      any, at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the
      applicable sales charges with respect to Class A and L shares or the
      applicable contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") with respect to
      Class B and L shares.

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

(3)   Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if
      any, at net asset value. In addition, Class A and L shares reflect the
      deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 4.00% and 1.00%,
      respectively; and 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. 

      All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future
      results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and
      redemption value may be more or less than the original cost. 

+     Inception dates for Class A, B and L shares are April 9, 1984, November 6,
      1992 and November 14, 1994, respectively.

FUND HIGHLIGHT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are very optimistic about the prospects for California's economy. Throughout
1998, we saw solid employment growth led primarily by high tech manufacturing
and construction. These gains in turn caused personal income levels to rise in
the Golden State as well as higher commercial and residential real estate
prices. Even as severe recessions wreaked havoc on many Asian economies
(California's largest export destinations) during the reporting period, overall
exports remained strong.

HEATH B. MCLENDON                       JOSEPH P. DEANE

Chairman                                Vice President and
                                        Investment Officer

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the annual report for the Smith Barney California
Municipals Fund Inc. ("Fund") for the year ended February 28, 1999. In this
report, we summarize the period's prevailing economic and market conditions and
outline our portfolio strategy. Detailed summaries of performance and current
holdings can be found in the appropriate sections that follow. We hope you find
this report to be useful and informative. 

A Special Discipline Series Fund

The Smith Barney California Municipals Fund is part of the Special Discipline
Series of Smith Barney Mutual Funds. The Special Discipline Series Funds are
mutual funds that explore opportunities in a narrower sector of the market or by
using a narrower investment focus.

Performance Update and Investment Strategy

For the year ended February 28, 1999, the Fund had a total return of 5.02%,
4.56% and 4.45% for its Class A, B and L shares, respectively, excluding sales
charges. In comparison, the Fund's Lipper Inc. peer group average posted a total
return of 6.43% over the same period. (Lipper Inc. is a major fund-tracking
organization.) Over the year covered by this report, the Fund distributed income
dividends totaling $0.80 per Class A share. Based on its net asset value (NAV)
of $16.93 as of February 28, 1999, and the current income dividend rate of
$0.063 for Class A shares, this equates to an annualized distribution rate of
4.47%. For a California resident in the combined federal and state income tax
bracket of 45.3%, the Fund's tax-free yield of 4.47% is equivalent to a taxable
yield of 8.17%.

As noted, the Fund seeks to provide California investors with as high a level of
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 February 28, 1999, the Fund's average weighted maturity was
approximately 19.3 years. At the end of February, 98% 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 roughly 68% of the Fund
invested in AAA-rated bonds, the highest possible rating.

California Economic Highlights

We are very optimistic about the prospects for California's economy. Throughout
1998, we saw solid employment growth led primarily by high tech manufacturing
and construction. These gains in turn caused personal income levels to rise in
the Golden State as well as higher commercial and residential real estate
prices. Even as severe recessions wreaked havoc on many Asian economies
(California's largest export destinations) during the reporting period, overall
exports remained strong.

We think that all of these positive factors should exert a favorable influence
on California's future growth potential. California's economy is currently
robust and well diversified and good economic conditions should enable the
Golden State to maintain its leadership role in the U.S. economy for many years
to come.

Municipal Bond Market Update and Outlook

During the Fund's reporting period, the bond markets have not been dull.
Beginning with the Asian crisis, Russia's default and the problems with a major
hedge fund we have certainly seen some turbulence. The bottom line though is
that inflation is near historic lows, the U.S. economy is quite solid and the
Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") has adopted a more accommodative stance for
short-term rates. It all adds up to a positive backdrop for bonds.

In our view, the large drop in rates last year in the U.S. government bond
market was not caused by economic fundamentals but primarily the unwinding of
huge short positions by major hedge funds. In fact, 1998 was the first year in
recent memory where the economic fundamentals seemed to mean so little to the
bond market.

Over the short term, we do not think that Fed monetary policy will be influenced
by conditions in the financial markets. We think that any future Fed decisions
on rates will be driven by the state of the U.S. economy. Unless there are any
signs of inflationary pressures, we do not anticipate any Fed tightening in the
coming months. However, if the U.S. economy begins to re-accelerate and labor
markets continue to tighten, the Fed may raise rates in the second half of 1999.

As we have noted, the fundamentals -- low inflation and a benign Fed monetary
policy are favorable for the bond markets. We think these positive conditions
should be with us in the coming months. As you get closer to a presidential
election year, the economy may pick-up. At that point we may take a more
conservative stance in the Fund than we currently follow. We believe that the
economy should be our guide, because it will be the key factor affecting future
Fed monetary policy.

We think that the pattern established in 1998 between municipal bonds and
taxable bonds should hold true for the rest of 1999. In rallies, municipal bonds
generally underperform versus U.S. government bonds and corporate bonds. That
happened in July, August, September and October of last year. However, with
long-term municipal bonds yielding roughly 94% of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds,
we think that municipal bonds are very attractive on a relative basis. If rates
do rise, the volume of new issues and refunding deals in the municipal bond
market will decrease, causing more favorable supply and demand conditions,
providing support for municipal bond prices thus outperforming long-term U.S.
Treasuries.

In closing, thank you for your investment in Smith Barney California Municipals
Fund. We encourage you to visit our Web site at www.smithbarney.com. We look
forward to continuing to help you pursue your financial goals.

Sincerely,

/s/ Heath B. McLendon               /s/ Joseph P. Deane

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

(2)   Assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, if
      any, at net asset value. In addition, Class A and L shares reflect the
      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.

*     Inception dates for Class A, B, L and Y shares are April 9, 1984, November
      6, 1992, November 14, 1994 and September 22, 1998 respectively.

+     Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares on
      February 28, 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 February 28, 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 108 mutual funds investing in California municipal bonds as of February
      28, 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

SSBC Fund Management Inc. ("SSBC"), formerly known as Mutual Management Corp., 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.

On October 8, 1998, CFBDS, Inc., became the Fund's distributor. Prior to that
date Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, was the
Fund's distributor. SSB, as well certain other broker-dealers, continues to sell
Fund shares to the public as members of the selling group.

On June 12, 1998, the Fund's Class C shares were renamed Class L shares.
Effective June 15, 1998, Class

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

L shares are being sold at net asset value plus a maximum initial sales charge
of 1.00%. Class L shares also have a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge
("CDSC"), which applies if redemption occurs within the first year of purchase.

There is also a 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. 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 year ended February 28, 1999, SSB received sales charges of
approximately $1,818,000 and $99,000 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                        $45,000              $212,000                $8,000
================================================================================

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 year ended February 28, 1999, total Distribution Plan fees incurred
were:

                            Class A               Class B                Class L
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees    $1,077,263            $1,519,558              $274,706
================================================================================

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

4. Investments

During the year ended February 28, 1999, the aggregate cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

================================================================================
Purchases                                                           $284,660,500

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

At February 28, 1999, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation
of investments for Federal income tax purposes were as follows:

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                       $80,298,447
Gross unrealized depreciation                                          (641,856)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation                                         $79,656,591
================================================================================

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 February 28, 1999, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

6. Capital Shares

At February 28, 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. Effective June 12, 1998,
the Fund adopted the renaming of existing Class C shares as Class L shares.

At February 28, 1999, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each
class:

                              Class A       Class B       Class L      Class Y

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.

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

The Shareholders and Board of Directors of 
Smith Barney California Municipals Fund Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of Smith Barney California Municipals Fund Inc. as
of February 28, 1999, the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the
two-year period then ended and financial highlights for each of the years in the
four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits. The financial highlights for the year ended February 28, 1995
were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated April 10, 1995,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
February 28, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian. As to securities sold
but not yet delivered, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smith
Barney California Municipals Fund Inc. as of February 28, 1999, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each
of the years in the two-year period then ended and financial highlights for each
of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
