from Federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing. The Portfolio

the Florida intangibles tax. The Portfolio may invest without limit in municipal
obligations whose interest is a tax-preference item for purposes of the Federal
alternative minimum tax.
This Prospectus sets forth concisely certain information about the Fund
and the Portfolio, including sales charges, distribution and service fees and
expenses, that prospective investors will find helpful in making an investment
decision. Investors are encouraged to read this Prospectus carefully and retain

Prospectus Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information. Cross references in this summary are to headings in the Prospectus.
See "Table of Contents."
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Portfolio seeks to pay its shareholders as high a level
of monthly income exempt from Federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent
investing. The Portfolio will invest primarily in obligations issued by the
State of Florida and its political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities.
The Portfolio will seek generally to select investments that will enable its
shares to be exempt from the Florida intangibles tax. The Portfolio may invest
without limit in municipal obligations whose interest is a tax-preference item
for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax. See "Investment Objective
and Management Policies."
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS The Portfolio offers several classes of shares
("Classes") to investors designed to provide them with the flexibility of
selecting an investment best suited to their needs. The general public is
offered three Classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C
shares, which differ principally in terms of sales charges and rate of expenses
to which they are subject. A fourth Class of shares, Class Y shares, is offered
only to investors meeting an initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. See
"Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares."
Class A Shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial
sales charge of up to 4.00% and are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% of
the average daily net assets of the Class. The initial sales charge may be
reduced or waived for certain purchases. Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000
or more will be made at net asset value with no initial sales charge, but will
be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. See "Prospectus Summary --
Alternative Purchase Arrangements -- Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge."
Class B Shares. Class B shares are offered at net asset value subject to a
maximum CDSC of 4.50% of redemption proceeds, declining by 0.50% the first year
after purchase and by 1.00% each year thereafter to zero. This CDSC may be
waived for certain redemptions. Class B shares are subject to an annual service
fee of 0.15% and an annual distribution fee of 0.50% of the average daily net
assets of the Class. The Class B shares' distribution fee may cause that Class
to have higher expenses and pay lower dividends than Class A shares.
Class B Shares Conversion Feature. Class B shares will convert
automatically to Class A shares, based on relative net asset value, eight years
after the date of the original purchase. Upon conversion, these shares will no
longer be subject to an annual distribution fee. In addition, a certain portion
of Class B shares that have been acquired through the reinvestment of dividends
and distributions ("Class B
3
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividend Shares") will be converted at that time. See "Purchase of Shares --
Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."
Class C Shares. Class C shares are sold at net asset value with no initial
sales charge. They are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% and an annual
distribution fee of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Class, and
investors pay a CDSC of 1.00% if they redeem Class C shares within 12 months of
purchase. The CDSC may be waived for certain redemptions. The Class C shares'
distribution fee may cause that Class to have higher expenses and pay lower
dividends than Class A shares. Purchases of Portfolio shares, which when
combined with current holdings of Class C shares of the Portfolio equal or
exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, should be made in Class A shares at net asset
value with no sales charge, and will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are available only to investors meeting an
initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. Class Y shares are sold at net asset
value with no initial sales charge or CDSC. They are not subject to any service
or distribution fees.
In deciding which Class of Portfolio shares to purchase, investors should
consider the following factors, as well as any other relevant facts and
circumstances:
Intended Holding Period. The decision as to which Class of shares is more
beneficial to an investor depends on the amount and intended duration of his or
her investment. Shareholders who are planning to establish a program of regular
investment may wish to consider Class A shares; as the investment accumulates
shareholders may qualify for reduced sales charges and the shares are subject to
lower ongoing expenses over the term of the investment. As an alternative,
Class B and Class C shares are sold without any initial sales charge so the
entire purchase price is immediately invested in the Portfolio. Any investment
return on these additional invested amounts may partially or wholly offset the
higher annual expenses of these Classes. Because the Portfolio's future return
cannot be predicted, how ever, there can be no assurance that this would be the
case.
Finally, investors should consider the effect of the CDSC period and any
conversion rights of the Classes in the context of their own investment time
frame. For example, while Class C shares have a shorter CDSC period than Class B
shares, they do not have a conversion feature and therefore are subject to an
ongoing distribution fee. Thus, Class B shares may be more attractive than
Class C shares to investors with longer-term investment outlooks.
Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge. The initial sales charge on Class A
shares may be waived for certain eligible purchasers and the entire purchase
price would be immediately invested in the Portfolio. In addition, Class A share
purchases of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset value with no initial
sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within
12 months of
4

Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
purchase. The $500,000 investment may be met by adding the purchase to the net
asset value of all Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in funds
sponsored by Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") listed under "Exchange
Privilege." Class A share purchases may also be eligible for a reduced initial
sales charge. See "Purchase of Shares." Because the ongoing expenses of Class A
shares may be lower than those for Class B and Class C shares, purchasers
eligible to purchase Class A shares at net asset value or at a reduced sales
charge should consider doing so.
Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different compensation for
selling different Classes of shares. Investors should understand that the
purpose of the CDSC on the Class B and Class C shares is the same as that of the
initial sales charge on the Class A shares.
See "Purchase of Shares" and "Management of the Fund" for a complete
description of the sales charges and service and distribution fees for each
Class of shares and "Valuation of Shares," "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes"
and "Exchange Privilege" for other differences between the Classes of shares.
PURCHASE OF SHARES Shares may be purchased through a brokerage account
maintained with Smith Barney. Shares may also be purchased through a broker that
clears securities transactions through Smith Barney on a fully disclosed basis
(an "Introducing Broker") or an investment dealer in the selling group. See
"Purchase of Shares."
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may open an
account by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account.
Investors in Class Y shares may open an account for an initial investment of
$5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for all Classes.
The minimum investment requirements for purchases of Portfolio shares through
the Systematic Investment Plan are described below. There is no minimum
investment requirement in Class A shares for unitholders who invest
distributions from a unit investment trust ("UIT") sponsored by Smith Barney. It
is not recommended that the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or
other qualified retirement plans. See "Purchase of Shares."
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Portfolio offers shareholders a Systematic
Investment Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a
purchase order each month or quarter for Portfolio shares. The minimum initial
investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the
subsequent investment requirement for all Classes for shareholders purchasing
shares through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis is $25, and on
a quarterly basis is $50. See "Purchase of Shares."
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of Shares" and
"Redemption of Shares."

Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIO Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"
or the "Manager") serves as the Portfolio's investment manager. SBMFM provides
investment advisory and management services to investment companies affiliated
with Smith Barney. SBMFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc.
("Travelers"), a diversified financial services holding company engaged,
through its subsidiaries, principally in four business segments: Investment
Services, Consumer Finance Services, Life Insurance Services and Property &
Casualty Insurance Services. See "Management of the Fund."
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shares of a Class may be exchanged for shares of the same
Class of certain other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the respective
net asset values next determined. See "Exchange Privilege."
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Portfolio for the prior day generally
is quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is also
available from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of Shares."
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income
are paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid
annually. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of a Class
will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an investor, in
additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value. Shares acquired
by dividend and distribution reinvestments will not be subject to any sales
charge or CDSC. Class B shares acquired through dividend and distribution
reinvestments will become eligible for conversion to Class A shares on a pro
rata basis. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that the
Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The Portfolio's concentration
in Florida obligations involves certain additional risks that should be
considered carefully by investors. Additionally, the value of the Portfolio's
investments, and thus the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares, will
fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as well as
the financial condition and prospects of issuers of municipal obligations
purchased by the Port folio. The market value of long-term municipal bonds may
be adversely affected during periods of rising interest rates. Additionally,
changes in Federal income tax laws affecting the tax exemption for interest on
municipal obligations could affect the availability of tax-exempt obligations
for purchase and the value of the Portfolio's securities would be affected. See
"Investment Objective and Management Policies."

THE PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and
expenses an investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a shareholder
of the Portfolio, based on the maximum sales charge or maximum CDSC that may be
incurred at the time of purchase or redemption and the Portfolio's operating
expenses for its most recent fiscal year:
Florida Portfolio Class A Class B Class C Class Y**

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset
value with no sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
** "Other Expenses" for Class Y shares have been estimated because no Class Y
shares were outstanding for the year ended March 31, 1997.
*** Upon conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, such shares will no
longer be subject to a distribution fee. Class C shares do not have a
conversion feature and, therefore, are subject to an ongoing distribution
fee. As a result, long-term shareholders of Class C shares may pay more
than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge
permitted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Class A shares of the Portfolio purchased through the Smith Barney AssetOne
Program will be subject to an annual asset-based fee, payable quarterly, in lieu
of the initial sales charge. The fee will vary to a maximum of 1.50%, depending
on the amount of assets held through the Program. For more information, please
call your Smith Barney Financial Consultant.

Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sales charge and CDSC set forth in the above table are the maximum
charges imposed on purchases or redemptions of Portfolio shares and investors
may actually pay lower or no charges, depending on the amount purchased and, in
the case of Class B, Class C and certain Class A shares, the length of time the
shares are held. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares." Smith
Barney receives an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.15% of the value of average
daily net assets of Class A shares. Smith Barney also receives with respect to
Class B shares an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.65% of the value of average daily net
assets of that Class, consisting of a 0.50% distribution fee and a 0.15% service
fee. With respect to Class C shares, Smith Barney also receives an annual 12b-1
fee of 0.70% of the value of average daily net assets of that Class, consisting
of a 0.55% distribution fee and a 0.15% service fee. "Other expenses" in the
above table include fees for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and
accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees.
EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding
the various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or
indirectly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses
at the levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares,"
"Redemption of Shares" and "Management of the Fund."
Florida Portfolio 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years*
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investor would pay the following expenses
on a $1,000 investment, assuming (1) 5.00%
annual return and (2) redemption at the end
of each time period:
Class A................................. $48 $66 $85 $141
Class B................................. 59 73 84 149
Class C................................. 24 44 77 168
Class Y................................. 7 22 39 87
An investor would pay the following expenses
on the same investment, assuming the same
annual return and no redemption:
Class A................................. $48 $66 $85 $141
Class B................................. 14 43 74 149
Class C................................. 14 44 77 168
Class Y................................. 7 22 39 87
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Ten-year figures assume conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares
at the end of the eighth year following the date of purchase.
The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense
levels of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods.
To facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, the Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. This example should not be considered a
representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or
less than those shown.

Investment Objective and Management Policies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Florida Portfolio seeks as high a level of income exempt from Federal
income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing. The Portfolio invests
primarily in obligations that are issued by the State of Florida and its
political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest from which
is, in the opinion of bond counsel for the various issuers, exempt from Federal
income taxes at the time of their issuance. For certain shareholders, a portion
of the Portfolio's income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax ("AMT")
on tax-exempt income discussed below. Such obligations are issued to raise money
for a variety of public projects that enhance the quality of life, including
health facilities, housing, airports, schools, highways and bridges. The
Portfolio will seek generally to select investments which will enable its shares
to be exempt from the Florida intangibles tax.
The two principal classifications of municipal obligations are "general
obligation" and "revenue." General obligations are secured by a municipal
issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest. Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases,
from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source.
Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed
discussion about the different types of municipal obligations.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest income from municipal
obligations issued to finance certain "private activities" ("AMT-Subject Bonds")
becomes an item of "tax preference" which is subject to the AMT when received by
a person in a tax year during which he is subject to that tax. Such private
activity bonds include bonds issued to finance such projects as certain solid
waste disposal facilities, student loan programs and water and sewage projects.
Because interest income on AMT-Subject Bonds is taxable to certain investors, it
is expected, although there can be no guarantee, that such municipal obligations
generally will provide somewhat higher yields than other municipal obligations
of comparable quality and maturity. There is no limitation on the percent or
amount of the Portfolio's assets that may be invested in AMT-Subject Bonds.
Municipal bonds purchased for the Portfolio must, at the time of purchase,
be investment-grade municipal bonds and at least two-thirds of the Portfolio's
municipal bonds must be rated in the category of A or better. Investment-grade
bonds are those rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or
have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization; pre-refunded bonds escrowed by U.S. Treasury obligations will be
considered AAA-rated even though the issuer does not obtain a new rating. Up to
one-third of the assets of the Portfolio may be invested in municipal bonds
rated Baa or BBB (this grade, while regarded as having an adequate capacity to
pay interest and repay principal, is considered to be of medium quality and has
11

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
speculative characteristics; in addition, changes in economic conditions or
other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make
principal and interest payments than is the case with higher grade bonds) or in
unrated municipal bonds if, based upon credit analysis by the Manager, it is
believed that such securities are at least of comparable quality to those
securities in which the Portfolio may invest. In determining the suitability of
an investment in an unrated municipal bond, the Manager will take into
consideration debt service coverage, the purpose of the financing, history of
the issuer, existence of other rated securities of the issuer and other general
conditions as may be relevant, including comparability to other issues. After
the Portfolio purchases a municipal bond, the issue may cease to be rated or its
rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase. Such an event
would not require the elimination of the issue from the Portfolio but the
Manager will consider such an event in determining whether the Portfolio should
continue to hold the security.
The Portfolio's short-term municipal obligations will be limited to
high-grade obligations (obligations that are secured by the full faith and
credit of the United States or are rated MIG 1 or MIG 2, VMIG 1 or VMIG 2 or
Prime-1 or Aa or better by Moody's or SP-1 +, SP-1, SP-2, or A-1 or AA or better
by S&P or have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical
rating organization or obligations determined by the Manager to be equivalent).
Among the types of short-term instruments in which the Portfolio may invest are
floating- or variable-rate demand instruments, tax-exempt commercial paper
(generally having a maturity of less than nine months), and other types of notes
generally having maturities of less than three years, such as Tax Anticipation
Notes, Revenue Anticipation Notes, Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes and Bond
Anticipation Notes. Demand instruments usually have an indicated maturity of
over one year, but contain a demand feature that enables the holder to redeem
the investment on no more than 30 days' notice; variable-rate demand instruments
provide for automatic establishment of a new interest rate on set dates;
floating-rate demand instruments provide for automatic adjustment of their
interest rates whenever some other specified interest rate changes (e.g., the
prime rate). The Portfolio may purchase participation interests in variable-rate
tax-exempt securities (such as industrial development bonds) owned by banks.
Participations are frequently backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or
guarantee of a bank that the Manager has determined meets the prescribed quality
standards for the Portfolio. Participation interests will be purchased only if
management believes interest income on such interests will be tax exempt when
distributed as dividends to shareholders.
The Portfolio will not invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets
in illiquid securities, including those that are not readily marketable or for
which there is no established market.
12
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio may purchase new issues of municipal obligations on a
when-issued basis, i.e., delivery and payment normally take place 15 to 45 days
after the purchase date. The payment obligation and the interest rate to be
received are each fixed on the purchase date, although no interest accrues with
respect to a when-issued security prior to its stated delivery date. During the
period between purchase and settlement, assets consisting of cash or debt
securities of any grade having a value equal to or greater than the Portfolio's
purchase commitments, provided such securities have been determined by the
Manager to be liquid and unencumbered and are marked to market daily pursuant to
guidelines established by the Trustees, will be segregated at the custodian
bank. Interest rates at settlement may be lower or higher than on the purchase
date, which would result in appreciation or depreciation, respectively. Although
the Portfolio will only purchase municipal obligations on a when-issued basis
with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, the Portfolio may sell
these securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable.
Portfolio transactions will be undertaken primarily to accomplish the
Portfolio's objective in relation to anticipated movements in the general level
of interest rates, but the Portfolio may also engage in short-term trading
consistent with its objective.
The Portfolio may invest in municipal bond index futures contracts
(currently traded on the Chicago Board of Trade) or in listed contracts based on
U.S. government securities as a hedging policy in pursuit of its investment
objective, provided that immediately thereafter not more than 331 1/43% of its
net assets would be hedged or the amount of margin deposits on the Portfolio's
existing futures would not exceed 5% of the value of its total assets. Since any
income would be taxable, it is anticipated that such investments will be made
only in those circumstances when the Manager anticipates the possibility of an
extreme change in interest rates or market conditions but does not wish to
liquidate the Portfolio's securities. A further discussion of futures contracts
and their associated risks is contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.
The Portfolio may invest in zero coupon bonds. A zero coupon bond pays
no interest in cash to its holder during its life, although interest is accrued
during that period. Its value to an investor consists of the difference between
its face value at the time of maturity and the price for which it was acquired,
which is generally an amount significantly less than its face value (sometimes
referred to as a "deep discount" price). Because such securities usually trade
at a deep discount, they will be subject to greater fluctuations of market value
in response to changing interest rates than debt obligations of comparable
maturities which make periodic distributions of interest. On the other hand,
because there are no periodic interest payments to be reinvested prior to
maturity, zero coupon securities eliminate the reinvestment risk and lock in a
rate of return to maturity.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a fundamental policy that, under normal market conditions, the
Portfolio will seek to invest 100% of its assets -- and the Portfolio will
invest not less than 80% of its assets -- in municipal obligations the interest
on which is exempt from Federal income taxes (other than the AMT). It is also a
fundamental policy that under normal market conditions the Portfolio will
invest at least 65% of its net assets in municipal obligations issued by the
State of Florida, its political subdivisions and their agencies and
instrumentalities and in other municipal obligations which are exempt from the
Florida intangibles tax. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its assets in
taxable fixed-income securities, but only in obligations issued or guaranteed by
the full faith and credit of the United States, and may invest more than 20% of
its assets in U.S. government securities during periods when in the Manager's
opinion a temporary defensive posture is warranted, including any period when
the Portfolio's monies available for investment exceed the municipal obligations
available for purchase that meet the Portfolio's rating, maturity and other
investment criteria.
RISK FACTORS AFFECTING FLORIDA
Investors should be aware that Florida municipal obligations may be
adversely affected by political and economic conditions and developments within
the State of Florida. Population growth in Florida since 1985 has increased
approximately 26.1%. The state's current population, estimated at 14 million, is
the fourth highest in the nation. Services and trade continue to be the largest
employment and earning sectors reflecting the tourist element of the economy as
well as growth in these activities to meet the needs of Florida's expanding
population. Manufacturing, primarily high technology, electrical and electronic
equipment industries and financial services are rapidly growing and diversifying
elements of Florida's economy. Agriculture, once sharing with tourism the role
of dominant economic sector, is now only one of several important elements.
Florida's rapid growth is straining resources, but is also having some
positive results. In many cases, the expansion of local governments is creating
greater economic depth and diversity. For example, numerous insurance companies
have located in Jacksonville over the past ten years, making the city a leading
insurance center. During the same period, Miami's financial services sector has
expanded significantly, primarily in international banking and international
trade. Many other Florida cities and counties have also succeeded in their
economic development efforts, as evidenced by the significant business
investment throughout the state.
Florida has taken the lead among U.S. states with a long-term
comprehensive growth management plan for local governments. The plan should
enhance economic development by keeping growth in line with developing resources
and costs. The growth initiative affects population, infrastructure, employment,
education, transportation, and water supply -- all vital elements of economic
stability.

Additional Information.
RISK AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objective is
dependent on a number of factors, including the skills of the Manager in
purchasing municipal obligations whose issuers have the continuing ability to
meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The
ability to achieve a high level of income is dependent on the yields of the
securities in the Portfolio. Yields on municipal obligations are the product of
a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the municipal bond
markets, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligations and
the rating of the issue. In general, the longer the maturity of a municipal
obligation, the higher the rate of interest it pays. However, a longer average
maturity is generally associated with a higher level of volatility in the market
value of a municipal obligation. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values of long-term municipal obligations generally rise. Conversely, during
periods of rising interest rates, the values of such securities generally
decline. Changes in the value of Portfolio securities will not affect interest
income derived from those securities but will affect the Portfolio's net asset
value. Since the Portfolio's objective is to provide high current income, it
will invest in municipal obligations with an emphasis on income rather than
stability of net asset values.
The Fund is registered as a "non-diversified" company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") in order for the Portfolio to
have the ability to invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any
issuer. The Portfolio intends to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") which limits the aggregate value
of all holdings (except U.S. government and cash items, as defined in the Code)
that exceed 5% of the Portfolio's total assets to an aggregate amount of 50% of
such assets. Also, holdings of a single issuer (with the same exceptions) may
not exceed 25% of the Portfolio's total assets. These limits are measured at the
end of each quarter. Under the Subchapter M limits, non-diversification allows
up to 50% of a Portfolio's total assets to be invested in as few as two single
issuers. In the event of a decline in the creditworthiness of, or default upon,
the obligations of one or more such issuers exceeding 5%, an investment in the
Portfolio will entail greater risk than in a portfolio having a policy of
diversification because a high percentage of the Portfolio's assets may be
invested in municipal obligations of one or two issuers. Furthermore, a high
percentage of investments among few issuers may result in a greater degree of
fluctuation in the market value of the assets of the Portfolio, and consequently
a greater degree of fluctuation of the Portfolio's net asset value, because the
Portfolio will be more susceptible to economic, political, or regulatory
developments affecting these securities than would be the case with a portfolio
composed of varied obligations of more issuers.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
The Portfolio's securities ordinarily are purchased from and sold to
parties acting as either principal or agent. Newly issued securities ordinarily
are purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter; other purchases
and sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it appears that the
best price or execution will be obtained. Usually no brokerage commissions, as
such, are paid by the Portfolio for purchases and sales undertaken through
principal transactions, although the price paid usually includes an undisclosed
compensation to the dealer acting as agent.
The Portfolio cannot accurately predict its portfolio turnover rate, but
anticipates that the annual turnover will not exceed 100%. An annual turnover
rate of 100% would occur when all of the securities held by the Portfolio are
replaced one time during a period of one year. The Manager will not consider
turnover rate a limiting factor in making investment decisions consistent with
the investment objective and policies of the Portfolio. See "Financial
Highlights" for the Portfolio's annual turnover rate during each year since
inception.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valuation of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, which is currently 4:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the Portfolio's net assets
attributable to each Class by the total number of shares of the Class
outstanding.
When, in the judgment of the pricing service, quoted bid prices for
investments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the
market, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and
asked prices. Investments for which, in the judgment of the pricing service,
there are no readily obtainable market quotations (which may constitute a
majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value of securities of
similar type, yield and maturity. Pricing services generally determine value by
reference to transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal
bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various
relationships between securities. Short-term instruments maturing within 60 days
will be valued at cost plus (minus) amortized discount (premium), if any, when
the Trustees have determined that amortized cost equals fair value. Securities
and other assets that are not priced by a pricing service and for which market
quotations are not available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or
under the direction of the Trustees.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from the Portfolio's net investment income are declared and paid
monthly and any realized capital gains are declared and distributed annually.
If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gains
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the same
Class at net asset value, subject to no sales charge or CDSC.
Income dividends and capital gains distributions that are invested are
credited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value
as of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the
option at any time by notifying his or her Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Accounts held directly by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor
Services Group, Inc. ("First Data") should notify First Data in writing at least
five business days prior to the payment date to permit the change to be entered
in the shareholder's account.
The per share dividends on Class B and Class C shares of the Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class A and Class Y shares principally
as a result of the distribution fee applicable with respect to Class B and Class
C shares. The per share dividends on Class A shares of the Portfolio may be
lower than the per share dividends on Class Y shares principally as a result of
the service fee applicable to Class A shares. Distributions of capital gains, if
any, will be in the same amount for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y
shares.
TAXES
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" and
to meet the requirements for distributing "exempt-interest dividends" under the
Code so that no Federal income taxes will be payable by the Portfolio and
dividends representing net interest received on municipal obligations will not
be includable by shareholders in their gross income for Federal income tax
purposes. To the extent dividends are derived from taxable income from temporary
investments, market discounts or from the excess of net short-term capital gain
over net long-term capital loss, they are treated as ordinary income whether the
shareholder has elected to receive them in cash or in additional shares. Capital
gains distributions, if any, whether paid in cash or invested in shares of the
Portfolio, will be taxable to shareholders.
Exempt-interest dividends allocable to interest received by the Portfolio
from the AMT-Subject Bonds in which the Portfolio may invest will be treated as
interest paid directly on such obligations and will give rise to an "item of tax
preference" that will increase a shareholder's alternative minimum taxable
income. In addition, for corporations, alternative minimum taxable income will
be increased by a percentage of the amount by which a special measure of income
(including exempt-interest dividends) exceeds the amount otherwise determined to
be alternative
17
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
minimum taxable income. Accordingly, investment in the Portfolio may cause
shareholders to be subject to (or result in an increased liability under) the
AMT. The Fund will annually furnish to its shareholders a report indicating the
ratable portion of exempt-interest dividends attributable to AMT-Subject Bonds.
The Portfolio will be treated as a separate regulated investment company
for Federal tax purposes. Accordingly, the Portfolio's net investment income is
determined separately based on the income earned on its securities less its
costs of operations. The Portfolio's net long-term and short-term gain (loss)
realized on investments is determined after offsetting any capital loss
carryover of the Portfolio from prior periods.
Under the Code, interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase
or carry shares of the Portfolio will not be deductible to the extent that the
Portfolio's distributions are exempt from Federal income tax. In addition, any
loss realized upon the redemption of shares held less than six months will be
disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends received by the
shareholder during such period. Further, persons who may be "substantial users"
(or "related persons" of substantial users) of facilities financed by industrial
development bonds should consult their tax advisers concerning an investment in
the Portfolio.
FLORIDA TAXES
Florida currently does not impose an income tax on individuals. Thus
individual shareholders of the Portfolio will not be subject to any Florida
state income tax on distributions received from the Portfolio. However, certain
distributions will be taxable to corporate shareholders that are subject to
Florida corporate income tax.
Florida currently imposes an "intangibles tax" on certain securities and
other intangible assets owned by Florida residents. Certain types of municipal
obligations of Florida issuers, U.S. Treasury securities and municipal
obligations issued by certain U.S. territories and possessions are exempt from
this intangibles tax. Consistent with its fundamental policy to invest not less
than 80% of its assets in municipal obligations the interest on which is exempt
from Federal income taxes (other than the alternative minimum tax), the
Portfolio will seek generally to select investments that will enable its shares
to be exempt from the Florida intangibles tax and will attempt to ensure that
all of its assets held on the annual assessment date are exempt from this tax.
The Fund also has received a ruling from the Florida Department of Revenue that,
if on the annual assessment date of any year the Portfolio consists solely of
such exempt assets, then the Portfolio's shares will be exempt from the Florida
intangibles tax. The Portfolio intends to provide shareholders annually with
information relating to its assets necessary to permit shareholders to determine
whether the value of Portfolio shares held is exempt from the Florida
intangibles tax.

Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investors purchasing municipal obligations of their state of residence, or
a fund comprised of such obligations, should recognize that the benefits of the
exemption from local taxes, in addition to the exemption from Federal taxes,
necessarily limits the fund's ability to diversify geographically. The Portfolio
will make available annually to its shareholders information concerning the tax
status of its distributions, including the amount of its dividends designated
as exempt-interest dividends and as capital gain dividends.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important tax
considerations generally affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders.
Additional tax information of relevance to particular investors is contained in
the Statement of Additional Information. Investors are urged to consult their
tax advisers with specific reference to their own tax situation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Portfolio offers four Classes of shares. Class A shares are sold to
investors with an initial sales charge and Class B and Class C shares are sold
without an initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC payable upon certain
redemptions. Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales charge or CDSC and
are available only to investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000 (except for
purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc., for
which there is no minimum purchase amount). See "Prospectus Summary --
Alternative Purchase Arrangements" for a discussion of factors to consider in
selecting which Class of shares to purchase.
Purchases of Portfolio shares must be made through a brokerage account
maintained with Smith Barney, an Introducing Broker or an investment dealer in
the selling group. When purchasing shares of the Portfolio, investors must
specify whether the purchase is for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Y shares.
Smith Barney and other broker-dealers may charge their customers an annual
account maintenance fee in connection with a brokerage account through which an
investor purchases or holds shares. Accounts held directly at First Data are not
subject to a maintenance fee.
Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may open an account by
making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account in the
Portfolio. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account by making an initial
investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for
all Classes. For shareholders purchasing shares of the Portfolio through the
Portfolio's Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis, the minimum initial
investment
19

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the subsequent
investment requirement for all Classes is $25. For shareholders purchasing
shares of the Portfolio through the Systematic Investment Plan on a quarterly
basis, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class
C shares and the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes is $50. There
are no minimum investment requirements in Class A for employees of Travelers
and its subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, and their spouses and children,
unitholders who invest distributions from a UIT sponsored by Smith Barney, and
Trustees or Directors of any of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds and their spouses
and children. The Fund reserves the right to waive or change minimums, to
decline any order to purchase its shares and to suspend the offering of shares
from time to time. Shares purchased will be held in the shareholder's account
by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data. Share certificates are issued only
upon a shareholder's written request to First Data. It is not recommended that
the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or other qualified retirement
plans.
The minimum initial investment requirement in the Portfolio for an account
established under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act is $250 and the subsequent
investment requirement is $50.
Purchase orders received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to the close of
regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net asset
value are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day (the
"trade date"). Orders received by dealers or introducing brokers prior to the
close of regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net
asset value are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day,
provided the order is received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to Smith
Barney's close of business. For shares purchased through Smith Barney or
Introducing Brokers purchasing through Smith Barney, payment for Portfolio
shares is due on the third business day after the trade date. In all other
cases, payment must be made with the purchase order.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Shareholders may make additions to their accounts at any time by
purchasing shares through a service known as the Systematic Investment Plan.
Under the Systematic Investment Plan, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized
through preauthorized transfers of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least
$50 on a quarterly basis to charge the regular bank account or other financial
institution indicated by the shareholder to provide systematic additions to the
shareholder's Portfolio account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to
complete the transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or
First Data. The Systematic Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply
cash held in the shareholder's Smith Barney brokerage account or redeem the
shareholder's shares of a Smith Barney money market fund to make additions to
the account. Additional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.

INITIAL SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE - CLASS A SHARES
The sales charges applicable to purchases of Class A shares of the
Portfolio are as follows:
================================================================================
Sales Charge Dealer's
% of % of Amount Reallowance as % of
Amount of Investment Offering Price Invested Offering Price
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than $ 25,000 4.00% 4.17% 3.60%
$25,000 - 49,999 3.50 3.63 3.15
$50,000 - 99,999 3.00 3.09 2.70
$100,000 - 249,999 2.50 2.56 2.25
$250,000 - 499,999 1.50 1.52 1.35
$500,000 and over * * *
================================================================================
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net
asset value without any initial sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of
1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC on Class A
shares is payable to Smith Barney, which compensates Smith Barney Financial
Consultants and other dealers whose clients make purchases of $500,000 or more.
The CDSC is waived in the same circumstances in which the CDSC applicable to
Class B and Class C shares is waived. See "Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives"
and "Waivers of CDSC."
Members of the selling group may receive up to 90% of the sales charge and
may be deemed to be underwriters of the Fund as defined in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
The reduced sales charges shown above apply to the aggregate of purchases
of Class A shares of the Portfolio made at one time by "any person," which
includes an individual and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or other
fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary account.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE WAIVERS
Purchases of Class A shares may be made at net asset value without a sales
charge in the following circumstances: (a) sales to (i) Board members and
employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries and any of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds (including retired Board members and employees); the immediate families of
such persons (including the surviving spouse of a deceased Board member or
employee); and to a pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for such
persons and (ii) employees of members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., provided such sales are made upon the assurance of the purchaser
that the purchase is made for investment purposes and that the securities will
not be resold except through redemption or repurchase; (b) offers of Class A
shares to any other investment company to effect the combination of such company
with the Portfolio by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise; (c) purchases
of Class A shares by any client of a newly employed Smith Barney Financial
Consultant (for a period up
21
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to 90 days from the commencement of the Financial Consultant's employment with
Smith Barney), on the condition the purchase of Class A shares is made with the
proceeds of the redemption of shares of a mutual fund which (i) was sponsored by
the Financial Consultant's prior employer, (ii) was sold to the client by the
Financial Consultant and (iii) was subject to a sales charge; (d) purchases by
shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares in the Portfolio (or Class A
shares of another fund of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds that are offered with a
sales charge) and who wish to reinvest their redemption proceeds in the
Portfolio, provided the reinvestment is made within 60 calendar days of the
redemption; (e) purchases by accounts managed by registered investment
advisory subsidiaries of Travelers; (f) investments of distributions from a UIT
sponsored by Smith Barney; and (g) purchases by investors participating in a
Smith Barney fee-based arrangement. In order to obtain such discounts, the
purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time of purchase to permit
verification that the purchase would qualify for the elimination of the sales
charge.
RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION
Class A shares of a Portfolio may be purchased by "any person" (as defined
above) at a reduced sales charge or at net asset value determined by aggregating
the dollar amount of the new purchase and the total net asset value of all Class
A shares of the Portfolio and of funds sponsored by Smith Barney which are
offered with a sales charge listed under "Exchange Privilege" then held by such
person and applying the sales charge applicable to such aggregate. In order to
obtain such discount, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the
time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the
reduced sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to modification or
discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares purchased thereafter.
GROUP PURCHASES
Upon completion of certain automated systems, a reduced sales charge or
purchase at net asset value will also be available to employees (and partners)
of the same employer purchasing as a group, provided each participant makes the
minimum initial investment required. The sales charge applicable to purchases by
each member of such a group will be determined by the table set forth above
under "Initial Sales Charge Alternative -- Class A Shares," and will be based
upon the aggregate sales of Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered
with a sales charge to, and share holdings of, all members of the group. To be
eligible for such reduced sales charges or to purchase at net asset value, all
purchases must be made pursuant to an employer-or partnership-sanctioned plan
meeting certain requirements. One such requirement is that the plan must be
open
22
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to specified partners or employees of the employer and its subsidiaries, if any.
Such plan may, but is not required to, provide for payroll deductions. Smith
Barney may also offer a reduced sales charge or net asset value purchase for
aggregating related fiduciary accounts under such conditions that Smith Barney
will realize economies of sales efforts and sales-related expenses. An
individual who is a member of a qualified group may also purchase Class A shares
at the reduced sales charge applicable to the group as a whole. The sales charge
is based upon the aggregate dollar value of Class A shares offered with a sales
charge that have been previously purchased and are still owned by the group,
plus the amount of the current purchase. A "qualified group" is one which (a)
has been in existence for more than six months, (b) has a purpose other than
acquiring Portfolio shares at a discount and (c) satisfies uniform criteria
which enable Smith Barney to realize economies of scale in its costs of
distributing shares. A qualified group must have more than 10 members, must be
available to arrange for group meetings between representatives of the Portfolio
and the members and must agree to include sales and other materials related to
the Portfolio in its publications and mailings to members at no cost to Smith
Barney. In order to obtain such reduced sales charge or to purchase at net asset
value, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time of purchase
to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced sales charge.
Approval of group purchase reduced sales charge plans is subject to the
discretion of Smith Barney.
LETTER OF INTENT
Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for amounts of $50,000 or more provides
an opportunity for an investor to obtain a reduced sales charge by aggregating
investments over a 13-month period, provided that the investor refers to such
Letter when placing orders. For purposes of a Letter of Intent, the "Amount of
Investment" as referred to in the preceding sales charge table includes
purchases of all Class A shares of the Portfolio and other funds of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds offered with a sales charge over the 13-month period based
on the total amount of intended purchases plus the value of all Class A shares
previously purchased and still owned. An alternative is to compute the 13-month
period starting up to 90 days before the date of execution of a Letter of
Intent. Each investment made during the period receives the reduced sales charge
applicable to the total amount of the investment goal. If the goal is not
achieved within the period, the investor must pay the difference between the
sales charges applicable to the purchases made and the charges previously paid,
or an appropriate number of escrowed shares will be redeemed. Please contact a
Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data to obtain a Letter of Intent
application.
Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may also be used as a way for investors
to meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares. Such investors
must
23
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
make an initial minimum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the
Portfolio and agree to purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the
same Portfolio within six months from the date of the Letter. If a total
investment of $5,000,000 is not made within the six-month period, all Class Y
shares purchased to date will be transferred to Class A shares, where they will
be subject to all fees (including a service fee of 0.15%) and expenses
applicable to the Portfolio's Class A shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%.
Please contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data for further
information.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVES
"CDSC Shares" are sold at net asset value next determined without an
initial sales charge so that the full amount of an investor's purchase payment
may be immediately invested in the Portfolio. A CDSC, however, may be imposed on
certain redemptions of these shares. "CDSC Shares" are: (a) Class B shares; (b)
Class C shares; and (c) Class A shares that were purchased without an initial
sales charge but subject to a CDSC.
Any applicable CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of
the original cost of the shares being redeemed or their net asset value at the
time of redemption. CDSC Shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a CDSC
to the extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital appreciation
of Portfolio assets; (b) reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions; (c) with respect to Class B shares, shares redeemed more than
five years after their purchase; or (d) with respect to Class C shares and Class
A shares that are CDSC Shares, shares redeemed more than 12 months after their
purchase.
Class C shares and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares are subject to a
1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. In circumstances in which
the CDSC is imposed on Class B shares, the amount of the charge will depend on
the number of years since the shareholder made the purchase payment from which
the amount is being redeemed. Solely for purposes of determining the number of
years since a purchase payment, all purchase payments made during a month will
be aggregated and deemed to have been made on the last day of the preceding
Smith Barney statement month. The following table sets forth the rates of the
charge for redemptions of Class B shares by shareholders:
Year Since Purchase
Payment Was Made CDSC
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
First 4.50%
Second 4.00
Third 3.00
Fourth 2.00
Fifth 1.00
Sixth and thereafter 0.00
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
24
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares eight years
after the date on which they were purchased and thereafter will no longer be
subject to any distribution fees. There will also be converted at that time such
proportion of Class B Dividend Shares owned by the shareholder as the total
number of his or her Class B shares converting at the time bears to the total of
number of outstanding Class B shares (other than Class B Dividend Shares) owned
by the shareholder. See "Prospectus Summary --Alternative Purchase Arrangements
- -- Class B Shares Conversion Feature."
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions
and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest period of
time. The length of time that CDSC Shares acquired through an exchange have been
held will be calculated from the date that the shares exchanged were initially
acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and Portfolio shares
being redeemed will be considered to represent, as applicable, capital
appreciation or dividend and capital gain distribution reinvestments in such
other funds. For Federal income tax purposes, the amount of the CDSC will reduce
the gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on the amount realized on
redemption. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to Smith Barney.
To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B shares at
$10 per share for a cost of $1,000. Subsequently, the investor acquired five
additional shares through dividend reinvestment. During the fifteenth month
after the purchase, the investor decided to redeem $500 of his or her
investment. Assuming at the time of the redemption the net asset value had
appreciated to $12 per share, the value of the investor's shares would be $1,260
(105 shares at $12 per share). The CDSC would not be applied to the amount which
represents appreciation ($200) and the value of the reinvested dividend shares
($60). Therefore, $240 of the $500 redemption proceeds ($500 minus $260) would
be charged at a rate of 4.00% (the applicable rate for Class B shares) for a
total deferred sales charge of $9.60.
WAIVERS OF CDSC
The CDSC will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see "Exchange Privilege"); (b)
automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 1.00% per month of
the value of the shareholder's shares at the time the withdrawal plan commences
(see "Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan") provided, however, that automatic cash
withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares will be permitted for withdrawal plans that were
established prior to November 7, 1994; (c) redemptions of shares within 12
months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (d) involuntary
redemptions; and (e)
25
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
redemptions of shares to effect a combination of the Portfolio with any
investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or other wise. In addition,
a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other funds of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all or part of the
redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit for any CDSC
imposed on the prior redemption.
CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in
the case of shareholders who are also Smith Barney clients or by First Data in
the case of all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status or holdings, as
the case may be.

Class B Exchanges. In the event a Class B shareholder wishes to exchange
all or a portion of his or her shares in any of the funds imposing a higher CDSC
than that imposed by the Portfolio, the exchanged Class B shares will be subject
to the higher applicable CDSC. Upon an exchange, the new Class B shares will be
deemed to have been purchased on the same date as the Class B shares of the
Portfolio that have been exchanged.
Class C Exchanges. Upon an exchange, the new Class C shares will be deemed
to have been purchased on the same date as the Class C shares of the Portfolio
that have been exchanged.
Class A and Class Y Exchanges. Class A and Class Y shareholders of the
Portfolio who wish to exchange all or a portion of their shares for shares of
the respective class in any of the funds identified above may do so without
imposition of any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can
be detrimental to the Portfolio's performance and its shareholders. The Manager
may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is excessive and contrary to
the best interests of the Portfolio's other shareholders. In this event, the
Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional purchases and/or
exchanges by the shareholder. Upon such a determination, the Fund will provide
notice in writing or by telephone to the shareholder at least 15 days prior to
suspending the exchange privilege and during the 15-day period the shareholder
will be required to (a) redeem his or her shares in the Portfolio or (b) remain
invested in the Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds ordinarily available, which position the shareholder would be
expected to maintain for a significant period of time. All relevant factors will
be considered in determining what constitutes an abusive pattern of exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See
"Redemption of Shares -- Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges
will be processed at the net asset value next determined. Redemption procedures
discussed below are also applicable for exchanging shares, and exchanges will be
made upon receipt of all supporting documents in proper form.
28
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exchange Privilege (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is
identical to the registration of the shares of the fund ex changed, no signature
guarantee is required. A capital gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized
upon the exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed.
Before exchanging shares, investors should read the current prospectus
describing the shares to be acquired. The Portfolio reserves the right to modify
or discontinue exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Portfolio tendered to it,
as described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per
share next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no
charge other than any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the
close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next
determined.
If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request for
redemption must specify the Class being redeemed. In the event of a failure to
specify which Class, or if the investor owns fewer shares of the Class than
specified, the redemption request will be delayed until the Fund's transfer
agent receives further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's
account is not with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption
proceeds will be remitted on or before the third business day following receipt
of proper tender, except on any days on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted
under the 1940 Act in extraordinary circumstances. Generally, if the redemption
proceeds are remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds will not
be invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific instruction and Smith
Barney will benefit from the use of temporarily uninvested funds. Redemption
proceeds for shares purchased by check, other than a certified or official bank
check, will be remitted upon clearance of the check, which may take up to 10
days or more.
Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than those
held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group, or by
submitting a written request for redemption to:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are registered.
If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the certificates
must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed stock power) and
must be submitted to First Data together with the redemption request. Any
signature appearing on a share certificate, stock power or written redemption
request in excess of $2,000 must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor
institution such as a domestic bank, savings and loan institution, domestic
credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or member firm of a
national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of $2,000 or less do
not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request
is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an
investor's address of record. First Data may require additional supporting
documents for redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators,
trustees or guardians. A redemption request will not be deemed properly received
until First Data receives all required documents in proper form.
AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
The Portfolio offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under
which shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to
receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. The withdrawal plan
will be carried over on exchanges between funds or Classes of the Portfolio. Any
applicable CDSC will not be waived on amounts with drawn by a shareholder that
exceed 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject to the
CDSC at the time the withdrawal plan commences. With respect to withdrawal plans
in effect prior to November 7, 1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on
amounts withdrawn that do not exceed 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares subject to the CDSC. For further information regarding the
automatic cash withdrawal plan, shareholders should contact a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be
eligible to redeem and exchange Portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a
shareholder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a
signature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon request.
Alternatively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new
account application with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his or
her initial investment in the Portfolio.

<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes
of the Portfolio's shares may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First
Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net
asset value next determined. Redemptions of shares (i) by retirement plans or
(ii) for which certificates have been issued are not permitted under this
program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds
mailed to his or her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated
by the shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as
the case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In
order to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a
member of the Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with a
member bank. The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee
for each wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the
shareholder's account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the
bank account designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must
complete a new Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the
shareholder's assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and
certain other documentation.
Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests may
be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open. Exchange requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are processed at the net
asset value next determined.
Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program. Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following
instructions communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be
genuine. The Fund and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the
identity of the caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a
shareholder's name and account number will be required and phone calls may be
recorded). The Fund reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the
telephone redemption and exchange program or to impose a charge for this service
at any time following at least seven days' prior notice to shareholders.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum Account Size
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund reserves the right to redeem involuntarily any shareholder's
account if the aggregate value of the shares held in a Portfolio account is less
than $500. If a shareholder has more than one account in this Portfolio, each
account must satisfy the minimum account size. The Fund, however, will not
redeem shares based solely on market reductions in net asset value. Before the
Fund exercises such right, shareholders will receive written notice and will be
permitted 60 days to bring the account up to the minimum to avoid involuntary
liquidation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time the Portfolio may include its yield, tax equivalent
yield, total return and average annual total return in advertisements. In
addition, in other types of sales literature the Portfolio may also include its
distribution rate. These figures are computed separately for Class A, Class B,
Class C and Class Y shares of the Portfolio. These figures are based on
historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The
yield of a Portfolio class refers to the net income earned by an investment in
the Class over a 30-day period ending at month end. This net income, which does
not include any element of non-tax exempt income, if any, is then annualized,
i.e., the amount of income earned by the investment during that 30-day period is
assumed to be earned each 30-day period for 12 periods and is expressed as a
percentage of the investment. The net income earned on the investment for six
periods is also assumed to be reinvested at the end of the sixth 30-day period.
The tax equivalent yield is calculated similarly to the yield, except that a
stated income tax rate is used to demonstrate the taxable yield necessary to
produce an after-tax yield equivalent to the tax-exempt yield of the Class. The
yield and tax equivalent yield quotations are calculated according to a formula
prescribed by the SEC to facilitate comparison with yields quoted by other
investment companies. The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the
latest monthly distribution and dividing the result by the maximum offering
price per share as of the end of the period to which the distribution relates.
The distribution rate is not computed in the same manner as, and therefore can
be significantly different from, the above-described yield. Total return is
computed for a specific period of time assuming deduction of the maximum sales
charge, if any, from the initial amount invested and reinvestment of all income

Management of the Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES
Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund
rests with the Fund's Trustees. The Trustees approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and the
Portfolio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manager,
custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Portfolio are
delegated to the Portfolio's investment manager. The Statement of Additional
Information contains background information regarding each Trustee and executive
officer of the Fund.
MANAGER
The Manager manages the day-to-day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to
a management agreement entered into by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio.
SBMFM was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of Delaware. SBMFM, Holdings
and Smith Barney are each located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York
10013. As of May 31, 1997, SBMFM had aggregate assets under management in excess
of $87 billion.
SBMFM provides the Fund with investment management services and executive
and other personnel, pays the remuneration of Fund officers, provides the Fund
with office space and equipment, furnishes the Fund with bookkeeping,
accounting, administrative services and services relating to research,
statistical work and supervision of the Portfolio. At a Meeting of Shareholders
of the Portfolio held on December 15, 1995, the shareholders approved a new
management agreement that increased the effective management fee paid by the
Fund on behalf of the Portfolio from 0.45% to 0.50% of the Portfolio's average
daily net assets. The new management agreement also provides that the
Portfolio's investment manager shall voluntarily reduce its fee to the extent
that in any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio, exclusive of
taxes, brokerage, interest, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and
indemnification expenses, exceed 0.70% of such Portfolio's average daily net
assets. (Certain Class specific expenses, such as 12b-1 fees, will also continue
to be excluded when determining whether the expense limitation applies.)
Previously, the expense limitation was 0.65%. The change in the rate of the
expense limitation corresponds to the change in the rate of the management fee.
33
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management of the Fund (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increased management fee and expense limitation became effective on December
18, 1995.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, total expenses were 0.85% of the
average daily net assets for Class A shares; 1.35% of the average daily net
assets for Class B shares; and 1.40% of the average daily net assets for Class C
shares.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Peter M. Coffey, a Managing Director of Smith Barney, has served as Vice
President of the Fund and portfolio manager of the Portfolio since its
inception (April 2, 1991) and manages the day-to-day operations of the
Portfolio, including making all investment decisions. Mr. Coffey also serves as
the portfolio manager for many of the Fund's other non-money market Portfolios.
Management's discussion and analysis, and additional performance
information regarding the Portfolio during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997
is included in the Annual Report dated March 31, 1997. A copy of the Annual
Report may be obtained upon request and without charge from a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or by writing or calling the Fund at the address or phone
number listed on page one of this Prospectus.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter
and as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts"
arrangement requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as
may be sold to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the
Portfolio under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid
a service fee with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the
Portfolio at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets
attributable to these Classes. Smith Barney is also paid a distribution fee with
respect to Class B and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55%,
respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to these Classes.
Class B shares that automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after
the date of original purchase, will no longer be subject to a distribution fee.
The fees are used by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing
shareholder accounts and, in the case of Class B and Class C shares, to cover
expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of those shares. These
expenses include: advertising expenses; the cost of printing and mailing
prospectuses to potential investors; payments to and expenses of Smith Barney
Financial Consultants and other persons who provide support services in
connection with the distribution of shares; interest and/or carrying charges;
and indirect and overhead
34
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
costs of Smith Barney associated with the sale of Portfolio shares, including
lease, utility, communications and sales promotion expenses.
The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares of a
Class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the
time of sale and, with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, a
continuing fee for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder
remains a holder of that Class. Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive
different levels of compensation for selling the different Classes of shares.
Payments under the Plan with respect to Class B and Class C shares are not
tied exclusively to the distribution and shareholder services expenses actually
incurred by Smith Barney and the payments may exceed distribution expenses
actually incurred. The Fund's Trustees will evaluate the appropriateness of the
Plan and its payment terms on a continuing basis and in so doing will consider
all relevant factors, including expenses borne by Smith Barney, amounts received
under the Plan and proceeds of the CDSC.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund, an open-end, non-diversified management investment company, is
organized as a "Massachusetts business trust" pursuant to a Declaration of Trust
dated August 14, 1985. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have
authorized the issuance of twenty series of shares, each representing shares in
one of twenty separate Portfolios. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated
and separately managed and a shareholder's interest is in the assets of the
Portfolio in which he or she holds shares. Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y
shares of the Portfolio represent interests in the assets of the Portfolio and
have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights on the same terms
and conditions except that expenses related to the shareholder service and
distribution of Class A, Class B and Class C shares are borne solely by the
respective Class and each such Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with
respect to provisions of the Portfolio's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which
pertain to that particular Class. It is the intention of the Fund not to hold
annual meetings of shareholders. The Trustees may call meetings of shareholders
for action by shareholder vote as may be required by the 1940 Act or the
Declaration of Trust, and shareholders are entitled to call a meeting of
shareholders upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's outstanding shares for purposes of
voting on removal of a Trustee or Trustees. Shareholders will receive assistance
in communicating with other shareholders in connection with the removal of
Trustees as required by Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act. Shares do not have
cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights and have only such conversion or
exchange rights as the Trustees may grant in their discretion. When issued for
payment as
35

Additional Information (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
described in this Prospectus, the Fund's shares will be fully paid and
transferrable (subject to the Portfolio's minimum account size). Shares are
redeemable as set forth under "Redemption of Shares" and are subject to
involuntary redemption as set forth under "Minimum Account Size."
PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets,
Philadelphia, PA 19103, serves as custodian of the Portfolio's investments.
First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves
as the Fund's transfer agent.
The Fund sends its shareholders a semi-annual report and an audited annual
report, which include listings of the investment securities held by the
Portfolio at the end of the period covered. In an effort to reduce the Fund's
printing and mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of its
semi-annual and annual reports by household. This consolidation means that a
household having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will
receive a single copy of each report. Shareholders who do not want this
consolidation to apply to their account should contact their Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or the Fund's transfer agent.

the Portfolio, including sales charges, distribution and service fees and
expenses, that prospective investors will find helpful in making an investment
decision. Investors are encouraged to read this Prospectus carefully and retain

Prospectus Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information. Cross references in this summary are to headings in the Prospectus.
See "Table of Contents."
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Portfolio seeks to pay its shareholders as high a
level of income exempt from Federal income taxes and Georgia personal income
taxes as is consistent with prudent investing. The Portfolio will invest
primarily in obligations issued by the State of Georgia and its political
subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities. The Portfolio may invest without
limit in municipal obligations whose interest is a tax-preference item for
purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax. See "Investment Objective and
Management Policies."
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS The Portfolio offers several classes of
shares ("Classes") to investors designed to provide them with the flexibility
of selecting an investment best suited to their needs. The general public is
offered three Classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C
shares, which differ principally in terms of sales charges and rate of expenses
to which they are subject. A fourth Class of shares, Class Y shares, is offered
only to investors meeting an initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. See
"Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares."
Class A Shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial
sales charge of up to 4.00% and are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% of
the average daily net assets of the Class. The initial sales charge may be
reduced or waived for certain purchases. Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000
or more will be made at net asset value with no initial sales charge, but will
be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. See "Prospectus Summary --
Alternative Purchase Arrangements -- Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge."
Class B Shares. Class B shares are offered at net asset value subject to a
maximum CDSC of 4.50% of redemption proceeds, declining by 0.50% the first year
after purchase and by 1.00% each year thereafter to zero. This CDSC may be
waived for certain redemptions. Class B shares are subject to an annual service
fee of 0.15% and an annual distribution fee of 0.50% of the average daily net
assets of the Class. The Class B shares' distribution fee may cause that Class
to have higher expenses and pay lower dividends than Class A shares.
Class B Shares Conversion Feature. Class B shares will convert
automatically to Class A shares, based on relative net asset value, eight years
after the date of the original purchase. Upon conversion, these shares will no
longer be subject to an annual distribution fee. In addition, a certain portion
of Class B shares that have been acquired through the reinvestment of dividends
and distributions ("Class B
3
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividend Shares") will be converted at that time. See "Purchase of Shares --
Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."
Class C Shares. Class C shares are sold at net asset value with no initial
sales charge. They are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% and an annual
distribution fee of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Class and
investors pay a CDSC of 1.00% if they redeem Class C shares within 12 months of
purchase. The CDSC may be waived for certain redemptions. The Class C shares'
distribution fee may cause that Class to have higher expenses and pay lower
dividends than Class A shares. Purchases of Portfolio shares, which when
combined with current holdings of Class C shares of the Portfolio equal or
exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, should be made in Class A shares at net asset
value with no sales charge, and will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are available only to investors meeting an
initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. Class Y shares are sold at net asset
value with no initial sales charge or CDSC. They are not subject to any service
or distribution fees.
In deciding which Class of Portfolio shares to purchase, investors should
consider the following factors, as well as any other relevant facts and
circumstances:
Intended Holding Period. The decision as to which Class of shares is more
beneficial to an investor depends on the amount and intended duration of his or
her investment. Shareholders who are planning to establish a program of regular
investment may wish to consider Class A shares; as the investment accumulates
shareholders may qualify for reduced sales charges and the shares are subject
to lower ongoing expenses over the term of the investment. As an alternative,
Class B and Class C shares are sold without any initial sales charge so their
entire purchase price is immediately invested in the Portfolio. Any investment
return on these additional invested amounts may partially or wholly offset the
higher annual expenses of these Classes. Because the Portfolio's future return
cannot be predicted, however, there can be no assurance that this would be the
case.
Finally, investors should consider the effect of the CDSC period and any
conversion rights of the Classes in the context of their own investment time
frame. For example, while Class C shares have a shorter CDSC period than Class B
shares, they do not have a conversion feature and therefore are subject to an
ongoing distribution fee. Thus, Class B shares may be more attractive than Class
C shares to investors with longer-term investment outlooks.
Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge. The initial sales charge on Class A
shares may be waived for certain eligible purchasers and the entire purchase
price would be immediately invested in the Portfolio. In addition, Class A share
purchases of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset value with no initial
sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within
12 months of
4

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
purchase. The $500,000 investment may be met by adding the purchase to the net
asset value of all Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in funds
sponsored by Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") listed under "Exchange
Privilege." Class A share purchases may also be eligible for a reduced initial
sales charge. See "Purchase of Shares." Because the ongoing expenses of Class A
shares may be lower than those for Class B and Class C shares, purchasers
eligible to purchase Class A shares at net asset value or at a reduced sales
charge should consider doing so.
Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different compensation for
selling different Classes of shares. Investors should understand that the
purpose of the CDSC on the Class B and Class C shares is the same as that of the
initial sales charge on the Class A shares.
See "Purchase of Shares" and "Management of the Fund" for a complete
description of the sales charges and service and distribution fees for each
Class of shares and "Valuation of Shares," "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes"
and "Exchange Privilege" for other differences between the Classes of shares.
PURCHASE OF SHARES Shares may be purchased through a brokerage account
maintained with Smith Barney. Shares may also be purchased through a broker that
clears securities transactions through Smith Barney on a fully disclosed basis
(an "Introducing Broker") or an investment dealer in the selling group. See
"Purchase of Shares."
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may
open an account by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each
account. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account for an initial
investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for
all Classes. The minimum initial investment requirement for purchases of
Portfolio shares through the Systematic Investment Plan are described below. It
is not recommended that the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or
other qualified retirement plans. There is no minimum investment requirement
in Class A for unitholders who invest distributions from a unit investment trust
("UIT") sponsored by Smith Barney. See "Purchase of Shares."
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Portfolio offers shareholders a Systematic
Investment Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a
purchase order each month or quarter for Portfolio shares. The minimum
investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the
subsequent investment requirement for all Classes for shareholders purchasing
shares through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis is $25, and on
a quarterly basis is $50. See "Purchase of Shares"
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of Shares" and
"Redemption of Shares."
MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIO Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc.
("SBMFM" or the "Manager") serves as the Portfolio's
5
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
investment manager. SBMFM provides investment advisory and management services
to investment companies affiliated with Smith Barney. SBMFM is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc. ("Travelers"), a diversified financial
services holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries, principally in four
business segments: Investment Services, Consumer Finance Services, Life
Insurance Services and Property & Casualty Insurance Services. See "Management
of the Fund."
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shares of a Class may be exchanged for shares of the
same Class of certain other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the
respective net asset values next determined. See "Exchange Privilege."
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Portfolio for the prior day
generally is quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is
also available from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of
Shares."
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income
are paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid
annually. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of a
Class will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an
investor, in additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value.
Shares acquired by dividend and distribution reinvestments will not be subject
to any sales charge or CDSC. Class B shares acquired through dividend and
distribution reinvestments will become eligible for conversion to Class A
shares on a pro rata basis. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that the
Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The Portfolio's concentration
in Georgia obligations involves certain additional risks that should be care
fully considered by an investor. Additionally, the value of the Portfolio's
investments, and thus the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares, will
fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as well as
the financial condition and prospects of issuers of municipal obligations
purchased by the Portfolio. The market value of long-term municipal bonds may be
adversely affected during periods of rising interest rates. Additionally,
changes in Federal income tax laws affecting the tax exemption for interest on
municipal obligations could affect the availability of tax-exempt obligations
for purchase and the value of the Portfolio's securities would be affected. See
"Investment Objective and Management Policies."

THE PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and
expenses an investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a shareholder
of the Portfolio, based on the maximum sales charge or maximum CDSC that may be
incurred at the time of purchase or redemption and, unless otherwise noted, the
Portfolio's operating expenses for its most recent fiscal year:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset
value with no sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
** "Management fees" have been restated to reflect the management fee
waiver currently in effect for the Portfolio. Absent the fee waiver, the
management fee would be incurred at the rate of 0.45% of each Class' average
daily net assets for the current fiscal period. Absent the fee waiver, total
expenses would be incurred at the rates of 90%, 1.42%, 1.46% and 0.75% for Class
A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively.
*** Upon conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares such shares will no
longer be subject to a distribution fee. Class C shares do not have a conversion
feature and, therefore, are subject to an ongoing distribution fee. As a result,
long-term shareholders of Class C shares may pay more than the economic
equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
**** For Class Y shares, "Other expenses" have been estimated because no
Class Y shares were outstanding for the period ended March 31, 1997.
Class A shares of the Portfolio purchased through the Smith Barney AssetOne
Program will be subject to an annual asset-based fee, payable quarterly, in lieu
of the initial sales charge. The fee will vary to a maximum of 1.5%, depending
on the amount of assets held through the Program. For more information, please
call your Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
The sales charge and CDSC set forth in the above table are the maximum
charges imposed on purchases or redemptions of Portfolio shares and investors
may

<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
actually pay lower or no charges, depending on the amount purchased and, in
the case of Class B, Class C and certain Class A shares, the length of time the
shares are held. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares." Smith
Barney receives an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.15% of the value of average
daily net assets of Class A shares. Smith Barney also receives with respect to
Class B shares an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.65% of the value of average daily net
assets of that Class, consisting of a 0.50% distribution fee and a 0.15% service
fee. With respect to Class C shares, Smith Barney also receives an annual 12b-1
fee of 0.70% of the value of average daily net assets of that Class, consisting
of a 0.55% distribution fee and a 0.15% service fee. "Other expenses" in the
above table include fees for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and
accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees.
EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding
the various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or
indirectly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses
at the levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares,"
"Redemption of Shares" and "Management of the Fund."
Georgia Portfolio 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years*
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investor would pay the following expenses
on a $1,000 investment, assuming (1) 5.00%
annual return and (2) redemption at the end
of each time period:
Class A................................ $48 $64 $82 $133
Class B................................ 58 71 81 142
Class C................................ 24 42 73 161
Class Y................................ 6 20 35 79
An investor would pay the following expenses
on the same investment, assuming the same
annual return and no redemption:
Class A................................ $48 $64 $82 $133
Class B................................ 13 41 71 142
Class C................................ 14 42 73 161
Class Y................................ 6 20 35 79
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Ten-year figures assume conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares at
the end of the eighth year following the date of purchase.
The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense
levels of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods.
To facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, the Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. This example should not be considered a
representation of past or future expenses, and actual expenses may be greater or
less than those shown.

Investment Objective and Management Policies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio seeks as high a level of income exempt from Federal income
taxes and from the personal income taxes of the State of Georgia as is
consistent with prudent investing. The Portfolio will invest primarily in
obligations of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions, agencies and
instrumentalities, the interest from which is, in the opinion of bond counsel
for the various issuers, exempt from state as well as Federal income taxes at
the time of their issuance. For certain shareholders, a portion of the
Portfolio's income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax ("AMT") on
tax-exempt income discussed below. Such obligations are issued to raise money
for a variety of public projects that enhance the quality of life including
health facilities, housing, airports, schools, highways and bridges. The
Portfolio invests its assets in securities of ranging maturities, without
limitation, depending on market conditions. Typically, the remaining maturity of
municipal bonds will range between 5 and 30 years.
The two principal classifications of municipal obligations are "general
obligation" and "revenue." General obligations are secured by a municipal
issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest. Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases,
from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source.
Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed
discussion about the different types of municipal obligations.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest income from municipal
obligations issued to finance certain "private activities" ("AMT-Subject Bonds")
becomes an item of "tax preference" which is subject to the AMT when received by
a person in a tax year during which he is subject to that tax. Such private
activity bonds include bonds issued to finance such projects as certain solid
waste disposal facilities, student loan programs and water and sewage projects.
Because interest income on AMT-Subject Bonds is taxable to certain investors, it
is expected, although there can be no guarantee, that such municipal obligations
generally will provide somewhat higher yields than other municipal obligations
of comparable quality and maturity. There is no limitation on the percent or
amount of the Portfolio's assets that may be invested in AMT-Subject Bonds.
Municipal bonds purchased for the Portfolio must, at the time of purchase,
be investment-grade municipal bonds and at least two-thirds of the Portfolio's
municipal bonds must be rated in the category of A or better. Investment-grade
bonds are those rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") and AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or
have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization; pre-refunded bonds escrowed by U.S. Treasury obligations will be
considered AAA rated even though the issuer does not obtain a new rating. Up to
one-third of the assets of the Portfolio may be invested in municipal bonds
rated Baa
11
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or BBB (this grade, while regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal, is considered to be of medium quality and has
speculative characteristics) or in unrated municipal bonds if, based upon credit
analysis by the Manager, it is believed that such securities are at least of
comparable quality to those securities in which the Portfolio may invest. In
determining the suitability of an investment in an unrated municipal bond, the
Manager will take into consideration debt service coverage, the purpose of the
financing, history of the issuer, existence of other rated securities of the
issuer and other general conditions as may be relevant, including comparability
to other issues. After the Portfolio purchases a municipal bond, the issue may
cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum required for
purchase. Such an event would not require the elimination of the issue from the
Portfolio but the Manager will consider such an event in determining whether the
Portfolio should continue to hold the security.
The Portfolio's short-term municipal obligations will be limited to
high-grade obligations (obligations that are secured by the full faith and
credit of the United States or are rated MIG 1 or MIG 2, VMIG 1 or VMIG 2 or
Prime-1 or Aa or better by Moody's or SP-1+, SP-1, SP-2, or A-1 or AA or better
by S&P or have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical
rating organization or obligations determined by the Manager to be equivalent).
Among the types of short-term instruments in which the Portfolio may invest are
floating- or variable-rate demand instruments, tax-exempt commercial paper
(generally having a maturity of less than nine months), and other types of notes
generally having maturities of less than three years, such as Tax Anticipation
Notes, Revenue Anticipation Notes, Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes and Bond
Anticipation Notes. Demand instruments usually have an indicated maturity of
over one year, but contain a demand feature that enables the holder to redeem
the investment on no more than 30 days' notice; variable-rate demand instruments
provide for automatic establishment of a new interest rate on set dates;
floating-rate demand instruments provide for automatic adjustment of their
interest rates whenever some other specified interest rate changes (e.g., the
prime rate). The Portfolio may purchase participation interests in variable-rate
tax-exempt securities (such as industrial development bonds) owned by banks.
Participations are frequently backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or
guarantee of a bank that the Manager has determined meets the prescribed quality
standards for the Portfolio. Participation interests will be purchased only if
management believes interest income on such interests will be tax exempt when
distributed as dividends to shareholders.
The Portfolio will not invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets
in illiquid securities, including those that are not readily marketable or for
which there is no established market.
The Portfolio may purchase new issues of municipal obligations on a
when-issued basis, i.e. delivery and payment normally take place 15 to 45 days
after the
12
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
purchase date. The payment obligation and the interest rate to be received are
each fixed on the purchase date, although no interest accrues with respect to a
when-issued security prior to its stated delivery date. During the period
between purchase and settlement, assets consisting of cash or debt securities of
any grade having a value equal to or greater than the Portfolio's purchase
commitments, provided such securities have been determined by the Manager to be
liquid and unencumbered and are marked to market daily pursuant to guidelines
established by the Trustees, will be segregated at the custodian bank. Interest
rates at settlement may be lower or higher than on the purchase date, which
would result in appreciation or depreciation, respectively. Although a Portfolio
will only purchase municipal obligations on a when-issued basis with the
intention of actually acquiring the securities, the Portfolio may sell these
securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable.
Portfolio transactions will be undertaken primarily to accomplish the
Portfolio's objective in relation to anticipated movements in the general level
of interest rates, but the Portfolio may also engage in short-term trading
consistent with its objective.
The Portfolio may invest in municipal bond index futures contracts
(currently traded on the Chicago Board of Trade) or in listed contracts based on
U.S. government securities as a hedging policy in pursuit of its investment
objective, provided that immediately thereafter not more than 33 1/3% of its net
assets would be hedged or the amount of margin deposits on the Portfolio's
existing futures contracts would not exceed 5% of the value of its total assets.
Since any income would be taxable, it is anticipated that such investments will
be made only in those circumstances when the Manager anticipates the possibility
of an extreme change in interest rates or market conditions but does not wish to
liquidate the Portfolio's securities. A further discussion of futures contracts
and their associated risks is contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.
The Portfolio may invest in zero coupon bonds. A zero coupon bond pays no
interest in cash to its holder during its life, although interest is accrued
during that period. Its value to an investor consists of the difference between
its face value at the time of maturity and the price for which it was acquired,
which is generally an amount significantly less that its face value (sometimes
referred to as a "deep discount" price). Because such securities usually trade
at a deep discount, they will be subject to greater fluctuations of market value
in response to changing interest rates than debt obligations of comparable
maturities which make periodic distributions of interest. On the other hand,
because there are no periodic interest payments to be reinvested prior to
maturity, zero coupon securities eliminate the reinvestment risk and lock in a
rate of return to maturity.
13
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a fundamental policy that, under normal market conditions, the
Portfolio will seek to invest 100% of its assets -- and the Portfolio will
invest not less than 80% of its assets -- in municipal obligations the interest
on which is exempt from Federal income taxes (other than the AMT). It is also a
fundamental policy that, under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will
invest at least 65% of its assets in municipal obligations the interest on which
is also exempt from the personal income taxes of the State of Georgia in the
opinion of bond counsel to the issuers. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of
its assets in taxable fixed-income securities, but only in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States, and may invest
more than 20% of its assets in U.S. government securities during periods when in
the Manager's opinion a temporary defensive posture is warranted, including any
period when the Portfolio's monies available for investment exceed the municipal
obligations available for purchase that meet the Portfolio's rating, maturity
and other investment criteria. To the extent the Portfolio is so invested, the
investment objective may not be achieved.
RISK AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objective is
dependent on a number of factors, including the skills of the Manager in
purchasing municipal obligations whose issuers have the continuing ability to
meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The
ability to achieve a high level of income is dependent on the yields of the
securities in the portfolio. Yields on municipal obligations are the product of
a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the municipal bond
markets, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and
the rating of the issue. In general, the longer the maturity of a municipal
obligation, the higher the rate of interest it pays. However, a longer average
maturity is generally associated with a higher level of volatility in the market
value of a municipal obligation. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values of long-term municipal obligations generally rise. Conversely, during
periods of rising interest rates, the values of such securities generally
decline. Changes in the value of Portfolio securities will not affect interest
income derived from those securities but will affect the Portfolio's net asset
value. Since the Portfolio's objective is to provide high current income, it
will invest in municipal obligations with an emphasis on income rather than
stability of net asset value.
The Fund is registered as a "non-diversified" company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") in order for the Portfolio to
have the ability to invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any
issuer. The Portfolio intends to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") which limits the aggregate value
of all holdings (except U.S. government and cash items, as defined in the Code)
that exceed 5% of the Portfolio's total assets to an aggregate amount of 50% of
such assets. Also, holdings of a single issuer (with the same exceptions) may
not exceed 25% of the
14
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portfolio's total assets. These limits are measured at the end of each quarter.
Under the Subchapter M limits, non-diversification allows up to 50% of the
Portfolio's total assets to be invested in as few as two single issuers. In the
event of decline in creditworthiness of, or default upon, the obligations of one
or more such issuers exceeding 5%, an investment in the Portfolio will entail
greater risk than in a portfolio having a policy of diversification because a
high percentage of the Portfolio's assets may be invested in municipal
obligations of one or two issuers. Furthermore, a high percentage of investments
among few issuers may result in a greater degree of fluctuation in the market
value of the assets of the Portfolio, and consequently a greater degree of
fluctuation of the Portfolio's net asset value, because the Portfolio will be
more susceptible to economic, political, or regulatory developments affecting
these securities than would be the case with a portfolio composed of varied
obligations of more issuers.
RISK FACTORS AFFECTING GEORGIA
Georgia's economy has experienced sustained economic expansion, a low debt
burden, conservative fiscal management and a generally strong financial
position. Since 1986, Georgia's employment gains substantially exceeded that of
the region and the U.S. Despite slower growth since the end of 1996, the
long-term rate of increase is still expected to exceed the national average.
While general obligation debt issuances have increased recently, debt burden
remains low and the retirement schedule is rapid. The Portfolio's ability to
achieve its investment objective is dependent upon the ability of the issuers of
Georgia obligations to meet their continuing obligations for the payment of
principal and interest. The Portfolio's concentration in Georgia obligations
involves certain additional risks that should be considered carefully by
investors. Certain Georgia constitutional and statutory limitations with respect
to indebtedness incurred by Georgia's governmental entities, departments and
agencies could result in certain adverse consequences affecting Georgia's
obligations and may have the effect of impairing the ability of certain issuers
of Georgia obligations to pay principal and interest on their obligations.
Additional information regarding the state is included in the Statement of
Additional Information.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
Portfolio securities ordinarily are purchased from and sold to parties
acting as either principal or agent. Newly issued securities ordinarily are
purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter; other purchases and
sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it appears that the best
price or execution will be obtained. Usually no brokerage commissions, as such,
are paid by the Portfolio for purchases and sales undertaken through principal
transactions, although the price paid usually includes an undisclosed
compensation to the dealer acting as agent.
15
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valuation of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio cannot accurately predict its portfolio turnover rate, but
anticipates that the annual turnover will not exceed 100%. An annual turnover
rate of 100% would occur when all of the securities held by the Portfolio are
replaced one time during a period of one year. The Manager will not consider
turnover rate a limiting factor in making investment decisions consistent with
the investment objective and policies of the Portfolio. See "Financial
Highlights" for the Portfolio's annual turnover rate during each year since
inception
The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, which is currently 4:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the Portfolio's net assets
attributable to each Class by the total number of shares of the Class
outstanding.
When, in the judgment of the pricing service, quoted bid prices for
investments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the
market, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and
asked prices. Investments for which, in the judgment of the pricing service,
there are no readily obtainable market quotations (which may constitute a
majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value of securities of
similar type, yield and maturity. Pricing services generally determine value by
reference to transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal
bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various
relationships between securities. Short-term instruments maturing within 60 days
will be valued at cost plus (minus) amortized discount (premium), if any, when
the Trustees have determined that amortized cost equals fair value. Securities
and other assets that are not priced by a pricing service and for which market
quotations are not available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or
under the direction of the Trustees.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from the Portfolio's net investment income are declared and paid
monthly and any realized capital gains are declared and distributed annually.
If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gain
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the same
Class at net asset value, subject to no sales charge or CDSC.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions that are invested are
credited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value
as of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the
option at any time by notifying his or her Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Accounts held directly by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor
Services Group, Inc. ("First Data")
16
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
should notify First Data in writing at least five business days prior to the
payment date to permit the change to be entered in the shareholder's account.
The per share dividends on Class B and Class C shares of the Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class A and Class Y shares principally
as a result of the distribution fee applicable with respect to Class B and Class
C shares. The per share dividends on Class A shares of the Port folio may be
lower than the per share dividends on Class Y shares principally as a result of
the service fee applicable to Class A shares. Distributions of capital gains, if
any, will be in the same amount for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y
shares.
TAXES
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" and to
meet the requirements for distributing "exempt-interest dividends" under the
Code so that no Federal income taxes will be payable by the Portfolio and
dividends representing net interest received on municipal obligations will not
be includable by shareholders in their gross income for Federal income tax
purposes. To the extent dividends are derived from taxable income from temporary
investments, market discounts or from the excess of net short-term capital gain
over net long-term capital loss, they are treated as ordinary income whether the
shareholder has elected to receive them in cash or in additional shares.
Capital gains distributions, if any, whether paid in cash or invested in shares
of the Portfolio, will be taxable to shareholders.
Exempt-interest dividends allocable to interest received by the Portfolio
from the AMT-Subject Bonds in which the Portfolio may invest will be treated as
interest paid directly on such obligations and will give rise to an "item of tax
preference" that will increase a shareholder's alternative minimum taxable
income. In addition, for corporations, alternative minimum taxable income will
be increased by a percentage of the amount by which a special measure of income
(including exempt-interest dividends) exceeds the amount otherwise determined to
be alternative minimum taxable income. Accordingly, investment in the Portfolio
may cause shareholders to be subject to (or result in an increased liability
under) the AMT. The Fund will annually furnish to its shareholders a report
indicating the ratable portion of exempt-interest dividends attributable to
AMT-Subject Bonds.
The Portfolio will be treated as a separate regulated investment company
for Federal tax purposes. Accordingly, the Portfolio's net investment income is
determined separately based on the income earned on its securities less its
costs of operations. The Portfolio's net long-term and short-term gain (loss)
realized on investments is determined after offsetting any capital loss
carryover of the Portfolio from prior periods.
Under the Code, interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase
or
17
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
carry shares of the Portfolio will not be deductible to the extent that the
Portfolio's distributions are exempt from Federal income tax. In addition, any
loss realized upon the redemption of shares held less than six months will be
disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends received by the
shareholder during such period. Further, persons who may be "substantial users"
(or "related persons" of substantial users) of facilities financed by industrial
development bonds should consult their tax advisers concerning an investment in
the Portfolio.
GEORGIA TAXES
Dividends and distributions by the Portfolio to a Georgia resident that are
attributable to interest on Georgia municipal obligations or direct obligations
of the United States and its territories and possessions will not be subject to
the State of Georgia income tax. Dividends or other distributions by the
Portfolio which are attributable to other sources, including all distributions
that qualify as capital gains dividends for Federal income tax purposes, will be
subject to the State of Georgia income tax at the applicable rate. There is no
specific statutory or regulatory exception that would exempt shares of a
regulated investment company, including regulated investment companies that only
hold municipal obligations or other direct obligations of the United States and
its territories and possessions, from the Georgia intangibles tax. Except, the
Georgia Department of Revenue has now conceded that the intangibles tax does not
apply to shares of a mutual fund or a unit investment trust to the extent the
value of the shares reflects the value of U.S. government securities held by the
fund, if the fund or trust is organized as a business trust.
Investors purchasing municipal obligations of their state of residence, or
a fund comprised of such obligations, should recognize that the benefits of the
exemption from local taxes, in addition to the exemption from Federal taxes,
necessarily limits the Portfolio's ability to diversify geographically. The
Portfolio will make available annually to its shareholders information
concerning the tax status of its distributions, including the amount of its
dividends designated as exempt-interest dividends and as capital gains
dividends.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important tax
considerations generally affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders.
Additional tax information of revelance to particular investors is contained in
the Statement of Additional Information. Investors are urged to consult their
tax advisers with specific reference to their own tax situation.

Purchase of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Portfolio offers four Classes of shares. Class A shares are sold to
investors with an initial sales charge and Class B and Class C shares are sold
without an initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC payable upon certain
redemptions. Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales charge or CDSC and
are available only to investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000 (except for
purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc., for
which there is no minimum purchase amount). See "Prospectus Summary --
Alternative Purchase Arrangements" for a discussion of factors to consider in
selecting which Class of shares to purchase.
Purchases of Portfolio shares must be made through a brokerage account
maintained with Smith Barney, an Introducing Broker or an investment dealer in
the selling group. When purchasing shares of the Portfolio, investors must
specify whether the purchase is for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Y shares.
Smith Barney and other broker-dealers may charge their customers an annual
account maintenance fee in connection with a brokerage account through which an
investor purchases or holds shares. Accounts held directly at First Data are not
subject to a maintenance fee.
Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may open an account by
making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account in the
Portfolio. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account by making an initial
investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for
all Classes. For shareholders purchasing shares of the Portfolio through the
Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis, the minimum initial investment
requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the subsequent
investment requirement for all Classes is $25. For shareholders purchasing
shares of the Portfolio through the Systematic Investment Plan on a quarterly
basis, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class
C shares and the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes is $50.00.
There are no mini mum investment requirements in Class A for employees of
Travelers and its subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, and Trustees or
Directors of any of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds and their spouses and
children. The Fund reserves the right to waive or change minimums, to decline
any order to purchase its shares and to suspend the offering of shares from time
to time. Shares purchased will be held in the shareholder's account by the
Fund's transfer agent, First Data. Share certificates are issued only upon a
shareholder's written request to First Data. It is not recommended that the
Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or other qualified retirement
plans.
The minimum initial investment requirement in the Portfolio for an account
established under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act is $250 and the subsequent
investment requirement is $50.

are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day (the "trade
date"). Orders received by dealers or introducing brokers prior to the close of
regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net asset
value, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day,
provided the order is received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to Smith
Barney's close of business. For shares purchased through Smith Barney or
Introducing Brokers purchasing through Smith Barney, payment for Portfolio
shares is due on the third business day after the trade date. In all other
cases, payment must be made with the purchase order.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Shareholders may make additions to their accounts at any time by purchasing
shares through a service known as the Systematic Investment Plan. Under the
Systematic Investment Plan, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized through
pre-authorized transfers of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least $50 on
a quarterly basis to charge the regular bank account or other financial
institution indicated by the shareholder to provide systematic additions to the
shareholder's Portfolio account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to
complete the transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or
First Data. The Systematic Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply
cash held in the shareholder's Smith Barney brokerage account or redeem the
shareholder's shares of a Smith Barney money market fund to make additions to
the account. Additional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE - CLASS A SHARES
The sales charges applicable to purchases of Class A shares of the
Portfolio are as follows:
================================================================================
Sales Charge
------------ Dealer's
% of % of Amount Reallowance as % of
Amount of Investment Offering Price Invested Offering Price
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than $25,000 4.00% 4.17% 3.60%
$25,000 - 49,999 3.50 3.63 3.15

250,000-449,999 1.50 1.52 1.25
500,000 and over* * * *
================================================================================
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset
value without any initial sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00%
on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC on Class A shares is
payable to Smith Barney, which compensates Smith Barney Financial Consultants
and other dealers whose clients make purchases of $500,000 or more. The CDSC is
waived in the same circumstances in which the CDSC applicable to Class B and
Class C shares is waived. See "Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives" and "Waivers
of CDSC."

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Members of the selling group may receive up to 90% of the sales charge and
may be deemed to be underwriters of the Fund as defined in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
The reduced sales charges shown above apply to the aggregate of purchases
of Class A shares of the Portfolio made at one time by "any person," which
includes an individual and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or other
fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary account.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE WAIVERS
Purchases of Class A shares may be made at net asset value without a sales
charge in the following circumstances: (a) sales to (i) Board members and
employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries and any of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds (including retired Board members and employees); the immediate families of
such persons (including the surviving spouse of a deceased Board member or
employee); and to a pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for such
persons and (ii) employees of members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., provided such sales are made upon the assurance of the purchaser
that the purchase is made for investment purposes and that the securities will
not be resold except through redemption or repurchase; (b) offers of Class A
shares to any other investment company to effect the combination of such
company with the Portfolio by merger, acquisition of assets or other wise; (c)
purchases of Class A shares by any client of a newly employed Smith Barney
Financial Consultant (for a period up to 90 days from the commencement of the
Financial Consultant's employment with Smith Barney), on the condition the
purchase of Class A shares is made with the proceeds of the redemption of shares
of a mutual fund which (i) was sponsored by the Financial Consultant's prior
employer, (ii) was sold to the client by the Financial Consultant and (iii) was
subject to a sales charge; (d) purchases by shareholders who have redeemed Class
A shares in the Portfolio (or Class A shares of another fund of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds that are sold with a sales charge) and who wish to reinvest their
redemption proceeds in the Portfolio, provided the reinvestment is made within
60 calendar days of the redemption; (e) purchases by accounts managed by
registered investment advisory subsidiaries of Travelers; (f) investments of
distributions from a UIT sponsored by Smith Barney and (g) purchases by
investors participating in a Smith Barney fee-based arrangement. In order to
obtain such discounts, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at
the time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase would qualify for
the elimination of the sales charge.
RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION
Class A shares of a Portfolio may be purchased by "any person" (as defined
above) at a reduced sales charge or at net asset value determined by aggregating
the dollar amount of the new purchase and the total net asset value of all Class
A shares
21
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of the Portfolio and of funds sponsored by Smith Barney which are
offered with a sales charge listed under "Exchange Privilege" then held by such
person and applying the sales charge applicable to such aggregate. In order to
obtain such discount, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the
time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the
reduced sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to modification or
discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares purchased thereafter.
GROUP PURCHASES
Upon completion of certain automated systems, a reduced sales charge or
purchase at net asset value will also be available to employees (and partners)
of the same employer purchasing as a group, provided each participant makes the
minimum initial investment required. The sales charge applicable to purchases by
each member of such a group will be determined by the table set forth under
"Initial Sales Charge Alternative -- Class A Shares," and will be based upon the
aggregate sales of Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered with a
sales charge to, and share holdings of, all members of the group. To be eligible
for such reduced sales charges or to purchase at net asset value, all purchases
must be made pursuant to an employer- or partnership-sanctioned plan meeting
certain requirements. One such requirement is that the plan must be open to
specified partners or employees of the employer and its subsidiaries, if any.
Such plan may, but is not required to, provide for payroll deductions. Smith
Barney may also offer a reduced sales charge or net asset value purchase for
aggregating related fiduciary accounts under such conditions that Smith Barney
will realize economies of sales efforts and sales-related expenses. An
individual who is a member of a qualified group may also purchase Class A shares
of the Portfolio at the reduced sales charge applicable to the group as a whole.
The sales charge is based upon the aggregate dollar value of Class A shares
offered with a sales charge that have been previously purchased and are still
owned by the group, plus the amount of the current purchase. A "qualified group"
is one which (a) has been in existence for more than six months, (b) has a
purpose other than acquiring Portfolio shares at a discount and (c) satisfies
uniform criteria which enable Smith Barney to realize economies of scale in its
costs of distributing shares. A qualified group must have more than 10 members,
must be available to arrange for group meetings between representatives of the
Portfolio and the members and must agree to include sales and other materials
related to the Portfolio in its publications and mailings to members at no cost
to Smith Barney. In order to obtain such reduced sales charge or to purchase at
net asset value, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time
of purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced
sales charge. Approval of group purchase reduced sales charge plans is subject
to the discretion of Smith Barney.

Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LETTER OF INTENT
Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for amounts of $50,000 or more provides
an opportunity for an investor to obtain a reduced sales charge by aggregating
investments over a 13-month period, provided that the investor refers to such
Letter when placing orders. For purposes of a Letter of Intent, the "Amount of
Investment" as referred to in the preceding sales charge table includes
purchases of all Class A shares of the Portfolio and other funds of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds offered with a sales charge over the 13-month period based
on the total amount of intended purchases plus the value of all Class A shares
previously purchased and still owned. An alternative is to compute the 13-month
period starting up to 90 days before the date of execution of a Letter of
Intent. Each investment made during the period receives the reduced sales charge
applicable to the total amount of the investment goal. If the goal is not
achieved within the period, the investor must pay the difference between the
sales charges applicable to the purchases made and the charges previously paid,
or an appropriate number of escrowed shares will be redeemed. Please contact a
Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data to obtain a Letter of Intent
application.
Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may also be used as a way for investors
to meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares. Such investors
must make an initial minimum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the
Portfolio and agree to purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the
same Portfolio within six months from the date of the Letter. If a total
investment of $5,000,000 is not made within the six-month period, all Class Y
shares purchased to date will be transferred to Class A shares, where they will
be subject to all fees (including a service fee of 0.15%) and expenses
applicable to the Portfolio's Class A shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%.
Please contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data for further
information.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVES
"CDSC Shares" are sold at net asset value next determined without an
initial sales charge so that the full amount of an investor's purchase payment
may be immediately invested in the Portfolio. A CDSC, however, may be imposed on
certain redemptions of these shares. "CDSC Shares" are (a) Class B shares; (b)
Class C shares; and (c) Class A shares that were purchased without an initial
sales charge but subject to a CDSC.
Any applicable CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of
the original cost of the shares being redeemed or their net asset value at the
time of redemption. CDSC Shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a CDSC
to the extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital appreciation
of Portfolio assets; (b) reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions; (c) with respect to Class B shares, shares redeemed more than
five years after their purchase; or
23
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(d) with respect to Class C shares and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares,
shares redeemed more than 12 months after their purchase.
Class C shares and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares are subject to a
1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. In circumstances in which
the CDSC is imposed on Class B shares, the amount of the charge will depend on
the number of years since the shareholder made the purchase payment from which
the amount is being redeemed. Solely for purposes of deter mining the number of
years since a purchase payment, all purchase payments made during a month will
be aggregated and deemed to have been made on the last day of the preceding
Smith Barney statement month. The following table sets forth the rates of the
charge for redemptions of Class B shares by shareholders:
Year Since Purchase
Payment Was Made CDSC
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First 4.50%
Second 4.00
Third 3.00
Fourth 2.00
Fifth 1.00
Sixth and thereafter 0.00
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares eight years
after the date on which they were purchased and thereafter will no longer be
subject to any distribution fees. There will also be converted at that time such
proportion of Class B Dividend Shares owned by the shareholder as the total
number of his or her Class B shares converting at the time bears to the total
number of outstanding Class B shares (other than Class B Dividend Shares) owned
by the shareholder. See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements
- -- Class B Shares Conversion Feature."
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions
and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest period of
time. The length of time that CDSC Shares acquired through an exchange have been
held will be calculated from the date that the shares exchanged were initially
acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and Portfolio shares
being redeemed will be considered to represent, as applicable, capital
appreciation or dividend and capital gain distribution reinvestments in such
other funds. For Federal income tax purposes, the amount of the CDSC will
reduce the gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on the amount realized
on redemption. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to Smith Barney.
To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B shares at
$10 per share for a cost of $1,000. Subsequently, the investor acquired five
24
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
additional shares through dividend reinvestment. During the fifteenth month
after the purchase, the investor decided to redeem $500 of his or her
investment. Assuming at the time of the redemption the net asset value had
appreciated to $12 per share, the value of the investor's shares would be $1,260
(105 shares at $12 per share). The CDSC would not be applied to the amount which
represents appreciation ($200) and the value of the reinvested dividend shares
($60). Therefore, $240 of the $500 redemption proceeds ($500 minus $260) would
be charged at a rate of 4.00% (the applicable rate for Class B shares) for a
total deferred sales charge of $9.60.
WAIVERS OF CDSC
The CDSC will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see "Exchange Privilege"); (b)
automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 1.00% per month of
the value of the shareholder's shares at the time the withdrawal plan commences
(see "Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan"), provided, however, that automatic cash
withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per month of the value of
the shareholder's shares will be permitted for withdrawal plans that were
established prior to November 7, 1994; (c) redemptions of shares within 12
months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (d) involuntary
redemptions; and (e) redemptions of shares to effect a combination of the
Portfolio with any investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or
otherwise. In addition, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other funds
of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all
or part of the redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit
for any CDSC imposed on the prior redemption.
CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in
the case of shareholders who are also Smith Barney clients or by First Data in
the case of all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status or holdings, as
the case may be.

Exchange Privilege (continued)

Portfolio who wish to exchange all or a portion of their shares for shares of
the respective Class in any of the funds identified above may do so without
imposition of any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can
be detrimental to the Portfolio's performance and its shareholders. The Manager
may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is excessive and contrary to
the best interests of the Portfolio's other shareholders. In this event, the
Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional purchases and/or
exchanges by the shareholder. Upon such a determination, the Fund will provide
notice in writing or by telephone to the shareholder at least 15 days prior to
suspending the exchange privilege and during the 15-day period the shareholder
will be required to (a) redeem his or her shares in the Portfolio or (b) remain
invested in the Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds ordinarily available, which position the shareholder would be
expected to maintain for a significant period of time. All relevant factors will
be considered in determining what constitutes an abusive pattern of exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See
"Redemption of Shares -- Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges
will be processed at the net asset value next determined. Redemption procedures
discussed below are also applicable for exchanging shares, and exchanges will be
made upon receipt of all supporting documents in proper form. If the account
registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to the
registration of the shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee is
required. A capital gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized upon the
exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed. Before
exchanging shares, investors should read the current prospectus describing the
shares to be acquired. The Portfolio reserves the right to modify or discontinue
exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Portfolio tendered to it,
as described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per
share next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no
charge other than any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the
close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next
determined.
If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request for
redemption must specify the Class being redeemed. In the event of a failure to
specify which Class, or if the investor owns fewer shares of the Class than
28
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
specified, the redemption request will be delayed until the Fund's transfer
agent receives further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's
account is not with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption
proceeds will be remitted on or before the third business day following receipt
of proper tender, except on any days on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted
under the 1940 Act in extraordinary circumstances. Generally, if the redemption
proceeds are remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds will not
be invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific instruction and Smith
Barney will benefit from the use of temporarily uninvested funds. Redemption
proceeds for shares purchased by check, other than a certified or official bank
check, will be remitted upon clearance of the check, which may take up to ten
days or more.
Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than those
held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group, or by
submitting a written request for redemption to:
Smith Barney Muni Funds/Georgia Portfolio
Class A, B, C or Y (please specify)
c/o First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
P.O. Box 5128
Westborough, Massachusetts 01581-5128
A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are registered.
If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the certificates
must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed stock power) and
must be submitted to First Data together with the redemption request. Any
signature appearing on a share certificate, stock power or written redemption
request in excess of $2,000 must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor
institution such as a domestic bank, savings and loan institution, domestic
credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or member firm of a
national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of $2,000 or less do
not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request
is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an
investor's address of record. First Data may require additional supporting
documents for redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators,
trustees or guardians. A redemption request will not be deemed properly received
until First Data receives all required documents in proper form.
AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
The Portfolio offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under
29
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
which shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to
receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. The withdrawal plan
will be carried over on exchanges between funds or Classes of the Portfolio. Any
applicable CDSC will not be waived on amounts withdrawn by a shareholder that
exceed 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject to the
CDSC at the time the withdrawal plan commences. With respect to withdrawal plans
in effect prior to November 7, 1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on
amounts withdrawn that do not exceed 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares subject to the CDSC. For further information regarding the
automatic cash withdrawal plan, shareholders should contact a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be
eligible to redeem and exchange portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a
shareholder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a
signature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon request.
Alternatively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new
account application with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his or
her initial investment in the Portfolio.
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes
of the Portfolio's shares may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First
Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net
asset value next determined. Redemptions of shares (i) by retirement plans or
(ii) for which certificates have been issued are not permitted under this
program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds mailed
to his or her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by the
shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the case
may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In order to
use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a member of the
Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with a member bank.
The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee for each wire
redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the shareholder's
account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the bank account
designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must complete a new
Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the shareholder's
assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and certain other
documentation.
30
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests may
be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open. Exchange requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are processed at the net
value next determined.
Additional Information Regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program.
Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following instructions
communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be genuine. The Fund
and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the identity of the
caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a shareholder's name and
account number will be required and phone calls may be recorded). The Fund
reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the telephone redemption
and exchange program or to impose a charge for this service at any time
following at least seven days' prior notice to shareholders.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum Account Size
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's
account if the aggregate value of the shares held in a Portfolio account is less
than $500. If a shareholder has more than one account in this Portfolio, each
account must satisfy the minimum account size. The Fund, however, will not
redeem shares based solely on market reductions in net asset value. Before the
Fund exercises such right, shareholders will receive written notice and will be
permitted 60 days to bring the account up to the minimum to avoid involuntary
liquidation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time the Fund may include a Portfolio's yield, tax equivalent
yield, total return and average annual total return in advertisements. In other
types of sales literature, the Fund may also include the Portfolio's
distribution rate. These figures are computed separately for Class A, Class B,
Class C and Class Y shares of the Portfolio. These figures are based on
historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The
yield of a Portfolio Class refers to the net income earned by an investment in
the Class over a 30-day period ending at month end. This net income is then
annualized, i.e., the amount of income earned by the investment during that
30-day period is assumed to be earned each 30-day period for 12 periods and is
expressed as a percentage of the investment. The net income earned on the
investment for six periods is also assumed to be reinvested at the end of the
sixth 30-day period. The tax equivalent yield is calculated similarly to the
yield, except that a
31
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stated income tax rate is used to demonstrate the taxable yield necessary to
produce an after-tax yield equivalent to the tax-exempt yield of the Class. The
yield and tax equivalent yield quotations are calculated according to a formula
prescribed by the SEC to facilitate comparison with yields quoted by other
investment companies. The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the
latest monthly distribution and dividing the result by the maximum offering
price per share as of the end of the period to which the distribution relates.
The distribution rate is not computed in the same manner as, and therefore can
be significantly different from, the above-described yield. Total return is
computed for a specified period of time assuming deduction of the maximum sales
charge, if any, from the initial amount invested and reinvestment of all income
dividends and capital gains distributions on the reinvestment dates at prices
calculated as stated in this Prospectus, then dividing the value of the
investment at the end of the period so calculated by the initial amount invested
and subtracting 100%. The standard average annual total return, as prescribed by
the SEC, is derived from this total return, which provides the ending redeemable
value. Such standard total return information may also be accompanied with
nonstandard total return information for differing periods computed in the same
manner but without annualizing the total return or taking sales charges into
account. The Fund may also include comparative performance information in
advertising or marketing its shares. Such performance information may include
data from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and other financial publications.

TRUSTEES
Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund
rests with the Fund's Trustees. The Trustees approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and the
Portfolio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manager,
custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Portfolio are
delegated to the Portfolio's investment manager. The Statement of Additional
Information contains background information regarding each Trustee and executive
officer of the Fund.
MANAGER
The Manager manages the day-to-day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to
a management agreement entered into by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio.
SBMFM was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of Delaware. SBMFM, Holdings
and Smith Barney are each located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York
10013. As of May 31, 1997, SBMFM had aggregate assets under management in excess
of $87 billion.
SBMFM provides the Fund with investment management services and executive

Management of the Fund (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fund with office space and equipment, furnishes the Fund with bookkeeping,
accounting, administrative services and services relating to research,
statistical work and supervision of the Portfolio. For the services provided,
the management agreement provides that the Fund will pay SBMFM an annual fee
calculated at the rate of 0.45% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets for
each Class of shares. SBMFM waived a portion of its management fee for the
Portfolio for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. For the past fiscal year,
total operating expenses were 0.48% of the average daily net assets for Class
A shares; 1.00% of the average daily net assets for Class B shares; and 1.04% of
the average daily net assets for Class C shares. For the current fiscal year,
total operating expenses are anticipated to be 0.78% of the average daily net
assets for Class A shares; 1.30% of the average daily net assets of Class B
shares; and 1.34% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The
anticipated expenses for the current fiscal year reflect the current management
fee waiver in effect.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Peter M. Coffey, a Managing Director of Smith Barney, has served as Vice
President of the Fund and portfolio manager of the Portfolio since it commenced
operations (April 4, 1994) and manages the day-to-day operations of the
Portfolio, including making all investment decisions. Mr. Coffey also serves as
the portfolio manager for many of the Fund's other non-money market Portfolios.
Management's discussion and analysis, and additional performance
information regarding the Portfolio during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997
is included in the Annual Report dated March 31, 1997. A copy of the Annual
Report may be obtained upon request and without charge from a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or by writing or calling the Fund at the address or phone
number listed on page one of this Prospectus.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter
and as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts"
arrangement requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as
may be sold to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the
Portfolio under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid
a service fee with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the
Portfolio at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets
attributable to these Classes. Smith Barney is also paid a distribution fee with
respect to Class B and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55%,
respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to these Classes.
Class B shares that automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after
the date of original purchase will no longer be subject to a distribution fee.
The fees are used by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for
33
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
servicing shareholder accounts and, in the case of Class B and Class C shares,
to cover expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of those shares.
These expenses include: advertising expenses; the cost of printing and mailing
prospectuses to potential investors; payments to and expenses of Smith Barney
Financial Consultants and other persons who provide support services in
connection with the distribution of shares; interest and/or carrying charges;
and indirect and overhead costs of Smith Barney associated with the sale of
Portfolio shares, including lease, utility, communications and sales promotion
expenses.
The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares of a
Class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the
time of sale and, with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, a
continuing fee for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder
remains a holder of that Class. Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive
different levels of compensation for selling the different Classes of shares.
Payments under the Plan with respect to Class B and Class C shares are not
tied exclusively to the distribution and shareholder services expenses actually
incurred by Smith Barney and the payments may exceed distribution expenses
actually incurred. The Fund's Trustees will evaluate the appropriateness of the
Plan and its payment terms on a continuing basis and in so doing will consider
all relevant factors, including expenses borne by Smith Barney, amounts received
under the Plan and proceeds of the CDSC.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund, an open-end, non-diversified management investment company, is
organized as a "Massachusetts business trust" pursuant to a Declaration of Trust
dated August 14, 1985. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have
authorized the issuance of twenty series of shares, each representing shares in
one of twenty separate Portfolios. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated
and separately managed. Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of each
Portfolio represent interests in the assets of that Portfolio and have identical
voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights on the same terms and conditions,
except that expenses related to the shareholder service and distribution of
Class A, Class B and Class C shares are borne solely by the respective Class and
each such Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to provisions
of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertains to that Class. It is
the intention of the Fund not to hold annual meetings of share holders. The
Trustees may call meetings of shareholders for action by shareholder vote as may
be required by the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust, and shareholders are
entitled to call a meeting of shareholders upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's out
standing shares for purposes of voting on removal of a Trustee or Trustees.
Shareholders will receive assistance in communicating with other shareholders
in connection with the removal of Trustees as required by Section 16(c) of the
1940 Act.

Additional Information (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights and have only
such conversion or exchange rights as the Trustees may grant in their
discretion. When issued for payment as described in this Prospectus, the Fund's
shares will be fully paid and transferrable (subject to the Portfolio's minimum
account size). Shares are redeemable as set forth under "Redemption of Shares"
and are subject to involuntary redemption as set forth under "Minimum Account
Size."
PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets,
Philadelphia, PA 19103, serves as custodian of the Portfolio's investments.
First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves
as the Fund's transfer agent.
The Fund sends its shareholders a semi-annual report and an audited annual
report, which include listings of the investment securities held by the
Portfolio at the end of the period covered. In an effort to reduce the Fund's
printing and mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of its
semi-annual and annual reports by household. This consolidation means that a
household having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will
receive a single copy of each report. Shareholders who do not want this
consolidation to apply to their account should contact their Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or the Fund's transfer agent.

Prospectus Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information. Cross references in this summary are to headings in the Prospectus.
See "Table of Contents."
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Portfolio seeks to pay its shareholders as high a
level of income exempt from Federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent
investing. The Portfolio will normally invest in securities with remaining
maturities no greater than 20 years. The dollar-weighted average maturity of the
Portfolio will normally be not less than three nor more than 10 years. The
Portfolio may invest without limit in municipal obligations whose interest is a
tax-preference item for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax. See
"Investment Objective and Management Policies."
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS The Portfolio offers three classes of
shares ("Classes") to investors designed to provide them with the flexibility of
selecting an investment best suited to their needs. The general public is
offered two Classes of shares: Class A shares and Class C shares, which differ
principally in terms of sales charges and rate of expenses to which they are
subject. A third Class of shares, Class Y shares, is offered only to investors
meeting an initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. See "Purchase of Shares"
and "Redemption of Shares."
Class A Shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial
sales charge of 2.00% and are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% of the
average daily net assets of the Class. The initial sales charge may be waived
for certain purchases. Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be
made at net asset value with no initial sales charge, but will be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12
months of purchase. See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements
- -- No Initial Sales Charge."
Class C Shares. Class C shares are sold at net asset value with no initial
sales charge. They are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% and an annual
distribution fee of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Class, and
investors pay a CDSC of 1.00% if they redeem Class C shares within 12 months of
purchase. The CDSC may be waived for certain redemptions. The Class C shares'
distribution fee may cause that Class to have higher expenses and pay lower
dividends than Class A shares. Purchases of Portfolio shares, which when
combined with current holdings of Class C shares of the Portfolio equal or
exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, should be made in Class A shares at net asset
value with no sales charge, and will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are available only to investors meeting an
initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. Class Y shares are sold at net asset
value with
3
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
no initial sales charge or CDSC. They are not subject to any service
or distribution fees.
In deciding which Class of Portfolio shares to purchase, investors should
consider the following factors, as well as any other relevant facts and
circumstances:
Intended Holding Period. The decision as to which Class of shares is more
beneficial to an investor depends on the amount and intended duration of his or
her investment. Shareholders who are planning to establish a program of regular
investment may wish to consider Class A shares; as the investment accumulates
shareholders may qualify for purchase of shares without an initial sales charge
and the shares are subject to lower ongoing expenses over the term of the
investment. As an alter native, Class C shares are sold without any initial
sales charge so the entire purchase price is immediately invested in the
Portfolio. Any investment return on these additional invested amounts may
partially or wholly offset the higher annual expenses of this Class. Because the
Portfolio's future return cannot be predicted, however, there can be no
assurance that this would be the case. Finally, investors should consider the
effect of the CDSC period in the context of their own investment time frame.
No Initial Sales Charge. The initial sales charge on Class A
shares may be waived for certain eligible purchasers, and the entire purchase
price would be immediately invested in the Portfolio. In addition, Class A share
purchases of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset value with no initial
sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within
12 months of purchase. The $500,000 investment may be met by adding the purchase
to the net asset value of all Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in
funds sponsored by Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") listed under "Exchange
Privilege." See "Purchase of Shares." Because the ongoing expenses of Class A
shares will be lower than those for Class C shares, purchasers eligible to
purchase Class A shares at net asset value should consider doing so.
Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different compensation for
selling different Classes of shares. Investors should understand that the
purpose of the CDSC on the Class C shares is the same as that of the initial
sales charge on the Class A shares.
See "Purchase of Shares" and "Management of the Fund" for a complete
description of the sales charges and service and distribution fees for each
Class of shares and "Valuation of Shares," "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes"
and "Exchange Privilege" for other differences between the Classes of shares.
PURCHASE OF SHARES Shares may be purchased through a brokerage account
maintained with Smith Barney, a broker that clears securities transactions
through Smith Barney on a fully disclosed basis (an "Introducing Broker") or an
investment dealer in the selling group. See "Purchase of Shares."

Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors in Class A and Class C shares may open an
account by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account.
Investors in Class Y shares may open an account for an initial investment of
$5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for all Classes.
The minimum investment requirements for purchases of Portfolio shares through
the Systematic Investment Plan are described below. There is no minimum
investment requirement in Class A shares for unitholders who invest
distributions from a unit investment trust ("UIT") sponsored by Smith Barney. It
is not recommended that the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or
other qualified retirement plans. See "Purchase of Shares."
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Portfolio offers shareholders a Systematic
Investment Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a
purchase order each month or quarter for Portfolio shares. The minimum initial
investment requirement for Class A and Class C shares and the subsequent
investment requirement for all Classes for shareholders purchasing shares
through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis is $25, and on a
quarterly basis is $50. See "Purchase of Shares."
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of Shares" and
"Redemption of Shares."
MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIO Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc.
("SBMFM" or the "Manager") serves as the Portfolio's investment manager. SBMFM
provides investment advisory and management services to investment companies
affiliated with Smith Barney. SBMFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Barney
Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers
Group Inc. ("Travelers"), a diversified financial services holding company
engaged, through its subsidiaries, principally in four business segments:
Investment Services, Consumer Finance Services, Life Insurance Services and
Property & Casualty Insurance Services. See "Management of the Fund."
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shares of a Class may be exchanged for shares of the
same Class of certain other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the
respective net asset values next determined. See "Exchange Privilege."
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Portfolio for the prior day
generally is quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is
also available from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of
Shares."
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income are
paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital
5
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gains, if any, are paid annually. See "Dividends, Distributions and
Taxes."
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of any
Class will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an
investor, in additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value.
Shares acquired by dividend and distribution reinvestments will not be subject
to any sales charge or CDSC. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that the
Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The value of the Portfolio's
investments, and thus the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares, will
fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as well as
the financial condition and prospects of issuers of municipal obligations
purchased by the Portfolio. See "Investment Objective and Management Policies."
THE PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and
expenses an investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a shareholder
of the Portfolio, based on the maximum sales charge or maximum CDSC that may be
incurred at the time of purchase or redemption and the Portfolio's operating
expenses for its most recent fiscal year:
Limited Term Portfolio Class A Class C Class Y**
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset
value with no sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
** For Class Y shares, "Other expenses" have been estimated because no Class Y
shares were outstanding for the year ended March 31, 1997.
*** Class C shares are subject to an ongoing distribution fee and, as a result,
long-term shareholders of Class C shares may pay more than the economic
equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Class A shares of the Portfolio purchased through the Smith Barney Asset
One Program will be subject to an annual asset-based fee, payable quarterly, in
lieu of the initial sales charge. The fee will vary to a maximum of 1.50%,
depending on the amount of the assets held through the Program. For more
information, please call

your Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
The sales charge and CDSC set forth in the above table are the maximum
charges imposed on purchases or redemptions of Portfolio shares and investors
may actually pay lower or no charges, depending on the amount purchased and, in
the case of Class C shares and certain Class A shares, the length of time the
shares are held. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares." Smith
Barney receives an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.15% of the value of average
daily net assets of Class A shares. Smith Barney also receives, with respect to
Class C shares, an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.35% of the value of average daily net
assets of that Class, consisting of a 0.20% distribution fee and a 0.15% service
fee. "Other expenses" in the above table include fees for shareholder services,
custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees.
EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding
the various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or
indirectly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses
at the levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares,"
"Redemption of Shares" and
"Management of the Fund."
Limited Term Portfolio 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investor would pay the following expenses
on a $1,000 investment, assuming (1) 5.00%
annual return and (2) redemption at the end
of each time period:
Class A............................... $28 $43 $61 $111
Class C............................... 20 31 54 119
Class Y............................... 6 19 33 75
An investor would pay the following expenses
on the same investment, assuming the same
annual return and no redemption:
Class A............................... $28 $43 $61 $111
Class C............................... 10 31 54 119
Class Y............................... 6 19 33 75
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense
levels of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods.
To facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, the Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. This example should not be considered a
representation of past or future expenses and actual expenses may be greater or
less than those shown.

Investment Objective and Management Policies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio seeks as high a level of income exempt from Federal income
taxes as is consistent with prudent investing.
The Portfolio will normally invest in securities with remaining maturities
no greater than 20 years. The dollar-weighted average maturity of the Portfolio
will normally be not less than three nor more than 10 years.
The Portfolio will seek to be fully invested in obligations that are issued
by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States and
their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities that were, in the
opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, exempt from Federal income taxes at the
time of their issuance. For certain shareholders, a portion of the Portfolio's
income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax ("AMT") on tax-exempt
income discussed below. Such obligations are issued to raise money for a variety
of public projects that enhance the quality of life including health facilities,
housing, airports, schools, highways and bridges.
The two principal classifications of municipal obligations are "general
obligation" and "revenue." General obligations are secured by a municipal
issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest. Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases from
the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source. Please
see the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion about
the different types of municipal obligations.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest income from municipal
obligations issued to finance certain "private activities" ("AMT-Subject Bonds")
becomes an item of "tax preference" which is subject to the AMT when received by
a person in a tax year during which he or she is subject to that tax. Such
private activity bonds include bonds issued to finance such projects as certain
solid waste disposal facilities, student loan programs and water and sewage
projects. Because interest income on AMT-Subject Bonds is taxable to certain
investors, it is expected, although there can be no guarantee, that such
municipal obligations generally will provide somewhat higher yields than other
municipal obligations of comparable quality and maturity. There is no limitation
on the percent or amount of the Portfolio's assets that may be invested in
AMT-Subject Bonds.
Municipal bonds purchased for the Portfolio must, at the time of purchase,
be investment-grade municipal bonds and at least two-thirds of the Portfolio's
municipal bonds must be rated in the category of A or better. Investment-grade
bonds are those rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or
have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization; pre-refunded bonds escrowed by U.S. Treasury obligations will be
10
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
considered AAA rated even though the issuer does not obtain a new rating. Up to
one-third of the assets of the Portfolio may be invested in municipal bonds
rated Baa or BBB (this grade, while regarded as having an adequate capacity to
pay interest and repay principal, is considered to be of medium quality and has
speculative characteristics; in addition, changes in economic conditions or
other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make
principal and interest payments than is the case with higher grade bonds) or in
unrated municipal bonds if, based upon credit analysis by the Manager, it is
believed that such securities are at least of comparable quality to those
securities in which the Portfolio may invest. In determining the suitability of
an investment in an unrated municipal bond, the Manager will take into
consideration debt service coverage, the purpose of the financing, history of
the issuer, existence of other rated securities of the issuer and other general
conditions as may be relevant, including comparability to other issues. After
the Portfolio purchases a municipal bond, the issue may cease to be rated or its
rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase. Such an event
would not require the elimination of the issue from the Portfolio but the
Manager will consider such an event in determining whether the Portfolio should
continue to hold the security.
The Portfolio's short-term municipal obligations will be limited to
high-grade obligations (obligations that are secured by the full faith and
credit of the United States or are rated MIG I or MIG 2, VMIG I or VMIG 2 or
Prime-1 or Aa or better by Moody's or SP-I +, SP-I, SP-2, or A-l or AA or better
by S&P or have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical
rating organization, or obligations determined by the Manager to be equivalent).
Among the types of short-term instruments in which the Portfolio may invest are
floating- or variable-rate demand instruments, tax-exempt commercial paper
(generally having a maturity of less than nine months), and other types of notes
generally having maturities of less than three years, such as Tax Anticipation
Notes, Revenue Anticipation Notes, Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes and Bond
Anticipation Notes. Demand instruments usually have an indicated maturity of
more than one year, but contain a demand feature that enables the holder to
redeem the investment on no more than 30-days' notice; variable-rate demand
instruments provide for automatic establishment of a new interest rate on set
dates; floating-rate demand instruments provide for automatic adjustment of
their interest rates whenever some other specified interest rate changes (e.g.,
the prime rate). The Portfolio may purchase participation interests in
variable-rate tax-exempt securities (such as industrial development bonds) owned
by banks. Participations are frequently backed by an irrevocable letter of
credit or guarantee of a bank that the Manager has determined meets the
prescribed quality standards for the Portfolio. Participation interests will be
purchased only if management believes interest income on such interests will be
tax exempt when distributed as dividends to shareholders.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio will not invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets
in illiquid securities, including those that are not readily marketable or for
which there is no established market.
The Portfolio may purchase new issues of municipal obligations on a
when-issued basis, i.e. delivery and payment normally take place 15 to 45 days
after the purchase date. The payment obligation and the interest rate to be
received are each fixed on the purchase date, although no interest accrues with
respect to a when-issued security prior to its stated delivery date. During the
period between purchase and settlement, assets consisting of cash or debt
securities of any grade having a value equal to or greater than the Portfolio's
purchase commitments, provided such securities have been determined by the
Manager to be liquid and unencumbered and are marked to market daily pursuant to
guidelines established by the Trustees, will be segregated at the custodian
bank. Interest rates at settlement may be lower or higher than on the purchase
date, which would result in appreciation or depreciation, respectively. Although
the Portfolio will only purchase municipal obligations on a when-issued basis
with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, the Portfolio may sell
these securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable.
Portfolio transactions will be undertaken principally to accomplish the
Portfolio's objective in relation to anticipated movements in the general level
of interest rates, but the Portfolio may also engage in short-term trading
consistent with its objective.
The Portfolio may invest in municipal bond index futures contracts
(currently traded on the Chicago Board of Trade) or in listed contracts based on
U.S. government securities as a hedging policy in pursuit of its investment
objective, provided that immediately thereafter not more than 331 1/43% of its
net assets would be hedged or the amount of margin deposits on the Portfolio's
existing futures contracts would not exceed 5% of the value of its total assets.
Since any income would be taxable, it is anticipated that such investments will
be made only in those circumstances when the Manager anticipates the possibility
of an extreme change in interest rates or market conditions but does not wish to
liquidate the Portfolio's securities. A further discussion of futures contracts
and their associated risks is contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.
The Portfolio may invest in zero coupon bonds. A zero coupon
bond pays no interest in cash to its holder during its life, although
interest is accrued during that period. Its value to an investor consists
of the difference between its face value at the time of maturity and
the price for which it was acquired, which is generally an amount
significantly less than its face value (sometimes referred to as a
"deep discount" price). Because such securities usually trade at a
deep discount, they will be subject to greater fluctuations of market
value in response to changing interest
12
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rates than debt obligations of comparable maturities which make periodic
distributions of interest. On the other hand, because there are no periodic
interest payments to be reinvested prior to maturity, zero coupon securities
eliminate the reinvestment risk and lock in a rate of return to maturity.
In each of the Fund's prior fiscal years, 100% of the Portfolio's dividends
were exempt-interest dividends, excludable from gross income for Federal income
tax purposes. It is a fundamental policy that under normal market conditions,
the Portfolio will seek to invest 100% of its assets -- and the Portfolio will
invest not less than 80% of its assets -- in municipal obligations the interest
on which is exempt from Federal income taxes (other than the AMT.) The Portfolio
may invest up to 20% of its assets in taxable fixed-income securities but only
in obligations issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United
States and may invest more than 20% of its assets in U.S. government securities
during periods when in the Manager's opinion a temporary defensive posture is
warranted, including any period when the Portfolio's monies available for
investment exceed the municipal obligations available for purchase that meet the
Portfolio's rating, maturity and other investment criteria.
RISK AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objective is
dependent on a number of factors, including the skills of the Manager in
purchasing municipal obligations whose issuers have the continuing ability to
meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The
ability to achieve a high level of income is dependent on the yields of the
securities in the portfolio. Yields on municipal obligations are the product of
a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the municipal bond
markets, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and
the rating of the issue. In general, the longer the maturity of a municipal
obligation, the higher the rate of interest it pays. However, a longer average
maturity is generally associated with a higher level of volatility in the market
value of a municipal obligation. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values of long-term municipal obligations generally rise. Conversely, during
periods of rising interest rates, the values of such securities generally
decline. Changes in the value of Portfolio securities will not affect interest
income derived from those securities but will affect the Portfolio's net asset
value. Since the Portfolio's objective is to provide high current income, they
will invest in municipal obligations with an emphasis on income rather than
stability of net asset values.
From time to time, proposals have been introduced before Congress for the
purpose of restricting or eliminating the Federal income tax exemption for
interest on municipal obligations and similar proposals may be introduced in the
future. If one of these proposals were enacted, the availability of tax-exempt
obligations for investment by the Portfolios and the value of the portfolio
securities would be
13
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
affected. The Trustees would then reevaluate the Portfolios' investment
objectives and policies.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
The Portfolio's portfolio securities ordinarily are purchased from and sold
to parties acting as either principal or agent. Newly issued securities
ordinarily are purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter; other
purchases and sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it appears
that the best price or execution will be obtained. Usually no brokerage
commissions, as such, are paid by the Portfolio for purchases and sales
undertaken through principal transactions, although the price paid usually
includes an undisclosed compensation to the dealer acting as agent.
The Portfolio cannot accurately predict its portfolio turnover rate, but
anticipates that the annual turnover will not exceed 100%. An annual turnover
rate of 100% would occur when all of the securities held by the Portfolio are
replaced one time during a period of one year. The Manager will not consider
turnover rate a limiting factor in making investment decisions consistent with
the investment objective and policies of the Portfolio. See "Financial
Highlights" for the Portfolio's annual turnover rate during each year since
inception.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valuation of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, on each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the
value of the Portfolio's net assets attributable to each Class by the total
number of shares of the Class outstanding.
When, in the judgment of the pricing service, quoted bid prices for
investments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the
market, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and
asked prices. Investments for which, in the judgment of the pricing service,
there are no readily obtainable market quotations (which may constitute a
majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value of securities of
similar type, yield and maturity. Pricing services generally determine value by
reference to transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal
bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various
relationships between securities. Short-term instruments maturing within 60 days
will be valued at cost plus (minus) amortized discount (premium), if any, when
the Trustees have determined that amortized cost equals fair value. Securities
and other assets that are not priced by a pricing service and for which market
quotations are not available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or
under the direction of the Trustees.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from the Portfolio's net investment income are declared and paid
monthly and any realized capital gains are declared and distributed annually.
If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gain
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the same
Class at net asset value, subject to no sales charge or CDSC.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions that are invested are
credited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value
as of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the
option at any time by notifying his or her Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Accounts held directly by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor
Services Group, Inc. ("First Data"), should notify First Data in writing at
least five business days prior to the payment date to permit the change to be
entered in the shareholder's account.
The per share dividends on Class C shares of the Portfolio may be lower
than the per share dividends on Class A and Class Y shares principally as a
result of the distribution fee applicable with respect to Class C shares. The
per share dividends on Class A shares of the Portfolio may be lower than the per
share dividends on Class Y shares principally as a result of the service fee
applicable to Class A shares. Distributions of capital gains, if any, will be in
the same amount for Class A, Class C and Class Y shares.
TAXES
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" and to
meet the requirements for distributing "exempt-interest dividends" under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") so that no Federal income
taxes will be payable by the Portfolio and dividends representing net interest
received on municipal obligations will not be includable by shareholders in
their gross income for Federal income tax purposes. To the extent dividends are
derived from taxable income from temporary investments, from market discounts or
from the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss,
they are treated as ordinary income whether the shareholder has elected to
receive them in cash or in additional shares. No portion of such dividends would
qualify for the corporate dividends-received deduction. Distributions derived
from the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss
are treated as long-term capital gain regardless of the length of time a
shareholder has owned shares of the Portfolio and regardless of whether such
distributions are received in cash or in additional shares.
Exempt-interest dividends allocable to interest received by the Portfolio
from the AMT-Subject Bonds in which the Portfolio may invest will be treated as
interest paid directly on such obligations and will give rise to an "item of tax
preference"
15
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
that will increase a shareholder's alternative minimum taxable income. In
addition, for corporations, alternative minimum taxable income will be increased
by a percentage of the amount by which a special measure of income (including
exempt-interest dividends) exceeds the amount otherwise determined to be
alternative minimum taxable income. Accordingly, investment in the Portfolio may
cause shareholders to be subject to (or result in an increased liability under)
the AMT. The Fund will annually furnish to its shareholders a report indicating
the ratable portion of exempt-interest dividends attributable to AMT-Subject
Bonds.
The Portfolio will be treated as a separate regulated investment company
for Federal tax purposes. Accordingly, the Portfolio's net investment income is
determined separately based on the income earned on its securities less its
costs of operations. The Portfolio's net long-term and short-term gain (loss)
realized on investments is determined separately and net capital gains
distributed by the Portfolio are determined after offsetting any capital loss
carryover of the Portfolio from prior periods.
Under the Code, interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase
or carry shares of the Portfolio will not be deductible to the extent that the
Portfolio's distributions are exempt from Federal income tax. In addition, any
loss realized upon the redemption of shares held less than six months will be
disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends received by the
shareholder during such period. However, this holding period may be shortened
by the Treasury Department to a period of not less than the greater of 31 days
or the period between regular dividend distributions. Further, persons who
may be "substantial users" (or "related persons" of substantial users) of
facilities financed by industrial development bonds should consult their
tax advisers before purchasing Portfolio shares.
Distributions that are exempt for Federal income tax purposes will not
necessarily result in exemption under the income or other tax laws of any state
or local taxing authority. Generally, only interest earned on obligations issued
by the state or locality in which the investor resides will be exempt from state
and local taxes; however, the laws of the several states and local taxing
authorities vary with respect to the taxation of exempt-interest income paid by
investment companies and each shareholder should consult a tax adviser in that
regard.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important tax
considerations generally affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders.
Additional tax information of relevance to particular investors is contained in
the Statement of Additional Information. Investors are urged to consult their
tax advisers with specific reference to their own tax situation.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Portfolio offers three Classes of shares. Class A shares are sold to
investors with an initial sales charge and Class C shares are sold without an
initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC payable upon certain redemptions.
Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales charge or a CDSC and are
available only to investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000 (except for
purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc., for
which there is no minimum purchase amount). See "Prospectus Summary --
Alternative Purchase Arrangements" for a discussion of factors to consider in
selecting which Class of shares to purchase.
Purchases of Portfolio shares must be made through a brokerage account
maintained with Smith Barney, an Introducing Broker or an investment dealer in
the selling group. When purchasing shares of the Portfolio, investors must
specify whether the purchase is for Class A, Class C or Class Y shares. Smith
Barney and other broker-dealers may charge their customers an annual account
maintenance fee in connection with a brokerage account through which an investor
purchases or holds shares. Accounts held directly at First Data are not subject
to a maintenance fee.
Investors in Class A and Class C shares may open an account by making an
initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account in the Portfolio.
Investors in Class Y shares may open an account by making an initial investment
of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for all
Classes. For shareholders purchasing shares of the Portfolio through the
Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis, the minimum initial investment
requirement for Class A and Class C shares and the subsequent investment
requirement for all Classes is $25. For shareholders purchasing shares of the
Portfolio through the Systematic Investment Plan on a quarterly basis, the
minimum initial investment requirement for Class A and Class C shares and the
subsequent investment requirement for all Classes is $50. There are no minimum
investment requirements in Class A shares for employees of Travelers and its
subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, unitholders who invest distributions from
a UIT sponsored by Smith Barney, and Directors or Trustees of any of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds and their spouses and children. The Fund reserves the right
to waive or change minimums, to decline any order to purchase its shares and to
suspend the offering of shares from time to time. Shares purchased will be held
in the shareholder's account by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data. Share
certificates are issued only upon a shareholder's written request to First
Data. It is not recommended that the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh,
IRA or other qualified retirement plans.
The minimum initial investment requirement in the Portfolio for an account
established under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act is $250 and the subsequent
investment requirement is $50.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase orders received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to the close of
regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net asset
value are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day (the
"trade date"). Orders received by dealers or Introducing Brokers prior to the
close of regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net
asset value are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day,
provided the order is received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to Smith
Barney's close of business. For shares purchased through Smith Barney or
Introducing Brokers purchasing through Smith Barney, payment for Portfolio
shares is due on the third business day after the trade date. In all other
cases, payment must be made with the purchase order.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Shareholders may make additions to their accounts at any time by purchasing
shares through a service known as the Systematic Investment Plan. Under the
Systematic Investment Plan, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized through
preauthorized transfers of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least $50 on a
quarterly basis to charge the regular bank account or other financial
institution indicated by the shareholder to provide systematic additions to the
shareholder's Portfolio account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to
complete the transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or
First Data. The Systematic Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply
cash held in the shareholder's Smith Barney brokerage account or redeem the
shareholder's shares of a Smith Barney money market fund to make additions to
the account. Additional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE - CLASS A SHARES
The sales charges applicable to purchases of Class A shares of the
Portfolio are as follows:
================================================================================
Sales Charge Dealer's
% of % of Amount Reallowance as % of
Amount of Investment Offering Price Invested Offering Price
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than $500,000 2.00% 2.04% 1.80%
$500,000 and over * * *
================================================================================
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset
value without any initial sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00%
on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC on Class A shares is
payable to Smith Barney, which compensates Smith Barney Financial Consultants
and other dealers whose clients make purchases of $500,000 or more. The CDSC is
waived in the same circumstances in which the CDSC applicable to Class C shares
is waived. See "Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives" and "Waivers of CDSC."

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Members of the selling group may receive up to 90% of the sales charge and
may be deemed to be underwriters of the Fund as defined in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
The $500,000 investment may be met by aggregating the purchases of Class A
shares of the Portfolio made at one time by "any person," which includes an
individual and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or other fiduciary of a
single trust estate or single fiduciary account.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE WAIVERS
Purchases of Class A shares may be made at net asset value without a sales
charge in the following circumstances: (a) sales to (i) Board members and
employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries and any of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds (including retired Board members and employees), the immediate families of
such persons (including the surviving spouse of a deceased Board member or
employee); and to a pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for such
persons and (ii) employees of members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., provided such sales are made upon the assurance of the purchaser
that the purchase is made for investment purposes and that the securities will
not be resold except through redemption or repurchase; (b) offers of Class A
shares to any other investment company to effect the combination of such company
with the Portfolio by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise; (c) purchases
of Class A shares by any client of a newly employed Smith Barney Financial
Consultant (for a period up to 90 days from the commencement of the Financial
Consultant's employment with Smith Barney), on the condition the purchase of
Class A shares is made with the proceeds of the redemption of shares of a mutual
fund which (i) was sponsored by the Financial Consultant's prior employer, (ii)
was sold to the client by the Financial Consultant and (iii) was subject to a
sales charge; (d) purchases by shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares in
the Portfolio (or Class A shares of another fund of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds that are offered with a sales charge) and who wish to reinvest their
redemption proceeds in the Portfolio, provided the reinvestment is made within
60 calendar days of the redemption; (e) purchases by accounts managed by
registered investment advisory subsidiaries of Travelers; (f) investments of
distributions from a UIT sponsored by Smith Barney; and (g) purchases by
investors participating in a Smith Barney fee-based arrangement. In order to
obtain such discounts, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at
the time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase would qualify for
the elimination of the sales charge.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION
Class A shares of a Portfolio may be purchased by "any person" (as defined
above) at net asset value determined by aggregating the dollar amount of the new
purchase and the total net asset value of all Class A shares of the Portfolio
and of funds sponsored by Smith Barney which are offered with a sales charge
listed under "Exchange Privilege" then held by such person and applying the
sales charge applicable to such aggregate. In order to obtain such discount, the
purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time of purchase to permit
verification that the purchase qualifies for purchase at net asset value. The
right of accumulation is subject to modification or discontinuance at any time
with respect to all shares purchased thereafter.
GROUP PURCHASES
Upon completion of certain automated systems, purchase at net asset value
will also be available to employees (and partners) of the same employer
purchasing as a group, provided each participant makes the minimum initial
investment required. The sales charge applicable to purchases by each member of
such a group will be determined by the table set forth above under "Initial
Sales Charge Alternative -- Class A Shares," and will be based upon the
aggregate sales of Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered with a
sales charge to, and share holdings of, all members of the group. To be eligible
for such purchase at net asset value, all purchases must be made pursuant to an
employer- or partnership-sanctioned plan meeting certain requirements. One such
requirement is that the plan must be open to specified partners or employees of
the employer and its subsidiaries, if any. Such plan may, but is not required
to, provide for payroll deductions. Smith Barney may also offer net asset value
purchase for aggregating related fiduciary accounts under such conditions that
Smith Barney will realize economies of sales efforts and sales-related expenses.
An individual who is a member of a qualified group may also purchase Class A
shares at the sales charge applicable to the group as a whole. The sales charge
is based upon the aggregate dollar value of Class A shares offered with a sales
charge that have been previously purchased and are still owned by the group,
plus the amount of the current purchase. A "qualified group" is one which (a)
has been in existence for more than six months, (b) has a purpose other than
acquiring Portfolio shares at a discount and (c) satisfies uniform criteria
which enable Smith Barney to realize economies of scale in its costs of
distributing shares. A qualified group must have more than 10 members, must be
available to arrange for group meetings between representatives of the Portfolio
and the members, and must agree to include sales and other materials related to
the Portfolio in its publications and mailings to members at no cost to Smith
Barney. In order to purchase at net asset value, the purchaser must provide
sufficient information at the time of purchase to permit verification that the
purchase qualifies for purchase at net asset value. Approval of group purchase

LETTER OF INTENT
Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for amounts of $500,000 or more provides
an opportunity for an investor to purchase shares at net asset value by
aggregating the investments over a 13-month period, provided that the investor
refers to such Letter when placing orders. For purposes of a Letter of Intent,
the "Amount of Investment" as referred to in the preceding sales charge table
includes purchases of all Class A shares of the Portfolio and other funds of the
Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered with a sales charge over a 13-month period
based on the total amount of intended purchases plus the value of all Class A
shares previously purchased and still owned. An alternative is to compute the
13-month period starting up to 90 days before the date of execution of a Letter
of Intent. Each investment made during the period receives the sales charge
applicable to the total amount of the investment goal. If the goal is not
achieved within the period, the investor must pay the difference between the
sales charges applicable to the purchases made and the charges previously paid,
or an appropriate number of escrowed shares will be redeemed. Please contact a
Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data to obtain a Letter of Intent
application.
Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may also be used as a way for investors
to meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares. Such investors
must make an initial minimum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the
Portfolio and agree to purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the
same Portfolio within six months from the date of the Letter. If a total
investment of $5,000,000 is not made within the six-month period, all Class Y
shares purchased to date will be transferred to Class A shares, where they will
be subject to all fees (including a service fee of 0.15%) and expenses
applicable to the Portfolio's Class A shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%.
Please contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data for further
information.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVES
"CDSC Shares" are sold at net asset value next determined without an
initial sales charge so that the full amount of an investor's purchase payment
may be immediately invested in the Fund. A CDSC, however, may be imposed on
certain redemptions of these shares. "CDSC Shares" are: (a) Class C shares; and
(b) Class A shares that were purchased without an initial sales charge but
subject to a CDSC.
Any applicable CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of
the original cost of the shares being redeemed or their net asset value at the
time of redemption. CDSC Shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a CDSC
to the
21
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital appreciation of
Portfolio assets; (b) reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions;
or (c) CDSC Shares redeemed more than 12 months after their purchase.
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions
and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest period of
time. The length of time that CDSC Shares acquired through an exchange have been
held will be calculated from the date that the shares exchanged were initially
acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and Portfolio shares
being redeemed will be considered to represent, as applicable, capital
appreciation or dividend and capital gain distribution reinvestments in such
other funds. For Federal income tax purposes, the amount of the CDSC will reduce
the gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on the amount realized on
redemption. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to Smith Barney.
To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class C shares at
$10 per share for a cost of $1,000. Subsequently, the investor acquired five
additional shares through dividend reinvestment. During the tenth month after
the purchase, the investor decided to redeem $500 of his or her investment.
Assuming at the time of the redemption the net asset value had appreciated to
$12 per share, the value of the investor's shares would be $1,260 (105 shares at
$12 per share). The CDSC would not be applied to the amount which represents
appreciation ($200) and the value of the reinvested dividend shares ($60).
Therefore, $240 of the $500 redemption proceeds ($500 minus $260) would be
charged at a rate of 1.00% (the applicable rate for Class C shares) for a total
deferred sales charge of $2.40.
WAIVERS OF CDSC
The CDSC will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see "Exchange Privilege"); (b)
automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 1.00% per month of
the value of the shareholder's shares at the time the withdrawal plan commences
(see "Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan") provided, however, that automatic cash
withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares will be permitted for withdrawal plans that were
established prior to November 7, 1994; (c) redemptions of shares within 12
months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (d) involuntary
redemptions; and (e) redemptions of shares to effect a combination of the
Portfolio with any investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or
otherwise. In addition, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other funds
of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all
or part of the redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit
for any CDSC imposed on the prior redemption.

Class C Exchanges. Upon an exchange, the new Class C shares will be deemed
to have been purchased on the same date as the Class C shares of the Portfolio
that have been exchanged.
Class A and Class Y Exchanges. Class A and Class Y shareholders of the
Portfolio who wish to exchange all or a portion of their shares for shares of
the respective Class in any of the funds identified above may do so without
imposition of any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can
be detrimental to the Portfolio's performance and its shareholders. The Manager
may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is excessive and contrary to
the best interests of the Portfolio's other shareholders. In this event, the
Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional purchases and/or
exchanges by the shareholder. Upon such a determination, the Fund will provide
notice in writing or by telephone to the shareholder at least 15 days prior to
suspending the exchange privilege and during the 15-day period the shareholder
will be required to (a) redeem his or her shares in the Portfolio or (b) remain
invested in the Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds in the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds ordinarily available, which position the shareholder would be
expected to maintain for a significant period of time. All relevant factors will
be considered in determining what constitutes an abusive pattern of exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See
"Redemption of Shares -- Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges
will be processed at the net asset value next determined. Redemption procedures
discussed below are also applicable for exchanging shares and exchanges will be
made upon receipt of all supporting documents in proper form. If the account
registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to the
registration of the shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee is
required. A capital gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized upon the
exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed. Before
exchanging shares, investors should read the current prospectus describing the
shares to be acquired. The Portfolio reserves the right to modify or discontinue
exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Portfolio tendered to it,
as described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per
share next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no
charge other than
25
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the close of regular
trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next determined.
If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request for
redemption must specify the Class being redeemed. In the event of a failure to
specify which Class, or if the investor owns fewer shares of the Class than
specified, the redemption request will be delayed until the Fund's transfer
agent receives further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's
account is not with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption
proceeds will be remitted on or before the third business day following receipt
of proper tender, except on a day on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted
under the 1940 Act in extraordinary circumstances. Generally, if the redemption
proceeds are remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds will not
be invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific instruction and Smith
Barney will benefit from the use of temporarily uninvested funds. Redemption
proceeds for shares purchased by check, other than a certified or official bank
check, will be remitted upon clearance of the check, which may take up to 10
days or more.
Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than those
held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group, or by
submitting a written request for redemption to:
Smith Barney Muni Funds/Limited Term Portfolio
Class A, C or Y (please specify)
c/o First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
P.O. Box 5128
Westborough, Massachusetts 01581-5128
A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are registered.
If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the certificates
must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed stock power) and
must be submitted to First Data together with the redemption request. Any
signature appearing on a share certificate, stock power or written redemption
request in excess of $2,000 must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor
institution such as a domestic bank, savings and loan institution, domestic
credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or member firm of a
national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of $2,000 or less do
not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request
is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an
investor's address of record. First Data may require additional supporting
documents for redemptions made by
26
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
corporations, executors, administrators, trustees or guardians. A redemption
request will not be deemed properly received until First Data receives all
required documents in proper form.
AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
The Portfolio offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under
which shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to
receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. The withdrawal plan
will be carried over on exchanges between funds or Classes of the Portfolio. Any
applicable CDSC will not be waived on amounts withdrawn by a shareholder that
exceed 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject to the
CDSC at the time the withdrawal plan commences. With respect to withdrawal plans
in effect prior to November 7, 1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on
amounts withdrawn that do not exceed 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares subject to the CDSC. For further information regarding the
automatic cash withdrawal plan, shareholders should contact a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be
eligible to redeem and exchange Portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a
shareholder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a
signature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon request.
Alternatively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new
account application with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his or
her initial investment in the Portfolio.
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes
of the Portfolio's shares may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First
Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net
asset value next determined. Redemptions of shares (i) by retirement plans or
(ii) for which certificates have been issued are not permitted under this
program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds mailed
to his or her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by the
shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the case
may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In order to
use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a member of the
27
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with a member bank.
The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee for each wire
redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the shareholder's
account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the bank account
designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must complete a new
Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the shareholder's
assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and certain other
documentation.
Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests may
be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open. Exchange requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are processed at the net
asset value next determined.
Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program.
Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following instructions
communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be genuine. The Fund
and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the identity of the
caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a shareholder's name and
account number will be required and phone calls may be recorded). The Fund
reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the telephone redemption
and exchange program or to impose a charge for this service at any time
following at least seven days' prior notice to shareholders.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum Account Size
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's
account if the aggregate net asset value of the shares held in the Portfolio
account is less than $500. (If a shareholder has more than one account in this
Portfolio, each account must satisfy the minimum account size.) The Fund,
however, will not redeem shares based solely on market reductions in net asset
value. Before the Fund exercises such right, shareholders will receive written
notice and will be permitted 60 days to bring the account up to the minimum to
avoid involuntary liquidation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time the Fund may include the Portfolio's yield, tax
equivalent yield, total return and average annual total return in
advertisements. In addition, in
28
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
other types of sales literature the Fund may also include the Portfolio's
distribution rate. These figures are computed separately for Class A, Class C
and Class Y shares of the Portfolio. These figures are based on historical
earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The yield of a
Portfolio Class refers to the net income earned by an investment in the Class
over a 30-day period ending at month end. This net income, which does not
include any element of non-tax-exempt income, if any, is then annualized, i.e.,
the amount of income earned by the investment during that 30-day period is
assumed to be earned each 30-day period for 12 periods and is expressed as a
percentage of the investment. The net income earned on the investment for six
periods is also assumed to be reinvested at the end of the sixth 30-day period.
The tax equivalent yield is calculated similarly to the yield, except that a
stated income tax rate is used to demonstrate the taxable yield necessary to
produce an after-tax yield equivalent to the tax-exempt yield of the Class. The
yield and tax equivalent yield quotations are calculated according to a formula
prescribed by the SEC to facilitate comparison with yields quoted by other
investment companies. The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the
latest monthly distribution and dividing the result by the maximum offering
price per share as of the end of the period to which the distribution relates.
The distribution rate is not computed in the same manner as, and therefore can
be significantly different from, the above-described yield. Total return is
computed for a specified period of time assuming deduction of the maximum sales
charge, if any, from the initial amount invested and reinvestment of all income
dividends and capital gains distributions on the reinvestment dates at prices
calculated as stated in this Prospectus, then dividing the value of the
investment at the end of the period so calculated by the initial amount invested
and subtracting 100%. The standard average annual total return, as prescribed by
the SEC, is derived from this total return, which provides the ending redeemable
value. Such standard total return information may also be accompanied with
nonstandard total return information for differing periods computed in the same
manner but without annualizing the total return or taking sales charges into
account. The Fund may also include comparative performance information in
advertising or marketing the Portfolio's shares. Such performance information
may include data from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and other financial
publications.

Management of the Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES
Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund rests
with the Fund's Trustees. The Trustees approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and the
Portfolio,
29
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management of the Fund (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manager, custodian
and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Portfolio are delegated to
the Portfolio's investment manager. The Statement of Additional Information
contains background information regarding each Trustee and executive officer of
the Fund.
MANAGER
The Manager manages the day-to-day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to
a management agreement entered into by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio.
SBMFM was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of Delaware. SBMFM, Holdings
and Smith Barney are each located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York
10013. As of May 31, 1997, SBMFM had aggregate assets under management in excess
of $87 billion.
SBMFM provides the Portfolio with investment management services and
executive and other personnel, pays the remuneration of Fund officers, provides
the Fund with office space and equipment, furnishes the Fund with bookkeeping,
accounting, administrative services and services relating to research,
statistical work and supervision of the Portfolio. For the services provided,
the Management Agreement provides that the Portfolio will pay SBMFM a daily fee
based on the Portfolio's assets. At a Meeting of Shareholders of the Portfolio
held on December 15, 1995, the Shareholders approved a new management agreement
that increased the effective management fee paid by the Fund on behalf of the
Portfolio from 0.45% to 0.50% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The
new management agreement also provides that the Portfolio's investment manager
shall voluntarily reduce its fee to the extent that in any fiscal year the
aggregate expenses of the Portfolio, exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest,
and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses,
exceed 0.70% of such Portfolio's average daily net assets. Certain
Class-specific expenses, such as 12b-1 fees, will also continue to be excluded
when determining whether the expense limitation applies. Previously, the expense
limitation was 0.65%. The change in the rate of the expense limitation
corresponds to the change in the rate of the management fee. The expense
limitation shall be in effect until it is terminated by notice to shareholders
and by supplement to the then-current prospectus. The increased management fee
and expense limitation became effective on December 18, 1995.
For the last fiscal year total expenses were 0.75% of the average daily net
assets for Class A shares and 0.97% of the average daily net assets for Class C
shares.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Lawrence J. McDermott, a Managing Director of Smith Barney, has served as
Vice President of the Fund and portfolio manager of the Portfolio since January
30
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management of the Fund (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 and manages the day-to-day operations of the Fund, including making all
investment decisions. Mr. McDermott also serves as the portfolio manager for
other tax-exempt bond funds sponsored by Smith Barney.
Management's discussion and analysis, and additional performance
information regarding the Portfolio during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997
is included in the Annual Report dated March 31, 1997. A copy of the Annual
Report may be obtained upon request and without charge from a
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney Financial Consultant or by writing or calling the Fund at the
address or phone number listed on page one of this Prospectus. Smith Barney
distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter and as such
conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts" arrangement
requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as may be sold
to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the Portfolio under
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid a service fee
with respect to Class A and Class C shares of the Portfolio at the annual rate
of 0.15% of the average daily net assets attributable to these Classes. Smith
Barney is also paid a distribution fee with respect to Class C shares at the
annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to these
shares. The fees are used by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for
servicing shareholder accounts and, in the case of Class C shares, to cover
expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of those shares. These
expenses include: advertising expenses; the cost of printing and mailing
prospectuses to potential investors; payments to and expenses of Smith Barney
Financial Consultants and other persons who provide support services in
connection with the distribution of shares; interest and/or carrying charges;
and indirect and overhead costs of Smith Barney associated with the sale of
Portfolio shares, including lease, utility, communications and sales promotion
expenses.
The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares of a
Class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the
time of sale and, with respect to Class A and Class C shares, a continuing fee
for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder remains a holder
of that Class. Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different levels
of compensation for selling the different Classes of shares.
Payments under the Plan with respect to Class C shares are not tied
exclusively to the distribution and shareholder services expenses actually
incurred by Smith Barney and the payments may exceed distribution expenses
actually incurred. The Fund's Trustees will evaluate the appropriateness of the
Plan and its payment terms on a continuing basis and in so doing will consider
all relevant factors, including expenses borne by Smith Barney, amounts received
under the Plan and proceeds of the CDSC.

Additional Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund, an open-end, non-diversified management investment company, is
organized as a "Massachusetts business trust" pursuant to a Declaration of Trust
dated August 14, 1985. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have
authorized the issuance of twenty series of shares, each representing shares in
one of twenty separate Portfolios. The assets of the Portfolio are segregated
and separately managed. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Portfolio
represent interests in the assets of the Portfolio and have identical voting,
dividend, liquidation and other rights on the same terms and conditions, except
that expenses related to the shareholder service and distribution of Class A and
Class C shares are borne solely by the respective Class and each such Class of
shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to provisions of the Portfolio's
Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertain to that Class. It is the intention of
the Fund not to hold annual meetings of shareholders. The Trustees may call
meetings of shareholders for action by shareholder vote as may be required by
the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust, and shareholders are entitled to call
a meeting upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's outstanding shares for purposes of
voting on removal of a Trustee or Trustees. Shareholders will receive assistance
in communicating with other shareholders in connection with the removal of
Trustees as required by Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act. Shares do not have
cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights and have only such conversion or
exchange rights as the Trustees may grant in their discretion. When issued for
payment as described in this Prospectus, the Fund's shares will be fully paid
and transferable (subject to the Portfolio's minimum account size). Shares are
redeemable as set forth under "Redemption of Shares" and are subject to
involuntary redemption as set forth under "Minimum Account Size."
PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, serves as Custodian of the Portfolio's
investments.
First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves
as the Fund's transfer agent.
The Fund sends its shareholders a semi-annual report and an audited annual
report, which include listings of the investment securities held by the
Portfolio at the end of the period covered. In an effort to reduce the Fund's
printing and mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of its
semi-annual and annual reports by household. This consolidation means that a
household having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will

Prospectus Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information. Cross references in this summary are to headings in the Prospectus.
See "Table of Contents."
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Portfolio seeks to pay its shareholders as high a
level of monthly income exempt from Federal income taxes as is consistent with
prudent investing. The Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing its
assets in securities of varying maturities, without limitation, depending on
market conditions. Typically, the remaining maturity of municipal bonds will
range between 5 and 30 years. The Portfolio may invest without limit in
municipal obligations whose interest is a tax-preference item for purposes of
the Federal alternative minimum tax. See "Investment Objective and Management
Policies."
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS The Portfolio offers several classes of
shares ("Classes") to investors designed to provide them with the flexibility of
selecting an investment best suited to their needs. The general public is
offered three Classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C
shares, which differ principally in terms of sales charges and rate of expenses
to which they are subject. A fourth Class of shares, Class Y shares, is offered
only to investors meeting an initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. See
"Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares."
Class A Shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial
sales charge of up to 4.00% and are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% of
the average daily net assets of the Class. The initial sales charge may be
reduced or waived for certain purchases. Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000
or more will be made at net asset value with no initial sales charge, but will
be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. See "Prospectus Summary --
Alternative Purchase Arrangements -- Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge."
Class B Shares. Class B shares are offered at net asset value subject to a
maximum CDSC of 4.50% of redemption proceeds, declining by 0.50% the first year
after purchase and by 1.00% each year thereafter to zero. This CDSC may be
waived for certain redemptions. Class B shares are subject to an annual service
fee of 0.15% and an annual distribution fee of 0.50% of the average daily net
assets of the Class. The Class B shares' distribution fee may cause that Class
to have higher expenses and pay lower dividends than Class A shares.
Class B Shares Conversion Feature. Class B shares will convert
automatically to Class A shares, based on relative net asset value, eight years
after the date of the original purchase. Upon conversion, these shares will no
longer be subject to an annual distribution fee. In addition, a certain portion
of Class B shares that have been acquired through the reinvestment of dividends
and distributions ("Class B
3
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividend Shares") will be converted at that time. See "Purchase of Shares --
Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."
Class C Shares. Class C shares are sold at net asset value with no initial
sales charge. They are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% and an annual
distribution fee of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Class, and
investors pay a CDSC of 1.00% if they redeem Class C shares within 12 months of
purchase. The CDSC may be waived for certain redemptions. The Class C shares'
distribution fee may cause that Class to have higher expenses and pay lower
dividends than Class A shares. Purchases of Portfolio shares, which when
combined with current holdings of Class C shares of the Portfolio equal or
exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, should be made in Class A shares at net asset
value with no sales charge, and will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are available only to investors meeting an
initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. Class Y shares are sold at net asset
value with no initial sales charge or CDSC. They are not subject to any service
or distribution fees.
In deciding which Class of Portfolio shares to purchase, investors should
consider the following factors, as well as any other relevant facts and
circumstances:
Intended Holding Period. The decision as to which Class of shares is more
beneficial to an investor depends on the amount and intended duration of his or
her investment. Shareholders who are planning to establish a program of regular
investment may wish to consider Class A shares; as the investment accumulates
shareholders may qualify for reduced sales charges and the shares are subject to
lower ongoing expenses over the term of the investment. As an alternative, Class
B and Class C shares are sold without any initial sales charge so the entire
purchase price is immediately invested in the Portfolio. Any investment return
on these additional invested amounts may partially or wholly offset the higher
annual expenses of these Classes. Because the Portfolio's future return cannot
be predicted, however, there can be no assurance that this would be the case.
Finally, investors should consider the effect of the CDSC period and any
conversion rights of the Classes in the context of their own investment time
frame. For example, while Class C shares have a shorter CDSC period than Class B
shares, they do not have a conversion feature and therefore are subject to an
ongoing distribution fee. Thus, Class B shares may be more attractive than Class
C shares to investors with longer-term investment outlooks.
Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge. The initial sales charge on Class A
shares may be waived for certain eligible purchasers and the entire purchase
price would be immediately invested in the Portfolio. In addition, Class A share
purchases of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset value with no initial
sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within
12 months of
4

Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
purchase. The $500,000 investment may be met by adding the purchase to the net
asset value of all Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in funds
sponsored by Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") listed under "Exchange
Privilege." Class A share purchases may also be eligible for a reduced initial
sales charge. See "Purchase of Shares." Because the ongoing expenses of Class A
shares may be lower than those for Class B and Class C shares, purchasers
eligible to purchase Class A shares at net asset value or at a reduced sales
charge should consider doing so.
Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different compensation for
selling different Classes of shares. Investors should understand that the
purpose of the CDSC on the Class B and Class C shares is the same as that of the
initial sales charge on the Class A shares.
See "Purchase of Shares" and "Management of the Fund" for a complete
description of the sales charges and service and distribution fees for each
Class of shares and "Valuation of Shares," "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes"
and "Exchange Privilege" for other differences between the Classes of shares.
PURCHASE OF SHARES Shares may be purchased through a brokerage account
maintained with Smith Barney. Shares may also be purchased through a broker that
clears securities transactions through Smith Barney on a fully disclosed basis
(an "Introducing Broker") or an investment dealer in the selling group. See
"Purchase of Shares."
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may
open an account by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each
account. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account for an initial
investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for
all Classes. The minimum investment requirements for purchases of Portfolio
shares through the Systematic Investment Plan are described below. There is no
minimum investment requirement in Class A shares for unit holders who invest
distributions from a unit investment trust ("UIT") sponsored by Smith Barney. It
is not recommended that the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or
other qualified retirement plans. See "Purchase of Shares."
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Portfolio offers shareholders a Systematic
Investment Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a
purchase order each month or quarter for Portfolio shares. The minimum initial
investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the
subsequent investment requirement for all Classes for shareholders purchasing
shares through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis is $25, and on
a quarterly basis is $50. See "Purchase of Shares."
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of Shares" and
"Redemption of Shares."

Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"
or the "Manager") serves as the Portfolio's investment manager. SBMFM provides
investment advisory and management services to investment companies affiliated
with Smith Barney. SBMFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc.
("Travelers"), a diversified financial services holding company engaged, through
its subsidiaries, principally in four business segments: Investment Services,
Consumer Finance Services, Life Insurance Services and Property & Casualty
Insurance Services. See "Management of the Fund."
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shares of a Class may be exchanged for shares of the
same Class of certain other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the
respective net asset values next determined. See "Exchange Privilege."
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Portfolio for the prior day
generally is quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is
also available from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of
Shares."
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income are
generally paid on the last Friday of each calendar month to shareholders of
record as of three business days prior thereto. Distributions of net realized
capital gains, if any, are paid annually. See "Dividends, Distributions and
Taxes."
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of a
Class will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an
investor, in additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value.
Shares acquired by dividend and distribution reinvestments will not be subject
to any sales charge or CDSC. Class B shares acquired through dividend and
distribution rein vestments will become eligible for conversion to Class A
shares on a pro rata basis. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that
the Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The value of the
Portfolio's investments, and thus the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares,
will fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as well
as the financial condition and prospects of issuers of municipal obligations
purchased by the Portfolio. The market value of long-term municipal bonds may be
adversely affected during periods of rising interest rates. Addition ally,
changes in Federal income tax laws affecting the tax exemption for interest on
municipal obligations could affect the availability of tax exempt obligations
for purchase and the value of the Portfolio's securities would be affected. See
"Investment Objective and Management Policies."

THE PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and
expenses an investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a shareholder
of the Portfolio, based on the maximum sales charge or maximum CDSC that may be
incurred at the time of purchase or redemption and the Portfolio's operating
expenses for its most recent fiscal year:

* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset
value with no sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
** "Other expenses" for Class Y shares have been estimated because no Class Y
shares were outstanding during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
*** Upon conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, such shares will no
longer be subject to a distribution fee. Class C shares do not have a conversion
feature and, therefore, are subject to an ongoing distribution fee. As a result,
long-term shareholders of Class C shares may pay more than the economic
equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Class A shares of the Portfolio purchased through the Smith Barney
AssetOne Program will be subject to an annual asset-based fee, payable
quarterly, in lieu of the initial sales charge. The fee will vary to a maximum
of 1.50%, depending on the amount of assets held through the Program. For more
information, please call your Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
The sales charge and CDSC set forth in the above table are the maximum
charges imposed on purchases or redemptions of Portfolio shares and investors
may actually pay lower or no charges, depending on the amount purchased and, in
the case of Class B, Class C and certain Class A shares, the length of time the
shares are held. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares." Smith
Barney receives an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.15% of the value of average
daily net assets of Class A shares. Smith Barney also receives with respect to
Class B shares an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.65% of the value of average daily net
assets of that Class, consisting of a 0.50% distribution fee and a 0.15% service
fee. With respect to Class C shares, Smith Barney also receives an annual 12b-1
fee of 0.70% of the value of average daily net assets of that Class, consisting
of a 0.55% distribution

fee and a 0.15% service fee. "Other expenses" in the above table include fees
for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing
costs and registration fees.
EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding
the various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or
indirectly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses
at the levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares,"
"Redemption of Shares" and "Management of the Fund."
National Portfolio 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years*
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investor would pay the following expenses on
a $1,000 investment, assuming (1) 5.00% annual
return and (2) redemption at the end of each
time period:
Class A............................... $47 $61 $77 $124
Class B............................... 57 68 76 132
Class C............................... 23 40 70 153
Class Y............................... 6 18 31 69
An investor would pay the following expenses on
the same investment, assuming the same annual
return and no redemption:
Class A............................... $47 $61 $77 $124
Class B............................... 12 38 66 132
Class C............................... 13 40 70 153
Class Y............................... 6 18 31 69
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Ten-year figures assume conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares
at the end of the eighth year following the date of purchase.
The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense
levels of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods.
To facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, the Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. This example should not be considered a
representation of past or future expenses and actual expenses may be greater or
less than those shown.

Investment Objective and Management Policies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio seeks as high a level of income exempt from Federal income
taxes as is consistent with prudent investing. The Portfolio invests its assets
in a diversified portfolio of municipal securities of varying maturities,
without limitation, depending on market conditions. Typically, the remaining
maturity of municipal bonds will range between 5 and 30 years.
The two principal classifications of municipal obligations are "general
obligation" and "revenue." General obligations are secured by a municipal
issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest. Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases,
from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source.
Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed
discussion about the different types of municipal obligations.
The Portfolio will seek to be fully invested in obligations that are
issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United
States and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities that
were, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, exempt from Federal income
taxes at the time of their issuance. For certain shareholders, a portion of the
Portfolio's income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax ("AMT") on
tax-exempt income discussed below. Such obligations are issued to raise money
for a variety of public projects that enhance the quality of life including
health facilities, housing, airports, schools, highways and bridges.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest income from municipal
obligations issued to finance certain "private activities" ("AMT-Subject Bonds")
becomes an item of "tax preference" which is subject to the AMT when received by
a person in a tax year during which he or she is subject to that tax. Such
private activity bonds include bonds issued to finance such projects as certain
solid waste disposal facilities, student loan programs and water and sewage
projects. Because interest income on AMT-Subject Bonds is taxable to certain
investors, it is expected, although there can be no guarantee, that such
municipal obligations generally will provide somewhat higher yields than other
municipal obligations of comparable quality and maturity. There is no limitation
on the percent or amount of the Portfolio's assets that may be invested in
AMT-Subject Bonds.
Municipal bonds purchased for the Portfolio must, at the time of purchase,
be investment-grade municipal bonds and at least two-thirds of the Portfolio's
municipal bonds must be rated in the category of A or better. Investment-grade
bonds are those rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or
have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization; pre-refunded bonds escrowed by U.S. Treasury obligations will be
11
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
considered AAA rated even though the issuer does not obtain a new rating.
Up to one third of the assets of the Portfolio may be invested in municipal
bonds rated Baa or BBB (this grade, while regarded as having an adequate
capacity to pay interest and repay principal, is considered to be of medium
quality and has speculative characteristics; in addition, changes in economic
conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity
to make principal and interest payments than is the case with higher grade
bonds) or in unrated municipal bonds if, based upon credit analysis by the
Manager, it is believed that such securities are at least of comparable quality
to those securities in which the Portfolio may invest. In determining the
suitability of an investment in an unrated municipal bond, the Manager will take
into consideration debt service coverage, the purpose of the financing, history
of the issuer, existence of other rated securities of the issuer and other
general conditions as may be relevant, including comparability to other issues.
After the Portfolio purchases a municipal bond, the issue may cease to be rated
or its rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase. Such an
event would not require the elimination of the issue from the Portfolio but the
Manager will consider such an event in determining whether the Portfolio should
continue to hold the security.
The Portfolio's short-term municipal obligations will be limited to
high-grade obligations (obligations that are secured by the full faith and
credit of the United States or are rated MIG I or MIG 2, VMIG I or VMIG 2 or
Prime-1 or Aa or better by Moody's or SP-I +, SP-I, SP-2, or A-l or AA or better
by S&P, or have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical
rating organization, or obligations determined by the Manager to be equivalent).
Among the types of short-term instruments in which the Portfolio may invest are
floating- or variable-rate demand instruments, tax-exempt commercial paper
(generally having a maturity of less than nine months), and other types of notes
generally having maturities of less than three years, such as Tax Anticipation
Notes, Revenue Anticipation Notes, Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes and Bond
Anticipation Notes. Demand instruments usually have an indicated maturity of
more than one year, but contain a demand feature that enables the holder to
redeem the investment on no more than 30 days' notice; variable- rate demand
instruments provide for automatic establishment of a new interest rate on set
dates; floating-rate demand instruments provide for automatic adjustment of
their interest rates whenever some other specified interest rate changes (e.g.,
the prime rate). The Portfolio may purchase participation interests in
variable-rate tax exempt securities (such as industrial development bonds) owned
by banks. Participations are frequently backed by an irrevocable letter of
credit or guarantee of a bank that the Manager has determined meets the
prescribed quality standards for the Portfolio. Participation interests will be
purchased only if management believes interest income on such interests will be
tax exempt when distributed as dividends to shareholders.
The Portfolio will not invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets
in
12
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
illiquid securities, including those that are not readily marketable or for
which there is no established market.
The Portfolio may purchase new issues of municipal obligations on a
when-issued basis, i.e. delivery and payment normally take place 15 to 45 days
after the purchase date. The payment obligation and the interest rate to be
received are each fixed on the purchase date, although no interest accrues with
respect to a when-issued security prior to its stated delivery date. During the
period between purchase and settlement, assets consisting of cash or debt
securities of any grade having a value equal to or greater than the Portfolio's
purchase commitments, provided such securities have been determined by the
Manager to be liquid and unencumbered and are marked market daily pursuant to
guidelines established by the Trustees, will be segregated at the custodian
bank. Interest rates at settlement may be lower or higher than on the purchase
date, which would result in appreciation or depreciation, respectively. Although
the Portfolio will only purchase a municipal obligation on a when-issued basis
with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, the Portfolio may sell
these securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable.
Portfolio transactions will be undertaken principally to accomplish the
Portfolio's objective in relation to anticipated movements in the general level
of interest rates, but the Portfolio may also engage in short-term trading
consistent with its objective.
The Portfolio may invest in municipal bond index futures contracts
(currently traded on the Chicago Board of Trade) or in listed contracts based on
U.S. government securities as a hedging policy in pursuit of its investment
objective, provided that immediately thereafter not more than 331 1/43% of its
net assets would be hedged or the amount of margin deposits on the Portfolio's
existing futures contracts would not exceed 5% of the value of its total assets.
Since any income would be taxable, it is anticipated that such investments will
be made only in those circumstances when the Manager anticipates the possibility
of an extreme change in interest rates or market conditions but does not wish to
liquidate the Portfolio's securities. A further discussion of futures contracts
and their associated risks is contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.
The Fund's Board of Trustees has approved the addition of zero coupon
bonds to the Portfolio's list of authorized investments. A zero coupon bond pays
no interest in cash to its holder during its life, although interest is accrued
during that period. Its value to an investor consists of the difference between
its face value at the time of maturity and the price for which it was acquired,
which is generally an amount significantly less than its face value (sometimes
referred to as a "deep discount" price). Because such securities usually trade
at a deep discount, they will be subject to greater fluctuations of market value
in response to changing interest rates than debt obligations of comparable
maturities which make periodic distributions of interest. On the other hand,
because there are no periodic interest
13
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
payments to be reinvested prior to maturity, zero coupon securities eliminate
the reinvestment risk and lock in a rate of return to maturity.
In each of the Fund's prior fiscal years, 100% of the Portfolio's
dividends were exempt-interest dividends, excludable from gross income for
Federal income tax purposes. It is a fundamental policy that, under normal
market conditions, the Portfolio will seek to invest 100% of its assets -- and
the Portfolio will invest not less than 80% of its assets -- in municipal
obligations the interest on which is exempt from Federal income taxes (other
than the AMT.) The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its assets in taxable
fixed-income securities but only in obligations issued or guaranteed by the full
faith and credit of the United States and may invest more than 20% of its assets
in U.S. government securities during periods when in the Manager's opinion a
temporary defensive posture is warranted, including any period when the Fund's
monies available for investment exceed the municipal obligations available for
purchase that meet the Fund's rating, maturity and other investment criteria.
RISK AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objective is
dependent on a number of factors, including the skills of the Manager in
purchasing municipal obligations whose issuers have the continuing ability to
meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The
ability to achieve a high level of income is dependent on the yields of the
securities in the portfolio. Yields on municipal obligations are the product of
a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the municipal bond
markets, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and
the rating of the issue. In general, the longer the maturity of a municipal
obligation, the higher the rate of interest it pays. However, a longer average
maturity is generally associated with a higher level of volatility in the market
value of a municipal obligation. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values of long-term municipal obligations generally rise. Conversely, during
periods of rising interest rates, the values of such securities generally
decline. Changes in the value of Portfolio securities will not affect interest
income derived from those securities but will affect the Portfolio's net asset
value. Since the Portfolio's objective is to provide high current income, it
will invest in municipal obligations with an emphasis on income rather than
stability of net asset values.
From time to time, proposals have been introduced before Congress for the
purpose of restricting or eliminating the Federal income tax exemption for
interest on municipal obligations and similar proposals may be introduced in the
future. If one of these proposals were enacted, the availability of tax exempt
obligations for investment by the Portfolio and the value of the portfolio
securities would be affected. The Trustees would then reevaluate the Portfolio's
investment objective and management policies.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
The Portfolio's portfolio securities ordinarily are purchased from and
sold to parties acting as either principal or agent. Newly issued securities
ordinarily are purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter; other
purchases and sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it appears
that the best price or execution will be obtained. Usually no brokerage
commissions, as such, are paid by the Portfolio for purchases and sales
undertaken through principal transactions, although the price paid usually
includes an undisclosed compensation to the dealer acting as agent.
The Portfolio cannot accurately predict its portfolio turnover rate, but
anticipates that the annual turnover will not exceed 100%. An annual turnover
rate of 100% would occur when all of the securities held by the Portfolio are
replaced one time during a period of one year. The Manager will not consider
turnover rate a limiting factor in making investment decisions consistent with
the investment objective and policies of the Portfolio. See "Financial
Highlights" for the Portfolio's annual turnover rate during each year for the
last 10 years.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valuation of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, which is currently 4:00 p.m. (New York City time),
on each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the value of the Portfolio's net
assets attributable to each Class by the total number of shares of the Class
outstanding.
When, in the judgment of the pricing service, quoted bid prices for
investments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the
market, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and
asked prices. Investments for which, in the judgment of the pricing service,
there are no readily obtainable market quotations (which may constitute a
majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value of securities of
similar type, yield and maturity. Pricing services generally determine value by
reference to transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal
bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various
relationships between securities. Short-term instruments maturing within 60 days
will be valued at cost plus (minus) amortized discount (premium), if any, when
the Trustees have determined that amortized cost equals fair value. Securities
and other assets that are not priced by a pricing service and for which market
quotations are not available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or
under the direction of the Trustees.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from the Portfolio's net investment income are declared and
paid monthly and any realized capital gains are declared and distributed
annually.
If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gains
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the same
Class at net asset value, subject to no sales charge or CDSC.
Income dividends and capital gains distributions that are invested are
credited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value
as of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the
option at any time by notifying his or her Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Accounts held directly by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor
Services Group, Inc. ("First Data"), should notify First Data in writing at
least five business days prior to the payment date to permit the change to be
entered in the shareholder's account.
The per share dividends on Class B and Class C shares of the Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class A and Class Y shares principally
as a result of the distribution fee applicable with respect to Class B and
Class C shares. The per share dividends on Class A shares of the Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class Y shares principally as a result
of the service fee applicable to Class A shares. Distributions of capital
gains, if any, will be in the same amount for Class A, Class B, Class C and
Class Y shares.
TAXES
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" and
to meet the requirements for distributing "exempt-interest dividends" under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") so that no Federal income
taxes will be payable by the Portfolio and dividends representing net interest
received on municipal obligations will not be includable by shareholders in
their gross income for Federal income tax purposes. To the extent dividends are
derived from taxable income from temporary investments, market discounts or from
the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss, they
are treated as ordinary income whether the shareholder has elected to receive
them in cash or in additional shares. Capital gains distributions, if any,
whether paid in cash or invested in shares of the Port folio, will be taxable to
shareholders.
Exempt-interest dividends allocable to interest received by the Portfolio
from the AMT-Subject Bonds in which the Portfolio may invest will be treated as
interest paid directly on such obligations and will give rise to an "item of tax
preference" that will increase a shareholder's alternative minimum taxable
income. In addition, for corporations, alternative minimum taxable income will
be increased by a percentage of the amount by which a special measure of income
(including exempt-interest dividends) exceeds the amount otherwise determined to
be alternative minimum taxable income. Accordingly, investment in the Portfolio
may cause
16
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shareholders to be subject to (or result in an increased liability under) the
AMT. The Fund will annually furnish to its shareholders a report indicating the
ratable portion of exempt-interest dividends attributable to AMT-Subject Bonds.
The Portfolio will be treated as a separate regulated investment company
for Federal tax purposes. Accordingly, the Portfolio's net investment income is
determined separately based on the income earned on its securities less its
costs of operations. The Portfolio's net long-term and short-term gain (loss)
realized on investments is determined after offsetting any capital loss
carryover of the Portfolio from prior periods.
Under the Code, interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase
or carry shares of the Portfolio will not be deductible to the extent that the
Portfolio's distributions are exempt from Federal income tax. In addition, any
loss realized upon the redemption of shares held less than six months will be
disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends received by the
shareholder during such period. However, this holding period may be shortened by
the Treasury Department to a period of not less than the greater of 31 days or
the period between regular dividend distributions. Further, persons who may be
"substantial users" (or "related persons" of substantial users) of facilities
financed by industrial development bonds should consult their tax advisers
before purchasing Portfolio shares.
Distributions that are exempt for Federal income tax purposes will not
necessarily result in exemption under the income or other tax laws of any state
or local taxing authority. Generally, only interest earned on obligations issued
by the state or locality in which the investor resides will be exempt from state
and local taxes; however, the laws of the several states and local taxing
authorities vary with respect to the taxation of exempt-interest income paid by
investment companies, and each shareholder should consult a tax adviser in that
regard.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important tax
considerations generally affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders.
Additional tax information of relevance to particular investors is contained in
the Statement of Additional Information. Investors are urged to consult their
tax advisers with specific reference to their own tax situation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Portfolio offers four Classes of shares. Class A shares are sold to
investors with an initial sales charge and Class B and Class C shares are sold
without an initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC, payable upon certain
redemptions. Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales charge or CDSC and
are available
17
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
only to investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000 (except for purchases of
Class Y shares by Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc., for which there
is no minimum purchase amount). See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase
Arrangements" for a discussion of factors to consider in selecting which Class
of shares to purchase.
Purchases of Portfolio shares must be made through a brokerage account
maintained with Smith Barney, an Introducing Broker or an investment dealer in
the selling group. When purchasing shares of the Portfolio, investors must
specify whether the purchase is for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Y shares.
Smith Barney and other broker-dealers may charge their customers an annual
account maintenance fee in connection with a brokerage account through which an
investor purchases or holds shares. Accounts held directly at First Data are not
subject to a maintenance fee.
Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may open an account by
making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account in the
Portfolio. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account by making an initial
investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for
all Classes. For shareholders purchasing shares of the Portfolio through the
Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis, the minimum initial investment
requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the subsequent
investment requirement for all Classes is $25. For shareholders purchasing
shares of the Portfolio through the Systematic Investment Plan on a quarterly
basis, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class
C shares and the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes is $50. There
are no minimum investment requirements for Class A shares for employees of
Travelers and its subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, a unit holder who
invests distributions from a UIT sponsored by Smith Barney, and Directors or
Trustees of any of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds and their spouses and children.
The Fund reserves the right to waive or change minimums, to decline any order to
purchase its shares and to suspend the offering of shares from time to time.
Shares purchased will be held in the shareholder's account by the Fund's
transfer agent, First Data. Share certificates are issued only upon a
shareholder's written request to First Data. It is not recommended that the
Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or other qualified retirement
plans.
The minimum initial investment requirement in the Portfolio for an account
established under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act is $250 and the subsequent
investment requirement is $50.
Purchase orders received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to the close of
regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net asset
value are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day (the
"trade date"). Orders received by dealers or Introducing Brokers prior to the
close of regular
18
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net asset value are
priced according to the net asset value determined on that day, provided the
order is received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to Smith Barney's close of
business. For shares purchased through Smith Barney or Introducing Brokers
purchasing through Smith Barney, payment for Portfolio shares is due on the
third business day after the trade date. In all other cases, payment must be
made with the purchase order.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Shareholders may make additions to their accounts at any time by
purchasing shares through a service known as the Systematic Investment Plan.
Under the Systematic Investment Plan, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized
through preauthorized transfers of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least
$50 on a quarterly basis to charge the regular bank account or other financial
institution indicated by the shareholder to provide systematic additions to the
shareholder's Portfolio account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to
complete the transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or
First Data. The Systematic Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply
cash held in the shareholder's Smith Barney brokerage account or redeem the
shareholder's shares of a Smith Barney money market fund to make additions to
the account. Additional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE -- CLASS A SHARES
The sales charges applicable to purchases of Class A shares of the
Portfolio are as follows:
================================================================================
Sales Charge Dealer's
% of % of Amount Reallowance as % of
Amount of Investment Offering Price Invested Offering Price
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than $25,000 4.00% 4.17% 3.60%

250,000 - 499,999 1.50 1.52 1.35
500,000 and over* * * *
================================================================================
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net
asset value without any initial sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of
1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC on Class A
shares is payable to Smith Barney, which compensates Smith Barney Financial
Consultants and other dealers whose clients make purchases of $500,000 or more.
The CDSC is waived in the same circumstances in which the CDSC applicable to
Class B and Class C shares is waived. See "Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives"
and "Waivers of CDSC."
Members of the selling group may receive up to 90% of the sales charge and
may be deemed to be underwriters of the Fund as defined in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
19
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reduced sales charges shown above apply to the aggregate of purchases
of Class A shares of the Portfolio made at one time by "any person," which
includes an individual and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or other
fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary account.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE WAIVERS
Purchases of Class A shares may be made at net asset value without a sales
charge in the following circumstances: (a) sales to (i) Board members and
employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries and any of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds (including retired Board members and employees); the immediate families of
such persons (including the surviving spouse of a deceased Board member or
employee); and to a pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for such
persons and (ii) employees of members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., provided such sales are made upon the assurance of the purchaser
that the purchase is made for investment purposes and that the securities will
not be resold except through redemption or repurchase; (b) offers of Class A
shares to any other investment company to effect the combination of such
company with the Port folio by merger, acquisition of assets or other wise; (c)
purchases of Class A shares by any client of a newly employed Smith Barney
Financial Consultant (for a period up to 90 days from the commencement of the
Financial Consultant's employment with Smith Barney), on the condition the
purchase of Class A shares is made with the proceeds of the redemption of shares
of a mutual fund which (i) was sponsored by the Financial Consultant's prior
employer, (ii) was sold to the client by the Financial Consultant and (iii) was
subject to a sales charge; (d) purchases by shareholders who have redeemed
Class A shares in the Portfolio (or Class A shares of another fund of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds that are sold with a sales charge) and who wish to reinvest
their redemption proceeds in the Portfolio, provided the reinvestment is made
within 60 calendar days of the redemption; (e) purchases by accounts managed by
registered investment advisory subsidiaries of Travelers; (f) investments of
distributions from a UIT sponsored by Smith Barney; and (g) purchases by
investors participating in a Smith Barney fee-based arrangement. In order to
obtain such discounts, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the
time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase would qualify for the
elimination of the sales charge.
RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION
Class A shares of a Portfolio may be purchased by "any person" (as defined
above) at a reduced sales charge or at net asset value determined by aggregating
the dollar amount of the new purchase and the total net asset value of all Class
A shares of the Portfolio and of funds sponsored by Smith Barney, which are
offered with a sales charge, listed under "Exchange Privilege" then held by such
person and applying the sales charge applicable to such aggregate. In order to
obtain such
20
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
discount, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time of
purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced
sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to modification or
discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares purchased thereafter.
GROUP PURCHASES
Upon completion of certain automated systems, a reduced sales charge or
purchase at net asset value will also be available to employees (and partners)
of the same employer purchasing as a group, provided each participant makes the
minimum initial investment required. The sales charge applicable to purchases
by each member of such a group will be determined by the table set forth above
under "Initial Sales Charge Alternative -- Class A Shares", and will be based
upon the aggregate sales of Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered
with a sales charge to, and share holdings of, all members of the group. To be
eligible for such reduced sales charges or to purchase at net asset value, all
purchases must be made pursuant to an employer- or partnership-sanctioned plan
meeting certain requirements. One such requirement is that the plan must be
open to specified partners or employees of the employer and its subsidiaries, if
any. Such plan may, but is not required to, provide for payroll deductions.
Smith Barney may also offer a reduced sales charge or net asset value purchase
for aggregating related fiduciary accounts under such conditions that Smith
Barney will realize economies of sales efforts and sales-related expenses. An
individual who is a member of a qualified group may also purchase Class A shares
at the reduced sales charge applicable to the group as a whole. The sales charge
is based upon the aggregate dollar value of Class A shares offered with a sales
charge that have been previously purchased and are still owned by the group,
plus the amount of the current purchase. A "qualified group" is one which (a)
has been in existence for more than six months, (b) has a purpose other than
acquiring Portfolio shares at a discount and (c) satisfies uniform criteria
which enable Smith Barney to realize economies of scale in its costs of
distributing shares. A qualified group must have more than 10 members, must be
available to arrange for group meetings between representatives of the Portfolio
and the members and must agree to include sales and other materials related to
the Portfolio in its publications and mailings to members at no cost to Smith
Barney. In order to obtain such reduced sales charge or to purchase at net asset
value, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time of purchase
to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced sales charge.
Approval of group purchase reduced sales charge plans is subject to the
discretion of Smith Barney.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LETTER OF INTENT
Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for amounts of $50,000 or more provides
an opportunity for an investor to obtain a reduced sales charge by aggregating
investments over a 13-month period, provided that the investor refers to such
Letter when placing orders. For purposes of a Letter of Intent, the "Amount of
Investment" as referred to in the preceding sales charge table includes
purchases of all Class A shares of the Port folio and other funds of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds offered with a sales charge over the 13-month period based
on the total amount of intended purchases plus the value of all Class A shares
previously purchased and still owned. An alternative is to compute the 13-month
period starting up to 90 days before the date of execution of a Letter of
Intent. Each investment made during the period receives the reduced sales
charge applicable to the total amount of the investment goal. If the goal is not
achieved within the period, the investor must pay the difference between the
sales charges applicable to the purchases made and the charges previously paid,
or an appropriate number of escrowed shares will be redeemed. Please contact a
Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data to obtain a Letter of Intent
application.
Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may also be used as a way for investors
to meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares. Such investors
must make an initial minimum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the
Portfolio and agree to purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the
same Portfolio within six months from the date of the Letter. If a total
investment of $5,000,000 is not made within the six-month period, all Class Y
shares purchased to date will be transferred to Class A shares, where they will
be subject to all fees (including a service fee of 0.15%) and expenses
applicable to the Portfolio's Class A shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%.
Please contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data for further
information.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVES
"CDSC Shares" are sold at net asset value next determined without an
initial sales charge so that the full amount of an investor's purchase payment
may be immediately invested in the Portfolio. A CDSC however, may be imposed on
certain redemptions of these shares. "CDSC Shares" are: (a) Class B shares;
(b) Class C shares; and (c) Class A shares that were purchased without an
initial sales charge but subject to a CDSC.
Any applicable CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of
the original cost of the shares being redeemed or their net asset value at the
time of redemption. CDSC Shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a CDSC
to the extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital appreciation
of Portfolio assets; (b) rein vestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions; (c) with respect to Class B shares, shares redeemed more than
five years after their purchase; or

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(d) with respect to Class C shares and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares,
shares redeemed more than 12 months after their purchase.
Class C shares and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares are subject to a
1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. In circumstances in which
the CDSC is imposed on Class B shares, the amount of the charge will depend on
the number of years since the shareholder made the purchase payment from which
the amount is being redeemed. Solely for purposes of determining the number of
years since a purchase payment, all purchase payments made during a month will
be aggregated and deemed to have been made on the last day of the preceding
Smith Barney statement month. The following table sets forth the rates of the
charge for redemptions of Class B shares by shareholders:
Year Since Purchase
Payment Was Made CDSC
================================================================================
First 4.50%
Second 4.00
Third 3.00
Fourth 2.00
Fifth 1.00
Sixth and thereafter 0.00
================================================================================
Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares eight years
after the date on which they were purchased and thereafter will no longer be
subject to any distribution fees. There will also be converted at that time such
proportion of Class B Dividend Shares owned by the shareholder as the ratio of
the total number of his or her Class B shares converting at the time bears to
the total number of outstanding Class B shares (other than Class B Dividend
Shares) owned by the shareholder. See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative
Purchase Arrangements -- Class B Shares Conversion Feature."
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions
and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest period of
time. The length of time that CDSC Shares acquired through an exchange have been
held will be calculated from the date that the Class B and Class C shares
exchanged were initially acquired in one of the other applicable Smith Barney
Mutual Funds, and Portfolio shares being redeemed will be considered to
represent, as applicable, capital appreciation or dividend and capital gain
distribution reinvestments in such other funds. For Federal income tax purposes,
the amount of the CDSC will reduce the gain or increase the loss, as the case
may be, on the amount realized on redemption. The amount of any CDSC will be
paid to Smith Barney.
To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B shares at
23
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$10 per share for a cost of $1,000. Subsequently, the investor acquired five
additional shares through dividend reinvestment. During the fifteenth month
after the purchase, the investor decided to redeem $500 of his or her
investment. Assuming at the time of the redemption the net asset value had
appreciated to $12 per share, the value of the investor's shares would be $1,260
(105 shares at $12 per share). The CDSC would not be applied to the amount which
represents appreciation ($200) and the value of the reinvested dividend shares
($60). Therefore, $240 of the $500 redemption proceeds ($500 minus $260) would
be charged at a rate of 4.00% (the applicable rate for Class B shares) for a
total deferred sales charge of $9.60.
WAIVERS OF CDSC
The CDSC will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see "Exchange Privilege"); (b)
automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 1.00% per month of
the value of the shareholder's shares at the time the withdrawal plan commences
(see "Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan"), provided, however, that automatic cash
withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares will be permitted for withdrawal plans that were
established prior to November 7, 1994; (c) redemptions of shares within 12
months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (d) involuntary
redemptions; and (e) redemptions of shares to effect a combination of the
Portfolio with any investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or
otherwise. In addition, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other funds
of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all
or part of the redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit
for any CDSC imposed on the prior redemption.
CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in
the case of shareholders who are also Smith Barney clients or by First Data in
the case of all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status or holdings, as
the case may be.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exchange Privilege (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can
be detrimental to the Portfolio's performance and its shareholders. The Manager
may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is excessive and contrary to
the best interests of the Portfolio's other shareholders. In this event, the
Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional purchases and/or
exchanges by the shareholder. Upon such a determination, the Fund will provide
notice in writing or by telephone to the shareholder at least 15 days prior to
suspending the exchange privilege and during the 15 day period the shareholder
will be required to (a) redeem his or her shares in the Portfolio or (b) remain
invested in the Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds ordinarily available, which position the shareholder would be
expected to maintain for a significant period of time. All relevant factors will
be considered in determining what constitutes an abusive pattern of exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See
"Redemption of Shares -- Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges
will be processed at the net asset value next determined. Redemption procedures
discussed below are also applicable for exchanging shares, and exchanges will be
made upon receipt of all supporting documents in proper form. If the account
registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to the
registration of the shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee is
required. A capital gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized upon the
exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed. Before
exchanging shares, investors should read the current prospectus describing the
shares to be acquired. The Portfolio reserves the right to modify or discontinue
exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Portfolio tendered to it,
as described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per
share next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no
charge other than any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the
close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next
determined.
If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request for
redemption must specify the Class being redeemed. In the event of a failure to
specify which Class, or if the investor owns fewer shares of the Class than
specified, the redemption request will be delayed until the Fund's transfer
agent receives further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's
account is not with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption
proceeds will be remitted on or before the third business day following receipt
of proper tender,
27
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
except on any days on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted under the 1940
Act in extraordinary circumstances. Generally, if the redemption proceeds are
remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds will not be invested
for the shareholder's benefit without specific instruction and Smith Barney will
benefit from the use of temporarily uninvested funds. Redemption proceeds for
shares purchased by check, other than a certified or official bank check, will
be remitted upon clearance of the check, which may take up to ten days or more.
Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than those
held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group, or by
submitting a written request for redemption to:
Smith Barney Muni Funds/National Portfolio
Class A, B, C or Y (please specify)
c/o First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
P.O. Box 5128
Westborough, Massachusetts 01581-5128
A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are registered.
If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the certificates
must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed stock power) and
must be submitted to First Data together with the redemption request. Any
signature appearing on a share certificate, stock power or written redemption
request in excess of $2,000 must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor
institution such as a domestic bank, savings and loan institution, domestic
credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or member firm of a
national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of $2,000 or less do
not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request
is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an
investor's address of record. First Data may require additional supporting
documents for redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators,
trustees or guardians. A redemption request will not be deemed properly received
until First Data receives all required documents in proper form.
AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
The Portfolio offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under
which shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to
receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. The withdrawal plan
will be carried over on exchanges between funds or Classes of the Portfolio. Any
applicable CDSC will not be waived on amounts withdrawn by a shareholder that
28
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
exceed 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject to the
CDSC at the time the withdrawal plan commences. With respect to withdrawal plans
in effect prior to November 7, 1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on
amounts withdrawn that do not exceed 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares subject to the CDSC. For further information regarding the
automatic cash withdrawal plan, shareholders should contact a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be
eligible to redeem and exchange Portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a
shareholder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a
signature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon request.
Alternatively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new
account application with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his or
her initial investment in the Portfolio.
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes
of the Portfolio's shares may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First
Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net
asset value next determined. Redemption of shares (i) by retirement plans or
(ii) for which certificates have been issued are not permitted under this
program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds
mailed to his or her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated
by the share holder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as
the case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In
order to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a
member of the Federal Re serve System or have a correspondent relationship with
a member bank. The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee
for each wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the
shareholder's account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the
bank account designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must
complete a new Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the
shareholder's assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and
certain other documentation.
Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the
29
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests may be
made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open. Exchange requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are processed at the net
asset value next determined.
Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program. Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following
instructions communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be
genuine. The Fund and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the
identity of the caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a
shareholder's name and account number will be required and phone calls may be
recorded). The Fund reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the
telephone redemption and exchange program or to impose a charge for this service
at any time following at least seven days' prior notice to shareholders.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum Account Size
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund reserves the right to redeem involuntarily any shareholder's
account if the aggregate value of the shares held in the Portfolio account is
less than $500. If a shareholder has more than one account in this Portfolio,
each account must satisfy the minimum account size. The Fund, however, will not
redeem shares based solely on market reductions in net asset value. Before the
Fund exercises such right, shareholders will receive written notice and will be
permitted 60 days to bring the account up to the minimum to avoid involuntary
liquidation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time the Portfolio may include its yield, tax equivalent
yield, total return and average annual total return in advertisements. In
addition, in other types of sales literature, the Fund may also include the
Portfolio's distribution rate. These figures are computed separately for Class
A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Portfolio. These figures are based
on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The
yield of a Portfolio Class refers to the net income earned by an investment in
the Class over a 30-day period ending at month end. This net income, which does
not include any element of non-tax exempt income if any, is then annualized,
i.e., the amount of income earned by the investment during that 30-day period
is assumed to be earned each 30-day period for 12 periods and is expressed as a
percentage of the investment. The net income earned on the investment for six
periods is also assumed to be rein vested at the end of the
30
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sixth 30-day period. The tax equivalent yield is calculated similarly to the
yield, except that a stated income tax rate is used to demonstrate the taxable
yield necessary to produce an after-tax yield equivalent to the tax-exempt yield
of the Class. The yield and tax equivalent yield quotations are calculated
according to a formula prescribed by the SEC to facilitate comparison with
yields quoted by other investment companies. The distribution rate is
calculated by annualizing the latest monthly distribution and dividing the
result by the maximum offering price per share as of the end of the period to
which the distribution relates. The distribution rate is not computed in the
same manner as, and therefore can be significantly different from, the
above-described yield. Total return is computed for a specified period of time
assuming deduction of the maximum sales charge, if any, from the initial amount
invested and reinvestment of all income dividends and capital gains
distributions on the reinvestment dates at prices calculated as stated in this
Prospectus, then dividing the value of the investment at the end of the period
so calculated by the initial amount invested and subtracting 100%. The standard
average annual total return, as prescribed by the SEC, is derived from this
total return, which provides the ending redeemable value. Such standard total
return information may also be accompanied with nonstandard total return
information for differing periods computed in the same manner but without
annualizing the total return or taking sales charges into account. The Portfolio
may also include comparative performance information in advertising or marketing
its shares. Such performance information may include data from Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc. and other financial publications.

Management of the Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES
Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Portfolio
rests with the Fund's Trustees. The Trustees approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and the
Portfolio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment
manager, custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the
Portfolio are delegated to the Portfolio's investment manager. The Statement of
Additional Information contains background information regarding each Trustee
and executive officer of the Fund.
MANAGER
The Manager manages the day-to-day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to
a management agreement entered into by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio.
SBMFM was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of Delaware. SBMFM, Holdings
and Smith Barney are each located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York
10013. As of May 31, 1997, SBMFM had aggregate assets under management in excess
of $87 billion.
31
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management of the Fund (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SBMFM provides the Fund with investment management services and executive
and other personnel, pays the remuneration of Fund officers, provides the Fund
with office space and equipment, furnishes the Fund with bookkeeping,
accounting, administrative services and services relating to research,
statistical work and supervision of the Portfolio. For the services provided,
the management agreement provides that the Fund will pay SBMFM a daily fee
based on the Portfolio's assets. For the Fund's last fiscal year the management
fee was 0.45% of the Portfolio's average net assets. For the last fiscal year
total operating expenses were 0.70% of the average daily net assets for Class A
shares; 1.20% of the average daily net assets for Class B shares; and 1.27% of
the average daily net assets for Class C shares. SBMFM has agreed to waive its
fee with respect to a Class to the extent that it is necessary if in any fiscal
year the aggregate expenses exclusive of 12b-1 fees, taxes, brokerage, interest
and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation costs, exceed 0.65% of such
Class' average net assets for that fiscal year. The expense limitations shall be
in effect until they are terminated by notice to shareholders and by supplement
to the then-current prospectus.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Peter M. Coffey, a Managing Director of Smith Barney, serves as Vice
President of the Fund and portfolio manager of the Portfolio since its inception
(August 20, 1986) and manages the day-to-day operations of the Portfolio,
including making all investment decisions. Mr. Coffey also serves as the
portfolio manager for many of the Fund's other non-money market Portfolios.
Management's discussion and analysis, and additional performance
information regarding the Portfolio during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997
is included in the Annual Report dated March 31, 1997. A copy of the Annual
Report may be obtained upon request and without charge from a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or by writing or calling the Fund at the address or phone
number listed on page one of this Prospectus.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter
and as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts"
arrangement requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as
may be sold to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the
Portfolio under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid
a service fee with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the
Portfolio at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets
32
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
attributable to these Classes. Smith Barney is also paid a distribution
fee with respect to Class B and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.50% and
0.55%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to these
Classes. Class B shares that automatically convert to Class A shares eight years
after the date of original purchase will no longer be subject to a distribution
fee. The fees are used by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for
servicing shareholder accounts and, in the case of Class B and Class C shares,
to cover expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of those shares.
These expenses include: advertising expenses; the cost of printing and mailing
prospectuses to potential investors; payments to and expenses of Smith Barney
Financial Consultants and other persons who provide support services in
connection with the distribution of shares; interest and/or carrying charges;
and indirect and overhead costs of Smith Barney associated with the sale of
Portfolio shares, including lease, utility, communications and sales promotion
expenses.
The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares of a
Class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the
time of sale and, with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, a
continuing fee for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder
remains a holder of that Class. Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive
different levels of compensation for selling the different Classes of shares.
Payments under the Plan with respect to Class B and Class C shares are not
tied exclusively to the distribution and shareholder services expenses actually
incurred by Smith Barney and the payments may exceed distribution expenses
actually incurred. The Fund's Trustees will evaluate the appropriateness of the
Plan and its payment terms on a continuing basis and in so doing will consider
all relevant factors, including expenses borne by Smith Barney, amounts received
under the Plan and proceeds of the CDSC.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund, an open-end, non-diversified management investment company, is
organized as a "Massachusetts business trust" pursuant to a Declaration of Trust
dated August 14, 1985. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have
authorized the issuance of twenty series of shares, each representing shares in
one of twenty separate Portfolios. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated
and separately managed. Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the
Portfolio represent interests in the assets of the Portfolio and have identical
voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights on the same terms and conditions,
except that expenses related to the shareholder service and distribution of
Class A, Class B and Class C shares are borne solely by the respective Class and
each such Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to provisions
of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertain to that Class. It is
the intention of the Fund not to hold annual meetings of shareholders. The
Trustees may call meetings of shareholders for action by shareholder vote as
may be required by the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust, and
33
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Information (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shareholders are entitled to call a meeting upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's out
standing shares for purposes of voting on removal of a Trustee or Trustees and
the Fund will assist shareholders in calling such a meeting as required by
Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or
preemptive rights and have only such conversion or exchange rights as the
Trustees may grant in their discretion. When issued for payment as described in
this Prospectus, the Fund's shares will be fully paid and transferable (subject
to the Portfolio's minimum account size). Shares are redeemable as set forth
under "Redemption of Shares" and are subject to involuntary redemption as set
forth under "Minimum Account Size."
PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets,
Philadelphia, PA 19103, serves as custodian of the Portfolio's investments.
First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves
as the Fund's transfer agent.
The Fund sends its shareholders a semi-annual report and an audited annual
report, which include listings of the investment securities held by the Fund at
the end of the period covered. In an effort to reduce the Fund's printing and
mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of its semi-annual and
annual reports by household. This consolidation means that a household having
multiple accounts with the identical address of record will receive a single
copy of each report. Shareholders who do not want this consolidation to apply to
their account should contact their Smith Barney Financial Consultant or the
Fund's transfer agent.

Prospectus Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information. Cross references in this summary are to headings in the Prospectus.
See "Table of Contents."
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Portfolio seeks to pay its shareholders as high a
level of income exempt from Federal and Ohio personal income taxes as is
consistent with prudent investing. The Portfolio will invest primarily in
obligations issued by the State of Ohio and its political subdivisions, agencies
and instrumentalities. The Portfolio may invest without limit in municipal
obligations whose interest is a tax-preference item for purposes of the Federal
alternative minimum tax. See "Investment Objectives and Management Policies."
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS The Portfolio offers several classes of
shares ("Classes") to current investors who have elected to reinvest their
income and capital gain distributions: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class
C shares, which differ principally in terms of sales charges and rate of
expenses to which they are subject and Class Y shares, which are offered only to
investors meeting an initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. Class A Shares.
Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial sales charge of
up to 4.00% and are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% of the average
daily net assets of the Class. The initial sales charge may be reduced or waived
for certain purchases. Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be
made at net asset value with no initial sales charge, but will be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12
months of purchase. See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements
- -- Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge."
Class B Shares. Class B shares are offered at net asset value subject to a
maximum CDSC of 4.50% of redemption proceeds, declining by 0.50% the first year
after purchase and by 1.00% each year thereafter to zero. This CDSC may be
waived for certain redemptions. Class B shares are subject to an annual service
fee of 0.15% and an annual distribution fee of 0.50% of the average daily net
assets of the Class. The Class B shares' distribution fee may cause that Class
to have higher expenses and pay lower dividends than Class A shares.
Class B Shares Conversion Feature. Class B shares will convert
automatically to Class A shares, based on relative net asset value, eight years
after the date of the original purchase. Upon conversion, these shares will no
longer be subject to an annual distribution fee. In addition, a certain portion
of Class B shares that have been acquired through the reinvestment of dividends
and distributions ("Class B Dividend Shares") will be converted at that time.
See "Purchase of Shares -- Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."

Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class C Shares. Class C shares are sold at net asset value with no initial
sales charge. They are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% and an annual
distribution fee of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Class, and
investors pay a CDSC of 1.00% if they redeem Class C shares within 12 months of
purchase. This CDSC may be waived for certain redemptions. The Class C shares'
distribution fee may cause that Class to have higher expenses and pay lower
dividends than Class A shares. Purchases of Portfolio shares, which when
combined with current holdings of Class C shares of the Portfolio equal or
exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, should be made in Class A shares at net asset
value with no sales charge, and will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Class Y Shares.
Class Y shares are available only to investors meeting an initial
investment minimum of $5,000,000. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value
with no initial sales charge or CDSC. They are not subject to any service or
distribution fees.
In deciding which Class of Portfolio shares to purchase, investors should
consider the following factors, as well as any other relevant facts and
circumstances:
Intended Holding Period. The decision as to which Class of shares is more
beneficial to an investor depends on the amount and intended duration of his or
her investment. Shareholders who are planning to establish a program of regular
investment may wish to consider Class A shares; as the investment accumulates
shareholders may qualify for reduced sales charges and the shares are subject to
lower ongoing expenses over the term of the investment. As an alternative, Class
B and Class C shares are sold without any initial sales charge so the entire
purchase price is immediately invested in the Portfolio. Any investment return
on these additional invested amounts may partially or wholly offset the higher
annual expenses of these Classes. Because the Portfolio's future return cannot
be predicted, however, there can be no assurance that this would be the case.
Finally, investors should consider the effect of the CDSC period and any
conversion rights of the Classes in the context of their own investment time
frame. For example, while Class C shares have a shorter CDSC period than Class B
shares, they do not have a conversion feature and therefore are subject to an
ongoing distribution fee. Thus, Class B shares may be more attractive than Class
C shares to investors with longer-term investment outlooks.
Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge. The initial sales charge on Class A
shares may be waived for certain eligible purchasers and the entire purchase
price would be immediately invested in the Portfolio. In addition, Class A share
purchases of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset value with no initial
sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within
12 months of purchase. The $500,000 investment may be met by adding the purchase
to the net asset value of all Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in
funds sponsored

by Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") listed under "Exchange Privilege." Class A
share purchases may also be eligible for a reduced initial sales charge. See
"Purchase of Shares." Because the ongoing expenses of Class A shares may be
lower than those for Class B and Class C shares, purchasers eligible to purchase
Class A shares at net asset value or at a reduced sales charge should consider
doing so.
Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different compensation for
selling different Classes of shares. Investors should understand that the
purpose of the CDSC on the Class B and Class C shares is the same as that of the
initial sales charge on the Class A shares.
See "Purchase of Shares" and "Management of the Fund" for a complete
description of the sales charges and service and distribution fees for each
Class of shares and "Valuation of Shares," "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes"
and "Exchange Privilege" for other differences between the Classes of shares.
PURCHASE OF SHARES Shares are offered to current investors who have
elected to reinvest their income and capital gain distributions.
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may
open an account by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each
account. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account for an initial
investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for
all Classes. The minimum investment requirements for purchases of Portfolio
shares through the Systematic Investment Plan are described below. It is not
recommended that the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or other
qualified retirement plans. See "Purchase of Shares."
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Portfolio offers shareholders a Systematic
Investment Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a
purchase order each month or quarter for Portfolio shares. The minimum initial
investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the
subsequent investment requirement for all Classes for shareholders purchasing
shares through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis is $25, and on
a quarterly basis is $50. See "Purchase of Shares."
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of Shares" and
"Redemption of Shares."
MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIO Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc.
("SBMFM" or the "Manager") serves as the Portfolio's investment manager. SBMFM
provides investment advisory and management services to investment companies
affiliated with Smith Barney. SBMFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Barney
Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers
Group Inc. ("Travelers"), a diversified financial services

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries, principally in four business
segments: Investment Services, Consumer Finance Services, Life Insurance
Services and Property & Casualty Insurance Services. See "Management of the
Fund."
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shares of a Class may be exchanged for shares of the
same Class of certain other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the
respective net asset values next determined. See "Exchange Privilege."
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Portfolio for the prior day
generally is quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is
also available from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of
Shares."
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income are
generally paid on the last Friday of each calendar month to shareholders of
record as of three business days prior thereto. Distributions of net realized
capital gains, if any, are paid annually. See "Dividends, Distributions and
Taxes."
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of a
Class will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an
investor, in additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value.
Shares acquired by dividend and distribution reinvestments will not be subject
to any sales charge or CDSC. Class B shares acquired through dividend and
distribution reinvestments will become eligible for conversion to Class A shares
on a pro rata basis. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that the
Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The concentration of the
Portfolio in Ohio obligations involves certain additional risks that should be
considered carefully by investors. Additionally, the value of the Portfolio's
investments, and thus the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares, will
fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as well as
the financial condition and prospects of issuers of municipal obligations
purchased by the Portfolio. The market value of long-term municipal bonds may be
adversely affected during periods of rising interest rates. Additionally,
changes in Federal income tax laws affecting the tax exemption for interest on
municipal obligations could affect the availability of tax exempt obligations
for purchase and the value of the Portfolio's securities would be affected. See
"Investment Objective and Management Policies -- Risk and Investment
Considerations."

THE PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and
expenses an investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a shareholder
of the Portfolio, based on the maximum sales charge or maximum CDSC that may be
incurred at the time of purchase or redemption and, unless otherwise noted, the
Portfolio's operating expenses for its most recent fiscal year:

===== ===== ===== =====
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net
asset value with no sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
** "Management fees" have been restated to reflect the management fee
waiver currently in effect for the Portfolio. Absent the fee waiver, the
management fee would be incurred at the rate of 0.45% of each Class' average
daily net assets for the current fiscal period. Absent the fee waiver and
expense reimbursement, total expenses would be at the rates of 1.22%, 1.74%,
1.78% and 1.07% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively.
*** Upon conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, such shares will
no longer be subject to a distribution fee. Class C shares do not have a
conversion feature and, therefore, are subject to an ongoing distribution fee.
As a result, long-term shareholders of Class C shares may pay more than the
economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
**** For Class Y shares, "Other expenses" have been estimated because no
Class Y shares were outstanding for the year ended March 31, 1997.
The sales charge and CDSC set forth in the above table are the maximum
charges imposed on purchases or redemptions of Portfolio shares and investors
may actually pay lower or no charges, depending on the amount purchased and, in
the case of Class B, Class C and certain Class A shares, the length of time the
shares are held. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares." Smith
Barney receives an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.15% of the value of average
daily net assets of Class A shares. Smith Barney also receives with respect to
7

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B shares an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.65% of the value of average daily net
assets of that Class, consisting of a 0.50% distribution fee and a 0.15% service
fee. With respect to Class C shares, Smith Barney also receives an annual 12b-1
fee of 0.70% of the value of average daily net assets of that Class, consisting
of a 0.55% distribution fee and a 0.15% service fee. "Other Expenses" in the
above table include fees for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and
accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees.
EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding
the various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or
indirectly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses
at the levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares,"
"Redemption of Shares" and "Management of the Fund."
Ohio Portfolio 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years*
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investor would pay the following
expenses on a $1,000 investment
assuming (1) 5.00% annual return and
(2) redemption at the end of each
time period:
Class A ............................ $48 $64 $82 $133
Class B ............................ 58 71 81 142
Class C ............................ 24 42 73 161
Class Y ............................ 6 20 35 79
An investor would pay the following
expenses on the same investment assuming
the same annual return and no redemption:
Class A ............................ $48 $64 $82 $133
Class B ............................ 13 41 71 142
Class C ............................ 14 42 73 161
Class Y ............................ 6 20 35 79
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Ten-year figures assume conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares
at the end of the eighth year following the date of purchase.
The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense
levels of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods.
To facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, the Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. This example should not be considered a
representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or
less than those shown.

Investment Objective and Management Policies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio seeks as high a level of income exempt from Federal income
taxes and from the personal income taxes of the State of Ohio as is consistent
with prudent investing. The Portfolio will invest primarily in obligations of
the State of Ohio and its political subdivisions, agencies and
instrumentalities, the interest from which is, in the opinion of bond counsel
for the various issuers, exempt from state as well as Federal income taxes at
the time of their issuance. For certain shareholders, a portion of the
Portfolio's income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax ("AMT") on
tax-exempt income discussed below. Such obligations are issued to raise money
for a variety of public projects that enhance the quality of life including
health facilities, housing, airports, schools, highways and bridges. The
Portfolio invests its assets in securities of ranging maturities, without
limitation, depending on market conditions. Typically, the remaining maturity of
municipal bonds will range between 5 and 30 years.
The two principal classifications of municipal obligations are "general
obligation" and "revenue." General obligations are secured by a municipal
issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest. Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases,
from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source.
Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed
discussion about the different types of municipal obligations.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest income from municipal
obligations issued to finance certain "private activities" ("AMT-Subject Bonds")
becomes an item of "tax preference" which is subject to the AMT when received by
a person in a tax year during which he is subject to that tax. Such private
activity bonds include bonds issued to finance such projects as certain solid
waste disposal facilities, student loan programs and water and sewage projects.
Because interest income on AMT-Subject Bonds is taxable to certain investors, it
is expected, although there can be no guarantee, that such municipal obligations
generally will provide somewhat higher yields than other municipal obligations
of comparable quality and maturity. There is no limitation on the percent or
amount of the Portfolio's assets that may be invested in AMT-Subject Bonds.
Municipal bonds purchased for the Portfolio must, at the time of purchase,
be investment-grade municipal bonds and at least two-thirds of the Portfolio's
municipal bonds must be rated in the category of A or better. Investment-grade
bonds are those rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") and AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or
have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization; pre-refunded bonds escrowed by U.S. Treasury obligations will be
considered AAA rated even though the issuer does not obtain a new rating. Up to
one-third of the assets of the Portfolio may be invested in municipal bonds
rated Baa or BBB (this
11
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
grade, while regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay
principal, is considered to be of medium quality and has speculative
characteristics) or in unrated municipal bonds if, based upon credit analysis by
the Manager, it is believed that such securities are at least of comparable
quality to those securities in which the Portfolio may invest. In determining
the suitability of an investment in an unrated municipal bond, the Manager will
take into consideration debt service coverage, the purpose of the financing,
history of the issuer, existence of other rated securities of the issuer and
other general conditions as may be relevant, including comparability to other
issues. After the Portfolio purchases a municipal bond, the issue may cease to
be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase.
Such an event would not require the elimination of the issue from the Portfolio
but the Manager will consider such an event in determining whether the Portfolio
should continue to hold the security.
The Portfolio's short-term municipal obligations will be limited to
high-grade obligations (obligations that are secured by the full faith and
credit of the United States or are rated MIG 1 or MIG 2, VMIG 1 or VMIG 2 or
Prime-1 or Aa or better by Moody's or SP-1+, SP-1, SP-2, or A-1 or AA or better
by S&P or have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical
rating organization or obligations determined by the Manager to be equivalent).
Among the types of short-term instruments in which the Portfolio may invest are
floating- or variable-rate demand instruments, tax-exempt commercial paper
(generally having a maturity of less than nine months), and other types of notes
generally having maturities of less than three years, such as Tax Anticipation
Notes, Revenue Anticipation Notes, Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes and Bond
Anticipation Notes. Demand instruments usually have an indicated maturity of
over one year, but contain a demand feature that enables the holder to redeem
the investment on no more than 30 days' notice; variable-rate demand instruments
provide for automatic establishment of a new interest rate on set dates;
floating-rate demand instruments provide for automatic adjustment of their
interest rates whenever some other specified interest rate changes (e.g., the
prime rate). The Portfolio may purchase participation interests in variable-rate
tax-exempt securities (such as industrial development bonds) owned by banks.
Participations are frequently backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or
guarantee of a bank that the Manager has determined meets the prescribed quality
standards for the Portfolio. Participation interests will be purchased only if
management believes interest income on such interests will be tax exempt when
distributed as dividends to shareholders.
The Portfolio will not invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets
in illiquid securities, including those that are not readily marketable or for
which there is no established market.
The Portfolio may purchase new issues of municipal obligations on a
when-issued basis, i.e. delivery and payment normally take place 15 to 45 days
after the
12
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
purchase date. The payment obligation and the interest rate to be
received are each fixed on the purchase date, although no interest accrues with
respect to a when-issued security prior to its stated delivery date. During the
period between purchase and settlement, assets consisting of cash or debt
securities of any grade having a value equal to or greater than the Portfolio's
purchase commitments, provided such securities have been determined by the
Manager to be liquid and unencumbered and are marked to market daily pursuant to
guidelines established by the Trustees, will be segregated at the custodian
bank. Interest rates at settlement may be lower or higher than on the purchase
date, which would result in appreciation or depreciation, respectively. Although
the Portfolio will only purchase municipal obligations on a when-issued basis
with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, the Portfolio may sell
these securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable.
Portfolio transactions will be undertaken primarily to accomplish the
Portfolio's objective in relation to anticipated movements in the general level
of interest rates, but the Portfolio may also engage in short-term trading
consistent with its objective.
The Portfolio may invest in municipal bond index futures contracts
(currently traded on the Chicago Board of Trade) or in listed contracts based on
U.S. government securities as a hedging policy in pursuit of its investment
objective, provided that immediately thereafter not more than 33 1/3% of its net
assets would be hedged or the amount of margin deposits on the Portfolio's
existing futures contracts would not exceed 5% of the value of its total assets.
Since any income would be taxable, it is anticipated that such investments will
be made only in those circumstances when the Manager anticipates the possibility
of an extreme change in interest rates or market conditions but does not wish to
liquidate the Portfolio's securities. A further discussion of futures contracts
and their associated risks is contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.
It is a fundamental policy that, under normal market conditions, the
Portfolio will seek to invest 100% of its assets -- and the Portfolio will
invest not less than 80% of its assets -- in municipal obligations the interest
on which is exempt from Federal income taxes (other than the AMT). It is also a
fundamental policy that, under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will
invest at least 65% of its assets in municipal obligations the interest on which
is also exempt from the personal income taxes of the State of Ohio in the
opinion of bond counsel to the issuers. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of
its assets in taxable fixed-income securities, but only in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States, and may invest
more than 20% of its assets in U.S. government securities during periods when in
the Manager's opinion a temporary defensive posture is warranted, including any
period when the Portfolio's monies available for investment exceed the municipal
obligations available for purchase that meet the
13
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portfolio's rating, maturity and other investment criteria. To the extent
the Portfolio is so invested, the investment objective may not be achieved.
RISK AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objective is
dependent on a number of factors, including the skills of the Manager in
purchasing municipal obligations whose issuers have the continuing ability to
meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The
ability to achieve a high level of income is dependent on the yields of the
securities in the portfolio. Yields on municipal obligations are the product of
a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the municipal bond
markets, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and
the rating of the issue. In general, the longer the maturity of a municipal
obligation, the higher the rate of interest it pays. However, a longer average
maturity is generally associated with a higher level of volatility in the market
value of a municipal obligation. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values of long-term municipal obligations generally rise. Conversely, during
periods of rising interest rates, the values of such securities generally
decline. Changes in the value of Portfolio securities will not affect interest
income derived from those securities but will affect the Portfolio's net asset
value. Since the Portfolio's objective is to provide high current income, it
will invest in municipal obligations with an emphasis on income rather than
stability of net asset values.
The Fund is registered as a "non-diversified" company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), in order for the Portfolio to
have the ability to invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any
issuer. The Portfolio intends to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") which limits the aggregate value
of all holdings (except U.S. government and cash items, as defined in the Code)
that exceed 5% of the Portfolio's total assets to an aggregate amount of 50% of
such assets. Also, holdings of a single issuer (with the same exceptions) may
not exceed 25% of a Portfolio's total assets. These limits are measured at the
end of the quarter. Under the Subchapter M limits, non-diversification allows up
to 50% of the Portfolio's total assets to be invested in as few as two single
issuers. In the event of a decline in creditworthiness of, or default upon, the
obligations of one or more such issuers exceeding 5%, an investment in the
Portfolio will entail greater risk than in a portfolio having a policy of
diversification because a high percentage of the Portfolio's assets may be
invested in municipal obligations of one or two issuers. Furthermore, a high
percentage of investments among few issuers may result in a greater degree of
fluctuation in the market value of the assets of the Portfolio, and consequently
a greater degree of fluctuation of the Portfolio's net asset value, because the
Portfolio will be more susceptible to economic, political, or regulatory
developments affecting these securities than would be the case with a portfolio
composed of varied obligations of more issuers.

RISK FACTORS AFFECTING OHIO
Non-manufacturing industries now employ more than three-fourths of all
payroll employees in Ohio. However, due to the continued importance of
manufacturing industries (including auto-related and household appliance
manufacturing), economic activity in Ohio tends to be more cyclical than in some
other states and in the nation as a whole. Although Ohio's economy has improved
since the 1980-82 national recession, the state's economic problems and the
1990-91 national recession produced some significant changes in certain revenue
and expenditure levels for the 1992 fiscal year and have had varying effects on
the different geographic areas of the state and the political subdivisions
located within such geographic areas. The State administrations and both houses
of the General Assembly have been committed to and have taken actions that
provide a balance of general revenue fund resources and expenditures. From 1980
through 1996, all these bienniums ended with positive general revenue fund and
cash balances. Although revenue obligations of the State or its political
subdivisions may be payable from a specific project or source, including lease
rentals, there can be no assurance that future economic difficulties, and the
resulting impact on state and local government finances, will not adversely
affect the market value of Ohio obligations held in the Portfolio or the ability
of the respective obligors to make timely payments of principal and interest on
such obligations.
Additional information regarding the state is included in the Statement of
Additional Information.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
The Portfolio's securities ordinarily are purchased from and sold to
parties acting as either principal or agent. Newly issued securities ordinarily
are purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter; other purchases
and sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it appears that the
best price or execution will be obtained. Usually no brokerage commissions, as
such, are paid by the Portfolio for purchases and sales undertaken through
principal transactions, although the price paid usually includes an undisclosed
compensation to the dealer acting as agent.
The Portfolio cannot accurately predict its portfolio turnover rate, but
anticipates that the annual turnover will not exceed 100%. An annual turnover
rate of 100% would occur when all of the securities held by the Portfolio are
replaced one time during a period of one year. The Manager will not consider
turnover rate a limiting factor in making investment decisions consistent with
the investment objective and policies of the Portfolio. See "Financial
Highlights" for the Portfolio's annual turnover rate during each year since
inception.
15
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valuation of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, which is currently 4:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the Portfolio's net assets
attributable to each Class by the total number of shares of the Class
outstanding.
When, in the judgement of the pricing service, quoted bid prices for
investments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the
market, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and
asked prices. Investments for which, in the judgement of the pricing service,
there are no readily obtainable market quotations (which may constitute a
majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value of securities of
similar type, yield and maturity. Pricing services generally determine value by
reference to transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal
bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various
relationships between securities. Short-term instruments maturing within 60 days
will be valued at cost plus (minus) amortized discount (premium), if any, when
the Trustees have determined that amortized cost equals fair value. Securities
and other assets that are not priced by a pricing service and for which market
quotations are not available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or
under the direction of the Trustees.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from the Portfolio's net investment income are declared and paid
monthly and any realized capital gains are declared and distributed annually.
If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gain
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the same
Class at net asset value, subject to no sales charge or CDSC.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions that are invested are
credited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value
as of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the
option at any time by notifying his or her Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Accounts held directly by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor
Services Group, Inc. ("First Data") should notify First Data in writing at least
five business days prior to the payment date to permit the change to be entered
into the shareholder's account.
The per share dividends on Class B and Class C shares of the Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class A and Class Y shares principally
as a result of the distribution fees applicable with respect to Class B and
Class C shares. The per share dividends on Class A shares of the Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class Y shares principally as a result
of the service
16
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fee applicable to Class A shares. Distributions of capital gains,
if any, will be in the same amount for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y
shares.
TAXES
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" and
to meet the requirements for distributing "exempt-interest dividends" under the
Code so that no Federal income taxes will be payable by the Portfolio and
dividends representing net interest received on municipal obligations will not
be includable by shareholders in their gross income for Federal income tax
purposes. To the extent dividends are derived from taxable income from temporary
investments, market discounts or from the excess of net short-term capital gain
over net long-term capital loss, they are treated as ordinary income whether the
shareholder has elected to receive them in cash or in additional shares. Capital
gains distributions, if any, whether paid in cash or invested in shares of the
Portfolio, will be taxable to shareholders.
Exempt-interest dividends allocable to interest received by the Portfolio
from the AMT-Subject Bonds in which the Portfolio may invest will be treated as
interest paid directly on such obligations and will give rise to an "item of tax
preference" that will increase a shareholder's alternative minimum taxable
income. In addition, for corporations, alternative minimum taxable income will
be increased by a percentage of the amount by which a special measure of income
(including exempt-interest dividends) exceeds the amount otherwise determined to
be alternative minimum taxable income. Accordingly, investment in the Portfolio
may cause shareholders to be subject to (or result in an increased liability
under) the AMT. The Fund will annually furnish to its shareholders a report
indicating the ratable portion of exempt-interest dividends attributable to
AMT-Subject Bonds.
The Portfolio will be treated as a separate regulated investment company
for Federal tax purposes. Accordingly, the Portfolio's net investment income is
determined separately based on the income earned on its securities less its
costs of operations. The Portfolio's net long-term and short-term gain (loss)
realized on investments is determined after offsetting any capital loss
carryover of the Portfolio from prior periods.
Under the Code, interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase
or carry shares of the Portfolio will not be deductible to the extent that the
Portfolio's distributions are exempt from Federal income tax. In addition, any
loss realized upon the redemption of shares held less than six months will be
disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends received by the
shareholder during such period. Further, persons who may be "substantial users"
(or "related persons" of substantial users) of facilities financed by industrial
development bonds should consult their tax advisers concerning an investment in
the Portfolio.

Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OHIO TAXES
Dividends by the Ohio Portfolio to an Ohio resident, or to a corporation
subject to the Ohio Corporation Franchise Tax, will not be subject to the Ohio
personal income tax or the net income basis of the Ohio Corporation Franchise
Tax to the extent that such dividends are attributable to income received by the
Portfolio as interest from Ohio municipal obligations as well as direct
obligations of the United States. Dividends or distributions paid by the
Portfolio to an Ohio resident, or to a corporation subject to the Ohio
Corporation Franchise Tax, that are attributable to most other sources are
subject to the Ohio personal income tax and are includable in the net income
basis of the Ohio Corporation Franchise Tax. The shares of the Portfolio will
not be subject to property taxation by the State of Ohio or its political
subdivisions, except when held by a "dealer in intangibles" (generally, a person
in the lending or brokerage business), a decedent's estate, an Ohio insurance
company, or a corporation taxed on the net worth basis of the Ohio Corporation
Franchise Tax.
Investors purchasing municipal obligations of their state of residence, or
a fund comprised of such obligations, should recognize that the benefits of the
exemption from local taxes, in addition to the exemption from Federal taxes,
necessarily limits the fund's ability to diversify geographically. The Portfolio
will make available annually to its shareholders information concerning the tax
status of its distributions, including the amount of its dividends designated as
exempt-interest dividends and as capital gain dividends.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important tax
considerations generally affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders.
Additional tax information of relevance to particular investors is contained in
the Statement of Additional Information. Investors are urged to consult their
tax advisers with specific reference to their own tax situation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Portfolio offers four Classes of shares to current investors who have
elected to reinvest their income and capital gain distributions. Class A shares
are sold to investors with an initial sales charge and Class B and Class C
shares are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC
payable upon certain redemptions. Class Y shares are sold without an initial
sales charge or CDSC and are available only to investors investing a minimum of
$5,000,000. See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements" for a
discussion of factors to consider in selecting which Class of shares to
purchase.
18

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney and other broker-dealers may charge their customers an annual
account maintenance fee in connection with a brokerage account through which an
investor purchases or holds shares. Accounts held directly at First Data are not
subject to a maintenance fee. Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares
may open an account by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each
account in the Portfolio.
Investors in Class Y shares may open an account by making an initial
investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for
all Classes. For shareholders purchasing shares of the Portfolio through the
Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis, the minimum initial investment
requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the subsequent
investment requirement for all Classes is $25. For shareholders purchasing
shares of the Portfolio through the Systematic Investment Plan on a quarterly
basis, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class
C shares and the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes is $50. There
are no minimum investment requirements in Class A for employees of Travelers and
its subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, and Trustees or Directors of any of
the Smith Barney Mutual Funds and their spouses and children. The Fund reserves
the right to waive or change minimums, to decline any order to purchase its
shares and to suspend the offering of shares from time to time. Shares purchased
will be held in the shareholder's account by the Fund's transfer agent, First
Data. Share certificates are issued only upon a shareholder's written request to
First Data. It is not recommended that the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for
Keogh, IRA or other qualified retirement plans.
The minimum initial investment requirement in the Portfolio for an account
established under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act is $250 and the subsequent
investment requirement is $50.
Purchase orders received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to the close of
regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net asset
value are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day (the
"trade date"). Orders received by dealers or introducing brokers prior to the
close of regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net
asset value are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day,
provided the order is received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to Smith
Barney's close of business. For shares purchased through Smith Barney or
Introducing Brokers purchasing through Smith Barney, payment for Portfolio
shares is due on the third business day after the trade date. In all other
cases, payment must be made with the purchase order.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Shareholders may make additions to their accounts at any time by
purchasing shares through a service known as the Systematic Investment Plan.
Under the Systematic Investment Plan, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized
through pre-
19
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
authorized transfers of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least $50 on a
quarterly basis to charge the regular bank account or other financial
institution indicated by the shareholder to provide systematic additions to the
shareholder's Portfolio account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to
complete the transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or
First Data. The Systematic Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply
cash held in the shareholder's Smith Barney brokerage account or redeem the
shareholder's shares of a Smith Barney money market fund to make additions to
the account. Additional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE - CLASS A SHARES
The sales charges applicable to purchases of Class A shares of the
Portfolio are as follows:
================================================================================
Sales Charge
---------------------------- Dealer's
% of % of Amount Reallowance as % of
Amount of Investment Offering Price Invested Offering Price
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than $25,000 4.00% 4.17% 3.60%
$25,000 - 49,999 3.50 3.63 3.15
50,000 - 99,999 3.00 3.09 2.70
100,000 - 249,999 2.50 2.56 2.25
250,000 - 499,999 1.50 1.52 1.35
500,000 and over * * *
================================================================================
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net
asset value without any initial sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of
1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC on Class A
shares is payable to Smith Barney, which compensates Smith Barney Financial
Consultants and other dealers whose clients make purchases of $500,000 or more.
The CDSC is waived in the same circumstances in which the CDSC applicable to
Class B and Class C shares is waived. See "Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives"
and "Waivers of CDSC."
Members of the selling group may receive up to 90% of the sales charge and
may be deemed to be underwriters of the Fund as defined in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
The reduced sales charges shown above apply to the aggregate of purchases
of Class A shares of the Portfolio made at one time by "any person," which
includes an individual and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or other
fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary account.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE WAIVERS
Purchases of Class A shares may be made at net asset value without a sales
charge in the following circumstances: (a) sales to (i) Board members and
employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries and any of the Smith Barney Mutual
20
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funds (including retired Board members and employees); the immediate families of
such persons (including the surviving spouse of a deceased Board member or
employee); and to a pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for such
persons and (ii) employees of members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., provided such sales are made upon the assurance of the purchaser
that the purchase is made for investment purposes and that the securities will
not be resold except through redemption or repurchase; (b) offers of Class A
shares to any other investment company to effect the combination of such company
with the Portfolio by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise; (c) purchases
of Class A shares by any client of a newly employed Smith Barney Financial
Consultant (for a period up to 90 days from the commencement of the Financial
Consultant's employment with Smith Barney), on the condition the purchase of
Class A shares is made with the proceeds of the redemption of shares of a mutual
fund which (i) was sponsored by the Financial Consultant's prior employer, (ii)
was sold to the client by the Financial Consultant and (iii) was subject to a
sales charge; (d) purchases by shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares in
the Portfolio (or Class A shares of another fund of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds that are sold with a sales charge) and who wish to reinvest their
redemption proceeds in the Portfolio, provided the reinvestment is made within
60 calendar days of the redemption; (e) purchases by accounts managed by
registered investment advisory subsidiaries of Travelers; and (f) purchases by
investors participating in a Smith Barney fee-based arrangement. In order to
obtain such discounts, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the
time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase would qualify for the
elimination of the sales charge.
RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION
Class A shares of a Portfolio may be purchased by "any person" (as defined
above) at a reduced sales charge or at net asset value determined by aggregating
the dollar amount of the new purchase and the total net asset value of all Class
A shares of the Portfolio and of funds sponsored by Smith Barney which are
offered with a sales charge listed under "Exchange Privilege" then held by such
person and applying the sales charge applicable to such aggregate. In order to
obtain such discount, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the
time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the
reduced sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to modification or
discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares purchased thereafter.
GROUP PURCHASES
Upon completion of certain automated systems, a reduced sales charge or
purchase at net asset value will also be available to employees (and partners)
of the same employer purchasing as a group, provided each participant makes the
21
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
minimum initial investment required. The sales charge applicable to purchases by
each member of such a group will be determined by the table set forth above
under "Initial Sales Charge Alternative -- Class A Shares," and will be based
upon the aggregate sales of Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered
with a sales charge to, and share holdings of, all members of the group. To be
eligible for such reduced sales charges or to purchase at net asset value, all
purchases must be made pursuant to an employer- or partnership-sanctioned plan
meeting certain requirements. One such requirement is that the plan must be open
to specified partners or employees of the employer and its subsidiaries, if any.
Such plan may, but is not required to, provide for payroll deductions. Smith
Barney may also offer a reduced sales charge or net asset value purchase for
aggregating related fiduciary accounts under such conditions that Smith Barney
will realize economies of sales efforts and sales-related expenses. An
individual who is a member of a qualified group may also purchase Class A shares
at the reduced sales charge applicable to the group as a whole. The sales charge
is based upon the aggregate dollar value of Class A shares offered with a sales
charge that have been previously purchased and are still owned by the group,
plus the amount of the current purchase. A "qualified group" is one which (a)
has been in existence for more than six months, (b) has a purpose other than
acquiring Portfolio shares at a discount and (c) satisfies uniform criteria
which enable Smith Barney to realize economies of scale in its costs of
distributing shares. A qualified group must have more than 10 members, must be
available to arrange for group meetings between representatives of the Portfolio
and the members and must agree to include sales and other materials related to
the Portfolio in its publications and mailings to members at no cost to Smith
Barney. In order to obtain such reduced sales charge or to purchase at net asset
value, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time of purchase
to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced sales charge.
Approval of group purchase reduced sales charge plans is subject to the
discretion of Smith Barney.
LETTER OF INTENT
Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for amounts of $50,000 or more provides
an opportunity for an investor to obtain a reduced sales charge by aggregating
investments over a 13-month period, provided that the investor refers to such
Letter when placing orders. For purposes of a Letter of Intent, the "Amount of
Investment" as referred to in the preceding sales charge table includes
purchases of all Class A shares of the Portfolio and other funds of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds offered with a sales charge over the 13-month period based
on the total amount of intended purchases plus the value of all Class A shares
previously purchased and still owned. An alternative is to compute the 13-month
period starting up to 90 days before the date of execution of a Letter of
Intent. Each investment made during the period receives the reduced sales charge
applicable
22
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to the total amount of the investment goal. If the goal is not achieved within
the period, the investor must pay the difference between the sales charges
applicable to the purchases made and the charges previously paid, or an
appropriate number of escrowed shares will be redeemed. Please contact a Smith
Barney Financial Consultant or First Data to obtain a Letter of Intent
application.
Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may also be used as a way for investors
to meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares. Such investors
must make an initial minimum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the
Portfolio and agree to purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the
same Portfolio within six months from the date of the Letter. If a total
investment of $5,000,000 is not made within the six-month period, all Class Y
shares purchased to date will be transferred to Class A shares, where they will
be subject to all fees (including a service fee of 0.15%) and expenses
applicable to the Portfolio's Class A shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%.
Please contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data for further
information.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVES
"CDSC Shares" are sold at net asset value next determined without an
initial sales charge so that the full amount of an investor's purchase payment
may be immediately invested in the Portfolio. A CDSC, however, may be imposed on
certain redemptions of these shares. "CDSC Shares" are: (a) Class B shares; (b)
Class C shares; and (c) Class A shares that were purchased without an initial
sales charge but subject to a CDSC.
Any applicable CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of
the original cost of the shares being redeemed or their net asset value at the
time of redemption. CDSC Shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a CDSC
to the extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital appreciation
of Portfolio assets; (b) reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions; (c) with respect to Class B shares, shares redeemed more than
five years after their purchase; or (d) with respect to Class C shares and Class
A shares that are CDSC Shares, shares redeemed more than 12 months after their
purchase.
Class C shares and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares are subject to a
1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. In circumstances in which
the CDSC is imposed on Class B shares, the amount of the charge will depend on
the number of years since the shareholder made the purchase payment from which
the amount is being redeemed. Solely for purposes of determining the number of
years since a purchase payment, all purchase payments made during a month will
be aggregated and deemed to have been made on the last day of the preceding
Smith Barney statement month. The following table sets forth the rates of the
charge for redemptions of Class B shares by shareholders:
23
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year Since Purchase

First 4.50%
Second 4.00
Third 3.00
Fourth 2.00
Fifth 1.00
Sixth and thereafter 0.00
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares eight years
after the date on which they were purchased and thereafter will no longer be
subject to any distribution fees. There will also be converted at that time such
proportion of Class B Dividend Shares owned by the shareholder as the total
number of his or her Class B shares converting at the time bears to the total
number of outstanding Class B shares (other than Class B Dividend Shares) owned
by the shareholder. See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements
- -- Class B Shares Conversion Feature."
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions
and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest period of
time. The length of time that CDSC Shares acquired through an exchange have been
held will be calculated from the date that the shares exchanged were initially
acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and Portfolio shares
being redeemed will be considered to represent, as applicable, capital
appreciation or dividend and capital gain distribution reinvestments in such
other funds. For Federal income tax purposes, the amount of the CDSC will reduce
the gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on the amount realized on
redemption. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to Smith Barney.
To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B shares at
$10 per share for a cost of $1,000. Subsequently, the investor acquired five
additional shares through dividend reinvestment. During the fifteenth month
after the purchase, the investor decided to redeem $500 of his or her
investment. Assuming at the time of the redemption the net asset value had
appreciated to $12 per share, the value of the investor's shares would be $1,260
(105 shares at $12 per share). The CDSC would not be applied to the amount which
represents appreciation ($200) and the value of the reinvested dividend shares
($60). Therefore, $240 of the $500 redemption proceeds ($500 minus $260) would
be charged at a rate of 4.00% (the applicable rate for Class B shares) for a
total deferred sales charge of $9.60.
WAIVERS OF CDSC
The CDSC will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see "Exchange Privilege"); (b)
automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 1.00% per month
24

Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of the value of the shareholder's shares at the time the withdrawal plan
commences (see "Automatic cash Withdrawal Plan") provided, however, that
automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per month of
the value of the shareholder's shares will be permitted for withdrawal plans
that were established prior to November 7, 1994; (c) redemptions of shares
within 12 months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (d)
involuntary redemptions; and (e) redemptions of shares to effect a combination
of the Portfolio with any investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or
otherwise. In addition, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other funds
of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all
or part of the redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit
for any CDSC imposed on the prior redemption. CDSC waivers will be granted
subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in the case of shareholders who are
also Smith Barney clients or by First Data in the case of all other
shareholders) of the shareholder's status or holdings, as the case may be.

Class B Exchanges. In the event a Class B shareholder wishes to exchange
all or a portion of his or her shares in any of the funds imposing a higher CDSC
than that imposed by the Portfolio, the exchanged Class B shares will be subject
to the higher applicable CDSC. Upon an exchange, the new Class B shares will be
deemed to have been purchased on the same date as the Class B shares of the
Portfolio that have been exchanged.
Class C Exchanges. Upon an exchange, the new Class C shares will be deemed
to have been purchased on the same date as the Class C shares of the Portfolio
that have been exchanged.
Class A and Class Y Exchanges. Class A and Class Y shareholders of the
Portfolio who wish to exchange all or a portion of their shares for shares of
the respective Class in any of the funds identified above may do so without
imposition of any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can
be detrimental to the Portfolio's performance and its shareholders. The Manager
may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is excessive and contrary to
the best interests of the Portfolio's other shareholders. In this event, the
Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional purchases and/or
exchanges by the shareholder. Upon such a determination, the Fund will provide
notice in writing or by telephone to the shareholder at least 15 days prior to
suspending the exchange privilege and during the 15-day period the shareholder
will be required to (a) redeem his or her shares in the Portfolio or (b) remain
invested in the Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds ordinarily available, which position the shareholder would be
expected to maintain for a significant period of time. All relevant factors will
be considered in determining what constitutes an abusive pattern of exchanges.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exchange Privilege (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See
"Redemption of Shares -- Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges
will be processed at the net asset value next determined. Redemption procedures
discussed below are also applicable for exchanging shares, and exchanges will be
made upon receipt of all supporting documents in proper form. If the account
registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to the
registration of the shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee is
required. A capital gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized upon the
exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed. Before
exchanging shares, investors should read the current prospectus describing the
shares to be acquired. The Portfolio reserves the right to modify or discontinue
exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Portfolio tendered to it,
as described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per
share next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no
charge other than any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the
close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next
determined.
If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request for
redemption must specify the Class being redeemed. In the event of a failure to
specify which Class, or if the investor owns fewer shares of the Class than
specified, the redemption request will be delayed until the Fund's transfer
agent receives further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's
account is not with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption
proceeds will be remitted on or before the third business day following receipt
of proper tender, except on any days on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted
under the 1940 Act in extraordinary circumstances. Generally, if the redemption
proceeds are remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds will not
be invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific instruction and Smith
Barney will benefit from the use of temporarily uninvested funds. Redemption
proceeds for shares purchased by check, other than a certified or official bank
check, will be remitted upon clearance of the check, which may take up to 10
days or more.
Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than those
held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group, or by
submitting a written request for redemption to:

Class A, B, C or Y (please specify)
c/o First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
P.O. Box 5128
Westborough, Massachusetts 01581-5128
A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are registered.
If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the certificates
must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed stock power) and
must be submitted to First Data together with the redemption request. Any
signature appearing on a share certificate, stock power or written redemption
request in excess of $2,000 must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor
institution such as a domestic bank, savings and loan institution, domestic
credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or member firm of a
national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of $2,000 or less do
not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request
is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an
investor's address of record. First Data may require additional supporting
documents for redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators,
trustees or guardians. A redemption request will not be deemed properly received
until First Data receives all required documents in proper form.
AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
The Portfolio offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under
which shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to
receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. The withdrawal plan
will be carried over on exchanges between funds or Classes of the Portfolio. Any
applicable CDSC will not be waived on amounts withdrawn by a shareholder that
exceed 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject to the
CDSC at the time the withdrawal plan commences. With respect to withdrawal plans
in effect prior to November 7, 1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on
amounts withdrawn that do not exceed 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares subject to CDSC. For further information regarding the
automatic cash withdrawal plan, shareholders should contact a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be
eligible to redeem and exchange Portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a
shareholder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a
29
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a signature guarantee, that will
be provided by First Data upon request. Alternatively, an investor may authorize
telephone redemptions on the new account application with the applicant's
signature guarantee when making his or her initial investment in the Portfolio.
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes
of the Portfolio's shares may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First
Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net
asset value next determined. Redemptions of shares (i) by retirement plans or
(ii) for which certificates have been issued are not permitted under this
program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds
mailed to his or her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated
by the shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as
the case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In
order to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a
member of the Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with a
member bank. The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee
for each wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the
shareholder's account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the
bank account designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must
complete a new Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the
shareholder's assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and
certain other documentation.
Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests may
be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open. Exchange requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are processed at the net
asset value next determined.
Additional Information Regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program. Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following
instructions communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be
genuine. The Fund and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the
identity of the caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a
shareholder's name and account number will be required and phone calls may be
recorded). The Fund reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the
telephone redemption and exchange program or to impose a charge for this service
at any time following at least seven days' prior notice to shareholders.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum Account Size
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's
account if the aggregate value of the shares held in a Portfolio account is less
than $500. If a shareholder has more than one account in this Portfolio, each
account must satisfy the minimum account size. The Fund, however, will not
redeem shares based solely on market reductions in net asset value. Before the
Fund exercises such right, shareholders will receive written notice and will be
permitted 60 days to bring the account up to the minimum to avoid involuntary
liquidation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time the Fund may include the Portfolio's yield, tax
equivalent yield, total return and average annual total return in
advertisements. In other types of sales literature, the Fund may also include
the Portfolio's distribution rate. These figures are computed separately for
Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Portfolio. These figures are
based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future
performance. The yield of a Portfolio Class refers to the net income earned by
an investment in the Class over a 30-day period ending at month end. This net
income is then annualized, i.e., the amount of income earned by the investment
during that 30-day period is assumed to be earned each 30-day period for 12
periods and is expressed as a percentage of the investment. The net income
earned on the investment for six periods is also assumed to be reinvested at the
end of the sixth 30-day period. The tax equivalent yield is calculated similarly
to the yield, except that a stated income tax rate is used to demonstrate the
taxable yield necessary to produce an after-tax yield equivalent to the
tax-exempt yield of the Class. The yield and tax equivalent yield quotations are
calculated according to a formula prescribed by the SEC to facilitate comparison
with yields quoted by other investment companies. The distribution rate is
calculated by annualizing the latest monthly distribution and dividing the
result by the maximum offering price per share as of the end of the period to
which the distribution relates. The distribution rate is not computed in the
same manner as, and therefore can be significantly different from, the
above-described yield. Total return is computed for a specified period of time
assuming deduction of the maximum sales charge, if any, from the initial amount
invested and reinvestment of all income dividends and capital gains
distributions on the reinvestment dates at prices calculated as stated in this
Prospectus, then dividing the value of the investment at the end of the period
so calculated by the initial amount invested and subtracting 100%. The standard
average annual total return, as prescribed by the SEC, is derived from this
total return, which provides the ending redeemable value. Such standard total
return information may also be accompanied with nonstandard total return
information for differing periods computed in the same manner but without
annualizing the total return or taking sales charges into account.

TRUSTEES
Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Portfolio
rests with the Fund's Trustees. The Trustees approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and the
Portfolio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manager,
custodian and transfer agent. The day to day operations of the Portfolio are
delegated to the Portfolio's investment manager. The Statement of Additional
Information contains background information regarding each Trustee and executive
officer of the Fund.
MANAGER
The Manager manages the day-to-day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to
a management agreement entered into by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio.
SBMFM was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of Delaware. SBMFM, Holdings
and Smith Barney are each located at 388 Greenwich Street New York, New York
10013. As of May 31, 1997, SBMFM had aggregate assets under management in excess
of $87 billion.
SBMFM provides the Fund with investment management services and executive
and other personnel, pays the remuneration of Fund officers, provides the Fund
with office space and equipment, furnishes the Fund with bookkeeping,
accounting, administrative services and services relating to research,
statistical work and supervision of the Portfolio. For the services provided,
the management agreement provides that the Fund will pay SBMFM an annual fee
calculated at the rate of 0.45% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets,
paid monthly. SBMFM waived part of its management fee for the portfolio for the
period ended March 31, 1997. For the past fiscal year, total operating expenses
were 0.61% of the average daily net assets for Class A shares; 1.13% of the
average daily net assets for Class B shares; and 1.17% of the average daily net
assets for Class C shares. For the current fiscal year, total expenses are
anticipated to be 0.78% of the average daily net assets for Class A shares;
1.30% of the average daily net assets for Class B shares; and 1.34% of the
average daily net assets for class C shares. The anticipated expenses for the
current fiscal year reflect the current management fee waiver in effect.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Lawrence T. McDermott, Managing Director of the Greenwich Street Advisors
division of SBMFM, has been primarily responsible for the management of the
Portfolio since it commenced operations on June 13, 1994, and for making all
investment decisions. Mr. McDermott presently serves as the portfolio manager
for other tax-exempt bond funds sponsored by Smith Barney.
Management's discussion and analysis, and additional performance
information regarding the Portfolio during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997
is included in the Annual Report dated March 31, 1997. A copy of the Annual
Report may be obtained upon request and without charge from a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or by writing or calling the Fund at the address or phone
number listed on page one of this Prospectus.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter
and as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts"
arrangement requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as
may be sold to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the
Portfolio under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid
a service fee with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the
Portfolio at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets
attributable to these Classes. Smith Barney is also paid a distribution fee with
respect to Class B and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55%,
respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to these Classes.
Class B shares that automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after
the date of original purchase will no longer be subject to a distribution fee.
The fees are used by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing
shareholder accounts and, in the case of Class B and Class C shares, to cover
expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of those shares. These
expenses include: advertising expenses; the cost of printing and mailing
prospectuses to potential investors; payments to and expenses of Smith Barney
Financial Consultants and other persons who provide support services in
connection with the distribution of shares; interest and/or carrying charges;
and indirect and overhead costs of Smith Barney associated with the sale of
Portfolio shares, including lease, utility, communications and sales promotion
expenses.
The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares of a
Class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the
time
33
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of sale and, with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, a
continuing fee for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder
remains a holder of that Class. Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive
different levels of compensation for selling the different Classes of shares.
Payments under the Plan with respect to Class B and Class C shares are not
tied exclusively to the distribution and shareholder services expenses actually
incurred by Smith Barney and the payments may exceed distribution expenses
actually incurred. The Fund's Trustees will evaluate the appropriateness of the
Plan and its payment terms on a continuing basis and in so doing will consider
all relevant factors, including expenses borne by Smith Barney, amounts received
under the Plan and proceeds of the CDSC.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund, an open-end, non-diversified management investment company, is
organized as a "Massachusetts business trust" pursuant to a Declaration of Trust
dated August 14, 1985. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have
authorized the issuance of twenty series of shares, each representing shares in
one of twenty separate Portfolios. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated
and separately managed. Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of each
Portfolio represent interests in the assets of that Portfolio and have identical
voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights on the same terms and conditions,
except that expenses related to the shareholder service and distribution of
Class A, Class B and Class C shares are borne solely by the respective Class and
each such Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to provisions
of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertain to that Class. It is
the intention of the Fund not to hold annual meetings of shareholders. The
Trustees may call meetings of shareholders for action by shareholder vote as may
be required by the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust, and shareholders are
entitled to call a meeting of shareholders upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's
outstanding shares for purposes of voting on removal of a Trustee or Trustees.
Shareholders will receive assistance in communicating with other shareholders in
connection with the removal of Trustees as required by Section 16(c) of the 1940
Act. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights and have
only such conversion or exchange rights as the Trustees may grant in their
discretion. When issued for payment as described in this Prospectus, the Fund's
shares will be fully paid and transferrable (subject to the Portfolio's minimum
account size). Shares are redeemable as set forth under "Redemption of Shares"
and are subject to involuntary redemption as set forth under "Minimum Account
Size."
PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets,
Philadelphia, PA 19103, serves as custodian of the Portfolio's investments.

Additional Information (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves
as the Fund's transfer agent.
The Fund sends to each of its shareholders a semi-annual report and an
audited annual report, which include listings of the investment securities held
by the Portfolio at the end of the period covered. In an effort to reduce the
Fund's printing and mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of
its semi-annual and annual reports by household. This consolidation means that a
household having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will
receive a single copy of each report. Shareholders who do not want this
consolidation to apply to their account should contact their Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or the Fund's transfer agent.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The New York Portfolio seeks to pay its shareholders
as high a level of monthly income exempt from Federal income taxes and from New
York State and City personal income taxes as is consistent with prudent
investing. The Portfolio may invest without limit in municipal obligations whose
interest is a tax preference for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum
tax. See "Investment Objective and Management Policies."
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS The Portfolio offers several classes of
shares ("Classes") to investors designed to provide them with the flexibility of
selecting an investment best suited to their needs. The general public is
offered three Classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C
shares, which differ principally in terms of sales charges and rate of expenses
to which they are subject. A fourth Class of shares, Class Y shares, is offered
only to investors meeting an initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. See
"Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares."
Class A Shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial
sales charge of up to 4.00% and are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% of
the average daily net assets of the Class. The initial sales charge may be
reduced or waived for certain purchases. Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000
or more will be made at net asset value with no initial sales charge, but will
be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. See "Prospectus Summary --
Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge."
Class B Shares. Class B shares are offered at net asset value subject to a
maximum CDSC of 4.50% of redemption proceeds, declining by 0.50% the first year
after purchase and by 1.00% each year thereafter to zero. This CDSC may be
waived for certain redemptions. Class B shares are subject to an annual service
fee of 0.15% and an annual distribution fee of 0.50% of the average daily net
assets of the Class. The Class B shares' distribution fee may cause that Class
to have higher expenses and pay lower dividends than Class A shares.
Class B Shares Conversion Feature. Class B shares will convert
automatically to Class A shares, based on relative net asset value, eight years
after the date of the original purchase. Upon conversion, these shares will no
longer be subject to an annual distribution fee. In addition, a certain portion
of Class B shares that have been acquired through the reinvestment of dividends
and distributions ("Class B Dividend Shares") will be converted at that time.
See "Purchase of Shares -- Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."

Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class C Shares. Class C shares are sold at net asset value with no initial
sales charge. They are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% and an annual
distribution fee of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Class, and
investors pay a CDSC of 1.00% if they redeem Class C shares within 12 months of
purchase. The CDSC may be waived for certain redemptions. The Class C shares'
distribution fee may cause that Class to have higher expenses and pay lower
dividends than Class A shares. Purchases of Portfolio shares, which when
combined with current holdings of Class C shares of the Portfolio equal or
exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, should be made in Class A shares at net asset
value with no sales charge, and will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are available only to investors meeting an
initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. Class Y shares are sold at net asset
value with no initial sales charge or CDSC. They are not subject to any service
or distribution fees.
In deciding which Class of Portfolio shares to purchase, investors should
consider the following factors, as well as any other relevant facts and
circumstances:
Intended Holding Period. The decision as to which Class of shares is more
beneficial to an investor depends on the amount and intended length of his or
her investment. Shareholders who are planning to establish a program of regular
investment may wish to consider Class A shares; as the investment accumulates
shareholders may qualify for reduced sales charges and the shares are subject to
lower ongoing expenses over the term of the investment. As an alternative, Class
B and Class C shares are sold without any initial sales charge so the entire
purchase price is immediately invested in the Portfolio. Any investment return
on these additional invested amounts may partially or wholly offset the higher
annual expenses of these Classes. Because the Portfolio's future return cannot
be predicted, however, there can be no assurance that this would be the case.
Finally, investors should consider the effect of the CDSC period and any
conversion rights of the Classes in the context of their own investment time
frame. For example, while Class C shares have a shorter CDSC period than Class B
shares, they do not have a conversion feature, and therefore, are subject to an
ongoing distribution fee. Thus, Class B shares may be more attractive than Class
C shares to investors with longer term investment outlooks.
Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge. The initial sales charge on Class A
shares may be waived for certain eligible purchasers and the entire purchase
price will be immediately invested in the Portfolio. In addition, Class A share
purchases of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset value with no initial
sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within
12 months of purchase. The $500,000 investment may be met by adding the purchase
to the net asset value of all Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in
funds sponsored

by Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") listed under "Exchange Privilege." Class A
share purchases may also be eligible for a reduced initial sales charge. See
"Purchase of Shares." Because the ongoing expenses of Class A shares may be
lower than those for Class B and Class C shares, purchasers eligible to purchase
Class A shares at net asset value or at a reduced sales charge should consider
doing so.
Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different compensation for
selling different Classes of shares. Investors should understand that the
purpose of the CDSC on the Class B and Class C shares is the same as that of the
initial sales charge on the Class A shares.
See "Purchase of Shares" and "Management of the Fund" for a complete
description of the sales charges and service and distribution fees for each
Class of shares and "Valuation of Shares," "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes"
and "Exchange Privilege" for other differences between the Classes of shares.
PURCHASE OF SHARES Shares may be purchased through a brokerage account
maintained by Smith Barney. Shares may also be purchased through a broker that
clears securities transactions through Smith Barney on a fully disclosed basis
(an "Introducing Broker") or an investment dealer in the selling group. In
addition, certain investors, including certain institutional investors, may
purchase shares directly from the Fund through the Fund's transfer agent, First
Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("First Data"). See "Purchase of Shares."
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may
open an account by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each
account. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account for an initial
investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for
all Classes. The minimum investment requirements for purchases of Portfolio
shares through the Systematic Investment Plan are described below. It is not
recommended that the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or other
qualified retirement plans. There is no minimum investment requirement in Class
A for unitholders who invest distributions from a unit investment trust ("UIT")
sponsored by Smith Barney. See "Purchase of Shares."
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Portfolio offers shareholders a Systematic
Investment Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a
purchase order each month or quarter for Portfolio shares. The minimum initial
investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the
subsequent investment requirement for all Classes for shareholders purchasing
shares through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis is $25 and on a
quarterly basis is $50. See "Purchase of Shares."
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of
Shares" and "Redemption of Shares."
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shares of a Class may be exchanged for shares of the
same Class of certain other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the
respective net asset values next determined. See "Exchange Privilege."
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Portfolio for the prior day
generally is quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is
also available from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of
Shares."
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income are paid
monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually.
See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIO Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc.
("SBMFM" or the "Manager") serves as the Portfolio's investment manager. SBMFM
provides investment advisory and management services to investment companies
affiliated with Smith Barney. SBMFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Barney
Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers
Group Inc. ("Travelers"), a diversified financial services holding company
engaged, through its subsidiaries, principally in four business segments:
Investment Services, Consumer Finance Services, Life Insurance Services and
Property & Casualty Insurance Services. See "Management of the Fund."
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of a
Class will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an
investor, in additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value.
Shares acquired by dividend and distribution reinvestments will not be subject
to any sales charge or CDSC. Class B shares acquired through dividend and
distribution reinvestments will become eligible for conversion to Class A shares
on a pro rata basis. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that the
Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The concentration of New York
Portfolio in municipal obligations involves certain additional risks that should
be considered carefully by investors. Additionally, the value of the Portfolio's
investments, and thus the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares, will
fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as well as
the financial condition and prospects of issuers of municipal obligations
purchased by the Portfolio. The market value of long-term municipal bonds may be
adversely affected during periods of rising interest rates. Additionally,
changes in Federal income tax laws affecting the tax exemption for interest on
municipal obligations could affect the availability of tax exempt obligations
for purchase and the value of the Portfolio's securities would be affected. See
"Investment Objectives and Management Policies."

THE PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and
expenses an investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a shareholder
of the Portfolio, based on the maximum sales charge or maximum CDSC that may be
incurred at the time of purchase or redemption and, unless otherwise noted, the
Portfolio's operating expenses for its most recent fiscal year:

==== ==== ==== ====
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net
asset value with no sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
** "Other expenses" for Class Y shares have been estimated because no
Class Y shares were outstanding for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
*** Upon conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, such shares will
no longer be subject to a distribution fee. Class C shares do not have a
conversion feature and, therefore, are subject to an ongoing distribution fee.
As a result, long-term shareholders of Class C shares may pay more than the
economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Class A shares of the Portfolio purchased through the Smith Barney Asset
One Program will be subject to an annual asset-based fee, payable quarterly, in
lieu of the initial sales charge. The fee will vary to a maximum of 1.50%,
depending on the amount of assets held through the Program. For more
information, please call your Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
The sales charge and CDSC set forth in the above table are the maximum
charges imposed on purchases or redemptions of Portfolio shares and investors
may actually pay lower or no charges, depending on the amount purchased and, in
the case of Class B, Class C and certain Class A shares, the length of time the
shares are held. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares." Smith
Barney receives an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.15% of the value of average
daily net assets of Class A shares. Smith Barney also receives with respect to
Class B shares an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.65% of the value of average daily net
assets of that Class, consisting of a 0.50% distribution fee and a 0.15% service
fee. With respect to Class C shares, Smith Barney also receives an annual 12b-1
fee of 0.70% of the value of average daily net assets of that Class, consisting
of a 0.55% distribution fee and a 0.15% service fee. "Other expenses" in the
above table include fees for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and
accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees.

EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding
the various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or
indirectly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses
at the levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares,"
"Redemption of Shares" and "Management of the Fund."
New York Portfolio 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years*
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investor would pay the following expenses on
a $1,000 investment, assuming (1) 5.00%
annual return and (2) redemption at the
end of each time period:
Class A............................... $47 $63 $80 $129
Class B............................... 58 70 80 139
Class C............................... 23 42 72 159
Class Y............................... 6 19 33 75
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investor would pay the following expenses on
the same investment, assuming the same annual
return and no redemption:
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years*
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A............................... $47 $63 $80 $129
Class B............................... 13 40 70 139
Class C............................... 13 42 72 159
Class Y............................... 6 19 33 75
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Ten-year figures assume conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares
at the end of the eighth year following the date of purchase.
The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense
levels of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods.
To facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, each Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. This example should not be considered a
representation of past or future expenses and actual expenses may be greater or
less than those shown.

Investment Objective and Management Policies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio seeks as high a level of income exempt from Federal income
taxes and from the personal income taxes of that state as is consistent with
prudent investing. The Portfolio will seek to be fully invested in obligations
of that state and its political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities
that were, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, exempt from such
state's as well as Federal income taxes at the time of their issuance. (For
certain shareholders, a portion of each Portfolio's income may be subject to the
alternative minimum tax ("AMT") on tax-exempt income discussed below.) Such
obligations are issued to raise money for a variety of public projects that
enhance the quality of life including health facilities, housing, airports,
schools, highways and bridges. The Portfolio invests its assets in securities of
ranging maturities, without limitation, depending on market conditions.
Typically, the remaining maturity of municipal bonds will range between 5 and 30
years.
The two principal classifications of municipal obligations are "general
obligation" and "revenue". General obligations are secured by a municipal
issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest. Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases,
from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source.
Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed
discussion about the different types of municipal obligations.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest income from municipal
obligations issued to finance certain "private activities" ("AMT-Subject Bonds")
becomes an item of "tax preference" which is subject to the AMT when received by
a person in a tax year during which he or she is subject to that tax. Such
private activity bonds include bonds issued to finance such projects as certain
solid waste disposal facilities, student loan programs, and water and sewage
projects. Because interest income on AMT-Subject Bonds is taxable to certain
investors, it is expected, although there can be no guarantee, that such
municipal obligations generally will provide somewhat higher yields than other
municipal obligations of comparable quality and maturity. There is no limitation
on the percent or amount of each Portfolio's assets that may be invested in
AMT-Subject Bonds.
Municipal bonds purchased for the Portfolio must, at the time of purchase,
be investment grade municipal bonds and at least two-thirds of the Portfolio's
municipal bonds must be rated in the category of A or better. Investment grade
bonds are those rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or
have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization; pre-refunded bonds escrowed by U.S. Treasury obligations will be
considered AAA rated even though the issuer does not obtain a new rating. Up to
one third of the assets of the Portfolio may be invested in municipal bonds
rated
12
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baa or BBB (this grade, while regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal, is considered to be of medium quality and has
speculative characteristics; in addition, changes in economic conditions or
other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make
principal and interest payments than is the case with higher grade bonds) or in
unrated municipal bonds if, based upon credit analysis by the Manager, it is
believed that such securities are at least of comparable quality to those
securities in which the Portfolio may invest. In determining the suitability of
an investment in an unrated municipal bond, the Manager will take into
consideration debt service coverage, the purpose of the financing, history of
the issuer, existence of other rated securities of the issuer and other general
conditions as may be relevant, including comparability to other issues. After
the Portfolio purchases a municipal bond, the issue may cease to be rated or its
rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase. Such an event
would not require the elimination of the issue from the Portfolio but the
Manager will consider such an event in determining whether the Portfolio should
continue to hold the security.
The Portfolio's short-term municipal obligations will be limited to high
grade obligations (obligations that are secured by the full faith and credit of
the United States or are rated MIG 1 or MIG 2, VMIG 1 or VMIG 2 or Prime-1 or Aa
or better by Moody's or SP-1+, SP-1, SP-2, or A-1 or AA or better by S&P or have
an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization or obligations determined by the Manager to be equivalent). Among
the types of short-term instruments in which the Portfolio may invest are
floating or variable rate demand instruments, tax-exempt commercial paper
(generally having a maturity of less than nine months), and other types of notes
generally having maturities of less than three years, such as Tax Anticipation
Notes, Revenue Anticipation Notes, Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes and Bond
Anticipation Notes. Demand instruments usually have an indicated maturity of
more than one year, but contain a demand feature that enables the holder to
redeem the investment on no more than 30 days' notice; variable rate demand
instruments provide for automatic establishment of a new interest rate on set
dates; floating rate demand instruments provide for automatic adjustment of
their interest rates whenever some other specified interest rate changes (e.g.,
the prime rate). The Portfolio may purchase participation interests in variable
rate tax-exempt securities (such as Industrial Development Bonds) owned by
banks. Participations are frequently backed by an irrevocable letter of credit
or guarantee of a bank that the Manager has determined meets the prescribed
quality standards for the Portfolio. Participation interests will be purchased
only if management believes interest income on such interests will be tax-exempt
when distributed as dividends to shareholders.
The Portfolio will not invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets
in illiquid securities, including those that are not readily marketable or for
which there is no established market.

Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio may purchase new issues of municipal obligations on a
when-issued basis, i.e., delivery and payment normally take place 15 to 45 days
after the purchase date. The payment obligation and the interest rate to be
received are each fixed on the purchase date, although no interest accrues with
respect to a when-issued security prior to its stated delivery date. During the
period between purchase and settlement, assets consisting of cash or liquid high
grade debt securities, marked-to-market daily, of a dollar amount sufficient to
make payment at settlement will be segregated at the custodian bank. Interest
rates at settlement may be lower or higher than on the purchase date, which
would result in appreciation or depreciation, respectively. Although the
Portfolio will only purchase a municipal obligation on a when-issued basis with
the intention of actually acquiring the securities, the Portfolio may sell these
securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable.
Portfolio transactions will be undertaken principally to accomplish each
Portfolio's objective in relation to anticipated movements in the general level
of interest rates, but a Portfolio may also engage in short-term trading
consistent with its objective.
The Portfolio may invest in zero coupon bonds. A zero coupon bond pays no
interest in cash to its holder during its life, although interest is accrued
during that period. Its value to an investor consists of the difference between
its face value at the time of maturity and the price for which it was acquired,
which is generally an amount significantly less than its face value (sometimes
referred to as a "deep discount" price). Because such securities usually trade
at a deep discount, they will be subject to greater fluctuations of market value
in response to changing interest rates than debt obligations of comparable
maturities which make periodic distributions of interest. On the other hand,
because there are no periodic interest payments to be reinvested prior to
maturity, zero coupon securities eliminate the reinvestment risk and lock in a
rate of return to maturity.
The Portfolio may invest in municipal bond index futures contracts
(currently traded on the Chicago Board of Trade) or in listed contracts based on
U.S. Government securities as a hedging policy in pursuit of its investment
objective; provided that immediately thereafter not more than 33 1/3% of its net
assets would be hedged or the amount of margin deposits on the Portfolio's
existing futures contracts would not exceed 5% of the value of its total assets.
Since any income would be taxable, it is anticipated that such investments will
be made only in those circumstances when the Manager anticipates the possibility
of an extreme change in interest rates or market conditions but does not wish to
liquidate the Portfolio's securities. A further discussion of futures contracts
and their associated risks is contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.
In each of the Fund's prior fiscal years, 100% of the Portfolio's
dividends were
14
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
exempt-interest dividends, excludable from gross income for Federal income tax
purposes. It is a fundamental policy that under normal market conditions, the
Portfolio will seek to invest 100% of its assets -- and the Portfolio will
invest not less than 80% of its assets -- in municipal obligations the interest
on which is exempt from Federal income taxes (other than the alternative minimum
tax) and not less than 65% of its assets in municipal obligations the interest
on which is also exempt from the personal income taxes of New York State in the
opinion of bond counsel to the issuers. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of
its assets in taxable fixed-income securities, but only in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States, and may invest
more than 20% of its assets in U.S. Government securities during periods when in
the Manager's opinion a temporary defensive posture is warranted, including any
period when the Fund's monies available for investment exceed such state's
municipal obligations available for purchase that meet the Fund's rating,
maturity and other investment criteria.
FACTORS AFFECTING NEW YORK
The Portfolio's ability to achieve its investment objective is dependent
upon the ability of the issuers of New York obligations to meet their continuing
obligations for the payment of principal and interest. New York State and New
York City face long-term economic problems that could seriously affect their
ability and that of other issuers of New York obligations to meet their
financial obligations.
Certain substantial issuers of New York obligations (including issuers
whose obligations may be acquired by the Portfolio) have experienced serious
financial difficulties in recent years. These difficulties have at times
jeopardized the credit standing and impaired the borrowing abilities of all New
York issuers and have generally contributed to higher interest costs for their
borrowings and fewer markets for their outstanding debt obligations. In recent
years, several different issues of municipal securities of New York State and
its agencies and instrumentalities and of New York City have been downgraded by
S&P and Moody's. On the other hand, strong demand for New York obligations has
more recently had the effect of permitting New York obligations to be issued
with yields relatively lower, and after issuance, to trade in the market at
prices relatively higher, than comparably rated municipal obligations issued by
other jurisdictions. A recurrence of the financial difficulties previously
experienced by certain issuers of New York obligations could result in defaults
or declines in the market values of those issuers' existing obligations and,
possibly, in the obligations of other issuers of New York obligations. Although
as of the date of this Prospectus, no issuers of New York obligations are in
default with respect to the payment of the municipal obligations, the occurrence
of any such default could affect adversely the market values and marketability
of all New York obligations and, consequently, the net asset value of the New
York Portfolio.

Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For each of the 1981 through 1995 fiscal years, the City achieved balanced
operating results as reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The City was required to close substantial budget gaps in recent
years in order to maintain balanced operating results, as required by laws of
the State. The City's ability to maintain balanced budgets in the future is
subject to numerous contingencies; therefore, even though the City has managed
to close substantial budget gaps in recent years in order to maintain balanced
operating results, there can be no assurance that the City will continue to
maintain a balanced budget as required by State law without additional tax or
other revenue increases or reduction in City services, which could adversely
affect the City's economic base. ("Appendix C" in the Statement of Additional
Information provides additional details.)
RISK AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Investors should realize that risk of loss is inherent in the ownership of
any securities and that the Portfolio's net asset value will fluctuate,
reflecting fluctuations in the market value of its portfolio positions. In
addition, the ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objective is
dependent on a number of factors, including the skills of the Manager in
purchasing municipal obligations whose issuers have the continuing ability to
meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The
ability to achieve a high level of income is dependent on the yields of the
securities in the portfolio. Yields on municipal obligations are the product of
a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the municipal bond
markets, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligations and
the rating of the issue. In general, the longer the maturity of a municipal
obligation, the higher the rate of interest it pays. However, a longer average
maturity is generally associated with a higher level of volatility in the market
value of a municipal obligation. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values of long-term municipal obligations generally rise. Conversely, during
periods of rising interest rates, the values of such securities generally
decline. Changes in the value of portfolio securities will not affect interest
income derived from those securities but will affect the Portfolio's net asset
value. Since the Portfolio's objective is to provide high current income, they
will invest in municipal obligations with an emphasis on income rather than
stability of net asset values.
The Fund is registered as a "non-diversified" company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), in order for New York Portfolio to have
the ability to invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any
issuer. Each Portfolio intends to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code") that limits the aggregate value of all holdings
(except U.S. Government and cash items, as defined in the Code) that exceed 5%
of the Portfolio's total assets to an aggregate amount of 50% of such assets.
Also, holdings of a single issuer (with the same exceptions) may not exceed 25%
of the Portfolio's total assets. These limits are measured at the end of each
quarter. Under the Subchapter
16
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M limits, "non-diversification" allows up to 50% of the Portfolio's total assets
to be invested in as few as two single issuers. In the event of decline of
creditworthiness or default upon the obligations of one or more such issuers
exceeding 5%, an investment in either Portfolio will entail greater risk than in
a portfolio having a policy of "diversification" because a high percentage of
the Portfolio's assets may be invested in municipal obligations of one or two
issuers. Furthermore, a high percentage of investments among few issuers may
result in a greater degree of fluctuation in the market value of the assets of
the Portfolio, and consequently a greater degree of fluctuation of the
Portfolio's net asset value, because the Portfolio will be more susceptible to
economic, political, or regulatory developments affecting these securities than
would be the case with a portfolio composed of varied obligations of more
issuers.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
Portfolio securities ordinarily are purchased from and sold to parties
acting as either principal or agent. Newly issued securities ordinarily are
purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter; other purchases and
sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it appears that the best
price or execution will be obtained. Usually no brokerage commissions, as such,
are paid by the Portfolio for purchases and sales undertaken through principal
transactions, although the price paid usually includes an undisclosed
compensation to the dealer acting as agent.
The Portfolio cannot accurately predict its portfolio turnover rate, but
anticipates that the annual turnover will not exceed 100%. An annual turnover
rate of 100% would occur when all of the securities held by the Portfolio are
replaced one time during a period of one year. The Manager will not consider
turnover rate a limiting factor in making investment decisions consistent with
the investment objective and policies of the Portfolio. See "Financial
Highlights" for the Portfolio's annual turnover rate during each year for each
of the last ten years.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valuation of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, which is currently 4:00 P.M. New York City time on
each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the value of the Portfolio's net
assets attributable to each Class by the total number of shares of the Class
outstanding.
When, in the judgment of the pricing service, quoted bid prices for
investments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the
market, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and
asked prices. Investments for which, in the judgment of the pricing service,
there is no readily obtainable market quotation (which may constitute a majority
of the portfolio
17
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valuation of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
securities) are carried at fair value of securities of similar type, yield and
maturity.
Pricing services generally determine value by reference to transactions in
municipal obligations, quotations from municipal bond dealers, market
transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between
securities. Short-term instruments maturing within 60 days will be valued at
cost plus (minus) amortized discount (premium), if any, when the Trustees have
determined that amortized cost equals fair value. Securities and other assets
that are not priced by a pricing service and for which market quotations are not
available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or under the direction
of the Trustees.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from the Portfolio's net investment income
are declared and paid monthly and any realized capital gains are declared and
distributed annually.
If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gain
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the same
Class at net asset value, subject to no sales charge or CDSC.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions that are invested are
credited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value
as of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the
option at any time by notifying his or her Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Accounts held directly by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor
Services Group, Inc. ("First Data"), should notify First Data in writing at
least five business days prior to the payment date to permit the change to be
entered in the shareholder's account.
The per share dividends on Class B and Class C shares of the Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class A and Class Y shares principally
as a result of the distribution fee applicable with respect to Class B and Class
C shares. The per share dividends on Class A shares of the Portfolio may be
lower than the per share dividends on Class Y shares principally as a result of
the service fee applicable to Class A shares. Distributions of capital gains, if
any, will be in the same amount for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y
shares.
TAXES
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" and
to meet the requirements for distributing "exempt-interest dividends" under the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") so that no Federal income taxes will be
payable by each Portfolio and dividends representing net interest received on
municipal obligations
18
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
will not be includable by shareholders in their gross income for Federal income
tax purposes. To the extent dividends are derived from taxable income from
temporary investments, market discounts or from the excess of net short-term
capital gain over net long-term capital loss, they are treated as ordinary
income whether the shareholder has elected to receive them in cash or in
additional shares. Capital gains distributions, if any, whether paid in cash or
invested in shares of the Portfolio, will be taxable to shareholders.
Exempt-interest dividends allocable to interest received by the Portfolio
from the AMT-Subject Bonds in which the Portfolio may invest will be treated as
interest paid directly on such obligations and will give rise to an "item of tax
preference" that will increase a shareholder's alternative minimum taxable
income. In addition, for corporations, alternative minimum taxable income will
be increased by a percentage of the amount by which a special measure of income
(including exempt-interest dividends) exceeds the amount otherwise determined to
be alternative minimum taxable income. Accordingly, investment in the Portfolio
may cause shareholders to be subject to (or result in an increased liability
under) the AMT. The Fund will annually furnish to its shareholders a report
indicating the ratable portion of exempt-interest dividends attributable to
AMT-Subject Bonds.
The Portfolio will be treated as a separate regulated investment company
for Federal tax purposes. Accordingly, the Portfolio's net investment income is
determined separately based on the income earned on its securities less its
costs of operations. The Portfolio's net long-term and short-term gain (loss)
realized on investments is determined after offsetting any capital loss
carryover of the Portfolio from prior periods.
NEW YORK STATE AND CITY TAXES
New York shareholders will not be subject to New York State and City
personal income tax on Portfolio dividends to the extent that such distributions
qualify as exempt-interest dividends under the Code and represent interest
income attributable to Federally tax-exempt obligations of the State of New York
and its political subdivisions (as well as certain other Federally tax-exempt
obligations the interest on which is exempt from New York State and City income
tax, such as certain obligations of U.S. Territories). To the extent that
distributions on the New York Portfolio are derived from taxable income,
including long or short-term capital gains, such distributions will not be
exempt from State or City personal income tax. Dividends on the Portfolio are
not excluded in determining New York State franchise or City business taxes on
corporations and financial institutions.
Under the Code, interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase
or carry shares of the Fund will not be deductible to the extent that the Fund's
distributions are exempt from Federal income tax. In addition, any loss realized
upon the redemption of shares held less than 6 months will be disallowed to the
extent
19
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of any exempt-interest dividends received by the shareholder during such period.
However, this holding period may be shortened by the Treasury Department to a
period of not less than the greater of 31 days or the period between regular
dividend distributions. Further, persons who may be "substantial users" (or
"related persons" of substantial users) of facilities financed by industrial
development bonds should consult their tax advisors concerning an investment in
the Fund.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important tax
considerations generally affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders.
Additional tax information of relevance to particular investors is contained in
the Statement of Additional Information. Investors are urged to consult their
tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Portfolio offers four Classes of shares. Class A shares are sold to
investors with an initial sales charge and Class B and Class C shares are sold
without an initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC payable upon certain
redemptions. Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales charge or CDSC and
are available only to investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000 (except for
purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc., for
which there is no minimum purchase amount). See "Prospectus Summary --
Alternative Purchase Arrangements" for a discussion of factors to consider in
selecting which Class of shares to purchase.
Purchases of Portfolio shares must be made through a brokerage account
maintained with Smith Barney, an Introducing Broker or an investment dealer in
the selling group. In addition, certain investors, including certain
institutional investors, may purchase shares directly from the Fund through
First Data. When purchasing shares of the Portfolio, investors must specify
whether the purchase is for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Y shares. Smith
Barney and other broker/dealers may charge their customers an annual account
maintenance fee in connection with a brokerage account through which an investor
purchases or holds shares. Accounts held directly at First Data are not subject
to a maintenance fee.
Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may open an account by
making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account. Investors in
Class Y shares may open an account by making an initial investment of
$5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for all Classes.
For shareholders purchasing shares of the Portfolio through the Systematic
Investment Plan on a monthly basis, the minimum initial investment requirement
for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the subsequent investment
requirement for all
20
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Classes is $25. For shareholders purchasing shares of the Portfolio through the
Systematic Investment Plan on a quarterly basis, the minimum initial investment
requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the subsequent
investment requirement for all Classes is $50. The minimum initial investment
requirement in the Portfolio for an account established under the Uniform Gift
to Minors Act is $250 and the subsequent investment requirement is $50. There
are no minimum investment requirements in Class A shares for employees of
Travelers and its subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, unitholders who invest
distributions from a UIT sponsored by Smith Barney, Directors or Trustees of any
of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and their spouses and children. The Fund
reserves the right to waive or change minimums, to decline any order to purchase
its shares and to suspend the offering of shares from time to time. Shares
purchased will be held in the shareholder's account by the Fund's transfer
agent, First Data. Share certificates are issued only upon a shareholder's
written request to First Data. It is not recommended that the Portfolio be used
as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or other qualified plans.
Purchase orders received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, on any day the Portfolio calculates its net asset
value, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day (the
"trade date"). Orders received by dealers or introducing brokers prior to the
close of regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net
asset value, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day,
provided the order is received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to Smith
Barney's close of business. For shares purchased through Smith Barney or
Introducing Brokers purchasing through Smith Barney, payment for Portfolio
shares is due on the third business day ("settlement date") after the trade
date. In all other cases, payment must be made with the purchase order.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Shareholders may make additions to their accounts at any time by
purchasing shares through a service known as the Systematic Investment Plan.
Under the Systematic Investment Plan, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized
through pre-authorized transfers of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least
$50 on a quarterly basis to charge the regular bank account or other financial
institution indicated by the shareholder to provide systematic additions to the
shareholder's Portfolio account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to
complete the transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or
First Data. The Systematic Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply
cash held in the shareholder's Smith Barney brokerage account or redeem the
shareholder's shares of a Smith Barney money market fund to make additions to
the account. Additional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.

500,000 and over * * *
================================================================================
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net
asset value without any initial sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of
1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC on Class A
shares is payable to Smith Barney, which compensates Smith Barney Financial
Consultants and other dealers whose clients make purchases of $500,000 or more.
The CDSC is waived in the same circumstances in which the CDSC applicable to
Class B and Class C shares is waived. See "Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives"
and "Waivers of CDSC."
Members of the selling group may receive up to 90% of the sales charge and
may be deemed to be underwriters of the Fund as defined in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
The reduced sales charges shown above apply to the aggregate of purchases
of Class A shares of the Portfolio made at one time by "any person," which
includes an individual and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or other
fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary account.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE WAIVERS
Purchases of Class A shares may be made at net asset value without a sales
charge in the following circumstances: (a) sales to (i) Board Members and
employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries and any of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds (including retired Board Members and employees); the immediate families of
such persons (including the surviving spouse of a deceased Board Member or
employee); and to a pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for such
persons and (ii) employees of members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., provided such sales are made upon the assurance of the purchaser
that the purchase is made for investment purposes and that the securities will
not be resold except through redemption or repurchase; (b) offers of Class A
shares to any other investment company to effect the combination of such company
with the Portfolio by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise; (c) purchases
of Class A shares by any client of a newly employed Smith Barney Financial
Consultant (for a period up to 90 days from the commencement of the Financial
Consultant's employment with
22
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney), on the condition the purchase of Class A shares is made with the
proceeds of the redemption of shares of a mutual fund which (i) was sponsored by
the Financial Consultant's prior employer, (ii) was sold to the client by the
Financial Consultant and (iii) was subject to a sales charge; (d) purchases by
shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares in a Portfolio (or Class A shares
of another fund of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds that are offered with a sales
charge) and who wish to reinvest their redemption proceeds in the Portfolio,
provided the reinvesment is made within 60 calendar days of the redemption; (e)
purchases by accounts managed by registered investment advisory subsidiaries of
Travelers; (f) investments of distributions from a UIT sponsored by Smith
Barney; and (g) purchases by investors participating in a Smith Barney fee based
arrangement. In order to obtain such discounts, the purchaser must provide
sufficient information at the time of purchase to permit verification that the
purchase would qualify for the elimination of the sales charge.
RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION
Class A shares of the Portfolio may be purchased by "any person" (as
defined above) at a reduced sales charge or at net asset value determined by
aggregating the dollar amount of the new purchase and the total net asset value
of all Class A shares of the Portfolio and of funds sponsored by Smith Barney
which are offered with a sales charge listed under "Exchange Privilege" then
held by such person and applying the sales charge applicable to such aggregate.
In order to obtain such discount, the purchaser must provide sufficient
information at the time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase
qualifies for the reduced sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to
modification or discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares purchased
thereafter.
GROUP PURCHASES
Upon completion of certain automated systems, a reduced sales charge or
purchase at net asset value will also be available to employees (and partners)
of the same employer purchasing as a group, provided each participant makes the
minimum initial investment required. The sales charge applicable to purchases by
each member of such a group will be determined by the table set forth above
under "Initial Sales Charge Alternative -- Class A Shares," and will be based
upon the aggregate sales of Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered
with a sales charge to, and share holdings of, all members of the group. To be
eligible for such reduced sales charges or to purchase at net asset value, all
purchases must be pursuant to an employer- or partnership-sanctioned plan
meeting certain requirements. One such requirement is that the plan must be open
to specified partners or employees of the employer and its subsidiaries, if any.
Such plan may, but is not required to, provide for payroll deductions. Smith
Barney may also offer a reduced sales charge or net asset value purchase for
aggregating related fiduciary accounts under such conditions
23
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
that Smith Barney will realize economies of sales efforts and sales related
expenses. An individual who is a member of a qualified group may also purchase
Class A shares at the reduced sales charge applicable to the group as a whole.
The sales charge is based upon the aggregate dollar value of Class A shares
offered with a sales charge that have been previously purchased and are still
owned by the group, plus the amount of the current purchase. A "qualified group"
is one which (a) has been in existence for more than six months, (b) has a
purpose other than acquiring Portfolio shares at a discount and (c) satisfies
uniform criteria which enable Smith Barney to realize economies of scale in its
costs of distributing shares. A qualified group must have more than 10 members,
must be available to arrange for group meetings between representatives of the
Portfolio and the members, and must agree to include sales and other materials
related to the Portfolio in its publications and mailings to members at no cost
to Smith Barney. In order to obtain such reduced sales charge or to purchase at
net asset value, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time
of purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced
sales charge. Approval of group purchase reduced sales charge plans is subject
to the discretion of Smith Barney.
LETTER OF INTENT
Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for amounts of $50,000 or more provides
an opportunity for an investor to obtain a reduced sales charge by aggregating
investments over a 13 month period, provided that the investor refers to such
Letter when placing orders. For purposes of a Letter of Intent, the "Amount of
Investment" as referred to in the preceding sales charge table includes
purchases of all Class A shares of the Portfolio and other funds of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds offered with a sales charge over the 13 month period based
on the total amount of intended purchases plus the value of all Class A shares
previously purchased and still owned. An alternative is to compute the 13 month
period starting up to 90 days before the date of execution of a Letter of
Intent. Each investment made during the period receives the reduced sales charge
applicable to the total amount of the investment goal. If the goal is not
achieved within the period, the investor must pay the difference between the
sales charges applicable to the purchases made and the charges previously paid,
or an appropriate number of escrowed shares will be redeemed. Please contact a
Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data to obtain a Letter of Intent
application.
Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may also be used as a way for investors
to meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares. Such investors
must make an initial minimum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the
Portfolio and agree to purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the
same Portfolio within six months from the date of the Letter. If a total
investment of $5,000,000 is not made within the six-month period, all Class Y
shares purchased to date will be transferred to Class A shares, where they will
be subject to all fees (including a

service fee of 0.15%) and expenses applicable to the Portfolio's Class A shares,
which may include a CDSC of 1.00%. Please contact a Smith Barney Financial
Consultant or First Data for further information.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVES
"CDSC Shares" are sold at net asset value next determined without an
initial sales charge so that the full amount of an investor's purchase payment
may be immediately invested in a Portfolio. A CDSC, however, may be imposed on
certain redemptions of these shares. "CDSC Shares" are: (a) Class B shares; (b)
Class C shares; and (c) Class A shares that were purchased without an initial
sales charge but subject to a CDSC.
Any applicable CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of
the original cost of the shares being redeemed or their net asset value at the
time of redemption. CDSC Shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a CDSC
to the extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital appreciation
of Portfolio assets; (b) reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions; (c) with respect to Class B shares, shares redeemed more than
five years after their purchase; or (d) with respect to Class C shares and Class
A shares that are CDSC Shares, shares redeemed more than 12 months after their
purchase.
Class C shares and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares are subject to a
1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. In circumstances in which
the CDSC is imposed on Class B shares, the amount of the charge will depend on
the number of years since the shareholder made the purchase payment from which
the amount is being redeemed. Solely for purposes of determining the number of
years since a purchase payment, all purchase payments made during a month will
be aggregated and deemed to have been made on the last day of the preceding
Smith Barney statement month. The following table sets forth the rates of the
charge for redemptions of Class B shares by shareholders:
Year Since Purchase
Payment Was Made CDSC
---------------------------------------------------
First 4.50%
Second 4.00
Third 3.00
Fourth 2.00
Fifth 1.00
Sixth and thereafter 0.00
Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares eight years
after the date on which they were purchased and thereafter will no longer be
subject to any distribution fees. There will also be converted at that time such
proportion of Class B Dividend Shares owned by the shareholder as the total
number of his or
25
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
her Class B shares converting at the time bears to the total number of
outstanding Class B shares (other than Class B Dividend Shares) owned by the
shareholder. See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements --
Class B Shares Conversion Feature."
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions
and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest period of
time. The length of time that CDSC Shares acquired through an exchange have been
held will be calculated from the date that the shares exchanged were initially
acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and Portfolio shares
being redeemed will be considered to represent, as applicable, capital
appreciation or dividend and capital gain distribution reinvestments in such
other funds. For Federal income tax purposes, the amount of the CDSC will reduce
the gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on the amount realized on
redemption. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to Smith Barney.
To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B shares at
$10 per share for a cost of $1,000. Subsequently, the investor acquired 5
additional shares through dividend reinvestment. During the fifteenth month
after the purchase, the investor decided to redeem $500 of his or her
investment. Assuming at the time of the redemption the net asset value had
appreciated to $12 per share, the value of the investor's shares would be $1,260
(105 shares at $12 per share). The CDSC would not be applied to the amount which
represents appreciation ($200) and the value of the reinvested dividend shares
($60). Therefore, $240 of the $500 redemption proceeds ($500 minus $260) would
be charged at a rate of 4.00% (the applicable rate for Class B shares) for a
total deferred sales charge of $9.60.
WAIVERS OF CDSC
The CDSC will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see "Exchange Privilege"); (b)
automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 1.00% per month of
the value of the shareholder's shares at the time the withdrawal plan commences
(see "Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan") (provided, however, that automatic cash
withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares will be permitted for withdrawal plans that were
established prior to November 7, 1994); (c) redemptions of shares within twelve
months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (d) involuntary
redemptions; and (e) redemptions of shares to effect a combination of the
Portfolio with any investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or
otherwise. In addition, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other funds
of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all
or part of the redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit
for any CDSC imposed on the prior redemption.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
deemed to have been purchased on the same date as the Class B shares of the
Portfolio that have been exchanged.
Class C Exchanges. Upon an exchange, the new Class C shares will be deemed
to have been purchased on the same date as the Class C shares of the Portfolio
that have been exchanged.
Class A and Class Y Exchanges. Class A and Class Y shareholders of the
Portfolio who wish to exchange all or a portion of their shares for shares of
the respective Class in any of the funds identified above may do so without
imposition of any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can
be detrimental to a Portfolio's performance and its shareholders. The investment
manager may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is excessive and
contrary to the best interests of the Portfolio's other shareholders. In this
event, the Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional purchases
and/or exchanges by the shareholder. Upon such a determination, the Fund will
provide notice in writing or by telephone to the shareholder at least 15 days
prior to suspending the exchange privilege and during the 15 day period the
shareholder will be required to (a) redeem his or her shares in the Portfolio or
(b) remain invested in the Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds of the
Smith Barney Mutual Funds ordinarily available, which position the shareholder
would be expected to maintain for a significant period of time. All relevant
factors will be considered in determining what constitutes an abusive pattern of
exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See
"Redemption of Shares -- Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program". Exchanges
will be processed at the net asset value next determined. Redemption procedures
discussed below are also applicable for exchanging shares, and exchanges will be
made upon receipt of all supporting documents in proper form. If the account
registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to the
registration of the shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee is
required. A capital gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized upon the
exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed. Before
exchanging shares, investors should read the current prospectus describing the
shares to be acquired. The Portfolio reserves the right to modify or discontinue
exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Portfolio tendered to it,
as described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per
share next
29
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no charge other
than any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the close of
regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next determined.
If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request for redemption
must specify the Class being redeemed. In the event of a failure to specify
which Class, or if the investor owns fewer shares of the Class than specified,
the redemption request will be delayed until the Fund's transfer agent receives
further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's account is not
with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption proceeds will
be remitted on or before the third business day following receipt of proper
tender, except on any days on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted under the
1940 Act in extraordinary circumstances. Generally, if the redemption proceeds
are remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds will not be
invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific instruction and Smith
Barney will benefit from the use of temporarily uninvested funds. Redemption
proceeds for shares purchased by check, other than a certified or official bank
check, will be remitted upon clearance of the check, which may take up to ten
days or more.
Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than those
held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group or by
submitting a written request for redemption to:
Smith Barney Muni Funds/New York Portfolio
Class A, B, C or Y (please specify)
c/o First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
P.O. Box 5128
Boston, Massachusetts 01581-5128
A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are registered.
If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the certificates
must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed stock power) and
must be submitted to First Data together with the redemption request. Any
signature appearing on a share certificate, stock power or written redemption
request in excess of $2,000 must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor
institution such as a domestic bank, savings and loan institution, domestic
credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or member firm of a
national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of $2,000 or less do
not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request
is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an
investor's address of record. First Data may require additional supporting
documents for redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators,
trustees or guardians. A redemption request will not be deemed properly received
until First Data receives all required documents in proper form.

Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be
eligible to redeem and exchange Portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a
shareholder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, including a
signature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon request.
(Alternatively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new
account application with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his/her
initial investment in the Portfolio.)
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes
of the Portfolio's shares may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First
Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net
asset value next determined. Redemptions of shares (i) by retirement plans or
(ii) for which certificates have been issued are not permitted under this
program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds
mailed to his/her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by
the shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the
case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In order
to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a member of
the Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with a member
bank. The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee for each
wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the
shareholder's account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the
bank account designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must
complete a new Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the
shareholder's assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and
certain other documentation.
Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests may
be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open. Exchange requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are processed at the net
asset value next determined.
Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program. Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following
instructions communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be
genuine. The Fund and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the
identity of the caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a
shareholder's name and account number will be required and phone calls may be
recorded). The Fund reserves the
31
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
right to suspend, modify or discontinue the telephone redemption and exchange
program or to impose a charge for this service at any time following at least
seven (7) days prior notice to shareholders.
AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
The Portfolio offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under
which shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to
receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. The withdrawal plan
will be carried over on exchanges between funds or Classes of the Portfolio. Any
applicable CDSC will not be waived on amounts withdrawn by a shareholder that
exceed 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject to the
CDSC at the time the withdrawal plan commences. (With respect to withdrawal
plans in effect prior to November 7, 1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on
amounts withdrawn that do not exceed 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares subject to the CDSC.) For further information regarding the
automatic cash withdrawal plan, shareholders should contact a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum Account Size
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's
account if the aggregate value of the shares held in a Portfolio account is less
than $500. (If a shareholder has more than one account in the Portfolio, each
account must satisfy the minimum account size.) The Fund, however, will not
redeem shares based solely on market reductions in net asset value. Before the
Fund exercises such right, shareholders will receive written notice and will be
permitted 60 days to bring the account up to the minimum to avoid involuntary
liquidation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time the Portfolio may advertise its yield, tax equivalent
yield, total return and average annual total return in advertisements. In
addition, in other types of sales literature the Portfolio may include its
distribution rate. These figures are computed separately for Class A, Class B,
Class C and Class Y shares of the Portfolio. These figures are based on
historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The
yield of a Portfolio Class refers to the net income earned by investments in the
Class over a thirty-day period ending at month end. This net income is then
annualized, i.e., the amount of income earned by the investments during that
30-day period is assumed to be earned each 30-day period for twelve periods and
is expressed as a percentage of the
32
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
investments. The tax equivalent yield is calculated similarly to the yield,
except that a stated income tax rate is used to demonstrate the taxable yield
necessary to produce an after-tax yield equivalent to the tax-exempt yield of
the Class. The yield and tax equivalent yield quotations are calculated
according to a formula prescribed by the SEC to facilitate comparison with
yields quoted by other investment companies. The distribution rate is calculated
by annualizing the latest monthly distribution and dividing the result by the
maximum offering price per share as of the end of the period to which the
distribution relates. The distribution rate is not computed in the same manner
as, and therefore can be significantly different from, the above described
yield. Total return is computed for a specified period of time assuming
deduction of the maximum sales charge, if any, from the initial amount invested
and reinvestment of all income dividends and capital gain distributions on the
reinvestment dates at prices calculated as stated in this Prospectus, then
dividing the value of the investment at the end of the period so calculated by
the initial amount invested and subtracting 100%. The standard average annual
total return, as prescribed by the SEC, is derived from this total return, which
provides the ending redeemable value. Such standard total return information may
also be accompanied with nonstandard total return information for differing
periods computed in the same manner but without annualizing the total return or
taking sales charges into account. The Portfolio may also include comparative
performance information in advertising or marketing its shares. Such performance
information may include data from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and other
financial publications.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management of the Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES
Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund rests
with the Fund's Trustees. The Trustees approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and the
Portfolio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manager,
custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Portfolio are
delegated to the Portfolio's investment manager. The Statement of Additional
Information contains background information regarding each Trustee and executive
officer of the Fund.
MANAGER
Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM" or the "Manager")
manages the day-to-day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to a management
agreement entered into by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio. SBMFM was
incorporated in 1968 under the laws of Delaware. SBMFM, Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. and Smith Barney are each located at 388 Greenwich Street,
33
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management of the Fund (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New York, New York 10013. As of June 30, 1997 SBMFM had aggregate assets under
management in excess of $89 billion.
SBMFM provides the Portfolio with investment management services and
executive and other personnel, pays the remuneration of Fund officers, provides
the Fund with office space and equipment, furnishes the Fund with bookkeeping,
accounting, administrative services and services relating to research,
statistical work and supervision of the Portfolio. At a Meeting of Shareholders
of the Portfolio held on December 15, 1995, the shareholders approved a new
management agreement that increased the effective management fee paid by Smith
Barney Muni Funds on behalf of the Portfolio from 0.45% to 0.50% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets. The new management agreement also provides
that the Portfolio's investment manager shall voluntarily reduce its fee to the
extent that in any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio,
exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest, and extraordinary expenses, such as
litigation and indemnification expenses, exceed 0.70% of such Portfolio's
average daily net assets. (Certain Class specific expenses, such as 12b-1 fees,
will also continue to be excluded when determining whether the expense
limitation applies.) Previously, the expense limitation was 0.65%. The change in
the rate of the expense limitation corresponds to the change in the rate of the
management fee. The expense limitation shall be in effect until it is terminated
by notice to shareholders and by supplement to the current prospectus. The
increased management fee and expense limitation became effective on December 18,
1995.
Total expenses for the Portfolio's average net assets for the last fiscal
year were: 0.75%, 1.27% and 1.32% for Class A, Class B and Class C shares,
respectively.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Peter M. Coffey, a Managing Director of Smith Barney has served as Vice
President of the Fund and portfolio manager of the New York Portfolio since
their inception (January 16, 1987) and manages the day to day operations of the
Portfolio, including making all investment decisions. Mr. Coffey also serves as
the portfolio manager for many of the Fund's other non-money market Portfolios.
Management's discussion and analysis, and additional performance
information regarding the Portfolio during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997
is included in the Annual Report dated March 31, 1997. A copy of the Annual
Report may be obtained upon request and without charge from a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or by writing or calling the Fund at the address or phone
number listed on page one of this Prospectus.
34
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter
and as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts"
arrangement requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as
may be sold to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the
Portfolio under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid
a service fee with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the
Portfolio at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets
attributable to these Classes. Smith Barney is also paid a distribution fee with
respect to Class B and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55%,
respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to these Classes.
Class B shares that automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after
the date of original purchase, will no longer be subject to a distribution fee.
The fees are used by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing
shareholder accounts and, in the case of Class B and Class C shares, to cover
expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of those shares. These
expenses include: advertising expenses; the cost of printing and mailing
prospectuses to potential investors; payments to and expenses of Smith Barney
Financial Consultants and other persons who provide support services in
connection with the distribution of shares; interest and/or carrying charges;
and indirect and overhead costs of Smith Barney associated with the sale of
Portfolio shares, including lease, utility, communications and sales promotion
expenses.
The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares of a
Class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the
time of sale and, with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, a
continuing fee for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder
remains a holder of that Class. Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive
different levels of compensation for selling the different Classes of shares.
Payments under the Plan with respect to Class B and Class C shares are not
tied exclusively to the distribution and shareholder services expenses actually
incurred by Smith Barney and the payments may exceed distribution expenses
actually incurred. The Fund's Trustees will evaluate the appropriateness of the
Plan and its payment terms on a continuing basis and in so doing will consider
all relevant factors, including expenses borne by Smith Barney, amounts received
under the Plan and proceeds of the CDSC.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund, an open-end, non-diversified management investment company, is
organized as a "Massachusetts business trust" pursuant to a Declaration of Trust
dated August 14, 1985. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have
authorized the issuance of twenty series of shares, each representing shares in
one
35
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Information (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of twenty separate Portfolios. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated and
separately managed. Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the
Portfolio represent interests in the assets of the Portfolio and have identical
voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights on the same terms and conditions
except that expenses related to the shareholder service and distribution of
Class A, Class B and Class C shares are borne solely by the respective Class and
each such Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to provisions
of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertain to that Class. (It is
the intention of the Fund not to hold annual meetings of shareholders. The
Trustees may call meetings of shareholders for action by shareholder vote as may
be required by the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust, and shareholders are
entitled to call a meeting upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's outstanding shares
for purposes of voting on removal of a Trustee or Trustee and the Fund will
assist shareholders in calling such a meeting as required by the 1940 Act.)
Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights and have only
such conversion or exchange rights as the Trustees may grant in their
discretion. When issued for payment as described in this Prospectus, the Fund's
shares will be fully paid and transferable (subject to the Portfolio's minimum
account size). Shares are redeemable as set forth under "Redemption of Shares"
and are subject to involuntary redemption as set forth under "Minimum Account
Size."
PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets,
Philadelphia, PA 19103, serves as custodian of each Portfolio's investments.
First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves
as the Fund's transfer agent.
The Fund sends its shareholders a semi-annual report and an audited annual
report, which include listings of the investment securities held by the Fund at
the end of the period covered. In an effort to reduce the Fund's printing and
mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of its semi-annual and
annual reports by household. This consolidation means that a household having
multiple accounts with the identical address of record will receive a single
copy of each report. Shareholders who do not want this consolidation to apply to
their account should contact their Smith Barney Financial Consultant or the
Fund's transfer agent.

Prospectus Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information. Cross references in this summary are to headings in the Prospectus.
See "Table of Contents."
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Portfolio seeks to pay its shareholders as high a
level of income exempt from Federal income taxes and Pennsylvania personal
income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing. The Portfolio will invest
primarily in obligations issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its
political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities. The Portfolio may invest
without limit in municipal obligations whose interest is a tax-preference item
for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax. The Portfolio may invest
without limit in municipal obligations whose interest is a tax preference for
purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax. See "Investment Objective and
Management Policies."
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS The Portfolio offers several classes of
shares ("Classes") to investors designed to provide them with the flexibility of
selecting an investment best suited to their needs. The general public is
offered three Classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C
shares, which differ principally in terms of sales charges and rate of expenses
to which they are subject. A fourth Class of shares, Class Y shares, is offered
only to investors meeting an initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. See
"Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares."
Class A Shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial
sales charge of up to 4.00% and are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% of
the average daily net assets of the Class. The initial sales charge may be
reduced or waived for certain purchases. Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000
or more will be made at net asset value with no initial sales charge, but will
be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. See "Prospectus Summary - Reduced
or No Initial Sales Charge."
Class B Shares. Class B shares are offered at net asset value subject to a
maximum CDSC of 4.50% of redemption proceeds, declining by 0.50% the first year
after purchase and by 1.00% each year thereafter to zero. This CDSC may be
waived for certain redemptions. Class B shares are subject to an annual service
fee of 0.15% and an annual distribution fee of 0.50% of the average daily net
assets of the Class. The Class B shares' distribution fee may cause that Class
to have higher expenses and pay lower dividends than Class A shares.
Class B Shares Conversion Feature. Class B shares will convert
automatically to Class A shares, based on relative net asset value, eight years
after the date of the original purchase. Upon conversion, these shares will no
longer be subject to an annual distribution fee. In addition, a certain portion
of Class B shares that have
3
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prospectus Summary (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
been acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions ("Class B
Dividend Shares") will be converted at that time. See "Purchase of Shares --
Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."
Class C Shares. Class C shares are sold at net asset value with no initial
sales charge. They are subject to an annual service fee of 0.15% and an annual
distribution fee of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Class, and
investors pay a CDSC of 1.00% if they redeem Class C shares within 12 months of
purchase. The CDSC may be waived for certain redemptions. The Class C shares'
distribution fee may cause that Class to have higher expenses and pay lower
dividends than Class A shares. Purchases of Portfolio shares, which when
combined with current holdings of Class C shares of the Portfolio equal or
exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, should be made in Class A shares at net asset
value with no sales charge, and will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are available only to investors meeting an
initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. Class Y shares are sold at net asset
value with no initial sales charge or CDSC. They are not subject to any service
or distribution fees.
In deciding which Class of Portfolio shares to purchase, investors should
consider the following factors, as well as any other relevant facts and
circumstances:
Intended Holding Period. The decision as to which Class of shares is more
beneficial to an investor depends on the amount and intended length of his or
her investment. Shareholders who are planning to establish a program of regular
investment may wish to consider Class A shares; as the investment accumulates
shareholders may qualify for reduced sales charges and the shares are subject to
lower ongoing expenses over the term of the investment. As an alternative, Class
B and Class C shares are sold without any initial sales charge so the entire
purchase price is immediately invested in the Portfolio. Any investment return
on these additional invested amounts may partially or wholly offset the higher
annual expenses of these Classes. Because the Portfolio's future return cannot
be predicted, however, there can be no assurance that this would be the case.
Finally, investors should consider the effect of the CDSC period and any
conversion rights of the Classes in the context of their own investment time
frame. For example, while Class C shares have a shorter CDSC period than Class B
shares, they do not have a conversion feature, and therefore, are subject to an
ongoing distribution fee. Thus, Class B shares may be more attractive than Class
C shares to investors with longer term investment outlooks.
Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge. The initial sales charge on Class A
shares may be waived for certain eligible purchasers and the entire purchase
price will be immediately invested in the Portfolio. In addition, Class A share
purchases of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset value with no initial
sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within
12 months of
4

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
purchase. The $500,000 investment may be met by adding the purchase to the net
asset value of all Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in funds
sponsored by Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") listed under "Exchange
Privilege." Class A share purchases may also be eligible for a reduced initial
sales charge. See "Purchase of Shares." Because the ongoing expenses of Class A
shares may be lower than those for Class B and Class C shares, purchasers
eligible to purchase Class A shares at net asset value or at a reduced sales
charge should consider doing so.
Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different compensation for
selling different Classes of shares. Investors should understand that the
purpose of the CDSC on the Class B and Class C shares is the same as that of the
initial sales charge on the Class A shares.
See "Purchase of Shares" and "Management of the Fund" for a complete
description of the sales charges and service and distribution fees for each
Class of shares and "Valuation of Shares," "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes"
and "Exchange Privilege" for other differences between the Classes of shares.
PURCHASE OF SHARES Shares may be purchased through a brokerage account
maintained by Smith Barney. Shares may also be purchased through a broker that
clears securities transactions through Smith Barney on a fully disclosed basis
(an "Introducing Broker") or an investment dealer in the selling group. In
addition, certain investors, including certain institutional investors, may
purchase shares directly from the Fund through the Fund's transfer agent, First
Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("First Data"). See "Purchase of Shares."
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may
open an account by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each
account. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account for an initial
investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for
all Classes. The minimum investment requirements for purchases of Portfolio
shares through the Systematic Investment Plan are described below. It is not
recommended that the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or other
qualified retirement plans. There is no minium investment requirement in
Class A for unitholders who invest distributions from a unit investment trust
("UIT") sponsored by Smith Barney. See "Purchase of Shares."
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Portfolio offers shareholders a Systematic
Investment Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a
purchase order each month or quarter for Portfolio shares. The minimum initial
investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the
subsequent investment requirement for all Classes for shareholders purchasing
shares through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis is $25 and on a
quarterly basis is $50. See "Purchase of Shares."
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of Shares" and
"Redemption of Shares."

MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIO Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc.
("SBMFM" or the "Manager") serves as the Portfolio's investment manager. SBMFM
provides investment advisory and management services to investment companies
affiliated with Smith Barney. SBMFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Barney
Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers
Group Inc. ("Travelers"), a diversified financial services holding company
engaged, through its subsidiaries, principally in four business segments:
Investment Services, Consumer Finance Services, Life Insurance Services and
Property & Casualty Insurance Services. See "Management of the Fund."
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shares of a Class may be exchanged for shares of the
same Class of certain other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the
respective net asset values next determined. See "Exchange Privilege."
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Portfolio for the prior day
generally is quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is
also available from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of
Shares."
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income are paid
monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually.
See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of a
Class will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an
investor, in additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value.
Shares acquired by dividend and distribution reinvestments will not be subject
to any sales charge or CDSC. Class B shares acquired through dividend and
distribution reinvestments will become eligible for conversion to Class A shares
on a pro rata basis. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that the
Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The Portfolio's concentration
in Pennsylvania obligations involves certain additional risks that should be
considered carefully by an investor. Additionally, the value of the Portfolio's
investments, and thus the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares, will
fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as well as
the financial condition and prospects of issuers of municipal obligations
purchased by the Portfolio. The market value of long-term municipal bonds may be
adversely affected during periods of rising interest rates. Additionally,
changes in Federal income tax laws affecting the tax exemption for interest on
municipal obligations could affect the availability of tax exempt obligations
for purchase and the value of the Portfolio's securities would be affected. See
"Investment Objective and Management Policies."

THE PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and
expenses an investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a shareholder
of the Portfolio, based on the maximum sales charge or maximum CDSC that may be
incurred at the time of purchase or redemption and, unless otherwise noted, the
Portfolio's operating expenses for its most recent fiscal year:

</TABLE>
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset
value with no sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.
** "Management fees" have been restated to reflect the management fee
waiver currently in effect for the Portfolio. Absent the fee waiver, the
management fee would be incurred at the rate of 0.45% of each Class' average
daily net assets for the current fiscal period. Absent the fee waiver, total
expenses would be at the rates of 0.82%, 1.33%, 1.39% and 0.67% for Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. For Class Y shares "Other
expenses" have been estimated because no Class Y shares were outstanding during
the period ended March 31, 1997.
*** Upon conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, such shares will
no longer be subject to a distribution fee. Class C shares do not have a
conversion feature and, therefore, are subject to an ongoing distribution fee.
As a result, long-term shareholders of Class C shares may pay more than the
economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Class A shares of the Portfolio purchased through the Smith Barney AssetOne
Program will be subject to an annual asset-based fee, payable quarterly, in lieu
of the initial sales charge. The fee will vary to a maximum of 1.50%, depending
on the amount of assets held through the Program. For more information, please
call your Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
The sales charge and CDSC set forth in the above table are the maximum
charges imposed on purchases or redemptions of Portfolio shares and investors
may actually pay lower or no charges, depending on the amount purchased and, in
the

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
case of Class B, Class C and certain Class A shares, the length of time the
shares are held. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares." Smith
Barney receives an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.15% of the value of average
daily net assets of Class A shares. Smith Barney also receives with respect to
Class B shares an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.65% of the value of average daily net
assets of that Class, consisting of a 0.50% distribution fee and a 0.15% service
fee. With respect to Class C shares, Smith Barney also receives an annual 12b-1
fee of 0.70% of the value of average daily net assets of that Class, consisting
of a 0.55% distribution fee and a 0.15% service fee. "Other expenses" in the
above table include fees for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and
accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees.
EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding
the various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or
indirectly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses
at the levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares,"
"Redemption of Shares" and "Management of the Fund."

An investor would pay the following expenses
on a $1,000 investment, assuming (1) 5.00%
annual return and (2) redemption at the end
of each time period:
Class A................................ $47 $63 $80 $129
Class B................................ 58 70 79 138
Class C................................ 23 42 72 159
Class Y................................ 6 19 33 75
An investor would pay the following expenses
on the same investment, assuming the same
annual return and no redemption:
Class A................................ $47 $63 $80 $129
Class B................................ 13 40 69 138
Class C................................ 13 42 72 159
Class Y................................ 6 19 33 75
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Ten-year figures assume conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares at
the end of the eighth year following the date of purchase.
The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense
levels of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods.
To facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, the Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. This example should not be considered a
representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or
less than those shown.

Investment Objective and Management Policies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio seeks as high a level of income exempt from Federal income
taxes and from the personal income taxes of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as
is consistent with prudent investing. The Portfolio will invest primarily in
obligations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its political subdivisions,
agencies and instrumentalities, the interest from which is, in the opinion of
bond counsel for the various issuers, exempt from the state's as well as Federal
income taxes at the time of their issuance. (For certain shareholders, a portion
of the Portfolio's income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax ("AMT")
on tax-exempt income discussed below.) Such obligations are issued to raise
money for a variety of public projects that enhance the quality of life
including health facilities, housing, airports, schools, highways and bridges.
The Portfolio invests its assets in securities of ranging maturities, without
limitation, depending on market conditions. Typically, the remaining maturity of
municipal bonds will range between 5 and 30 years.
The two principal classifications of municipal obligations are "general
obligation" and "revenue". General obligations are secured by a municipal
issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest. Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases from
the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source. Please
see the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion about
the different types of municipal obligations.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest income from municipal
obligations issued to finance certain "private activities" ("AMT-Subject Bonds")
becomes an item of "tax preference" which is subject to the AMT when received by
a person in a tax year during which he is subject to that tax. Such private
activity bonds include bonds issued to finance such projects as certain solid
waste disposal facilities, student loan programs, and water and sewage projects.
Because interest income on AMT-Subject Bonds is taxable to certain investors, it
is expected, although there can be no guarantee, that such municipal obligations
generally will provide somewhat higher yields than other municipal obligations
of comparable quality and maturity. There is no limitation on the percent or
amount of the Portfolio's assets that may be invested in AMT-Subject Bonds.
Municipal bonds purchased for the Portfolio must, at the time of purchase,
be investment grade municipal bonds and at least two-thirds of the Portfolio's
municipal bonds must be rated in the category of A or better. Investment grade
bonds are those rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") and AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or
have an equivalent rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization; pre-refunded bonds escrowed by U.S. Treasury obligations will be
considered AAA rated even though the issuer does not obtain a new rating. Up to
11
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
one-third of the assets of the Portfolio may be invested in municipal bonds
rated Baa or BBB (this grade, while regarded as having an adequate capacity to
pay interest and repay principal, is considered to be of medium quality and has
speculative characteristics) or in unrated municipal bonds if, based upon credit
analysis by the Manager, it is believed that such securities are at least of
comparable quality to those securities in which the Portfolio may invest. In
determining the suitability of an investment in an unrated municipal bond, the
Manager will take into consideration debt service coverage, the purpose of the
financing, history of the issuer, existence of other rated securities of the
issuer and other general conditions as may be relevant, including comparability
to other issues. After the Portfolio purchases a municipal bond, the issue may
cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum required for
purchase. Such an event would not require the elimination of the issue from the
Portfolio but the Manager will consider such an event in determining whether the
Portfolio should continue to hold the security.
The Portfolio's short-term municipal obligations will be limited to high
grade obligations (obligations that are secured by U.S. Government Securities or
are rated MIG 1 or MIG 2, VMIG 1 or VMIG 2 or Prime-1 or Aa or better by Moody's
or SP-1+, SP-1, SP-2, or A-1 or AA or better by S&P or have an equivalent rating
by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization or obligations
determined by the Manager to be equivalent). Among the types of short-term
instruments in which the Portfolio may invest are floating or variable rate
demand instruments, tax-exempt commercial paper (generally having a maturity of
less than nine months), and other types of notes generally having maturities of
less than three years, such as Tax Anticipation Notes, Revenue Anticipation
Notes, Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes and Bond Anticipation Notes. Demand
instruments usually have an indicated maturity of over one year, but contain a
demand feature that enables the holder to redeem the investment on no more than
30 days' notice; variable rate demand instruments provide for automatic
establishment of a new interest rate on set dates; floating rate demand
instruments provide for automatic adjustment of their interest rates whenever
some other specified interest rate changes (e.g., the prime rate). The Portfolio
may purchase participation interests in variable rate tax-exempt securities
(such as Industrial Development Bonds) owned by banks. Participations are
frequently backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or guarantee of a bank that
the Manager has determined meets the prescribed quality standards for the
Portfolio. Participation interests will be purchased only if management believes
interest income on such interests will be tax-exempt when distributed as
dividends to shareholders.
The Portfolio will not invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets
in illiquid securities, including those that are not readily marketable or for
which there is no established market.
12
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio may purchase new issues of municipal obligations on a
when-issued basis, i.e. delivery and payment normally take place 15 to 45 days
after the purchase date. The payment obligation and the interest rate to be
received are each fixed on the purchase date, although no interest accrues with
respect to a when-issued security prior to its stated delivery date. During the
period between purchase and settlement, assets consisting of cash or liquid high
grade debt securities, marked-to-market daily, of a dollar amount sufficient to
make payment at settlement will be segregated at the custodian bank. Interest
rates at settlement may be lower or higher than on the purchase date, which
would result in appreciation or depreciation, respectively. Although a Portfolio
will only purchase a municipal obligation on a when-issued basis with the
intention of actually acquiring the securities, the Portfolio may sell these
securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable.
Portfolio transactions will be undertaken primarily to accomplish the
Portfolio's objective in relation to anticipated movements in the general level
of interest rates, but the Portfolio may also engage in short-term trading
consistent with its objective.
The Portfolio may invest in zero coupon bonds. A zero coupon bond pays no
interest in cash to its holder during its life, although interest is accrued
during that period. Its value to an investor consists of the difference between
its face value at the time of maturity and the price for which it was acquired,
which is generally an amount significantly less than its face value (sometimes
referred to as a "deep discount" price). Because such securities usually trade
at a deep discount, they will be subject to greater fluctuations of market value
in response to changing interest rates than debt obligations of comparable
maturities which make periodic distributions of interest. On the other hand,
because there are no periodic interest payments to be reinvested prior to
maturity, zero coupon securities eliminate the reinvestment risk and lock in a
rate of return to maturity.
The Portfolio may invest in municipal bond index futures contracts
(currently traded on the Chicago Board of Trade) or in listed contracts based on
U.S. Government securities as a hedging policy in pursuit of its investment
objective; provided that immediately thereafter not more than 33 1/3% of its net
assets would be hedged or the amount of margin deposits on the Portfolio's
existing futures contracts would not exceed 5% of the value of its total assets.
Since any income would be taxable, it is anticipated that such investments will
be made only in those circumstances when the Manager anticipates the possibility
of an extreme change in interest rates or market conditions but does not wish to
liquidate the Portfolio's securities. A further discussion of futures contracts
and their associated risks is contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.
It is a fundamental policy that under normal market conditions, the
Portfolio will seek to invest 100% of its assets - and the Portfolio will invest
not less than 80% of its
13
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
assets - in municipal obligations the interest on which is exempt from Federal
income taxes (other than the alternative minimum tax). It is also a fundamental
policy that under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest at least
65% of its assets in municipal obligations the interest on which is also exempt
from the personal income taxes of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the
opinion of bond counsel to the issuers. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of
its assets in taxable fixed-income securities, but only in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States, and may invest
more than 20% of its assets in U.S. Government securities during periods when in
the Manager's opinion a temporary defensive posture is warranted, including any
period when the Portfolio's monies available for investment exceed the municipal
obligations available for purchase that meet the Portfolio's rating, maturity
and other investment criteria. To the extent the Portfolio is so invested, the
investment objective may not be achieved.
RISK AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Investors should realize that risk of loss is inherent in the ownership of
any securities and that the Portfolio's net asset value will fluctuate,
reflecting fluctuations in the market value of its portfolio positions. In
addition, the ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objective is
dependent on a number of factors, including the skills of the Manager in
purchasing municipal obligations whose issuers have the continuing ability to
meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The
ability to achieve a high level of income is dependent on the yields of the
securities in the portfolio. Yields on municipal obligations are the product of
a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the municipal bond
markets, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and
the rating of the issue. In general, the longer the maturity of a municipal
obligation, the higher the rate of interest it pays. However, a longer average
maturity is generally associated with a higher level of volatility in the market
value of a municipal obligation. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values of long-term, municipal obligations generally rise. Conversely, during
periods of rising interest rates, the values of such securities generally
decline. Changes in the value of portfolio securities will not affect interest
income derived from those securities but will affect the Portfolio's net asset
value. Since the Portfolio's objective is to provide high current income, it
will invest in municipal obligations with an emphasis on income rather than
stability of net asset value.
The Fund is registered as a "non-diversified" company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 ( the "1940 Act"), in order for the Portfolio to have the
ability to invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any issuer.
The Portfolio intends to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
(the "Code") that limits the aggregate value of all holdings (except U.S.
Government and cash items, as defined in the Code) that exceed 5% of the
Portfolio's total assets to an aggregate
14
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Objective and Management Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
amount of 50% of such assets. Also, holdings of a single issuer (with the same
exceptions) may not exceed 25% of the Portfolio's total assets. These limits are
measured at the end of each quarter. Under the Subchapter M limits,
"non-diversification" allows up to 50% of the Portfolio's total assets to be
invested in as few as two single issuers. In the event of decline of
creditworthiness or default upon the obligations of one or more such issuers
exceeding 5%, an investment in the Portfolio will entail greater risk than in a
portfolio having a policy of "diversification" because a high percentage of the
Portfolio's assets may be invested in municipal obligations of one or two
issuers. Furthermore, a high percentage of investments among few issuers may
result in a greater degree of fluctuation in the market value of the assets of
the Portfolio, and consequently a greater degree of fluctuation of the
Portfolio's net asset value, because the Portfolio will be more susceptible to
economic, political, or regulatory developments affecting these securities than
would be the case with a portfolio composed of varied obligations of more
issuers.
RISK FACTORS AFFECTING PENNSYLVANIA
Potential purchasers of shares of the Portfolio should consider the fact
that the Portfolio consists primarily of securities issued by the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania (the "Commonwealth"), its municipalities and authorities and
should realize the substantial risks associated with an investment in such
securities. Although the General Fund of the Commonwealth (the principal
operating fund of the Commonwealth) experienced deficits in fiscal 1990 and
1991, tax increases and spending decreases helped return the General Fund
balance to a surplus in 1992 and 1993. Financial performance continued to
improve during the 1993 and 1994 fiscal years. An unreserved-undesignated fund
balance of $334.7 million was recorded for fiscal 1994 year end. Fiscal 1995 was
the fourth consecutive fiscal year the Commonwealth reported an increase in the
fiscal year-end unappropriated balance. The fiscal 1995 closing unappropriated
surplus was $540 million, an increase of $204.2 million over the fiscal 1994
closing unappropriated surplus prior to transfers.
Pennsylvania's economy historically has been dependent upon heavy industry,
but has diversified recently into various services, particularly into medical
and health services, education and financial services. Agricultural industries
continue to be an important part of the economy, including not only the
production of diversified food and livestock products, but substantial economic
activity in agribusiness and food-related industries. Service industries
currently employ the greatest share of non-agricultural workers, followed by the
categories of trade and manufacturing. Future economic difficulties in any of
these industries could have an adverse impact on the finances of the
Commonwealth or its municipalities, and could adversely affect the market value
of the municipal obligations in the Portfolio or the ability of the respective
obligors to make payments of interest and principal due on such municipal
obligations.

Statement of Additional Information.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
The Portfolio securities ordinarily are purchased from and sold to parties
acting as either principal or agent. Newly issued securities ordinarily are
purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter; other purchases and
sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it appears that the best
price or execution will be obtained. Usually no brokerage commissions, as such,
are paid by the Portfolio for purchases and sales undertaken through principal
transactions, although the price paid usually includes an undisclosed
compensation to the dealer as agent.
The Portfolio cannot accurately predict its portfolio turnover rate, but
anticipates that the annual turnover will not exceed 100%. An annual turnover
rate of 100% would occur when all of the securities held by the Portfolio are
replaced one time during a period of one year. The Manager will not consider
turnover rate a limiting factor in making investment decisions consistent with
the investment objective and policies of the Portfolio. See "Financial
Highlights" for the Portfolio's annual turnover rate during each year since
inception.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valuation of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, which is currently 4:00 P.M. New York City time on
each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the Portfolio's net assets
attributable to each Class by the total number of shares of the Class
outstanding.
When, in the judgment of the pricing service, quoted bid prices for
investments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the
market, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and
asked prices. Investments for which, in the judgment of the pricing service,
there is no readily obtainable market quotation (which may constitute a majority
of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value of securities of similar
type, yield and maturity. Pricing services generally determine value by
reference to transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal
bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various
relationships between securities. Short-term instruments maturing within 60 days
will be valued at cost plus (minus) amortized discount (premium), if any, when
the Trustees have determined that amortized cost equals fair value. Securities
and other assets that are not priced by a pricing service and for which market
quotations are not available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or
under the direction of the Trustees.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions And Taxes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from the Portfolio's net investment income are
declared and paid monthly and any realized capital gain are declared and
distributed annually.
If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gain
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the same
Class at net asset value, subject to no sales charge or CDSC.
Income dividends and capital gains distributions that are invested are
credited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value
as of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the
option at any time by notifying his or her Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Accounts held directly by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor
Services Group, Inc. ("First Data") should notify First Data in writing at least
five business days prior to the payment date to permit the change to be entered
in the shareholder's account.
The per share dividends on Class B and Class C shares of the Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class A and Class Y shares principally
as a result of the distribution fee applicable with respect to Class B and Class
C shares. The per share dividends on Class A shares of the Portfolio may be
lower than the per share dividends on Class Y shares principally as a result of
the service fee applicable to Class A shares. Distributions of capital gains, if
any, will be in the same amount for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y
shares.
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" and to
meet the requirements for distributing "exempt-interest dividends" under the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") so that no Federal income taxes will be
payable by the Portfolio and dividends representing net interest received on
municipal obligations will not be includable by shareholders in their gross
income for Federal income tax purposes. To the extent dividends are derived from
taxable income from temporary investments, market discounts or from the excess
of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss, they are treated
as ordinary income whether the shareholder has elected to receive them in cash
or in additional shares. Capital gains distributions, if any, whether paid in
cash or invested in shares of the Portfolio, will be taxable to shareholders.
Exempt-interest dividends allocable to interest received by the Portfolio
from the AMT-Subject Bonds in which the Portfolio may invest will be treated as
interest paid directly on such obligations and will give rise to an "item of tax
preference" that will increase a shareholder's alternative minimum taxable
income. In addition, for corporations, alternative minimum taxable income will
be increased by a percentage of the amount by which a special measure of income
(including exempt-interest dividends) exceeds the amount otherwise determined to
be alternative minimum taxable income. Accordingly, investment in the Portfolio
may cause
17
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shareholders to be subject to (or result in an increased liability under) the
AMT. The Fund will annually furnish to its shareholders a report indicating the
ratable portion of exempt-interest dividends attributable to AMT-Subject Bonds.
The Portfolio will be treated as a separate regulated investment company
for Federal tax purposes. Accordingly, the Portfolio's net investment income is
determined separately based on the income earned on its securities less its
costs of operations. The Portfolio's net long-term and short-term gain (loss)
realized on investments is determined after offsetting any capital loss
carryover of the Portfolio from prior periods.
Under the Code, interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase
or carry shares of the Portfolio will not be deductible to the extent that the
Portfolio's distributions are exempt from Federal income tax. In addition, any
loss realized upon the redemption of shares held less than 6 months will be
disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends received by the
shareholder during such period. Further, persons who may be "substantial users"
(or "related persons" of substantial users) of facilities financed by industrial
development bonds should consult their tax advisors concerning an investment in
the Portfolio.
PENNSYLVANIA TAXES
Dividends distributed by the Pennsylvania Portfolio will not be subject to
the Pennsylvania personal income tax, the corporate net income tax or to the
Philadelphia school district investment income tax to the extent that the
dividends are attributable to interest received by the Portfolio from its
investments in Pennsylvania municipal obligations and U.S. Government
obligations, including obligations issued by U.S. possessions. Dividends or
distributions by the Portfolio to a Pennsylvania resident that are attributable
to most other sources may be subject to the Pennsylvania personal income tax,
the corporate net income tax and (for residents of Philadelphia) to the
Philadelphia school district investment income tax. Shares of the Portfolio will
be exempt from Pennsylvania county personal property taxes and (as to residents
of Pittsburgh) from personal property taxes imposed by the City of Pittsburgh
and the School District of Pittsburgh to the extent that the Portfolio consists
of Pennsylvania municipal obligations and U.S. Government obligations, including
obligations issued by U.S. possessions.
Investors purchasing municipal obligations of their state of residence, or
a fund comprised of such obligations, should recognize that the benefits of the
exemption from local taxes, in addition to the exemption from Federal taxes,
necessarily limits the fund's ability to diversify geographically. Each
Portfolio will make available annually to its shareholders information
concerning the tax status of its distributions, including the amount of its
dividends designated as exempt-interest dividends and as capital gain dividends.

Dividends, Distributions and Taxes (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important tax
considerations generally affecting each Portfolio and its shareholders.
Additional tax information of relevance to particular investors is contained in
the Statement of Additional Information. Investors are urged to consult their
tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Portfolio offers four Classes of shares. Class A shares are sold to
investors with an initial sales charge and Class B and Class C shares are sold
without an initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC payable upon certain
redemptions. Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales charge or CDSC and
are available only to investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000 (except for
purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc., for
which there is no minimum purchase amount). See "Prospectus Summary -
Alternative Purchase Arrangements" for a discussion of factors to consider in
selecting which Class of shares to purchase.
Purchases of Portfolio shares must be made through a brokerage account
maintained with Smith Barney, an Introducing Broker or an investment dealer in
the selling group. In addition, certain investors, including certain
institutional investors, may purchase shares directly from the Fund through
First Data. When purchasing shares of the Portfolio, investors must specify
whether the purchase is for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Y shares. Smith
Barney and other broker/dealers may charge their customers an annual account
maintenance fee in connection with a brokerage account through which an investor
purchases or holds shares. Accounts held directly at First Data are not subject
to a maintenance fee.
Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may open an account by
making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account. Investors in
Class Y shares may open an account by making an initial investment of
$5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made for all Classes.
For shareholders purchasing shares of the Portfolio through the Systematic
Investment Plan on a monthly basis, the minimum initial investment requirement
for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the subsequent investment
requirement for all Classes is $25. For shareholders purchasing shares of the
Portfolio through the Systematic Investment Plan on a quarterly basis, the
minimum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares
and the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes is $50. The minimum
initial investment requirement in the Portfolio for an account established under
the Uniform Gift to Minors Act is $250 and the subsequent investment requirement
is $50. There are no minimum
19
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
investment requirements in Class A shares for employees of Travelers and its
subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, Directors or Trustees of any of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds, and their spouses and children. The Fund reserves the right
to waive or change minimums, to decline any order to purchase its shares and to
suspend the offering of shares from time to time. Shares purchased will be held
in the shareholder's account by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data. Share
certificates are issued only upon a shareholder's written request to First Data.
It is not recommended that the Portfolio be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or
other qualified plans.
Purchase orders received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, on any day the Portfolio calculates its net asset
value, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day (the
"trade date"). Orders received by dealers or Introducing Brokers prior to the
close of regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net
asset value, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day,
provided the order is received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to Smith
Barney's close of business. For shares purchased through Smith Barney or
Introducing Brokers purchasing through Smith Barney, payment for Portfolio
shares is due on the third business day (the "settlement date") after the trade
date. In all other cases, payment must be made with the purchase order.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Shareholders may make additions to their accounts at any time by purchasing
shares through a service known as the Systematic Investment Plan. Under the
Systematic Investment Plan, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized through
preauthorized transfers of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least $50 on a
quarterly basis to charge the regular bank account or other financial
institution indicated by the shareholder to provide systematic additions to the
shareholder's Portfolio account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to
complete the transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or
First Data. The Systematic Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply
cash held in the shareholder's Smith Barney brokerage account or redeem the
shareholder's shares of a Smith Barney money market fund to make additions to
the account. Additional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE - CLASS A SHARES
The sales charges applicable to purchases of Class A shares of the
Portfolio are as follows:

500,000 and over * * *
================================================================================
* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net asset
value without any initial sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00%
on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC on Class A shares is
payable to Smith Barney, which compensates Smith Barney Financial Consultants
and other dealers whose clients make purchases of $500,000 or more. The CDSC is
waived in the same circumstances in which the CDSC applicable to Class B and
Class C shares is waived. See "Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives" and "Waivers
of CDSC."
Members of the selling group may receive up to 90% of the sales charge and
may be deemed to be underwriters of the Fund as defined in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
The reduced sales charges shown above apply to the aggregate of purchases
of Class A shares of the Portfolio made at one time by "any person," which
includes an individual and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or other
fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary account.
INITIAL SALES CHARGE WAIVERS
Purchases of Class A shares may be made at net asset value without a sales
charge in the following circumstances: (a) sales to (i) Board members and
employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries and any of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds (including retired Board Members and employees); the immediate families of
such persons (including the surviving spouse of a deceased Board Member or
employee); and to a pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for such
persons and (ii) employees of members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., provided such sales are made upon the assurance of the purchaser
that the purchase is made for investment purposes and that the securities will
not be resold except through redemption or repurchase; (b) offers of Class A
shares to any other investment company to effect the combination of such company
with the Portfolio by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise; (c) purchases
of Class A shares by any client of a newly employed Smith Barney Financial
Consultant (for a period up to 90 days from the commencement of the Financial
Consultant's employment with Smith Barney), on the condition the purchase of
Class A shares is made with the proceeds of the redemption of shares of a mutual
fund which (i) was sponsored by
21
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Financial Consultant's prior employer, (ii) was sold to the client by the
Financial Consultant and (iii) was subject to a sales charge; (d) purchases by
shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares in the Portfolio (or Class A
shares of another fund of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds that are sold with a
sales charge) and who wish to reinvest their redemption proceeds in the
Portfolio, provided the reinvestment is made within 60 calendar days of the
redemption; (e) purchases by accounts managed by registered investment advisory
subsidiaries of Travelers; (f) investments of distributions from a UIT
sponsored by Smith Barney and (g) purchases by investors participating in a
Smith Barney fee-based arrangement. In order to obtain such discounts, the
purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time of purchase to permit
verification that the purchase would qualify for the elimination of the sales
charge.
RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION
Class A shares of a Portfolio may be purchased by "any person" (as defined
above) at a reduced sales charge or at net asset value determined by aggregating
the dollar amount of the new purchase and the total net asset value of all Class
A shares of the Portfolio and of funds sponsored by Smith Barney which are
offered with a sales charge, listed under "Exchange Privilege" then held by such
person and applying the sales charge applicable to such aggregate. In order to
obtain such discount, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the
time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the
reduced sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to modification or
discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares purchased thereafter.
GROUP PURCHASES
Upon completion of certain automated systems, a reduced sales charge or
purchase at net asset value will also be available to employees (and partners)
of the same employer purchasing as a group, provided each participant makes the
minimum initial investment required. The sales charge applicable to purchases by
each member of such a group will be determined by the table set forth above
under "Initial Sales Charge Alternative -- Class A Shares," and will be based
upon the aggregate sales of Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered
with a sales charge to, and share holdings of, all members of the group. To be
eligible for such reduced sales charges or to purchase at net asset value, all
purchases must be pursuant to an employer- or partnership-sanctioned plan
meeting certain requirements. One such requirement is that the plan must be open
to specified partners or employees of the employer and its subsidiaries, if any.
Such plan may, but is not required to, provide for payroll deductions. Smith
Barney may also offer a reduced sales charge or net asset value purchase for
aggregating related fiduciary accounts under such conditions that Smith Barney
will realize economies of sales efforts and sales related expenses. An
individual who is a
22
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
member of a qualified group may also purchase Class A shares at the reduced
sales charge applicable to the group as a whole. The sales charge is based upon
the aggregate dollar value of Class A shares offered with a sales charge that
have been previously purchased and are still owned by the group, plus the amount
of the current purchase. A "qualified group" is one which (a) has been in
existence for more than six months, (b) has a purpose other than acquiring
Portfolio shares at a discount and (c) satisfies uniform criteria which enable
Smith Barney to realize economies of scale in its costs of distributing shares.
A qualified group must have more than 10 members, must be available to arrange
for group meetings between representatives of the Portfolio and the members, and
must agree to include sales and other materials related to the Portfolio in its
publications and mailings to members at no cost to Smith Barney. In order to
obtain such reduced sales charge or to purchase at net asset value, the
purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time of purchase to permit
verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced sales charge. Approval
of group purchase reduced sales charge plans is subject to the discretion of
Smith Barney.
LETTER OF INTENT
Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for amounts of $50,000 or more provides
an opportunity for an investor to obtain a reduced sales charge by aggregating
investments over a 13 month period, provided that the investor refers to such
Letter when placing orders. For purposes of a Letter of Intent, the "Amount of
Investment" as referred to in the preceding sales charge table includes
purchases of all Class A shares of the Portfolio and other funds of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds offered with a sales charge over the 13 month period based
on the total amount of intended purchases plus the value of all Class A shares
previously purchased and still owned. An alternative is to compute the 13 month
period starting up to 90 days before the date of execution of a Letter of
Intent. Each investment made during the period receives the reduced sales charge
applicable to the total amount of the investment goal. If the goal is not
achieved within the period, the investor must pay the difference between the
sales charges applicable to the purchases made and the charges previously paid,
or an appropriate number of escrowed shares will be redeemed. Please contact a
Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data to obtain a Letter of Intent
application.
Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may also be used as a way for investors
to meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares. Such investors
must make an initial minimum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the
Portfolio and agree to purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the
same Portfolio within six months from the date of the Letter. If a total
investment of $5,000,000 is not made within the six-month period, all Class Y
shares purchased to date will be transferred to Class A shares, where they will
be subject to all fees (including a
23

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
service fee of 0.15%) and expenses applicable to the Portfolio's Class A shares,
which may include a CDSC of 1.00%. Please contact a Smith Barney Financial
Consultant or First Data for further information.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVES
"CDSC Shares" are sold at net asset value next determined without an
initial sales charge so that the full amount of an investor's purchase payment
may be immediately invested in the Portfolio. A CDSC, however, may be imposed on
certain redemptions of these shares. "CDSC Shares" are: (a) Class B shares; (b)
Class C shares; and (c) Class A shares that were purchased without an initial
sales charge but subject to a CDSC.
Any applicable CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of
the original cost of the shares being redeemed or their net asset value at the
time of redemption. CDSC Shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a CDSC
to the extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital appreciation
of Portfolio assets; (b) reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions; (c) with respect to Class B shares, shares redeemed more than
five years after their purchase; or (d) with respect to Class C shares and Class
A shares that are CDSC Shares, shares redeemed more than 12 months after their
purchase.
Class C shares and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares are subject to a
1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. In circumstances in which
the CDSC is imposed on Class B shares, the amount of the charge will depend on
the number of years since the shareholder made the purchase payment from which
the amount is being redeemed. Solely for purposes of determining the number of
years since a purchase payment, all purchase payments made during a month will
be aggregated and deemed to have been made on the last day of the preceding
Smith Barney statement month. The following table sets forth the rates of the
charge for redemptions of Class B shares by shareholders:
Year Since Purchase
Payment Was Made CDSC
-------------------------------------------------
First 4.50%
Second 4.00
Third 3.00
Fourth 2.00
Fifth 1.00
Sixth and thereafter 0.00
-------------------------------------------------
Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares eight years
after the date on which they were purchased and thereafter will no longer be
subject to any distribution fees. There will be converted at that time such
proportion of his or her Class B Dividend Shares owned by the shareholder as the
total number of his
24
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or her Class B shares converting at the time bears to the total number of
outstanding Class B shares (other than Class B Dividend Shares) owned by the
shareholder. See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements --
Class B Shares Conversion Feature."
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions
and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest period of
time. The length of time that CDSC Shares acquired through an exchange have been
held will be calculated from the date that the shares exchanged were initially
acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and Portfolio shares
being redeemed will be considered to represent, as applicable, capital
appreciation or dividend and capital gain distribution reinvestments in such
other funds. For Federal income tax purposes, the amount of the CDSC will reduce
the gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on the amount realized on
redemption. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to Smith Barney.
To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B shares at
$10 per share for a cost of $1,000. Subsequently, the investor acquired 5
additional shares through dividend reinvestment. During the fifteenth month
after the purchase, the investor decided to redeem $500 of his or her
investment. Assuming at the time of the redemption the net asset value had
appreciated to $12 per share, the value of the investor's shares would be $1,260
(105 shares at $12 per share). The CDSC would not be applied to the amount which
represents appreciation ($200) and the value of the reinvested dividend shares
($60). Therefore, $240 of the $500 redemption proceeds ($500 minus $260) would
be charged at a rate of 4.00% (the applicable rate for Class B shares) for a
total deferred sales charge of $9.60.
WAIVERS OF CDSC
The CDSC will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see "Exchange Privilege"); (b)
automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 1.00% per month of
the value of the shareholder's shares at the time the withdrawal plan commences
(see "Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan") (provided, however, that automatic cash
withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares will be permitted for withdrawal plans that were
established prior to November 7, 1994); (c) redemptions of shares within twelve
months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (d) involuntary
redemptions; and (e) redemptions of shares to effect a combination of the
Portfolio with any investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or
otherwise. In addition, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other funds
of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all
or part of the redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit
for any CDSC
25

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchase of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
imposed on the prior redemption.
CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in
the case of shareholders who are also Smith Barney clients or by First Data in
the case of all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status or holdings, as
the case may be.

Exchange Privilege (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B Exchanges. In the event a Class B shareholder wishes to exchange
all or a portion of his or her shares in any of the funds imposing a higher CDSC
than that imposed by the Portfolio, the exchanged Class B shares will be subject
to the higher applicable CDSC. Upon an exchange, the new Class B shares will be
deemed to have been purchased on the same date as the Class B shares of the
Portfolio that have been exchanged.
Class C Exchanges. Upon an exchange, the new Class C shares will be deemed
to have been purchased on the same date as the Class C shares of the Portfolio
that have been exchanged.
Class A and Class Y Exchanges. Class A and Class Y shareholders of the
Portfolio who wish to exchange all or a portion of their shares for shares of
the respective Class in any of the funds identified above may do so without
imposition of any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can
be detrimental to the Portfolio's performance and its shareholders. The
investment manager may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is
excessive and contrary to the best interests of the Portfolio's other
shareholders. In this event, the Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit
additional purchases and/or exchanges by the shareholder. Upon such a
determination, the Fund will provide notice in writing or by telephone to the
shareholder at least 15 days prior to suspending the exchange privilege and
during the 15 day period the shareholder will be required to (a) redeem his or
her shares in the Portfolio or (b) remain invested in the Portfolio or exchange
into any of the funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds ordinarily available,
which position the shareholder would be expected to maintain for a significant
period of time. All relevant factors will be considered in determining what
constitutes an abusive pattern of exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See
"Redemption of Shares -- Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges
will be processed at the net asset value next determined. Redemption procedures
discussed below are also applicable for exchanging shares, and exchanges will be
made upon receipt of all supporting documents in proper form. If the account
registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to the
registration of the shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee is
required. A capital gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized upon the
exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed. Before
exchanging shares, investors should read the current prospectus describing the
shares to be acquired. The Portfolio reserves the right to modify or discontinue
exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.
28
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Portfolio tendered to it,
as described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per
share next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no
charge other than any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the
close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next
determined. If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request
for redemption must specify the Class being redeemed. In the event of a failure
to specify which Class, or if the investor owns fewer shares of the Class than
specified, the redemption request will be delayed until the Fund's transfer
agent receives further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's
account is not with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption
proceeds will be remitted on or before the third business day following receipt
of proper tender, except on any days on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted
under the 1940 Act in extraordinary circumstances. Generally, if the redemption
proceeds are remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds will not
be invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific instruction and Smith
Barney will benefit from the use of temporarily uninvested funds. Redemption
proceeds for shares purchased by check, other than a certified or official bank
check, will be remitted upon clearance of the check, which may take up to ten
days or more.
Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than those
held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group or by
submitting a written request for redemption to:
Smith Barney Muni Funds/Pennsylvania Portfolio
Class A, B, C or Y (please specify)
c/o First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
P.O. Box 5128
Boston, Massachusetts 01581-5128
A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are registered.
If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the certificates
must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed stock power) and
must be submitted to First Data together with the redemption request. Any
signature appearing on a share certificate, stock power or written redemption
request in excess of $2,000 must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor
institution such as a domestic bank, savings and loan institution, domestic
credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or member firm of a
national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of $2,000 or less do
not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request
is made in any 10-day period.
29
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption of Shares (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an investor's address of record. First
Data may require additional supporting documents for redemptions made by
corporations, executors, administrators, trustees or guardians. A redemption
request will not be deemed properly received until First Data receives all
required documents in proper form.
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be
eligible to redeem and exchange portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a
shareholder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, including a
signature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon request.
(Alternatively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new
account application with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his/her
initial investment in the Portfolio.
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes
of the Portfolio's shares, may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First
Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net
asset value next determined. Redemptions of shares (i) by retirement plans or
(ii) for which certificates have been issued are not permitted under this
program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds mailed
to his/her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by the
shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the case
may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In order to
use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a member of the
Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with a member bank.
The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee for each wire
redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the shareholder's
account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the bank account
designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must complete a new
Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the shareholder's
assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and certain other
documentation.
Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests may
be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open.

Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program.
Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following instructions
communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be genuine. The Fund
and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the identity of the
caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a shareholder's name and
account number will be required and phone calls may be recorded). The Fund
reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the telephone redemption
and exchange program or to impose a charge for this service at any time
following at least seven (7) days' prior notice to shareholders.
AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
The Portfolio offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under
which shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to
receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. The withdrawal plan
will be carried over on exchanges between funds or Classes of the Portfolio. Any
applicable CDSC will not be waived on amounts withdrawn by a shareholder that
exceed 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject to the
CDSC at the time the withdrawal plan commences. (With respect to withdrawal
plans in effect prior to November 7, 1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on
amounts withdrawn that do not exceed 2.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares subject to the CDSC). For further information regarding the
automatic cash withdrawal plan, shareholders should contact a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum Account Size
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's
account if the aggregate value of the shares held in a Portfolio account is less
than $500. (If a shareholder has more than one account in this Portfolio, each
account must satisfy the minimum account size.) The Fund, however, will not
redeem shares based solely on market reductions in net asset value. Before the
Fund exercises such right, shareholders will receive written notice and will be
permitted 60 days to bring the account up to the minimum to avoid involuntary
liquidation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time the Portfolio may advertise its yield, tax equivalent
yield, total return and average annual total return in advertisements. In
addition, in other types of sales literature the Portfolio may also include its
distribution rate. These figures are computed separately for Class A, Class B,
Class C and Class Y shares of
31
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Portfolio. These figures are based on historical earnings and are not
intended to indicate future performance. The yield of a Portfolio Class refers
to the net income earned by investments in the Class over a thirty-day period
ending at month end. This net income is then annualized, i.e., the amount of
income earned by the investments during that 30-day period is assumed to be
earned each 30-day period for twelve periods and is expressed as a percentage of
the investments. The tax equivalent yield is calculated similarly to the yield,
except that a stated income tax rate is used to demonstrate the taxable yield
necessary to produce an after-tax yield equivalent to the tax-exempt yield of
the Class. The yield and tax equivalent yield quotations are calculated
according to a formula prescribed by the SEC to facilitate comparison with
yields quoted by other investment companies. The distribution rate is calculated
by annualizing the latest monthly distribution and dividing the result by the
maximum offering price per share as of the end of the period to which the
distribution relates. The distribution rate is not computed in the same manner
as, and therefore can be significantly different from, the above described
yield. Total return is computed for a specified period of time assuming
deduction of the maximum sales charge, if any, from the initial amount invested
and reinvestment of all income dividends and capital gain distributions on the
reinvestment dates at prices calculated as stated in this Prospectus, then
dividing the value of the investment at the end of the period so calculated by
the initial amount invested and subtracting 100%. The standard average annual
total return, as prescribed by the SEC is derived from this total return, which
provides the ending redeemable value. Such standard total return information may
also be accompanied with nonstandard total return information for differing
periods computed in the same manner but without analyzing the total return or
taking sales charges into account. The Portfolio may also include comparative
performance information in advertising or marketing its shares. Such performance
information may include data from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and other
financial publications.

Management of the Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES
Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund rests
with the Fund's Trustees. The Trustees approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and the
Portfolio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manager,
custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Portfolio are
delegated to the Portfolio's investment manager. The Statement of Additional
Information contains background information regarding each Trustee and executive
officer of the Fund.
MANAGER
Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM" or the "Manager"),
manages the day-to-day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to a management
agreement entered into by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio.
SBMFM was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of Delaware. SBMFM, Holdings
and Smith Barney are each located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York
10013. As of June 30, 1997, SBMFM had aggregate assets under management in
excess of $89 billion.
SBMFM provides the Fund with investment management services and executive
and other personnel, pays the remuneration of Fund officers, provides the Fund
with office space and equipment, furnishes the Fund with bookkeeping,
accounting, administrative services and services relating to research,
statistical work and supervision of the Portfolio. For the services provided,
the management agreement provides that the Fund will pay SBMFM an annual fee
calculated at the rate of 0.45% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets,
paid monthly. SBMFM waived its management fee for the Portfolio for the fiscal
year March 31, 1997. For the past fiscal year, total operating expenses were
0.37% of the average daily assets for Class A shares; 0.88% of the average daily
net assets for Class B shares; and 0.94% of the average daily net assets for
Class C shares. For the current fiscal year, total operating expenses are
anticipated to be 0.75% of the average daily net assets for Class A shares;
1.26% of the average daily net assets for Class B shares; and 1.32% of the
average daily net assets for Class C shares. The anticipated expenses for the
current fiscal year reflect the current management fee waiver in effect.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Peter M. Coffey, a Managing Director of Smith Barney, has served as Vice
President of the Fund and portfolio manager of the Portfolio since it commenced
operation (April 4, 1994) and manages the day-to-day operations of the Portfolio
including making all investment decisions. Mr. Coffey also serves as the
portfolio manager for many of the Fund's other non-money market Portfolios.
Management's discussion and analysis, and additional performance
information regarding the Portfolio during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997
is included

Management of the Fund (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in the Annual Report dated March 31, 1997. A copy of the Annual Report may be
obtained upon request and without charge from a Smith Barney Financial
Consultant or by writing or calling the Fund at the address or phone number
listed on page one of this Prospectus.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter
and as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts"
arrangement requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as
may be sold to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the
Portfolio under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid
a service fee with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the
Portfolio at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets
attributable to these Classes. Smith Barney is also paid a distribution fee with
respect to Class B and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55%,
respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to these Classes.
Class B shares that automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after
the date of original purchase, will no longer be subject to a distribution fee.
The fees are used by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing
shareholder accounts and, in the case of Class B and Class C shares, to cover
expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of those shares. These
expenses include: advertising expenses; the cost of printing and mailing
prospectuses to potential investors; payments to and expenses of Smith Barney
Financial Consultants and other persons who provide support services in
connection with the distribution of shares; interest and/or carrying charges;
and indirect and overhead costs of Smith Barney associated with the sale of
Portfolio shares, including lease, utility, communications and sales promotion
expenses.
The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares of a
Class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the
time of sale and, with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, a
continuing fee for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder
remains a holder of that Class. Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive
different levels of compensation for selling the different Classes of Shares.
Payments under the Plan with respect to Class B and Class C shares are not
tied exclusively to the distribution and shareholder services expenses actually
incurred by Smith Barney and the payments may exceed distribution expenses
actually incurred. The Fund's Trustees will evaluate the appropriateness of the
Plan and its payment terms on a continuing basis and in so doing will consider
all relevant factors, including expenses borne by Smith Barney, amounts received
under the Plan and proceeds of the CDSC.

Additional Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund, an open-end, non-diversified management investment company, is
organized as a "Massachusetts business trust" pursuant to a Declaration of Trust
dated August 14, 1985. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have
authorized the issuance of twenty series of shares, each representing shares in
one of twenty separate Portfolios. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated
and separately managed. Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of each
Portfolio represent interests in the assets of that Portfolio and have identical
voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights on the same terms and conditions,
except that expenses related to the shareholder service and distribution of
Class A, Class B and Class C shares are borne solely by the respective Class and
each such Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to provisions
of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertains to that Class. It is
the intention of the Fund not to hold annual meetings of shareholders. The
Trustees may call meetings of shareholders for action by shareholder vote as may
be required by the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust, and shareholders are
entitled to call a meeting of shareholders upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's
outstanding shares for purposes of voting on removal of a Trustee or Trustees.
Shareholders will receive assistance in communicating with other shareholders in
connection with the removal of Trustees as required by Section 16(c) of the 1940
Act. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights and have
only such conversion or exchange rights as the Trustees may grant in their
discretion. When issued for payment as described in this Prospectus, the Fund's
shares will be fully paid and transferrable (subject to the Portfolio's minimum
account size). Shares are redeemable as set forth under "Redemption of Shares"
and are subject to involuntary redemption as set forth under "Minimum Account
Size."
PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets,
Philadelphia, PA 19103 serves as custodian of the Portfolio's investments.
First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves
as the Fund's transfer agent.
The Fund sends its shareholders a semi-annual report and an audited annual
report, which include listings of the investment securities held by the
Portfolio at the end of the period covered. In an effort to reduce the Fund's
printing and mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of its

PROSPECTUS JULY 29, 1997
Smith Barney Muni Funds
California Money Market Portfolio
388 Greenwich Street New York, New York 10013 (800) 451-2010
The California Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is one of nine
investment portfolios that currently comprise Smith Barney Muni Funds (the
"Fund"). The Portfolio seeks to provide its shareholders with income exempt
from both Federal income taxes (other than the alternative minimum tax) and
California personal income taxes from a portfolio of high quality short-term
California municipal obligations selected for liquidity and stability of prin-
cipal.
THE PORTFOLIO MAY INVEST A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF ITS ASSETS IN A SINGLE
ISSUER AND THEREFORE INVESTMENT IN THE PORTFOLIO MAY BE RISKIER THAN AN INVEST-
MENT IN OTHER TYPES OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS.
SHARES OF THE PORTFOLIO ARE NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PORTFOLIO WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET
ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.
This Prospectus sets forth concisely certain information about the Fund and
the Portfolio, including service fees and expenses, that prospective investors
will find helpful in making an investment decision. Investors are encouraged to
read this Prospectus carefully and retain it for future reference.
Additional information about the Portfolio is contained in a Statement of
Additional Information dated July 29, 1997, as amended or supplemented from
time to time, that is available upon request and without charge by calling or
writing the Fund at the telephone number or address set forth above or by con-
tacting a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. The Statement of Additional Infor-

** "Other expenses" in the above table include fees for shareholder services,
custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs and registration
fees.
Class A shares of the Portfolio purchased through the Smith Barney AssetOne
Program will be subject to an annual asset-based fee, payable quarterly, in
lieu of the initial sales charge. The fee will vary to a maximum of 1.50%,

EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding the
various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or indi-
rectly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses at
the levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares," "Redemption
of Shares," "Management of the Fund," and "Distributor."

An investor would pay the following expenses
on a $1,000 investment, assuming (1) 5.00%
annual return and (2) redemption at the end
of each time period:

The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense levels
of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods. To
facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, the Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. THIS EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A
REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The Portfolio seeks to provide income exempt from both Federal income taxes
and California personal income taxes from a portfolio of high quality short-
term municipal obligations selected for liquidity and stability of principal.
The Portfolio seeks to be fully invested in obligations that are issued by the
State of California and its political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentali-
ties, the interest from which in the opinion of counsel for the various
issuers, is exempt from California as well as Federal income taxes. (For cer-
tain shareholders, a portion of the Portfolio's income may be subject to the
alternative minimum tax.)
Opinions relating to the validity of municipal obligations and to the exemp-
tion of interest thereon from Federal income taxes and from California personal
income taxes are rendered by bond counsel to the respective issuers at the time
of issuance. Neither the Portfolio nor its investment adviser will review the
proceedings relating to the issuance of municipal obligations or the basis for
such opinions.
The two principal classifications of municipal obligations are "general obli-
gation" and "revenue." General obligations are secured by a municipal issuer's
pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of principal
and interest. Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues derived
from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases from the
proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source. Please see
the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion about
the different types of municipal obligations.
All of the Portfolio's investments will be in securities that at the time of
investment have or are deemed by Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc.
("SBMFM" or the "Manager") to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less
and the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Portfolio will be 90 days or
less. The Portfolio will seek to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00
per share, although no assurance can be given that this goal will be achieved.
Except for temporary defensive purposes, it is a fundamental policy that at
least 80% of the Portfolio's assets will be invested in securities that produce
income that is exempt from Federal income taxes (other than the alternative
minimum tax) and from California personal income taxes in the opinion of bond
counsel for the various issuers.
The Portfolio's investments will be limited to obligations that the Fund's
Trustees' delegates determine present minimal credit risks and that (i) are
secured by the full faith and credit of the United States or (ii) are "Eligible
Securities," as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"),
at the time of acquisition by the Portfolio. The term "Eligible Securities"
includes securities rated by the "Requisite NRSROs" in one of the two highest
short-term rating categories, securities of issuers that have received such
ratings with respect to other short-term debt securities and comparable unrated
securities. "Requisite NRSROs" means any nationally recognized statistical rat-
ing organizations ("NRSROs") that have issued
5
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ratings with respect to a security or class of debt obligations of an issuer.
Currently, there are six NRSROs: Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Investors Services, Inc., Duff and Phelps Inc.,
IBCA Limited and its affiliate, IBCA, Inc. and Thomson BankWatch. The Portfolio
may also invest in unrated securities if they are of comparable quality as
determined by the Manager in accordance with criteria established by the Fund's
Trustees.
Municipal obligations, which are issued by states, municipalities and their
agencies, fall into two major categories--bonds and notes. Among the types of
obligations in which the Portfolio invests are "puts," such as floating or
variable rate instruments subject to demand features ("demand instruments");
tax-exempt commercial paper; and notes such as Tax Anticipation Notes, Revenue
Anticipation Notes, Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes and Bond Anticipation
Notes. Demand instruments usually have an indicated maturity of more than 13
months but contain a demand feature (a "put") that entitles the holder to
receive the principal amount of the underlying security and may be exercised
either (a) at any time on no more than 30 days' notice; or (b) at specified
intervals not exceeding one year and upon no more than 30 days' notice. Demand
instruments are generally supported by letters of credit which are issued by
both domestic and foreign banks. A variable rate instrument provides for
adjustment of its interest rate on set dates and upon such adjustment can rea-
sonably be expected to have a market value that approximates its par value; a
floating rate instrument provides for adjustment of its interest rate whenever
a specific interest rate (e.g., the prime rate) changes and at any time can
reasonably be expected to have a market value that approximates its par value.
The Portfolio may invest without limit in private activity bonds. Interest
income on certain types of private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986
to finance non-governmental activities is a specific tax preference item for
purposes of the Federal individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes.
Individual and corporate shareholders may be subject to a Federal alternative
minimum tax to the extent the Portfolio's dividends are derived from interest
on these bonds. These private activity bonds are included in the term "munici-
pal obligations" for purposes of determining compliance with the 80% test
described above. Dividends derived from interest income on all municipal obli-
gations are a component of the "current earnings" adjustment item for purposes
of the Federal corporate alternative minimum tax.
The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of the value of its assets in one or more
of the three principal types of derivative product structures described below.
Derivative products are typically structured by a bank, broker-dealer or other
financial institution. A derivative product generally consists of a trust or
partnership through which the Portfolio holds an interest in one or more under-
lying bonds coupled with a conditional right to sell ("put") the Portfolio's
interest in the underlying bonds at par plus accrued interest to a financial
institution (a "Liquidity Provider"). Typically, a derivative product is struc-
tured as a trust or partnership which provides for
6
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
pass-through tax-exempt income. There are currently three principal types of
derivative structures: (1) "Tender Option Bonds," which are instruments which
grant the holder thereof the right to put an underlying bond at par plus
accrued interest at specified intervals to a Liquidity Provider; (2) "Swap
Products," in which the trust or partnership swaps the payments due on an
underlying bond with a swap counterparty who agrees to pay a floating munici-
pal money market interest rate; and (3) "Partnerships," which allocate to the
partners income, expenses, capital gains and losses in accordance with a gov-
erning partnership agreement.
Investments in derivative products raise certain tax, legal, regulatory and
accounting issues which may not be presented by investments in other municipal
bonds. There is some risk that certain issues could be resolved in a manner
which could adversely impact the performance of the Portfolio. For example,
the tax-exempt treatment of the interest paid to holders of derivative prod-
ucts is premised on the legal conclusion that the holders of such derivative
products have an ownership interest in the underlying bonds. While the Portfo-
lio receives an opinion of legal counsel to the effect that the income from
each derivative product is tax-exempt to the same extent as the underlying
bond, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has not issued a ruling on this
subject. Were the IRS to issue an adverse ruling, there is a risk that the
interest paid on such derivative products would be deemed taxable.
The Portfolio intends to limit the risk of derivative products by purchasing
only those derivative products that are consistent with the Portfolio's
investment objective and policies. The Portfolio will not use such instruments
to leverage securities. Hence, derivative products' contributions to the over-
all market risk characteristics of a Portfolio will not materially alter its
risk profile and will be fully representative of the Portfolio's maturity
guidelines.
The Portfolio will not invest more than 10% of the value of its total assets
in illiquid securities, which will include: (i) under certain circumstances,
derivative products; (ii) floating- or variable-rate demand instruments as to
which the Portfolio cannot exercise the demand feature on not more than seven
days' notice if there is no secondary market available for these instruments;
(iii) other securities that are not readily marketable; and (iv) any repur-
chase transactions that do not mature within seven days.
RISK AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its investment
objective. The ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objective is
dependent on a number of factors, including the skills of the Manager in pur-
chasing municipal obligations whose issuers have the continuing ability to
meet their obligations for
7
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
the payment of interest and principal when due. The ability to achieve a high
level of income is dependent on the yields of the securities in the portfolio.
Yields on municipal obligations are the product of a variety of factors,
including the general conditions of the money market, of the municipal bond and
municipal note markets, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the
obligation and the rating of the issue. Municipal obligations with longer matu-
rities tend to produce higher yields and are generally subject to potentially
greater price fluctuations than obligations with shorter maturities.
The Portfolio's concentration in California obligations involves certain
additional risks that should be considered carefully by investors. Certain Cal-
ifornia constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive orders,
administrative regulations, court decisions and voter initiatives could result
in certain adverse consequences affecting California obligations. In particu-
lar, there are risks resulting from certain recent amendments to the California
Constitution and other statutes that limit the taxing and spending authority of
California governmental entities, and these may have the effect of impairing
the ability of certain issuers of California obligations to pay principal and
interest on their obligations. See the Statement of Additional Information for
a more detailed description of these and other risks relating to the Portfo-
lio's investments in California obligations.
When-Issued Purchase Commitments. New issues of municipal obligations are
often offered on a "when-issued" basis, i.e., delivery and payment normally
take place 15 to 45 days after the purchase date. The payment obligation and
the interest rate to be received on the securities are fixed at the time the
buyer enters into the commitment, although no interest accrues with respect to
a when-issued security prior to its stated delivery date. The Portfolio will
only make commitments to purchase such securities with the intention of actu-
ally acquiring the securities, but the Portfolio may sell these securities
before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable as a matter of investment
strategy. A segregated account of the Portfolio consisting of cash or debt
securities of any grade having a value equal to or greater than the Portfolio's
purchase commitments, provided such securities have been determined by the Man-
ager to be liquid and unencumbered and are marked to market daily pursuant to
guidelines established by the Trustees, will be maintained with PNC Bank,
National Association (the "Custodian") and monitored on a daily basis so that
the market value of the account will equal or exceed the amount of such commit-
ments by the Portfolio.
Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are subject to changes in market
value prior to delivery based not only upon the public's perception of the
creditworthiness of the issuer but also changes in the level of interest rates,
i.e., appreciating when interest rates decline and depreciating when interest
rates rise. Therefore, if in order to achieve higher interest income the Port-
folio remains substantially fully invested at the same time that it has pur-
chased securities on a when-issued basis,
8
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
there will be a greater possibility that the market value of the Portfolio's
assets will vary from $1.00 per share. See "Determination of Net Asset Value."
There will also be a greater potential for the realization of capital gains,
which are not exempt from Federal or state income taxes.
Stand-By Commitments. The Portfolio may acquire "stand-by commitments" with
respect to municipal obligations held in its portfolio. Under a stand-by com-
mitment a dealer agrees to purchase, at the Portfolio's option, specified
municipal obligations at a specified price. The Portfolio intends to enter into
stand-by commitments only with dealers, banks and broker-dealers which, in the
opinion of the Manager, present minimal credit risks. In evaluating the credit-
worthiness of the issuer of a stand-by commitment, the Manager will review
periodically the issuer's assets, liabilities, contingent claims and other rel-
evant financial information. The Portfolio will acquire stand-by commitments
solely to facilitate portfolio liquidity and does not intend to exercise its
rights thereunder for trading purposes.
Other Factors to be Considered. Investors purchasing municipal obligations of
their state of residence, or a fund comprised of such obligations, should rec-
ognize that the benefits of the exemption from state and local taxes, in addi-
tion to the exemption from Federal taxes, necessarily limits the fund's ability
to diversify geographically.
The Portfolio anticipates being as fully invested as practicable in Califor-
nia municipal obligations and generally expects to invest the proceeds received
from the sale of shares in California municipal obligations as soon as reasona-
bly possible, which is generally within one day. At no time will more than 20%
of the Portfolio's net assets be invested in taxable investments except when
the Portfolio has adopted a temporary defensive investment policy.
The Portfolio may engage in short-term trading to attempt to take advantage
of short-term market variations or may dispose of a portfolio security prior to
its maturity if it believes such disposition advisable or it needs to generate
cash to satisfy redemptions. In such cases, the Portfolio may realize a gain or
loss.
The Fund is registered as a "non-diversified" company under the 1940 Act, in
order for the Portfolio to have the ability to invest more than 5% of its
assets in the securities of any issuer. The Portfolio intends to comply with
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")
which limits the aggregate value of all holdings (except U.S. government and
cash items, as defined in the Code) that exceed 5% of the Portfolio's total
assets to an aggregate amount of 50% of such assets. Also, holdings of a single
issuer (with the same exceptions) may not exceed 25% of the Portfolio's total
assets. These limits are measured at the end of each quarter. Under the
Subchapter M limits, non-diversification allows up to 50% of the Portfolio's
total assets to be invested in as few as two single issuers. In the event of
decline in creditworthiness of, or default upon, the obligations of one or
9
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
more such issuers exceeding 5%, an investment in the Portfolio will entail
greater risk than in a portfolio having a policy of diversification because a
high percentage of the Portfolio's assets may be invested in municipal obliga-
tions of one or two issuers. Furthermore, a high percentage of investments
among few issuers may result in a greater degree of fluctuation in the market
value of the assets of the Portfolio, and consequently a greater degree of
fluctuation of the Portfolio's net asset value, because the Portfolio will be
more susceptible to economic, political, or regulatory developments affecting
these securities than would be the case with a portfolio composed of varied
obligations of more issuers.
Because the Portfolio invests in securities backed by banks and other finan-
cial institutions, changes in the credit quality of these institutions could
cause losses to the Portfolio and affect its share price.
From time to time, proposals have been introduced before Congress for the
purpose of restricting or eliminating the Federal income tax exemption for
interest on municipal obligations and similar proposals may be introduced in
the future. If one of these proposals were enacted, the availability of tax
exempt obligations for investment by the Portfolio and the value of the Port-
folio securities would be affected. The Trustees would then reevaluate the
Portfolio's investment objective and policies.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on each day that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open.
The net asset value per share is computed by dividing the Portfolio's net
assets attributable to each class (i.e., the value of its assets less liabili-
ties) by the total number of its shares of the class outstanding. The Portfo-
lio may also determine net asset value per share on days when the NYSE is not
open, but when the settlement of securities may otherwise occur. The Portfolio
employs the "amortized cost method" of valuing portfolio securities and
intends to use its best efforts to continue to maintain a constant net asset
value of $1.00 per share.
DIVIDENDS, AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS AND AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT
The Portfolio declares dividends daily from its net investment income on
each day the NYSE is open. Net investment income includes interest accrued and
discount earned and is less premium amortized and expenses accrued (the amount
of discount or premium on portfolio investments is fixed at the time of pur-
chase). Unless the shareholder has elected to receive monthly distributions of
income, such
10
<PAGE>
DIVIDENDS, AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT AND TAXES (CONTINUED)
dividends will automatically be reinvested in Portfolio shares of the same
Class at net asset value. If a shareholder redeems an account in full between
payment dates, all dividends declared up to and including the date of liquida-
tion will be paid with the proceeds from the redemption of shares. The per
share dividends of Class A shares of the Portfolio may be less than the per
share dividends of the Class Y shares, principally as a result of the service
fee applicable to Class A shares.
TAXES
Federal Income Taxes. Under Subchapter M of the Code with which the Portfolio
intends to comply, no Federal income taxes will ordinarily be payable by the
Portfolio. Distributions by the Portfolio of interest income from tax exempt
obligations are not taxable to shareholders and will not be includable in their
gross income for Federal income tax purposes (see discussion of alternative
minimum tax above). Realized gains and losses are reflected in the Portfolio's
net assets and are not included in net investment income. Capital gain distri-
butions, if any, whether paid in cash or invested in shares of the Portfolio,
will be taxable to shareholders.
California State Taxes. California shareholders will not be subject to Cali-
fornia state personal income tax on Portfolio dividends to the extent that such
distributions qualify as exempt-interest dividends under the Code and Califor-
nia law and provided that, at the close of each quarter of the Portfolio's tax-
able year, at least 50% of the Portfolio's total assets are invested in munici-
pal obligations of California issuers. To the extent that distributions are
derived from taxable income, including long or short-term capital gains, such
distributions will not be exempt from California state personal income tax.
Dividends on the Portfolio are not excluded in determining California state
franchise taxes on corporations and financial institutions.
Under the Code, interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or
carry shares of the Portfolio will not be deductible to the extent that the
Portfolio's distributions are exempt from Federal income tax. In addition, any
loss realized upon the redemption of shares held less than six months will be
disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends received by the
shareholder during such period. However, this holding period may be shortened
by the Treasury Department to a period of not less than the greater of 31 days
or the period between regular dividend distributions. Further, persons who may
be "substantial users" (or "related persons" of substantial users) of facili-
ties financed by industrial development bonds should consult their tax advisers
before purchasing Portfolio shares.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important tax considera-
tions generally affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders. Additional tax
information of relevance to particular investors is contained in the Statement
of Additional Information. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisers
with specific reference to their own tax situation.

PURCHASE OF SHARES
Purchases of Portfolio shares may be made through a brokerage account main-
tained with Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney"), with a broker that clears
securities transactions through Smith Barney on a fully disclosed basis (an
"Introducing Broker") or an investment dealer in the selling group. No mainte-
nance fee will be charged by the Portfolio in connection with a brokerage
account through which an investor purchases or holds shares.
Investors in Class A may open an account by making an initial investment of
at least $1,000 for each Portfolio account. Investors in Class Y may open an
account by making an initial investment of at least $5,000,000. Subsequent
investments of at least $50 may be made for either Class. There are no minimum
investment requirements in Class A for employees of Travelers Group Inc.
("Travelers") and its subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, and Trustees or
Directors of any of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and their spouses and chil-
dren. The Portfolio reserves the right to waive or change minimums, to decline
any order to purchase its shares and to suspend the offering of shares from
time to time. Share certificates are issued only upon a shareholder's written
request to the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
("First Data").
For investors who maintain a brokerage account with Smith Barney, Smith Bar-
ney has advised the Portfolio that depending on the type of securities
account, its clients' free credit balances (i.e., immediately available funds)
will be invested automatically in full shares of the Portfolio either on a
daily or weekly basis. In addition to this "sweep" service, shareholders who
open a Smith Barney FMA PLUSSM account, which is a full service investment
account, will also be able to take advantage of, among other things: a free
Individual Retirement Account, free dividend reinvestment, unlimited checking,
100 free ATM withdrawals each year, free gain/loss analysis and online com-
puter access to account information. Smith Barney clients should contact their
Financial Consultant for more complete information. A complete record of Port-
folio dividends, purchases and redemptions will be included on such sharehold-
ers' regular Smith Barney statements.
The minimum initial investment requirement in the Portfolio for an account
established under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act is $250 and the subsequent
investment requirement is $50.
The Portfolio's shares are sold continuously at their net asset value next
determined after a purchase order is received and becomes effective. A pur-
chase order becomes effective when the Fund, Smith Barney or an Introducing
Broker receives, or converts the purchase amount into, Federal funds (i.e.,
monies of member banks within the Federal Reserve System held on deposit at a
Federal Reserve Bank). When orders for the purchase of Portfolio shares are
paid for in Federal funds, or are placed by an investor with sufficient Fed-
eral funds or cash balance in the investor's brokerage account with Smith Bar-
ney or the Introducing Broker, the order
12
<PAGE>
PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
becomes effective on the day of receipt if received prior to the close of reg-
ular trading on the NYSE on any day the Portfolio calculates its net asset
value. See "Valuation of Shares." Purchase orders received after the close of
regular trading on the NYSE on any business day are effective as of the time
the net asset value is next determined. When orders for the purchase of Port-
folio shares are paid for other than in Federal funds, Smith Barney or the
Introducing Broker, acting on behalf of the investor, will complete the con-
version into, or itself advance, Federal funds, and the order will become
effective on the day following its receipt by the Fund, Smith Barney or the
Introducing Broker. Shares purchased directly through First Data begin to
accrue income dividends on the day that the purchase order becomes effective.
All other shares begin to accrue income dividends on the next business day
following the day that the purchase order becomes effective.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Upon completion of certain automated systems, shareholders may make addi-
tions to their accounts at any time by purchasing shares through a service
known as the Systematic Investment Plan. Under the Systematic Investment Plan,
Smith Barney or First Data is authorized through preauthorized transfers to
charge the regular bank account or other financial institution indicated by
the shareholder on a monthly or quarterly basis to provide systematic addi-
tions to the shareholder's Portfolio account. For shareholders purchasing
shares of the Portfolio through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly
basis, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A shares and the
minimum subsequent investment requirement for both Classes is $25. For share-
holders purchasing shares of the Portfolio through the Systematic Investment
Plan on a quarterly basis, the minimum initial investment requirement for
Class A shares and the minimum subsequent investment requirement for both
Classes is $50. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to complete the
transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or First Data.
Additional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Barney Financial
Consultant.
LETTER OF INTENT
Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent provides an opportunity for investors to
meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares by aggregating
investments over a six-month period. Such investors must make an initial mini-
mum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the Portfolio and agree to
purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the same Portfolio within
six months from the date of the Letter. If a total investment of $5,000,000 is
not made within the six-month period, all Class Y shares purchased to date
will be transferred to Class A shares, where they will be subject to all fees
(including a service fee of 0.10%) and expenses applicable to the Portfolio's
Class A shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%. Please contact a Smith Bar-
ney Financial Consultant or First Data for further information.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shareholders may redeem their shares without charge on any day the Portfolio
calculates its net asset value. See "Valuation of Shares." Redemption requests
received in proper form before the close of regular trading are priced at the
net asset value as next determined on that day. Redemption requests received
after the close of regular trading are priced at the net asset value as next
determined.
The Portfolio normally transmits redemption proceeds on the business day
following receipt of a redemption request but, in any event, payment will be
made no later than the third business day after a redemption is made, except
on days on which the NYSE is closed and the settlement of securities does not
otherwise occur, or as permitted under the 1940 Act in extraordinary circum-
stances. Generally, if the redemption proceeds are remitted to a Smith Barney
brokerage account, these funds will not be invested for the shareholder's ben-
efit without specific instruction and Smith Barney will benefit from the use
of temporarily uninvested funds. A shareholder who pays for Portfolio shares
by personal check will be credited with the proceeds of a redemption of those
shares only after the purchase check has been collected, which may take up to
ten days or more. A shareholder who anticipates the need for more immediate
access to his or her investment should purchase shares with Federal funds, by
bank wire or with a certified or cashier's check.
Shareholders who purchase securities through Smith Barney or an Introducing
Broker may take advantage of special redemption procedures under which Class A
shares of the Portfolio will be redeemed automatically to the extent necessary
to satisfy debit balances arising in the shareholder's account with Smith Bar-
ney or the Introducing Broker. One example of how an automatic redemption may
occur involves the purchase of securities. If a shareholder purchases securi-
ties but does not pay for them by the settlement date, the number of Portfolio
shares necessary to cover the debit will be redeemed automatically as of the
settlement date, which usually occurs three business days after the trade
date. Class A shares that are subject to a CDSC (see "Redemption of Shares--
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge") are not eligible for such automatic redemp-
tion and will only be redeemed upon specific request. If the shareholder does
not request redemption of such shares, the shareholder's account with Smith
Barney or the Introducing Broker may be margined to satisfy debit balances if
sufficient Portfolio shares that are not subject to any applicable CDSC are
unavailable. No fee is currently charged with respect to these automatic
transactions. Shareholders not wishing to participate in these arrangements
should notify a Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Redemption requests must be made through Smith Barney, an Introducing Broker
or the securities dealer through whom the shares were purchased. A shareholder
desiring to redeem shares represented by certificates also must present the
certificates to Smith Barney or the Introducing Broker endorsed for transfer
(or accompanied by an endorsed stock power), signed exactly as the shares are
registered.
14
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
Redemption requests involving shares represented by certificates will not be
deemed received until the certificates are received by First Data in proper
form.
A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are regis-
tered. If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the cer-
tificates must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed stock
power) and must be submitted to First Data together with the redemption
request. Any signature appearing on a share certificate, stock power or written
redemption request in excess of $2,000 must be guaranteed by an eligible guar-
antor institution such as a domestic bank, savings and loan institution, domes-
tic credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or member firm of a
national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of $2,000 or less do
not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request
is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an invest-
or's address of record. First Data may require additional supporting documents
for redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators, trustees or
guardians. A redemption request will not be deemed properly received until
First Data receives all required documents in proper form.
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be eligible
to redeem and exchange Fund shares by telephone. To determine if a shareholder
is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact First Data
at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder must complete
and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a signature guaran-
tee that will be provided by First Data upon request. Alternatively, an
investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new account application
with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his or her initial invest-
ment in the Fund.
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes of
the Fund's shares may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First Data at
1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemptions of shares (i) by
retirement plans or (ii) for which certificates have been issued are not per-
mitted under this program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds mailed
to his or her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by the
shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the
case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In
order to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a
member of the Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with
a member bank. The
15
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee for each wire
redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the shareholder's
account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the bank account
designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must complete a new
Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the shareholder's
assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and certain other
documentation.
Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests
may be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open. See "Exchange
Privilege" for more information.
Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program. Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following instruc-
tions communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
The Fund and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the identity
of the caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a shareholder's
name and account number will be required and phone calls may be recorded). The
Fund reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the telephone
redemption and exchange program or to impose a charge for this service at any
time following at least seven days' prior notice to shareholders.
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
Class A shares of the Portfolio acquired as part of an exchange privilege
transaction, which were originally acquired in one of the other Smith Barney
Mutual Funds at net asset value subject to a CDSC, continue to be subject to
any applicable CDSC of the original fund. Therefore, such Class A shares that
are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase of the original fund may
be subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to and
retained by Smith Barney. The CDSC will be assessed based on an amount equal
to the net asset value at the time of redemption. Accordingly, no CDSC will be
imposed on increases in net asset value above the initial purchase price in
the original fund. In addition, no charge will be assessed on shares derived
from reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions.
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestments of dividends and capital gain distribu-
tions and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest
period of time. The length of time that Class A shares have been held will be
calculated from the date the shares were initially acquired in one of the
other Smith Barney Mutual Funds and such shares being redeemed will be consid-
ered to represent, as applicable, capital appre-
16
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
ciation or dividend and capital gain distribution reinvestments in such other
funds. For Federal income tax purposes, the amount of the CDSC will reduce the
gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on the amount realized on
redemption.
The CDSC on Class A shares will be waived on (a) exchanges (see "Exchange
Privilege"); (b) redemptions of shares within 12 months following the death or
disability of the shareholder; (c) involuntary redemptions; and (d) redemptions
of shares to effect a combination of the Portfolio with any investment company
by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise. In addition, a shareholder who
has redeemed shares from other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds may,
under certain circumstances, reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds
within 60 days and receive pro rata credit for any CDSC imposed on the prior
redemption.
CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in the
case of shareholders who are also Smith Barney clients or by First Data in the
case of all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status or holdings, as the
case may be.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Except as otherwise noted below, shares of each Class may be exchanged for
shares of the same Class in the following funds of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds, to the extent shares are offered for sale in the shareholder's state of
residence. Exchanges of Class A shares are subject to minimum investment
requirements and all shares are subject to the other requirements of the fund
into which exchanges are made and a sales charge may apply.

* Available for exchange with Class A shares of the Portfolio.
Class A Exchanges. Class A shares of the Portfolio will be subject to the
appropriate sales charge upon the exchange of such shares for Class A shares of
another fund of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds sold with a sales charge. If no
sales charge was imposed upon the initial purchase of the shares, any shares
obtained through automatic reinvestment will be subject to a sales charge dif-
ferential upon exchange.
Class Y Exchanges. Class Y shareholders of the Portfolio who wish to exchange
all or a portion of their Class Y shares for Class Y shares in any of the funds
identified above may do so without imposition of any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can
be detrimental to the Portfolio's performance and its shareholders. The Manager
may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is excessive and contrary to
the best interests of the Portfolio's other shareholders. In this event the
Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional purchases and/or
exchanges by the shareholder. Upon such a determination, the Fund will provide
notice in writing or by telephone to the shareholder at least 15 days prior to
suspending the exchange privilege and during the 15 day period the shareholder
will be required to (a) redeem his or her shares in the Portfolio or (b) remain
invested in the Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds ordinarily available, which position the shareholder would be
expected to maintain for a significant period of time. All relevant factors
will be considered in determining what constitutes an abusive pattern of
exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See "Re-
demption of Shares--Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges will
be processed at the net asset value next determined plus any applicable sales
charge. Redemption procedures discussed above are also applicable for exchang-
ing shares, and exchanges will be made upon receipt of all supporting documents
in proper form. If the account registration of the shares of the fund being
acquired is identical to the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged,
no signature guarantee is required. A capital gain or loss for tax purposes
will be realized upon the exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of
shares redeemed. Before exchanging shares, investors should read the current
prospectus describing the shares to be acquired. The Portfolio reserves the
right to modify or discontinue exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice
to shareholders.
19
<PAGE>
MINIMUM ACCOUNT SIZE
The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's
account if the aggregate net asset value of the shares held in the account is
less than $500. If a shareholder has more than one account in the Portfolio,
each account must satisfy the minimum account size. Before the Fund exercises
such right, shareholders will receive written notice and will be permitted 60
days to bring the account up to the minimum to avoid involuntary liquidation.
YIELD INFORMATION
From time to time the Portfolio may advertise its yield, effective yield and
tax equivalent yield. These figures are computed separately for Class A and
Class Y shares of the Portfolio. These yield figures will be based on histori-
cal earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The yield of
the Portfolio refers to the net investment income generated by an investment
in the Portfolio over a specific seven-day period (which will be stated in the
advertisement). This net investment income is then annualized. The effective
yield is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an
investment in the Portfolio is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield
will be slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of
the assumed reinvestment. The tax equivalent yield also is calculated simi-
larly to the yield, except that a stated income tax rate is used to demon-
strate the taxable yield necessary to produce an after-tax yield equivalent to
the tax-exempt yield of the Portfolio.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
TRUSTEES
Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund rests with
the Fund's Trustees. The Trustees approve all significant agreements between
the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and the Portfo-
lio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manager,
custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Fund are dele-
gated to the Fund's investment manager. The Statement of Additional Informa-
tion contains background information regarding each Trustee and executive
officer of the Fund.
MANAGER
The Manager manages the day to day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to a
Management Agreement entered into on behalf of the Portfolio. SBMFM is a sub-
sidiary of Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), the parent company of
Smith Barney (the "Distributor"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Travelers, which is a financial services holding company engaged, through its
subsidiaries, principally in four business segments: Investment Services, Con-
sumer Finance Services, Life Insurance Services and Property & Casualty Insur-
ance Services.
20
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND (CONTINUED)
SBMFM, Holdings and Smith Barney are each located at 388 Greenwich Street, New
York, New York 10013. SBMFM renders investment advice to investment companies
that had aggregate assets under management as of May 31, 1997 of approximately
$87 billion.
SBMFM provides the Fund with investment management services, executive and
other personnel, pays the remuneration of Fund officers, provides the Fund
with office space and equipment, furnishes the Fund with bookkeeping, account-
ing, administrative services and services relating to research, statistical
work and supervision of the Portfolio. For the services provided, the Portfo-
lio pays SBMFM a daily fee calculated at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Port-
folio's average net assets. For the last fiscal year the total expenses for
Class A shares were 0.67% of average net assets. SBMFM has agreed to waive its
fee with respect to a Class to the extent that it is necessary if in any fis-
cal year the aggregate expenses of such Class exclusive of 12b-1 fees, taxes,
brokerage, interest and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation costs,
exceed 0.70% of its average daily net assets for that fiscal year. The 0.70%
expense limitation shall be in effect until it is terminated by notice to
shareholders and by supplement to the then-current prospectus.
The term "Smith Barney" in the title of the Fund has been adopted by permis-
sion of Smith Barney and is subject to the right of Smith Barney to elect that
the Fund stop using the term in any form or combination of its name.
DISTRIBUTOR
Smith Barney distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter
and as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts"
arrangement requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as
may be sold to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the
Portfolio under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is
paid an annual service fee with respect to Class A shares of the Portfolio at
the annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares.
The fee is used by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing
Class A shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder remains a holder of
the Class. The service fee is also spent by Smith Barney on the following
types of expenses: (1) the pro rata share of other employment costs of such
financial consultants (e.g., FICA, employee benefits, etc.); (2) employment
expenses of home office personnel primarily responsible for providing service
to Class A shareholders and (3) the pro rata share of branch office fixed
expenses (including branch overhead allocations). Shareholder servicing
expenses incurred by Smith Barney but not reimbursed by Class A in any year
will not be a continuing liability of the Class in subsequent years.
Smith Barney also advises profit-sharing and pension accounts. Smith Barney
and its affiliates may in the future act as investment advisers for other
accounts.
21
<PAGE>
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Fund, an open-end, non-diversified management investment company, is
organized as a "Massachusetts business trust" pursuant to a Declaration of
Trust dated August 14, 1985. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees
have authorized the issuance of twenty series of shares, each representing
shares in one of twenty separate Portfolios. The assets of each Portfolio are
segregated and separately managed. Each share of a Portfolio represents an
equal proportionate interest in the net assets of that Portfolio with each
other share of the same Portfolio and is entitled to such dividends and distri-
butions out of the net income of that Portfolio as are declared in the discre-
tion of the Trustees. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held
and will vote by individual Portfolio except as otherwise permitted by the 1940
Act. It is the intention of the Fund not to hold annual meetings of sharehold-
ers. The Trustees may call meetings of shareholders for action by shareholder
vote as may be required by the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust, and share-
holders are entitled to call a meeting upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's out-
standing shares for purposes of voting on removal of a Trustee or Trustees. The
Fund will assist shareholders in calling such a meeting as required by the 1940
Act. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights and have
only such conversion or exchange rights as the Trustees may grant in their dis-
cretion. When issued for payment as described in this Prospectus, the Fund's
shares will be fully paid and transferrable (subject to the Portfolio's minimum
account size). Shares are redeemable as set forth under "Redemption of Shares"
and are subject to involuntary liquidation as set forth under "Minimum Account
Size."
PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets, Phila-
delphia, PA 19103, serves as custodian of the Portfolio's investments.
First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves as
the Fund's transfer agent.
The Fund sends its shareholders a semi-annual report and an audited annual
report, which include listings of the investment securities held by the Portfo-
lio at the end of the period covered. In an effort to reduce the Fund's print-
ing and mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of its semi-
annual and annual reports by household. This consolidation means that a house-
hold having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will receive
a single copy of each report. Shareholders who do not want this consolidation
to apply to their account should contact their Smith Barney Financial Consul-
tants or the Fund's transfer agent.

PROSPECTUS July 29, 1997
Smith Barney Muni Funds
New York Money Market Portfolio
388 Greenwich Street New York, New York 10013 (800) 451-2010
The New York Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is one of nine invest-
ment portfolios that currently comprise Smith Barney Muni Funds (the "Fund").
The Portfolio seeks to provide its shareholders with income exempt from both
Federal income taxes (other than the alternative minimum tax) and New York
State and City personal income taxes from a portfolio of high quality short-
term New York municipal obligations selected for liquidity and stability of
principal.
THE PORTFOLIO MAY INVEST A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF ITS ASSETS IN A SINGLE
ISSUER AND THEREFORE INVESTMENT IN THE PORTFOLIO MAY BE RISKIER THAN AN INVEST-
MENT IN OTHER TYPES OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS.
SHARES OF THE PORTFOLIO ARE NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PORTFOLIO WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET
ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.
This Prospectus sets forth concisely certain information about the Fund and
the Portfolio, including service fees and expenses, that prospective investors
will find helpful in making an investment decision. Investors are encouraged to
read this Prospectus carefully and retain it for future reference.
Additional information about the Portfolio is contained in a Statement of
Additional Information dated July 29, 1997, as amended or supplemented from
time to time, that is available upon request and without charge by calling or
writing the Fund at the telephone number or address set forth above or by con-
tacting a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. The Statement of Additional Infor-
mation has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
and is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus in its entirety.

EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding the
various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or indirect-
ly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses at the
levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares," "Redemption of
Shares," "Management of the Fund" and "Distributor."

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The New York Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide income exempt from both
Federal income taxes and New York State and New York City personal income
taxes from a portfolio of high quality short-term municipal obligations
selected for liquidity and stability of principal. The Portfolio will seek to
be fully invested in obligations that are issued by the State of New York and
its political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest from
which, in the opinion of counsel for the various issuers, is exempt from New
York State and City as well as Federal income taxes. (For certain sharehold-
ers, a portion of the Portfolio's income may be subject to the alternative
minimum tax.)
Opinions relating to the validity of municipal obligations and to the exemp-
tion of interest thereon from Federal income taxes and from New York State and
New York City personal income taxes are rendered by bond counsel to the
respective issuers at the time of issuance. Neither the Portfolio nor its
investment adviser will review the proceedings relating to the issuance of
municipal obligations or the basis for such opinions.
The two principal classifications of municipal obligations are "general
obligation" and "revenue." General obligations are secured by a municipal
issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest. Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases,
from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source.
Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discus-
sion about the different types of municipal obligations.
All of the Portfolio's investments will be in securities that at the time of
investment have or are deemed by Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc.
("SBMFM" or the "Manager") to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less
and the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Portfolio will be 90 days or
less. The Portfolio will seek to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00
per share, although no assurance can be given that this goal will be achieved.
Except for temporary defensive purposes, it is a fundamental policy that at
least 80% of the Portfolio's assets will be invested in securities that pro-
duce income that is exempt from Federal income taxes (other than the alterna-
tive minimum tax) and from State and City personal income taxes in the opinion
of bond counsel for the various issuers.
The Portfolio's investments will be limited to obligations that the Fund's
Trustees' delegates determine present minimal credit risks and that (i) are
secured by the full faith and credit of the United States or (ii) are "Eligi-
ble Securities," as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "1940 Act"), at the time of acquisition by the Portfolio. The term "Eli-
gible Securities" includes securities rated by the "Requisite NRSROs" in one
of the two highest short-term rating
5
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
categories, securities of issuers that have received such ratings with respect
to other short-term debt securities and comparable unrated securities. "Requi-
site NRSROs" means any nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
("NRSROs") that have issued ratings with respect to a security or class of debt
obligations of an issuer. Currently, there are six NRSROs: Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group, Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Investors Services, Inc.,
Duff and Phelps Inc., IBCA Limited and its affiliate, IBCA, Inc. and Thomson
BankWatch. The Portfolio may also invest in unrated securities if they are of
comparable quality as determined by the Manager in accordance with criteria
established by the Fund's Trustees.
Municipal obligations, which are issued by states, municipalities and their
agencies, fall into two major categories--bonds and notes. Among the types of
obligations in which the Portfolio invests are "puts," such as floating or
variable rate instruments subject to demand features ("demand instruments");
tax-exempt commercial paper; and notes such as Tax Anticipation Notes, Revenue
Anticipation Notes, Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes and Bond Anticipation
Notes. Demand instruments usually have an indicated maturity of more than 13
months but contain a demand feature (a "put") that entitles the holder to
receive the principal amount of the underlying security and may be exercised
either (a) at any time on no more than 30 days' notice; or (b) at specified
intervals not exceeding one year and upon no more than 30 days' notice. Demand
instruments are generally supported by letters of credit which are issued by
both domestic and foreign banks. A variable rate instrument provides for
adjustment of its interest rate on set dates and upon such adjustment can rea-
sonably be expected to have a market value that approximates its par value; a
floating rate instrument provides for adjustment of its interest rate whenever
a specific interest rate (e.g., the prime rate) changes and at any time can
reasonably be expected to have a market value that approximates its par value.
The Portfolio may invest without limit in private activity bonds. Interest
income on certain types of private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986
to finance non-governmental activities is a specific tax preference item for
purposes of the Federal individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes.
Individual and corporate shareholders may be subject to a Federal alternative
minimum tax to the extent the Portfolio's dividends are derived from interest
on these bonds. These private activity bonds are included in the term "munici-
pal obligations" for purposes of determining compliance with the 80% test
described above. Dividends derived from interest income on all municipal obli-
gations are a component of the "current earnings" adjustment item for purposes
of the Federal corporate alternative minimum tax.
The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of the value of its assets in one or more
of the three principal types of derivative product structures described below.
Derivative products are typically structured by a bank, broker-dealer or other
financial
6
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
institution. A derivative product generally consists of a trust or partnership
through which the Portfolio holds an interest in one or more underlying bonds
coupled with a conditional right to sell ("put") the Portfolio's interest in
the underlying bonds at par plus accrued interest to a financial institution
(a "Liquidity Provider"). Typically, a derivative product is structured as a
trust or partnership which provides for pass-through tax-exempt income. There
are currently three principal types of derivative structures: (1) "Tender
Option Bonds," which are instruments which grant the holder thereof the right
to put an underlying bond at par plus accrued interest at specified intervals
to a Liquidity Provider; (2) "Swap Products," in which the trust or partner-
ship swaps the payments due on an underlying bond with a swap counterparty who
agrees to pay a floating municipal money market interest rate; and (3) "Part-
nerships," which allocate to the partners income, expenses, capital gains and
losses in accordance with a governing partnership agreement.
Investments in derivative products raise certain tax, legal, regulatory and
accounting issues which may not be presented by investments in other municipal
bonds. There is some risk that certain issues could be resolved in a manner
which could adversely impact the performance of the Portfolio. For example,
the tax-exempt treatment of the interest paid to holders of derivative prod-
ucts is premised on the legal conclusion that the holders of such derivative
products have an ownership interest in the underlying bonds. While the Portfo-
lio receives an opinion of legal counsel to the effect that the income from
each derivative product is tax-exempt to the same extent as the underlying
bond, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has not issued a ruling on this
subject. Were the IRS to issue an adverse ruling, there is a risk that the
interest paid on such derivative products would be deemed taxable.
The Portfolio intends to limit the risk of derivative products by purchasing
only those derivative products that are consistent with the Portfolio's
investment objective and policies. The Portfolio will not use such instruments
to leverage securities. Hence, derivative products' contributions to the over-
all market risk characteristics of a Portfolio will not materially alter its
risk profile and will be fully representative of the Portfolio's maturity
guidelines.
The Portfolio will not invest more than 10% of the value of its total assets
in illiquid securities, which will include: (i) under certain circumstances,
derivative products; (ii) floating- or variable-rate demand instruments as to
which the Portfolio cannot exercise the demand feature on not more than seven
days' notice if there is no secondary market available for these instruments;
(iii) other securities that are not readily marketable; and (iv) any repur-
chase transactions that do not mature within seven days.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
RISK AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its investment
objective. The ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objective is
dependent on a number of factors, including the skills of the Manager in pur-
chasing municipal obligations whose issuers have the continuing ability to meet
their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The abil-
ity to achieve a high level of income is dependent on the yields of the securi-
ties in the portfolio. Yields on municipal obligations are the product of a
variety of factors, including the general conditions of the money market, of
the municipal bond and municipal note markets, the size of a particular offer-
ing, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the issue. Municipal
obligations with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields and are gener-
ally subject to potentially greater price fluctuations than obligations with
shorter maturities.
The Portfolio's concentration in New York State and New York City obligations
involves certain additional risks that should be considered carefully by
investors. In certain prior fiscal years, the State has failed to enact a bud-
get prior to the beginning of the State's fiscal year. A delay in the adoption
of the State's budget beyond the statutory April 1 deadline and the resultant
delay in the State's Spring borrowing has in certain prior years delayed the
projected receipt by the City of State aid, and there can be no assurance that
State budgets in the future fiscal years will be adopted by the April 1 statu-
tory deadline.
The State has noted that its forecasts of tax receipts have been subject to
variance in recent fiscal years. As a result of these uncertainties and other
factors, actual results could differ materially and adversely from the State's
current projections and the State's projections could be materially and
adversely changed from time to time. There can be no assurance that the State
will not face substantial potential budget gaps in future years resulting from
a significant disparity between tax revenues projected from a lower recurring
receipts base and the spending required to maintain State programs at current
levels. To address any potential budgetary imbalance, the State may need to
take significant actions to align recurring receipts and disbursements in
future fiscal years. Because the State, the City, the State's other political
subdivisions and the State Authorities, all of which borrow money, are or are
perceived in the marketplace to be financially interdependent, any financial
difficulty experienced by one can adversely affect the market value and market-
ability of obligations issued by others. The State's credit is presently
involved with the indebtedness of the Authorities because of the State's guar-
antee or other support. This indebtedness is a substantial amount. The Authori-
ties are likely to require further financial assistance from the State. After
nearly five years of decline, the City appears to be on the verge of a broad-
based recovery which will lift many sectors of the local economy. Most of the
recent local recovery can be attributed to the continued improvement in the
U.S. economy, but a great deal of
8
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
the strength expected in the City economy will be due to local factors, such
as the heavy concentration of the securities and banking industries in the
City.
For each of the 1981 through 1995 fiscal years, the City achieved
balanced operating results as reported in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The City was required to close
substantial budget gaps in recent years in order to maintain balanced
operating results, as required by the laws of the State. See the Statement of
Additional Information for a more detailed description of these and other
risks relating to the Portfolio's investments in New York obligations.
Investors purchasing municipal obligations of their state of residence, or a
fund comprised of such obligations, should recognize that the benefits of the
exemption from state and local taxes, in addition to the exemption from Fed-
eral taxes, necessarily limits the fund's ability to diversify geographically.
When-Issued Purchase Commitments. New issues of municipal obligations are
often offered on a "when-issued" basis, i.e., delivery and payment normally
take place 15 to 45 days after the purchase date. The payment obligation and
the interest rate to be received on the securities are fixed at the time the
buyer enters into the commitment, although no interest accrues with respect to
a when-issued security prior to its stated delivery date. The Portfolio will
only make commitments to purchase such securities with the intention of actu-
ally acquiring the securities, but the Portfolio may sell these securities
before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable as a matter of investment
strategy. A segregated account of the Portfolio consisting of cash or debt
securities of any grade having a value equal to or greater than the Portfo-
lio's purchase commitments, provided such securities have been determined by
the Manager to be liquid and unencumbered and are marked to market daily pur-
suant to guidelines established by the Trustees, will be maintained with PNC
Bank, National Association (the "Custodian") and monitored on a daily basis so
that the market value of the account will equal or exceed the amount of such
commitments by the Portfolio.
Securities purchased on a "when-issued" basis are subject to changes in mar-
ket value prior to delivery based not only upon the public's perception of the
creditworthiness of the issuer but also changes in the level of interest
rates, i.e., appreciating when interest rates decline and depreciating when
interest rates rise. Therefore,
if in order to achieve higher interest income the Portfolio remains
substantially fully invested at the same time that it has purchased securities
on a "when-issued" basis, there will be a greater possibility that the market
value of the Portfolio's assets will vary from $1.00 per share. (See
"Determination of Net Asset Value.") And there will be a greater potential for
the realization of capital gains, which are not exempt from Federal or state
income taxes.
9
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stand-By Commitments. The Portfolio may acquire "stand-by commitments" with
respect to municipal obligations held in its portfolio. Under a stand-by com-
mitment a dealer agrees to purchase, at the Portfolio's option, specified
municipal obligations at a specified price. The Portfolio intends to enter into
stand-by commitments only with dealers, banks and broker-dealers which, in the
opinion of the Manager, present minimal credit risks. In evaluating the credit-
worthiness of the issuer of a stand-by commitment, the Manager will review
periodically the issuer's assets, liabilities, contingent claims and other rel-
evant financial information. The Portfolio will acquire stand-by commitments
solely to facilitate portfolio liquidity and does not intend to exercise its
rights thereunder for trading purposes.
Other Factors to be Considered. The Portfolio anticipates being as fully
invested as practicable in New York municipal obligations and generally expects
to invest the proceeds received from the sale of shares in New York municipal
obligations as soon as reasonably possible, which is generally within one day.
At no time will more than 20% of the Portfolio's net assets be invested in tax-
able investments except when the Portfolio has adopted a temporary defensive
investment policy.
The Portfolio may engage in short-term trading to attempt to take advantage
of short-term market variations or may dispose of a portfolio security prior to
its maturity if it believes such disposition advisable or it needs to generate
cash to satisfy redemptions. In such cases, the Portfolio may realize a gain or
loss.
The Fund is registered as a "non-diversified" company under the 1940 Act in
order for the Portfolio to have the ability to invest more than 5% of its
assets in the securities of any issuer. The Portfolio intends to comply with
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")
which limits the aggregate value of all holdings (except U.S. government and
cash items, as defined in the Code) that exceed 5% of the Portfolio's total
assets to an aggregate amount of 50% of such assets. Also, holdings of a single
issuer (with the same exceptions) may not exceed 25% of the Portfolio's total
assets. These limits are measured at the end of each quarter. Under the
Subchapter M limits, non-diversification allows up to 50% of the Portfolio's
total assets to be invested in as few as two single issuers. In the event of a
decline in creditworthiness of, or default upon, the obligations of one or more
such issuers exceeding 5%, an investment in the Portfolio will entail greater
risk than in a portfolio having a policy of diversification because a high per-
centage of the Portfolio's assets may be invested in municipal obligations of
one or two issuers. Furthermore, a high percentage of investments among few
issuers may result in a greater degree of fluctuation in the market value of
the assets of the Portfolio, and consequently a greater degree of fluctuation
of the Portfolio's net asset value, because the Portfolio will be more suscep-
tible to economic, political, or regulatory developments affecting these secu-
rities than would be the case with a portfolio composed of varied obligations
of more issuers.
10
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Because the Portfolio invests in securities backed by banks and other finan-
cial institutions, changes in the credit quality of these institutions could
cause losses to the Portfolio and affect its share price.
From time to time, proposals have been introduced before Congress for the
purpose of restricting or eliminating the Federal income tax exemption for
interest on municipal obligations and similar proposals may be introduced in
the future. If one of these proposals were enacted, the availability of tax
exempt obligations for investment by the Portfolio and the value of the Port-
folio securities would be affected. The Trustees would then reevaluate the
Portfolio's investment objective and policies.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on each day that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open.
The net asset value per share is computed by dividing the Portfolio's net
assets attributable to each Class (i.e., the value of its assets less liabili-
ties) by the total number of its shares of the Class outstanding. The Portfo-
lio may also determine net asset value per share on days when the NYSE is not
open, but when the settlement of securities may otherwise occur. The Portfolio
employs the "amortized cost method" of valuing portfolio securities and
intends to use its best efforts to continue to maintain a constant net asset
value of $1.00 per share.
DIVIDENDS, AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS AND AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT
The Portfolio declares dividends daily from its net investment income on
each day the NYSE is open. Net investment income includes interest accrued and
discount earned and is less premium amortized and expenses accrued (the amount
of discount or premium on portfolio investments is fixed at the time of pur-
chase). Unless the shareholder has elected to receive monthly distributions of
income, such dividends will automatically be reinvested in Portfolio shares of
the same Class at net asset value. If a shareholder redeems an account in full
between payment dates, all dividends declared up to and including the date of
liquidation will be paid with the proceeds from the redemption of shares. The
per share dividends on Class A shares of the Portfolio may be lower than the
per share dividends on Class Y shares, principally as a result of the service
fee applicable to Class A shares.
TAXES
Federal Income Taxes. Under Subchapter M of the Code, with which the Portfo-
lio intends to comply, no Federal income taxes will ordinarily be payable by
the Portfolio. Distributions by the Portfolio of interest income from tax
exempt obliga -
11
<PAGE>
DIVIDENDS, AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT AND TAXES (CONTINUED)
tions are not taxable to shareholders and will not be includable in their gross
income for Federal income tax purposes (see discussion of alternative minimum
tax above). Realized gains and losses are reflected in the Portfolio's net
assets and are not included in net investment income. Capital gain distribu-
tions, if any, whether paid in cash or invested in shares of the Portfolio,
will be taxable to shareholders.
New York State and City Taxes. New York shareholders will not be subject to
New York State and City personal income tax on Portfolio dividends to the
extent that such distributions qualify as exempt-interest dividends under the
Code and represent interest income attributable to Federally tax-exempt obliga-
tions of the State of New York and its political subdivisions (as well as cer-
tain other Federally tax-exempt obligations the interest on which is exempt
from New York State and City income tax, such as certain obligations of U.S.
Territories). To the extent that distributions on the Portfolio are derived
from taxable income, including long or short-term capital gains, such distribu-
tions will not be exempt from New York State or City personal income tax. Divi-
dends on the Portfolio are not excluded in determining New York State franchise
or New York City business taxes on corporations and financial institutions.
Under the Code, interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or
carry shares of the Portfolio will not be deductible to the extent that the
Portfolio's distributions are exempt from Federal income tax. In addition, any
loss realized upon the redemption of shares held less than six months will be
disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends received by the
shareholder during such period. However, this holding period may be shortened
by the Treasury Department to a period of not less than the greater of 31 days
or the period between regular dividend distributions. Further, persons who may
be "substantial users" (or "related persons" of substantial users) of facili-
ties financed by industrial development bonds should consult their tax advisers
before purchasing Portfolio shares.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important tax considera-
tions generally affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders. Additional tax
information of relevance to particular investors is contained in the Statement
of Additional Information. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisers
with specific reference to their own tax situation.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Purchases of Portfolio shares may be made through a brokerage account main-
tained with Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney"), with a broker that clears secu-
rities transactions through Smith Barney on a fully disclosed basis (an "Intro-
ducing Broker") or an investment dealer in the selling group. No maintenance
fee will be charged by the Portfolio in connection with a brokerage account
through which an investor purchases or holds shares.
12
<PAGE>
PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
Investors in Class A may open an account by making an initial investment of
at least $1,000 for each Portfolio account. Investors in Class Y may open an
account by making an initial investment of at least $5,000,000 (except for
purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc.,
for which there is no minimum purchase amount). Subsequent investments of at
least $50 may be made for either Class. There are no minimum investment
requirements in Class A for employees of Travelers Group Inc. ("Travelers")
and its subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, and Trustees or Directors of any
of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and their spouses and children. The Portfo-
lio reserves the right to waive or change minimums, to decline any order to
purchase its shares and to suspend the offering of shares from time to time.
Share certificates are issued only upon a shareholder's written request to the
Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("First
Data").
For investors who maintain a brokerage account with Smith Barney, Smith Bar-
ney has advised the Portfolio that depending on the type of securities
account, its clients' free credit balances (i.e., immediately available funds)
may be invested automatically in full shares of the Portfolio either on a
daily or weekly basis. In addition to this "sweep" service, shareholders who
open a Smith Barney FMA PLUS SM account, which is a full service investment
account, will also be able to take advantage of, among other things: a free
Individual Retirement Account, free dividend reinvestment, unlimited checking,
100 free ATM withdrawals each year, free gain/loss analysis and online com-
puter access to account information. Smith Barney clients should contact their
Financial Consultant for more complete information. A complete record of Port-
folio dividends, purchases and redemptions will be included on such sharehold-
ers' regular Smith Barney statements.
The minimum initial investment requirement in the Portfolio for an account
established under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act is $250 and the subsequent
investment requirement is $50.
The Portfolio's shares are sold continuously at their net asset value next
determined after a purchase order is received and becomes effective. A pur-
chase order becomes effective when the Portfolio, Smith Barney or an Introduc-
ing Broker receives, or converts the purchase amount into, Federal funds
(i.e., monies of member banks within the Federal Reserve System held on
deposit at a Federal Reserve Bank). When orders for the purchase of Portfolio
shares are paid for in Federal funds, or are placed by an investor with suffi-
cient Federal funds or cash balance in the investor's brokerage account with
Smith Barney or the Introducing Broker, the order becomes effective on the day
of receipt if received prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE on
any day the Portfolio calculates its net asset value. See "Valuation of
Shares." Purchase orders received after the close of regular trading on the
NYSE on any business day are effective as of the time the net asset value is
13

PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
next determined. When orders for the purchase of Portfolio shares are paid for
other than in Federal funds, Smith Barney or the Introducing Broker, acting on
behalf of the investor, will complete the conversion into, or itself advance,
Federal funds, and the order will become effective on the day following its
receipt by the Fund, Smith Barney or the Introducing Broker. Shares purchased
directly through First Data begin to accrue income dividends on the day that
the purchase order becomes effective. All other shares begin to accrue income
dividends on the next business day following the day that the purchase order
becomes effective.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Upon completion of certain automated systems, shareholders may make additions
to their accounts at any time by purchasing shares through a service known as
the Systematic Investment Plan. Under the Systematic Investment Plan, Smith
Barney or First Data is authorized through preauthorized transfers to charge
the regular bank account or other financial institution indicated by the share-
holder on a monthly or quarterly basis to provide systematic additions to the
shareholder's Portfolio account. For shareholders purchasing shares of the
Portfolio through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly basis, the mini-
mum initial investment requirement for Class A shares and the minimum subse-
quent investment requirement for both Classes is $25. For shareholders purchas-
ing shares of the Portfolio through the Systematic Investment Plan on a quar-
terly basis, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A shares and
the minimum subsequent investment requirement for both Classes is $50. A share-
holder who has insufficient funds to complete the transfer will be charged a
fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or First Data. Additional information is
available from the Fund or a Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
LETTER OF INTENT
Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent provides an opportunity for investors to
meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares by aggregating
investments over a six-month period. Such investors must make an initial mini-
mum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the Portfolio and agree to pur-
chase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the same Portfolio within six
months from the date of the Letter. If a total investment of $5,000,000 is not
made within the six-month period, all Class Y shares purchased to date will be
transferred to Class A shares, where they will be subject to all fees (includ-
ing a service fee of 0.10%) and expenses applicable to the Portfolio's Class A
shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%. Please contact a Smith Barney Finan-
cial Consultant or First Data for further information.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shareholders may redeem their shares without charge on any day the Portfolio
calculates its net asset value. See "Valuation of Shares." Redemption requests
14
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
received in proper form before the close of regular trading on the NYSE are
priced at the net asset value as next determined on that day. Redemption
requests received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at
the net asset value as next determined.
The Portfolio normally transmits redemption proceeds on the business day
following receipt of a redemption request but, in any event, payment will be
made no later than the third business day after a redemption request is made,
except on days on which the NYSE is closed and the settlement of securities
does not otherwise occur, or as permitted under the 1940 Act in extraordinary
circumstances. Generally, if the redemption proceeds are remitted to a Smith
Barney brokerage account, these funds will not be invested for the sharehold-
er's benefit without specific instruction and Smith Barney will benefit from
the use of temporarily uninvested funds. A shareholder who pays for Portfolio
shares by personal check will be credited with the proceeds of a redemption of
those shares only after the purchase check has been collected, which may take
up to ten days or more. A shareholder who anticipates the need for more imme-
diate access to his or her investment should purchase shares with Federal
funds, by bank wire or with a certified or cashier's check.
Shareholders who purchase securities through Smith Barney or an Introducing
Broker may take advantage of special redemption procedures under which Class A
shares of the Portfolio will be redeemed automatically to the extent necessary
to satisfy debit balances arising in the shareholder's account with Smith Bar-
ney or the Introducing Broker. One example of how an automatic redemption may
occur involves the purchase of securities. If a shareholder purchases securi-
ties but does not pay for them by the settlement date, the number of Portfolio
shares necessary to cover the debit will be redeemed automatically as of the
settlement date, which usually occurs three business days after the trade
date. Class A shares that are subject to a CDSC (see "Redemption of Shares--
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge") are not eligible for such automatic redemp-
tion and will only be redeemed upon specific request. If the shareholder does
not request redemption of such shares, the shareholder's account with Smith
Barney or the Introducing Broker may be margined to satisfy debit balances if
sufficient Portfolio shares that are not subject to any applicable CDSC are
unavailable. No fee is currently charged with respect to these automatic
transactions. Shareholders not wishing to participate in these arrangements
should notify a Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Redemption requests must be made through Smith Barney, an Introducing Broker
or the securities dealer through whom the shares were purchased. A shareholder
desiring to redeem shares represented by certificates also must present the
certificates to Smith Barney or the Introducing Broker endorsed for transfer
(or accompanied by an endorsed stock power), signed exactly as the shares are
registered. Redemption requests involving shares represented by certificates
will not be deemed received until the certificates are received by First Data
in proper form.
15
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are regis-
tered. If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the cer-
tificates must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed stock
power) and must be submitted to First Data together with the redemption
request. Any signature appearing on a share certificate, stock power or written
redemption request in excess of $2,000 must be guaranteed by an eligible guar-
antor institution such as a domestic bank, savings and loan institution, domes-
tic credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or member firm of a
national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of $2,000 or less do
not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request
is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an invest-
or's address of record. First Data may require additional supporting documents
for redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators, trustees or
guardians. A redemption request will not be deemed properly received until
First Data receives all required documents in proper form.
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be eligible
to redeem and exchange Portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a share-
holder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a sig-
nature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon request. Alterna-
tively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new account
application with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his or her
initial investment in the Fund.
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes of
the Fund's shares may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First Data
at1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemptions of shares (i) by
retirement plans or (ii) for which certificates have been issued are not per-
mitted under this program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds mailed
to his or her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by the
shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the
case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In
order to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a
member of the Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with
a member bank. The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee
for each wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the
shareholder's account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the
bank account designated to
16
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must complete a new Telephone/Wire
Authorization Form and, for the protection of the shareholder's assets, will
be required to provide a signature guarantee and certain other documentation.
Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests
may be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open. See "Exchange
Privilege" for more information.
Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program.
Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following instructions com-
municated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be genuine. The Fund
and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the identity of the
caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a shareholder's name and
account number will be required and phone calls may be recorded). The Fund
reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the telephone redemption
and exchange program or to impose a charge for this service at any time fol-
lowing at least seven days' prior notice to shareholders.
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
Class A shares of the Portfolio acquired as part of an exchange privilege
transaction, which were originally acquired in one of the other Smith Barney
Mutual Funds at net asset value subject to a CDSC, continue to be subject to
any applicable CDSC of the original fund. Therefore, such Class A shares that
are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase of the original fund may
be subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to and
retained by Smith Barney. The CDSC will be assessed based on an amount equal
to the net asset value at the time of redemption. Accordingly, no CDSC will be
imposed on increases in net asset value above the initial purchase price in
the original fund. In addition, no charge will be assessed on shares derived
from reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions.
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestments of dividends and capital gain distribu-
tions and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest
period of time. The length of time that Class A shares have been held will be
calculated from the date the shares were initially acquired in one of the
other Smith Barney Mutual Funds and such shares being redeemed will be consid-
ered to represent, as applicable, capital appreciation or dividend and capital
gain distribution reinvestments in such other funds. For Federal income tax
purposes, the amount of the CDSC will reduce the gain or increase the loss, as
the case may be, on the amount realized on redemption.
17
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
The CDSC on Class A shares will be waived on (a) exchanges (see "Exchange
Privilege"); (b) redemptions of shares within 12 months following the death or
disability of the shareholder; (c) involuntary redemptions; and (d) redemptions
of shares to effect a combination of the Portfolio with any investment company
by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise. In addition, a shareholder who
has redeemed shares from other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds may,
under certain circumstances, reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds
within 60 days and receive pro rata credit for any CDSC imposed on the prior
redemption.
CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in the
case of shareholders who are also Smith Barney clients or by First Data in the
case of all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status or holdings, as the
case may be.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Except as otherwise noted below, shares of each Class may be exchanged for
shares of the same Class in the following funds of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds, to the extent shares are offered for sale in the shareholder's state of
residence. Exchanges of Class A shares are subject to minimum investment
requirements and all shares are subject to the other requirements of the fund
into which exchanges are made and a sales charge may apply.

<PAGE>
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE (CONTINUED)
Class A Exchanges. Class A shares of the Portfolio will be subject to the
appropriate sales charge upon the exchange of such shares for Class A shares of
another fund of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds sold with a sales charge. If no
sales charge was imposed upon the initial purchase of the shares, any shares
obtained through automatic reinvestment will be subject to a sales charge dif-
ferential upon exchange.
Class Y Exchanges. Class Y shareholders of the Portfolio who wish to exchange
all or a portion of their Class Y shares for Class Y shares in any of the funds
identified above may do so without imposition of any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can
be detrimental to the Portfolio's performance and its shareholders. The Manager
may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is excessive and contrary to
the best interests of the Portfolio's other shareholders. In this event the
Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional purchases and/or
exchanges by the shareholder. Upon such a determination, the Fund will provide
notice in writing or by telephone to the shareholder at least 15 days prior to
suspending the exchange privilege and during the 15-day period the shareholder
will be required to (a) redeem his or her shares in the Portfolio or (b) remain
invested in the Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds ordinarily available, which position the shareholder would be
expected to maintain for a significant period of time. All relevant factors
will be considered in determining what constitutes an abusive pattern of
exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See "Re-
demption of Shares--Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges will
be processed at the net asset value next determined plus any applicable sales
charge. Redemption procedures discussed above are also applicable for exchang-
ing shares, and exchanges will be made upon receipt of all supporting documents
in proper form. If the account registration of the shares of the fund being
acquired is identical to the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged,
no signature guarantee is required. A capital gain or loss for tax purposes
will be realized upon the exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of
shares redeemed. Before exchanging shares, investors should read the current
prospectus describing the shares to be acquired. The Portfolio reserves the
right to modify or discontinue exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice
to shareholders.
MINIMUM ACCOUNT SIZE
The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's
account if the aggregate net asset value of the shares held in the account is
less than $500.
20
<PAGE>
MINIMUM ACCOUNT SIZE (CONTINUED)
If a shareholder has more than one account in this Portfolio, each account
must satisfy the minimum account size. Before the Fund exercises such right,
shareholders will receive written notice and will be permitted 60 days to
bring the account up to the minimum to avoid involuntary liquidation.
YIELD INFORMATION
From time to time the Portfolio may advertise its yield, effective yield and
tax equivalent yield. These figures are computed separately for Class A and
Class Y shares of the Portfolio. These yield figures are based on historical
earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The yield of the
Portfolio refers to the net investment income generated by an investment in
the Portfolio over a specific seven-day period (which will be stated in the
advertisement). This net investment income is then annualized. The effective
yield is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an
investment in the Portfolio is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield
will be slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of
the assumed reinvestment. The tax equivalent yield also is calculated simi-
larly to the yield, except that a stated income tax rate is used to demon-
strate the taxable yield necessary to produce an after-tax yield equivalent to
the tax-exempt yield of the Portfolio.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
TRUSTEES
Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Portfolio rests
with the Fund's Trustees. The Trustees approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and the
Portfolio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manag-
er, custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Fund are
delegated to the Fund's investment manager. The Statement of Additional Infor-
mation contains background information regarding each Trustee and executive
officer of the Fund.
MANAGER
The Manager manages the day-to-day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to a
Management Agreement entered into on behalf of the Portfolio. SBMFM is a sub-
sidiary of Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), the parent company of
Smith Barney (the "Distributor"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Travelers, which is a financial services holding company engaged, through its
subsidiaries, principally in four business segments: Investment Services, Con-
sumer Finance Services, Life Insurance Services and Property & Casualty Insur-
ance Services.
21
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND (CONTINUED)
SBMFM, Holdings and Smith Barney are each located at 388 Greenwich Street, New
York, New York 10013. SBMFM renders investment advice to investment companies
that had aggregate assets under management as of May 31, 1997 of approximately
$87 billion.
SBMFM provides the Fund with investment management services, executive and
other personnel, pays the remuneration of Fund officers, provides the Fund with
office space and equipment, furnishes the Fund with bookkeeping, accounting,
administrative services and services relating to research, statistical work and
supervision of the Portfolio. For the services provided, the Portfolio pays
SBMFM a daily fee calculated at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Portfolio's
average net assets. For the last fiscal year the total expenses of the Portfo-
lio's Class A shares were 0.67% of average net assets. SBMFM has agreed to
waive its fee with respect to a Class to the extent that it is necessary if in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of such Class exclusive of 12b-1 fees,
taxes, brokerage, interest and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation
costs, exceed 0.70% of its average daily net assets for that fiscal year. The
0.70% expense limitation shall be in effect until it is terminated by notice to
shareholders and by supplement to the then-current prospectus. The term "Smith
Barney" in the title of the Fund has been adopted by permission of Smith Barney
and is subject to the right of Smith Barney to elect that the Fund stop using
the term in any form or combination of its name.
DISTRIBUTOR
Smith Barney distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter and
as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts" arrangement
requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as may be sold
to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the Portfolio
under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid an
annual service fee with respect to Class A shares of the Portfolio at the
annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The fee
is used by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing Class A
shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder remains a holder of the
Class. The service fee is also spent by Smith Barney on the following types of
expenses: (1) the pro rata share of other employment costs of such financial
consultants (e.g., FICA, employee benefits, etc.); (2) employment expenses of
home office personnel primarily responsible for providing service to Class A
shareholders and (3) the pro rata share of branch office fixed expenses (in-
cluding branch overhead allocations). Shareholder servicing expenses incurred
by Smith Barney but not reimbursed by Class A in any year will not be a contin-
uing liability of the Class in subsequent years.
Smith Barney also advises profit-sharing and pension accounts. Smith Barney
and its affiliates may in the future act as investment advisers for other
accounts.
22
<PAGE>
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Fund, an open-end, non-diversified management investment company, is
organized as a "Massachusetts business trust" pursuant to a Declaration of
Trust dated August 14, 1985. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees
have authorized the issuance of twenty series of shares, each representing
shares in one of twenty separate Portfolios. The assets of each Portfolio are
segregated and separately managed. Each share of a Portfolio represents an
equal proportionate interest in the net assets of that Portfolio with each
other share of the same Portfolio and is entitled to such dividends and distri-
butions out of the net income of that Portfolio as are declared in the discre-
tion of the Trustees. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held
and will vote by individual Portfolio except as otherwise permitted by the 1940
Act. It is the intention of the Fund not to hold annual meetings of sharehold-
ers. The Trustees may call meetings of shareholders for action by shareholder
vote as may be required by the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust, and share-
holders are entitled to call a meeting upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's out-
standing shares for purposes of voting on removal of a Trustee or Trustees. The
Fund will assist shareholders in calling such a meeting as required by the 1940
Act. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights and have
only such conversion or exchange rights as the Trustees may grant in their dis-
cretion. When issued for payment as described in this Prospectus, the Fund's
shares will be fully paid and transferrable (subject to the Portfolio's minimum
account size). Shares are redeemable as set forth under "Redemption of Shares"
and are subject to automatic liquidation as set forth under "Minimum Account
Size."
PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets, Phila-
delphia, PA 19103, serves as custodian of the Portfolio's investments.
First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves as
the Fund's transfer agent.
The Fund sends its shareholders a semi-annual report and an audited annual
report, which include listings of the investment securities held by the Portfo-
lio at the end of the period covered. In an effort to reduce the Fund's print-
ing and mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of its semi-
annual and annual reports by household. This consolidation means that a house-
hold having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will receive
a single copy of each report. Shareholders who do not want this consolidation
to apply to their account should contact their Smith Barney Financial Consul-
tant or the Fund's transfer agent.

as is consistent with prudent investing.
The Florida Portfolio seeks to pay its shareholders
as high a level of income exempt from Federal income taxes as is
consistent with prudent investing.

exempt from Federal income taxes and from New York State and New
York City personal income taxes as is consistent with prudent
investing.
The Ohio Portfolio seeks to pay its shareholders as high a
level of income exempt from both Federal income taxes and Ohio
personal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing.
The Pennsylvania Portfolio seeks to pay its shareholders as
high a level of income exempt from both Federal income taxes and

investing.
The California Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide
income exempt from Federal income taxes and from California

municipal obligations selected for liquidity and stability.
The New York Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide its
shareholders with income exempt from both Federal income taxes and
New York State and New York City personal income taxes from a
portfolio of high quality short-term New York municipal
obligations selected for liquidity and stability.
The National Portfolio, Florida Portfolio, Georgia
Portfolio, New York Portfolio, Ohio Portfolio and Pennsylvania
Portfolio each offer four classes ("Classes") of shares: Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class Y. The Limited Term Portfolio
offers three classes of shares: Class A, Class C and Class Y.
Class A shares are sold to investors with an initial sales charge
and Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales
charge but with higher ongoing expenses and a Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge ("CDSC") payable upon certain redemptions. Class Y
shares are sold without an initial sales charge and are available
only to investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000. The
California Money Market Portfolio and the New York Money Market
Portfolio each offer two classes of shares: Class A and Class Y.
Class A shares of each of the California Money Market and New York
Money Market Portfolios are sold without an initial sales charge.
These alternatives are designed to provide investors with the
flexibility of selecting an investment best suited to his or her
needs based on the amount of purchase, the length of time the
investor expects to hold the shares and other circumstances.
This Statement of Additional Information is not a
prospectus. It is intended to provide more detailed information
about the Fund as well as matters already discussed in each

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING INVESTMENT POLICIES
In general, municipal obligations are debt obligations
(bonds or notes) issued by or on behalf of states, territories and
possessions of the United States and their political subdivisions,
agencies and instrumentalities the interest on which is exempt
from Federal income tax in the opinion of bond counsel to the
issuer. Municipal obligations are issued to obtain funds for
various public purposes that enhance the quality of life,
including the construction of a wide range of public facilities,
such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass
transportation, schools, streets, water and sewer works and gas
and electric utilities. They may also be issued to refund
outstanding obligations, to obtain funds for general operating
expenses, or to obtain funds to loan to other public institutions
and facilities and in anticipation of the receipt of revenue or
the issuance of other obligations. In addition, the term
"municipal obligations" includes certain types of industrial
development bonds ("IDBs") issued by public authorities to obtain
funds to provide various privately-operated facilities for
business and manufacturing, housing, sports, convention or trade
show facilities, airport, mass transit, port and parking
facilities, air or water pollution control facilities, and certain
facilities for water supply, gas, electricity or sewerage or solid
waste disposal.
The two principal classifications of municipal obligations
are "general obligation" and "revenue." General obligations are
secured by a municipal issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit,
and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest.
Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues derived
from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some
cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other
specific revenue source. Although IDBs are issued by municipal
authorities, they are generally secured by the revenues derived
from payments of the industrial user. The payment of the
principal and interest on IDBs is dependent solely on the ability
of the user of the facilities financed by the bonds to meet its
financial obligations and the pledge, if any, of real and personal
property so financed as security for such payment. Currently, the
majority of each Portfolio's municipal obligations are revenue
bonds.
For purposes of diversification and concentration under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), the
identification of the issuer of municipal obligations depends on
the terms and conditions of the obligation. If the assets and
revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other
political subdivision are separate from those of the government
creating the subdivision and the obligation is backed only by the
assets and revenues of the subdivision, such subdivision is
regarded as the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of an IDB or
a pollution control revenue bond, if the bond is backed only by
the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, the non-
governmental user is regarded as the sole issuer. If in either
case the creating government or another entity guarantees an
obligation, the guaranty is regarded as a separate security and
treated as an issue of such guarantor.
Among the types of short-term instruments in which each
Portfolio may invest are floating- or variable-rate demand
instruments, tax-exempt commercial paper (generally having a
maturity of less than nine months), and other types of notes
generally having maturities of less than three years, such as Tax
Anticipation Notes, Revenue Anticipation Notes, Tax and Revenue
Anticipation Notes and Bond Anticipation Notes. Demand
instruments usually have an indicated maturity of more than one
year, but contain a demand feature that enables the holder to
redeem the investment on no more than 30 days' notice; variable-
rate demand instruments provide for automatic establishment of a
new interest rate on set dates; floating-rate demand instruments
provide for automatic adjustment of their interest rates whenever
some other specified interest rate changes (e.g., the prime rate).
Each Portfolio may purchase participation interest in variable-
rate tax-exempt securities (such as Industrial Development Bonds)
owned by banks. Participations are frequently backed by an
irrevocable letter of credit or guarantee of a bank that the
Manager has determined meets the prescribed quality standards for
the Portfolio. Participation interests will be purchased only, if
management believes interest income on such interests will be tax-
exempt when distributed as dividends to shareholders.
Investments in participation interests in variable-rate tax-
exempt securities (such as IDBs) purchased from banks give the
purchaser an undivided interest in the tax-exempt security in the
proportion that the Portfolio participation interest bears to the
total principal amount of the tax-exempt security with a demand
repurchase feature. Participation interest are frequently backed
by an irrevocable letter of credit or guarantee of a bank that the
Manager, under the supervision of the Trustees, has determined
meets the prescribed quality standards for the Portfolio . A
Portfolio has the right to sell the instrument back to the bank
and draw on the letter of credit on demand on seven days' notice
or less, for all or any part of the Portfolio's participation
interest in the tax-exempt security, plus accrued interest. Each
Portfolio intends to exercise the demand under the letter of
credit only (1) upon a default under the terms of the documents of
the tax-exempt security, (2) as needed to provide liquidity in
order to meet redemptions, or (3) to maintain a high quality
investment portfolio. Banks will retain a service and letter of
credit fee and a fee for issuing repurchase commitments in an
amount equal to the excess of the interest paid on the tax-exempt
securities over the negotiated yield at which the instruments were
purchased by a Portfolio. The Manager will monitor the pricing,
quality and liquidity of the variable-rate demand instruments held
by each Portfolio, including the IDBs supported by bank letters of
credit or guarantees, on the basis of published financial
information, reports of rating agencies and other bank analytical
services to which the Manager may subscribe.
The yields on municipal obligations are dependent on a
variety of factors, including general market conditions, supply
and demand, general conditions of the municipal market, size of a
particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating
of the issue. The rating of Moody's Investment Service, Inc. and
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group represent their opinion as to the
quality to the municipal obligations that they undertake to rate.
It should be emphasized, however, that such ratings are general
and are not absolute standards of quality. Consequently,
municipal obligations with the same maturity, coupon and rating
may have different yields when purchased in the open market, while
municipal obligations of the same maturity and coupon with
different ratings may have the same yield.
Municipal obligations purchased on a when-issued basis as
well as the securities held in each Portfolio are generally
subject to similar changes in market value based upon the public's
perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes in
the level of interest rates (i.e., both experiencing appreciation
when interest rates decline and depreciation when interest rates
rise). Therefore, to the extent a Portfolio remains substantially
fully invested at the same time that it has purchased securities
on a when-issued basis, there will be a greater possibility that
the market value of a Portfolio's assets will fluctuate.
Purchasing a tax-exempt security on a when-issued basis involves
the risk that the yields available in the market when the delivery
takes place may be higher than those obtained on the security so
purchased. A separate account of each Portfolio consisting of
cash or debt securities of any grade equal to the
amount of the when-issued commitments will be established with PNC
Bank, National Association (the "Custodian") and marked-to-market
daily pursuant to guidelines established by the Trustees, with
additional cash or debt securities added when necessary. When the
time comes to pay for when-issued securities, the Portfolios will
meet their respective obligations from then-available cash flow,
sale of securities held in the separate account, sale of other
securities or, although they would not normally expect to do so,
from the sale of the when-issued securities themselves (which may
have a value greater or lesser than the Portfolios' payment
obligations). Sale of securities to meet such obligations carries
with it a greater potential for the realization of capital gain,
which is not exempt from Federal income tax (see "Dividends,
Distributions and Taxes" in the Prospectus).
Portfolios may invest in municipal bond index futures
contracts or in listed contracts based on U.S. government
securities. Such investments will be made solely for the purpose
of hedging against changes in the value of portfolio securities
due to anticipated changes in interest rates and market conditions
and not for purposes of speculation. The acquisition or sale of a
futures contract could enable the Fund to protect a Portfolio's
assets from fluctuations in rates on tax-exempt securities without
actually buying or selling securities. The municipal bond index
futures contract is based on an index of long-term, tax-exempt
municipal bonds. The contract obligates the buyer or seller to
take or make delivery, respectively, of an amount of cash equal to
the difference between the value of the index upon liquidation of
the contract and the price at which the index contract was
originally purchased or sold. In connection with the use of
futures contracts as a hedging device, there can be no assurance
that there will be a precise or even a positive correlation
between price movement in the futures contracts with that of the
municipal bonds that are the subject of the hedge, consequently, a
Portfolio may realize a profit on a futures contract that is less
than the loss in the price of the municipal bonds being hedged or
may even incur a loss. A Portfolio also may not be able to close
a futures position in the event of adverse price movements or in
the event an active market does not exist for the hedging contract
on the exchange or board of trade on which the contract is traded.
The successful use of these investments is dependent on the
ability of the Manager to predict price or interest rate movements
or the correlation of futures and cash markets, or both.
Each Portfolio may invest in securities the disposition of
which is subject to legal or contractual restrictions. The sale
of restricted securities often requires more time and results in
higher dealer discounts or other selling expenses than does the
sale of securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale.
Restricted securities often sell at a price lower than similar
securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale.
Securities may be sold in anticipation of a market decline
(a rise in interest rates) or purchased in anticipation of a
market rise (a decline in interest rates). In addition, a
security may be sold and another purchased at approximately the
same time to take advantage of what the Manager believes to be a
temporary disparity in the normal yield relationship between the
two securities. The Fund believes that, in general, the secondary
market for tax-exempt securities in each of the Fund's Portfolios
may be less liquid than that for taxable fixed-income securities.
Accordingly, the ability of a Portfolio to make purchases and
sales of securities in the foregoing manner may be limited. Yield
disparities may occur for reasons not directly related to the
investment quality of particular issues or the general movement of
interest rates, but instead due to such factors as changes in the
overall demand for or supply of various types of tax-exempt
securities or changes in the investment objectives of investors.
Portfolio turnover rate for a fiscal year is the ratio of
the lesser of purchases or sales (including maturities and calls)
of portfolio securities to the monthly average of the value of
portfolio securities including long-term U.S. government
securities but excluding securities with maturities at acquisition
of one year or less. The Fund effects portfolio transactions with
a view towards attaining the investment objective of each
Portfolio and is not limited to a predetermined rate of portfolio
turnover. A high portfolio turnover results in correspondingly
greater transaction costs. The Fund anticipates that each
Portfolio's annual turnover rate generally will not exceed 100%.
Though not obligated to do so, the Fund will normally
provide upon request a listing of portfolio holdings as of a
recent date.
ADDITIONAL TAX INFORMATION
Capital gain distributions, if any, are taxable to
shareholders, and are declared and paid at least annually. On
March 31, 1997, the unused capital loss carryovers of the
Fund by Portfolio were approximately as follows: National
Portfolio, $1,485,000; New York Portfolio, $6,386,000; Florida
Portfolio, $192,000; Limited Term Portfolio, $5,452,000;
California Money Market Portfolio, $187,000; New York Money Market
Portfolio $262,000 and the Pennsylvania Portfolio, $9,700.
For Federal income tax purposes theses amounts are available to be
applied against future securities gains, if any, realized. The
carryovers expire as follows:

Generally, interest on municipal obligations is exempt from
Federal income tax. However, interest on municipal obligations
that are considered to be IDBs (as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), will not be exempt from
Federal income tax to any shareholder who is considered to be a
"substantial user" of any facility financed by the proceeds of
such obligations (or a "related person" to such "substantial user"
as defined in the Code).
In addition, interest on municipal obligations may subject
certain investors' Social Security benefits to Federal income
taxation. Section 86 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that
the amount of Social Security benefits subject to inclusion in
gross income for a taxable year is the lesser of (a) one-half of
the Social Security benefits or (b) one-half of the amount by
which the sum of "modified adjusted gross income" plus one-half of
the Social Security benefits exceeds a "base amount." The base
amount is $25,000 for unmarried taxpayers, $32,000 for married
taxpayers filling a joint return and zero for married taxpayers
not living apart who file separate returns. Modified adjusted
gross income is adjusted gross income determined without regard to
certain otherwise allowable deductions and exclusions from gross
income, plus tax-exempt interest on municipal obligations. To the
extent that Social Security benefits are included in gross income
they will be treated as any other item of gross income and
therefore may be taxable. Tax-exempt interest is included in
modified adjusted gross income solely for the purpose of
determining what portion, if any, of Social Security benefits will
be included in gross income; no tax-exempt interest, including
that received from the Fund, will be subject to Federal income tax
for most investors.
Additionally, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Tax Reform
Act") provides that interest on certain municipal obligations
(i.e. certain private activity bonds) issued after August 7, 1986
will be treated as a preference item for purposes of both the
corporate and individual alternative minimum tax. Under Treasury
regulations, that portion of the Portfolio's exempt-interest
dividend which is to be treated as a preference item for
shareholders will be based on the proportionate share of the
interest received by the Portfolio from the specified private
activity bonds. In addition, the Tax Reform Act provides
generally that tax preference items for corporations for 1987-1989
will include one-half the amount by which adjusted net book income
(which would include tax-exempt interest) of the taxpayer exceeds
the alternative minimum taxable income of the taxpayer before any
amount is added to alternative minimum taxable income because of
this preference.
A similar provision based on adjusted earnings and profits
would apply after 1989. Investors should consult their tax
advisers before investing in shares of the Fund.
From time to time, proceedings have been introduced before
Congress for the purpose of restricting or eliminating the Federal
income tax exemption for interest on municipal obligations. It
may be expected that similar proposals may be introduced in the
future. If such proposals were to be enacted, the ability of the
Fund to pay "exempt interest" dividends could be adversely
affected and the Fund would then need to reevaluate its investment
objectives and policies and consider changes in its structure.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Fund has adopted the following restrictions as
fundamental policies that cannot be changed without approval by
the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
each Portfolio affected by the matters as defined in the 1940 Act
(see "Voting Rights").
Without the approval of a majority of their outstanding
voting securities, the National Portfolio and the New York
Portfolio each may not:
(1) borrow money, except from banks for temporary purposes
(such as facilitating redemptions or for extraordinary or
emergency purposes) in an amount not to exceed 10% of the value of
its total assets at the time the borrowing is made (not including
the amount borrowed) and no investment will be made while
borrowing exceeds 5% of total assets; (2) mortgage or pledge any
of its assets, except to secure borrowings permitted under (1)
above; (3) invest more than 25% of total assets taken at market
value in any one industry, except that municipal obligations and
securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities and municipal obligations of New York State with
respect to the New York Portfolio are not considered an industry
for purposes of this limitation; (4) the National Portfolio may
not with respect to 75% of the value of its total assets, purchase
securities of any issuer if immediately thereafter more than 5% of
total assets at market value would be invested in the securities
of any issuer (except that this limitation does not apply to
obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest
either by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities
or by New York State or its political subdivisions with respect to
the New York Portfolio); (5) invest in securities issued by other
investment companies, except as permitted by Section 12(d)(1) of
the 1940 Act or to effect a merger, consolidation, acquisition or
reorganization; (6) purchase or hold any real estate, except that
a Portfolio may invest in securities secured by real estate or
interest therein or issued by persons (other than real estate
investment trusts) who deal in real estate or interests therein;
(7) purchase or hold the securities of any issuer, if to its
knowledge, Trustees or officers of the Fund individually owning
beneficially more than 0.5% of the securities of that issuer own
in the aggregate more than 5% of such securities; (8) write or
purchase put, call, straddle or spread options; purchase
securities on margin or sell "short"; (9) underwrite the
securities of other issuers; (10) purchase or sell commodities and
commodity contracts, except that each Portfolio may invest in or
sell municipal bond index future contracts; provided that
immediately thereafter not more than 33 1/3% of its net assets
would be hedged or the amount of margin deposits on the
Portfolio's existing futures contracts would not exceed 5% of the
value of its total assets; or (11) make loans, except to the
extent the purchase of bonds or other evidences of indebtedness or
the entry into repurchase agreements or deposits with banks,
including the Fund's Custodian, may be considered loans (and the
Fund has no present intention of entering into repurchase
agreements).
Without the approval of a majority of its outstanding voting
securities, the Limited Term Portfolio, the Florida Portfolio, the
Georgia Portfolio, the Pennsylvania Portfolio and the Ohio
Portfolio each may not:
(1) borrow money, except from banks for temporary purposes
(such as facilitating redemptions or for extraordinary or
emergency purposes) in an amount not to exceed 10% of the value of
its total assets at the time the borrowing is made (not including
the amount borrowed) and no investments will be made while
borrowing exceeds 5% of total assets; (2) mortgage or pledge any
of its assets, except to secure borrowings permitted under (1)
above; (3) invest more than 25% of total assets taken at market
value in any one industry; except that municipal obligations and
securities of the U.S. government, its agencies and
instrumentalities and municipal obligations of Georgia with
respect to the Georgia Portfolio, municipal obligations of
Pennsylvania with respect to the Pennsylvania Portfolio and
municipal obligations of Florida with respect to the Florida
Portfolio are not considered an industry for purposes of this
limitation; (4) purchase or hold any real estate, except that the
Portfolio may invest in securities secured by real estate or
interests therein or issued by persons (other than real estate
investment trusts) which deal in real estate or interests therein;
(5) write or purchase put, call, straddle or spread options;
purchase securities on margin or sell "short"; (6) underwrite the
securities of other issuers: (7) purchase or sell commodities and
commodity contracts, except that the Portfolio may invest in or
sell municipal bond index futures contracts, provided that
immediately thereafter not more than 33 1/3% of its net assets
would be hedged or the amount of margin deposits on the
Portfolio's existing futures contracts would not exceed 5% of the
value of its total assets; or (8) make loans, except to the extent
the purchase of bonds or other evidences of indebtedness or the
entry into repurchase agreements or deposits with banks, including
the Funds' Custodian, may be considered loans.
Without the approval of a majority of its outstanding voting
securities, the California Money Market Portfolio and the New York
Money Market Portfolio each may not:
(1) borrow money, except from banks for temporary purposes
(such as facilitating redemptions or for extraordinary or
emergency purposes) in an amount not to exceed 10% of the value of
its total assets at the time the borrowing is made (not including
the amount borrowed) and no investments will be made while
borrowings exceed 5% of total assets; (2) mortgage or pledge any
of its assets, except to secure borrowings permitted under (1)
above; (3) invest more than 25% of total assets taken at market
value in any one industry; except that municipal obligations and
securities of the U.S. government, its agencies and
instrumentalities and municipal obligations of California with
respect to the California Money Market Portfolio and municipal
obligations of New York with respect to the New York Money Market
Portfolio are not considered an industry for purposes of this
limitation; (4) purchase or hold any real estate, except that the
Portfolio may invest in securities secured by real estate or
interests therein or issued by persons (other than real estate
investment trusts) which deal in real estate or interests therein;
(5) write or purchase put, call, straddle or spread options;
purchase securities on margin or sell "short"; (6) Underwrite the
securities of other issuers; (7) Purchase or sell commodities
and commodity contracts; or (8) Make loans, except to the extent
the purchase of bonds or other evidences of indebtedness or the
entry into repurchase agreements or deposits with banks, including
the Fund's Custodian, may be considered loans.
In order to comply with certain state statutes and policies,
none of the Portfolios will, as a matter of operating policy:
(1) purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases, rights or
royalty contracts or exploration or development programs, except
that each Portfolio may invest in the securities of issuers which
operate, invest in, or sponsor such programs; (2) invest more than
5% of their assets in unseasoned issuers, including their
predecessors, which have been in operation for less than three
years.
The foregoing percentage restrictions apply at the time an
investment is made; a subsequent increase or decrease in
percentage may result from changes in values or net assets.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time, in advertisements and other types of
sales literature, each Portfolio may compare its performance to
that of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives, to
appropriate indices or rankings such as those compiled by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. or to other financial alternatives.
Each Portfolio, other than the California Money Market
Portfolio and the New York Money Market Portfolio, computes the
average annual total return during specified periods that would
equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value
of such investment by adding one to the computed average annual
total return, raising the sum to a power equal to the number of
years covered by the computation and multiplying the result by one
thousand dollars which represents the hypothetical initial
investment. The calculation assumes deduction of the maximum
sales charge from the initial amount invested and reinvestment of
all income dividends and capital gains distributions on the
reinvestment dates at prices calculated as stated in the
Prospectus. The ending redeemable value is determined by assuming
a complete redemption at the end of the period(s) covered by the
average annual total return computation. Such standard total
return information may also be accompanied with nonstandard total
return information for differing periods computed in the same
manner but without annualizing the total return or taking sales
charges into account.
Each Portfolio's average annual total return with respect to
its Class A shares for the one-year period, five- and ten-year
periods, if any, and for the life of the Portfolio ended March
31, 1997 is as follows:

Each Portfolio's yield, other than for the California Money
Market Portfolio and the New York Money Market Portfolio, is
computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned
during a specified 30-day period ending at month end by the
maximum offering price per share on the last day of such period
and analyzing the result. For purposes of yield calculation,
interest income is determined based on a yield to maturity
percentage for each long-term debt obligation in the Portfolio;
income or short-term obligations are based on current payment
rate. Yield information may be accompanied with information on
tax equivalent yield computed in the same manner, with adjustment
for assumed Federal income tax rates. No taxable instruments are
presently held by the Fund.
Each Portfolio's distribution rate, other than those of the
California Money Market Portfolio and the New York Money Market
Portfolio, is calculated by analyzing the latest income
distribution and dividing the result by the maximum offering price
per share as of the end of the period to which the distribution
relates. The distribution rate is not computed in the same manner
as, and therefore can be significantly different from, the above-
described yield which will be computed in accordance with
applicable regulations. A Portfolio may quote its distribution
rate together with the above-described standard total return and
yield information in its supplemental sales literature. The use
of such distribution rates would be subject to an appropriate
explanation of, among other matters, how the components of the
distribution rate differ from the above described yield.

its Class A shares for the seven-day period ended March 31, 1997
was 2.75% (the effective yield was 2.79%) with an average dollar-
weighted portfolio maturity of 37 days; the New York Money Market
Portfolio's yield with respect to its Class A shares for the
seven-day period ended March 31, 1997 was 2.80% (the effective
yield was 2.85%) with an average dollar-weighted portfolio
maturity of 46 days. From time to time the California Money
Market Portfolio and, the New York Money Market Portfolio may
advertise their yields, effective yields and tax equivalent
yields. These yield figures are based on historical earnings and
are not intended to indicate future performance. The yield of
each Portfolio refers to the net investment income generated by an
investment in each Portfolio over a specific seven-day period
(which will be stated in the advertisement). This net investment
income is then annualized. The effective yield is calculated
similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment
in each Portfolio is assumed to be reinvested. The effective
yield will be slightly higher than the yield because of the
compounding effect of the assumed reinvestment. The tax
equivalent yield also is calculated similarly to the yield, except
that a stated income tax rate is used to demonstrate the taxable
yield necessary to produce an after-tax yield equivalent to the
tax-exempt yield of each Portfolio.
Performance information may be useful in evaluating a
Portfolio and for providing a basis for comparison with other
financial alternatives. Since the performance of each Portfolio
changes in response to fluctuations in market conditions, interest
rates and Portfolio expenses, no performance quotation should be
considered a representation as to the Portfolio's performance for
any future period.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The Prospectus states that the net asset value of each
Portfolio's Classes of shares will be determined on any date that
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. The NYSE is closed
on the following holidays: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day and Christmas Day.
The California Money Market Portfolio and the New York Money
Market Portfolio use the "amortized cost method" for valuing
portfolio securities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act (the
"Rule"). The amortized cost method of valuation of a Portfolio's
securities (including any securities held in the separate account
maintained for when-issued securities -- See "Investment Objective
and Management Policies" and "Portfolio Management" in the
Prospectus) involves valuing a security at its cost at the time of
purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to
maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of
fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument.
The market value of each Portfolio's securities will fluctuate on
the basis of the creditworthiness of the issuers of such
securities and with changes in interest rates generally. While
the amortized cost method provides certainty in valuation, it may
result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized
cost, is higher or lower than the price each Portfolio would
receive if it sold the instrument. During such periods the yield
to investors in each Portfolio may differ somewhat from that
obtained in a similar company that uses mark-to-market values for
all its portfolio securities. For example, if the use of
amortized cost resulted in a lower (higher) aggregate portfolio
value on a particular day, a prospective investor in each
Portfolio would be able to obtain a somewhat higher (lower) yield
than would result from investment in such similar company, and
existing investors would receive less (more) investment income.
The purpose of this method of valuation is to attempt to maintain
a constant net asset value per share, and it is expected that the
price of each Portfolio's shares will remain at $1.00; however,
shareholders should be aware that despite procedures that will be
followed to have a stable price, including maintaining a maximum
dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days, investing
in securities that have or are deemed to have remaining maturities
of only 13 months or less and investing in only United States
dollar-denominated instruments determined by the Fund's Trustees
to be of high quality with minimal credit risks and which are
Eligible Securities (as defined below), there is no assurance that
at some future date there will not be a rapid change in prevailing
interest rates, a default by an issuer or some other event that
could cause each Portfolio's price per share to change from $1.00.
An Eligible Security is defined in the Rule to mean a
security which: (a) has a remaining maturity of 397 days or less;
(b)(i) is rated in the two highest short-term rating categories by
any two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
("NRSROs") that have issued a short-term rating with respect to
the security or class of debt obligations of the issuer, or (ii)
if only one NRSRO has issued a short-term rating with respect to
the security, then by that NRSRO; (c) was a long-term security at
the time of issuance whose issuer has outstanding a short-term
debt obligation which is comparable in priority and security and
has a rating as specified in clause (b) above; or (d) if no rating
is assigned by any NRSRO as provided in clauses (b) and (c) above,
the unrated security is determined by the Trustees to be of
comparable quality to any such rated security.
THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The Management Agreement for the National Portfolio,
the Georgia Portfolio, the Ohio Portfolio and Pennsylvania
Portfolio provides for a daily management fee at the annual rate
of 0.45% of the Portfolio's average net assets. The Management
Agreement for the Limited Term, the Florida Portfolio and the New
York Portfolio is 0.50% of the Portfolio's average net assets.
At a Meeting of Shareholders of the Limited Term Portfolio,
the Florida Portfolio and the New York Portfolio held on December
15, 1995, the shareholders of each of these Portfolios approved a
new Management Agreement that increases the effective management
fee paid by Smith Barney Muni Funds on behalf of each of these
Portfolios from 0.45% to 0.50% of each of these Portfolios'
average daily net assets.
The Management Agreements for the California Money Market
Portfolio and the New York Money Market Portfolio provide for the
payment of an effective management fee at an annual rate based on
each Money Market Portfolio's average daily net assets in
accordance with the following schedule:
0.50% on the first $2.5 billion of net assets;
0.475% on the next $2.5 billion; and
0.45% on net assets in excess of $5 billion.
Based on the current asset levels of each Money Market
Portfolio, the effective management fee is 0.50%.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997,
the management fee for each Portfolio was as follows:

net assets for the period from April 1, 1994 through March 31,
1995 and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.
(b) The Manager waived its management fee in excess of 0.36% of
the New York Money Market Portfolio's average daily net assets
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994

the Georgia Portfolio's average daily net assets for the period
from April 4, 1994 through March 31, 1996 and its management
fee in excess of 0.33% of the Portfolio's average daily net
assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
(d) The Manager waived its entire management fee with respect to
the Ohio Portfolio's average daily net assets for the period
from June 14, 1994 through March 31, 1997.
(e) The Manager waived its entire management fee with respect to
the Pennsylvania Portfolio's average daily net assets for the
period from April 4, 1994 through March 31, 1997.
The Management Agreements further provide that all other
expenses not specifically assumed by the Manager under the
Management Agreement on behalf of each Portfolio are borne by the
Fund. Expenses payable by the Fund include, but are not limited
to, all charges of custodians (including sums as custodian and
sums for keeping books and for rendering other services to the
Fund) and shareholder servicing agents, expenses of preparing,
printing and distributing all prospectuses, proxy material,
reports and notices to shareholders, all expenses of shareholders'
and Trustees' meetings, filing fees and expenses relating to the
registration and qualification of the Fund's shares and the Fund
under Federal or state securities laws and maintaining such
registrations and qualifications (including the printing of the
Fund's registration statements), fees of auditors and legal
counsel, costs of performing portfolio valuations, out-of-pocket
expenses of Trustees and fees of Trustees who are not "interested
persons" as defined in the 1940 Act, interest, taxes and
governmental fees, fees and commissions of every kind, expenses of
issue, repurchase or redemption of shares, insurance expense,
association membership dues, all other costs incident to the
Fund's existence and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and
indemnification expenses. Direct expenses of each Portfolio of
the Fund, including but not limited to the management fee, are
charged to that Portfolio, and general trust expenses are
allocated among the Portfolios on the basis of relative net
assets. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive its fee with
respect to each Portfolio to the extent it is necessary if in any
fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio, exclusive of
taxes, brokerage, interest, payments of distribution fees and
extraordinary expenses such as litigation costs, exceed the most
restrictive expense limitation imposed by any state in which a
Portfolio sells shares, if any.
DISTRIBUTOR
The Fund, on behalf of each Portfolio, has adopted a plan of
distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan") under the 1940
Act under which a service fee is paid by each class of shares
(other than Class Y shares ) of each Portfolio to Smith Barney in
connection with shareholder service expenses. The service fee is
equal to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of each class (the
service fee payable by the Class A shares of the Money Market
Portfolios is 0.10%). With respect to Class B and Class C shares
of each Portfolio, Smith Barney is also paid a distribution fee,
pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by each Portfolio. See
"Distributor" in each applicable Prospectus.
For the year ended March 31, 1997 , the table below
represents the fees which have been accrued and/or paid to Smith
Barney under the plans of distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 for
the Fund's Portfolios. The distribution expenses for 1997
included compensation of Smith Barney Financial Consultants and
printing costs of prospectuses and marketing materials.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York
10154, has been selected as independent auditors to examine and
report on the Fund's financial statements for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 1998 .
THE FUND
The interest of a shareholder is in the assets and earnings
of the Portfolio in which he or she holds shares. The Trustees
have authorized the issuance of 20 series of shares, each
representing shares in one of 20 separate Portfolios. Pursuant to
such authority, the Trustees may also authorize the creation of
additional series of shares and additional classes of shares
within any series. The investment objectives, policies and
restrictions applicable to additional Portfolios would be
established by the Trustees at the time such Portfolios were
established and may differ from those set forth in the
Prospectuses and this Statement of Additional Information. In the
event of liquidation or dissolution of a Portfolio or of the Fund,
shares of a Portfolio are entitled to receive the assets belonging
to that Portfolio and a proportionate distribution, based on the
relative net assets of the respective Portfolios, of any general
assets not belonging to any particular Portfolio that are
available for distribution.
The Declaration of Trust may be amended only by a "majority
shareholder vote" as defined therein, except for certain
amendments that may be made by the Trustees. The Declaration of
Trust and the By-Laws of the Fund are designed to make the Fund
similar in most respects to a Massachusetts business corporation.
The principal distinction between the two forms of business
organization relates to shareholder liability described below.
Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a business trust may,
under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners
for the obligations of the trust, which is not the case with a
corporation. The Declaration of Trust of the Fund provides that
shareholders shall not be subject to any personal liability for
the acts or obligations of the Fund and that every written
obligation, contract, instrument or undertaking made by the Fund
shall contain a provision to the effect that the shareholders are
not personally liable thereunder.
Special counsel for the Fund is of the opinion that no
personal liability will attach to the shareholders under any
undertaking containing such provision when adequate notice of such
provision is given, except possibly in a few jurisdictions. With
respect to (a) all types of claims in the latter jurisdictions;
(b) tort claims; (c) contract claims where the provision referred
to is omitted from the undertaking; (c) claims for taxes; and (d)
certain statutory liabilities in other jurisdictions, a
shareholder may be held personally liable to the extent that
claims are not satisfied by the Fund; however, upon payment of any
such liability the shareholder will be entitled to reimbursement
from the general assets of the Fund. The Trustees intend to
conduct the operations of the Fund, with the advice of counsel, in
such a way so as to avoid, as far as possible, ultimate liability
of the shareholders for liabilities of the Fund.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that no Trustee,
officer or employee of the Fund is liable to the Fund or to a
shareholder, except as such liability may arise from his or her or
its own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of his or its duties, nor is any Trustee,
officer or employee personally liable to any third persons in
connection with the affairs of the Fund. It also provides that
all third persons shall look solely to the Fund property or the
property of the appropriate Portfolio of the Fund for satisfaction
of claims arising in connection with the affairs of the Fund or a
particular Portfolio, respectively. With the exceptions stated,
the Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee, officer or
employee is entitled to be indemnified against all liability in
connection with the affairs of the Fund.
Other distinctions between a corporation and a Massachusetts
business trust include the fact that business trusts are not
required to issue share certificates or hold annual meetings of
shareholders.
The Fund shall continue without limitation of time subject
to the provisions in the Declaration of Trust concerning
termination of the Trust or any of the series of the Trust by
action of the shareholders or by action of the Trustees upon
notice to the shareholders.
VOTING RIGHTS
The Trustees themselves have the power to alter the number
and the terms of office of the Trustees, and they may at any time
lengthen their own terms or make their terms of unlimited duration
(subject to certain removal procedures) and appoint their own
successors, provided that in accordance with the 1940 Act at any
time at least a majority, but in most instances at least two-
thirds, of the Trustees have been elected by the shareholders of
the Fund. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights and
therefore the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares
of the Fund may elect all of the Trustees irrespective of the
votes of other shareholders. Class A, Class B, Class C and Class
Y shares of a Portfolio of the Fund, if any, represent interests
in the assets of that Portfolio and have identical voting,
dividend, liquidation and other rights on the same terms and
conditions, except that each Class of shares has exclusive voting
rights with respect to provisions of the Fund's Rule 12b-1
distribution plan which pertain to a particular class. For
example, a change in investment policy for a Portfolio would be
voted upon only by shareholders of the Portfolio involved.
Additionally, approval of each Portfolio's Management Agreement is
a matter to be determined separately by that Portfolio. Approval
of a proposal by the shareholders of one Portfolio is effective as
to that Portfolio whether or not enough votes are received from
the shareholders of the other Portfolios to approve the proposal
as to those Portfolios. As of July 1, 1997 , the following

APPENDIX A
RATINGS OF MUNICIPAL BONDS, NOTES AND COMMERCIAL PAPER
Description of Four Highest Municipal Bond Ratings
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"):
Aaa - Bonds that are 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 that are 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 that are 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 that are rated Baa are considered 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.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"):
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P.
Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and
repay principal and differs from the higher-rated issues only in
small degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
debt in higher-rated categories.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having adequate capacity to
pay interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits
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 debt in this
category than in higher-rated categories.
Description of State and Local Government Municipal Note Ratings
Notes are assigned distinct rating symbols in recognition of the
differences between short-term and long-term credit risk. Factors
affecting the liquidity of the borrower and short-term cyclical
elements are critical in short-term ratings, while other factors
of major importance in bond risk-- long-term secular trends for
example-- may be less important over the short run.
Moody's Investors Service, Inc.:
Moody's ratings for state and municipal notes and other short-term
loans are designated Moody's Investment Grade ("MIG"). A short-
term rating may also be assigned on an issue having a demand
feature, a variable-rate demand obligation. Such ratings will be
designated as "VMIG." Short-term ratings on issues with demand
features are differentiated by the use of the VMIG symbol to
reflect such characteristics as payment upon periodic demand
rather than fixed maturity dates and payment relying on external
liquidity. Additionally, investors should be alert to the fact
that the source of payment may be limited to the external
liquidity with no or limited legal recourse to the issuer in the
event the demand is not met. Symbols used are as follows:
MIG/VMIG 1 - Loans bearing this designation are of the best
quality, enjoying strong protection from established cash flows of
funds, superior liquidity support or demonstrated broad-based
access to the market for refinancing.
MIG 2/VMIG 2 - Loans bearing this designation are of high quality,
with margins of protection ample although not so large as in the
preceding group.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group:
SP-1 - Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal interest.
Those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety
characteristics will be given a plus (+) designation.
SP-2 - Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.
Description of Highest Commercial Paper Ratings
Moody's Investors Service, Inc.:
Prime-1 - Issuers (or related supporting institutions) rated
Prime-1 have a superior capacity for repayment of short-term
promissory obligations. Prime-1 repayment capacity will normally
be evidenced by the following characteristics: leading market
positions in well-established industries; high rates of return on
funds employed; conservative capitalization structures with
moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection; broad
margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges and high
internal cash generation; and well-established access to a range
of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group:
A-1 - This designation indicates 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 designation.
APPENDIX B
The following information is a summary of special factors
affecting California municipal obligations. It does not purport
to be a complete description and is based on information from
statements relating to securities offerings of California issuers.
Additional Discussion of Special Factors Relating to California
Municipal Obligations
Beginning in the 1990-91 fiscal year, California faced the worst
economic, fiscal and budgetary conditions since the 1930s.
Construction, manufacturing (especially aerospace), exports and
financial services, among others, were severely affected. Job
losses were the worst of any post-war recession and have been
estimated to exceed 800,000.
The recession seriously affected State tax revenues and
caused increased expenditures for health and welfare programs.
The State has also faced a structural imbalance in its budget with
the largest programs supported by the General Fund--K-12 schools
and community colleges, health, welfare and corrections--growing
at rates higher than the growth rates for the principal revenue
sources of the General Fund (the General Fund, the State's main
operating fund, consists of revenues which are not required to be
credited to any other fund). The State experienced recurring
budget deficits. The State Controller reported that expenditures
exceeded revenues for four of the six fiscal years ending with
1992-93, and were essentially equal in 1993-94. According to the
Department of Finance, the State suffered a continuing budget
deficit of approximately $2.8 billion in the Special Fund for
Economic Uncertainties (Special Funds account for revenues
obtained from specific revenue sources, and which are legally
restricted to expenditures for specified purposes). The 1993-94
Budget Act incorporated a Deficit Reduction Plan to repay this
deficit over two years. The original budget for 1993-94 reflected
revenues which exceeded expenditures by approximately $2.8
billion. As a result of continuing recession, the excess of
revenues over expenditures for the 1993-94 fiscal year was less
than $300 million. The accumulated budget deficit at June 30,
1994 was not able to be retired by June 30, 1995 as planned. When
the economy failed to recover sufficiently in 1993-94, a second
two-year plan was implemented in 1994-95. The accumulated budget
deficits over the past several years, together with expenditures
for school funding which have not been reflected in the budget,
and the reduction of available internal borrowable funds, have
combined to significantly deplete the State's cash resources to
pay its ongoing expenses. In order to meet its cash needs, the
State has had to rely for several years on a series of external
borrowings, including borrowings past the end of a fiscal year.
At the end of its 1995-96 fiscal year, however, the State did not
borrow monies into the subsequent fiscal year.
Since the severe recession, California's economy has been
recovering. Employment has grown by over 500,000 in 1994 and
1995, and the pre-recession level of total employment is expected
to be matched by early 1996. The strongest growth has been in
export-related industries, business services, electronics,
entertainment and tourism, all of which have offset the recession-
related losses which were heaviest in aerospace and defense-
related industries (accounting for approximately two-thirds of the
job losses), finance and insurance. Residential housing
construction, with new permits for under 100,000 annual new units
issued in 1994 and 1995, is weaker than in previous recoveries,
but has been growing slowly since 1993.
Sectors which are now contributing to California's recovery
include construction and related manufacturing, wholesale and
retail trade, transportation and several service industries such
as amusements and recreation, business services, and management
consulting. Electronics is showing modest growth and the rate of
decline in aerospace manufacturing is slowly diminishing. As a
result of these factors, average 1994 non-farm employment exceeded
expectations and grew beyond 1993 levels.
Many California counties continue to be under severe fiscal
distress. Such distress has impacted smaller, rural counties and
larger suburban counties such as Los Angeles and Orange County,
which declared bankruptcy in 1994. Orange County has implemented
significant reductions in services and personnel, and continues to
face fiscal restraints in the aftermath of its bankruptcy.
1994-95 Budget
The 1994-95 fiscal year represents the fourth consecutive
year the Governor and Legislature were faced with a very difficult
budget environment to produce a balanced budget. Many program
cuts and budgetary adjustments have already been made in the last
three years. The Governor's May Revision to his Budget proposal
recognized that the accumulated deficit could not be repaid in one
year, and proposed a two-year solution. The May Revision sets
forth revenue and expenditure forecasts and revenue and
expenditure proposals which result in operating surpluses for the
budget for both 1994-95 and 1995-96, and lead to the elimination
of the accumulated deficit, estimated at about $2 billion at June
30, 1994, by June 30, 1996.
The 1994-95 Budget Act, signed by the Governor on July 8,
1994, projects revenues and transfers of $41.9 billion, about $2.1
billion higher than revenues in 1993-94. This reflects the
Administration's forecast of an improved economy. Also included
in this figure is the projected receipt of about $360 million from
the federal government to reimburse the State for the cost of
incarcerating undocumented immigrants. The State will not know
how much the federal government will actually provide until the
federal fiscal year 1995 budget is completed, which is expected to
be by October 1994. The Legislature took no action on a proposal
in the Governor's January Budget to undertake expansion of the
transfer of certain programs to counties, which would also have
transferred to counties 0.5% of the State current sales tax. The
Budget Act projects Special Fund revenues of $12.1 billion, a
decrease of 2.4% from 1993-94 estimated levels.
The 1994-95 Budget Act projects General Fund expenditures of
$40.9 billion, an increase of $1.6 billion over 1993-94. The
Budget Act also projects Special Fund expenditures of $13.7
billion, a 5.4% increase over 1993-94 estimated expenditures. The
principal features of the Budget Act were the following:
1. Receipt of additional federal aid in 1994-95 of
about $400 million for costs of refugee assistance and medical
care for undocumented aliens, thereby offsetting a similar General
Fund cost. The State will not know how much of these funds it
will receive until the federal fiscal year 1994 budget is passed.
2. Reductions of approximately $1.1 billion in
health and welfare programs.
3. A General Fund increase of approximately $38
million in support for the University of California and $65
million for the California State University. It is anticipated
that student fees for the U.C. and the C.S.U. will increase up to
10%.
4. Proposition 98 funding for K-14 schools is
increased by $526 million from the 1993-94 levels, representing an
increase for enrollment growth and inflation. Consistent with
previous budget agreements, Proposition 98 funding provides
approximately $4,217 per student for K-12 schools, equal to the
level in the past three years.
5. Legislation enacted with the Budget Act
clarifies laws passed in 1992 and 1993 requiring counties and
other local agencies to transfer funds to local school districts,
thereby reducing State aid. Some counties had implemented
programs providing fewer monies to schools if there were
redevelopment agencies projects. The legislation bans this method
of transfers.
6. The Budget Act provides funding for anticipated
growth in the State's prison inmate population, including
provisions for implementing recent legislation (the so-called
"Three Strikes" law) which requires mandatory life sentences for
certain third-time felony offenders.
7. Additional miscellaneous cuts ($500 million) and
fund transfers ($255 million) totaling in the aggregate
approximately $755 million.
The 1994-95 Budget Act contains no tax increases. Under
legislation enacted for the 1993-94 Budget, the renters' tax
credit was suspended for 1993 and 1994. A ballot proposition to
permanently restore the renters' credit after this year failed at
the June 1994 election. The Legislature enacted a further one-
year suspension of the renters' tax credit, saving about $390
million in the 1995-96 fiscal year. The 1994-95 Budget assumes
that the State will use a cash flow borrowing program in 1994-95
which combines one-year notes and warrants. Issuance of the
warrants allows the State to defer repayment of approximately $1
billion of its accumulated budget deficit into the 1995-96 fiscal
year.
1995-96 Budget
The State began the 1995-1996 Fiscal Year with strengthening
revenues based on an improving economy and the smallest nominal "
budget gap" to be closed in many years.
The 1995-96 Budget Act, signed by the Governor on August 3,
1995, projects General Fund revenues and transfers of $44.1
billion, about $2.2 billion higher than projected revenues in
1994-95. The Budget Act projects Special Fund revenues of $12.7
billion, an increase from $12.1 billion projected in 1994-95.
The Department of Finances released updated projections for
the 1995-96 fiscal year in May, 1996, estimating that revenues and
transfers to be $46.1 billion, approximately $2 billion over the
original fiscal year estimate. Expenditures also increased, to an
estimated $45.4 billion, as a result of the requirement to expend
revenues for schools under Proposition 98, and, among other
things, failure of the federal government to budget new aid for
illegal immigrant costs which had been counted on to allow
reduction in costs.
The principal features of the Budget Act were the following:
1. Proposition 98 funding for schools and community colleges
will increase by about $1 billion (General Fund) and $1.2
billion total above revised 1994-95 levels. Because of
higher-than-projected revenues in 1994-95, an additional
$543 million is appropriated to the 1994-95 Proposition 98
entitlement. A significant component of this amount is a
block grant of about $54 per pupil for any one-time purpose.
Per-pupil expenditures are projected to increase by another
$126 in 1995-96 to $4,435. A full 2.7% cost-of-living
allowance is funded for the first time in several years.
The budget compromise anticipated a settlement of the CTA v.
Gould litigation.
2. Cuts in health and welfare costs totaling about $900
million, some of which would require federal legislative
approval.
3. A 3.5% increase in funding for the University of
California ($90 million General Fund) and the California
State University system ($24 million General Fund), with no
increases in student fees.
4. The updated Budget assumes receipt of $494 million in new
federal aid for costs of illegal immigrants, in excess of
federal government commitments.
5. General Fund support for the Department of Corrections is
increased by about 8% over 1994-95, reflecting estimates of
increased prison population. This amount is less than was
proposed in the 1995 Governor's Budget.
1996-97 Budget
The 1996-97 Budget Act was signed by the Governor on July
15, 1996 and projected General Fund revenues and transfers of
approximately $47.64 billion and General Fund expenditures of
approximately $47.25 billion. The Governor vetoed about $82
million of appropriations (both General Fund and Special Fund) and
the State has implemented its regular cash flow borrowing program
with the issuance of $3 billion of Revenue Anticipation Notes to
mature on or before June 30, 1997. The 1996-97 Budget Act
appropriated a budget reserve in the Special Fund for Economic
Uncertainties of $305 million, as of June 30, 1997. The
Department of Finance projects that, on June 30, 1997, the State's
available internal borrowable (cash) resources will be
approximately $2.9 billion, after payment of all obligations due
by that date, so that no cross-fiscal year borrowing will be
needed.
The State Legislature rejected the Governor's proposed 15%
cut in personal income taxes (to be phased over three years), but
did approve a 5% cut in bank and corporation taxes, to be
effective for income years starting on June 1, 1997. As a result,
revenues for the Fiscal Year will be an estimated $550 million
higher than projected in the May Revision to the 1996-97 Budget,
and are now estimated to total $47.643 billion, a 3.3% increase
over the final estimated 1995-96 revenues. Special Fund revenues
are estimated to be $13.3 billion.
The Budget Act contains General Fund appropriations totaling
$47.251 billion, a 4.0% increase over the final estimated 1995-96
expenditures. Special Fund expenditures are budgeted at $12.6
billion.
The principal features of the Budget Act were the following:
1. Proposition 98 funding for schools and community college
districts increased by almost $1.6 billion (General Fund)
and $1.65 billion total above revised 1995-96 level periods.
Almost half of this money was budgeted to fund class-size
reduction in kindergarten and grades 1-3. Also, for the
second year in a row, the full cost of living allowance
(3.2%) was funded. The Proposition 98 increases have
brought K-12 expenditures to almost $4,800 per pupil (also
called per ADA, or Average Daily Attendance), an almost 15%
increase over the level prevailing during the recession
years. Community colleges will receive an increase in
funding of $157 million for 1996-97 out of this $1.6 billion
total.
2. Proposed cuts in health and welfare costs totaling about
$660 million. All of these cuts require federal law changes
(including welfare reform), federal waivers or federal
budget appropriations in order to be achieved. The 1996-97
Budget Act assumes approval/action by October, 1996, with
the savings to be achieved beginning November, 1996. The
1996-97 Budget Act was based on continuation of previously
approved assistance levels for Aid to Families with
Dependent Children and other health and welfare programs,
which had been reduced in prior years, including suspension
of State-authorized cost-of-living increases. Part of the
federal actions referred to above is approval to maintain
reduced assistance levels in 1996-97. The Legislature did
not approve the Governor's proposal for further cuts in
these assistance levels. The 1996-97 Budget Act does
include some $92 million for a variety of preventive
programs in health and social service areas such as the
prevention of teenage pregnancy and domestic violence.
3. A 4.9% increase in funding for the University of
California ($130 million General Fund) and the California
State University system ($101 million General Fund), with no
increases in student fees, maintaining the second year of
the Governor's four-year "compact" with the State's higher
education units.
4. The 1996-97 Budget Act assumed the federal government
will provide approximately $700 million in new aid for
incarceration and health care costs of illegal immigrants.
These funds reduce appropriations in theses categories that
would otherwise have to be paid from the General Fund. (For
purposes of cash flow projections, the Department of Finance
expects $540 million of this amount to be received during
the 1996-97 fiscal year.)
5. General Fund support for the Department of Corrections
was increased by about 7% over the prior year, reflecting
estimates of increased prison population.
6. With respect to aid to local governments, the principal
new programs included in the 1996-97 Budget Act are $100
million in grants to cities and counties for law enforcement
purposes, and budgeted $50 million for competitive grants to
local governments for programs to combat juvenile crime.
The 1996-97 Budget Act also assumed that legislation will be
adopted to revise the Trial Court Funding program, so that
future increases in trial court costs will be funded by the
State; this change will not have a significant impact in
1996-97.
The 1996-97 Budget Act did not contain any tax increases.
As noted, there was a reduction in corporate taxes. In addition,
the Legislature approved another one-year suspension of the
renters' tax credit, saving $520 in expenditures.
THE FOREGOING IS BASED ON OFFICIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER
INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE STATE HAS
INDICATED THAT ITS DISCUSSION OF BUDGETARY INFORMATION IS BASED ON
ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS OF REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES FOR THE
CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AND MUST NOT BE CONSTRUED AS STATEMENTS OF
FACT; THE ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS ARE BASED UPON VARIOUS
ASSUMPTIONS WHICH MAY BE AFFECTED BY NUMEROUS FACTORS, INCLUDING
FUTURE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN THE STATE AND THE NATION, AND THAT
THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE ESTIMATES WILL BE ACHIEVED.
Recent Voter Initiative
"Proposition 218" or the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" (the
"Proposition") was approved by the California electorate at the
November, 1996 general election. Officially titled "Voter
Approval For Local Government Taxes, Limitation on Fees,
Assessments and Charges Initiative Constitutional Amendment," the
Act was approved by a majority of the voters voting at the
election and adds Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California
Constitution.
The Proposition, among other things, requires local
governments to follow certain procedures in imposing or increasing
any fee or charge as defined. "Fee" or "charge" is defined to
mean "any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax or an
assessment imposed by an agency upon a parcel or upon a person as
an incident of property ownership, including user fees or charges
for a property related service."
The procedure required by the Proposition to impose or
increase any fee or charge include a public hearing upon the
proposed fee or charge and the opportunity to present written
protests by the owners of the parcels subject to the proposed fee
or charge. If written protests against the proposed fee or charge
are presented by a majority of the owners of the identified
parcels, the local government shall not impose the fee or charge.
The Proposition further provides as follows:
"Except for fees or charges for sewer, water, and
refuse collection services, no property related fee or
charge shall be imposed or increased unless and until such
fee or charge is submitted and approved by a majority vote
of the property owners of the property subject to the fee or
charge or, at the option of the agency, by a two-thirds vote
of the electorate residing in the affected area."
Additionally, the Proposition provides, with respect to
stand-by charges as follows:
"No fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless
that service is actually used by, or immediately available
to, the owner of the property in question. Fees or charges
based on potential or future use of a service are not
permitted. Standby charges, whether characterized as
charges or assessments, shall be classified as assessments
and shall not be imposed without compliance with Section 4
of this Article."
The Proposition provides that beginning July 1, 1997, all
fees or charges shall comply with the Proposition's requirements.
The Proposition is silent with respect to future increases
of existing fees or charges which are pledged to payment of
indebtedness or obligations previously incurred by the local
government. Presumably, the Proposition cannot preempt
outstanding contractual obligations protected by the contract
impairment clause of the federal constitution. However, with
respect to any given situation or case, litigation may be the
method which will settle any question concerning the authority of
a local government to increase fees or charges outside of the
strictures or the Proposition in order to meet contractual
obligations.
Proposition 218 also contains a new provision subjecting
"matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessments and
charges" to the initiative power. This means that no city or
local agency revenue source is safe from reduction or repeal
pursuant to the initiative process.
Litigation concerning various elements of the Proposition
may ultimately ensue and clarifying legislation may be enacted.
State Appropriations Limit
The State is subject to an annual appropriations limit
imposed by Article XIIIB of the State Constitution (the
"Appropriations Limit"), and is prohibited from spending
"appropriations subject to limitation" in excess of the
Appropriations Limit. Article XIIIB, originally adopted in 1979,
was modified substantially by Propositions 98 and 111 in 1988 and
1990, respectively. "Appropriations subject to limitation" are
authorizations to spend "proceeds of taxes," which consist of tax
revenues and certain other funds, including proceeds from
regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees to the extent that
such proceeds exceed the reasonable cost of providing the
regulation, product or service. The Appropriations Limit is based
on the limit for the prior year, adjusted annually for certain
changes, and is tested over consecutive two-year periods. Any
excess of the aggregate proceeds of taxes received over such two-
year period above the combined Appropriation Limits for those two
years is divided equally between transfers to K-14 districts and
refunds to taxpayers.
Exempted from the Appropriations Limit are debt service
costs of certain bonds, court or federally mandated costs, and,
pursuant to Proposition 111, qualified capital outlay projects and
appropriations or revenues derived from any increase in gasoline
taxes and motor vehicle weight fees above January 1, 1990 levels.
Some recent initiatives were structured to create new tax revenues
dedicated to specific uses and expressly exempted from the Article
XIIIB limits. The Appropriations Limit may also be exceeded in
cases of emergency arising from civil disturbance or natural
disaster declared by the Governor and approved by two-thirds of
the Legislature. If not so declared and approved, the
Appropriations Limit for the next three years must be reduced by
the amount of the excess.
Article XIIIB, as amended by Proposition 98 on November 8,
1988, also establishes a minimum level of state funding for school
and community college districts and requires that excess revenues
up to a certain limit be transferred to schools and community
college districts instead of returned to the taxpayers.
Determination of the minimum level of funding is based on several
tests set forth in Proposition 98. During fiscal year 1991-92,
revenues were smaller than expected, thus reducing the payment
owed to schools in 1991-92 under alternate "test" provisions. In
response to the changing revenue situation, and to fully fund the
Proposition 98 guarantee in the 1991-92 and 1992-93 fiscal years
without exceeding it, the Legislature enacted legislation to
reduce 1991-92 appropriations. The amount budgeted to schools,
but which exceeded the reduced appropriation, was treated as a
non-Proposition 98 short-term loan in 1991-92. As part of the
1992-93 Budget, $1.083 billion of the amount budgeted to K-14
schools was designated to "repay" the prior year loan, thereby
reducing cash outlays in 1992-93 by that amount. To ADA funding,
the 1992-93 Budget included loans of $732 million to K-12 schools
and $241 million to community colleges, to be repaid from future
Proposition 98 entitlements. The 1993-94 Budget also provided new
loans of $609 million to K-12 schools and $178 million to
community colleges to maintain ADA funding. These loans have been
combined with the 1992-93 fiscal year loans into one loan of $1.76
billion, to be repaid from future years' Proposition 98
entitlements, and conditioned upon maintaining current funding
levels per pupil at K-12 schools.
A Sacramento County Superior Court in California Teachers'
Association, et al. v. Gould, et al., ruled that the 1992-93
loans to K-12 schools and community colleges violate Proposition
98. As part of the negotiations leading to the 1995-96 Budget
Act, an oral agreement was reached to settle this case. The
parties reached a conditional final settlement of the case in
April, 1996. The settlement required adoption of legislation
satisfactory to the parties to implement its terms, which has
occurred, and final approval by the court, which was pending in
early July, 1996.
The settlement provides, among other things, that both the
State and K-14 schools share in the repayment of prior year's
emergency loans to schools. Of the total $1.76 billion in loans,
the State will repay $935 million by forgiveness of the amount
owed, while schools will repay $825 million. The State share of
the repayment will be reflected as expenditures above the current
Proposition 98 base circulation. The school's share of the
repayment will count as appropriations that count toward
satisfying the Proposition 98 guarantee, or from "below" the
current base. Repayments are to be spread over the eight-year
period beginning 1994-95 through 2002-03. Once the Director of
Finance certifies that a settlement has occurred, approximately
$377 million in appropriations from the 1995-96 fiscal year to
schools will be disbursed.
Because of the complexities of Article XIIIB, the
ambiguities and possible inconsistencies in its terms, the
applicability of its exceptions and exemptions and the
impossibility of predicting future appropriations, the Sponsor
cannot predict the impact of this or related legislation on the
Bonds in the California Money Market Portfolio. Other
Constitutional amendments affecting state and local taxes and
appropriations have been proposed from time to time. If any such
initiatives are adopted, the State could be pressured to provide
additional financial assistance to local governments or
appropriate revenues as mandated by such initiatives.
Propositions such as Proposition 98 and others that may be adopted
in the future, may place increasing pressure on the State's budget
over future years, potentially reducing resources available for
other State programs, especially to the extent the Article XIIIB
spending limit would restrain the State's ability to fund such
other programs by raising taxes.
State Indebtedness
As of July 1, 1996, the State had over $18.20 billion
aggregate amount of its general obligation bonds outstanding.
General obligation bond authorizations in the aggregate amount of
approximately $4.31 billion remained unissued as of July 1, 1996.
The State also builds and acquires capital facilities through the
use of lease-purchase borrowing. As of July 1, 1996, the State
had approximately $5.85 billion of outstanding lease-purchase
debt.
In addition to the general obligation bonds, State agencies
and authorities had approximately $20.77 billion aggregate
principal amount of revenue bonds and notes outstanding as of June
30, 1996. Revenue bonds represent both obligations payable from
State revenue-producing enterprises and projects, which are not
payable from the General Fund, and conduit obligations payable
only from revenues paid by private users of facilities financed by
such revenue bonds. Such enterprises and projects include
transportation projects, various public works and exposition
projects, education facilities (including the California State
University and University of California systems), housing, health
and pollution control facilities.
Litigation
The State is a party to numerous legal proceedings. In
addition, the State is involved in certain other legal proceedings
that, if decided against the State, might require the State to
make significant future expenditures or impair future revenue
sources. Examples of such cases include challenges to certain
vehicle license fees and challenges to the State's use of Public
Employee Retirement System funds to offset future State and local
pension contributions. Other cases which could significantly
impact revenue or expenditures involve challenges of payments of
wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the method of
determining gross insurance premiums involving health insurance,
property tax challenges, challenges of transfer of monies from
State Treasury Special Fund accounts to the State's General Fund
pursuant to 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994 Budget Acts. Because of the
prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently
possible to predict the outcome of such litigation or estimate the
potential impact on the ability of the State to pay debt service
on its obligations.
Ratings
During 1996, the ratings of California's general obligation
bonds was upgraded by the following ratings agencies. Recently
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group upgraded its rating of such debt
to A+; the same rating has been assigned to such debt by Fitch
Investors Service. Moody's Investors Service has assigned such
debt an A1 rating. Any explanation of the significance of such
ratings may be obtained only from the rating agency furnishing
such ratings. There is no assurance that such ratings will
continue of any given period of time or that they will not be
revised downward or withdrawn entirely if, in the judgment of the
particular rating agency, circumstances so warrant.
The Sponsor believes the information summarized above

Economic Trends
Over the long term, the State of New York (the "State") and
the City of New York (the "City") face serious economic problems.
The City accounts for approximately 41% of the State's population
and personal income, and the City's financial health effects the
State in numerous ways. The State historically has been one of
the wealthiest states in the nation. For decades, however, the
State has grown more slowly than the nation as a whole, gradually
eroding its relative economic affluence. Statewide, urban centers
have experienced significant changes involving migration of the
more affluent to the suburbs and an influx of generally less
affluent residents. Regionally, the older Northeast cities have
suffered because of the relative success that the South and West
have had in attracting people and business. The City has also had
to face greater competition as other major cities have developed
financial and business capabilities which make them less dependent
on the specialized services traditionally available almost
exclusively in the City.
The State has for many years had a very high state and local
tax burden relative to other states. The State and its localities
have used these taxes to develop and maintain their transportation
networks, public schools and colleges, public health systems and
other social services and recreational facilities. Despite these
benefits, the burden of state and local taxation, in combination
with the many other causes of regional economic dislocation, has
contributed to the decision of some businesses and individuals to
relocate outside, or not locate within, the State.
Notwithstanding the numerous initiatives that the State and
its localities may take to encourage economic growth and achieve
balanced budgets, reductions in federal spending could materially
and adversely affect the financial condition and budget
projections of the State and its localities.
The State and its Authorities
The State's current fiscal year commenced on April 1, 1996,
and ends on March 31, 1997, and is referred to herein as the
State's 1996-97 fiscal year. The State's budget for the 1996-97
fiscal year was enacted by the Legislature on July 13, 1996, more
than three months after the start of the fiscal year. The State
Financial Plan for the 1996-97 fiscal year was formulated on July
25, 1996 and is based on the State's budget as enacted by the
Legislature and signed into law by the Governor, as well as actual
results for the first quarter of the current fiscal year. The
State's prior fiscal year commenced on April 1, 1995, and ended on
March 31, 1996, and is referred to herein as the State's 1995-96
fiscal year.
The State closed projected budget gaps of $5.0 billion and
$3.9 billion for its 1995-96 and 199-97 fiscal years,
respectively. The 1997-98 budget gap was projected at $1.44
billion, based on the Governor's proposed budget of December 1995.
As a result of changes made in the enacted budget, that gap is now
expected to be larger. The gap, however, is not expected to be as
large as those faced in the prior two fiscal years. The Governor
has indicated that he will propose to close any potential
imbalance primarily through General Fund expenditure reductions
and without increases in taxes or deferrals of scheduled tax
reductions.
The 1996-97 State Financial Plan is projected to be balanced
on a cash basis. As compared to the Governor's proposed budget as
revised on March 20, 1996, the State's adopted budget for 1996-97
increases General Fund spending by $842 million, primarily from
increases for education, special education and higher education
($563 million). The balance represents funding increases to a
variety of other programs, including community projects and
increased assistance to fiscally distressed cities. Resources
used to fund theses additional expenditures include $540 million
in increased revenues projected for 1996-97 based on higher-than-
projected tax collections during the first half of calendar 1996,
$110 million in projected receipts from a new State tax amnesty
program, and other resources including certain non-recurring
resources. The total amount of non-recurring resources included
in the 1996-97 State budget is projected by the State Division of
the Budget ("DOB") to be $1.3 billion, or 3.9% of total General
Fund receipts.
The State issued its first update to the cash-basis 1996-97
State Financial Plan (the "Mid-Year Update") on October 25, 1996.
The Mid-Year Update reflects a balanced 1996-97 State Financial
Plan, with a reserve for contingencies in the General Fund of $300
million. This reserve will be utilized to help offset a variety
of potential risks and other unexpected contingencies that the
State may face during the balance of the 1996-97 fiscal year.
The State Financial Plan is based on a June 1996 projection
by DOB of national and State economic activity. The national
economy has resumed a more robust rate of growth after a "soft
landing" in 1995, with over 11 million jobs added nationally since
early 1992. The State economy has continued to expand, but growth
remains somewhat slower that in the nation. Although the State
has added approximately 240,000 jobs since late 1992, employment
growth in the State has been hindered during recent years by
significant cutbacks in the computer and instrument manufacturing,
utility, defense and banking industries. Government downsizing
has also moderated these job gains.
In its Mid-Year Update the State revised its forecast of
national and State economic activity through the end of calendar
year 1997 to reflect the stronger-than-expected growth in the
first half of 1996. The national economic forecast has been
changed slightly from the initial forecast on which the original
1996-97 State Financial Plan was based. The revised forecast
projects real Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") growth in the nation
of 2.5% for 1996 and 2.4% in 1997. The inflation rate is
expected to be 3.0% in 1996 and 2.9% in 1997. The annual rate of
job growth is expected to slow gradually to about 1.8% in 1997,
down from 2.2% in 1996. Growth in personal income and wages is
expected to slow accordingly.
The State economic forecast has been changed slightly from
the one formulated with the July 1996-97 State Financial Plan.
Moderate growth is projected to continue through the second half
of 1996, with unemployment, wages and incomes continuing their
modest rise. Personal income is projected to increase by 5.2% in
1996 and 4.7% in 1997, reflecting robust projected wage growth
fueled in part by financial sector bonus payments. Overall
employment growth will continue at a modest rate, reflecting the
slowdown in the national economy, continued spending restraint in
government, and restructuring in the health care and financial
sectors.
The forecast for continued moderate growth, and any
resultant impact on the State's 1996-97 Financial Plan, contains
some uncertainties. Stronger-than-expected gains in employment
could lead to a significant improvement in consumption spending.
Investments could also remain robust. Conversely, the prospect of
a continuing deadlock on federal budget deficit reduction or fears
of excessively rapid economic growth could create upward pressures
on interest rates. In addition, the State economic forecast could
over- or underestimate the level of future bonus payments or
inflation growth, resulting in forecast average wage growth that
could differ significantly from actual growth. Similarly, the
State forecast could fail to correctly account for expected
declines in government and banking employment and the direction of
employment change that is likely to accompany telecommunications
deregulation.
The DOB believes that its projections of receipts and
disbursements relating to the current State Financial Plan, and
the assumptions on which they are based, are reasonable. Actual
results, however, could differ materially and adversely from the
projections set forth below, and those projections may be changed
materially and adversely from time to time.
The economic and financial conditions of the State may be
affected by various financial, social, economic and political
factors. Those factors can be very complex, may vary from fiscal
year to fiscal year, and are frequently the result of actions
taken not only by the State and its agencies and
instrumentatlities, but also by entities, such as the federal
government, that are not under the control of the State. Because
of the uncertainty and unpredictability of changes in these
factors, their impact cannot be fully included in the assumptions
underlying the State's projections. There can be no assurance
that the State economy will not experience results that are worse
than predicted, with corresponding material and adverse effects on
the State's financial projection.
The General Fund is the principal operating fund of the
State and is used to account for all financial transactions,
except those required to be accounted for in another fund. It is
the State's largest fund and receives almost all State taxes and
other resources not dedicated to particular purposes. In the
State's 1996-97 fiscal year, the General Fund is expected to
account for approximately 47% of total governmental-fund receipts
and 71% of total governmental-fund disbursements. General Fund
monies are also transferred to other funds, primarily to support
certain capital projects and debt service payments in other fund
types.
The General Fund is expected to be balanced on a cash basis
for the 1996-97 fiscal year. Actual receipts through the first
two quarters of the 1996-97 fiscal year reflect stronger-than-
expected growth in most taxes, with actual receipts exceeding
expectations by $276 million. Based on the revised economic
outlook and actual receipts for the first six months of 1996-97,
projected General Fund receipts for the 1996-97 fiscal year have
been increased by $420 million. Most of this projected increase
is in the yield of the personal income tax ($241 million).
Projected collections from user taxes and fees have been revised
downward slightly ($5 million). Revisions were also made to both
miscellaneous receipts and in transfers from other funds (an $11
million combined projected increase).
Disbursements through the first six months of the fiscal
year were $415 million less than projected, primarily because of
delays in processing payments following delayed enactment of the
State budget. As a result, no savings are included in the Mid-
Year Update from this slower-than-expected spending. Projections
of 1996-97 General Fund disbursements are increased by $120
million, since increased General Fund disbursements for education
are required to replace a projected decrease in lottery receipts.
This modification is shown in the form of an increased transfer of
General Fund monies to the Lottery Fund in the Special Revenue
fund type. The projected closing fund balance in the General Fund
of $337 million reflects a balance of $252 million in the Tax
Stabilization Reserve Fund (following a payment of $15 million
during the current fiscal year) and a deposit of $85 million to
the Contingency Reserve Fund.
On January 13, 1992, Standard & Poor's Ratings Group
("Standard & Poor's") reduced its ratings on the State's general
obligation bonds from A to A- and, in addition, reduced its
ratings on the State's moral obligation, lease-purchase,
guaranteed and contractual obligation debt. Standard & Poor's also
continued its negative outlook assessment to stable. On February
14, 1994, Standard & Poor's raised its outlook to positive and, on
August 5, 1996, confirmed its A- rating. On January 6, 1992,
Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") reduced its ratings on
outstanding limited-liability State lease-purchase and contractual
obligations from A to Baa1. On July 26, 1996, Moody's reconfirmed
its A rating on the State's general obligation long-term
indebtedness.
New York City and Other Localities
The City, with a population of approximately 7.3 million, is
an international center of business and culture. Its non-
manufacturing economy is broadly based, with the banking and
securities, life insurance, communications, publishing, fashion
design, retailing and construction industries accounting for a
significant portion of the City's total employment earnings.
Additionally, the City is the nation's leading tourist
destination. The City's manufacturing activity is conducted
primarily in apparel and publishing.
The national economic recession which began in July 1990
adversely affected the local economy, which had been declining
since late 1989. As a result, the City experienced job losses in
1990 and 1991 and real Gross City Product ("GCP") fell in those
two years. Beginning in calendar year 1992, the improvements in
the national economy helped stabilize conditions in the City.
Employment losses moderated toward year-end and real GCP
increased, boosted by strong wage gains. After noticeable
improvements in the City's economy during calendar year 1994,
economic growth slowed in calendar year 1995, and thereafter
improved during calendar year 1996, reflecting improved securities
industry earnings and employment in other sectors. The City's
current four-year financial plan assumes that moderate growth will
continue through calendar year 2000, with moderating job growth
and wage increases.
For each of the 1981 through 1996 fiscal years, the City
achieved balanced operating results as reported in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The City was
required to close substantial budget gaps in recent years in order
to maintain balanced operating results. There can be no
assurances that the City will continue to maintain a balanced
budget as required by State law without additional tax or other
revenue increases or reductions in City services, which could
adversely affect the City's economic base.
Pursuant to the New York State Financial Emergency Act of
the City of New York, the City prepares an annual four-year
financial plan, which is reviewed and revised on a quarterly basis
and which includes the City's capital, revenue and expense
projections and outlines proposed gap-closing programs for years
with projected budget gaps. The City's current four-year
financial plan projects substantial budget gaps for each of the
1999 and 2000 fiscal years, before implementation of the proposed
gap-closing program contained in the current financial plan. The
City is required to submit its financial plans to review bodies
including the New York State Financial Control Board (the "Control
Board").
The City depends on State aid both to enable the City to
balance its budget and to meet its cash requirements. The State's
1995-96 Financial Plan projects a balanced General Fund. There
can be no assurance that there will not be reductions in State aid
to the City from amounts currently projected or that State budgets
in future fiscal years will be adopted by the April 1 statutory
deadline and that such reductions or delays will not have adverse
effects on the City's cash flow or expenditures. In addition, the
federal budget negotiation process could result in a reduction in
or a delay in the receipt of federal grants which could have
additional adverse effects on the City's cash flow or revenues.
The Mayor is responsible for preparing the City's four-year
financial plan, including the City's current financial plan for
the 1997 through 2000 fiscal years (the "1997-2000 Financial Plan"
or "Financial Plan"). The City's projections set forth in the
Financial Plan are based on various assumptions and contingencies
which are uncertain and which may not materialize. Changes in
major assumptions could significantly affect the City's ability to
balance its budget as required by State law and to meet its annual
cash flow and financing requirements. Such assumptions and
contingencies include the condition of the regional and local
economies, the impact on real estate tax revenues of the real
estate market, wage increases for City employees consistent with
those assumed in the Financial Plan, employment growth, the
results of a pending actuarial audit of the City's pension system
which is expected to significantly increase the City's annual
pension costs, the ability to implement proposed reductions in
City personnel and other cost reduction initiatives, which may
require in certain cases the cooperation of the City's municipal
unions, the ability of the New York City Health and Hospitals
Corporation ("HHC") and the Board of Education ("BOE") to take
actions to offset reduced revenues, the ability to complete
revenue-generating transactions and provisions of State and
federal aid and mandate relief and the impact on City revenues of
proposals for federal and State welfare reform and any future
legislation affecting Medicare or other entitlements.
Implementation of the Financial Plan is also dependent upon
the City's ability to market its securities successfully. The
City's financing program for fiscal years 1998 through 2000
contemplates the issuance of $4.2 billion of general obligation
bonds and $4.2 billion of bonds to be issued by the proposed New
York City Infrastructure Finance Authority ("Finance Authority")
to finance City capital projects. The Finance Authority was
created as part of the City's effort to assist in keeping the
City's indebtedness within the forecast level of the
constitutional restrictions on the amount of debt the City is
authorized to incur. In addition, the City issues revenue and tax
anticipation notes to finance its seasonal working capital
requirements. The success of projected public sales of City bonds
and notes, New York Municipal Water Finance Authority ("Water
Authority") bonds and Finance Authority bonds will be subject to
prevailing market conditions, and no assurance can be given that
such sales will be completed. If the City were unable to sell its
general obligation bonds and notes or the Water Authority or the
Finance Authority were unable to sell its bonds, the City would be
prevented from meeting its planned capital and operating
expenditures. Future developments concerning the City and public
discussion of such developments, as well as prevailing market
conditions, may affect the market for outstanding City general
obligation bonds and notes.
The City has announced that it expects to sell approximately
$200 million to $300 million of tax-exempt fixed rate bonds for
capital purposes, on the basis of competitive bides, in May or
June 1997. In addition, depending on market conditions, the City
may sell approximately $875 million of tax-exempt fixed rate bonds
before the end of June 1997, most of which are expected to be used
in connection with a current refunding of certain outstanding City
bonds.
The City's operating results for the 1996 fiscal year were
balanced in accordance with GAAP, after taking into account a
discretionary transfer of $224 million, the 16th consecutive year
of GAAP balanced results. On January 30, 1997, the City submitted
tot he Control Board the Financial Plan for the 1997 through 2000
fiscal years, which relates to the City, the BOE, and the City
University of New York ("CUNY"). The Financial Plan is a
modification to the financial plan submitted to the Control Board
on June 21, 1996 (the "June Financial Plan").
The June Financial Plan identified actions to close a
previously projected gap of approximately $2.6 billion for the
1997 fiscal year. The proposed actions in the June Financial Plan
for the 1997 fiscal year included (i) agency actions totaling $1.2
billion; (ii) a revised tax reduction program which would increase
projected tax revenues by $369 million due to the four-year
extension of the 12.5% personal income tax surcharge and other
actions; (iii) savings resulting from cost containment in
entitlement programs to reduce city expenditures and additional
proposed State aid of $75 million; (iv) the assumed receipt of
revenues relating to rent payments for the City's airports, which
are currently the subject of a dispute with the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey (the "Port Authority"); (v) the sale of
the City's television station for $207 million; and (vi) pension
cost savings totaling $134 million resulting from a proposed
increase in the earnings assumption for pension assets from 8.5%
to 8.75%. In March 1997, the 12.5% personal income tax surcharge
was extended to December 31, 1998.
The 1997-2000 Financial Plan published on January 30, 1997
projects revenues and expenditures for the 1997 and 1998 fiscal
years balanced in accordance with GAAP, and projects gaps of $1.9
billion and $2.7 billion for the 1999 and 2000 fiscal years,
respectively. Changes since the June Fiscal Plan include (i) an
increase in projected tax revenues of $571 million, $207 million,
$73 million and $56 million in fiscal years 1997 through 2000,
respectively; (ii) a delay in the assumed receipt of $304 million
relating to projected rent payments for the City airports from the
1997 fiscal year to the 1999 fiscal year, and a $34 million
reduction in assumed State and federal aid for the 1997 fiscal
year; (iii) an approximately $200 to $300 million increase in
projected overtime and other expenditures in each of the fiscal
years 1997 through 2000; (iv) a $250 million increase in
expenditures for BOE in the 1997 and 1998 fiscal years for school
text books and other initiatives, to be funded by savings from the
refunding of outstanding indebtedness of the Municipal Assistance
Corporation for the City of New York; (v) a reduction in projected
pension costs of $34 million, $50 million, $49 million and $47
million, in fiscal years 1997 through 2000, respectively; and (vi)
debt service savings of $44 million in the 1998 fiscal year
resulting from the refunding of outstanding City bonds consummated
in the 1997 fiscal year.
In addition, the Financial Plan sets forth gap-closing
actions to eliminate a previously projected gap of $1.4 billion
for the 1998 fiscal year, and to reduce projected gaps for the
1999 and 2000 fiscal years. The gap-closing actions for the 1998
through 2000 fiscal years include (i) additional agency actions
totaling $558 million, $488 million and $600 million in fiscal
years 1998 through 2000; (ii) the prepayment in the 1997 fiscal
year of $391 million of debt service due in the 1998 fiscal year
for $125 million; (iii) the proposed sale of various assets
including the U.N. Plaza Hotel in the 1998 fiscal year; (iv)
additional State aid of $210 million in the 1998 fiscal year and
$85 million in each of the 1999 and 2000 fiscal years, including a
proposal that the State accelerate a $142 million revenue sharing
payment to the City from March 1999; and (v) entitlement savings
of $415 million in the 1998 fiscal year and $364 million in each
of the 1999 and 2000 fiscal years, which would result from
reductions in Medicaid spending for health care providers,
reimbursement limits and the State making available to the City
$77 million of additional federal block grant aid, as proposed in
the Governor's 1997-98 Executive Budget on January 14, 1997. The
Financial Plan does not reflect the subsequent amendment of the
1997-98 Executive Budget by the Governor to restore part of the
proposed reductions in Medicaid spending for health care
providers, which might reduce the projected entitlement savings
for the City, depending upon the method by which such restoration
is implemented. The gap-closing actions are partially offset by a
proposed tax reduction program totaling $250 million, $463 million
and $518 million in the 1998 through 2000 fiscal years,
respectively, including the proposed elimination of the 4% City
sales tax on clothing items under $500 as of December 1, 1997,
which is subject to State legislative approval.
The Financial Plan assumes (i) approval by the Governor and
the State Legislature of the extension of the 14% personal income
tax surcharge, which is scheduled to expire on December 31, 1997
and is projected to provide revenue of $169 million, $504 million
and $534 million in the 1998 through 2000 fiscal years,
respectively, and of the extension of the 12.5% personal income
tax surcharge, which scheduled to expire on December 31, 1998 and
is projected to provide revenue of $190 million and $528 million
in the 1999 and 2000 fiscal years, respectively; (ii) collection
of the projected rent payments for the City's airports, totally
$270 million and $180 million in the 1998 and 1999 fiscal years,
respectively, which may depend on the successful completion of
negotiations with the Port Authority or enforcement of the City's
rights under the existing leases through pending legal actions;
(iii) the ability of the HHC and BOE to identify actions to offset
substantial City and State revenue reductions and the receipt by
BOE of additional State aid; and (iv) State approval of the cost
containment initiatives and State aid proposed by the City; as
gap-closing actions for the 1998 fiscal year, and $115 million in
additional State aid which is assumed in the Financial Plan but
not provided for in the Governor's 1997-98 Executive Budget. The
Financial Plan does not reflect any increased costs which the City
might incur as a result of welfare legislation recently enacted by
Congress or legislation proposed by the Governor, which would, if
enacted, implement such federal welfare legislation, but does
assume the entitlement savings and additional federal aid for
localities provided in the Governor's 1997-98 Executive Budget.
Moreover, certain proposed entitlement cost containment and other
initiatives have been previously considered and rejected by the
State Legislature, The nature and extent of the impact on the
City of the State budget, when adopted, is uncertain, and no
assurance can be given that the State actions included in the
State adopted budget may not have a significant adverse impact on
the City's budget and its Financial Plan. It can be expected that
the proposals contained in the Financial Plan to close the
previously projected budget gap for the 1998 fiscal year will
engender substantial public debate which will continue through the
time the budget is scheduled to be adopted in June 1997.
Accordingly, the Financial Plan may be changed significantly by
the time the budget for the 1998 fiscal year is adopted. In
addition, the economic and financial condition of the City may be
affected by various financial, social, economic and political
factors which could have a material effect on the City.
The projections for the 1997 through 2000 fiscal years
reflect the costs of the settlements with the United Federation of
Teachers ("UFT") and a coalition of unions headed by District
Council 37 of the American Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees, which together represent approximately two-
thirds of the City's work force, and assume that the City will
reach agreement with its remaining municipal unions under terms
which are generally consistent with such settlements. The
settlement provides for a wage freeze in the first two years,
followed by a cumulative effective wage increase of 11% by the end
of the five-year period covered by the proposed agreements, ending
in fiscal years 2000 and 2001. Additional benefit increases would
raise the total cumulative effective increase to 13% above present
costs. Costs associated with similar settlements of all City-
funded employees would total $49 million, $459 million and $1.2
billion in the 1997, 1998 and 1999 fiscal years, respectively, and
exceeded $2 billion in each fiscal year after the 1999 fiscal
year. There can be no assurance that the City will reach an
agreement with the unions that have not yet reached a settlement
with the City on the terms contained in the Financial Plan.
In the event of a collective bargaining impasse, the terms
of wage settlements could be determine through statutory impasse
procedures, which can impose a binding settlement except in the
case of collective bargaining with the UFT, which may be subject
to non-binding arbitration, On January 23, 1996, the City
requested the Office of Collective Bargaining to declare an
impasse against the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association ("PBA") and
the Uniformed Firefighters Association ("UFA"). However, on April
7, 1997, the City reached a tentative settlement with the UFA
covering a 65-month period from January 1, 1995 to May 31, 2000.
At the request of both the City and the PBA, the City's Office of
Collective Bargaining declared an impasse between the City and the
PBA on January 30, 1997. However, while the parties prepare for
the impasse proceeding, negotiations are continuing, which may
eliminate the need for such a proceeding.
On July 10, 1995, Standard & Poor's revised downward its
rating on City general obligation bonds from A to BBB+ and removed
City bonds from Creditwatch. Standard & Poor's stated that
"structural budgetary balance remains elusive because of
persistent softness in the City's economy, highlighted by weak job
growth and a growing dependence on the historically volatile
financial services sector." Other factors identified by Standard
& Poor's in lowering its rating on City bonds included a trend of
using one-time measures, including debt refinancing, to close
projected budget gaps, dependence on unratified labor savings to
help balance the Financial Plan, optimistic projections of
additional federal and State aid or mandate relief, a history of
cash flow difficulties caused by State budget delays and continued
high debt levels.
On March 1, 1996, Moody's stated that the rating for City
general obligation bonds remains under review pending the outcome
of the adoption of the City's budget for the 1997 fiscal year,
and, in light of the status of the debt on public assistance and
Medicaid reform; the enactment of a State budget, upon which major
assumptions regarding State aid are dependent, which may be
extensively delayed; and the seasoning of the City's economy with
regard to its strength and direction in the face of a potential
national economic shutdown. Since July 15, 1993, Fitch has rated
City bonds A-. On February 28, 1996, Fitch Investors Service
("Fitch") placed the City's general obligation bonds on FitchAlert
with negative implications. On November 5, 1996, Fitch removed the
City's general obligation bonds from FitchAlert, although Fitch
stated that the outlook remains negative.
Litigation
A number of court actions have been brought involving State
finances. The court actions in which the State is a defendant
generally involve state programs and miscellaneous tort, real
property and contractual claims. While the ultimate outcome and
fiscal impact, if any, on the State of those proceedings and
claims are not currently predictable, adverse determinations in
certain of them might have a material adverse effect upon the
State's ability to maintain a balanced 1996-97 State Financial
Plan.
The claims involving the City, other than routine litigation
incidental to the performance of their governmental and other
functions and certain other litigation, arise out of alleged
constitutional violations, tort, breaches of contract and other
violations of law and condemnation proceedings. While the
ultimate outcome and fiscal impact, if any, on the City of those
proceedings and claims are not currently predictable, adverse
determinations in certain of them might have a material adverse
effect upon the City's ability to carry out the 1997-2000
Financial Plan. The City has estimated that its potential future
liability on account of outstanding claims against it as of June
30, 1996 amounted to approximately $2.8 billion.
APPENDIX D
The following information is a summary of special factors
affecting Florida municipal obligations. It does not purport to
be a complete description and is based on information from
statements relating to securities offerings of Florida issuers.
Additional Discussion of Special Factors Relating to Florida
Municipal Obligations
In 1980, Florida was the seventh most populous state in the
U.S. The State has grown dramatically since then and as of April
1, 1995, ranks fourth with an estimated population of 14.1
million. Florida's attraction, as both a growth and retirement
state, has kept net migration at an average of 227,000 new
residents a year from 1985 through 1995. The U.S. average
population increase since 1984 is about 1% annually, while
Florida's average annual rate of increase is about 2.3%. Florida
continues to be the fastest growing of the 11 largest states.
This strong population growth is one reason the State's economy is
performing better than the nation as a whole. In addition to
attracting senior citizens to Florida as a place for retirement,
the State is also recognized as attracting a significant number of
working age individuals. Since 1985, the prime working age
population (18-44) has grown at an average annual rate of 2.2%.
The share of Florida's total working age population (18-59) to
total State population is approximately 54%. This share is not
expected to change appreciably into the 21st century.
The State's personal income has been growing strongly the
last several years and has generally outperformed both the U.S. as
a whole and the Southeast in particular, according to the U.S.
Department of Commerce and the Florida Consensus Economic
Estimating Conference. This is because Florida's population has
been growing at a very strong pace and, since the early 70's, the
State's economy has diversified so as to provide a broader
economic base. As a result, Florida's real per capita personal
income has tracked closely with the national average and has
tracked above the Southeast. From 1985 through 1995, the State's
real per capita income rose an average 5.0% a year, while the
national real per capita income increased at an average 4.9%.
Because Florida has a proportionately greater retirement age
population, property income (dividends, interest and rent) and
transfer payments (Social Security and pension benefits among
other sources of income) are relatively more important sources of
income. For example, Florida's total wages and salaries and other
labor income in 1995 was 60.6% of total personal income, while a
similar figure for the nation for 1990 was 70.8%. Transfer
payments are typically less sensitive to the business cycle than
employment income and, therefore, act as stabilizing forces in
weak economic periods.
The State's per capita personal income in 1995 of $22,916
was slightly above the national average of $22,788 and
significantly ahead of that for the Southeast United States, which
was $20,645. Real personal income in the State is estimated to
increase 4.2% in 1996-97 and 4.4% in 1997-98. Real personal income
per capita in the State is projected to grow at 2.3% in 1996-97
and 2.6% in 1997-98. The Florida economy appears to be performing
in line with the U.S. economy and is expected to experience steady
if unspectacular growth over the next couple of years.
Since 1985, the State's population has increased an
estimated 26.1%. In that same period, Florida's total non-farm
employment has grown by over 36%. Since 1985, the job creation
rate in the state is more than twice that of the nation as whole.
Contributing to this is the State's rapid rate of growth in
employment and income is international trade. Changes to its
economy has also contributed to the State's strong performance.
The State is now less dependent on employment from construction,
construction-related manufacturing and resource-based
manufacturing, which have declined as a proportion of total State
employment. The State's service sector employment is nearly 87%
of total non-farm employment. While the Southeast and the nation
have a greater proportion of manufacturing jobs, which tend to pay
higher wages, service jobs tend to be less sensitive to swings in
the business cycle. The State has a concentration of
manufacturing jobs in high-tech and high value-added sectors, such
as electrical and electronic equipment, as well as printing and
publishing. These type of manufacturing jobs tend to be less
cyclical. The State's unemployment rate throughout the 1980's
tracked below the nation's. As the State's economic growth has
slowed, its unemployment rate has tracked above the national
average. The average rate in Florida since 1986 has been 6.2%.
The national average is also 6.2%. According to the U.S.
Department of Commerce, the Florida Department of Labor and
Employment Security, and the Florida Consensus Economic Estimating
Conference (together the "Organization") the State's unemployment
rate was 5.5% during 1995. As of November 1996, the Organization
estimates that the unemployment rate will be 5.3% for 1996 and
5.3% in 1997.
The State's economy is expected to decelerate along with the
nation, but is expected to outperform the nation as a whole.
Total non-farm employment in Florida is expected to grow at an
increase of 2.9% in 1996-97 and 2.9% in 1997-98. Trade and
services, the two largest, account for more than half of the total
non-farm employment. Employment in the service sectors should
experience an increase of 4.3% in 1996-97, and again growing 4.3%
in 1997-98. Trade is expected to expand 3.1% in 1997 and 2.9% in
1998. The service sector is now the State's largest employment
category.
Construction
The State's economy has in the past been highly dependent on
the construction industry and construction-related manufacturing.
This dependency has declined in recent years and continues to do
so as a result of continued diversification of the State's
economy. For example, in 1980, total contract construction
employment as a share of total non-farm employment was just about
7.5%, and in 1985, the share had edged downward to 5%. This trend
is expected to continue as the state's economy continues to
diversify. Florida, nevertheless, has a dynamic construction
industry, with single and multi-family housing starts accounting
for 8.5% of total U.S. housing starts in 1995 while the State's
population is 5.4% of the U.S. total population. Florida's
housing starts in 1995 were 115,000 and since 1985 averaged
148,500 a year.
A driving force behind the State's construction industry has
been the State's rapid rate of population growth. Although the
State currently is the fourth most populous state, its annual
population growth is now projected to slow somewhat as the number
of people moving into the State is expected to grow close to
230,000 a year throughout the 1990's. This population trend
should provide fuel for business and home builders to keep
construction activity lively in Florida for some time to come.
However, other factors do influence the level of construction in
the State. For example, federal tax reform in 1986 and other
changes to the federal income tax code have eliminated tax
deductions for owners of more than two residential real estate
properties and have lengthened depreciation schedules on
investment and commercial properties. Economic growth and
existing supplies of homes and buildings also contribute to the
level of construction in the State.
Single and multi-family housing starts in 1996-97 are
projected to reach a combined level of 113,200, increasing to
116,000 next year. Lingering recessionary effects on consumers
and tight credit are some of the reasons for relatively slow core
construction activity, as well as lingering effects from the 1986
tax reform legislation discussed above. Total construction
expenditures are forecast to increase 5.9% this year and increase
2.7% next year.
The State has continuously been dependent on the highly
cyclical construction and construction-related manufacturing
industries. While that dependency has decreased, the State is
still somewhat at the mercy of the construction and construction-
related manufacturing industries. The construction industry is
driven to a great extent by the State's rapid growth in
population. There can be no assurance that population growth will
continue throughout the 1990's, in which case there could be an
adverse impact on the State's economy through the loss of
construction and construction-related manufacturing jobs. Also,
recent increases in interest rates could significantly adversely
impact the financing of new construction within the State, thereby
adversely impacting unemployment and other economic factors within
the State. In addition, available commercial office space has
tended to remain high over the past few years. So long as this
glut of commercial rental space continues, construction of this
type of space will likely remain slow.
Tourism
Tourism is one of State's most important industries.
Approximately 40.7 million tourists visited the State in 1995, as
reported by the Florida Department of Commerce. In terms of
business activities and state tax revenues, tourists in Florida in
1995 represented an estimated 4.5 million additional residents.
Visitors to the State tend to arrive slightly more by air than by
car. The State's tourist industry over the years has become more
sophisticated, attracting visitors year-round and, to a degree,
reducing its seasonality. The dollar's depreciation has enhanced
the State's tourism industry. Tourist arrivals are expected to
increase 2.7% this fiscal year and 3.2% next fiscal year. Tourist
arrivals to Florida by air are expected to decrease by 5.2% this
year and increase by 3.15 next year, while arrivals by car are
expected fall by 0.3% 1996-97 but increase 3.2% in 1997-98. By
the end of the State's current fiscal year, 42.6 million domestic
and international tourists are expected to have visited the State.
In 1996-97, tourist arrivals should approximate 43.9 million.
Revenues and Expenses
Estimated fiscal year 1995-96 General Revenue plus Working
Capital and Budget Stabilization funds available to the State
total $15,419.3 million, a 4.0% increase over 1994-95. Of the
total General Revenue plus Working Capital and Budget
Stabilization funds available to the State, $14,651.7 million of
that is Estimated Revenues, which represents an increase of 7.4%
over the previous year's Estimated Revenues. With effective
General Revenues plus Working Capital Fund and Budget
Stabilization appropriations at $14.651.7 million, unencumbered
reserves at the end of 1995-96 are estimated at $697.8 million.
Estimated, fiscal year 1996-97 General Revenue plus Working
Capital and Budget Stabilization funds available total $16,601.7
million, a 7.7% increase over 1995-96. The $15,566.9 million in
Estimated Revenues (including recent Measures Affecting Revenues)
represents an increase of 6.25.6% over the previous year's
Estimated Revenues. With Combined General Revenues, Working
Capital Fund and Budgetary Stabilization appropriations at
$15,582.2 million, unencumbered reserves as of the end of 1997-97
are estimated at $1,019.5 million.
In fiscal year 1994-95, approximately 66% of the State's
total direct revenue to its three operating funds were derived
from State taxes, with federal grants and other special revenue
accounting for the balance. State sales and use tax, corporate
income tax, intangible personal property tax, and beverage tax
amounted to 69%, 7%, 4% and 4%, respectively, of total General
Revenue Funds available during fiscal 1994-95. In that same year,
expenditures for education, health and welfare and public safety
amounted to approximately 51%, 31% and 14%, respectively, of total
expenditures from the General Revenue Fund.
The State's sales and use tax (6%) currently accounts for
the State's single largest source of tax receipts. Slightly less
than 10% of the State's sales and use tax is designated for local
governments and is distributed to the respective counties in which
collected for use by the counties, and the municipalities therein.
In addition to this distribution, local governments may (by
referendum) assess a 0.5% or a 1.0% discretionary sales surtax
within their county. Proceeds from this local option sales tax
are earmarked for funding local infrastructure programs and
acquiring land for public recreation or conservation or protection
of natural resources as provided under applicable Florida law.
Certain charter counties have other taxing powers, in addition,
and non-consolidated counties with a population in excess of
800,000 may levy a local option sales tax to fund indigent health
care. It alone cannot exceed 0.5% and when combined with the
infrastructure surtax cannot exceed 1.0%. For the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996, sales and use tax receipts (exclusive of the
tax on gasoline and special fuels) totaled $11,461 million, an
increase of 7.4% over fiscal year 1994-1995.
The second largest source of State tax receipts is the tax
on motor fuels. However, these revenues are almost entirely
dedicated trust funds for specific purposes and are not included
in the State's General Revenue Fund.
The State imposes an alcoholic beverage wholesale tax
(excise tax) on beer, wine and liquor. This tax is one of the
State's major tax sources, with revenues totaling $441.5 million
in fiscal year ending June 30, 1996. Alcoholic beverage tax
receipts increased 1.0% from the previous year's total. Ninety-
eight percent of the revenues collected from this tax are
deposited into the State's General Revenue Fund.
The State imposes a corporate income tax. All receipts of
the corporate income tax are credited to the General Revenue Fund.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, receipts from this source
were $1,167.7 million, and increase of 9.3% from fiscal year 1994-
95.
The State imposes a documentary stamp tax on deeds and other
documents relating to realty, corporate shares, bonds,
certificates of indebtedness, promissory notes, wage assignments,
and retail charge accounts. The documentary stamp tax collections
totaled $77.53 million during fiscal year 1995-96, an 11.5%
increase from the previous fiscal year. For fiscal year 1994-95,
62.63% of these taxes were deposited to the General Revenue Fund.
The State imposes a gross receipts tax on electric, natural
gas and telecommunications services. All gross receipts utilities
tax collections are credited to the State's Public Education
Capital Outlay and Debt Service Trust Fund. In fiscal year 1994-
95, this amounted to $543.3 million, an increase of 6.9% over the
previous year.
The State imposes an intangible personal property tax on
stocks, bonds, including bonds secured by liens in Florida real
property, notes, governmental leaseholds and certain other
intangibles not secured by liens on Florida real property. The
annual rate of tax is 2 mils. Second, the State imposes a non-
recurring 2 mil tax on mortgages and other obligations secured by
liens on Florida real property. In fiscal year 1993-94, total
intangible personal property tax collections were $895.9 million,
a 9.5% increase over the prior year. Of the tax proceeds, 66.5%
are distributed to the General Revenue Fund.
The State's severance tax taxes oil, gas and sulfur
production, as well as the severance of phosphate rock and other
solid minerals. Collections from severance taxes total $77.2
million during fiscal year 1996-97, up 26.1% from the previous
year. Currently, 58% of this amount is transferred to the General
Revenue Fund.
The State began its own lottery in 1988. State law requires
that lottery revenues be distributed 50% to the public in prizes,
38% for use in enhancing education, and the balance, 12% for the
costs of administering the lottery. Fiscal year 1995-965 lottery
ticket sales totaled $2.07 billion, providing education with
approximately $788.1 million.
Debt-Balanced Budget Requirement
At the end of fiscal 1995, approximately $6.83 billion in
principal amount of debt secured by the full faith and credit of
the State was outstanding. In addition, since July 1, 1995, the
State issued about $1.3 billion in principal amount of full faith
and credit bonds.
The State Constitution and statutes mandate that the State
budget, as a whole, and each separate fund within the State
budget, be kept in balance from currently available revenues each
fiscal year. If the Governor or Comptroller believes a deficit
will occur in any State fund, by statute, he must certify his
opinion to the Administrative Commission, which then is authorized
to reduce all State agency budgets and releases by a sufficient
amount to prevent a deficit in any fund. Additionally, the State
Constitution prohibits issuance of State obligations to fund State
operations.
Litigation
Currently under litigation are several issues relating to
State actions or State taxes that put at risk substantial amounts
of General Revenue Fund monies. Accordingly, there is no
assurance that any of such matters, individually or in the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse affect on the State's
financial position.
Florida law provides preferential tax treatment to insurers
who maintain a home office in the State. Certain insurers
challenged the constitutionality of this tax preference and sought
a refund of taxes paid. Recently, the Florida Supreme Court ruled
in favor of the State. This case and others, along with pending
refund claims, total about $150 million.
Previously the State imposed a $295 fee on the issuance of
certificates of title for motor vehicles previously titled outside
the State. Plaintiffs sued the State alleging that this fee
violated the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The
Circuit Court in which the case was filed has granted summary
judgment for the plaintiffs, enjoined further collection of the
impact fee and ordered refunds to all those who paid the fee since
the collection of the fee went into effect. In the State's appeal
of the lower court's decision, the Florida Supreme Court ruled
that this fee was unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause.
Thus, the Supreme Court approved the lower court's order enjoining
further collection of the fee and requiring refund of the
previously collected fees. The refund exposure of the State has
been estimated to be in excess of $188 million.
The State maintains a bond rating of Aa, AA and AA from
Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's Ratings Group and
Fitch Investors Service, respectively, on the majority of its
general obligation bonds, although the rating of a particular
series of revenue bonds relates primarily to the project,
facility, or other revenue source from which such series derives
funds for repayment. While these ratings and some of the
information presented above indicate that the State is in
satisfactory economic health, there can be no assurance that there
will not be a decline in economic conditions or that particular
Florida municipal obligations will not be adversely affected by
any such changes.
The sources for the information presented above include
official statements and financial statements of the State of
Florida. While the Sponsor has not independently verified this
information, the Sponsor has no reason to believe that the
information is not correct in all material respects.
APPENDIX E
The following information is a summary of special factors
affecting Georgia municipal obligations. It does not purport to
be a complete description and is based largely on information from
statements relating to securities offerings of Georgia issuers.
Appropriations and Debt Limitations
Article III, Section IX, Paragraph IV(b) of the Constitution
of the State of Georgia (the "Constitution") provides:
The General Assembly shall not appropriate funds for any
given fiscal year which, in aggregate, exceed a sum equal to
the amount of unappropriated surplus expected to have
accrued in the state treasury at the beginning of the fiscal
year together with an amount not greater than the total
treasury receipts from existing revenue sources anticipated
to be collected in the fiscal year, less refunds, as
estimated in the budget report and amendments thereto.
Supplement appropriations, if any, shall be made in the
manner provided in Paragraph V of this section of the
Constitution; but in no event shall a supplementary
appropriations Act continue in force and effect beyond the
expiration of the general appropriations Act in effect when
such supplementary appropriations Act was adopted and
approved.
Article VII, Section W, Paragraph f(c), (d), (e) and (f) of the
Constitution provides that the State may incur public debt of two
types for public purposes: (1) general obligation debt and (2)
guaranteed revenue debt. General obligation debt may be incurred
to acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge or improve land,
waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment or
facilities of the State, its agencies, departments, institutions
and certain State Authorities, to provide educational facilities
for county and independent school systems, to provide public
library facilities for county and independent school systems,
counties, municipalities, and boards of trustees of public
libraries or boards of trustees of public library systems, to make
loans to counties, municipal corporations, political subdivisions,
local authorities and other local government entities for water or
sewerage facilities or systems, and to make loans to local
government entities for regional or multi-jurisdictional solid
waste recycling or solid waste facilities or systems. Guaranteed
revenue debt may be incurred by guaranteeing the payment of
certain revenue obligations issued by an instrumentality of the
State as set forth in said subparagraph (f) of Paragraph 1,
Section IV, Article VII of the Constitution. Article VII, Section
IV, Paragraph II(b)-(e) of the Constitution further provides that:
"(b) No debt may be incurred under subparagraphs (c), (d),
and (e) of Paragraph I of this section or Paragraph V of
this section at any time when the highest aggregate annual
debt service requirements for the then current year or any
subsequent year for outstanding general obligation debt and
guaranteed revenue debt, including the proposed debt, and
the highest aggregate annual payments for the then current
year or any subsequent fiscal year of the state under all
contracts then in force to which the provisions of the
second paragraph of Article IX, Section VI, Paragraph l(a)
of the Constitution of 1976 are applicable, exceed 10
percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the
state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the
year in which any such debt is to be incurred.
(c) No debt may be incurred under subparagraphs (c) and
(d) of Paragraph I of this section at any time when the term
of the debt is in excess of 25 years.
(d) No guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred to finance
water or sewage treatment facilities or systems when the
highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the
then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the state
for outstanding or proposed guaranteed revenue debt for
water facilities or systems or sewage facilities or systems
exceed 1 percent of the total revenue receipts less refunds,
of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately
preceding the year in which any debt is to be incurred.
(e) The aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt
incurred to make loans for educational purposes that may be
outstanding at any time shall not exceed $18 million, and
the aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to
purchase, or to lend or deposit against the security of,
loans for educational purposes that may be outstanding at
any time shall not exceed $72 million."
In addition, Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph IV of the
Constitution provides:
"The state, and all state institutions, departments and
agencies of the state are prohibited from entering into any
contract except contracts pertaining to guaranteed revenue
debt with any public agency, public corporation, authority,
or similar entity if such contract is intended to constitute
security for bonds or other obligations issued by any such
public agency, public corporation, or authority and, in the
event any contract between the state, or any state
institution, department or agency of the state and any
public agency, public corporation, authority or similar
entity, or any revenues from any such contract, is pledged
or assigned as security for the repayment of bonds or other
obligations, then and in either such event, the
appropriation or expenditure of any funds of the state for
the payment of obligations under any such contract shall
likewise be prohibited."
Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph l(b) of the Constitution
provides that the State may incur: "Public debt to supply a
temporary deficit in the state treasury in any fiscal year created
by a delay in collecting the taxes of that year. Such debt shall
not exceed, in the aggregate, 5 percent of the total revenue
receipts, less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year
immediately preceding the year in which such debt is incurred.
The debt incurred shall be repaid on or before the last day of the
fiscal year in which it is incurred out of taxes levied for that
fiscal year. No such debt may be incurred in any fiscal year
under the provisions of this subparagraph (b) if there is then
outstanding unpaid debt from any previous fiscal year which was
incurred to supply a temporary deficit in the state treasury." No
such debt has been incurred under this provision since its
inception.
Virtually all debt obligations represented by bonds issued
by the State of Georgia, counties, or municipalities or other
public authorities require validation by a judicial proceeding
prior to the issuance of such obligation. The judicial validation
makes these obligations incontestable and conclusive, as provided
under the Georgia Constitution.
Revenue
The State of Georgia operates on a fiscal year beginning on
July 1 and ending on June 30. Each year the State Economist, the
Governor, and the State Revenue Commissioner jointly prepare a
revenue forecast upon which is based the state budget which is
considered, amended, and approved by the Georgia General Assembly.
Since 1975, the Governor and the General Assembly have attempted
to maintain a $100 million reserve fund, which in 1992 was eroded
because of a revenue shortfall. For the first seven months of the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1996, the State of Georgia enjoyed an
9.3% growth in revenues and had a $348,837,017.91 increase in
revenues above the same seven month period in the fiscal year
1995.
Legal Matters
The State from time to time is named as a party in certain
lawsuits, which may or may not have a material adverse impact on
the financial position of the State if decided in a manner adverse
to the State's interests. Certain of such lawsuits which could
have a significant impact on the State's financial position are
summarized below.
Age International, Inc. v. State (two cases) Fulton Superior Court
Civil Action No. E-3793 and Fulton Superior Court Civil Action No.
E-25073. Two suits for refund have been filed in state court
against the State of Georgia by out-of-state producers of
alcoholic beverages. The first suit for refund seeks 96 million
dollars in refunds of alcohol taxes, plus interest imposed under
Georgia's post-Bacchus (468 U.S. 263) statute, O.C.G.A. 34-60,
ie., as amended in 1985. These claims constitute 99% of all such
taxes paid during the 3 years preceding these claims. In
addition, the claimants have filed a second suit for refund for an
additional 23 million dollars, plus interest, for later time
periods. These two cases encompass all known or anticipated
claims for refund of such type with the apparently applicable
statutes of limitations for the years in question, i.e., 1989
through January, 1993. The cases are pending in the trial court
at the discovery stage.
DeKalb County v. Schrenko. This suit, originally filed in Federal
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, against the
State School Superintendent and the State of Georgia is based on a
claim that the State's funding formula for pupil transportation is
unconstitutional and a local school board's claim that the State
should finance the major portion of the costs of its desegregation
program. The plaintiffs are seeking approximately $67,500,000 in
restitution. The Federal District Court ruled that the State's
funding formula for pupil transportation is contrary to state law
but ruled in the State's favor on the school desegregation costs
issue. Motions to reconsider and amend the Courts judgment were
filed by both parties. The State's motion was granted, in part,
which reduced the required state payment to approximately
$28,000,000, as of the date of decision. Notices of appeal and
briefs to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals were filed by both
sides, and oral arguments on appeal were heard in October, 1996.
The case is still pending in the Eleventh Circuit, awaiting the
appellate court's ruling. The State intends to continue to defend
the suit vigorously.
Buskirk and Estill v. State of Georgia, et al.. On September 1,
1994, plaintiffs in this case filed a civil action in the Superior
Court of Fulton County, Georgia (No. E-31547) on behalf of all
"classified employees of the State of Georgia or its agencies and
departments during all or part of fiscal years 1992 through 1995
who were eligible to receive within grade pay increases and who
would have received same were it not for a freeze of within grade
pay increases." The trial court granted the State's motion to
dismiss and for summary judgment which completely resolved the
case in the State's favor. The case was appealed to the Georgia
Supreme Court. Oral argument before the Supreme Court was heard
in November, 1996, and, on March 10, 1997, the Supreme Court
affirmed the grant of summary judgment to the State. The
plaintiffs' motion for rehearing is pending. If the plaintiffs
prevail, the parties will conduct separate discovery on the issue
of damages. The State believes that it has good and adequate
defenses to the claims made, but, should the plaintiffs prevail in
every aspect of their claims, the liability of the State in this
matter could be as much as $295,000,000, based on best estimates
currently available.
Employment and Income
Georgia's annual average unemployment rate was below the
national average from 1986 until 1990. Slower economic growth
caused the unemployment rate in the state to rise to 6.2 percent
in 1990, and while it dipped to 5.0 percent in 1991 the rate
increased to 6.5 percent in 1992. The resumption of faster
economic growth resulted in a decrease in the state's unemployment
rate to 5.5 percent in 1993, well below the national average of
6.9 percent. Georgia's annual average unemployment rates in 1994
and 1995 were 5.2 and 4.8 percent, compared to national rates of
6.1 and 5.6 percent, respectively. As of November, 1996, the
unemployment rate for the state was 4.5 percent, compared to 5.3
percent for the United States.
Wholesale and retail trade employed more people than any
other non-agricultural sector in the state of Georgia from 1989 to
1995, followed by the service industry which became the leading
employer in 1996. Manufacturing was the third largest employer in
the state during the period, and earnings in manufacturing in
1994, the last year for which figures were available, averaged
$10.35 per hour compared to $10.65 for the Southeast and $12.06
for the nation.
Per capita income in the state in 1994 was $20,251, below
the national figure of $21,809 but above the Southeast's level of
$19,649 for the same year. The household median income figures in
the same year for the state, the nation and the Southeast were
$28,889, $30,786 and $27,013, respectively.
Georgia's per capita gross state product, in 1987 dollars,
for 1992 (the last year for which figures are available) was
$19,011, close to the national level of $19,611 and well above the
regional figure of $17,483. The average annual growth rate in
personal income for 1990-1995 was 5.7 percent.
Ratings
Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings
Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies and Fitch Investors
Service, Inc. have given the General Obligation Bonds, 1997A
ratings of "Aaa", "AA+" and "AAA," respectively. Any desired
explanation of the significance of such ratings should be obtained
from the rating agency furnishing it. Generally, rating agencies
base their ratings on information and materials furnished to the
agencies and on investigations, studies and assumptions by the
rating agencies. There is no assurance that any such rating will
remain in effect for a given period of time or that it will not be
lowered or withdrawn entirely if, in the judgment of the agency
originally establishing the rating, circumstances so warrant. Any
such change or withdrawal of the rating could have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Bonds. Neither the Commission
nor the Underwriter has undertaken any responsibility either to
bring to the attention of the holders of the Bonds any proposed
revision, suspension or withdrawal of the rating or to oppose any
such revision, suspension or withdrawal.
APPENDIX F
The following information is a summary of special factors
affecting Pennsylvania municipal obligations. It does not purport
to be a complete description and is based on information from
statements relating to securities offerings of Pennsylvania
issuers.
General
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is one of the most populous
states, ranking fifth behind California, New York, Texas and
Florida. Pennsylvania is an established yet growing state with a
diversified economy. It is the headquarters for 58 major
corporations. Pennsylvania had been historically identified as a
heavy industry state. That reputation has changed over the last
thirty years as the coal, steel and railroad industries declined
and the Commonwealth's business environment readjusted to reflect
a more diversified industrial base. This economic readjustment
was a direct result of a long-term shift in jobs, investment and
workers away from the Northeast part of the nation. Currently,
the major sources of growth in Pennsylvania are in the service
sector, including trade, medical and health services, education
and financial institutions.
Pennsylvania's agricultural industries remain an important
component of the Commonwealth's economic structure, accounting for
more than $2.6 billion in crop and lives stock products annually.
Agribusiness and food-related industries support $9 billion in
economic activity annually, Over 51,000 farms form the backbone of
the State's agricultural economy. Farmland in Pennsylvania
includes over four million acres of harvested cropland and four
million acres of pasture and farm woodlands--nearly one-third of
the Commonwealth's total land area. Agricultural diversity in the
Commonwealth is demonstrated by the fact that Pennsylvania ranks
among the top ten states in the production of a number of
agricultural products.
Pennsylvania's natural resources include major deposits of
coal, petroleum, natural gas and cement. Extensive public and
private forests provide a vast source of material for the
lumber/wood products industry and the related furniture industry.
Additionally, the Commonwealth derives a good water supply from
underground sources, abundant rainfall, and a large number o
rivers, streams and man-made and natural lakes.
Human resources are plentiful in Pennsylvania. The work
force is estimated at 5.9 million people, ranking as the sixth
largest labor pool in the nation. The high level of education
embodied in the Commonwealth's work force fosters a wide variety
of employment capabilities. Pennsylvania's basic and higher
education statistics compare favorably with other states in the
nation.
Population
The Commonwealth is highly urbanized. Of the Commonwealth's
1990 census population, 79 percent residing the 15 Metropolitan
Statistical Areas ("MSAs") of the Commonwealth. The largest MSAs
in the Commonwealth are those which include the cities of
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, which together contain almost 44
percent of the State's total population. The population of
Pennsylvania, 12.06 million people in 1996, according to the U.S.
Bureau of the Census, represents a slight increase from the 1987
population of 11.81 million. A high proportion (15.9 percent) of
Pennsylvania's population is comprised of persons 65 and over.
Employment
Non-agricultural employment in Pennsylvania over the ten
years ending in 1995 increased at an annual rate of 1.02 percent.
This rate compares to the 0.36 percent rate of the Middle Atlantic
region and 1.8 percent for the during the period 1986 through
1995. For the last three years, employment in the Commonwealth
has increased 3.4 percent. The growth in employment experienced
in Pennsylvania during this period is higher than the 2.9 percent
growth in the Middle Atlantic region. Non-manufacturing
employment in Pennsylvania has increased in recent years to 82.1
percent of total employment in 1995 and to 82.5 percent as of
December 1996. consequently, manufacturing employment constitutes
a diminished share of total employment within the Commonwealth.
Manufacturing, contributing 17.9 percent of 1995 non-agricultural
employment and 17.5 percent as of December 1996, has fallen behind
both the services sector and the trade sector as the largest
single source of employment within the Commonwealth. In 1991, the
services sector accounted for 28.6 percent of all non-agricultural
employment while the trade sector accounted for 22.8 percent.
Pennsylvania's annual average unemployment rate was below
the national average from 1986 until 1990. Slower economic growth
caused the unemployment rate in the Commonwealth to rise to 6.9
percent in 1991 and 7.5 percent in 1992. The resumption of faster
economic growth resulted in a decrease in the Commonwealth's
unemployment rate to 7.1 percent in 1993. In 1994 and 1995,
Pennsylvania's annual average unemployment rate was below the
Middle Atlantic region's average, but slightly higher than that of
the nation. As of January, 1997, the most recent month for which
data is available, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for
the Commonwealth was 4.7 percent, compared to 5.4 percent for the
United States.
Personal income in the Commonwealth for 1995 is $284.4
billion, an increase of 5.5 percent over the previous year.
During the same period, national personal income increased at a
rate of 6.2 percent. Based on the 1995 personal income estimates,
per capita income of 1995 is at $23,558 in the Commonwealth,
compared to per capita income in the United States of $23,208.
Among the major corporations that maintain their corporate
headquarters in the Commonwealth are the following: Air Products
and Chemicals, Inc., Alco Standard Corporation, Arco Chemical,
Bell Atlantic Corporation, Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Cigna
Corporation, Comcast Corporation, Consolidated Rail Corporation,
Hershey Foods Corporation, H.J. Heinz Company, Mellon Bank Corp.,
Pep Boys, Quaker State Corporation, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer, Rite Aid
Corporation, Union Pacific Corp., Unisys Corporation, U.S.
Healthcare and Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
The Commonwealth's 1995 average hourly wage rate of $12.81
compares favorably to the national average of $12.37 for 1995.
Market and Assessed Value of Property
Annually, the State Tax Equalization Board (the "STEB")
determines an aggregate market value of all taxable real property
in the Commonwealth. The STEB determines the market value by
applying assessment to sales ratio studies to assessment
valuations supplied by local assessing officials. The market
values certified by the STEB do not include property that is tax
exempt but do include an adjustment correcting the data for
preferential assessments granted to certain farm and forest lands.
Price Data
Since 1982-1984 (the consumer price index base period),
price inflation in the Commonwealth's largest MSAs, Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh, has been comparable to inflation in neighboring
MSAs and in the nation as a whole.
Commonwealth Government and Fiscal Administration
The government of the Commonwealth is composed of three
separate branches. A general organization chart of the
Commonwealth's government is shown on the following page.
Legislative Branch The legislative branch consists of the General
Assembly and its staff. The General Assembly is bicameral,
composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The 50
members of the Senate serve staggered four-year terms and the 203
Representatives serve identical two-year terms. The General
Assembly meets in regular session biannually beginning on the
first Tuesday of January following elections. Special sessions
may be called by the Governor on petition of a majority of the
members of each house or whenever the Governor determines that
public interest so requires. Legislative leadership includes
majority and minority leaders in each house, a President Pro
Tempore of the Senate and a Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
Executive Branch The Executive Branch is headed by five elected
officials and encompasses 19 departments and approximately 37
independent commissions, boards, authorities and agencies.
The five elected officials are the Governor, the Lieutenant
Governor, the Attorney General, the State Treasurer and the
Auditor General. The Governor and the Lieutenant Governor are
elected on the same ballot and serve a four-year term. The
Governor is eligible to succeed himself for one term. The A
General, the Attorney General and the State Treasurer are elected
for four-year terms in an even-year election held between
gubernatorial elections.
The Governor is the chief executive officer of the
Commonwealth. All departments except those of the State
Treasurer, the Attorney General and the Auditor General are under
the direct jurisdiction of the Governor. The head of each of the
remaining departments is a Secretary who is appointed by the
Governor and confirmed by a majority vote of the Senate. Each
Secretary serves at the Governor's pleasure and is a member of the
Governor's Cabinet.
The Lieutenant Governor presides over the Senate and serves
as Acting Governor during the disability of the Governor and
becomes Governor in the case of the death, conviction or
impeachment, failure to qualify or resignation of the Governor.
The Attorney General is the chief law enforcement officer of
the Commonwealth and is responsible for upholding and defending
the constitutionality of all statutes. He is also responsible for
reviewing the form and legality of all proposed rules and
regulations, deeds, leases and contracts to be executed by
Commonwealth agencies. The Office of Attorney General is under
the Attorney General's direct jurisdiction.
The State Treasurer is charged with receiving, depositing
and investing all Commonwealth funds and is responsible for the
pre-audit approval of all requisitions for the disbursements of
monies in the State Treasury. The Treasury Department is under
the State Treasurer's direct jurisdiction.
The Auditor General is charged with making audits of
completed financial transactions. The Department of the Auditor
General is under the Auditor General's direct jurisdiction.
Activities of state government are also conducted by various
independent commissions, boards, authorities and agencies created
by statute and not under the direct jurisdiction of the executive
and legislative branches.
Judicial Branch The judicial power of the Commonwealth is vested
in a unified judicial system consisting of a Supreme Court and
various other courts of original and appellate jurisdiction which
are under the supervision and authority of the Supreme Court. All
justices, judges and district justices are elected to office.
Fiscal Organization Each branch of the Commonwealth's government
is responsible for its respective fiscal operations subject to
restrictions embodied in the Constitution, the Administrative
Code, and the Fiscal Code. Such restrictions are enforced and
other central administrative functions are provided by five
departments: the Office of the Budget ("OB") and the Office of
Administration ("OA"), the Treasury Department, the Department of
Revenue and the Department of the Auditor General. OB and OA are
administrative offices within the Governor's offices. The
Secretary of the Budget and the Secretary of Administration are
appointed by the Governor and are responsible for the operations
of their respective offices. The Department of Revenue is led by
the Secretary of Revenue, who is appointed by the Governor subject
to the advice of the Senate. The Treasury Department and the
Department of the Auditor General is headed by the respective
elected official.
OB monitors the operation of the Commonwealth's departments,
operates a central accounting system, compiles and publishes the
Commonwealth's financial reports, assists in the preparation and
publication of the budget, coordinates capital improvements and is
responsible for the issuance of the Commonwealth's debt. OA is
responsible for personnel policy and programs, management policy
and organizational structure, data processing service, and
electronic data processing policy and planning. The Treasury
Department receives, invests and disburses all funds and maintains
central cash records. The Department of Revenue administers the
collection of most taxes. The Department of the Auditor General
oversees the examination of the majority of financial
transactions.
Commissions, authorities and agencies which are both
independent by statute and financially self-supporting, operate
autonomously although their capital projects and financing are
reviewed by OB and included in the capital budget.
The Budgetary Process The Commonwealth operates on a fiscal year
beginning July I and ending June 30. For example, "fiscal 1996"
refers to the fiscal year ending on June 30, 1996.
The budget process commences in September, nine months prior
to the beginning of the fiscal year, as departments formulate
their initial budgets in response to Program Policy Guidelines
issued by the Governor and hold preliminary hearings with OB and
other members of the Governor's staff. By November 1, formal
budget requests are submitted to OB by all government departments
and other institutions requesting appropriations. OB, under the
direction of the Secretary of the Budget, reviews the requests
through November and December and may hold formal hearings.
The Department of Revenue, in conjunction with OB, prepares
revenue estimates. In the preparation of such estimates, internal
analysis, information from selected departments and econometric
analysis are utilized. The Commonwealth subscribes to economic
forecasts prepared by The WEFA Group for national and Pennsylvania
economic data which are used to estimate economically sensitive
Commonwealth revenues. Other econometric forecasts are also
consulted.
The Constitution requires that the Governor submit annually
to the General Assembly a budget consisting of three parts:
(a) a balanced operating budget for the ensuing fiscal
year setting forth proposed expenditures and estimated
revenues from all sources and, if estimated revenues and
available surplus are less than proposed expenditures,
recommending specific additional sources of revenue
sufficient to pay the deficiency;
(b) a capital budget for the ensuing fiscal year setting
forth in detail proposed expenditures to be financed from
the proceeds of obligations of the Commonwealth or of its
agencies or authorities or from operating funds; and
(c) a financial plan for not less than the succeeding five
fiscal years, which includes for each year (i) projected
operating expenditures classified by department or agency
and by program, and estimated revenues by major categories
from existing and additional sources, and (ii) projected
expenditures for capital projects specifically itemized by
purpose and their proposed sources of financing.
All funds received by the Commonwealth are subject by
statute to appropriation in specific amounts by the General
Assembly or by executive authorizations by the Governor. The
Governor's budget encompasses both annual appropriations and
executive authorizations.
The Governor is required to submit the proposed budget as
soon as possible after the organization of the General Assembly
but not later than the first full week in February except in his
first year of office. The Governor's submission begins with the
Budget Message delivered in joint session. The budget in the form
of a proposed bill is delivered to the appropriations committee of
one of the houses. Hearings are held on the bills constituting
the budget. In an iterative process, bills are reported from
committee to floor and considered in and between houses.
The operating budget is considered in the form of the
General Appropriations Bill and its supplements. The Bill is
limited to appropriations for debt service, public schools and the
executive, legislative and judicial branches. Its supplements
cover appropriations from special revenue funds not included in
the General Appropriations Bill and for such subjects as capital
projects funded from current revenues, The operating budget also
includes single subject bills covering appropriations made to any
charitable or educational institutions not under the absolute
control of the Commonwealth other than certain State-owned schools
("non-preferred appropriations").
The Constitution mandates that total operating budget
appropriations made by the General Assembly may not exceed the sum
of (a) the actual and estimated revenues in a given year, and (b)
the surplus of the preceding year. The Constitution further
specifies that a surplus of operating funds at the end of the
fiscal year shall be appropriated. That is, if funds remain from
the end of a fiscal year they must be appropriated for the ensuing
year. Also, if a deficit occurs at year-end, funds must be
provided for such a deficit.
Pursuant to the Administrative Code, the revenue estimates
used in the budget are determined by the executive branch. In
practice, the revenue estimates used to balance the operating
budget consist of the appropriate fund's available surplus and its
estimated cash receipts for the fiscal year as well as net
accruals. Lapses estimated to occur during the year or at year-
end are not included; lapses are not available for appropriation
until they occur.
Under this budgetary process a deficit can occur if revenues
are less than those estimated in the budget and the shortfall is
not offset by any unappropriated surplus or by lapses during or at
the end of the year or by legislative action to increase revenues
or reduce appropriation.
The Administrative Code was amended in 1978 to provide for
stronger executive control of expenditures. All departments under
the Governor's jurisdiction may be required to submit estimates of
expenditures during the ensuing month, quarter or any other such
period as requested by the Governor. These estimates are subject
to the approval of the Secretary of the Budget. The Governor is
empowered to request the State Treasurer to withhold funds from
any such department not spending within such estimates. The
Secretary of the Budget is empowered to set personnel levels for
departments. Departments are required to provide personnel data
monthly so that the Commonwealth's computerized data file on
personnel levels can be maintained and used to monitor the
Commonwealth's largest operating expense.
The proposed capital budget is considered in the form of the
Capital Budget Bill and its supplements. The capital budget
determines limits for the amount of debt which can be issued in
that fiscal year for categories of capital projects, itemizes for
funding all capital projects not previously itemized, authorizes
the issuance of debt to finance these projects and appropriates
the proceeds from the issuance of debt.
All appropriations require the majority vote of all members
in each house except for non-preferred appropriations and
appropriations from the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund and from
the Sunny Day Fund which require passage by a two-thirds vote.
During the legislative process, the General Assembly may add,
change or delete any items in the budget proposed by the Governor.
Once the bills constituting the budget have passed both houses and
are returned to the Governor, he may either veto bills or item
veto appropriations within bills. A gubernatorial veto can be
overridden only by a two-thirds majority of all members of each
house.
Accounting and Budgetary Controls Every department of the
executive branch that receives appropriations from the
Commonwealth, with the exception of the Treasury Department and
the Departments of the Auditor General and the Attorney General,
has a comptroller appointed by and under the direct jurisdiction
of the Governor. These agencies share a centralized encumbrance-
based accounting system supervised by OB. Executive departments
operating separate additional accounting systems include the
Department of Transportation for the Motor License Fund, the
Liquor Control Board for the State Stores Fund and the Department
of Labor and Industry for the payment of unemployment compensation
benefits. Officials within the Treasury Department, the
Departments of the Auditor General and the Attorney General and
the judicial and legislative branches administer individual
operations under the jurisdiction of their respective areas.
Expenditure control occurs at two levels. The first is by
appropriations and is enforced by the State Treasurer and
individual comptrollers. The second is by allocations and
allotments and is enforced by OB for all departments receiving
appropriations, except for the legislative branch.
Departments receive authorization to spend and commit funds
in the form of appropriations for a specific amount, purpose and
time period. Funds appropriated to a single department may be in
one or more appropriations as the General Assembly determines.
When multiple appropriations to a department are enacted, separate
appropriations are made for general operating expenses, special
outlays and for specific programs or groupings thereof. The
degree to which a department's total appropriations are itemized
may vary, but control is exercised over both total and individual
appropriations.
The Constitution requires that with the exceptions named,
monies may be paid from the Treasury only if appropriated by law.
Accordingly, when a voucher is submitted to the State Treasurer, a
check will not be issued unless the amount is within the balance
of the agency's total appropriation.
Departments are prevented by their comptrollers from
incurring obligations in excess of their unexpended individual
appropriations by an encumbrance system. Encumbrance control
prevents spending beyond remaining individual appropriation
balances. When a commitment or obligation is incurred, for
example, when a contract or purchase order is signed, the required
portion of the corresponding appropriation is reserved. This
reserving of funds is called the encumbrance procedure. All
obligations which will require a future disbursement of cash in
the fiscal year require an encumbrance with the exception of debt
service. As the appropriation is used for no purpose other than
debt service, an encumbrance is not necessary.
All individual appropriations are allocated by OB to
departments by major object groups. For example, a department's
appropriation for operating expenses may be broken down into such
major object groups as personnel service, operating expenses and
supplies, etc. Additionally, major object groups are subdivided
into minor object groups. For example, personnel service would be
broken down into salaries, benefits, overtime, etc. Department
expenditures are monitored to insure that expenditures within an
allocation do not exceed the designated totals. The departments,
however, are free to adjust their expenditures between minor
object groups as long as they do not exceed the major object group
allocation. OB can monitor department expenditures against their
allocations on a continuing basis as the records of departments
under the Governor's jurisdiction can be accessed from the central
system while those of most other departments and branches are
provided monthly.
In addition to the preceding controls, another check is
provided by the financial reporting process. All department
records are reconciled by OB on a monthly basis with the Treasury
Department's records of cash transactions and with the Department
of Revenue's records of cash collections.
Audits The Constitution requires that the financial affairs
of any entity receiving appropriations and all department boards,
commissions, agencies, instrumentalities, authorities and
institutions of the Commonwealth be subject to audits made in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Any
Commonwealth officer whose approval is necessary for any
transaction may not be charged with the function of auditing that
transaction after its occurrence.
The Department of the Auditor General has the responsibility
for auditing all state-related financial transactions except its
own, those of the legislative and judicial branches, and boards
and commissions on which the Auditor General serves and those of
certain funds. At least one audit must be made annually of the
fiscal affairs of the executive branch. Audits of the
Commonwealth General Purpose Financial Statements since fiscal
1985 have been performed jointly by the Department of the Auditor
General and an independent public accounting firm.
The Treasury Department is required to pre-audit all
requests for expenditures to insure that they are in accordance
with law. In addition, OB conducts, as a matter of administrative
policy, periodic audits of comptrollers under the Governor's
jurisdiction and performance audits of state and federal programs.
APPENDIX G
The following information is a summary of special factors
affecting Ohio municipal obligations. It does not purport to be a
complete description and is based on information from statements
relating to securities offerings of Ohio issuers.
Additional Discussion of Special Factors Relating to Ohio
Municipal Obligations
The Ohio Portfolio will invest substantially all of its net
assets in Ohio obligations. The Ohio Portfolio is therefore
susceptible to political, economic and regulatory factors that may
affect issuers of Ohio obligations. The following information
constitutes only a brief summary of some of the complex factors
that may affect the financial situation of issuers in Ohio, and is
not applicable to "conduit" obligations on which the public issue
itself has no financial responsibility.
The creditworthiness of obligations issued by local Ohio
issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations
issued by the State, and generally there is no responsibility on
the part of the State to make payments on those local obligations.
There may be specific factors that are applicable in connection
with investment in particular Ohio obligations or in the
obligations of particular Ohio issuers, and it is possible the
investment will be in Ohio obligations or in obligations of
particular issuers as to which such specific factors are
applicable. However, the information set forth below is intended
only as a general summary and not a discussion of any such
specific factors that may affect any particular issuer or issue of
Ohio obligations.
State of Ohio
Most State operations are financed through the general
revenue fund ("GRF"), with personal income and sales-use taxes
being the major GRF sources. The last complete fiscal biennium
ended June 30, 1995 with a GRF fund balance of $928 million. Of
that $70 million was retained as an unreserved and undesignated
balance, and $850 million was transferred in various funds
including $535.2 million into the Budget Stabilization Fund, which
has a current balance of $828.3 million.
The Constitution directs or restricts the use of certain
revenues. Highway fees and excises, including gasoline taxes, are
limited in use to highway-related purposes. Not less that 50% of
the receipts from State income taxes and estate and inheritance
taxes must be returned to the originating political subdivision
and school districts. Since 1987, all state lottery net profits
are allocated to elementary, secondary, vocational and special
education program purposes.
Constitutional amendments relating to taxation, revenues,
expenditures, debt or other subjects may be proposed by action of
three-fifths of the members elected to each house of the General
Assembly or by initiative petition signed by electors numbering at
least 10% of the total number of votes last cast for the office of
governor. Adoption of a proposed amendment requires approval by a
majority of electors voting on it at a state-wide election.
The House in 1995 adopted a resolution that would have
submitted to the electors a constitutional amendment prohibiting
the General Assembly from imposing new tax or increasing an
existing tax unless approved by a three-fifths vote of each house
or by a majority vote of the electors. The Senate did not act on
the resolution. No similar proposal has yet been introduced in
the current General Assembly.
The Ohio Constitution expressly provides that the General
Assembly has no power to pass laws impairing the obligation of
contracts.
The Economy
Ohio is the seventh most populous state, with a 1990 Census
Count of 10,847,000 indicating a 0.5% population increase from
1980.
Although manufacturing (including auto-related
manufacturing) remains an important part of the State's economy,
the greatest growth in Ohio in recent years, consistent with
national trend, has been in the non-manufacturing area. Ohio
ranked fourth in the nation in 1991 gross state product derived
from manufacturing. Manufacturing was 26.3% of Ohio's gross state
product, compared to 17.1% of that total being from "services."
In addition, agriculture and "agribusiness" continue as important
elements of the Ohio economy.
Ohio continues as a major "headquarters" state. Of the top
500 corporations (industrial and service) based on 1996 revenues
reported in 1997 by Fortune magazine, 29 had headquarters in Ohio,
placing Ohio sixth as a corporate headquarters state.
Payroll employment in Ohio, in the diversifying base, showed
a steady upward trend until 1979, then decreased until 1982. It
reached a new high in the summer of 1993 after a slight decrease
in early 1992, then decreased slightly, and reached a new high in
1996. Growth in recent years has been concentrated among non-
manufacturing industries, with manufacturing employment tapering
off since its 1969 peak. The non-manufacturing sector employs
approximately 79% of all non-agricultural payroll workers in Ohio.
In prior years, the State's overall unemployment rate was
commonly somewhat higher than the national average. However, for
the years 1991 through 1996 the State rate (6.4%, 7.2%, 6.5%,
5.5%, 4.8% and 4.9%, respectively) was below the national rate
(6.7%, 7.4%, 6.8%, 6.1%, 5.6% and 5.4%, respectively). The
unemployment rate, and its effects, vary among particular
geographic areas of the State.
There can be no assurance that future state-wide or regional
economic difficulties, and the resulting impact on State or local
government finances generally, will not adversely affect the
market value of Ohio Obligations held in the portfolio of the Ohio
Trust or the ability of the particular obligors to make timely
payments of debt service on (or lease payments relating to) those
obligations.
Finances
The GRF appropriations act for the current biennium was
passed on June 28, 1995 and promptly signed (after selective
vetoes) by the Governor. That act provided for total GRF biennial
expenditures of approximately $33.5 billion, with the following
examples of GRF major program biennial expenditure increases over
those for the prior biennium: higher education, 13.1%; mental
health and mental retardation, 4.8%; primary and secondary
education, 15.4%; human services, 9.5%; justice and corrections,
28%.
Necessary GRF debt service and lease-rental appropriations
for the entire biennium were requested in the Governor's proposed
budget and incorporated in the related appropriations bill as
introduced, and in the bill's versions as passed by the House and
the Senate and in the act as passed and signed. The same is true
for the separate appropriations acts for the Ohio Department of
Transportation ("ODOT"), Department of Public Safety ("DPS") and
Bureau of Workers' Compensation ("BWC"), which included lease-
rental appropriations for certain Ohio Building Authority- ("OBA")
financed ODOT, DPS and BWC projects.
In accordance with the appropriations act, the significant
June 30, 1995 GRF fund balance, after leaving the GRF an
unreserved and undesignated balance of $70 million, was
transferred to a variety of funds, including $535.2 million to
the BSF (which has a current balance of $828.3 million), and
$322.8 million to other funds, including school assistance funds
and, in anticipation of possible federal programs changes, a human
services stabilization fund.
The June 20, 1996 GRF ending fund balance was over $781
million, which was higher than forecast. In accordance with
General Assembly directions, $100 million was promptly transferred
from the GRF to the fund providing for the elementary and
secondary school computer network and $30 million to a new fund
for State transportation infrastructure. Approximately $400.8
million is serving as a basis for temporary 1996 personal income
tax reductions aggregating that mount. OBM currently projects
significant biennium-ending GRF ending balances.
Litigation pending in federal district court and in the Ohio
Court of Claims contests the Ohio Department of Human Services'
("DHS") prior Medicaid financial eligibility rules for married
couples where one spouse is living in a nursing facility and the
other spouse resides in the community. DHS promulgated new
eligibility rules effective January 1, 1996. It is appealing an
order of the federal court directing it to provided notice to
persons potentially affected by the former rules from 1990 through
1995. It is not possible at this time to state whether this
appeal will be successful or, should plaintiffs prevail, the
period (beyond the current fiscal year) during which necessary
additional Medicaid expenditures would have to be made.
Plaintiffs have estimated total additional Medicaid expenditures
at $600 million for the retroactive period and, based on current
law, it is estimated that the State's share of those additional
expenditures is approximately $240 million. The Court of Claims
case may come to trial later this year.
State Debt
The incurring or assumption of debt by the State without a
popular vote is, with limited exceptions, prohibited by current
provisions of the State Constitution. The State may incur debt to
cover casual deficits or failures in revenues or to meet expenses
not otherwise provided for, but limited in amount to $750,000.
The State is expressly precluded from assuming the debts of any
local government or corporation. An exception in both cases is
made for any debt incurred to repel invasion, suppress
insurrection, or defend the State in war.
From 1921 to date Ohio voters approved 15 constitutional
amendments authorizing the incurring of State debt to which taxes
or excises were pledged for payment. All related to capital
facilities financing, except for three funding veterans' bonuses.
The only such tax-supported debt still authorized to be incurred
are highway and local infrastructure bonds as discussed below, and
general obligation coal development and natural resources bonds.
A 1995 constitutional amendment extended the local
infrastructure bond program (authorizing an additional $1.2
billion in state full faith and credit obligations to be issued
over 10 years for the purpose) and authorized additional highway
bonds. The latter supersedes the prior highway bonds
authorization of not more than $500 million to be outstanding at
any time and not more that $100 million to be issued annually, and
authorizes not more than $1.2 billion to be outstanding at any
time and not more than $220 million to be issued in a fiscal year.
The State and State agencies have issued revenue bonds that
are payable from net revenues of or relating to revenue-producing
facilities or categories of facilities, such as those issued by
the Ohio Turnpike Commission. Under interpretations by Ohio
courts, those revenue bonds are not "debt" within the
constitutional provisions described above. The Constitution
authorizes State bonds (issued by the Ohio Housing Financing
Agency) for certain housing purposes; tax monies may not be
obligated or pledged to those bonds.
In addition, Section 2i of Article VIII of the Constitution
authorizes the issuance, for certain purposes, of State
obligations the owners or holders of which are not given the right
to have excises or taxes levied by the General Assembly to pay
principal and interest. Those special obligations include the
bonds and notes issued by, among others, the Ohio Public
Facilities Commission ("OPFC") and the OBA and certain obligations
issued by the Treasurer of State. OPFC issues obligations for
facilities for higher education, mental health and parks and
recreation purposes. OBA issues obligations for facilities to
house branches and agencies of State government and their
functions, including: State office buildings and facilities for
the Department of Administrative Services ("DAS") and others;
juvenile detention facilities, including single-county our joint-
county facilities, for the Department of Youth Services ("DYS")
and other governmental entities; ODOT buildings; Department of
Rehabilitation and Correction ("DRC") prisons and correctional
facilities including certain local and community-based facilities;
office facilities for the BWC and Department of Natural Resources
("DNR"); Ohio Arts and Sports Facilities Commission ("ASFC") and
DPS facilities; and school district computer and security
facilities. The Treasurer issues obligations for certain
elementary and secondary school facilities under leases with the
State Department of Education.
The General Assembly has appropriated sufficient monies to
meet debt service requirements for the current biennium (ending
June 30, 1997) on all OPFC, OBA and Treasurer special obligations.
Except for $36.1 million of highway use receipts appropriated for
obligations issued for ODOT and DPS facilities, and $26,722,000
for the BWC facility obligations, all those monies have been
appropriated from the GRF.
Taxation
Census figures for 1994 showed that Ohio ranked 35th in
state taxes per capita and 26th in state and local taxes per
capita. Since those figures were developed many states, including
Ohio, have enacted tax revisions.
Personal Income. Current State personal income tax rates,
applying generally to federal adjusted gross income, range from
0.743% on $5,000 or less with increasing bracketed base rates and
percentages up to a maximum on incomes over $200,000 of $11,506
plus 7.5% on the amount over $200,000. The total of those taxes
for the 1996 tax year have been reduced by approximately 6.609% to
reflect the $400.8 million from the fiscal year 1996 ending GRF
balance that was deposited into the new income tax reduction fund.
The Constitution requires 50% of State income tax receipts
to be returned to the political subdivisions or school districts
in which the receipts originate. There is no present
constitutional limit placed on income tax rates.
Municipalities and school districts may also levy certain
income taxes. Any municipal rate (applying generally to wages and
salaries, and net business income) over 1%, and any school
district income tax (applying generally to the State income tax
base for individuals and estates), requires voter approval. The
highest current municipal tax rate is 2.5%. Most cities and
villages levy a municipal income tax. A school district income
tax has been approved in 117 districts.
Since 1960 the ratio of Ohio to U.S. personal income had
declined, with Ohio moving from fifth among the states in 1960 and
1970 to seventh in 1995. This movement in significant measure
reflects a trend in Ohio toward service sector employment.
Property. At present the State itself does not levy any ad
valorem taxes on real or tangible personal property. Those taxes
are levied by political subdivisions and local taxing districts.
The Constitution has since 1934 limited the amount of the
aggregate levy of ad valorem property taxes, without a vote of the
electors or municipal charter provision, to 1% of true value in
money, and statutes limit the amount of the aggregate levy without
a vote or charter provision to 10 mils per $1 of assessed
valuation. This is commonly referred to in the context of Ohio
local government finance as the "ten-mil limitation."
Schools and Municipalities
Schools. Litigation, similar to that in other states, has been
pending questioning the constitutionality of Ohio's system of
school funding. The Ohio Supreme Court concluded in a decision
released March 24, 1997 that major aspects of the system
(including basic operating assistance and the loan program) are
unconstitutional. The Court also found the R.C. Chapter 3318
school facilities program constitutionally infirm, but only "to
the extent it is underfunded." It ordered the State to provide
for and fund sufficiently a system complying with the Ohio
Constitution, staying its order for a year to permit time for
responsive corrective actions by the General Assembly. In
response to a State motion for reconsideration and clarification,
the Court on April 25 indicated that property taxes may still play
a role in, but "can no longer be the primary means" of school
funding. The Court also confirmed that contractual repayment
provisions of certain debt obligations issued for school funding
will remain valid after the stay terminates.
Under current financial structure, Ohio's 612 public school
districts and 49 joint vocational school districts receive a major
portion (state-wide aggregate approximately 44% in recent years)
of their operating monies from State subsidy appropriations (the
primary portion known as the Foundation Program) distributed in
accordance with statutory formulas that take into account both
local needs and local taxing capacity. The Foundation Program
amounts have steadily increased in recent years, including small
aggregate increases even in those fiscal years in which
appropriations cutbacks were imposed.
School districts also rely heavily upon receipts from
locally voted taxes. In part because of provisions of some State
laws, such as that partially limiting the increase in voted
property tax collections that would otherwise result from
increased assessed valuations (without further vote of the local
electorate), some school districts have experienced varying
degrees of difficulty in meeting mandated and discretionary
increased costs. Local electorates have largely determined the
total monies available for their schools. Locally elected boards
of education and their school administrators are responsible for
managing school programs and budgets within statutory
requirements. The State's present school subsidy formulas are
structured to encourage both program quality and local taxing
effort. Until the late 1970's, although there were some temporary
school closings, most local financial difficulties that arose were
successfully resolved by the local districts themselves by some
combination of voter approval of additional property tax levies,
adjustments in program offerings or other measures.
To broaden the potential local tax revenue base, local
school districts also may submit for voter approval income taxes
on the district income of individuals and estates. Many districts
have submitted the question, and income taxes have been approved
in 117 districts.
Current requirements of law and levels of State funding are
intended to prevent and to date have prevented school closings for
financial reasons. School districts facing year-end deficits must
apply to the State for consent to borrow to cover any deficits.
Current law prohibits school closings for financial reasons.
State appropriations for primary and secondary education for
the current 1996-97 biennium, including GRF and lottery
appropriations, are higher than those in the preceding biennium.
The total of $10.1 billion is 13.6% over the preceding biennium
total, and represents increases of 9.2% (actual) in the fiscal
year 1996 over 1995, and 6.6% in the fiscal year 1997 over 1996.
The Governor's budget for the 1998-1999 biennium proposed 4%
and 4.9% increases in State aid for primary and secondary
education for the biennium's two fiscal years. The appropriations
bill as passed by the House enhanced those increases, and the
Senate is now considering that bill. OBM expects those biennial
appropriations will be passed by the General Assembly prior to the
June 30 end of the fiscal biennium.
Those total appropriations include the net State lottery
profits. A constitutional provision requires that net lottery
profits be paid into a State fund to be used solely for the
support of elementary, secondary, vocational and special education
programs.
Municipalities. Ohio has a mixture of urban and rural population,
with approximately three-quarters urban. There are 943
incorporated cities and villages (municipalities with populations
under 5,000) in the State. Six cities have populations of over
100,000 and 19 over 50,000.
A 1979 act established procedures for identifying and
assisting those few cities and villages experiencing defined
"fiscal emergencies." A commission composed of State and local
officials, and private sector members experienced in business and
finance appointed by the Governor, is to monitor the fiscal
affairs of a municipality facing substantial financial problems.
That act requires the municipality to develop, subject to approval
and monitoring by its commission, a financial plan to eliminate
deficits and cure any defaults and otherwise remedy fiscal
emergency conditions, and to take other actions required under its
financial plan. It also provides enhanced protection for the
municipality's bonds and notes and, subject to the act's state
standards and controls, permits the State to purchase limited
amounts of the municipality's short-term obligations (used only
once, in 1980).
In the 18 years the act has been in effect, its "fiscal
emergency" provisions have been applied to 11 cities and 13
villages. The situations in nine cities and 10 villages have been
resolved and their commissions terminated. Only the cities of
East Cleveland and Nelsonville and three villages remain under the
procedure. A new "fiscal watch" status has recently been added,
with the city of Youngstown the first to be placed in this status.
The fiscal emergency legislation was recently amended to
extend its potential application to counties (88 in the State) and
townships. This extension is on an "if and as needed" basis, and
not aimed at particular existing fiscal problems of those
subdivisions.
Bond Ratings
The outstanding Highway Bonds issued by the Sinking Fund are
rated Aa1 by Moody's, AA+ by Fitch and AAA by S&P. The
outstanding Highway Obligations Bonds issued by the Sinking Fund
are rated Aa1 by Moody's, AA+ by Fitch and AAA by S&P.
The outstanding Natural Resources Bonds and Coal Development
Bonds issued by the Sinking Fund are rated Aa1 by Moody's, AA+ by
S&P and AA+ by Fitch.
The outstanding bonds of the State issued by OPFC and the
OBA are rated AA- by S&P, Aa3 by Moody's and AA- by Fitch.
Certain issues or portions of issues of OPFC or OBA are the object
of municipal bond insurance and bear different ratings.
There can be no assurance that the ratings assigned will
continue for any given time, or that a rating will not be lowered
or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if in its judgment
circumstances so warrant. Any downward change in or withdrawal of
a rating may have an adverse effect on the marketability or market
price of the bonds.
