OUR MESSAGE TO YOU

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

The first half of 1997 was characterized by an impressive 21% rise in the S&P
500 and the near-perfect combination of strong economic growth and benign
inflation readings. The Salomon Brothers Investment Series benefited from the
strong stock and bond market performance -- both domestically and overseas.

We are pleased to provide a performance review and market commentary for each of
its funds for the first six months of the year. For specific information on
individual funds please see the following pages.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET TRENDS

Economic conditions were extremely supportive of the financial markets in the
first six months of 1997. The combination of moderate growth, low inflation and
unemployment propelled stocks to new highs. Meanwhile, fixed-income securities
gained a respite from the fear of higher interest rates. The Federal Reserve's
decision to hold rates steady since its 25-basis-point hike in March comforted
the markets. Upward pressures on wages appeared to stall this spring; global
commodity prices traded sideways; and the U.S. budget deficit continued to
dwindle. Against this backdrop of quiescent inflation, financial assets thrived.

Following spectacular gains of 37.5% and 23.0%, in 1995 and 1996, respectively,
the S&P 500 continued its climb with a surge of over 20% for the first half of
the year. The Salomon Brothers Broad Investment Grade ("BIG") Bond Index
returned approximately 3%, and the Salomon Brothers High-Yield Market Index
returned just under 6%.

OUTLOOK

Although we see no immediate threat to this idyllic environment, we are taking a
somewhat cautious view on both equities and bonds. The U.S. economy, in our
view, is pausing -- not showing underlying weakness. Indeed, the cost of capital
and the enormous buildup in household wealth -- conditions that promoted rapid
growth in 1996 -- are still present. We believe that renewed economic strength
in the second half of this year could cause the Fed to raise interest rates,
because monetary conditions are not tight enough to hold the consumer -- and
potential price pressures -- in check.

On an historical basis, stocks are extremely expensive. As of June 30, the S&P
500 was trading at nearly 21 times estimated trailing earnings and at more than
18 times 12 months forward earnings. Given these high valuations and our view
that the economic setting is likely to become less favorable later this year, we
believe that fear of higher interest rates will dominate near-term earnings
gains and that concern about the profit outlook for 1998 will increase. In this
setting, prudent diversification and professional management are key elements in
a long-term investment program.

We appreciate your investment with the Salomon Brothers Investment Series, and
we look forward to serving you in the future.

Sincerely,

/s/ Michael S. Hyland

THE SALOMON BROTHERS
ASIA GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

Long-term capital appreciation.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Fund invests at least 65% of total assets in the equity and equity-related
securities of companies located in developing nations of the Pacific Rim
(ex-Japan). Areas considered for investment include, but are not limited to,
China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and
Thailand. In seeking to capture high long-term returns with volatility in line
with or lower than that experienced in the Asian markets, the Fund will allocate
assets among countries and industries believed most likely to benefit from
regional economic trends.

PERFORMANCE

The Asia Growth Fund (Class A Shares) enjoyed an outstanding six months in 1997
with an 18.44% returni. This compares quite favorably with the 3.66% return
posted by the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country Asia Free X-Japan
("MSCI AC Asia Free X-Japan) Index and 5.23% return for the average Lipper Asia
Growth (ex-Japan) Fund.

Asia Pacific Limited (SBAM AP), has 10 years of investment industry experience.

Fund management.

MARKET REVIEW

Asian ex-Japan markets' performance remained mixed with investors continuing to
underperform South Asian markets multiples on the back of structural issues.
However, North Asian ex-Japan markets were able to post strong performance as
they benefited from the cyclical recovery taking place in North Asian economies,
especially China. On the contrary, South Asian markets' performance was dismal
as these markets were affected by increasing currency volatility on the back
of sharply deteriorating fundamentals. The demise of the currency peg in
Thailand, coupled with the quasi-devaluations of the Indonesian Rupiah,
Philippine Peso and Malaysian Ringitt continued to plague the performance of
these markets. Asia's largest emerging market economies, China and India, were
able to benefit from a more liquid environment and falling interest rates which
drove equity prices higher in these countries. Global cyclicals, such as
electronics, did particularly well on a pan-regional basis, especially in Taiwan
and Singapore.

FUND HIGHLIGHTS

The outperformance of the Asia Growth Fund over the benchmark was primarily a
result of overweighting North Asian markets, such as Hong Kong/China and Taiwan,
and increasing exposure to Indian equities while de-emphasizing South Asian
markets, such as Thailand or Malaysia, which continued to be plagued by currency
volatility, slower export growth, deteriorating external balances and a high
interest rate environment. As expected, the return of Hong Kong to China was
seen as a positive factor for the Hong Kong economy and market. Hong Kong and
Taiwan equities also benefited from China's cyclical recovery and, in the case
of Hong Kong, attractive valuations and currency stability. Indian equities
benefited from a declining interest rate environ-

ment and better liquidity. The Fund also benefited from an overweight posture to
selective Asian electronic shares, especially in Taiwan, Korea and Singapore,
which significantly outperformed their respective market indices. The Fund kept
a significant exposure to China-sensitive shares listed in Hong Kong, such as
China Resources, Shanghai Industrial, as well as major Hong Kong conglomerates,
such as Hutchison Whampoa and Swire Pacific, which benefited from stronger China
growth.

India proved to be a very strong performer on the back of economic reforms
announced in February which are leading the way for stronger economic growth and
further deregulation of India's major industries. The Fund benefited from
selective investments in Global Depository Receipts ("GDRs") of major Indian
companies like State Bank of India, Reliance and ICICI which outperformed local
indices significantly.

OUTLOOK

The case for Asia investing remains increasingly driven by the opening and
deregulation of Asia's major consumer economies, such as China, India and
Indonesia, which have a significant and growing consumer market. The advent of
the consumer in these countries is expected to have a significant impact on
future Asian growth leading us to remain extremely bullish on Asia investing.
Although we expect currency volatility to remain in force in certain Asian
countries in the short term, we believe that South Asian economies have started
to address key structural problems that affected their economies. We are
starting to see value emerging in certain Asian markets, such as the Philippines
or Thailand, as a result of the sharp fall of equity prices in these markets.
The return of Hong Kong to China makes China investing more attractive than
before and we expect to increase our exposure to B shares of Chinese companies
listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.

THE SALOMON BROTHERS
CAPITAL FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

Capital appreciation through investments primarily in common stocks or
securities convertible into common stock.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Capital Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through investments
in securities which are believed to have above-average price appreciation
potential. Such investments may also involve above-average risk. The Fund may
invest in seasoned, established companies, relatively small new companies as
well as new issues. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its assets in any
particular industry.

PERFORMANCE

During the first half of 1997 the Capital Fund (Class A Shares) posted a total
return of 14.27%.(ii) This compares favorably with the Lipper Capital
Appreciation funds, average of 10.16%. The Fund lagged the S&P 500, however,
which posted a return of 20.61%. This difference in performance was due, in
part, to the Fund's lack of ownership of a handful of mega-capitalization stocks
that are heavily weighted in the S&P 500 Index. We believe these stocks do not
offer an attractive risk/reward trade-off due to their high valuations.

FUND HIGHLIGHTS

The Fund's portfolio increased its holdings in small- and mid-capitalization
stocks during the first half of 1997. We believe that many of these stocks offer
the best risk/reward trade-offs in the market, primarily due to their relative
and absolute valuations. Our focus continues to be on finding investments that
offer attractive return potential relative to their risk.

OUTLOOK

The continued strength and duration of the bull market in U.S. stocks are a
function of the ideal economic environment existing in the United States.
Growth remains moderately strong and inflation is low. At the same time, equity
valuation levels have reached very high levels based on most traditional
measures. In our view there is nothing apparent on the horizon that may
change either of these conditions. We are in an economic environment that
has created high returns for equities. Meanwhile, the stock market's rising
valuations have created a less stable situation. The market continues to move
upward because investors have been willing to take risk in order to achieve
expected returns. In this environment, our strategy will continue to be to
search for the most attractive risk/reward trade-offs, in whichever part of the
market we can find.

The Salomon Brothers
Investors Fund

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

Long-term growth of capital. Current income is a secondary objective.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Investors Fund invests primarily in common stocks listed on the New York
Stock Exchange and other U.S. exchanges. The portfolio manager generally favors
large capitalization stocks representing well-known companies with good growth
potential at a reasonable price.

PERFORMANCE

During the first six months of 1997, the Investors Fund (Class A Shares) posted
a total return of 14.90%(iii). This compares with 20.60% for the S&P 500 and
15.52% for the average Lipper Growth & Income Fund.

MARKET OVERVIEW AND
PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

During the first six months of 1997, the U.S. stock market con tinued to benefit
from the near perfect combination of low inflation, moderate economic growth and
favorable liquidity. The Fund's return, while attractive in an absolute sense,
underperformed the S&P 500's return of 20.60%. Significant contributors to the
Fund's performance included Tyco International, Bank of New York and Travelers.
The Fundis well diversified, with overweighted sectors including basic
industries, healthcare and energy. The fund has underweighted positions in
technology and utilities.

OUTLOOK

We are cautious, although still positive, in our outlook for the market. The
market has more than doubled in the past 30 months, and volatility has been
unusually low. But we believe that the market's high valuation level is
sustainable as long as inflation remains moderate and the economy remains
healthy. The primary risks that we see to the market would be an increase in
inflation, particularly in wages, or a surge in economic growth. We are
currently finding opportunities in companies that exhibit consistent earnings
and reasonable valuations. We believe that companies which can continue to
improve their earnings late in the economic cycle will outperform in the months
ahead.

THE SALOMON BROTHERS
TOTAL RETURN FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund seeks to obtain above-average income compared to a portfolio that
invests only in stocks. The Fund's secondary objective is to seek growth of
capital and income. The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing in a
variety of asset classes including equities, fixed income securities and
short-term obligations.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Fund seeks to increase income and provide for long-term growth. The Fund
invests primarily in large capitalization stocks that are earning dividends
greater than the S&P 500 average. Fixed income assets tend to be allocated among
investment grade securities. The Fund also allocates among securities believed
capable of achieving equity-like returns, such as high yield bonds and
convertible securities.

PERFORMANCE

The Total Return Fund (Class A Shares) posted a 9.63% return for the first six
months. (iv) This compares with a 11.62% return for a composite index of 50%
Salomon Brothers Broad Investment Grade Index and 50% S&P 500, and 10.21% for
the Lipper Balanced Average. The dividend on the Fund (Class A Shares) is 4.2
cents per share, per month, and the Fund carried an SEC yield of 4.20% as of
June 30, 1997. This dividend yield is quite substantial in relation to the 1.7%
in an all stock portfolio of the S&P 500.

MARKET REVIEW AND HIGHLIGHTS

In the equity portion of the Fund, we have continued to emphasize the energy
sector, which performed well during the period due to continued global demand.
Specifically, Dresser Industries, Suncor and Petrolite fared well. In addition,
Canadian National Railway, the Fund's largest holding, continues to show strong
earnings patterns and we believe it will continue to offer attractive returns.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"), one of the Fund's overweight positions,
posted a sub-par performance in the first half. We look for a pickup in this
section over the balance of the year, since the higher-yielding investments are
at attractive levels after six months of underperforming.

In the fixed income portion of the Fund, we have realigned the Fund's holdings
in favor of investment-grade bonds, particularly in spread products such as
mortgages and corporate bonds. We have pared back the holdings of high yield
bonds, reflecting the pronounced narrowing of interest rate differentials to
higher grade securities.

OUTLOOK

With the huge run in the stock market, a return to more normal ized gains in the
future seems likely -- especially if signs of inflation emerge or if interest
rates begin to rise. Within the stock market, a large disparity in valuations
has arisen between the performance of the so called "favorite 50" stocks and
much of the rest of the stock market. We have decreased our holdings of these
stocks and have stressed high-growth names such as Stone & Webster, Inc., Suncor
and Canadian National Railway.

THE SALOMON BROTHERS
HIGH YIELD BOND FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

To maximize current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of
high yield, fixed income securities rated in medium or lower categories. As a
secondary objective, the Fund seeks capital appreciation.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to invest at least 65% of its
assets in securities rated Baa or lower by Moody's, or those rated BBB or lower
by Standard & Poor's. A key component of the overall strategy is to determine
the optimal asset allocation between domestic high yield bonds and foreign
dollar denominated fixed income securities such as Brady Bonds and lower-rated
sovereign debt.

PERFORMANCE

The first six months of 1997 were particularly strong for the Salomon Brothers
High Yield Bond Fund (Class A Shares) which posted an attractive 7.43% return.
(v) This compares quite favorably to the 5.96% return for the High Yield Market,
as measured by the Salomon Brothers High-Yield Market Index and a 5.92% return
for the Lipper High Current Yield Bond Average.

Peter J. Wilby, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Salomon Brothers
Asset Management Inc, has 13 years of investment industry experience in the high
yield and emerging debt markets. Mr. Wilby is primarily responsible for
day-to-day Fund management.

MARKET REVIEW AND HIGHLIGHTS

The U.S. corporate high-yield market continued to post strong performance,
buoyed by both fundamental economic strength and healthy technical factors. The
combination of solid economic growth and low inflation in the United States
served to improve credit quality among a broad spectrum of issuers, and new
issuances remained on track to surpass record levels this year. Spurts in
economically cyclical industries such as retailers and housing related companies
has supplemented stable growth in non cyclical industries to broadly drive
credit quality improvements. Credit losses in the market remain well below
historical norms and business valuations remain buoyed by the healthy U.S.
equity market. Meanwhile, a continued healthy pace of mutual fund cash inflows
created a strong demand for new issues. Despite some widening of yield spreads
to Treasuries in March and April, spreads contracted in May and June to finish
the period somewhat higher than the year began.

The High Yield Bond Fund continues to complement its portfolio by including
exposure to emerging market debt. This allocation, which is carefully monitored
and re-evaluated as market conditions change, is a contributing factor behind
the strong relative performance of the High Yield Bond Fund versus other
high-current-yield funds.

During the past six months, the emerging debt markets benefited from favorable
market conditions, attractive yields and positive economic and political
settings in many key countries. Swaps of newly issued global bonds for Brady
type securities have bolstered the performance of the Brady Bond Sector. In
addition, the upgrading by S&P of 12 Argentine corporates to investment grade,
based on a change of rating methodology, had a positive impact on the market.
The emerging debt market continues to benefit technically from the rapid growth
of new investors in the market.

THE SALOMON BROTHERS
STRATEGIC BOND FUND



INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

To seek a high level of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective
by investing in a globally diverse portfolio of fixed income instruments. As a
secondary objective, the Fund seeks capital appreciation.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Assets of the Fund may be deployed among various sectors of the global fixed
income market, depending on the portfolio managers' analysis of current economic
and market conditions and the relative risks and opportunities presented in
various market segments.

PERFORMANCE

The Salomon Brothers Strategic Bond Fund (Class A Shares) posted a 5.35%(vi)
return for the first six months in 1997. This compares quite favorably with the
3.10% return for the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index and the Lipper Multi-Sector
Income Average of 4.28%.

MARKET REVIEW

Our investment process -- which focuses on identifying and capturing relative
value between global fixed-income markets -- led us to allocate the Fund's
weightings throughout the first half of 1997 with approximately 40% of the
portfolio invested in high-yield securities, 17% invested in emerging market
debt and 25% to investment grade securities. This allocation generated strong
investment returns, as Lipper Analytical Services ranked the Fund near the top
compared with other multi-sector bond funds.

HIGH YIELD MARKET

The U.S. corporate high-yield market continued to benefit from strong
fundamental economic strength and healthy technical factors. Credit quality

improved, in reflection of the combination of solid economic growth and low
inflation in the United States. Although new issuance is at a record pace, the
sector has been supported by strong mutual fund cash inflows and demand by
collateralized bond obligations. Spurts in economically cyclical industries such
as retailers and housing related companies has supplemented stable growth in non
cyclical industries to broadly drive credit quality improvements. Credit losses
in the market remain well below historical norms and business valuations remain
buoyed by the healthy U.S. equity market.

EMERGING MARKETS DEBT

One of the greatest benefits of a global bond fund is the ability to rotate in
or out of fixed-income sectors to enhance performance or avoid risk as
opportunities arise. During the past six months, the emerging debt markets
benefited from favorable market conditions, attractive yields and positive
economic and political settings in many key countries. Swaps of newly issued
global bonds for Brady type securities have bolstered the performance of the
Brady Bond Sector. In addition, the upgrading by S&P of 12 Argentine corporates
to investment grade, based on a change of rating methodology, had a positive
impact on the market. The emerging debt market continues to benefit technically
from the rapid growth of new investors in the market.

INVESTMENT GRADE AND
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES

Over the past six months, fixed income securities continued to be supported by
the combination of low inflation and moderate growth. The Federal Reserve's
decision to raise interest rates was widely anticipated, and since then, the
market continued to be comforted by the fact that strong growth over the past
year did not translate into higher inflation readings. The Fed has remained on
hold since its March move, but is certainly keeping a watchful eye on the
consumer and other demand-side factors.

THE SALOMON BROTHERS
NATIONAL INTERMEDIATE
MUNICIPAL FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

To achieve a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income
taxes.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets will be
invested in municipal obligations, the interest on which is exempt from regular
federal income tax. All or a portion of the Fund's income may be subject to the
federal alternative minimum tax.

PERFORMANCE

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the National Intermediate Municipal Fund
(Class A Shares) achieved a total return of 2.72%.(vii) This compares favorably
with the 2.50% return achieved by the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Average
and the 2.70% return posted by Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond 1 to 10 Year
Index.


MARKET REVIEW

The municipal market performed well during the first half of 1997. Volatility
remained in check, except for a brief period in March, when the Federal Reserve
raised short-term interest rates by 25 basis points. In managing the Fund, we
continue to focus on taking advantage of long-term fundamentals rather than on
short-term market trends. Thus, we emphasize rigorous credit analysis and
careful sector selection.

During the first six months of this year, the municipal market continued to be
buoyed by favorable supply/demand conditions. Strong investor demand outweighed
a modest new issue calendar. Buying was widespread, with continued interest from
property/casualty companies, individuals and mutual funds. The Fed's decision to
hold short-term interest rates steady since the move in March also lent support
to the market. The Fund benefited from extending the average maturity slightly
in April and May.

OUTLOOK

We expect positive technical factors in the municipal bond market to persist --
at least through the summer, when the issuance of debt by state and local
governments is typically slow. Issuance for the year should approximate 1996
levels. Tax-exempt securities are likely to trade in a narrower range than
taxable bonds during this period, reflecting continued positive supply/demand
factors.

THE SALOMON BROTHERS
U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

To obtain a high level of current income.


INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Under normal conditions the Fund invests 100% of its net assets in debt
obligations and mortgage-backed securities issued by or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities. The Fund expects to maintain an
average portfolio duration of three to five years.


PERFORMANCE

The U.S. Government Income Fund (Class A Shares) posted a 2.76% return.(viii)
This compares favorably versus the Lipper Short-Intermediate U.S. Government
Bond Average return of 2.57% for the year. The Salomon Brothers 1-5 year
Treasury Bond index returned 2.80%.


FUND REVIEW

During the first half of 1997, the Fund continued to overweight mortgage-backed
securities relative to Treasuries. This strategy proved to be advantageous for
the Fund. An environment of low volatility over the past six months has enabled
mortgages to outperform Treasuries by more than 100 basis points. The Fund also
continued to add to its "barbell" yield curve position -- overweighting short
and longer term maturities at the expense of intermediate maturities. This
strategy also enhanced performance due to the flattening of the U.S. Treasury
yield curve.


MARKET HIGHLIGHTS AND OUTLOOK

Economic conditions over the past six months have been extremely favorable. The
combination of moderate growth and low inflation has supported the financial
markets.

The Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates in March was widely
anticipated, and since then, the market continued to be comforted by the fact
that strong growth over the past year did not translate into higher inflation.
The Fed has remained on hold since its March move, but is certainly keeping a
watchful eye on the consumer and other demand-side factors. Indeed, we believe
that the economy will reaccelerate in the third quarter and that eventually the
Fed will raise interest rates to keep growth in check.

With respect to duration -- which measures the sensitivity of the Fund's
holdings to changes in interest rates -- we are neutral to our benchmarks at
present. We would become more defensive if, as we expect, interest rates begin
to trend higher. Should the outlook for interest rates become more constructive,
however, we would realign our weightings of mortgages versus Treasuries, because
prices of Treasuries would appreciate more in that setting.

   `D' Lipper Analytical Services, an industry recognized analysis company,
       calculates rankings based on total return performance of funds within
       each category. Lipper rankings change monthly and do not reflect the
       effects of sales charges. Accordingly, the results in this table for the
       Class A, B, & C shares of each Fund do not reflect the effect of the
       sales charges applicable to each Class, which are described in the
       footnotes below. Lipper performance results represent changes in net
       asset value, adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital
       gains.

    *  Return does not reflect the deduction of sales charge.

   **  Class A shares reflect the deduction of the maximum 4.75% sales charge.
       Class B & C shares reflect the maximum contingent deferred sales charge
       of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class O shares have no initial or contingent
       deferred sales charge.

GENERAL PERFORMANCE AND RANKING NOTES

       Average annual total returns are based on changes in net asset value and
       assume the reinvestment of all dividends, and/or capital gains
       distributions in additional shares with and without the effect of the
       maximum sales charge (Class A) and the contingent deferred sales charge
       (Class B and C). Class A shares reflect the deduction of an annual 0.25%
       12b-1 fee. Class B & C shares are subject to an annual 12b-1 service and
       distribution fee of 1.00%. Class O shares are not subject to an annual
       12b-1 fee. Each fund offers Class O shares to existing Class O
       shareholders. The average annual return for a period less than one year
       has not been annualized. Past performance does not guarantee future
       results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate so that an
       investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
       original cost. Returns reflect a voluntary expense cap (except for
       Investors and Capital Fund) imposed by SBAM to limit total Fund operating
       expenses. Absent this expense cap, Fund returns would be lower. As a
       result, the expense caps had a material effect on the ranking of each
       Class of each Fund in its relevant Lipper category. In addition, the
       expense caps had a material effect on how each Class of each Fund
       performed relative to the relevant index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

The Salomon Brothers Investment Series (the "Investment Series") consists of
certain portfolios of the Salomon Brothers Series Funds Inc (the "Series
Funds"), as indicated below, the Salomon Brothers Investors Fund Inc (the
"Investors Fund") and the Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc (the "Capital
Fund"). The Series Funds were incorporated in Maryland on April 17, 1990 as an
open-end management investment company, and currently operate as a series
company comprised of nine portfolios: Salomon Brothers Cash Management Fund (the
"Cash Management Fund"), Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund
(the "New York Municipal Money Fund"), Salomon Brothers Institutional Money
Market Fund (the "Institutional Money Market Fund"), Salomon Brothers National
Intermediate Municipal Fund (the "National Intermediate Municipal Fund"),
Salomon Brothers U.S. Government Income Fund (the "U.S. Government Income
Fund"), Salomon Brothers High Yield Bond Fund (the "High Yield Bond Fund"),
Salomon Brothers Strategic Bond Fund (the "Strategic Bond Fund"), Salomon
Brothers Total Return Fund (the "Total Return Fund"), and Salomon Brothers Asia
Growth Fund (the "Asia Growth Fund"). Separate financial statements are prepared
for the Institutional Money Market Fund which is not part of the Investment
Series. All of the other portfolios of the Series Funds are included in the
Investment Series, which also includes the Investors Fund, a diversified
open-end management investment company incorporated in Maryland on April 2, 1958
and the Capital Fund, a non-diversified open-end management investment company
incorporated in Maryland on August 23, 1976. The Investment Series operates
under a multiple class pricing structure, with each portfolio of the Investment
Series (individually, a "Fund") offering Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class O
shares, each with its own expense structure. Each Fund has a specific investment
objective: the Cash Management Fund's objective is to seek as high a level of
current income as is consistent with liquidity and the stability of principal;
the New York Municipal Money Fund's objective is to seek as high a level of
current income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City personal
income taxes as is consistent with liquidity and the stability of principal; the
National Intermediate Municipal Fund's objective is to seek a high level of
current income which is exempt from regular federal income taxes; the U.S.
Government Income Fund's objective is to seek a high level of current income;
the High Yield Bond Fund's primary objective is to maximize current income; the
Strategic Bond Fund's primary objective is to seek a high level of current
income; the Total Return Fund's primary objective is to obtain above-average
income (compared to a portfolio entirely invested in equity securities); the
Asia Growth Fund's objective is to seek long-term growth of capital
appreciation; the Investors Fund's primary objective is to seek long-term growth
of capital; the Capital Fund's objective is to seek capital appreciation through
investments primarily in common stock, or securities convertible into common
stocks, which are believed to have above average price appreciation potential.

Certain costs incurred in connection with each Fund's organization, which were
payable to Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc ("SBAM") have been deferred and
are being amortized by the Funds over a 60 month period from the date each Fund
commenced investment operations. A summary of those expenditures that remain as
of June 30, 1997 for each Fund is as follows:

</TABLE>

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Investment Series in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies
are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management
to make estimates of certain reported amounts in the financial statements.
Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

         (a) Investment Valuation. Portfolio securities listed or traded on
     national securities exchanges, or reported on the NASDAQ national market
     system, are valued at the last sale price, or if there have been no sales
     on that day, at the mean of the current bid and asked price which
     represents the current value of the security. Over-the-counter securities
     are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked price. Debt securities
     are valued by using either market quotations or independent pricing
     services which use prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market
     values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with
     similar characteristics. Publicly traded sovereign bonds are typically
     traded internationally on the over-the-counter market and are valued at the
     mean of the last current bid and asked price as of the close of business of
     that market. Short-term securities with less than 60 days remaining to
     maturity when acquired by a Fund will be valued at amortized cost which
     approximates market value. If a Fund, other than the Cash Management Fund
     and New York Municipal Money Fund, acquires such securities with more than
     60 days remaining to maturity, they will be valued at current market value,
     until the 60th day prior to maturity, and will then be valued on an
     amortized cost basis.

         Portfolio securities for the Cash Management Fund and the New York
     Municipal Money Fund are valued using the amortized cost method, which
     involves initially valuing an investment at its cost and thereafter
     assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any premium or discount.
     This method results in a value approximating market value.

         Prior governmental approval for foreign investments may be required
     under certain circumstances in some emerging market countries, and the
     extent of foreign investment in domestic companies may be subject to
     limitation in other emerging market countries. Foreign ownership
     limitations also may be imposed by the charters of individual companies in
     emerging market countries to prevent, among other things, violation of
     foreign investment limitations. As a result, an additional class of shares
     (identified as "Foreign Shares" in the Portfolio of Investments) may be
     created and offered for investment by such companies. The "local" and
     "foreign" shares' market values may differ.

         Foreign securities quoted in a foreign currency are translated into
     U.S. dollars using exchange rates at 2:30 p.m. Eastern time (12:30 p.m. for
     the Asia Growth Fund), or at such other rates as SBAM may determine to be
     appropriate in computing net asset value.


                                                                              73

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


   Securities for which reliable quotations or prices from pricing services
are not readily available (as may be the case for securities of limited
marketability) and all other assets are valued at their respective fair value
as determined in good faith by, or under procedures established by,
the Board of Directors.

         (b) Futures Contracts. The National Intermediate Municipal Fund, High
     Yield Bond Fund, Strategic Bond Fund, Total Return Fund, Asia Growth Fund,
     Investors Fund and Capital Fund may enter into futures contracts, which
     involves paying or receiving variation margin, which will be recorded as
     unrealized gain or loss until the contract is closed. When the contract is
     closed, a realized gain or loss will be recognized. Outstanding contracts
     may involve elements of market risk in excess of amounts reported in the
     financial statements.

         (c) Option Contracts. When a Fund writes or purchases a call or a put
     option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is
     recorded as a liability or asset, the value of which is marked-to-market
     daily to reflect the current market value of the option. When the option
     expires, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the amount of the
     premium received or paid. When the Fund exercises an option or enters into
     a closing transaction by purchasing or selling an offsetting option, it
     realizes a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on
     the underlying security. When a written call option is exercised, the Fund
     realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the
     proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received.
     When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received
     reduces the cost of the security that the Fund purchased upon exercise of
     the option.

         (d) Mortgage Rolls. The U.S. Government Income Fund, Strategic Bond
     Fund and Total Return Fund may enter into mortgage "dollar rolls" in which
     a Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month
     and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same
     type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. The Fund
     is compensated by a fee paid by the counterparty. Dollar rolls are
     accounted for as financing arrangements; the fee is accrued into interest
     income ratably over the term of the dollar roll and any gain or loss on the
     roll is deferred until disposition of the rolled security. The average
     daily balance of dollar rolls outstanding during the six months ended June
     30, 1997 was approximately $1,253,000, $2,567,000 and $2,301,000 for the
     Total Return Fund, Strategic Bond Fund and U.S. Government Income Fund,
     respectively.

         (e) Repurchase Agreements. When entering into repurchase agreements, it
     is each Fund's policy that the Fund take possession, through its custodian,
     of the underlying collateral and monitor the collateral's value at the time
     the agreement is entered into and on a daily basis during the term of the
     repurchase agreement to ensure that it always equals or exceeds the
     repurchase price. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party
     to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be
     subject to legal proceedings.

         (f) Foreign Currency Translation. The accounting records of each Fund
     are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
     liabilities of the High Yield Bond Fund, Strategic Bond Fund, Total Return
     Fund, Asia Growth Fund, Investors Fund and Capital Fund denominated in a
     foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates
     of exchange each day. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts
     and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing
     exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Net realized
     gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and
     losses from sales and maturities of forward currency contracts, disposition
     of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade
     and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between
     the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount
     actually received. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
     on

<PAGE>


     investments in securities are not segregated in the Statements of
     Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those
     securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
     loss on investments.

         (g) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The High Yield Bond Fund,
     Strategic Bond Fund, Total Return Fund, Asia Growth Fund, Investors Fund
     and Capital Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. A
     forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to
     buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is
     marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as
     an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is
     extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another
     forward foreign currency contract, the Fund records a realized gain or loss
     equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it
     was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished or
     offset.

         (h) Loan Participations. The High Yield Bond Fund, Strategic Bond Fund
     and Total Return Fund may invest in fixed and floating rate loans arranged
     through private negotiations between a foreign sovereign entity and one or
     more financial institutions ("lender"). The market values of the High Yield
     Bond Fund and the Strategic Bond Fund's loan participations at June 30,
     1997 were $16,373,594 and $456,250, respectively.

         (i) Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund intends to comply with the
     requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
     investment companies and to distribute all of its income, including any net
     realized gains, to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax or excise
     tax provision is required.

         The Asia Growth Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in
     which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital
     gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net
     investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation as
     such income and/or gains are earned.

         (j) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net
     investment income on the shares of each of the Funds (except the Asia
     Growth Fund, Investors Fund, and Capital Fund) are declared each business
     day to shareholders of record that day, and are paid on the last business
     day of the month. Dividends from net investment income for the Asia Growth
     Fund and the Capital Fund will be declared on an annual basis. Dividends
     from net investment income for the Investors Fund are declared on a
     quarterly basis. Distributions of net realized gains to shareholders of
     each Fund, if any, are declared at least annually. Dividends and
     distributions to shareholders of each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend
     date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may
     differ from generally accepted accounting principles due primarily to
     differences in the treatment of foreign currency gains/losses, deferral of
     wash sales, and post-October losses incurred by each Fund. Permanent
     book/tax differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
     their federal income tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not
     require reclassifications. Dividends and distributions which exceed net
     investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes
     but not for tax purposes are reported as distributions in excess of net
     investment income and distributions in excess of net realized capital
     gains.

         (k) Class Accounting. Investment income, common expenses and gain
     (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of a Fund on the
     basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution and shareholder
     servicing fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that
     class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share
     dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.


                                                                              75

         (l) Expenses. Direct expenses are charged to the Fund that incurred
     them, and general expenses of the Investment Series are allocated to the
     Funds based on each Fund's relative net assets.

         (m) Other. Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date.
     Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date (except for the Asia
     Growth Fund, where certain dividends may be recorded as soon as the fund is
     informed of such dividend). Interest income, including the accretion of
     discounts or amortization of premiums, is recognized when earned. Gains or
     losses on sales of securities are calculated for financial accounting and
     Federal income tax purposes on the identified cost basis. Net investment
     income (other than distribution fees) and unrealized and realized gains or
     losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative
     proportion of each class's net assets to the Fund's total net assets.

2. Management Fee and Other Agreements

Each Fund retains SBAM, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Salomon Inc, to
act as investment manager of each Fund, subject to the supervision by the Board
of Directors of each Fund. SBAM furnishes the Investment Series with office
space and certain services and facilities required for conducting the business
of the Investment Series and pays the compensation of its officers. The
management fee for these services for each Fund (except the Investors Fund and
Capital Fund) is payable monthly and is based on the following annual
percentages of each Fund's average daily net assets: .20% for the Cash
Management Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund, .50% for the National
Intermediate Municipal Fund, .60% for the U.S. Government Income Fund, .75% for
the High Yield Bond Fund and Strategic Bond Fund, .55% for the Total Return Fund
and .80% for the Asia Growth Fund. The management fee for the Capital Fund is
payable monthly and is based on the following annual percentages of the Fund's
average daily net assets: first $100 million--1%; next $100 million--.75% ; next
$200 million--.625%; excess over $400 million--.50%. SBAM Limited, an affiliate
of SBAM, provides certain advisory services to SBAM for the benefit of the
Strategic Bond Fund, as well as, certain administrative services for the Asia
Growth Fund. SBAM Limited is compensated by SBAM at no additional expense to the
Strategic Bond and Asia Growth Fund. SBAM has retained SBAM AP, an affiliate of
SBAM, to act as sub-advisor to the Asia Growth Fund. SBAM AP is compensated by
SBAM at no additional expense to the Asia Growth Fund.

The Investors Fund pays SBAM a base fee subject to an increase or decrease
depending on the extent, if any, to which the investment performance of the
Investors Fund exceeds or is exceeded by the investment record of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index of Composite Stocks ("S&P 500 Index"). For the period January
1, 1997 through April 28, 1997 the base fee was paid quarterly based on the
following annual percentages of the Fund's average daily net assets: first $350
million--.50%; next $150 million--.40%; next $250 million--.375%; next $250
million--.35%; excess over $1 billion--.30%. At its Annual Meeting on April 29,
1997, the Fund's shareholders approved an amendment to the Fund's Management
Agreement between the Fund and SBAM to increase the base fee component of the
management fee. Accordingly, as of April 29, 1997, the base fee is paid
quarterly based on the following annual rates:

Average Daily Net Assets                                        Annual Fee Rate
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First $350 million.................................................   .650%
Next $150 million..................................................   .550%
Next $250 million..................................................   .525%
Next $250 million..................................................   .500%
Over $1 billion....................................................   .450%

The performance adjustment is paid quarterly based on a rolling one year period.
A performance adjustment will only be made after the investment performance of
the Investors Fund exceeds or is exceeded by the investment record of the S&P
500 Index by at least one percentage point. For each percentage point by which
the investment performance of the Investors Fund exceeds or is exceeded by the
investment record of the S&P 500 Index, the base fee will be adjusted upward or
downward by .01% (annualized). The maximum annual adjustment is .10% which would
occur if the Investors Fund's performance exceeds or is exceeded by the S&P 500
Index by ten or more percentage points. For the rolling one-year period ended
March 31, 1997, there was no performance adjustment. For the rolling one-year
period ended June 30, 1997, the investment record of the S&P 500 Index exceeded
the Investors Fund's performance by approximately three percent. As a result,
base management fees were decreased by $35,131 for the six months ended June 30,
1997.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, SBAM waived management fees of $36,538,
$185,942, $32,382, $73,950, $37,688, $29,954, and $11,269 for the Asia Growth
Fund, Total Return Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Strategic Bond Fund, U.S.
Government Income Fund, National Intermediate Municipal Fund, and Cash
Management Fund, respectively, and voluntarily absorbed expenses of $116,945,
$41,088, and $43,580 for the Asia Growth Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, and
National Intermediate Municipal Fund, respectively.


Investors Bank & Trust Company serves as custodian and administrator for each
Fund, which includes performing certain administrative services in connection
with the operation of each Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 1997,
credits earned on outstanding cash balances were used to reduce custodian fees.

Each Fund has an agreement with Salomon Brothers Inc ("Salomon Brothers"), an
affiliate of the Investment Adviser, to distribute its shares pursuant to a
multiple pricing system. Each class (except for Class O) of each Fund (except
for the Cash Management Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund) is authorized
pursuant to a services and distribution plan applicable to that class of shares
(the "Class A Plan," the "Class B Plan," and the "Class C Plan," collectively,
the "Plans") adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), to pay Salomon Brothers an annual service fee
with respect to Class A, Class B, and Class C shares of the applicable Funds at
the rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of the respective
class. Salomon Brothers is also paid an annual distribution fee with respect to
Class B and Class C shares of each Fund (except for the Cash Management Fund and
New York Municipal Money Fund) at the rate of .75% of the value of the average
daily net assets of the respective class. Class O shares are not subject to a
services and distribution plan fee.

Brokerage commissions of $300, $31,518 and $22,200 were paid by the Total Return
Fund, Investors Fund and Capital Fund, respectively, to Salomon Brothers, the
Funds' distributor and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Salomon Inc, for
transactions executed on behalf of the Funds for the six months ended June 30,
1997.

Salomon Brothers received $8,389 as its portion of the front-end sales charge on
sales of Class A shares of the Funds during the period ended June 30, 1997. In
addition, contingent deferred sales charges of $321,787 were paid to Salomon
Brothers in connection with redemptions of certain Class B and Class C shares of
the Funds during the six months ended June 30, 1997.

3. Capital Stock

At June 30, 1997, the Series Funds had 10,000,000,000 shares of authorized
capital stock, par value $.001 per share, of which the Cash Management Fund, New
York Municipal Money Fund, National Intermediate Municipal Fund, U.S. Government
Income Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, and Strategic Bond Fund, each had
1,000,000,000 shares authorized. The Total Return Fund and Asia Growth Fund had
999,999,992 and 1,000,000,008 shares authorized, respectively. The Investors
Fund had 50,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock, par value $1.00 per
share. The Capital Fund had 25,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock, par
value $.001 per share. Transactions in Fund shares for the periods indicated

                                                                              77

5. Portfolio Investment Risks

Credit and Market Risk. Funds that invest in high yield and emerging market
instruments are subject to certain credit and market risks. The yields of high
yield and emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things,
perceived credit risk. The Funds' investment in securities rated below
investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated
securities including, among others, greater risk of timely and ultimate payment
of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid
secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic or
diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of
investments held by the Funds. The Funds' investment in non-dollar denominated
securities may also result in foreign currency losses caused by devaluations and
exchange rate fluctuations.

The Cash Management Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund invest in money
market instruments maturing in thirteen months or less whose short-term credit
ratings are within the highest ratings categories of two nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") or if rated by only one NRSRO, that
NRSRO, or, if not rated, are believed by the investment manager to be of
comparable quality. The New York Municipal Money Fund pursues its investment
objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets in obligations that are
exempt from federal income taxes and at least 65% of its net assets in
obligations that are exempt from personal income taxes of the State and City of
New York. Because the New York Municipal Money Fund invests primarily in
obligations of the State and City of New York, it is more susceptible to factors
adversely affecting issuers of such obligations than a fund that is more
diversified.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk. Certain Funds enter into
forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") to facilitate
settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions or to manage
foreign currency exposure associated with foreign currency denominated
securities. Forward contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the
amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds bear
the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the
forward contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from
the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated
transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower
levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets
and the possibility of political or economic instability.

Funds that enter into mortgage dollar rolls are subject to the risk that the
market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase under the
agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of
securities under a mortgage dollar roll files for bankruptcy or becomes
insolvent, the Fund's use of proceeds of the dollar roll may be restricted
pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether
to enforce the Fund's obligation to repurchase the securities.

Consistent with their objective to seek high current income, the High Yield Bond
Fund and the Strategic Bond Fund may invest in instruments whose values and
interest rates may be linked to foreign currencies, interest rates, indices or
some other financial indicator. The value at maturity or interest rates for
these instruments will increase or decrease according to the change in the
indicator to which it is indexed. These securities are generally more volatile
in nature and the risk of loss of principal is greater.


                                                                              81

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded)

A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund may forego the opportunity of
profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option
is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss
if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is
exercised. In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter
into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

In connection with purchasing participations, the Fund generally will have no
right to enforce compliance by the borrower, and the Fund may not benefit
directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the
participation. As a result, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the
borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In the event of the
insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Fund may be treated as a
general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the
lender and the borrower.

'SS' Per share information calculated using the average shares outstanding
     method, which more accurately represents amounts.
*    Total return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the first day of
     each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends at the net asset value
     on the ex-dividend date, and a sale at net asset value on the last day of
     each period reported. Initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales
     charge is not reflected in the calculation of total return. Total return
     calculated for a period of less than one year is not annualized.
**   Annualized.

     31, 1995.
'SS' Per share information calculated using the average shares outstanding
     method, which more accurately represents amounts.
*    Total return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the first day of
     each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends at the net asset value
     on the payable date, and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each
     period reported. Initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge
     is not reflected in the calculation of total return. Total return
     calculated for a period of less than one year is not annualized.
**   Annualized.

(a)  February 22, 1995, commencement of investment operations, through December
     31, 1995.
'SS' Per share information calculated using the average shares outstanding
     method, which more accurately represents amounts.
*    Total return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the first day of
     each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends at the net asset value
     on the payable date, and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each
     period reported. Initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge
     is not reflected in the calculation of total return. Total return
     calculated for a period of less than one year is not annualized.
**   Annualized.
