HEATH B. MCLENDON                PHYLLIS M. ZAHORODNY

Chairman                         Vice President and
                                 Investment Officer

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney Exchange
Reserve Fund ("Fund") for the period ended January 31, 1999. 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.

Please note that your investment in the Smith Barney Exchange Reserve Fund is
neither insured, nor guaranteed, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of
your investment at $l.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in
the Fund.

As of January 31, 1999, the Fund's average annual yield was 4.22% and the
average annual effective yield, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends, was
4.30%.

Market Update and Outlook

The effects of the global events in Russia, Japan and Asia have finally reached
the U.S. Many U.S. financial institutions have suffered losses due to their
exposure to Russia and a widening spread on debt instruments from emerging
markets. In fact, the widening spread of debt instruments has even occurred
among "AA"-rated banks and brokerage firms as their future earnings continue to
be questioned. Moreover, the near default of a major hedge fund caused spreads
to widen even further as it began to liquidate its portfolio.

Instability in the capital markets and the downturn in the U.S. stock market
prompted the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") to take three pre-emptive moves
lowering the federal-funds rate from 5.50% to 4.75%. (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.) In our view, this 75-basis point ease in the Fed's monetary policy has
enabled the financial markets to function once again in an orderly, yet still
cautious fashion. A full-blown credit crunch and recession probably has been
avoided due to decisive Fed action.

The U.S. economy, which was projected by many economists to slow, has remained
robust. Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") for the fourth quarter of 1998 was
reported at 5.6%. Several factors such as low interest rates, a healthy housing
market, strong consumer spending, recent lows in oil prices, a rebound in stock
prices, great strides in research and technology and a bottoming out in Asia
have all helped support domestic economic growth. In our view, the current
negatives weighing on the U.S. economy are the weakness in U.S. manufacturing
and Brazil's poor fiscal and monetary state. The Fed will probably opt to keep
monetary policy unchanged over the next several months and then possibly raise
interest rates toward the latter part of 1999 if GDP, money supply and commodity
prices rise too fast.

Investment Update

During the reporting period, the Fund grew over 49% in asset size and the Fund's
investment parameters remained conservative. We are committed to our belief that
managing for interest rates and buying value on the yield curve can be more
successful over the long term than purchasing securities with higher risks. (The
yield curve shows the difference in yields between short-term and long-term
fixed-income securities.)

The Fund remains well diversified with 38 different issuers and the largest
exposure in any one issuer is 3.7%. As of January 31, 1999, Fund assets were
invested 50% in corporate commercial paper and 50% in bank obligations. The
average maturity for the Fund has ranged from 20 to 44 days throughout the
reporting period. At the end of the Fund's fiscal year end, the average maturity
was 22 days.

In closing, thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Exchange Reserve Fund.
We encourage you to visit our Web site at www.smithbarney.com. We look forward
to continuing to help you pursue your financial goals in the years ahead.

Sincerely,


/s/ Heath B. McLendon        /s/ Phyllis M. Zahorodny

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 and Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund. The
financial statements and financial highlights for the other Funds are presented
in separate semi-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

SSBC Fund Management Inc. ("SSBC"), formerly known as Mutual Management Corp., a
subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment
adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays SSBC an advisory fee calculated at an annual
rate of 0.30% of the average daily net assets. SSBC also acts as the Fund's
administrator for which the Fund pays a fee calculated at an annual rate of
0.20% of the average daily net assets. These fees are calculated daily and paid
monthly.

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

There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 4.50% on Class B shares,
which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase. This CDSC
declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and thereafter declines by 1.00%
per year until no CDSC is incurred. For the six months ended January 31, 1999,
CDSCs paid to SSB 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 six months ended January
31, 1999, total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

                                                              Class B    Class L
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees                                       $317,236    $40,887
================================================================================

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

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. 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:

                                             Six Months Ended       Year Ended

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

The primary objective of the Convertible Fund has not changed during the
reporting period. We seek to provide investors with current income and capital
appreciation by investing in convertible securities. Our strategy is to combine
fundamentally strong companies with attractively priced convertible securities.
We continue to focus on high-quality convertible issues that offer attractive
total return opportunities with the potential for lower volatility and less
risk.

HEATH B. MCLENDON                   ROBERT E. SWAB

Chairman                            Vice President and
                                    Investment Officer
              
Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney
Convertible Fund ("Fund") for the period ended January 31, 1999. 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. We hope you find this report
to be useful and informative.

A Special Discipline Series Fund

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

Performance and Strategy Overview

For the six months period ended January 31, 1999, the Smith Barney Convertible
Fund returned a negative 2.90% for its Class A shares without sales charges.
This compared with its Lipper Inc. convertible securities peer group average of
3.09% over the same period. (Lipper is a major fund - tracking organization.)

The Fund underperformed its Lipper peer group average for several reasons. The
Convertible Fund is a well diversified portfolio that invests primarily in
convertible securities and avoids investing in other asset classes such as
common stock. During the past six months, common stocks rose in excess of
roughly 14% as measured by the S&P 500 Index, a capitalization-weighted measure
of 500 widely held common stocks. Many of the funds within the Lipper
convertible fund category invest in common stocks and have directly benefited
from the stock market's recent strength. We believe our conservative investment
approach tends to offer more downside protection and reduced volatility compared
to many convertible funds that invest in stocks. However, in rising markets, the
Fund may underperform.

Moreover, the Fund's relative performance also suffered due to some of our
holdings in the energy and real estate sectors. Although we believe the
long-term fundamentals of the companies in these two sectors remain favorable,
over the past six months both sectors were, for the most part, shunned by the
investment community.

Economic and Market Overview

At the risk of stating the obvious, the past six months have truly been a
remarkable period for the U.S. economy and world financial markets. Since our
last report, economic growth in the U.S. has been surprisingly strong, further
extending the business cycle expansion that began in 1991. In addition,
inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), remained relatively
stable in the 11 1/42 -2% range. Inflation has rarely been this low this late in
the business cycle. During the reporting period, stocks benefited from a growing
U.S. economy, continued growth in corporate earnings and most importantly, lower
interest rates. Subsequently, the bond market performed well as interest rates
drifted lower in response to the continued good news on inflation. During the
past six months, the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond dropped from 5.72%
to 5.09%.

                                                                               1

These statistics suggest that all was well for the financial markets during the
reporting period. However, several global events this past summer heightened
investor uncertainty and led to more volatility in both the U.S. and world
financial markets. In fact there was a period between August and early October
of last year that investors became extremely nervous and day-to-day market
volatility was considerable.

Following a relatively uneventful first half of 1998 (a period where the economy
and financial markets behaved well) several events during the summer helped
shift investor psychology dramatically to the negative. Heightened concerns
regarding the emerging markets, Japan's anemic economy, Russia's default, the
Clinton impeachment, major hedge fund liquidations and a Federal Reserve Board
("Fed") hands-off monetary policy helped to contribute to a significant sell-off
in the world stock markets between July and early October of 1998. The Dow Jones
Industiral Average actually was down about 13% from July 31, 1998 through
October 8, 1998, the day Fed took decisive action. Many investment professionals
were worried that a global credit crunch could materialize once Russia defaulted
on its debt. (A credit crunch is generally defined as when banks tighten their
lending standards.)

The Fed, sensing a quasi-state of investor panic following the huge decline in
global stock markets, provided much needed liquidity to the financial system
through three interest-rate cuts. This change in its monetary policy, coupled
with some aggressive fiscal policy changes in Japan and other troubled emerging
market countries, helped to stabilize the global markets and ease investor
concerns. We believe the Fed will continue to be the "lender of last resort" if
pressures on the world financial system re-emerge. By this we mean the Fed
should continue to provide liquidity by lowering interest rates further in order
to keep the global financial system stable.

The widening of credit spreads (i.e., the difference in interest rate levels)
between corporate debt securities and U.S. Government Treasuries following the
Russian debt default had a negative impact on the convertible securities market.
(Convertible securities are essentially corporate debt securities that have an
equity conversion feature.) Most fixed income securities not backed by the U.S.
government sold off sharply prior to the Fed's action in early October.
Investors were convinced a credit crunch was inevitable. However the lowering of
interest rates by the Fed helped to narrow the interest rate spread between
corporate and U.S. government securities. As long as the U.S. economy continues
to grow and progress is made on solving some of the problems in emerging market
economies, "spreads" should continue to contract. This would bode well for the
convertible securites market and the Fund going forward.

Portfolio Transactions

The primary objective of the Convertible Fund has not changed during the
reporting period. We seek to provide investors with current income and capital
appreciation by investing in convertible securities. Our strategy is to combine
fundamentally strong companies with attractively priced convertible securities.
We continue to focus on high-quality convertible issues that offer attractive
total return opportunities with the potential for lower volatility and less
risk.

As previously noted, we rarely invest in other asset classes. We believe
investing in other asset classes such as common stocks would increase the Fund's
risk and volatility. In additon, we usually do not invest in securities that are
not rated by at least one of the major credit reporting and bond rating agencies
such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Ratings Service.

We further attempt to reduce volatility and risk through broad diversification.
Over 20 different industries are now represented in the Convertifble Fund. Some
of the more heavily weighted sectors include health care, retail and
manufacturing. Although no guarantees can be made, we believe these sectors have
outstanding long-term capital apprecication potential. Since our last report,
the Fund established new positions in:

o     AES Corp., the world's largest global power company.

o     Cable and Wireless Communications PLC, an integrated telecom mu ni ca
      tions company operating throughout the United Kingdom.

o     Mail-Well, Inc., a manufacturer and printer of en velopes and high-impact
      color materials.

We also added to previously established positions in ...

o     Elan, a company that develops delivery systems de signed to control the
      absorption and utilization of pharmaceutical compounds

o     U.S. Filter, one of the world's leading producers of water treatment and
      recycling equipment.

o     Waste Management, a company that provides waste managaement and services
      domestically and in selected international markets.

During the past six months, we sold our positions in Parker Drilling, Phycor,
Men's Wearhouse Inc., Saks Holdings Inc., and Central Parking because the
convertible pricing characteristics had changed for these issues.

Over the past few months, the number of companies issuing new convertble
securities has declined relative to the past few years. We believe this trend
will change over the next year as corporate interest rate spreads relative to
Treasuries go back toward more historical levels. We think that the new issue
market offers attractive opportunities.

Market Outlook

We believe the U.S. economy should continue to grow at a moderate pace in 1999
with Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") increasing 2% to 3%. This will be the eighth
consecutive year the economy has expanded. Interest rates should remain
relatively stable as inflation expectations remain low and world economic growth
continues to moderate. However, a more meaningful slowdown in economic growth
later this year coupled with export restraints brought on by global economic
problems could impact U.S. corporate profit growth. Corporate earnings growth
rates have already declined over the past year.

During the last four years, the stock market has provided investors with returns
in excess of 20% annually. The fundamentals are still strong enough to support
further gains; however, the decline in the growth rate of corporate earnings
recently suggests that it may be difficult to match those returns generated by
the market in the period 1995 through 1998. We think investors should anticipate
more historical returns of 10% to 12% for the stock market over the next several
years.

We also believe small- and mid-capitalization companies should finally begin to
show stronger relative performance compared to large-capitalization companies.
For four years, the large-capitalizaion companies seem to have been the only
game in town. However, valuation levels are now quite high for many of these
large multi-national companies. We think small- and mid-capitalization companies
may finally play catch up. This should benefit the convertible securies market
as the majority of companies that issue convertible securities are typically
smaller- and mid-sized companies. If our expectations come true, the Convertible
Fund should provide attractive, competitive, risk-adjusted returns for
shareholders in the years ahead.

Thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney Convertible Fund. We encourage

to help you pursue your financial goals.

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

(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 sales charge 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, this 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.

*     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,

+     Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares on January
      31, 1989, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at
      net asset value through January 31, 1999. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index
      is composed of widely held common stocks listed on the New York Stock Ex
      change, American Stock Exchange and the over-the-counter market. Figures
      for the index include reinvestment of dividends. The Lipper Con vertible
      Securities Fund Peer Group Average is composed of the Fund's peer group of
      59 mutual funds, as of January 31, 1999, investing in convertible
      securities. The index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same
      management and trading expenses as a mutual fund. The per formance 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)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("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 issues only in 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  -- 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 Investors Service, Inc. ("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 to be 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 safe
       guarded 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.

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 Ex change 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 and Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund. The financial statements
and financial highlights for the other funds are presented in separate
semi-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 re corded 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
share holders 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, 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

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

SSBC 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.

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

public as members of the selling group. For the six months ended January 31,
1999, SSB received no brokerage commissions.

For the six months ended January 31, 1999, SSB received sales charges of
approximately $13,000 and $1,000 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 six months ended January 31, 1999, CDSCs paid to SSB
were approximately $15,000 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
the six months ended January 31, 1999, total Distribution Plan fees incurred
were:

                                                                    Distribution
                                                                      Plan Fees

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

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

3. Investments

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

================================================================================
Purchases                                                            $29,953,524
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales                                                                 16,647,857
================================================================================

At January 31, 1999, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of
investments for Federal in come tax purposes were substantially as follows:

===============================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                      $ 10,508,805
Gross unrealized depreciation                                       (14,716,920)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized depreciation                                        $ (4,208,115)
===============================================================================

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 de pending on whether the
proceeds from the closing sales transaction are greater or less than the premium
paid for the option. When the Fund exer-


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

<PAGE>

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

cises 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 January 31, 1999, 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 six months ended January 31, 1999, 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 in come. 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 January 31, 1999, the Fund loaned common stocks having a value of $2,982,063
and holds the following collateral for loaned securities:

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

7. Shares of Beneficial Interest

At January 31, 1999, 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.

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

Our two main areas for investment during the reporting period have been
high-grade corporate bonds and taxable municipal bonds. Together, they represent
approximately 85% of Fund assets (with smaller investments in generic mortgage
bonds and several "AAA-rated" asset backed securities). We think that this is a
blend that should provide a solid income stream with a little less market
volatility than if we had owned straight long-term U.S. government securities.

HEATH B. MCLENDON                      JOSEPH P. DEANE

Chairman                               Vice President and
                                       Investment Officer

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney Total
Return Bond Fund ("Fund"). In this report, we discuss general bond market
conditions and briefly review our investment strategy during the reporting
period. A more detailed summary of performance and current holdings can be found
in the appropriate sections that follow. We hope you find this report
informative and useful.

A Classic Investor Series Fund

The Total Return Bond Fund is part of the Classic Investor Series Funds of Smith
Barney Mutual Funds. The Classic Investor 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 Investor Series invest across asset classes and sectors, utilizing a
range of strategies in order to achieve their objectives.

Performance Overview

For the period ended January 31, 1999, the Fund had a total return of 4.26% for
its Class A shares without sales charges. The Fund significantly outperformed
the average total return of 3.53% for general bond funds during the same period
according to Lipper Inc. (Lipper is a major fund-tracking organization.)

Investment Strategy

Our aim is to provide our shareholders with high total return potential by
investing primarily in taxable U.S. bonds. Our investment process involves:

1.    Reflecting on key market factors such as:

      -- U.S. economic indicators

      -- Inflation

      -- Federal Reserve Board policy

      -- The relative strength of the U.S. dollar

2.    Projecting the direction of interest rates as a foundation for structuring
      the Fund's portfolio's average maturity. (Average maturity is a
      dollar-weighted average maturity of bonds contained in the portfolio.)

3.    Selecting bonds likely to either experience significant price appreciation
      when interest rates fall or sustain less-than-average price depreciation
      when interest rates rise.

As of January 31, 1999, 100% of the Fund's holdings were rated investment-grade
(BBB/Baa and higher) by either Standard & Poor's Ratings Service or Moody's
Investors Service Inc., with about 56% of the Fund invested in AAA/Aaa-rated
bonds, the highest possible rating. (Standard & Poor's and Moody's are two major
credit-reporting and bond-rating agencies). The Smith Barney Total Return Bond
Fund's largest holdings were concentrated in corporate bonds (41%), taxable
municipal bonds (35%) and U.S. government bonds (15%).

Market Overview

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

strengthening versus the yen and new euro, making U.S. based fixed assets more
attractive to foreign investors. (The euro is the new, single currency of eleven
European Union countries that began on January 1, 1999).

Our two main areas for investment during the reporting period have been
high-grade corporate bonds and taxable municipal bonds. Together, they represent
approximately 76% of the Fund assets with smaller investments in generic
mortgage bonds and several "AAA-rated" asset backed securities. We think that
this is a blend that should provide a solid income stream with a little less
market volatility than if we had owned straight long-term U.S. government
securities.

Market Outlook

As we have noted, the fundamentals continue to be positive for the bond markets:
low inflation and a benign Fed monetary policy. We think these positive
conditions will be with us for the next three to six months. As you get closer
to a presidential election year, the economy may pick-up (and it usually does
historically). At that point we may take a more conservative stance than we
pursue at the moment. We believe that the economy should be our guide, because
it will be the key factor affecting future Fed monetary policy.

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

Sincerely,


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BBB   -- Bonds rated "BBB" are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
         interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate
         protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
         circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
         interest and repay principal for 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 or exposure to adverse business, financial, or
         economic conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet
         timely interest and principal payments.

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

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

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

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Smith Barney Total Return Bond 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 Diversified
Strategic Income Fund, 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 and Smith Barney Balanced
Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights for the other funds are
presented in separate semi-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 for which market quotations are
not available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or under the
direction of the Board of Trustees; (d) 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; (e) securities maturing within 60 days are
valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which
approximates value; (f) dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date and
interest income is recorded on an accrual basis; (g) gains or losses on the sale
of securities are calculated by using the specific identification method; (h)
dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date; (i) direct expenses are charged to each class; management fees and general
portfolio expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets; (j) 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, for a
portion of net investment loss amounting to $54,782 was reclassified to paid-in
capital. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not
affected by this change; (k) 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 (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.

2. Investment Management Agreement and Other Transactions

SSBC Fund Management Inc. ("SSBC"), formerly known as Mutual Management Corp., a
subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment
manager to the Trust. The Fund pays SSBC a management fee calculated at an
annual rate of 0.65% of the average daily net assets. This fee is calculated
daily and paid monthly. As of January 31, 1999, a portion of the management fee
amounting to $85,635 was waived.

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

There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund                                           13

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

4.50% on Class B shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from
purchase. This CDSC declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and
thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L shares also have
a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the first year of
purchase. In 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 six months ended January 31, 1999, SSB received sales charges of
approximately $177,000 and $79,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A and Class L
shares, respectively. In addition, CDSCs paid to SSB were approximately:

                                      Class A          Class B           Class L
================================================================================
CDSCs                               $  6,000          $105,000          $ 10,000
================================================================================

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to
Class A, B and L shares calculated at an 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 an annual rate of 0.50%
and 0.45% of the average daily net assets for each class, respectively. For the
six months ended January 31, 1999, total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

                                           Class A       Class B         Class L
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees                    $ 76,719       $352,104       $ 88,108
================================================================================

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

3. Investments

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

================================================================================
Purchases                                                            $53,340,946
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales                                                                 13,779,713
================================================================================

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

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                       $ 5,693,909
Gross unrealized depreciation                                        (1,982,392)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation                                         $ 3,711,517
================================================================================

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. 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
finan-

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

cial instruments and securities indices (futures contracts).

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

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 January 31, 1999, the Fund had no securities on loan.

7. Reverse Repurchase Agreements

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.

At January 31, 1999, the Fund had no open reverse repurchase agreements.

8. When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund may purchase or sell securities offered on a when-issued or
delayed-delivery basis. In such transactions, delivery of the securities occurs
beyond the normal settlement period but no payment or delivery is made by the
Fund prior to the actual delivery or payment by the other party to the
transaction. Due to fluctuations in the value of the securities purchased or
sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the yields obtained on such
securities may be higher or lower than the yields available in the market on the
dates when the investments are actually delivered to the buyers. The Fund will
establish a segregated account with the Fund's custodian consisting of cash,
U.S. government securities, debt securities of any grade or equity securities
having a value equal to or greater than the Fund's purchase commitments.

At January 31, 1999, the Fund had no when-issued securities and had not entered
into any delayed delivery transactions.

9. Shares of Beneficial Interest

At January 31, 1999, 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.

HEATH B. MCLENDON             PETER M. COFFEE

Chairman                      Vice President 

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney Municipal
High Income Fund ("Fund") for the period ended January 31, 1999. Please note
that on February 2, 1999, Peter Coffey assumed management responsibilities for
the Fund. Mr. Coffey has over 30 years of investment experience and currently
manages the Smith Barney Muni Funds - National Portfolio among many others.

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.

Performance Update

For the six months ended January 31, 1999, the Fund's Class A shares posted a
total return of 3.28%, excluding sales charges, slightly lagging its Lipper,
Inc. peer group average of 4.00% for the same period. (Lipper is an independent
fund-tracking organization.) Based on its Class A share net asset value of
$17.64 and current dividend rate of $0.075 per share as of January 31, 1999, the
Fund provided shareholders with a tax-free yield of 5.10%. To match this yield,
investors in the 36% federal tax bracket would have to earn 7.97% on a taxable
bond alternative.

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

The municipal bond market remained quite stable in the past six months while
many other financial markets experienced significant volatility. The sudden
collapse of Russia's economy and the near-failure of a prominent leveraged hedge
fund last summer heightened credit-quality concerns for many investors.
Moreover, Brazil, a major Latin American economy, appeared to be facing a
currency crisis of its own, which added to the uncertainty and volatility in
financial markets. These doubts led investors to shun most corporate bonds,
particularly high-yield bonds, in favor of U.S. Treasury bonds, considered to be
the global benchmark for credit quality.

The surging demand for U.S. Treasury bonds caused their yields, which move in
the opposite direction of its price, to plummet while municipal bond yields
remained largely unchanged. As a result, the spread between municipal bond
yields and U.S. Treasury bond yields narrowed. During the reporting period,
long-term municipal bonds yielded as much as 100% of long-term U.S. Treasury
bonds. Under typical market conditions, municipal bonds yield roughly 85% of
similar-maturity U.S. Treasury bonds.

Faced with a potential credit crunch and the possibility that financial
instability could trigger an U.S. recession, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed")
lowered its federal-funds target rate from 5.50% to 4.75% over the course of
several weeks. (The federal-funds rate is the rate banks charge each other for


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

overnight loans and an indication of the future direction of interest rates.)
This action helped to calm jittery investors and provided more liquidity in the
banking system. The Fed's efforts may have also helped the U.S. economy maintain
its momentum. Despite recessionary trends abroad, the domestic unemployment rate
declined from 4.7% to 4.4% in 1998 and consumer demand remained robust.

A buoyant U.S. economy also contributed to the massive issuance of municipal
bonds in 1998, totaling some $284 billion--the second highest issuance volume in
history. The ability of the municipal bond market to absorb such a heavy
issuance is an indication of steady demand for tax-exempt investments, unlike
the radical shift in investor sentiment experienced by their taxable
counterparts during the reporting period.

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. (Standard &
Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service Inc. are two major credit
reporting and bond-rating agencies.) As of January 31, 1999, 73.4% of the Fund's
holdings were rated investment grade or better.

The Fund's largest holdings were concentrated in transportation bonds (16.8%),
hospital bonds (14.9%) and utilities bonds (11.5%). As long-term interest rates
rebound from their historical lows, the yield differential between stronger and
weaker credits has widened. We believe this development may provide additional
opportunities for the Fund. Although some hospitals have come under pressure
recently, we have continued to emphasize this market segment on a selective
basis because of the additional income these bonds offer.

Municipal Bond Market Outlook

Looking ahead, we believe that the U.S. economy should remain strong in the
coming months with muted inflationary pressures. Despite the surprising
resilience in many areas of the economy, we believe that ongoing financial
weakness abroad should help dampen overall price increases.

In recent weeks, long-term interest rates have spiked upward, partly in response
to unexpected strength in the U.S. economy. However, we believe that after
aggressively cutting short-term rates last fall, the Fed will likely adopt a
wait-and-see approach before adjusting interest rates again. Moreover, we
believe that a slight rise in interest rates could create buying opportunities
for the Fund. In our view, these conditions should provide a supportive backdrop
for municipal bonds over the medium term.

In closing, we thank you for your investment in the Municipal High Income Fund
Inc. We encourage you to visit our Web site at www.smithbarney.com. We look
forward to continuing to help you pursue your financial goals in the years to
come.

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 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

Smith Barney Municipal High Income Fund

Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index

+     Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares on January
      31, 1989, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at
      net asset value through January 31, 1999. 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 (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Standard & Poor's Rating Service ("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 Investors Service Inc. ("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 (unaudited) (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 Investors Services, Inc. ("Fitch") -- Rating may be modified by the
addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign 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 (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

VMIG 1         -- Moody's highest rating for issues having 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 and Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund. The
financial statements and financial highlights for the other funds are presented
in separate semi-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 for which market quotations are
not available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or under the
direction of the Board of Trustees; (d) securities maturing within 60 days are
valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which
approximates value; (e) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium
and 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) 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) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on
the ex-dividend date; (i) 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; (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; and (k) 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 allow 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

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

SSBC also acts as the Fund's administrator for which the Fund pays a fee
calculated at an annual rate of

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

0.20% of the average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid
monthly.

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

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 and
thereafter declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and by 1.00% per year
until no CDSC is incurred. Class L shares also have a 1.00% charge CDSC, which
applies if redemption occurs within the first year of purchase.

For the six months ended January 31, 1999, SSB received sales charges of $52,000
and $12,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A and Class L shares, respectively. In
addition, CDSCs paid to SSB were approximately $57,000 and $1,000 for Class B
and Class L shares, respectively.

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 six
months ended January 31, 1999, total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

                               Class A              Class B             Class L

Distribution Plan Fees        $209,273            $1,461,980             $8,363
===============================================================================

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

At January 31, 1999, 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

direct expenses, including those specifically related to the distribution of its
shares.

At January 31, 1999, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each
class:

                                 Class A            Class B            Class L

      sales charges with respect to Class A and L shares or the applicable
      contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") with respect to Class B and L
      shares.

(2)   Assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, if
      any, at net asset value. In addition, Class A and L shares reflect the
      deduction of the maximum sales charge of 4.50% 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 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. Class L shares also reflect the
      deduction of a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed within the
      first year of purchase. All figures represent past performance and are not
      a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will
      fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than the original
      cost.

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

++    Inception dates for Class A, B and L shares are November 6, 1992, December

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

Our main emphasis during the reporting period was to reduce our exposure to
foreign securities. While our security selection continues to focus on the
European financial markets and not the countries so prevalent in the media, we
believe that the U.S. markets should provide a better safe haven. The unforeseen
spread widening experienced in mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds
from October creates what we believe are tremendous opportunities.

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for Smith Barney Diversified
Strategic Income Fund ("Fund") for the period ended January 31, 1999. 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. We follow a
flexible investment approach that emphasizes both diversification and balance.
Based on our analysis of current economic and market conditions, we allocate
assets across three classes of bonds: U.S. government and mortgage securities,
high-yield corporate bonds and foreign government securities.

A Classic Investor Series Fund

The Diversified Strategic Income Fund is part of the Classic Investor Series of
Smith Barney Mutual Funds. The Classic Investor 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 Investor Series invest across asset classes and sectors,
utilizing a range of strategies in order to achieve their objectives.

Performance Update

For the six months ended January 31, 1999, the Fund's Class A, B and L shares
had total returns of 2.72%, 2.48% and 2.49%, without sales charge, and
underperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index return of 5.10% 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.)

As you know, the success of the Fund has been based on our ability to manage the
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").

Our main emphasis during the reporting period was to reduce our exposure to
foreign securities. While our security selection continues to focus on the


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

European financial markets and not the countries so prevalent in the media, we
believe that the U.S. markets should provide a better safe haven. The unforeseen
spread widening experienced in mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds
from October creates what we believe are tremendous opportunities.

As of January 31, 1999, the Fund's allocation was approximately 18% in foreign
government bonds, 29% in corporate securities, 1% in preferred stock, 44% in
U.S. government and mortgage-backed securities and 8% in cash equivalents.
Following are brief summaries of the economic and market conditions that
affected the Fund's three major sectors during the period under review.

U.S. Government and
Mortgage-Backed Securities

The U.S. government securities portion of the Fund continued to emphasize income
by investing in mortgage-backed securities. To the extent that conditions
suggest lower interest rates, we bought intermediate-term U.S. Treasuries during
the reporting period to help boost the Fund's appreciation potential. We intend
to closely monitor mortgage prepayment possibilities if interest rates decline
further.

The key events during the period under review were predominantly mergers and
acquisitions, the ongoing overseas economic crisis and the resiliency of the
U.S. economy and financial markets. The broad range in interest rates and the
associated higher market volatility reflected those conditions. Below are the
levels of rates on July 31, 1998 and February 1, 1999:

                                        2/1/99             7/31/98
                                        ------             -------
3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill               4.509%             5.080%
6-Month U.S. Treasury Bill               4.486              5.187
1 Year U.S. Treasury Bill                4.551              5.351
2 Year U.S. Treasury Note                4.633              5.484
5 Year U.S. Treasury Note                4.628              5.499
10 Year U.S. Treasury Note               4.741              5.494
30 Year U.S. Treasury Bond               5.177              5.714

The historically low level of interest rates in October 1998 was precipitated by
the first Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") interest-rate cut since 1996. While
further cuts ensued, concerns surrounding hedge fund losses took center stage,
prompting spreads between corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities to
widen versus U.S. Treasuries. Compounding the problem was considerable corporate
financing. Corporate debt issuance for 1998 on a net basis was more than the
prior two years combined.

High-Yield Corporate Bonds

The high-yield bond market generated relatively weak results during the third
quarter of 1998, underperforming all other domestic bond market sectors. By the
end of September, the Fed began taking aggressive actions to restore investor
confidence in the financial markets. The Fed began to realize that the financial
markets were beginning to freeze up with overall liquidity disappearing. Many
companies were finding it increasingly more difficult to borrow money through
the fixed income capital markets. Investors had become increasingly reluctant to
invest in new bond issues, especially from high-yield companies. Their fear was
that an economic recession was becoming a more likely possibility given the
increased turmoil in the emerging economies such as Korea, Russia and Indonesia.
Their concern was that a worldwide credit crunch in the financial markets could
throw the U.S. economy into a meaningful recession. By acting swiftly and
lowering short-term interest rates three times, the Fed was able to stabilize
the domestic financial markets and restore investor confidence.

In the fourth quarter, as investors slowly became more comfortable with the
economic outlook and the Fed's resolve to keep the economy out of a recession,
the high-yield bond market stabilized and outperformed the other sectors of the
domestic fixed-income markets. Because of a lingering uncertainty over the
economic outlook, the high-yield market is still trading at undervalued levels.
It is our belief as more

<PAGE>
 
investors become convinced the domestic economy is still fundamentally sound,
the high-yield bond market will continue to stabilize and improve in price with
performance returns exceeding the other sectors of the fixed-income markets.

Foreign Government Securities

Starting with currency devaluations in East Asia, followed shortly by the
500-point fall in the Dow Jones Industrial Average in October 1997, continuing
with the period of complacency in the first half of this year (during which U.S.
stock market rallied roughly 20% and European market even more), through the
massive dislocations in financial markets this summer and fall, the world has
rarely seen such disorder and disarray compressed into such a short time.

The principal effect on bond markets was the dramatic rally in major government
bond prices over the summer, bringing 10-year German yields below 4% and 30-year
U.S. Treasury bond yields below 5%. This rally was in conjunction with and
partly due to, the sell-off in emerging markets over the late spring and early
summer, as well as the drastic widening of credit spreads of all natures over
the same period. Many investors fled to the highest-quality markets and divested
themselves of anything that could be construed as a "yield spread" product over
the safest of government bond markets. (The term "yield spread" used here refers
to those bonds with yields that exceed those of similar maturity U.S. Treasury
bonds.)

We sold all of our Japanese bond holdings during the summer because:

o     Japanese government bonds were then yielding below 1%, and further price
      rises were unlikely to exceed those in other developed world bond markets;
      and

o     With a Japanese weighting of 14% in the J.P. Morgan Global Bond Index,
      such a low yielding asset made it difficult at that time to achieve our
      dividend target.

We reinvested some of our U.S. Treasury bond holdings into Canadian and
Australian government bonds to take advantage of the spread widening in those
markets that took place this summer. Yields on both Canadian and Australian
bonds have widened significantly versus comparable U.S. Treasury securities and
we expect that difference to narrow in the coming months.

During the early part of the reporting period, we benefited from our German bond
holdings that have generally outperformed other non-U.S. government bonds during
the reporting period due to the flight-to-quality that followed the Russian debt
default and the widely publicized troubles of large speculators. In order to
preserve those gains, we sold some of our German bonds and bought some Danish
issues, where we believed good values existed.

Market Outlook

We believe that the dominant issues in 1999 will be the advent of the euro, the
prospects for economic recovery throughout Asia and other less developed
countries, the future sustainability of U.S. economic growth and the ongoing
resiliency of U.S. financial markets. (The euro is the new, single currency of
11 European Union countries that began on January 1, 1999.)

We think that the euro introduces a new variable to macroeconomic analysis that
has not been seen since the demise of the Soviet empire and the advent of true
global competition. Opportunities should abound in the financial markets as
corporate financing expands in creative new ways. However, the implications for
the U.S. dollar as the world's premier currency has now been brought into
question by the euro's introduction.

The economic picture throughout Asia and Russia remains critically unclear.
Rising unemployment, the need to dump finished goods in the face of uncertain
currencies and fiscal policies that are slow to change and less than dramatic,
do not bode well for the financial markets of less developed countries.


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

In our view, the U.S. economy and the financial markets will continue to soul
search as to the prospects for continued good fortune. The positives include
such variables as low unemployment, strong productivity and the dramatic
increase in defined contribution plans (i.e., 401(k) plans) and estate planning
as key market influences. However, historically low savings (the traditional
standard) being redefined as the "wealth effect" as measured by investment
growth remains an ever present shadow that can change with the ups and downs of
the financial markets.

With respect to the Fund's high-yield bonds, we viewed the recent correction in
the market as a buying opportunity and carefully redeployed our excess cash
reserves during this time. However, given the continued problems in Asia, we
remained underweighted in basic commodity industries such as steel, forest
products, energy and petrochemicals, industries that have been negatively
affected by worldwide deflationary trends in recent months. (Deflation is when
prices actually fall. Deflation should not be confused with disinflation, which
is the slowing down of the rate at which prices increase).

The Fund's high-yield bond portion is still 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.

The performance of the Fund's foreign government securities suffered from our
several emerging markets bond holdings, in particular our Russian holdings, over
the summer. Recently, several emerging markets have begun to recover, and have
outperformed developed world bond markets. As a result, we have begun to
cautiously rebuild some of our holdings in this asset class, but only in the
safest, most highly rated bonds of emerging markets.

In closing, thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Diversified Strategic
Income Fund. We encourage you to visit our web site at www.smithbarney.com and
we look forward to continuing to help you pursue your financial goals in the
coming years.

Sincerely,

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

(2)   Assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, if
      any, at net asset value. In addition, Class A and L shares reflect the
      deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 4.50% and 1.00%,
      respectively; and Class B shares reflect the deduction of a 4.50% CDSC,
      which applies if shares are redeemed within one year from purchase. This
      CDSC declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and thereafter by
      1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L shares also reflect the
      deduction of a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed within the
      first year of purchase.

*     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 January 31, 1999. 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)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("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", "CC" and "C" are regarded, on   
CC and C          balance, as 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 Investors Service, Inc. ("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. Smith Barney Diversified Strategic Income Fund

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 and Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund. The
financial statements and financial highlights for the other funds are presented
in separate semi-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

SSBC Fund Management Inc. ("SSBC") formerly known as Mutual Management Corp., a
subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment
adviser to the Trust. The Fund pays SSBC 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,
SSBC 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.

SSBC 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.

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

For the six months ended January 31, 1999, SSB received sales charges of
approximately $567,000 and $533,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A and L shares,
respectively.

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. Class L shares have a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"),
which applies if redemption occurs within the first year of purchase. 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.

In addition, CDSCs paid to SSB for the six months ended January 31, 1999 were:

                                                      Class A          Class B
================================================================================
CDSCs                                                  $3,000         $995,000
================================================================================

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
six months ended January 31, 1999, total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

                                           Class A      Class B        Class L
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees                    $514,127     $8,340,971     $534,149
================================================================================

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

3. Investments

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

===============================================================================
Purchases                                                        $1,292,249,025
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales                                                             1,412,024,503
===============================================================================

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

===============================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                      $ 63,511,808
Gross unrealized depreciation                                       (46,650,757)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation                                        $ 16,861,051
===============================================================================

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 January 31, 1999, 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.

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.

During the six months ended January 31, 1999, the Fund did not have any reverse
repurchase agreement.

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 January 31, 1999, the Fund did not hold any 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 January 31, 1999, the Fund loaned common stocks having a value of $35,243,410
and holds the following collateral for loaned securities:

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

The strong fourth quarter of 1998 capped another strong year for financial
assets with stocks posting a better than 20% return for the fourth year in a
row. The equity portion of the Balanced Fund entered the latest reporting period
defensively postured with approximately 11% in cash and an overweight position
in utility stocks. Early in the reporting period, market volatility provided us
with opportunities to put cash to work and we also moved assets from some
utility stocks into market sectors that we believed had greater long-term
appreciation potential.

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney Balanced
Fund ("Fund"), for the period ended January 31, 1999. 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 Classic Investor Series Fund

The Fund is part of the Classic Investor Series of Smith Barney Mutual Funds.
The Classic Investor 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 Investor Series
invest across asset classes and sectors, utilizing a range of strategies in
order to achieve their objectives.

Performance Update

For the six-months ended January 31, 1999, the Fund generated a total return of
11.22% (before the deduction of any sales charges) for its Class A shares,
significantly outperforming its Lipper, Inc. balanced fund peer group average of
7.39% for the same period. (Lipper is a major independent fund-tracking
organization.)

During the same period, the S&P 500 Index ("S&P 500"), a common measure of broad
stock market performance, gained 15.02% and the Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Bond Index, which tracks the performance of the overall
bond market, rose 5.75%. As of January 31, 1999, stocks represented
approximately 62% of the Fund's total net assets and bonds made up roughly 38%.
For information on the Fund's other share classes, please refer to page four.

Investment Strategy Update

In selecting stocks for the Fund, we employ an investing approach emphasizing a
portfolio broadly diversified across a wide range of industries. Generally, the
stock portion of the Fund will be comprised of mostly mid- to
large-capitalization companies. However, the Fund may also invest in
smaller-capitalization companies if they otherwise meet the same investment
criteria.

Stock Market Update*

Over the last six months, investors experienced the worst and best the stock
market has to offer. Throughout the summer, political and economic uncertainty
shook world markets and exposed investors to higher levels of volatility.
Investors had to endure another financial meltdown in emerging market economies,
a President being impeached and renewed tension in the Middle East, to name just
a few. The resulting summer market decline was severe in magnitude but
thankfully short in duration. As the year came to a close, subsiding fears of
global economic collapse, interest rate cuts at home and abroad,

continued strength in consumer spending and strong earnings gains at many
companies all helped stocks (as measured by the S&P 500) record their best
single quarterly return since the first quarter of 1987.

The strong fourth quarter of 1998 capped another strong year for financial
assets with stocks posting a better than 20% return for the fourth year in a
row. The equity portion of the Balanced Fund entered the latest reporting period
defensively postured with approximately 11% in cash and an overweight position
in utility stocks. Early in the reporting period, market volatility provided us
with opportunities to put cash to work and we also moved assets from some
utility stocks to market sectors that we believed had greater long-term
appreciation potential. Specifically, in the technology sector, we added to our
positions in Cisco Systems, Compaq Computer, Sun Microsystems and Xerox. We also
took advantage of volatility in financial service stocks and added to our
holdings in Chase Manhattan and Associates First Capital.

We also attempted to take advantage of weakness in the oil service sector and
increased our holdings in Halliburton. Unfortunately, the weakness in the oil
industry is not yet over. Yet we believe that this sector offers compelling
value although there appears to be no immediate catalyst on the horizon.

For the last six months, the biggest positive contributors to the Balanced
Fund's performance were Sun Microsystems, EMC Corp., MCI/Worldcom, Cisco Systems
and Xerox. The stocks detracting most from the Fund's performance were
Schlumberger, Halliburton, PPG Industries, Dollar General and NationsBank.

Bond Market Update*

During the six months ended January 31, 1999, the U.S. bond markets were
volatile and highlighted by a flight to quality on the part of bond investors.
This massive flight to quality proved to be a temporary liquidity drain on
virtually all sectors of the bond market with the lone exception being U.S.
Treasury benchmark issues. In our view, this flight to quality and resulting
spread widening was ignited by the Russian default and sustained by Brazilian
economic concerns in addition to massive hedge fund liquidations of
over-leveraged positions across a wide spectrum of bonds. As January drew to a
close, the resilience of the U.S. economy once again asserted itself and the
performance of the U.S. bond market proved that foreign crises and resulting
market turmoil often create buying opportunities.

The last six months were a period of transition for the Fund's fixed-income
holdings. We migrated out of long-term utility bonds and moved our assets into a
more diversified portfolio of investment grade bonds, high-yield corporate bonds
and limited U.S. Treasury, agency and agency mortgage-backed securities.

During the reporting period, we took advantage of the U.S. Treasury bond market
rally to systematically shorten the Fund's average maturity. Later on in the
reporting period, we increased our exposure to quality investment grade and
high-yield corporate issues as corporate spreads widened to attractive levels
and market liquidity returned. The fixed income portion of the Fund is
structured to provide investors with the highest income available consistent
with prudent management.

Outlook

So far in 1999, we believe the consensus among investors is that inflation and
interest rates are as low as they can go and that corporate earnings will at
best be up 3% to 4% and at worst be down, and that stocks are way too expensive.
While the first two points are highly debatable, we agree that stocks look
expensive by many historical measures. Where we differ from the consensus is
that we think stocks should trade at the high end of their valuation range in
this environment.

There are many reasons why stocks are trading at these high levels today. In our
opinion, the most important factor has been the relentless growth in earnings.

<PAGE>
 
1982 earnings for companies represented in the S&P 500 have grown at a 10%
compound annual rate, which is significantly higher than average growth
experienced since the end of World War II. From this perspective, more stock
market appreciation will depend in large part on continued strong growth in
earnings.

The current consensus expectation for 1999 corporate earnings growth is 4%.
There are two reasons why we think this number and expectations for long-term
future earnings growth may be too modest. First, demographic trends continue to
favorably influence domestic economic growth. Aging baby boomers remain active
consumers and they are expected to stay a potent force in the economy for many
years to come. Second, we firmly believe that many companies have yet to fully
realize the benefits and business potential created from the revolution in
technology of the last twenty years. The first phase of technological
application focused on cost reduction. The second phase of technological
innovation will be business redesign as a means to improve sales. Companies in
the first phase are running today's businesses better while companies in phase
two are creating a better business model. Phase one was a primary driver of
earnings growth up until now; phase two should be a primary driver of growth in
the future.

And while it is not likely that we will experience a fifth year of 20% gains in
the stock market, we do see ample opportunity to identify individual stocks with
great appreciation potential.

With respect to our views on the bond market, we anticipate that interest rates
will move sideways to marginally higher over the next six months. We plan to
retain our overweight position in corporate bonds and keep a limited allocation
to U.S. agency mortgage backed securities. The Fund's maturity structure can
best be described as neutral, which means that we expect corporate yields to
provide the bulk of the returns over the next few months. If, as expected, rates
go up and corporate spreads move tighter, we will upgrade our holdings to
include higher quality corporate issues along with more U.S. government and
agency issues. If the economy also shows signs of peaking, we also plan to move
into a longer and more aggressive maturity structure.

In closing, thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Balanced Fund. We
encourage you to visit our Web site at www.smithbarney.com. We look forward to
helping you pursue your investment goals in the years ahead.

+     Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares on January
      31, 1989, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at
      net asset value through January 31, 1999. 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. The Lehman
      Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index is a combination of publicly
      issued intermediate and long-term U.S. government bonds and corporate
      bonds. Figures for the indices include reinvestment of dividends. The
      indices are unmanaged and are not subject to the same management and
      trading expenses of 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)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("Standard & Poor's") -- Ratings from "AAA" 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 Standard &
            Poor's 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    -- Bonds rated "BB" and "B" are regarded, on balance, as
and CCC     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.

Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") -- Numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3
may be applied to each generic rating from "Aaa" 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Smith Barney Balanced 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 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, 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 semi-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.

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

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

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

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

There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 5.00% 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. Class L and O shares
also have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the first year
of purchase.

For the six months ended January 31, 1999, SSB received brokerage commissions of
$6,600 and sales charges of $102,000 and $19,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A
and L shares, respectively. In addition, CDSCs paid to SSB were approximately:

                                                   Class B               Class O
================================================================================
CDSCs                                             $342,000              $  1,000
================================================================================

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 six months ended January 31, 1999, total
Distribution Plan fees incurred were as follows:

                                                                    Distribution

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

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

3. Investments

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

================================================================================
Purchases                                                           $310,869,194

Sales                                                                415,400,570
================================================================================

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

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                     $ 142,860,969

Net unrealized appreciation                                       $ 111,699,632
================================================================================

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 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.

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 January 31, 1999, 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 January 31, 1999, 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 January 31, 1999, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

      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 is incurred. Class L shares also reflect the
      deduction of a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed within the
      first year of purchase. 

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

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

We viewed the third quarter 1998 correction in the high-yield bond market as a
buying opportunity and carefully redeployed excess cash reserves into the market
during that time. However, given the continued problems in Asia and Latin
America, we remained underweighted in basic commodity industries such as steel,
forest products, energy and petrochemicals, industries that continue to be
negatively affected by worldwide deflationary trends.

              HEATH B. MCLENDON       JOHN C. BIANCHI

              Chairman                 Vice President and
                                       Investment Officer

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney High
Income Fund ("Fund") for the period ended January 31, 1999. 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 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 January 31, 1999, the Fund generated a total return of a
negative 3.01% for Class A shares, excluding the effects of sales charges. In
comparison, the average six-month total return for open-end high-yield funds as
reported by Lipper Inc., a major independent fund performance tracking
organization, was a negative 3.84%. While we were disappointed in our results
over the past six months, our relatively more conservative investment approach
did enable us to outperform our Lipper peer group average as the financial
markets encountered considerable price volatility. We believe our general
cautiousness remains warranted given the increasing uncertainty over future
world economic growth and financial market performance.

In addition, during the past six months, the Fund paid income dividends totaling
$0.51 for Class A shares. Based on a net asset value ("NAV") of $10.86 per share
and a current monthly income dividend of $0.082 as of January 31, 1999, this
equates to an annual distribution rate of 9.06%. Given our more conservative
investment approach that emphasizes higher-quality issues with less yield, we
slightly reduced the Fund's dividend in January. Given current market
conditions, we believe that the Fund is now in a stronger position to weather
any economic or market dislocations that may occur over the short term.

Market and Economic Overview

The high-yield bond market generated relatively weak results during the third
quarter of 1998, underperforming all other domestic bond market sectors. By the
end of September, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") began taking aggressive
actions to restore investor confidence in the financial markets. The Fed had
realized that the financial markets were beginning to freeze up with overall
liquidity disappearing. Many companies were finding it increasingly more
difficult to borrow money through the fixed income capital markets. Investors
had become increasingly reluctant to invest in new bond issues, especially from
companies that issue high yield bonds. Their fears were that an economic
recession was becoming a more likely possibility given the increased turmoil in
emerging market economies such as Korea, Russia and Indonesia.

Moreover, the Fed was also concerned that a worldwide credit crunch in the
financial markets could throw the U.S. economy into a meaningful recession. By
acting swiftly and lowering short-term interest rates three times, the Fed was
able to stabilize U.S. financial markets and restore investor confidence.

As investors slowly became more comfortable with the economic outlook and the
Fed's resolve to keep the economy out of a recession, the high-yield bond market
stabilized and outperformed other types of U.S. bonds in the fourth quarter of
1998. However, because of lingering uncertainty over the economic outlook, the
high-yield bond market is still trading at undervalued levels. We think that as
more investors become convinced that the U.S. economy is still fundamentally
sound, the high-yield bond market should continue to stabilize and prices should
improve and high-yield bonds should do better than other kinds of domestic
bonds.

Portfolio Strategy and Market Outlook

The Fund remains cautiously positioned with a heavy emphasis in better quality,
intermediate maturity "B" and "BB" rated high-yield bonds. As of January 31,
1999, the Fund's average maturity was approximately 8.5 years. In addition, the
Fund continued to emphasize telecommunications issues as well as cable and media
issues.

We viewed the third quarter 1998 correction in the high-yield bond market as a
buying opportunity and carefully redeployed excess cash reserves into the market
during that time. However, given the continued problems in Asia and Latin
America, we remained underweighted in basic commodity industries such as steel,
forest products, energy and petrochemicals, industries that continue to be
negatively affected by worldwide deflationary trends. (Deflation is when prices
actually fall. Deflation should not be confused with disinflation, which is the
slowing down of the rate at which prices increase.)

Conclusion

We believe that the financial markets will remain choppy as investors continue
to sort out the potential negative impact on world economic growth from the
large declines in both currencies and financial assets, particularly in the
emerging markets of Asia and Latin America. We will therefore continue to be
more selective in our investment strategy and we intend to maintain a meaningful
percentage of stronger "BB"-rated issues in the Fund's portfolio.

We will also remain focused on companies that should be less vulnerable to the
crisis in Asia as well as other emerging markets that are experiencing financial
difficulties. We believe that economic growth could slow worldwide and general
interest rates may still decline from current levels. If our expectations come
true, better quality high-yield bonds should do better than other types of
domestic bonds. And despite our general cautiousness, we will continue to take
advantage of select high growth opportunities, especially in the
telecommunications and media sectors as they become available.

(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 also 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 January
      31, 1989, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at
      net asset value through January 31, 1999. The Salomon Smith Barney
      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)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Standard & Poor's Rating Service ("Standard & Poor's") -- Ratings from "BBB" to
"D" 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 Investor Services, Inc. ("Moody's") -- Numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3
may be applied to each generic rating from "Baa" through "Caa", where 1 is the
highest and 3 the lowest rating within 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.

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 and Smith Barney Total Return Bond Fund.
The financial statements and financial highlights for the other funds are
presented in separate semi-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

SSBC Fund Management Inc. ("SSBC"), formerly known as Mutual Management Corp., a
subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment
adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays SSBC an 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.

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

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

There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 4.50% on Class B shares,
which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase. This CDSC
declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and thereafter by 1.00% per year
until no CDSC is incurred. Class L shares also have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies
if redemption occurs within the first year of purchase. In 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 six months ended January 31, 1999, SSB received sales charges of
$791,000 and $415,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A and L shares, respectively.
In addition, CDSCs paid to SSB were approximately:

                                 Class A            Class B             Class L
================================================================================
CDSCs                           $  2,000            $539,000            $ 26,000
================================================================================

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 six months ended January 31, 1999, total Distribution Plan
fees incurred were:

                                   Class A           Class B            Class L
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees            $  598,869        $3,031,637        $  360,048
================================================================================

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

3. Investments

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

================================================================================
Purchases                                                           $795,595,644

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

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

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                     $  66,571,285

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:

                                                                    Carryforward

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 January 31, 1999, 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 January 31, 1999, 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 six months ended January 31, 1999, 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 January 31, 1999, 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 gain (loss) on the contracts
reflected in the accompanying financial statements were as follows:
