FUND HIGHLIGHT
================================================================================

Please note that the Fund's future target asset allocation has changed. The
Fund's new allocation will be 20% foreign government securities, 50% U.S.
government securities and 30% high-yield corporate bonds. The reasons for these
recent changes to the Fund's portfolio are threefold:

1)   Higher yields that can be obtained domestically;

2)   Current economic dislocations in Southeast Asia as well as the absence of
     meaningful reform; and

3)   Potential overflow of the crisis in Asia to other foreign economies.

Investment Officer                      


Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the annual report for Smith Barney Diversified
Strategic Income Fund ("Fund") for the period ended July 31, 1998. In this
report, we summarize the period's prevailing economic and market conditions and
briefly outline our portfolio strategy. A detailed summary 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.

The Fund seeks to provide investors with a high current income while attempting
to minimize the risk of interest rate and currency fluctuations. The Fund's
managers follow a flexible investment approach that emphasizes both
diversification and balance. Based on their analysis of current economic and
market conditions, the Fund's management team allocates assets across three
classes of bonds: U.S. government and mortgage securities, high-yield corporate
bonds, and foreign government bonds.

A Classic Series Fund

The Diversified Strategic Income Fund is part of the Classic Series of Smith
Barney Mutual Funds. The Classic Series funds are mutual funds whose investment
decisions are determined by experienced portfolio managers based on each fund's
investment objectives and guidelines. Funds in the Smith Barney Classic Series
invest across asset classes and sectors, utilizing a range of strategies in
order to achieve their objectives.

Performance Update

For the year ended July 31, 1998, the Fund's Class A, B and L shares had total
returns of 7.47%, 6.93% and 7.08% without sales charge, respectively, and
underperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index return of 7.87% for the
same period. (The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is made up of U.S.
Treasury Bonds, government agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities and
corporate bonds.)

We are pleased to report that your Fund received an overall four-star rating
from Morningstar Inc.*, a mutual fund research firm as of June 30, 1998.

As you know, the success of the Fund has been based on the portfolio managers'
ability to manage the

- ----------
*    Morningstar Inc. proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted
     performance through 6/30/98. The ratings are subject to change every month.
     Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Morningstar ratings
     are calculated from the Fund's 3- and 5-year returns (with fee adjustments)
     in excess of 90-day T-bill returns. The Fund's Class A and B shares
     received a 4-star rating for the 3- and 5-year periods and overall in a
     field of 1,468 and 890 funds, respectively. The Fund's Class L shares
     received a 4-star rating for both overall and for the 3-year period among
     1,468 funds. The top ten percent of funds in any one category receive 5
     stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the middle 35% receive 3 stars, the
     next 22.5% receive two stars and the bottom 10% receive a single star.
     Funds with less than 36 months of return data are not rated.

Fund's asset allocation in light of rapidly changing global events. Our goal is
to provide you with a dividend level consistent with maintaining a relatively
stable net asset value ("NAV").

Reflecting the earnings potential of today's lower interest rate environment,
the Fund's dividend rate has been slightly reduced. Since the beginning of the
year, long-term interest rates have fallen approximately a half of a percent. It
is the belief of the Fund's investment management team that any effort to
maintain the existing dividend level would result in increased NAV volatility.
In a recent letter that was sent to you, we informed you that the Fund's new
monthly dividend rate on Class A shares will now be $0.047, down from $0.05
effective with the September distribution. The dividend rate change for the
Fund's other classes of shares are detailed below:

Class L Shares                      0.047                  0.044
</TABLE>

Please note that the Fund's future target asset allocation has changed as well.
The Fund's new allocation will be 20% foreign government securities, 50% U.S.
government securities and 30% high-yield corporate bonds. The reasons for these
recent changes to the Fund's portfolio are threefold:

1)   Higher yields that can be obtained domestically;

2)   Current economic dislocations in Southeast Asia as well as the absence of
     meaningful reform; and

3)   The potential overflow of the crisis in Asia to other foreign economies.

As of July 31, 1998, the Fund's allocation was roughly 26.0% in foreign
government bonds, 29.2% in corporate securities, 42.1% in U.S. government and
mortgage-backed securities and 2.7% in cash equivalents. Following are brief
summaries of the economic and market conditions that affected the Fund's three
major sectors during the past fiscal year.

U.S. Government and Mortgage-Backed Securities

Two distinct themes dominated bond markets in the past year: ongoing economic
turmoil in Asia and steady U.S. economic growth with low inflation. Both of
these developments have proved to be quite favorable for bonds.

As can be seen from the chart below, interest rates have continued to decline
during the reporting period:

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

Of special concern has been the floundering Japanese economy because of its
status as the economic linchpin for Asia and a key U.S. trading partner. The
inability of the Japanese government to provide effective solutions to its
prolonged recession culminated in a political crisis in July. As a result, Prime
Minister Hashimoto was forced to resign. Since then, news from Japan continues
to worsen. Incoming Prime Minister Obuchi quickly announced reforms to salvage
Japan's ailing banking system but has yet to capture the confidence of
investors.

One result of the Asian crisis has been a flight of capital to U.S. financial
markets as many investors sought out a "safe haven" from the tumult 


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

surrounding many global markets. We believe that foreign investors, whose
holdings of U.S. Treasury securities have nearly doubled in the last three
years, have been attracted to Treasurys because of a strong U.S. dollar as well
as the competitive yields that they currently offer.

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

For its part, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") has chosen to remain on the
sidelines. At each of its meetings in March 1998, May 1998 and July 1998, the
Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC"), the Fed's policy-making panel, elected
to leave short-term interest rates unchanged. However, the FOMC did indicate a
bias toward tightening monetary policy on fears that persistent strength in the
U.S. economy would soon lead to a pickup in inflationary pressures.

Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan has cited a number of crosscurrents in the U.S.
economy that have led the FOMC to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. By many
traditional measures, U.S. economic growth has been quite robust. The U.S.
economy grew at an annualized rate of 5.4% in the first quarter of 1998 compared
to the 3.7% annual rate for 1997 and unemployment dropped to a mere 4.3% in
April 1998, the lowest level in decades. In recent months, there have been
increasing signs of upward wage pressures, especially in the service industries.
In addition, the housing market, a leading indicator of economic growth, was
particularly strong. This vigorous growth has led to increased concern that
demand might soon outpace capacity and lead to price increases.

However, we share the view of some FOMC members who have suggested that
continued weakness in most Asian economies should help to dampen inflationary
pressures in the U.S. economy. Clearly, the Asian crisis has had an adverse
effect on a number of U.S. industries. Moreover, in recent months, conditions in
Asian financial markets have deteriorated even further since the crisis began.
Falling commodity prices (especially oil) around the world have also offset
inflationary pressures. Many economists have projected U.S. economic growth to
be substantially lower in the second quarter of 1998, due in large part to
softening Asian demand.

High Yield Corporate Bonds

The high-yield bond market generated modest performance during the six months
ended July 31, 1998, with total returns in the 3.50% range compared with 2.50%
to 3.00% returns for intermediate U.S. Treasurys (i.e., less than ten years) and
investment-grade corporate bonds and 3.00% to 4.00% for long-term U.S. Treasurys
(i.e., ten or more years) and investment-grade corporate bonds.

Within the high-yield bond market, the lower-quality issues that had generated
the strongest returns during the past 12 months began to underperform given the
higher uncertainty over future economic growth and rising volatility in the
financial markets. This was not surprising given the increased volatility and
deterioration in the U.S. stock market. The performance of lower-quality issues
in the high-yield bond market tends to be more closely correlated to the U.S.
stock market than that of the higher-quality segments of the high-yield market.

Our relatively higher-quality orientation in the Fund's high-yield bond portion
caused it to exceed the high yield bond market averages to a modest degree
during the period under review. We remain committed to emphasizing
better-quality, high-yield issues in the Diversified Strategic Income Fund,
especially in light


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

of the increased turbulence in a number of Asian economies and Russia and the
potential slowdown in U.S. economic growth for the remainder of 1998.

As noted previously, the U.S. Treasury market has been sought out as a "safe
haven" by investors concerned about increased economic uncertainty. At the same
time, an extremely heavy amount of new high-yield bond issues also caused the
high-yield bond market to underperform most other U.S. bond market sectors. Year
to date, the total of newly issued high-yield bonds was roughly $115 billion,
which is more than twice last year's figure of $55 billion. Moreover,
year-to-date cash inflows into high-yield bond funds was roughly $15 billion,
while above last year's total of $8 billion, was clearly insufficient to
counterbalance the effects of an extremely heavy new-issue calendar. Yet, with
increasing market volatility, the amount of high-yield bonds issued has slowed
somewhat after the reporting period.

The U.S. economy today remains generally supportive of high-yield bonds and
inflation continues to be modest. However, we believe we're beginning to see a
gradual deterioration in manufacturing industries in the U.S. with fewer exports
to Asia. It's still an open question whether Asia's problems will have a
meaningful negative impact on future U.S. economic growth. While the Fed remains
concerned about the underlying strength of the U.S. economy and the potential
for higher inflation in the future, there has been little evidence of
inflationary pressures so far.

Foreign Government Securities

The world's major government bond markets all performed well in the 12 months to
the end of June. In our view, the key macro-economic factors behind the fall in
global bond yields were:

o    The continuing favorable inflation environment with weak commodity prices,
     especially in the energy sector.

o    The strong performance by the major currencies in Europe and North America
     that acted to counteract the negative influence of strong economic growth
     and low levels of unemployment.

The deteriorating economic situation in Japan and unfavorable developments in
several of the emerging markets were additional drivers of bond market behavior
in the first half of 1998. The core European bond markets, the U.S. Treasury
bond market and the U.S. dollar were the main flight-to-quality beneficiaries of
growing uncertainty in the global economy.

The U.S. Treasury bond market returned 4.26% in dollar terms in the first six
months of 1998. Over the same period the U.S. dollar fell slightly against the
deutschemark, from around Dem 1.85 to approximately Dem 1.82. Against the
Japanese currency, however, the U.S. dollar appreciated from Yen 133.0 to Yen
138.0.

The German government bond market achieved a return of 4.79% (in deutschemark
terms) in the first half of 1998, slightly outperforming U.S. Treasurys. In
dollar-hedged terms, German bonds returned 5.88%, as the relatively steeper
yield curve in Germany generated roughly 1% in additional yield. The other core
European markets all returned similar amounts, with the best-performing one
being France with a local currency return of 4.96% during the first six months
of the year. The erstwhile higher-yielding European Union candidate markets of
Spain and Italy returned 4.94% and 5.06%, respectively, during the first half of
1998.

The European bond markets with freely floating currencies outperformed over the
same period, catching up to some extent on the yield convergence already
witnessed in the core markets. Swedish government bonds generated the best
return of 7.52%, while U.K. government bonds returned 5.98% over the same period
and the Danish government bond market returned 5.24%.

Within the Fund's foreign government securities portion, our holdings were
concentrated in Europe with no exposure to Japan. We also had only marginal
exposure to emerging bond markets and consequently suffered no adverse effects
from the ongoing financial crisis which has engulfed many of the world's
developing countries.

Market Outlook

Looking ahead, we view the U.S. bond market as very attractive. With currently
low interest rates and mortgage prepayments at their highest levels since 1993,
some would argue that interest rates should not decline further. In our view,
there is evidence that suggests interest rates could drop even more.
Inflation-adjusted interest rates are currently approaching 4% compared to a
historical norm of 2.75%.

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

The Fund's high-yield bond portion remains cautiously positioned with a heavy
emphasis in better-quality, intermediate-maturity "B" and "BB" rated high-yield
bonds. In addition, the Fund continued to emphasize telecommunications issues as
well as cable and media issues.

Given the continued problems in Asia, we plan to remain underweighted in basic
commodity industries such as steel, forest products and petrochemicals,
industries that have been negatively affected by deflationary trends over the
past six months. (Deflation is when prices actually fall. Deflation should not
be confused with disinflation. Disinflation is the slowing down of the rate at
which prices increase.) We have recently started to lower our energy industry
exposure given the continued weakness in energy prices and our expectation is
that as long as Asia remains mired in difficulties, energy prices should remain
depressed.

The solutions to current global market turmoil may be painful and difficult.
Consequently, we believe that the impact on financial markets may be
unpredictable. In our view, the U.S. financial markets should remain a safe
haven until the solutions to the turmoil become better known.

In closing, we thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Diversified Strategic
Income Fund. We look forward to continuing to help you pursue your financial

     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 ("CDSCs") 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 4.50% and 1.00%,
     respectlvely; 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.

*    Inception dates for Class A, B, L, Y and Z shares are November 6, 1992,
     December 28, 1989, March 19, 1993, October 10, 1995 and November 6, 1992,
     respectively.

+    Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares at
     inception on December 28, 1989, assuming reinvestment of dividends and
     capital gains, if any, at net asset value through July 31, 1998. The Lehman
     Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is composed of the Government Corporate Bond
     Index, the Asset-Backed Securities Index and the Mortgage-Backed Securities
     Index and includes treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues
     and mortgage-backed issues. The index is unmanaged and it is not subject to
     the same management and trading expenses as a mutual fund. The performance
     of the Fund's other classes may be greater or less than the Class B shares'
     performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether greater or lesser
     sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in other
     classes.

     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. No adjustment
     has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

Bond Ratings (unaudited)
================================================================================

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

Standard & Poor's letter ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus (+)
or minus (-) sign, which is used to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.

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

BB, B, CCC,      -- Bonds rated BB, B, CCC and C are regarded, on balance, as   
CC and C            predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's      
                    capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance  
                    with the terms of the obligation. BB indicates the lowest   
                    degree of speculation and C the highest degree of           
                    speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality 
                    and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by     
                    large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse      
                    conditions.                                                 
                    
Moody's applies the numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from "Baa" through "Caa". The modifier 1 indicates that the
security ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2
indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks
in the lower end of its generic category.

Baa              -- Bonds rated "Baa" are considered to be medium grade
                    obligations; that is they are neither highly protected nor
                    poorly secured. Interest payment and principal security
                    appear adequate for the present but certain protective
                    elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
                    unreliable over any great length of time. These bonds lack
                    outstanding investment characteristics and may have
                    speculative characteristics as well. 

Ba               -- Bonds that are rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative
                    elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured.
                    Often the protection of interest and principal payments may
                    be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during
                    both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of
                    position characterizes bonds in this class. 

B                -- Bonds that are rated "B" generally lack characteristics of
                    desirable investments. Assurance of interest and principal
                    payment or of maintenance of other terms of the contract
                    over any long period of time may be small.

Caa              -- Bonds that are rated "Caa" are of poor standing. Such issues
                    may be in default, or present elements of danger may exist
                    with respect to principal or interest.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
================================================================================

1.   Significant Accounting Policies

The Smith Barney Diversified Strategic Income Fund ("Fund"), a separate
investment fund of the Smith Barney Income Funds ("Trust"), a Massachusetts
business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust
consists of this Fund and seven other separate investment funds: Smith Barney
Exchange Reserve Fund, Smith Barney Convertible Fund, Smith Barney High Income
Fund, Smith Barney Municipal High Income Fund, Smith Barney Premium Total Return
Fund, Smith Barney Balanced Fund (formerly known as Smith Barney Utilities Fund)
and Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund. The financial statements and financial
highlights for the other funds are presented in separate annual reports.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are: (a)
security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities traded in
national securities markets are valued at the closing prices in the primary
exchange on which they are traded; securities listed or traded on certain
foreign exchanges or other markets whose operations are similar to the U.S.
over-the-counter market (including securities listed on exchanges where the
primary market is believed to be over-the-counter) and securities for which no
sales were reported on that date are valued at the mean between the bid and ask
prices. Securities which are listed or traded on more than one exchange or
market are valued at the quotations on the exchange or market determined to be
the primary market for such securities; (c) securities maturing within 60 days
are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which
approximates value; (d) dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date; foreign
dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practical after the
Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising
reasonable due diligence; (e) interest income, adjusted for accretion of
original issue discount, is recorded on an accrual basis; (f) gains or losses on
the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification
method; (g) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date; (h) the accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. All
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into
U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S.
dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income
and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective
date that such transactions are recorded. Differences between income or expense
amounts recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the
custodian bank; (i) direct expenses are charged to each class; management fees
and general fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets; (j)
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; (k) 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
July 31, 1998, reclassifications are 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, a portion of
accumulated net investment loss amounting to $15,587,251 has been reclassified
to paid-in capital. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets
were not affected by this adjustment; and (l) 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.

In addition, the Fund may enter into forward exchange contracts in order to
hedge against foreign currency risk. These contracts are marked to market daily,
by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current
market rate as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses are
recognized when contracts are settled.

2.   Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other
     Transactions

Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Trust. The Fund pays MMC an
investment advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.45% of the average
daily net assets. The Fund has also entered into a sub-advisory agreement with
Smith Barney Global Capital Management ("Global Capital Management"), a
subsidiary of SSBH. From its fee, MMC pays Global Capital Management a
sub-advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. These fees are calculated daily and paid monthly.

MMC also acts as the Trust's administrator for which the Fund pays a fee
calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets. This fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly.

Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, acts as distributor of
Trust shares and primary broker for its portfolio agency transactions.

On June 12, 1998, the Fund's existing Class C shares were renamed as Class L
shares. Effective June 15, 1998, Class 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 CDSC of 4.50% on Class B shares, which applies if redemption
occurs within one year from initial 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 certain cases, 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 July 31, 1998, SB received sales charges of approximately
$1,344,000 and $78,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A and L shares,
respectively.

In addition, CDSCs paid to SB for the year ended July 31, 1998 were:

================================================================================
</TABLE>                                       

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to
Class A, B and L shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets for each respective class. The Fund also pays a distribution
fee with respect to Class B and L shares calculated at the annual rates of 0.50%
and 0.45% of the average daily net assets of each class, respectively. For the
year ended July 31, 1998, total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

3.   Investments

During the year ended July 31, 1998, the aggregate cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

<TABLE>
================================================================================
<S>                                                               <C>           
Purchases                                                         $3,749,593,467

================================================================================
</TABLE>

At July 31, 1998, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation
of investments for Federal income tax purposes were substantially as follows:

<TABLE>
================================================================================

Gross unrealized appreciation                                       $57,599,611
Gross unrealized depreciation                                       (30,178,680)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation                                         $27,420,931
================================================================================
</TABLE>

4.   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) and the credit risk should a counterparty
fail to perform under such contracts.

At July 31, 1998, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

5.   Fund Concentration

The Fund's investment in foreign securities may involve risks not present in
domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in a foreign currency
and may require settlement in foreign currencies and pay interest and or
dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign
currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the
investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign investments may also subject the
Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or
other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the
market and/or credit risk of the investments.

7.   Repurchase Agreements

The Fund purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S. government
securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to resell the
securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next business day) at
an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Fund requires continual maintenance
of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the
repurchase price.

8.   Reverse Repurchase Agreement

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreement transactions for leveraging
purposes. A reverse repurchase agreement involves a sale by the Fund of
securities that it holds with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same
securities at an agreed upon price and date. A reverse repurchase agreement
involves the risk that the market value of the securities sold by the Fund may
decline below the repurchase price of the securities. The Fund will establish a
segregated account with its custodian, in which the Fund will maintain cash,
U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations equal in
value to its obligations with respect to reverse repurchase agreements.

================================================================================
</TABLE>

Interest rates ranged from 4.50% to 5.30% for the year ended July 31, 1998.

Interest expense for the year ended July 31, 1998 on borrowings by the Fund
under reverse repurchase agreements totalled $1,643,874. The Fund had no open
reverse repurchase agreements at July 31, 1998.

9.   Securities Traded on a To-Be-Announced Basis

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

At July 31, 1998, the Fund held no TBA securities.

10.  Lending of Portfolio Securities

The Fund has an agreement with its custodian whereby the custodian may lend
securities owned by the Fund to brokers, dealers and other financial
organizations, and receives a lenders fee. Fees earned by the Fund on securities
lending are recorded in interest income. Loans of securities by the Fund are
collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or high quality money market
instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the
current market value of the loaned securities, plus a margin which may vary
depending on the type of securities loaned. The custodian establishes and
maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Fund maintains exposure
for the risk of any losses in the investment of amounts received as collateral.

At July 31, 1998, the Fund had loaned corporate and international bonds having a
value of approximately $68,330,500 and holds the following collateral for loaned
securities:

11.  Shares of Beneficial Interest

At July 31, 1998, the Trust had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund has the
ability to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain
direct expenses, including those 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.

Independent Auditors' Report
================================================================================

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Smith Barney Income Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of Smith Barney Diversified Strategic Income Fund
of Smith Barney Income Funds as of July 31, 1998, and 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 the 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 July 31, 1994, were audited by other auditors
whose report thereon, dated September 30, 1994, 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 July
31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian. As to securities purchased and
sold but not received and 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 Diversified Strategic Income Fund of Smith Barney Income Funds as of July
31, 1998, 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 the
financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Proposal 2 requested that shareholders approve certain changes to the
fundamental investment policies of the Fund in order to modernize them in view
of certain regulatory, business or industry developments that have occurred
since original adoption of these policies by the Fund. The following chart
demonstrates that all proposals were approved by the shareholders.

Please note that "M" indicates a modification of the policy; "E" indicates the
elimination of the policy; and "R" indicates the reclassification of the policy
from fundamental (which would require shareholder approval to change) to
non-fundamental (which can be changed by a vote of the Board of Trustees).

     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, L and O shares.

(2)  On June 12, 1998, Class C shares were renamed Class O 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 charges of 5.00% and 1.00%,
     respectively; Class B shares reflect the deduction of a 5.00% CDSC, which
     applies if shares are redeemed within one year from purchase. Thereafter,
     the CDSC declines by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L and
     O shares 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. 

+    Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the
     total return for the year.

++   Inception dates for Class A, B, L and O shares are November 6, 1992, March
     28, 1988, June 15, 1998 and February 4, 1993, respectively.

FUND HIGHLIGHT
================================================================================

The Fund has been undergoing important changes in recent months. The Fund now
has a target asset allocation of approximately 60% in stocks and 40% in bonds...
In selecting stocks for the Fund, we employ an investing approach emphasizing a
broadly diversified portfolio across a wide range of industries. Generally, the
stock portfolio of the Fund will be comprised mostly of mid- to
large-capitalization companies. However, the Fund may also invest in
smaller-capitalization companies if we believe they offer attractive investment
opportunities.

Investment Strategy Update

As you know, the Fund has been undergoing important changes in recent months.
The Fund now has a target asset allocation of approximately 60% in stocks and
40% in bonds and is no longer required to invest in the securities of utilities
companies. In addition, the Fund has a new management team: Charles Graves will
join Jack Levande in managing the stock portion and James Conroy and John
Bianchi will manage the bond portion.

In selecting stocks for the Fund, the team employs an investing approach
emphasizing a broadly diversified portfolio across a wide range of industries.
Generally, the stock portion of the Fund will be comprised mostly of mid- to
large-capitalization companies. However, the Fund's managers may also invest in
smaller-capitalization companies if we believe they offer attractive investment
opportunities.

During the reporting period, we identified a number of promising companies,
especially in the areas of banking, technology and pharmaceuticals. For example,
we recently added Chase Manhattan Bank, a major bank with a broad array of
financial services, to the Fund's portfolio because we believed that the stock
was undervalued in the market. In our opinion, Chase should continue to grow at
above-average rates over the long term, especially after it completes its
announced restructuring plans. We have also added NationsBank after it announced
a merger with Bank America. We believe the merger should promote NationBank's
presence, create cost savings and enhance its ability to grow.

In technology, we have added Compaq, a leading personal computer manufacturer,
to the portfolio when the company merged with the former computer giant,
Digital. In our view, the benefits of that merger were not fully reflected in
the stock price. We expect the merger to help the new company gain market share
and add to revenue growth going forward.

Another example of our investment approach was the purchase of Merck, a premier
drug manufacturer. Merck recently fell out of favor with investors as its patent
protection on key products approached expiration. Although many other drug
companies are facing similar patent losses, Merck continued to sell at a lower
valuation than its peer group. However, we believe the loss of patent protection
was overly discounted in its stock price. Because Merck has a number of new
products in its development pipeline, we believe its growth prospects remain
bright.

Stock Market Update

The U.S. stock market continued its dramatic rise in the past year despite
growing concerns over foreign markets. After rebounding from the initial effects
of the Asian crisis, the earnings growth outlook for a number of U.S. companies,
particularly manufacturers, became clouded as the crisis wore on. Nonetheless,
both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a capitalization-weighted
measure of 30 blue-chip companies, reached new record levels during July 1998. A
relatively narrow group of the very largest companies led the advance,
continuing a trend that had been in place for well over a year.

As valuations of U.S. stocks continued to swell and the prospects of an Asian
recovery became increasingly uncertain, many investors sought refuge from market
turmoil in blue-chip U.S. companies. In our view, these companies tend to be
less risky because of their stronger balance sheets, more predictable earnings
and market leadership. Moreover, we believe that this has been largely a
liquidity-driven stock market. Flows of new investment money into financial
markets have remained high and investors have tended to put that money into
blue-chip stocks as well as U.S. Treasury securities. This growing demand
combined with a limited supply helped to propel these stocks even higher.

A vibrant U.S. economy also helped to support the stock market. According to the
Conference Board, consumer confidence reached a 29-year high in June 1998.
Domestic spending remains a critical component of the U.S. economy, making up
roughly 72% of the gross domestic product ("GDP"). Despite economic

woes elsewhere, U.S.-based service industries and retailers have benefited from
brisk consumer spending and the lower cost of materials. In addition, the
housing market also boomed due to record-level new home sales.

Bond Market Update

A strong U.S. dollar and ongoing turmoil in foreign markets helped fuel a
powerful bond market rally during the reporting period. As noted, many investors
sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasury securities in response to growing
uncertainties. This heightened demand helped send the yield on the bellwether
30-year U.S. Treasury bond, which moves in the opposite direction of its price,
to new record lows in the second quarter of 1998.

Moreover, moderating economic growth and low inflation in the U.S. economy today
remains generally supportive of corporate and government bonds. However, we
believe we're beginning to see a gradual deterioration in manufacturing
industries in the U.S. with fewer exports to Asia. It's still an open question
whether Asia's problems will have a meaningful negative impact on future U.S.
economic growth. While the Federal Reserve Board remains concerned about the
underlying strength of the U.S. economy and the potential for higher inflation
in the future, there has been little evidence of inflationary pressures so far.

Outlook

Until solutions to Asia's economic troubles become better known, we expect
volatility in financial markets to continue in the coming months. Moreover, any
bad news, such as corporate earnings disappointments, will likely be magnified
in the market.

Nonetheless, we continue to view the prospects of the U.S. stock and bond market
as very bright. The underpinnings that have supported the U.S. stock and bond
markets remain in place. Economic growth in the U.S. appears to be moderating
and inflation has remained subdued. In our view, corporate earnings growth may
return to more normal levels rather than continue the outsized gains witnessed
in recent years. In these market conditions, we believe that careful stock and
bond selection will be the key to investing success in the coming months.

In closing, thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Balanced Fund. We look
forward to helping you pursue your investment goals.

Sincerely,

================================================================================
An Interview with Portfolio Managers Jack Levande 
and Charles "Chad" Graves III, CFA
================================================================================

Recently, we had an opportunity to speak with Jack Levande and Chad Graves where
they shared insights into their approach to stock investing.

Chad, could you describe the new composition of the Smith Barney Balanced Fund?

Chad: The Fund's portfolio is divided into the two major parts: stocks and
bonds. Jack and I are the Fund's two stock managers. On the fixed-income side of
the Fund, the portfolio management team is John Bianchi, who handles the high
yield portion of the Fund and Jim Conroy, who manages the investment-grade and
government side of the portfolio.

Under normal market conditions, the portfolio will be made up of roughly 60%
stocks and 40% bonds. The Fund's bond portfolio is further divided into about
25% high-yield bonds and 15% investment-grade bonds.

Do you have any flexibility in changing the Fund's weighting in different asset
classes?

Jack: Yes, we do have some flexibility to increase or decrease our weightings in
different asset classes. But our goal here is not to try to time the market.
That is something that's difficult for even the best investors to do well
consistently.

While the structure of the Fund will usually be a 60/40 stock and bond mix, we
can go up as high as 70% stocks, or as low as 50%. The allocation will vary
based on our market outlook and in-depth analysis in conjunction with the bond
management team regarding what they see in their marketplace versus how we view
the stock market.

Regarding the stock portion of the Fund, are you looking at any single market
capitalization or particular industry?

Chad: From a capitalization perspective, the Fund will typically have a
large-capitalization emphasis. But that does not mean we are going to limit our
selections just to large-cap stocks. Generally, I would say that large-cap
stocks will make up 80% of the Fund's portfolio and smaller companies might make
up the remaining 20%. These are very broad guidelines, not something that is
etched in stone. While the Fund will usually contain a very well diversified
portfolio of stocks, we may choose to emphasize certain industries depending on
our outlook for the economy and the market.

For example, in the early stages of the Fund's transition period, we have
decided to overweight technology and financial stocks. It's not a significant
overweighting. It's just what we want to emphasize currently.

Jack: I would also add that the strategy for the stock portion is largely a
valued-based approach. This means that we search for companies with strong
balance sheets and predictable earnings that have attractive valuations.

Chad: As Jack pointed out, we tend to employ a value-oriented approach, but we
are indifferent to whether a stock is classified as a growth stock or classified
as a value stock. Our emphasis on buying good companies at attractive prices
naturally pushes us to the value side of the market. However, if the growth
characteristics of a company are strong enough to justify a larger than average
valuation, we're not going to eliminate it from consideration simply because
it's viewed as a growth stock.

How do you manage risk in the Fund?

Chad: There are actually two ways that we attempt to control risk in the
portfolio. First, we conduct a thorough risk analysis of each individual stock.
The second way is through careful portfolio construction.

In selecting stocks for the Fund, we closely examine the company's financial
strength, earnings predictability and stock price stability. From this, we
arrive at a composite picture that we use to identify the risk of a particular
security versus that of the overall market.

During the Fund's reconstruction phase we have started with approximately 80% of
the portfolio invested in very high-quality companies that have met our
selection criteria. These stocks might be considered as core holdings. The
remaining portion of the Fund will typically be invested in more aggressive
stocks that may not qualify as core holdings but have a good degree of tactical
attractiveness to them.

We also pay close attention to the company's representation relative to the
Fund's portfolio. In the core section of the portfolio we will weigh stocks
anywhere from roughly 1% to 3%, with 1% being an underweighted position. For
example, we may choose to underweight a stock if we think it's still a good
long-term holding, but perhaps the stock has some near-term concerns.

Jack: To give you a better idea of the types of companies we invest in, some of
the Fund's top holdings currently include: WorldCom, Chase Manhattan Bank,
Merck, Associates First, NationsBank, Johnson and Johnson, EMC Corp, Xerox,
Baxter International and Cisco Systems.

Jack, with market volatility on the rise, are you taking any measures to
minimize volatility in the portfolio?

Jack: At this point in the transition phase we have elected to maintain a
slightly overweighted position in utilities, traditionally a defensive asset
category. We have also maintained a cash reserve that we have yet to put to
work. In our view, the market's recent volatility may very well present us with
some outstanding buying opportunities.

How should investors view balanced mutual funds?

Chad: In my opinion, a balanced fund usually is suitable for investors who want
some stock market exposure but at the same time, have a bit of a natural
aversion to the volatility inherent when you invest in stocks.

Jack: And certainly, in the last year and a half, we have seen stock market
volatility come back strongly. While volatility may feel a lot higher than
normal, it's actually returned to its long-term levels.

We have seen investors looking for ways to participate in the stock market, but
in a less volatile fashion. A balanced fund is a great way to get professional
management in two asset classes and in one account.

Chad: And in one program, so that you have the expertise of a bond team, and the
expertise of the stock team, working closely together on the portfolio, so that
we can optimize return potential without taking on excessive risk.*

Jack: I agree with Chad. And I would like to add that a balanced fund might be
appropriate for investors who are more income focused. Although the yield of a
balanced fund won't be as high as a pure bond fund, you're getting a higher
yield than you would get in a stock fund. That income also helps to reduce the
volatility because of diversification.

*    Please note that the Fund also invests in securities rated less than
     investment-grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating
     organization. These securities, some of which have speculative
     characteristics, may be subject to greater market fluctuations and greater
     risk of income or principal than higher-rated securities.

What is your outlook for the markets?

Chad: In the last three years, I have started every seminar I have done by
saying the exact same thing:

We shouldn't expect to see in the coming year what we have seen in the previous
one.

At one point in 1998 we were up 22% to 23% percent and at the close of the
reporting period, that return has narrowed to about half. Given the
uncertainties that exist both at home and abroad, we would be somewhat content
to see flat returns for the rest of the year.

Moreover, we think that the stock market volatility will continue. Stock market
returns over the last three years have been phenomenally strong. And that
performance has pushed stocks to valuation levels that may be justified given
the low inflation, low interest rate and good economic growth but, at the same
time, are still very high and may prove to be ultimately unsustainable.

Jack: In our view, the current bull market has been a liquidity-driven market
with the focus on large-capitalization names. Substantial inflows from mutual
funds and individual investors have pushed the market ever higher in recent
years.

What we're seeing now is the continued disparity between robust domestic growth
and concerns of a substantially weakened overseas market. Strong economic growth
in the U.S. has added to domestic wage pressures and a declining unemployment
rate while many corporations are also facing intense competition from foreign
companies. These two developments have, in turn, increased pressure on corporate
profits.

We believe the market will continue to struggle between these two forces. And as
long as current valuations persist, you're going to see higher volatility. As we
wrote in our letter, individual stock selection will be the key to investing
success in the coming months.

Gentlemen, thank you for your time.

+    Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares on July 31,
     1988, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net
     asset value through July 31, 1998. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index is
     composed of widely held common stocks listed on the New York Stock
     Exchange, American Stock Exchange and over-the-counter market. Figures for
     the index include reinvestment of dividends. The index is unmanaged and is
     not subject to the same management and trading expenses of a mutual fund.
     The Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. Utilities Fund Average ("Lipper
     Utilites Fund Average") is composed of the Fund's peer group of mutual
     funds (102 funds as of July 31, 1998) investing in utilities securities.
     The performance of the Fund's other classes may be greater or less than the
     Class B shares' performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether
     greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders
     investing in other classes.

     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. No adjustment
     has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

Bond Ratings (unaudited)
================================================================================


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

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

AAA       --   Bonds rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by S&P to a
               debt obligation. 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 differs 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 debt in higher rated categories.

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

BB, B
and CCC   --   Bonds rated "BB" and "B" are regarded, on balance, as
               predominantly speculative with respect tocapacity to pay interest
               and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the
               obligation. "BB" represents a lower degree of speculation than
               "B", and "CCC" the highest degree of speculation. While such
               bonds will likely have some quality and protective
               characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or
               major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

Moody's-- Numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 may be applied to each generic rating
from "Baa" to "Caa", 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 the 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;
               that is they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.
               Interest payment and principal security appear adequate for the
               present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
               characteristically unreliable over any great length of time.
               These bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and may
               have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba        --   Bonds rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative elements; their
               future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection
               of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
               thereby may not well safeguarded during both good and bad times
               over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in
               this class.

B         --   Bonds rated "B" generally lack characteristics of desirable
               investments. Assurance of interest and principal payment or of
               maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period
               of time may be small.

Caa       --   Bonds rated "Caa" are of poor standing. These issues may be in
               default, or present elements of danger may exist with respect to
               principal or interest. 

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

Notes to Financial Statements
================================================================================

1.   Significant Accounting Policies

The Smith Barney Balanced Fund ("Fund"), formerly known as the Smith Barney
Utilities Fund, a separate investment fund of the Smith Barney Income Funds
("Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Trust consists of the Fund and seven other separate
investment funds: Smith Barney Convertible Fund, Smith Barney Diversified
Strategic Income Fund, Smith Barney High Income Fund, Smith Barney Premium Total
Return Fund, Smith Barney Municipal High Income Fund (formerly known as the
Smith Barney Tax-Exempt Income Fund), Smith Barney Exchange Reserve Fund and
Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund. The financial statements and financial
highlights for the other funds are presented in separate annual reports.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are: (a)
security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities traded on
national securities markets are valued at the closing price on such markets;
securities for which no sales price were reported and U.S. government and agency
obligations are valued at bid price, or in the absence of a recent bid price, at
the bid equivalent obtained from one or more of the major market makers; (c)
securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or
minus amortized premium, which approximates value; (d) dividend income is
recorded on ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual
basis; (e) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date; (f) gains or losses on the sale of securities are recorded on
the identified cost basis; (g) direct expenses are charged to each class;
management fees and general fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative
net assets of each class; (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 July 31, 1998, reclassifications were made to the
Fund's capital accounts to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and
gains available for distributions under income tax regulations. Net investment
income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this change; and
(j) estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets,
liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial
statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets
and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual
results to differ.

2.   Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other
     Transactions

Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Trust. The Fund pays MMC an
advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.45% of the average daily net
assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

MMC 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 asset. This fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly.

Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares and primary broker for its portfolio agency transactions. For the
year ended July 31, 1998, SB received brokerage commissions of $139,236.

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

On June 12, 1998, the Fund's existing Class C shares were renamed Class O
shares. In addition, on June 15, 1998, transactions in Class L shares, which are
being sold at net asset value plus a maximum initial sales charge of 1.00%,
commenced. For the year ended July 31, 1998, SB received sales charges of
approximately $68,000 for sales of the Fund's Class A shares and $4,000 for
sales of the Fund's Class L shares.

There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 5.00% on Class B shares,
which applies if redemption occurs less than one year from initial purchase and
declines thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L and O
shares have a 1.00% CDSC if redemption occurs within the first year of purchase.
For the year ended July 31, 1998, CDSCs paid to SB were approximately:

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to
Class A, B, L and O shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets for each respective class. In addition, the Fund pays a
distribution fee with respect to Class B, L and O shares calculated at the
annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75% and 0.45% of the average daily net assets for each
class, respectively. For the year ended July 31, 1998, total Distribution Plan
fees incurred were as follows:

4. Repurchase Agreements

The Fund purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S. government
securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to resell the
securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next business day),
at an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Fund requires continual
maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to
the repurchase price.

5.   Lending of Portfolio Securities

The Fund has an agreement with its custodian whereby the custodian may lend
securities owned by the Fund to brokers, dealers and other financial
organizations. Fees earned by the Fund on securities lending are recorded as
interest income. Loans of securities by the Fund are collateralized by cash,
U.S. government securities or high quality money market instruments that are
maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value
of the loaned securities, plus a margin which may vary

6.   Option Contracts

Premiums paid when put or call options are purchased by the Fund represent
investments which are marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires,
the Fund will realize a loss in the amount of the premium paid. When the Fund
enters into closing sales transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss
depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sales transaction are
greater or less than the premium paid for the option. When the Fund exercises a
put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying
security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium
originally paid. When the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security
which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium
originally paid.

At July 31, 1998, the Fund had no open purchased call or put options.

When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received
by the Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market
daily. When a written option expires, the Fund realizes a gain equal to the
amount of the premium received. When the Fund enters into a closing purchase
transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing
purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written)
without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and
the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option
is exercised, the cost of the security sold will be reduced by the premium
originally received. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the
premium received will reduce the cost of the security which the Fund purchased
upon exercise. When written index options are exercised, settlement is made in
cash.

The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally
paid. The Fund enters into options for hedging purposes. The risk in writing a
call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity to participate in any
decrease in the price of the underlying security beyond the exercise price. The
risk in writing a put option is that the Fund is exposed to the risk of loss if
the market price of the underlying security declines.

During the year ended July 31, 1998, the Fund did not write any options.

7.   Futures Contracts

Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are recognized
as assets. The initial margin is segregated by the custodian and is noted in the
schedule of investments. During the period the futures contract is open, changes
in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by
"marking-to-market" on a daily basis to reflect the

market value of the contract at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin
payments are made or received and recognized as assets due from or liabilities
due to broker, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred.
When the contract is closed, the 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) and the credit risk should a counterparty fail to perform
under such contracts.

At July 31, 1998, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

8.   Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

At July 31, 1998, the Fund had forward foreign currency contracts open as

in the accompanying financial statements were as follows:

Independent Auditors' Report
================================================================================

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
of the Smith Barney Income Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of Smith Barney Balanced Fund of Smith Barney
Income Funds as of July 31, 1998, 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 July 31, 1994
were audited by other auditors whose report, thereon dated September 19, 1994,
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 July
31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian. As to securities purchased or
sold but not yet received or 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 Balanced Fund of Smith Barney Income Funds, as of July 31, 1998, 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.

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

On May 7, 1998, a special meeting of shareholders of the Fund was held for the
purpose of voting on the following matter: 

     To approve or disapprove changes to the investment objectives and certain
investment policies of the Fund.

This proposal requested that shareholders approve changing the Fund's investment
objectives so that income and capital appreciation receive equal consideration.
In addition, the proposal requested that the investment policies of the Fund be
changed so that the Fund would seek to achieve its objective by investing
approximately 60% of its assets in equity securities and 40% in fixed-income
securities. The Fund would no longer be required to invest in securities of
companies in the utilities industry. The following chart demonstrates that the
Proposal was approved by shareholders.

The results of the vote on this Proposal were as follows:

FUND HIGHLIGHT
================================================================================

Our relatively higher-quality orientation caused the Fund's performance to
exceed the high-yield bond market averages to a modest degree during the past
six months. We remain committed to emphasizing better-quality, high-yield issues
in the Fund, especially in light of the increased turbulence in a number of
Asian economies and the potential slowdown in U.S. economic growth for the
remainder of 1998.

Chairman                 Vice President and
                         Investment Officer


Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the annual report for the Smith Barney High Income
Fund ("Fund") for the year ended July 31, 1998. In this report, we summarize the
period's prevailing economic and market conditions and outline our portfolio
strategy. A detailed summary 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 Style Pure Fund

The Smith Barney High Income Fund is a Style Pure Fund. Style Pure Series mutual
funds are Smith Barney Mutual Funds that are the basic building blocks of asset
allocation. Other than maintaining minimal cash or under extraordinary market
conditions, each Style Pure Series Fund is totally invested 100% of the time
within its designated asset classes and its designated investment style.

Performance Update

For the period ended July 31, 1998, the Fund generated a total return of 8.85%
for Class A shares, 8.34% for Class B shares, and 8.38% for Class L shares,
excluding the effect of any sales charges. These results were below the average
twelve-month total return of 9.15% for open-end, high-yield funds as reported by
Lipper Analytical Services Inc., an independent performance fund tracking
organization. In addition, during the past twelve months, the Fund paid income
dividends totaling $1.09 for Class A shares based on a net asset value ("NAV")
of $11.74 per share as of July 31, 1998. This equates to an annual distribution
rate of 9.28%. The Fund's relatively conservative investment strategy helped
propel its total returns over the past six months as the financial markets began
to encounter greater price volatility.

We are also pleased to inform you that for the period ended June 30, 1998, your
Fund's Class A shares received a five-star top overall rating from Morningstar
Inc.,* a leading mutual fund research firm.

Market and Economic Overview

The high-yield bond market generated modest performance during the year ended
July 31, 1998, with total returns in the 3.50% range compared to 2.50% to 3.00%
returns for intermediate U.S. Treasurys (i.e., less than ten years) and
investment-grade corporate bonds, and 3.00% to 4.00% for long-term U.S.
Treasurys (i.e., ten or more years) and investment-grade corporate bonds.

The Fund's Class A shares generated competitive total returns of 2.09% and
8.85%, respectively, during the past six- and twelve-month periods ended July
31, 1998. Within the high-yield bond market, the lower-quality issues that had
generated the strongest returns during

     890 taxable bond funds, respectively. The top ten percent of funds in any
     one category receive a 5-star rating.

the past twelve months began to underperform given the higher uncertainty over
future economic growth and rising volatility in the financial markets. This was
not surprising given the increased volatility and deterioration in the U.S.
stock market. The performance of lower-quality issues in the high-yield bond
market tends to be more closely correlated to the U.S. stock market than that of
the higher-quality segments of the high-yield market.

Our relatively higher-quality orientation caused the Fund's performance to
exceed the high-yield bond market averages to a modest degree during the past
six months. We remain committed to emphasizing better-quality, high-yield issues
in the Fund, especially in light of the increased turbulence in a number of
Asian economies and Russia and the potential slowdown in U.S. economic growth
for the remainder of 1998.

The U.S. Treasury market has been sought out as a "safe haven" by investors
concerned about increased economic uncertainty. At the same time, an extremely
heavy amount of new, high-yield bond issues also caused the high-yield bond
market to underperform most other U.S. bond market sectors. Year to date, the
total of newly issued high-yield bonds was roughly $115 billion, which is more
than twice last year's figure of $55 billion. Moreover, year-to-date cash
inflows into high-yield bond funds were roughly $15 billion and, while above
last year's total of $8 billion, were clearly insufficient to counterbalance the
effects of an extremely heavy new issue calendar. Yet, with increasing market
volatility, the amount of high-yield bonds issued has slowed somewhat after the
reporting period.

The U.S. economy today remains generally supportive of high-yield bonds and
inflation continues to be modest. However, we believe we're beginning to see a
gradual deterioration in manufacturing industries in the U.S. with fewer exports
to Asia. It's still an open question whether Asia's problems will have a
meaningful negative impact on future U.S. economic growth. While the Federal
Reserve Board ("Fed") remains concerned about the underlying strength of the
U.S. economy and the potential for higher inflation in the future, there has
been little evidence of inflationary pressures so far.

Portfolio Strategy and Market Outlook

As its name implies, the Fund's primary objective remains to focus on delivering
a consistently high level of current income. To achieve this goal, we employ a
consistent and disciplined strategy of investing primarily in better-quality,
high-yielding corporate bonds that are likely to receive an upgrade in their
credit rating over the next one to three years.

The Fund remains cautiously positioned with a heavy emphasis in better-quality,
intermediate-maturity "B" and "BB" rated high-yield bonds. As of July 31, 1998,
the Fund's average maturity on a call-adjusted basis was approximately 6.0
years. (Average maturity on a call-adjusted basis means that the bonds are
callable earlier than their maturity.) In addition, the Fund continued to
emphasize telecommunications issues as well as cable and media issues.

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

Conclusion

We believe the financial markets will remain choppy as investors continue to
sort out the potential negative impact on global economic growth from the large
declines in both currencies and financial assets in many of the emerging markets
of Asia and Latin America. We will continue to be more selective and maintain a
meaningful percentage of stronger "BB" rated issues. We remain focused on
companies that should be less vulnerable to the Asian crisis as well as other
emerging markets that are having financial difficulties. We believe that
economic growth will slow worldwide and general interest rates may go down from
current levels. In that environment, we believe that the better-quality,
high-yield bonds should outperform.

We look forward to continuing to help you achieve your investment goals in the
years ahead. Thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney High Income Fund.

Sincerely,

(1)  Assumes reinvestment of all dividends 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 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 charges of 4.50% 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 occurs. Class L shares reflect the deduction of a 1.00%
     CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed within the first year of
     purchase.

+    Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the
     total return for the year.

++   For the purpose of calculating Class Y shares' cumulative total return, an
     inception date of February 5, 1996 is recognized.

*    Inception dates for Class A, B, L, Y and Z shares are November 6, 1992,
     September 2, 1986, August 24, 1994, April 28, 1995 and November 6, 1992,
     respectively.

+    Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares on July 31,
     1988, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net
     asset value through July 31, 1998. The Salomon Brothers High-Yield Market
     (7-10 year) Index includes cash-pay and deferred-interest bonds with a
     remaining maturity of at least seven years, but less than ten years. This
     index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and trading
     expenses as a mutual fund. The performance of the Fund's other classes may
     be greater or less than the Class B shares' performance indicated on this
     chart, depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were
     incurred by shareholders investing in other classes.

     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. No adjustment
     has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

Bond Ratings (unaudited)
================================================================================

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

Standard & Poor's letter ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus (+)
or minus (-) sign, which is used to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.

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

BB, B and CCC -- Bonds rated "BB" and "B" are regarded, on balance, as
                 predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay
                 interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of
                 the obligation. BB represents a lower degree of speculation
                 than B, and CCC the highest degree of speculation. While such
                 bonds will likely have some quality and protective
                 characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or
                 major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

D             -- Bonds rated "D" are in default, and payment of interest and/or
                 repayment of principal is in arrears.

Moody's applies the numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from "Baa" through "Caa". The modifier 1 indicates that the
security ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2
indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks
in the lower end of its generic category.

Baa           -- Bonds rated "Baa" are considered to be medium grade
                 obligations; that is they are neither highly protected nor
                 poorly secured. Interest payment and principal security appear
                 adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be
                 lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great
                 length of time. These bonds lack outstanding investment
                 characteristics and may have speculative characteristics as
                 well.

Ba            -- Bonds rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative elements; their
                 future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the
                 protection of interest and principal payments may be very
                 moderate and thereby may not well characterize bonds in this
                 class.

B             -- Bonds rated "B" generally lack characteristics of desirable
                 investments. Assurance of interest and principal payment or of
                 maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period
                 of time may be small.

Caa           -- Bonds rated "Caa" are of poor standing. These issues may be in
                 default, or present elements of danger may exist with respect
                 to principal or interest.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
================================================================================

1.   Significant Accounting Policies

The Smith Barney High Income Fund ("Fund"), a separate investment fund of the
Smith Barney Income Funds ("Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of this
Fund and seven other separate investment funds: Smith Barney Exchange Reserve
Fund, Smith Barney Premium Total Return Fund, Smith Barney Convertible Fund,
Smith Barney Municipal High Income Fund, Smith Barney Diversified Strategic
Income Fund, Smith Barney Balanced Fund (formerly known as Smith Barney
Utilities Fund) and Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund. The financial
statements and financial highlights for the other funds are presented in
separate annual reports.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are: (a)
security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities traded on
national securities markets are valued at the closing price on such markets;
securities traded in the over-the-counter market and securities for which no
sales price was reported are valued at bid price, or in the absence of a recent
bid price, at the bid equivalent obtained from one or more of the major market
makers; (c) securities that have a maturity of more than 60 days are valued at
prices based on market quotations for securities of similar type, yield and
maturity; (d) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus
accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, approximates value; (e) the
accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the
rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of
valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are
translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such
transactions are recorded. Differences between income or expense amounts
recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank;
(f) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of
discount, is recorded on an accrual basis; (g) dividend income is recorded on
ex-dividend date; foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or
as soon as practical after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend
declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence; (h) gains or losses on
the sale of securities are recorded by using the specific identification method;
(i) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date; (j) direct expenses are charged to each class; management fees and general
fund expenses are allocated on the basis of the relative net assets; (k) 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 July 31, 1998, 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, a portion
of accumulated net realized loss and overdistributed net investment income
amounting to $55,847,557 and $2,310,494, respectively, was reclassified to paid
in capital. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not
affected by this change; (l) 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;
and (m) 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. 

In addition, the Fund may enter into forward exchange contracts in order to
hedge against foreign currency risk. These contracts are marked to market daily
by recognizing the difference between the contract

exchange rate and the current market rate as an unrealized gain or loss.
Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. The Fund
from time to time may also enter into options and/or futures contracts to hedge
market risk.

2.   Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other
     Transactions

Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays MMC an
investment advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average
daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

MMC 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. This fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly.

Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, acts as distributor of
Trust shares and primary broker for its portfolio agency transactions.

On June 12, 1998, the Fund's existing Class C shares were renamed Class L
shares. Effective June 15, 1998, Class 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 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. In certain cases, Class A shares 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 July 31, 1998, SB received sales charges of $1,571,000 and $112,000 on
sales of the Fund's Class A and L shares, respectively. In addition, CDSCs paid
to SB were:

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

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to
Class A, B and L shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets of each respective class. In addition, the Fund pays a
distribution fee with respect to Class B and L shares calculated at an annual
rate of 0.50% and 0.45% of the average daily net assets for each class,
respectively. For the year ended July 31, 1998, total Distribution Plan fees
incurred were:

4.   Capital Loss Carryforward

At July 31, 1998, the Fund had, for Federal income tax purposes, capital loss
carryforwards of approximately $131,281,000 available, to offset future realized
capital gains. To the extent that these capital carryforward losses are used to
offset realized capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not
be distributed. The following capital loss carryforward amounts expire on July
31 in the year indicated below:

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 July 31, 1998, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

6.   Option Contracts

Premiums paid when put or call options are purchased by the Fund, represent
investments, which are marked-to-market daily and are included in the schedule
of investments. When a purchased option expires, the Fund will realize a loss in
the amount of the premium paid. When the Fund enters into closing sales
transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the
proceeds from the closing sales transaction are greater or less than the premium
paid for the option. When the Fund exercises a put option, it will realize a
gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such
sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. When the Fund exercises a
call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise
will be increased by the premium originally paid.

At July 31, 1998, the Fund had no open purchased call or put options contracts.

When a Fund writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium
received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is
marked-to-market daily. When a written option expires, the Fund realizes a gain
equal to the amount of the premium received. When the Fund enters into a closing
purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain or loss depending upon whether
the cost of the closing transaction is greater or less than the premium
originally received, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the
underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated.
When a written call option is exercised, the cost of the security sold will be
decreased by the premium originally received. When a put option is exercised,
the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the
security which the Fund purchased upon exercise. When written index options are
exercised, settlement is made in cash.

The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally
paid. The Fund enters into

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

options for hedging purposes. The risk in writing a covered call option is that
the Fund gives up the opportunity to participate in any increase in the price of
the underlying security beyond the exercise price. The risk in writing a put
option is that the Fund is exposed to the risk of a loss if the market price of
the underlying security declines.

For the year ended July 31, 1998, the Fund did not write any options.

7.   Repurchase Agreements

The Fund purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S. government
securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to resell the
securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next business day) at
an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Fund requires continual maintenance
of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the
repurchase price.

8.   Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

At July 31, 1998, the Fund had open forward foreign currency contracts as
described below. The Fund bears the market risk that arises from changes in
foreign currency exchange rates. The net unrealized loss on the contracts
reflected in the accompanying financial statements were as follows:

9.   Shares of Beneficial Interest

At July 31, 1998, the Trust had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund has the
ability to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain
direct 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 July 31, 1998, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each
class:

Independent Auditors' Report
================================================================================

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Smith Barney Income Funds:

     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of Smith Barney High Income Fund of Smith
Barney Income Funds as of July 31, 1998, and 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 the 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
one-year period ended July 31, 1994, were audited by other auditors whose report
thereon, dated September 19, 1994, 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 July
31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian. As to securities sold and
purchased but not yet delivered and received, 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 High Income Fund of Smith Barney Income Funds as of July 31, 1998,
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 the
financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Proposal 2 requested that shareholders approve certain changes to the
fundamental investment policies of the Fund in order to modernize them in view
of certain regulatory, business or industry developments that have occurred
since original adoption of these policies by the Fund. The following chart
demonstrates that all proposals were approved by the shareholders. Please note
that "M" indicates a modification of the policy; "E" indicates the elimination
of the policy; and "R" indicates the reclassification of the policy from
fundamental (which would require shareholder approval to change) to
non-fundamental (which can be changed by a vote of the Board of Trustees).

(1)   Assumes reinvestment of all dividends 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)   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.
      Thereafter, the CDSC declines 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.

With market volatility on the rise, municipal bonds may present a safe haven for
investors. Moreover, we believe that a prudent mix of both high-quality and
high-yield municipal bonds can offer investors both total return opportunities
and a competitive income stream.

Chairman                    Vice President and      
                            Investment Officer      

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the annual report for the Smith Barney Municipal High
Income Fund ("Fund") for the year ended July 31, 1998. In this report, we
summarize the period's prevailing economic and market conditions and outline our
portfolio strategy. A detailed summary of performance can be found in the
appropriate sections that follow. We hope you find this report to be useful and
informative.

Fund Performance

For the year ended July 31, 1998, the Fund's Class A shares posted a total
return of 6.54% and performed in line with its Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
peer group average of 6.86% for the same period. (Lipper is an independent
fund-tracking organization.) Over the past year, the Fund distributed income
dividends totaling $0.98 and a capital gains distribution of $0.27 per Class A
share. Based on its Class A shares net asset value of $17.96 as of July 31, 1998
and assuming a federal tax bracket of 36%, the Fund provided shareholders with a
tax-free yield of 5.46%. To match this yield, investors in the 36% federal tax
bracket would have to earn 8.53% on a taxable investment alternative. (According
to the Internal Revenue Service, nearly 10% of all U.S. taxpayers fall into the
36% federal tax bracket.)

We are pleased to report that the Fund has been given a four-star rating overall
for Class A and B shares and a five-star rating overall for Class L shares from
Morningstar, Inc.* as of June 30, 1998.

A Style Pure Fund

The Smith Barney Municipal High Income Fund is a Style Pure Fund. Style Pure
Series mutual funds are Smith Barney Mutual Funds that are the basic building
blocks of asset allocation. Other than maintaining minimal cash or under
extraordinary market conditions, each Style Pure Series Fund is totally invested
100% of the time within its designated asset classes and its investment style.

Market and Economic Overview

Interest rates continued to decline overall during the course of the reporting
period. However, the bond markets did experience volatility as investors
responded to a conflicting combination of low inflation and falling
unemployment. The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") last raised the federal-funds
rate by 0.25% in March 1997, but has since chosen to remain on the sidelines.
(The federal-funds rate is the interest rate banks charge each other for
overnight loans and a closely watched indicator of the direction of interest
rates.) However, the persistent strength of the U.S. economy heightened fears
among many investors that the Fed would raise short-term interest rates.

Since the end of October, the dominant theme in the financial markets continues
to be Asian financial crisis and the extent of the impact it will have on the
U.S.

*  Morningstar, Inc. proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted
   performance through 6/30/98. The ratings are subject to change every month.
   Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Morningstar ratings
   are calculated from the Fund's 3- and 5-year returns (with fee adjustments)
   in excess of 90-day Treasury bill returns. For Class A and Class B shares,
   the Fund received 5 stars for the overall, 3-year period and 4 stars for the
   5-year period. It was rated among 1,549 and 860 for municipal bond funds for
   the 3- and 5-year periods, respectively. For Class L shares, the Fund
   received 5 stars for the overall 3-year period. It was rated among 1,549
   municipal bond funds for the 3-year period. Ten percent of the funds in a
   rating category receive five stars.

economy and key emerging markets such as Russia. Moreover, we expect at least a
modest dampening effect on growth for the rest of the year, with inflation
continuing to trend lower in spite of wage pressures resulting from an extremely
tight U.S. labor market. Yet the ultimate effect of the worsening Asian crisis
is still unknown. In comparison to the international bond markets and in light
of events in Asia and Russia, we think that many U.S. bonds represent good value
based on current market conditions.

Investment Strategy

As previously noted, the Fund seeks maximum current income that is exempt from
federal income taxes by investing primarily in intermediate- and long-term
municipal bonds and municipal leases, rated A, Baa or Ba by Moody's Investors
Service Inc. or A, BBB or BB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, or have an
equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
(Please note that a portion of the income from this Fund may be subjective to
the Alternative Minimum Tax.) (Standard & Poor's Corporation and Moody's
Investors Service Inc. are two major credit reporting and bond-rating agencies.)
Our Fund's main goal is to bring the best of two worlds to our shareholders:
high total return potential and high dividend income potential.

As of July 31, 1998, approximately 77.7% of the Fund's holdings were rated
investment grade. (Investment-grade bonds are those rated in one of the four
highest ratings categories by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, or determined by the manager to be of equivalent quality.) The
Fund's largest holdings were in utility bonds (14.3%), industrial development
bonds (13.8%) and hospital bonds (13.5%).

We still think select housing bonds currently represent good opportunities.
Because of the long-term decline of interest rates, we believe much of the
refinancing has already taken place and therefore, the potential prepayment risk
in these issues has been minimized. We also like select health care issues
because many hospitals are being run more efficiently than in the past. Another
area of emphasis for the Fund during the reporting period has been the airline
industry. As the U.S. economy continues to grow, airlines have clearly been big
beneficiaries. However, we intend to monitor our airline holdings closely,
especially if signs of a possible recession surface in the coming months.

Municipal Bond Market Outlook

Municipal bond refinancings in the first half of 1998 totaled about $42 billion,
or more than twice as much as the first half of 1997. Moreover, total municipal
bond issuance is up roughly 50%, to $146 billion. Many state and local
governments are taking advantage of low interest rates and increased tax revenue
from a strengthening economy to issue new bonds.

Until recently, municipal bond supply outstripped demand and helped push up
yields, which move in the opposite direction of their prices. There has been
some indication that investor appetite for municipal bonds has been increasing
in recent weeks. Insurance companies were among the largest buyers of these
bonds, but we believe that more and more individual investors are beginning to
recognize the attractive investment opportunities that exist in tax-free
municipal bonds.

Going forward, we remain positive on the prospects for the municipal bond
market. High quality, long-term municipal bonds, which usually yield 80% U.S.
Treasury bonds, are now yielding as much as 95%. Municipal bonds are generally
considered attractive when they yield at least 85% of long-term U.S. Treasury
bonds because of their tax advantage. With market volatility on the rise,
municipal bonds may present a safe haven for investors. Moreover, we believe
that a prudent mix of both high-quality and high-yield municipal bonds can offer
investors both total return opportunities and a competitive income stream.

We expect a moderately expanding U.S. economy with the Fed maintaining its
vigilance against higher

inflationary pressure. However, as previously noted, we think that inflation
should remain subdued despite rising wage pressures from a tight U.S. labor
market. Therefore, our outlook for municipal bonds for the rest of the year
remains bright.

In closing, we thank you for your investment in the Municipal High Income Fund
Inc. We look forward to continuing to help you pursue your financial goals.

Sincerely,


/s/ Heath B. McLendon        /s/ Lawrence T. McDermott

(1)   Assumes reinvestment of all dividends 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 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; 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 and L shares are November 6, 1992,
      September 16, 1985 and November 17, 1994, respectively.

+     Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the

   1988, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net
   asset value through July 31, 1998. The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index
   is a broad-based, total return index comprised of bonds which are all
   investment grade, fixed rate, long-term maturities (greater than one year)
   and are selected from issues larger than $50 million dated since January
   1991. The index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and
   trading expenses as a mutual fund. The performance of the Fund's other
   classes may be greater or less than the Class B shares' performance indicated
   on this chart, depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees
   were incurred by shareholders investing in 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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All ratings are by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("Standard & Poor's"),
except that those identified by an asterisk (*) are rated by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or those which are identified by a double dagger (++)
are rated by Fitch Investor Services, Inc. ("Fitch"). The definitions of the
applicable rating symbols are set forth below:

Standard & Poor's -- Ratings from "AA" to "B" 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 issue 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 bonds 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 of exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic
         conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely
         interest and principal payments.

B     -- Bonds rated "B" have a greater vulnerability to default but currently
         have the capacity to meet interest payments and principal payments.
         Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair
         capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The "B"
         rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that
         is assigned an actual or implied "BB" or "BB-" rating.

Moody's --Numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 may be applied to each generic rating
from "Aa" to "B", 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 such issues.

Aa    -- Bonds rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
         Together with the "Aaa" group they comprise what are generally known as
         high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because
         margins of protection may not be as large as in "Aaa" securities or
         fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there
         may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear
         somewhat larger than in "Aaa" securities.

A     -- Bonds rated "A" possess many favorable investment attributes and are
         to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving
         security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements
         may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time
         in the future.

Baa   -- Bonds rated "Baa" are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e.,
         they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments
         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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bond Ratings (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ba    -- Bonds rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative elements; their
         future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of
         interest and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not
         well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future.
         Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B     -- Bonds rated "B" generally lack characteristics of desirable
         investments. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of
         maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time
         may be small.

Fitch -- Rating may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) sign or minus (-)
to show relative standings with the major ratings categories.

BBB   -- Bonds rated "BBB" are considered to be investment grade and of
         satisfactory credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest or
         dividends and repay principal is considered to be adequate. Adverse
         changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are more
         likeoy to have adverse impact on these securities and, therefore,
         impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds
         will fall below investment grade is higher than for securities with
         higher ratings.

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Short-Term Security Ratings
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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

The Smith Barney Municipal High Income Fund ("Fund"), a separate investment fund
of the Smith Barney Income Funds ("Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of this
Fund and seven other separate investment funds: Smith Barney Exchange Reserve
Fund, Smith Barney Premium Total Return Fund, Smith Barney High Income Fund,
Smith Barney Convertible Fund, Smith Barney Diversified Strategic Income Fund,
Smith Barney Balanced Fund (formerly known as Smith Barney Utilities Fund) and
Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund. The financial statements and financial
highlights for the other funds are presented in separate annual reports.

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 bid and asked price provided by an independent pricing
service that are based on transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from
municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various
relationships between securities; (c) securities maturing within 60 days are
valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which
approximates value; (d) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is recorded on an accrual basis; (e)
gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific
identification method; (f) direct expenses are charged to each class; management
fees and general Fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets
of each class; (g) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on
the ex-dividend date; (h) the character of income and gains to be distributed
are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accepted accounting principles; (i) 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; 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 requirements that allows interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from regular Federal income tax and from certain
states' income taxes, to retain its exempt-interest status when distributed to
the shareholders of the Fund.

Capital gain distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are
declared and paid at least annually. Additional taxable distributions may be
made if necessary to avoid a Federal excise tax.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other
Transactions

Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays MMC an
advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily net
assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

MMC 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. This fee is calculated
daily and paid monthly.

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

Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, acts as distributor of
Trust shares.

On June 12, 1998, the Fund's existing Class C shares were renamed as Class L
shares. Effective June 15, 1998, Class 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 and declines thereafter by 1.00% per year
until no CDSC is incurred.

For the year ended July 31, 1998, SB received sales charges of $70,000 and
$3,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A and Class L shares, respectively. In
addition, CDSCs paid to SB were approximately $231,000 for Class B shares.

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to
Class A, B and L shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average
daily net assets of each respective class. The Fund also pays a distribution fee
with respect to Class B and L shares calculated at the annual rates of 0.50% and
0.55% of the average daily net assets of each class, respectively. For the year
ended July 31, 1998, total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

                             Class A            Class B            Class L
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees      $392,738          $3,335,240          $6,450
================================================================================

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

short-term securities) were as follows:

================================================================================
Purchases                                                     $655,559,219

5. Shares of Beneficial Interest

At July 31, 1998, the Trust had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund has the
ability to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain
direct expenses, including those 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 July 31, 1998, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each
class:

                             Class A            Class B            Class L
================================================================================

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

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Smith Barney Income Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of Smith Barney Municipal High Income Fund of Smith
Barney Income Funds as of July 31, 1998, 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 the 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 July 31, 1994, were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated
September 16, 1994, 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 July
31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian. As to securities sold and
purchased but not delivered and received, 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 Municipal High Income Fund of Smith Barney Income Funds as of July 31,
1998, 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 the
financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the annual report for the Smith Barney Exchange
Reserve Fund ("Fund") for the period ended July 31, 1998. In this report, we
summarize the period's prevailing economic and market conditions and outline our
portfolio strategy. A summary of performance and more detailed financial
information can be found in the appropriate sections that follow.

As of July 31, 1998, Class B shares of the Fund had an average annual yield of
4.42% and the average annual effective yield, which assumes the reinvestment of
dividends, was 4.51%.

Please note that your investment in the Smith Barney Exchange Reserve Fund is
neither insured, nor guaranteed, by the U.S. government. Moreover, no assurance
can be given that the Smith Barney Exchange Reserve Fund will be able to
maintain a stable net asset value ("NAV") of $l.00 per share.

Market Update and Outlook

So far in the second half of 1998, the U.S. economy's expansion remains intact.
Strong consumer demand has fueled the U.S. economy for six straight quarters
with 3.0% or better Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") growth. (GDP measures the
total output of goods and services.) With little or no evidence of inflation,
the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") has been able to keep the federal-funds rate
steady at 5.50% since March 1997. (The federal funds rate is the interest rate
banks charge each other for overnight loans and is a closely watched indicator
of the direction of interest rates.) However, robust employment gains and the
fear of higher wage pressures have kept the Fed on alert.

Counteracting strong U.S. economic growth are pressing questions from abroad.
The Asian crisis (i.e., economic and currency problems in Indonesia, Thailand,
South Korea and other parts of the region) has


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

finally started to negatively affect the U.S. trade balance. Moreover, Japan's
severe banking problems will not go away and the Japanese economy continues to
teeter on the brink of a recession. In addition, the future of Russia's economy
remains cloudy at best.

Due primarily to the extraordinary strength of the U.S. economy, Fed Chairman
Alan Greenspan shifted monetary policy from a neutral stance to a tightening
bias at the March 31, 1998 Federal Open-Market Committee Meeting. (The Federal
Open-Market Committee, or FOMC, is the committee that sets interest rates and
credit policies for the Federal Reserve System.) However, the apparent lack of
inflation has given Chairman Greenspan the opportunity to take a "wait and see"
approach with respect to monetary policy. The major fear in the markets now is
that a pre-emptive strike versus inflation could cause serious ramifications in
the already unsettled Asian countries. Record inventory accumulation in the
first quarter of 1998 along with the problem abroad should help to moderate U.S.
economic growth and allow Greenspan to hold rates steady in the months ahead.
Greenspan's latest testimony to Congress in July has verified his concern over
Asia.

Effective, July 1, 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has
adopted new rules that tighten risk exposure and necessitate additional
monitoring of bank and insurance guarantees and obligor concentrations with
respect to our asset-backed commercial paper. (Asset-backed commercial paper
reflects cash flows from various types of receivables, and is generally
accompanied by a partial guarantee.) All of our guarantors are rated A1/P1 or
better by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Ratings
Service, two major credit reporting and bond rating agencies. Any concentrations
or obligors within asset-backed programs will meet the same stringent credit
standards as we generally employ before we make any purchase. We believe the new
SEC rules will further strengthen the overall quality of the money market fund
industry.

Investment Strategy

Since the Exchange Reserve Fund continues to function as a temporary place for
shareholder assets while they determine their investment strategies, cash flow
in the Fund remains volatile. Therefore, we have maintained a short average life
between 25 and 30 days.

Moreover, some of our banking and corporate names were eliminated during the
reporting period. As replacements, we are considering adding some top-tier
corporate names such as SBC Communications Inc., GTE Corp., Ameritech Capital
Funding Corp. and Province De Quebec to the approved list.

Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Smith Barney Exchange Reserve Fund ("Fund"), a separate investment fund of
the Smith Barney Income Funds ("Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of this
Fund and seven other separate investment funds: Smith Barney Convertible Fund,
Smith Barney Diversified Strategic Income Fund, Smith Barney High Income Fund,
Smith Barney Premium Total Return Fund, Smith Barney Municipal High Income Fund,
Smith Barney Balanced Fund (formerly known as Smith Barney Utilities Fund) and
Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund. The financial statements and financial
highlights for the other Funds are presented in separate annual reports.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are: (a)
security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) the Fund uses the
amortized cost method for valuing investments; accordingly, the cost of
securities plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, approximates
value; (c) interest income is recorded on an accrual basis; (d) direct expenses
are charged to each class; management fees and general Fund expenses are
allocated on the basis of the relative net assets of each class; (e) dividends
and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (f)
gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific
identification method; (g) the Fund intends to comply with the applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to
regulated investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income
sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and excise taxes;
and (h) estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets,
liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial
statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets
and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual
results to differ.

2. Dividends

The Fund declares and records a dividend of substantially all of its net
investment income on each business day. Such dividends are paid or reinvested
monthly on the payable date. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed
annually.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other 
   Transactions

Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays MMC an
advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.30% of the average daily net
assets. MMC 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. These
fees are calculated daily and paid monthly.

There is a contingent deffered sales charge ("CDSC") of 4.50% on Class B shares,
which applies if redemption occurs less than one year from initial purchase.
This CDSC declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and thereafter
declines by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. For the year ended July
31, 1998, CDSCs paid to Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SSBH,
were approximately:

                                                                        Class B
================================================================================
 CDSCs                                                                 $349,000
================================================================================

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a distribution fee with respect
to Class B and L shares calculated at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average
daily net assets for each class, respectively. For the year ended July 31, 1998,
total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

                                                        Class B         Class L
================================================================================
 Distribution Plan Fees                                $501,508         $42,143
================================================================================

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

4. Capital Loss Carryforward

At July 31, 1998, the Fund had, for Federal income tax purposes, a capital loss
carryforward of approximately $33,900, available to offset future capital gains
through July 31, 1999. To the extent that these carryforward losses are used to
offset capital gains, it is probable that any gains so offset will not be
distributed.

5. Repurchase Agreements

The Fund purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S. government
securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to resell the
securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next business day),
at an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Fund requires continual
maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to
the repurchase price.

6. Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with a
par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund has the ability to issue multiple
classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an identical interest and
has the same rights, except that each class bears certain direct expenses,
including those 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. Because the Fund has sold shares, issued shares as
reinvestments of dividends and redeemed shares only at a constant net asset
value of $1.00 per share, the number of shares represented by such sales,
reinvestments and redemptions is the same as the amounts shown below for such
transactions.

Transactions in shares of beneficial interest of the Fund were as follows:

Independent Auditor's Report
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Smith Barney Income Funds:

      We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of Smith Barney Exchange Reserve Fund of
Smith Barney Income Funds as of July 31, 1998, and 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 the 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 one-year period ended July 31, 1994, were audited by other
auditors whose report thereon, dated September 9, 1994, 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 July
31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 Exchange Reserve Fund of Smith Barney Income Funds as of July 31,
1998, 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 the
financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

      deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 5.00% and 1.00%,
      respectively; and Class B shares reflect the deduction of a 5.00% CDSC,
      which applies if shares are redeemed within one year from purchase.
      Thereafter, the CDSC declines by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred.
      Class L and O shares 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

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

Our strategy is to focus on quality companies that issue convertible securities
that offer attractive total return possibilities and the potential for reduced
risk and volatility. The Fund's portfolio consists primarily of convertible
bonds and convertible preferred stocks. We rarely invest in other asset classes
such as common stocks. Moreover, the Fund should be close to fully invested at
all times unless market conditions warrant otherwise.

Heath B. McLendon             Robert E. Swab

Chairman                      Vice President and
                              Investment Officer

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the annual report for the Smith Barney Convertible
Fund ("Fund") for the year ended July 31, 1998. In this report, we summarize the
period's prevailing economic and market conditions, and outline the Fund's
strategy. Detailed summaries of performance and current holdings can be found in
the appropriate sections that follow.

A Specialty Series Fund

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

Performance Overview

For the year ended July 31, 1998, the Smith Barney Convertible Fund had a total
return of 1.97% for Class A shares without sales charges. This compared with its
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. peer group average of 6.96%.

Convertible securities are unique investments that have the characteristics of
both stocks and bonds, and typically possess lower risk than common stocks, but
still may provide more appreciation potential than bonds. The Smith Barney
Convertible Fund is a well-diversified portfolio that invests primarily in
convertible securities and generally avoids investing in other asset classes
such as common stock.

Economic and Market Overview

This past year, the U.S. economy continued to grow, further extending the
business cycle expansion that began in early 1991. The current expansion is now
one of the longest on record. During the past twelve months, the U.S. economy
continued to benefit from high consumer confidence, high employment, low
interest rates (a result of a favorable inflation environment) and increasing
worker productivity. During the reporting period, two important sectors of the
U.S. economy showed exceptional strength: housing and retail. Housing was
particularly strong as lower rates provided many consumers with an opportunity
to refinance their existing mortgages at lower rates or make new purchases.
Retail sales, including auto sales, have increased dramatically this past year
as high employment and the subsequent rise in personal income led to an increase
in both consumer confidence and spending.

During the past year, the U.S. economy grew in excess of 3% on an annual basis.
Until recently, many investment professionals believed that the Federal Reserve
Bank ("Fed") would have to raise interest rates in an effort to slow the rate of
growth in the U.S. economy and to limit inflationary pressures. However, during
the past several months, U.S. economic growth has shown signs of moderating. The
economic difficulties in the Far East, especially Japan, appear to be having a
more pronounced impact on the global economy than previously forecasted. Despite
the fact that many investment professionals believe corporate profits will be
negatively impacted by Asia, we still believe the U.S. economy should be
minimally affected by the events in Asia. In fact, the problems in Asia could
moderate U.S. economic growth enough that the Fed would not have to alter its
current neutral monetary policy.

The financial markets performed well this past year as both the stock and bond
markets registered positive returns. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P
500"), a capitalization-weighted measure of 500 widely held common stocks, was
by far the best-performing major index the past twelve months, rising about
17.4% (excluding dividends). On the other hand, the Russell 2000 Index, an index
consisting of smaller-capitalization companies, eked out only a small gain of
1.3% during the same period. Investors concerned over the events in Asia
gravitated to large-capitalization, blue-chip companies that have a history of
growing earnings consistently. These large-capitalization companies were also
the focus of many stock fund managers who continued to see large inflows of
money into their funds from retirement plans and 401(k) plans.

The bond market performed well again this past year as interest rates went lower
in response to low inflation and the "flight to quality" mentality that has
developed due primarily to events in Asia. In addition, the U.S. government's
projection of a budget surplus for 1998 is having a favorable impact on the bond
market. For example, during the past twelve months, through July 31, 1998, the
yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond dropped from 6.30% to 5.72%.

Throughout the past year, the convertible securities market's performance was
negatively influenced by the general underperformance of smaller-capitalization
companies. Approximately 60% of the convertible security universe is now made up
of issues that are rated below investment grade (i.e., less than Baa by Moody's
Investors Service Inc. or BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service, two major
credit reporting and bond rating agencies). Lower-rated convertible securities
are typically associated with smaller-capitalization companies, many of which
can be found in the Russell 2000 Index.

As previously noted, the Russell 2000 Index underperformed the S&P 500 by a
large amount this past year. In our view, this is one of the primary reasons the
convertible securities market underperformed when compared with broader
large-capitalization indices such as the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones Industrial
Average. A large valuation disparity exists now between the large-capitalization
companies and small-capitalization companies. We think there's considerable
opportunity now for capital appreciation in the small-capitalization universe.
Why?

Smaller-capitalization companies typically derive a large portion of earnings
from business done within the U.S. Therefore, events overseas should have a
minimal impact on results as long as the U.S. economy continues to grow.
Moreover, the growth rate of earnings for smaller-capitalization companies
generally exceeds the earnings growth rates of larger-capitalization ones.
Therefore, from a relative earnings standpoint, smaller-capitalization companies
look attractive.

Investment Strategy

The Smith Barney Convertible Fund's primary investment objective is to provide
investors with current income and capital appreciation by investing in
convertible securities. Our strategy is to focus on quality companies that issue
convertible securities that offer attractive total return possibilities and the
potential for reduced risk and volatility. The Fund's portfolio consists
primarily of convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks.

We rarely invest in other asset classes, such as common stocks. Moreover, the
Fund should be close to fully invested at all times unless market conditions
warrant otherwise. We believe our investment approach can provide shareholders
with a higher degree of downside protection than most other convertible funds.

The Fund also seeks to reduce volatility and risk by investing in a broad range
of different economic sectors. Over 20 different industries are now represented
in the Fund. Some of the sectors well represented in the Fund include retail,
manufacturing, lodging and select technology issues. We believe these sectors
offer attractive capital appreciation opportunities over the next year. Since

our report in January, the Fund has established positions in:

o     Fleetwood Enterprise, one of the nation's top makers of recreational
      vehicles and manufactured housing.

o     Suiza Foods, a leading producer of milk and related dairy products,
      plastic packaging and packaged ice.

o     Alpharma, a company that makes generic and proprietary pharmaceuticals for
      humans and health products for animals.

o     Interim Services, a provider of temporary personnel to businesses,
      professional and service organizations, and government agencies.

Over the past six months, we added to our positions in:

o     Mascotech, an independent supplier of engine and drivetrain components and
      sub-assemblies for the global transportation industry.

o     Rite-Aid, one of the nation's top three drugstore chains.

o     Mark IV, a maker of engineered components and systems for fluid handling,
      filtration and power steering applications.

During the reporting period, we sold our positions in Airtouch Communications,
Park Electrochemical, NABI Inc., Cellstar and Adaptec due to changes in the
underlying company's fundamentals. We also scaled back in our holdings of
International Paper and Corning Inc. because of these companies' significant
overseas exposure. Our position in Occidental Petroleum was called for
redemption.

The overall universe of convertible securities is still growing as companies
continue to issue convertibles as a way to raise money. As of July 31, 1998, the
convertible securities market is now in excess of $140 billion. Year to date,
more than 70 companies issued convertibles with more than $18 billion dollars in
net proceeds raised. Approximately $9 billion of convertibles were redeemed
during this time due to the strength of the U.S. stock market, as many issues
lost their call protection.

Market Outlook

The U.S. economy should continue to grow over the next year as domestic demand
remains strong because of high consumer confidence and a rise in personal
incomes. We anticipate the U.S. economy should grow in the 2% to 3% range during
the next twelve months and extend the expansion for another year. The problems
in Asia, specifically Japan, are serious. Unless major reforms are implemented
in Japan, this region will be a source of continued uncertainty. Global growth
could be negatively impacted over the next year as long as the difficulties in
Asia persist.

We expect the good news on inflation in the U.S. to be sustained this year as a
result of 1) more inexpensive imports entering our country from currency
devaluations in many emerging markets and 2) global competition. During the past
several years, global competition has forced many companies to keep the price of
their products or services low relative to peers, in fear of losing valuable
market share. In this environment, we believe the Fed will probably keep
short-term interest rates steady for the remainder of 1998. In terms of
corporate profitability, we expect the decline in the growth rate of earnings
witnessed since the beginning of the year to continue over the next several
quarters. The moderating economy (i.e., second quarter 1998 GDP rose only 1.4%)
coupled with emerging market economic pressures should continue to put pressure
on U.S. corporate profits. The growth in corporate earnings could slow to 3% to
4% this year relative to the double-digit growth seen in the past few years.

The stock market has provided investors with returns in excess of 20% annually
the past few years. We believe the fundamentals are still strong enough to
warrant further gains in the stock market. However, we do not expect to see
returns of 20% during the next several years. We anticipate more traditional
returns of 8% to 12% for the stock market. As

previously noted, we remain positive on smaller-capitalization companies because
they typically derive a large portion of earnings from inside the U.S. From a
relative earnings standpoint, we like the prospects of select
smaller-capitalization companies.

Lastly, we believe interest rates should stay relatively stable over the next
year and should provide some support for the stock market. The Smith Barney
Convertible Fund should provide competitive, risk-adjusted returns in this type
of environment.

In closing, thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney Convertible Fund.
We look forward to helping you pursue your financial goals.

      declines by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L and O shares
      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, O and Y shares are November 6, 1992,
      September 9, 1986, June 15, 1998, November 7, 1994 and February 7, 1996,
      respectively.

+     Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the
      total return for the year.

+     Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares on July
      31, 1988, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at
      net asset value through July 31, 1998. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index is
      composed of widely-held common stocks listed on the New York Stock
      Exchange, American Stock Exchange and the over-the-counter market. Figures
      for the index include reinvestment of dividends. The Lipper Convertible
      Securities Fund Peer Group Average is composed of the Fund's peer group of
      19 mutual funds, as of July 31, 1998, investing in convertible securities.
      The index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and
      trading expenses as a mutual fund. The performance of the Fund's other
      classes may be greater or less than the Class B 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)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Standard & Poor's -- Ratings from "AA" to "B" 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 issue 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 bonds in this category than in higher
       rated categories.

BB  -- Bonds rated "BB" and "B" are regarded, on balance, as predominantly
and B  speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and
       repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. "BB"
       indicates the lowest degree of speculation and "B" the highest degree of
       speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality and
       protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties
       or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

Moody's -- Numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 may be applied to each generic rating
from "Aa" to "B", 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 such issues.

Aa  -- Bonds rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
       Together with the "Aaa" group they comprise what are generally known as
       high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because
       margins of protection may not be as large as in "Aaa" securities or
       fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there
       may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear
       somewhat larger than in "Aaa" securities.

A   -- Bonds rated "A" possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
       be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security
       to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be
       present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the
       future.

Baa -- Bonds rated "Baa" are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they
       are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments 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.

Ba  -- Bonds rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative elements; their future
       cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest
       and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well
       safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty
       of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B   -- Bonds rated "B" generally lack characteristics of desirable investments.
       Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other
       terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

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

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Smith Barney Convertible Fund ("Fund"), a separate investment fund of Smith
Barney Income Funds ("Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open=end
management investment company. The Trust consists of the Fund and seven other
separate investment funds: Smith Barney Exchange Reserve Fund, Smith Barney
Premium Total Return Fund, Smith Barney High Income Fund, Smith Barney Municipal
High Income Fund, Smith Barney Diversified Strategic Income Fund, Smith Barney
Balanced Fund (formerly known as Smith Barney Utilities Fund) and Smith Barney
Total Return Bond Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights for
the other funds are presented in separate annual reports.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are: (a)
security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities traded on
national securities markets are valued at the closing price on such markets;
securities for which no sales price were reported are valued at bid price, or in
the absence of a recent bid price, at the bid equivalent obtained from one or
more of the major market makers; (c) securities maturing within 60 days are
valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which
approximates value; (d) dividend income is recorded on ex=dividend date and
interest income, adjusted for accretion of original discount, is recorded on an
accrual basis; (e) gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated
using the specific identification method; (f) dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex=dividend date; (g) direct expenses are
charged to each class; management fees and general fund expenses are allocated
on the basis of relative net assets; (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 July 31, 1998, reclassifications
were made to undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized
gains to reflect book/tax differences and income and gains available for
distributions under income tax regulations. Accordingly, for a portion of net
investment income amounting to $108,166 was reclassified to paid=in capital. Net
investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this
change; and (j) estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding
assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when
financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment,
financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates
could cause actual results to differ.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other
   Transactions

Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays MMC an
advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net
assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

MMC also acts as the Trust's administrator for which the Fund pays a fee
calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets. This fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly.

Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares and primary broker for its portfolio agency transactions. For the
year ended July 31, 1998, SB received no brokerage commissions.

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

On June 12, 1998, the Fund's existing Class C shares were renamed Class O
shares. In addition, on June 15, 1998, transactions in Class L shares, which are
being sold at net asset value plus a maximum initial sales charge of 1.00%,
commenced. For the year ended July 31, 1998, SB received sales charges of
approximately $19,000 and $2,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A and L shares,
respectively.

There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 5.00% on Class B shares,
which applies if redemption occurs within one year from initial purchase and
declines thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L and O
shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the first
year of purchase. For the year ended July 31, 1998, CDSCs paid to SB were
approximately $50,000 for Class B shares.

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to
Class A, B, L and O shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets of each respective class. The Fund also pays a distribution fee
with respect to Class B, L and O shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.50%,
0.75% and 0.45% of the average daily net assets of each class, respectively. For

4. Repurchase Agreements

The Fund purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S. government
securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to resell the
securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next business day),
at an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Fund requires continual
maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to
the repurchase price.

5. Options Contracts

Premiums paid when put or call options are purchased by the Fund represent
investments, which are marked-to-market daily and are included in the schedule
of investments. When a purchased option expires, the Fund will realize a loss in
the amount of the premium paid. When the Fund enters into a closing sales
transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the
proceeds from the closing sales transaction are greater or less than the premium
paid for the option. When the Fund exercises a put option, it will realize a
gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such
sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. When the Fund exer-

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

cises a call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon
exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.

At July 31, 1998, the Fund had no open purchased put or call options contracts.

When a Fund writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium
received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is
marked-to-market daily. When a written option expires, the Fund realizes a gain
equal to the amount of the premium received. When the Fund enters into a closing
purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the closing purchase
transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without
regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the
liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option is
exercised, the cost of the security sold will be decreased by the premium
originally received. When a put option is exercised, the amount of the premium
originally received will reduce the cost of the security which the Fund
purchased upon exercise. When written index options are exercised, settlement is
made in cash.

The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally
paid. The Fund enters into options for hedging purposes. The risk in writing a
covered call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity to participate in
any increase in the price of the underlying security beyond the exercise price.
The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund is exposed to the risk of a
loss if the market price of the underlying security declines.

During the year ended July 31, 1998, the Fund did not write any options.

6. Lending of Portfolio Securities

The Fund has an agreement with its custodian whereby the custodian may lend
securities owned by the Fund to brokers, dealers and other financial
organizations, and receives a lenders fee. Fees earned by the Fund on securities
lending are recorded in interest income. Loans of securities by the Fund are
collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or high quality money market
instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the
current market value of the securities loaned, plus a margin which may vary
depending on the type of securities loaned. The custodian establishes and
maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Fund maintains exposure
for the risk of any losses in the investment of amounts received as collateral.

At July 31, 1998, the Fund loaned common stocks having a value of $8,502,941 and
holds the following collateral for loaned securities:

7. Shares of Beneficial Interest

At July 31, 1998, the Trust had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund has the
ability to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain
direct expenses, including those specifically related to the distribution of its
shares. Effective June 12, 1998, the existing Class C shares were renamed Class
O shares.

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

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Smith Barney Income Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of Smith Barney Convertible Fund of Smith Barney
Income Funds as of July 31, 1998, and 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 the 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 July 31, 1994, were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated
September 19, 1994, 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 July
31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian. As to securities sold but not
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 Convertible Fund of Smith Barney Income Funds as of July 31, 1998, 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 the financial
highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
