed results in the stock market,
depending on where you looked to identify performance. The S&P 500, a
traditional measure of the market, rose 2.9%, but the Index's performance was
significantly influenced by the larger companies that dominate the Index. When
viewed on a basis that gives equal weight to all companies, the same 500 stocks
showed a decline in price of 1.3%.

For the year-to-date, the equal weight S&P 500 underperformed the size-weighted
S&P 500 by 550 basis points (about 12.1% versus roughly 17.6%) and the small-
and mid-sized companies did even worse (about 6% to approximately 9%). (A basis
point is one-one hundredth of a percent.) Approximately 60% of industry groups
fell short of the S&P 500 Index's performance during the most recent three
months of the reporting period. As a general rule, the Portfolio's manager would
have wanted to own big, growth, long bonds, retailers, computers and healthcare.
Within that environment, their Portfolio performed quite well.

For the first half, the Portfolio exceeded all of these market measures,
providing an 18.80% return, despite maintaining about 10% cash reserves. In
examining these results, the managers estimate that some 60% can be attributable
to the economic sector emphasis that they adopted in the Portfolio, with the
remaining 40% associated with their specific stock selection within those
sectors. The portfolio managers were relatively active on a transactional basis
during the first half of the year, making in excess of 70 individual trades.
After eliminating partial actions, 13 new positions were established, 23
enlarged, 7 eliminated and 5 reduced. In total, the managers were a net buyer of
about $4 million in stock. Their new purchases were broadly diversified and
included energy, consumer, insurance, technology, transportation, REITs,
restaurants, agriculture, health care and education.

At quarter end, they held a total of 82 individual stocks, with an overweighting
in consumer cyclical and transportation. The managers continue to de-emphasize
the capital goods, communication service and energy sectors. The quality grade
of their stock portfolio averages around an S&P A-, with a market beta of 0.97.
(Beta is a measure of a security's volatility relative to the rest of the
market. The S&P 500 has a beta of one. A higher beta figure indicates a security
that is more volatile than the market and a security with a beta figure less
than one is less volatile than the market.) The average market capitalization of
their stocks was $31 billion. The managers expect that their strategy during the
second half of the year will emphasize internal portfolio adjustments, rather
than any major asset allocation shift. Nonetheless, if the market were to
provide some downside volatility without significant deterioration in the
underlying fundamental investment conditions, they believe that they possess the
flexibility to increase their equity allocation by another 10%.

UTILITIES PORTFOLIO

The Utilities Portfolio ("Portfolio") seeks to provide current income by
investing in equity and debt securities of companies in the utility industries.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Portfolio had a total return of
8.10%. In comparison, the Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. peer group total
return average was 7.62%. (Lipper is an independent fund-tracking organization.)

During the first half of 1998, the utility industry continued to go up with
several of the major indices reaching all-time highs. The Portfolio's positive
performance was a result of a favorable interest rates, attractive relative
valuations of the electric utility group when compared to the overall stock
market and a continuation of improving regulatory reforms within the utility
industry. The transition to a more competitive electric industry continued to
evolve with several additional companies creating long-range plans to focus on
one sector (generation or distribution) of the industry instead of the
traditional fully integrated model. This creates additional opportunities for
investors as the managers expect a less homogeneous group and variance in
performance of individual companies. The utility sector should become less
focused on income and more on total investment return.

The managers remain positive on the utility sector as a balance to a diversified
investment portfolio. They expect overall economic growth to slow in the second
half of 1998 which should provide a positive environment for utilities bonds.
Moreover, any increase in stock market volatility could shift investment capital
to more defensive sectors such as utilities. Their portfolio focus emphasizes
quality companies with a strong financial position and special situations where
management has begun to implement a strategic plan for future growth.

<pg$pcn>
THE TRAVELERS SERIES TRUST

The Portfolio's asset allocation is 89% stocks, 5% bonds and 6% cash. The common
stock sector consists of 55% electric utilities, 18% natural gas and 14%
telecommunications/media. New additions included MDU Resources, Montana Power,
Peco Energy, Public Service Enterprises and National Fuel Gas. The Portfolio's
managers have sold their holdings of Central and Southwest Corporation, Long
Island Lighting and French Telecom.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The U.S. Government Securities, Social Awareness Stock and Utilities
Portfolios (collectively, "Portfolio(s)") are separate investment portfolios of
The Travelers Series Trust ("Trust"). The Trust is a Massachusetts business
trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company and consists of these
portfolios and 16 other separate investment portfolios: Travelers Quality Bond,
Lazard International Stock, MFS Emerging Growth, Federated High Yield, Federated
Stock, Large Cap, Equity Income, Disciplined Mid Cap Stock (formerly known as
Mid Cap Disciplined Equity Fund), Convertible Bond, Strategic Stock, Disciplined
Small Cap Stock, MFS Mid Cap Growth, MFS Research, Zero Coupon Bond Fund
Portfolio Series 1998, Zero Coupon Bond Fund Portfolio Series 2000 and Zero
Coupon Bond Fund Portfolio Series 2005 Portfolios. Shares of the Trust are
offered only to insurance company separate accounts that fund certain variable
annuity and variable life insurance contracts. The financial statements and
financial highlights for the other portfolios are presented in separate
semi-annual reports.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolios
are: (a) security 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 prices were reported and U.S. Government
and Agency obligations are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and
asked prices or on the basis of quotations received from reputable brokers or
other recognized sources; (c) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at
cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates
value; (d) securities that have a maturity of 60 days or more are valued at
prices based on market quotations for securities of similar type, yield and
maturity; (e) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and
accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis and dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date; (f) gains or losses on the sale of securities
are calculated by using the specific identification method; (g) dividends and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (h) the
Portfolios intend to comply with the requirements 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; (i) the character of income and gains to be
distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles. At December 31, 1997,
reclassifications were made to the capital accounts of the U.S. Government
Securities Portfolio, Social Awareness Stock Portfolio and Utilities Portfolio
to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and gains available for
distribution under income tax regulations. Accordingly, for the U.S. Government
Securities Portfolio, a portion of accumulated net realized gains amounting to
$3,817 was reclassified to paid-in capital. In addition, for the Social
Awareness Stock Portfolio, a portion of accumulated net realized gains amounting
to 8,124 was reclassified to paid-in capital. Net investment income, net
realized gains and net assets for each Portfolio were not affected by these
changes; and (j) estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding
assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when
financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment,
financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates
could cause actual results to differ.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

Travelers Asset Management International Corporation ("TAMIC"), an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc., acts as investment manager and
advisor to the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio ("USGS"). USGS pays TAMIC an
investment management and advisory fee calculated at the annual rate of 0.3233%
of its average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney
Holdings Inc. ("SSBH") and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers
Group Inc., acts as investment manager and advisor to the Social Awareness Stock
("SAS") and Utilities ("Utilities") Portfolios. SAS pays MMC an investment
management and advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of: 0.65% on the first
$50 million, 0.55% on the next $50 million, 0.45% on the next $100 million and
0.40% on amounts over $200 million of the average daily net assets. Utilities
pays MMC investment management and advisory fees calculated at an annual rate of
0.65% of the average daily net assets. These fees are calculated daily and paid
monthly.

<pg$pcn>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

Travelers Insurance Company ("Travelers Insurance") acts as administrator
to the Portfolios. The Portfolios pay Travelers Insurance an administration fee
calculated at an annual rate of 0.06% of the average daily net assets. Travelers
Insurance has entered into a sub-administrative services agreement with MMC.
Travelers Insurance pays MMC, as sub-administrator, a fee calculated at an
annual rate of 0.06% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio. This fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly.

One Trustee and all officers of the Trust are employees of Travelers Group
Inc., or its subsidiaries.

3. INVESTMENTS

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the aggregate cost of purchases
and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

<TABLE>

Net unrealized appreciation................................. $1,143,596 $9,064,959 $5,238,114
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

4. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Portfolios purchase (and their 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 Portfolios require
continual maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least
equal to 102% of the repurchase price.

5. FUTURES CONTRACTS

Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are
recognized as assets. The initial margin is segregated by the custodian and is
noted in the schedule of investments. During the period the futures contract is
open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or
losses by "marking-to-market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of
the contract at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are
made or received and recognized as assets due from or liabilities due to broker,
depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the
contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and
the Portfolio's basis in the contract.

The Portfolios enter into such contracts to hedge portions of their
respective portfolios. The Portfolios bear the market risk that arises from
changes in the value of the financial instruments and securities indices
(futures contracts).

At June 30, 1998, the Portfolios had no open futures contracts.

<pg$pcn>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

6. OPTIONS CONTRACTS

Premiums paid when put or call options are purchased by the Portfolios,
represent investments, which are "marked-to-market" daily. When a purchased
option expires, the Portfolios will realize a loss in the amount of the premium
paid. When the Portfolios enter into closing sales transactions, the Portfolios
will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the proceeds from the closing
sales transactions are greater or less than the premium paid for the option.
When the Portfolios exercise a put option, they 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 Portfolios exercise a call
option, the cost of the security which the Portfolios purchase upon exercise
will be increased by the premium originally paid.

At June 30, 1998, the Portfolios had no open purchased call or put options
contracts.

7. SECURITIES TRADED ON A TO-BE-ANNOUNCED BASIS

The Portfolios may trade securities on a "to-be-announced" ("TBA") basis.
In a TBA transaction, the Portfolios commit to purchasing or selling securities
for which specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade,
particularly the face amount and maturity date in GNMA/FNMA transactions.
Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to
the Portfolios, normally 15 to 45 days later. These transactions are subject to
market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as
for other securities.

At June 30, 1998, USGS held no TBA securities.

8. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD

At December 31, 1997, U.S. Government Securities Portfolio had, for Federal
income tax purposes, approximately $513,000 of capital loss carryforwards
available to offset future capital gains through 2004. To the extent that these
carryforward losses are used to offset capital gains, it is probable that the
gains so offset will not be distributed.

9. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of
shares of beneficial interest without par value. Transactions in shares of each
Portfolio were as follows:

(3) The ratio of expenses to average net assets for the year ended December 31,
1993 reflects an expense reimbursement by The Travelers in connection with
voluntary expense limitations. Without the expense reimbursement, the ratio
of expenses to average net assets would have been 0.77%.

(4) For the year ended December 31, 1996, The Travelers reimbursed the Portfolio
for $25,093 in expenses. If such fees were not waived and expenses not
reimbursed, the per share decrease of net investment income would have been
$0.06 and the actual expense ratio would have been 1.69%.

(5) The ratios of expenses to average net assets for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 reflect an expense reimbursement by The Travelers in
connection with voluntary expense limitations. Without the expense
reimbursements, the ratios of expenses to average net assets would have been
1.75%, 3.34% and 3.73%, respectively.
