Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the period ended June 30,
2000 for the Smith Barney Telecommunications Income Fund ("Fund"). In this
report, we review the factors that contributed to the Fund's performance during
the reporting period and discuss our outlook for the regional Bell operating
companies ("RBOC") that currently represent approximately 80% of the Fund's
holdings. The information provided in this letter represents the opinion of the
manager and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of
future results nor investment advice. We hope you find this report to be useful
and informative.

Market and Performance Update(1)

As you know, the Fund's main objective is to provide current income with
long-term growth of capital as a secondary objective. For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, the Fund returned a negative 9.21%. In comparison the Standard
and Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500 Index")(2) and the Lipper Inc. ("Lipper") peer
group average of all telecommunications funds reported negative total returns of
0.43% and 2.99%, respectively, for the same period. (Lipper is a major fund
tracking organization.)

The Fund's underperformance versus its Lipper peer group was influenced
significantly by its concentrated holdings in the RBOCs, which currently
represent approximately 80% of the Fund's assets. In the next section, we
provide a general overview of recent events affecting the RBOCs and the ongoing
consolidation of the telecommunications industry.

Market Overview

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the subsequent deregulation of the
telecommunications industry as outlined by the Act significantly changed the

competitive landscape for telecommunications companies. Increased competition in
long distance, the local telephone exchange business, wireless, video, Internet
and data has resulted in numerous mergers, joint ventures and strategic
alliances by many telecommunications companies.

For example, US West, a company with a growing presence in the data and Internet
service areas, and Qwest Communications, a developer and operator of
telecommunications networks, recently combined to form a business that now has
one of the most diverse revenue streams in the industry. This past month, the
merger between Bell Atlantic and GTE was finalized and the new company, Verizon,
is now the second largest telephone company in the U.S. offering local, long
distance, wireless, and data services.

The remaining two RBOCs -- SBC Communications and Bell South -- have recently
agreed to combine their domestic wireless assets and create a new joint-venture
company that we think should be well positioned to offer customers competitive,
coast to coast services. This new business combination should create the second
largest wireless operation in the United States.

Vodafone Airtouch PLC is a result of a merger that took place in June of 1999
between Vodafone Group PLC, an UK based mobile telecommunications company and
Airtouch Communications, a wireless telecommunications company providing
cellular services. That company is the second largest holding in your Fund.
Approximately 20% of the Fund's assets are invested in Vodafone Airtouch PLC.
Vodafone's recent acquisition of Mannesmann AG, one of Germany's largest
industrial conglomerates with a strong wireless operation in Europe, has
created, in our view, the strongest global wireless player.

Market Outlook

We remain optimistic about RBOCs as overall telecommunications service industry
revenues continue to grow more than 10% per year. However, fierce competition,
especially in the consumer long-distance telephone sector, has restrained growth
and narrowed operating margins. In addition, a regulatory cloud has materialized
over the entire telecommunications industry in the past few months following the
Department of Justice's prevention of the World Com/Sprint merger. We believe
this event may have consequences regarding further market consolidation.

Over the long term, however, the strategic goal of the largest telecommunication
companies -- including the RBOCs -- will be to provide not only long distance
and local telephone services but a bundle of services that include voice, video,

Internet and data. Internet and data operations are producing healthy year over
year growth, which we think may offset the slowing of growth brought on by the
competitive pressures in the long distance business.

Finally, the RBOCs should continue to offer a degree of stability for
conservative investors concerned with ongoing volatility in the stock market. In
addition, RBOCs typically maintain and offer attractive dividends.

In closing, thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Telecommunications
Income Fund.

Sincerely,

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Smith Barney Telecommunications Income Fund ("Fund"), an investment fund of
the Smith Barney Telecommunications Trust ("Trust"), a Massachusetts business
trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
non-diversified, open-end management investment company. Shares of the Fund are
not currently offered for sale to new investors.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund 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 are valued at current quoted
bid prices; securities, other than U.S. government agencies and obligations,
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; (c) securities
maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus
amortized premium, which approximates value; (d) dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis; (e)
dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date; (f) gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated using the
average-cost method for financial reporting purposes and the specific
identification method for tax purposes; (g) 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; (h) 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, 1999 reclassifications
were made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect permanent book/tax
differences and income and gains available for distributions under income tax
regulations. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not
affected by this adjustment; and (i) 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, Administration Agreement and Other
   Transactions

SSB Citi Fund Management LLC ("SSBC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney
Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"), which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.
("Citigroup"), acts as investment adviser to the Trust. The Fund pays SSBC an
investment advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.55% of the average
daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

SSBC also acts as the administrator of the Trust for which it receives a fee
calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of each
fund. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

Citi Fiduciary Trust Company ("CFTC"), formerly known as Smith Barney Private
Trust Company, another subsidiary of Citigroup, became the Fund's transfer agent
and PFPC Global Fund Services ("PFPC") became the Fund's sub-transfer agent.
CFTC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the size
and type of account. PFPC is responsible for shareholder recordkeeping and
financial processing for all shareholder accounts and is paid by CFTC. During
the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Fund paid transfer agent fees of $9,556
to CFTC.

All officers and one Trustee of the Trust are employees of SSB.

3. Investments

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the aggregate cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

================================================================================
Purchases                                                                    --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales                                                               $ 4,999,396
================================================================================

At June 30 2000, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of
investments for Federal income tax purposes were as follows:

================================================================================

Gross unrealized depreciation                                                --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation                                         $73,581,573

4. 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.

5. Shares of beneficial interest

At June 30, 2000, the Trust had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share.

Transactions in shares of the Fund were as follows:

                                           Six Months Ended        Year Ended
                                            June 30, 2000      December 31, 1999
================================================================================
Shares issued on reinvestment                    11,248              26,863
Shares reacquired                               (20,750)            (29,350)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Decrease                                     (9,502)             (2,487)
================================================================================

6. Concentration of Risk

Because the Fund concentrates its investments in one industry, its portfolio may
be subject to greater risk and market fluctuations than a portfolio of
securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives. The economic
and business cycle risks associated with the concentration of the Fund in only
one industry could mean that adverse conditions could substantially impact the
income earned by the Fund and the value of the Fund's holdings.
