MARKET HIGHLIGHT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

California is currently experiencing a meaningful economic resurgence, as it
enjoys its best financial position of the last eight to ten years. In our view,
the Golden State's economic recovery has been driven mainly by the growth of
new, more diversified industries, which has effectively provided the state with
a broader economic base. The nation's largest state economy, and the seventh
largest economy in the world, now appears to be running on all cylinders as real
estate prices have shown marked improvements.

HEATH B. MCLENDON                       JOSEPH P. DEANE

Chairman                                Vice President and
                                        Investment Officer

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney California
Municipals Fund Inc. ("Fund") for the period ending August 31, 1999. In this
report, we summarize the period's prevailing economic and market conditions and
outline our portfolio strategy. A detailed summary of the Fund's performance can
be found in the appropriate sections that follow.

Performance Update

For the six-month period ended August 31, 1999, the California Municipals Fund
posted total returns of a negative 4.15%, 4.46% and 4.43% for its Class A, B and
L shares, respectively, without sales charges. In comparison, the Fund's Lipper,
Inc. peer group average posted a total return of a negative 3.60% for the same
period. (Lipper is a major fund-tracking organization.) Over the six-month
period covered by this report, the Fund distributed income dividends totaling
$0.38 per Class A share. (Please note that a portion of the income may be
subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax.)

Municipal Bond Market Update

We believe that the municipal bond market is approaching a temporary bottom. The
Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") has implemented two monetary policy adjustments --
a 25 basis point increase in June and a 25 basis point increase in August -- and
those actions should remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. We believe
that fixed income markets are returning to "normal" in the aftermath of forced
liquidations by major hedge funds and negatively impacted global markets in late
1998. In our opinion, long U.S. Treasury yields represent good value and
municipal bonds are trading at roughly 95%-96% of governments. This comparison
substantiates the fact that municipal securities are trading at low valuations
relative to governments since, under normal market conditions, municipal
securities have historically yielded roughly 85% of similar maturity Treasuries.

The recent upward pressure on municipal yields appears to result largely from
two factors: 1) the lack of demand for municipal bonds by the traditional
institutional sectors that have supported the municipal market; and 2)
additional pressures resulting from the pre-Y2K avalanche of issues in the
taxable market, which has attracted institutional investors who would otherwise
buy municipals.

Yields have rebounded sharply, up nearly three quarters of 1% since the
beginning of 1999. The slope of the municipal yield curve has remained extremely
steep, with 20-year municipals yielding roughly 120 basis points more than
one-year paper. (The yield curve measures the difference between short- and
long-term rates.) In the U.S. Treasury market, the difference between one-year
and 30-year bond yields is only 80 basis points.

California Economic Highlights

California is currently experiencing a meaningful economic resurgence, as it
enjoys its best financial position of the last eight to ten years. Prior to
1990, the structural underpinnings of California's economy were supported by its
strong economic growth due in large part to its aerospace

and defense industries and a continually appreciating real estate market.
However, during the past several years, the Golden State's economic recovery has
been driven mainly by the growth of new, more diversified industries, which has
effectively provided a broader economic base. The nation's largest state
economy, and the seventh largest economy in the world, now appears to be running
on all cylinders as real estate prices throughout the state have shown marked
improvements. Building activity posted impressive gains in June. Total building
value was up 18.4% from June 1998, primarily from an almost 27% growth in the
value of residential permits. Existing home sales in California through June
have increased roughly 9.5%, while the median price of a home in California has
increased approximately 8.2% over June 1998. Furthermore, California's office
vacancy rate is among the lowest in the U.S.

We think these gains, coupled with California's lowest unemployment levels in
eight years and an annual state GDP of more than $1 trillion, should allow
California to remain a competitive economic force for many years to come.

Investment Strategy

As noted, the Fund seeks to provide California investors with as high a level of
dividend income exempt from federal income taxes and California state personal
income tax as is consistent with conservative investment management and the
preservation of capital. As of August 31, 1999, the Fund's average weighted
maturity is approximately 19.3 years.

Also, as of August 31, 1999, approximately 99% of the Fund's holdings were rated
investment grade (BBB/Baa and higher) by either Standard & Poor's Corporation or
Moody's Investors Service Inc., with 74.3% of the Fund invested in AAA bonds,
the highest possible rating. (Investment-grade bonds are those rated Aaa, Aa, A
and Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services, or that have an equivalent rating by any nationally
recognized statistical rating organization, or determined by the manager to be
of equivalent quality.)

The Fund's largest holdings are concentrated in water/sewer bonds (20.4%),
hospital bonds (12.8%) and education bonds (7.0%).

We are positive on California municipal bonds. Additionally, we believe that
buying bonds with relatively longer maturities (20 to 30 years) and lower
coupons (5% and a bit lower) will enable us to be more aggressively positioned
for what should be a drop in long-term interest rates later this year.

Until recently, our investment strategy had been focused primarily on buying
high-grade, short-maturity bonds in anticipation of the ensuing increase in
interest rates. Currently, with recent interest rate increases behind us, we are
aggressive buyers of longer, high-grade discount bonds. We believe that investor
sentiment has weakened and the market has taken on a negative psychology.

Municipal Bond Market Outlook

Our outlook for the municipal bond market is optimistic. We think that the
actions of the Fed were preemptively conservative. Inflation should remain in
check, at least in the near term. A possible easing of economic activity as a
result of Y2K ramifications could prove positive for fixed income markets.

Looking ahead, we believe that the U.S. economy should remain strong in the
coming months with muted inflationary pressures. Recent economic conditions have
created opportunities for municipal securities to catch up with Treasuries, and
we continue to see good value at the long end of the market.

With long-term municipal bond yields in the 5.75% range and inflation under
control, "real," inflation-adjusted yields on longer intermediate- and long-term
municipals are competitive.

Following the Fed's August 24, 1999 short-term interest rate increase of 0.25%,
we do not anticipate

further policy change for the remainder of 1999 amid optimism that the Fed has
acted sufficiently to curb inflationary pressures.

As always, we will be monitoring these events closely. Thank you for investing
in the Smith Barney California Municipals Fund.

      deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 4.00% and 1.00%,
      respectively; Class B shares reflect the deduction of a 4.50% CDSC, which
      applies if shares are redeemed within one year from purchase, this CDSC
      declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and thereafter by 1.00%
      per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L shares also reflect the
      deduction of a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed within the
      first year of purchase.

Growth of $10,000 Invested in Class A Shares of the Smith Barney California
Municipals Fund Inc. vs. the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index and the Lipper
California Municipal Fund Average+

                               [GRAPHIC OMITTED]

+     Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares on August
      31, 1989, assuming deduction of the maximum 4.00% sales charge at the time
      of investment and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at
      net asset value through August 31, 1999. The Lehman Brothers Municipal
      Bond Index is a weighted composite which is comprised of more than 15,000
      bonds issued within the last 5 years, having a minimum credit rating of at
      least Baa and a maturity of at least 2 years, excluding all bonds subject
      to the Alternative Minimum Tax and bonds with floating or zero coupons.
      The index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and
      trading expenses of a mutual fund. The Lipper California Municipal Fund
      Average is composed of an average of the Fund's peer group of 109 mutual
      funds investing in California municipal bonds as of August 31, 1999. 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 values may be more or less than the original cost. No
      adjustment has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or
      capital gains.

Bond Ratings (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth below:

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

AAA      -- Bonds rated "AAA"' have the highest rating assigned by Standard &
            Poor's. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely
            strong.

AA       -- Bonds rated "AA" have a very strong capacity to pay interest and
            repay principal and differ from the highest rated issues only in a
            small degree.

A        -- Bonds rated "A" have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
            principal although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
            effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
            bonds in higher rated categories.

BBB      -- Bonds rated "BBB" are regarded as having an adequate capacity to
            pay interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit
            adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or
            changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened
            capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debts in this
            category than in higher rated categories.

BB       -- Bonds rated "BB" have less near-term vulnerability to default
            than other speculative issues. However, they face major ongoing
            uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or
            economic conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet
            timely interest and principal payments.

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

Aaa      -- Bonds rated "Aaa" are judged to be of the best quality. They
            carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally
            referred to as "gilt edge." Interest payments are protected by a
            large or by an exceptionally stable margin, and principal is secure.
            While the various protective elements are likely to change, such
            changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the
            fundamentally strong position of these bonds.

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 that 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 that suggest a susceptibility to
            impairment some time in the future.

Baa      -- Bonds rated "Baa" are considered to be medium grade obligations,
            i.e., 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. Such
            bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have
            speculative characteristics as well.

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

Short-Term Security Ratings (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SP-1     -- Standard & Poor's highest rating indicating very strong or strong
            capacity to pay principal and interest; those issues determined to
            possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus
            (+) sign.

A-1      -- Standard & Poor's highest commercial paper and variable-rate
            demand obligation ("VRDO") rating indicating that the degree of
            safety regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very
            strong; those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety
            characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign.

VMIG 1   -- Moody's highest rating for issues having a demand feature -- VRDO.

P-1      -- Moody's highest rating for commercial paper and for VRDO prior to
            the advent of the VMIG 1 rating.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

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

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are: (a)
security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities are valued
at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices as provided by an
independent pricing service; (c) securities maturing within 60 days are valued
at cost plus accreted discount or minus amortized premium, which approximates
value; (d) gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated using the
specific identification method; (e) interest income, adjusted for amortization
of premium and accretion of original issue discount, is recorded on an accrual
basis; market discount is recognized upon the disposition of the security; (f)
direct expenses are charged to each class; management fees and general fund
expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets; (g) dividends and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (h) 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; (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 February 28, 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. Accordingly, undistributed net investment income of
$1,220,517 was reclassified to paid-in capital. Net investment income, net
realized gains and net assets were not affected by this adjustment; 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. Exempt-Interest Dividends and Other Distributions

The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from Federal income tax and from designated state
income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the
shareholders of the Fund.

Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are
declared and paid at least annually.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other
   Transactions

SSB Citi Fund Management LLC ("SSBC"), formerly known as SSBC Fund Management
Inc., a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as
investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays SSBC an advisory fee calculated at
an annual rate of 0.30% of the average daily net assets. The investment advisory
fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

SSBC also acts as the Fund's administrator for which the Fund pays a fee
calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets up to $500
million and 0.18% of the average daily net assets in excess of $500 million.
This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

CFBDS, Inc. ("CFBDS") acts as the Fund's distributor. Salomon Smith Barney Inc.
("SSB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, as well as certain other broker-dealers,
continues to sell Fund shares to the public as members of the selling group.

There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 4.50% on Class B shares,
which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase. This CDSC
declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L shares also
have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the first year of
purchase. In addition, Class A shares also have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if
redemption occurs within the first year of purchase. This CDSC only applies to
those purchases of Class A shares, which, when combined with current holdings of
Class A shares, equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. These purchases do
not incur an initial sales charge.

For the six months ended August 31, 1999, SSB and CFBDS received sales charges
of approximately $593,000 and $49,000 on sales of the Portfolio's Class A shares
and Class L shares respectively. In addition, CDSCs paid to SSB were
approximately:

                                           Class A       Class B        Class L
================================================================================
CDSCs                                     $ 16,000       $187,000       $  9,000
================================================================================

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to its
Class A, B and L shares calculated at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average
daily net assets for each respective class. In addition, the Fund pays a
distribution fee with respect to its Class B and L shares calculated at an
annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55% of the average daily net assets of each class,
respectively.

For the six months ended August 31, 1999, total Distribution Plan fees incurred
were:

                                           Class A       Class B        Class L
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees                    $581,257       $797,052       $172,589
================================================================================

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

4. Investments

During the six months ended August 31, 1999, the aggregate cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

================================================================================
Purchases                                                           $189,498,754
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales                                                                180,282,628
================================================================================

At August 31, 1999, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of
investments for Federal income tax purposes were as follows:

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                      $ 38,754,591
Gross unrealized depreciation                                       (24,695,200)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation                                        $ 14,059,391
================================================================================

5. Futures Contracts

Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are recognized
as assets. Securities equal to the initial margin amount are segregated by the
custodian in the name of the broker. Additional securities are also segregated
up to the current market value of the futures contracts. 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 received or made 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 Fund records a realized gain or loss
equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing
transactions and the Fund's basis in the contract.

The Fund enters into such contracts to hedge a portion of its portfolio. The
Fund bears the market risk that arises from changes in the value of the
financial instruments and securities indices (futures contracts).

At August 31, 1999, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

6. Capital Shares

At August 31, 1999, the Fund had 500 million shares of $0.001 par value capital
stock authorized. The Fund has the ability to establish multiple classes of
shares. Each share of a class represents an identical interest in the Fund and
has the same rights, except that each class bears certain expenses specifically
related to the distribution of its shares.

(1)   For Class Y shares, transactions are for the period from September 22,
      1998 (inception date) to February 28, 1999.

(2)   On June 12, 1998, Class C shares were renamed Class L shares.

7. Concentration of Credit

The Fund primarily invests in debt obligations issued by the State of California
and local governments in the State of California, its political subdivisions,
agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. The
Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of California
municipal securities than is a municipal bond fund that is not concentrated in
these issuers to the same extent.

8. Capital Loss Carryforward

At February 28, 1999, the Fund had, for Federal income tax purposes,
approximately $2,922,924 of capital loss carryforwards, expiring of February 28,
2007, available to offset future realized gains. To the extent that these
carryforward losses can be used to offset net realized capital gains, such
gains, if any, will not be distributed.
