             DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
 
             We are pleased to provide you with the annual report for
             the Smith Barney Arizona Municipals Fund Inc. for the
             year ended May 31, 1996. For your convenience, we have
             summarized the period's prevailing economic and market
             conditions, and outlined the investment strategy employed
             by the Fund during this time. A detailed summary of
             performance and current holdings for the Fund can be found in
             the appropriate sections that follow in the annual report.
 
             MARKET AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
 
             Interest rates declined steadily over the latter part of 1995 in
             response to low inflation and very sluggish economic growth. During
             the first five months of 1996, however, interest rates rose sharply
             as economic reports pointed to much stronger growth than was
             expected and as concerns over the stalemated federal budget
             negotiations continued.
 
             In recent months, the volatility of the municipal bond market has
             increased and municipal bond yields have reached their highest
             levels in over a year. However, despite continued uncertainty over
             the direction of short-term interest rates, there have been some
             signs of a possible municipal bond market turnaround as the higher
             yields offered by municipal bonds have begun to attract a growing
             number of individual and institutional investors.
 
 
ARIZONA ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
 
Arizona has experienced significant economic growth over the past several years.
The Grand Canyon State is among the fastest-growing in the nation, with job
growth increasing steadily, and the unemployment rate declining. One factor
supporting Arizona's expansion is its low business costs, which are below the
national average. In addition, Arizona's proximity to southern California makes
it a prime relocation destination for Californians seeking a lower cost of
living. Several leading technology manufacturers such as Hughes Missile
Systems and Intel, have expanded their Arizona operations. As a result of
this growth, state revenues have increased, and a number of tax reductions
have been implemented. The personal income tax-rate has been reduced from
approximately 6.9%
 
                                                                               1

to 5.6%. Moreover, there has been a surge in new construction, not only
in housing but in cultural facilities as well. Construction has begun on a
major league baseball stadium and a new science center in downtown Phoenix,
with nearly $1 billion spent on new construction in the downtown-Phoenix
area alone since 1991.
 
Although Arizona's economy and population continue to expand, the state may
begin to experience the problems that some Northeastern states experienced in
the 1980's. The increase in new housing and commercial building starts, and the
inflow of more residents has had a negative impact on Arizona's air quality. In
addition, because of drought conditions over the past three years and population
pressures, the state has begun to ask its citizens to conserve water. However,
despite the challenges that growth poses, we remain positive about Arizona's
future prospects.
 
ARIZONA MUNICIPALS FUND INC.'S PERFORMANCE
AND INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1996, the Smith Barney Arizona Municipal Fund
Inc. generated a total return of 3.82% for Class A shares, slightly
outperforming its Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. peer group average of 3.43%
for the same period. (Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. is a major fund tracking
organization.) The Fund paid dividends totaling $0.52 per share for Class A
shares over the past twelve months; based on a net asset value of $9.95 as of
May 31, 1996, this equates to an annual yield of 5.23%. For an Arizona state
resident in the top combined federal and effective state income tax bracket of
42.98%, the tax-free yield of 5.23% is equivalent to a taxable yield of 9.17%.
 
In terms of investment strategy, the Fund continues to focus on high-coupon and
high-quality issues. Maintaining competitive dividend payments to our
shareholders is an important aspect of the Fund's investment approach. As of May
31, 1996 nearly 94% of the Fund was invested in investment grade (BBB/Baa and
higher) securities, as measured by Standard and Poor's Corporation or Moody's
Investor Service, Inc, with 56.2% of the Fund's investments rated triple-A.
(Standard and Poor's and Moody's are major credit rating and reporting
agencies.) The Fund's largest holdings are concentrated in general obligation
bonds (24.9%), followed by industrial revenue bonds (16.3%), housing (12.3%),
and education bonds (11.7%). The Fund's average weighted maturity as of
May 31, 1996 was 18 years.

MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET OUTLOOK
 
While the day-to-day volatility in the fixed income markets is likely to
continue, the sharp increase in interest rates recently has made long-term
municipal bonds more attractive on a relative basis. In our view, competitive
pressures in the global economy and changing demographics should help to keep
inflation in check and keep wages from going up. (Labor costs constitute roughly
two-thirds of the total cost of all finished goods.) With long-term municipal
bonds providing roughly 90% of the yield available on comparable maturity
Treasury securities, we believe investors are well compensated for the potential
risks.
 
It was not too long ago that the 'flat tax' issue was touted as potentially the
biggest issue of the upcoming Presidential election in November. The exit of
Republican candidate Steve Forbes from the Presidential race has caused the flat
tax to recede from the political debate. However, between now and November, tax
reform again could move into the political spotlight as the campaign
intensifies. Nevertheless, we believe there is little chance that radical tax
reforms will be enacted. In our view, the municipal bond market remains quite
attractive and the Arizona Municipals Fund is well positioned to meet the
challenges presented by the current environment.
 
Thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Arizona Municipals Fund Inc. We look
forward to helping you achieve your investment goals.
 
Sincerely,

    at net asset value through May 31, 1996. The Lehman Municipal Bond Fund
    Index is a broad based, total return index comprised of 8,000 actual bonds
    which are all investment grade, fixed rate, long-term maturities (greater
    than two years) and are selected from issues larger than $50 million dated
    since January, 1994. The index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same
    management and trading expenses as a mutual fund. The performance of the
    Fund's other classes may be greater or less than the Class A shares'
    performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether greater or lesser
    sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in the other
    classes.
 
    All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future
    results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and
    redemption values may be more or less than the original cost. No adjustment
    has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

BOND RATINGS
 
All  ratings are by Standard &  Poor's Corporation ('Standard & Poor's'), except
those identified by  an asterisk  (*) are  rated by  Moody's Investors  Services
('Moody's').  The definitions  of the  applicable rating  symbols are  set forth
below:
 
Standard & Poor's  --  Ratings from 'AA' to 'BB' may be modified by the addition
of a plus  (+) or minus  (-) sign to  show relative standings  within the  major
rating categories.
 
<TABLE>
<S>                  <C>
AAA                    --  Bonds  rated 'AAA' have the highest  rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
                           Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA                     --  Bonds rated 'AA'  have a very  strong capacity to  pay interest and  repay
                           principal and differs from the highest rated issue only in a small degree.
A                      --  Bonds rated 'A' have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
                           although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
                           in  circumstances  and  economic  conditions  than  debt  in  higher rated
                           categories.
BBB                    --  Bonds rated  'BBB' are  regarded as  having an  adequate capacity  to  pay
                           interest  and  repay  principal. Whereas  they  normally  exhibit adequate
                           protection   parameters,   adverse   economic   conditions   or   changing
                           circumstances  are  more likely  to  lead to  a  weakened capacity  to pay
                           interest and repay  principal for  debt in  this category  than in  higher
                           rated categories.
BB                     --  Bonds  rated 'BB' have less near-term  vulnerability to default than other
                           speculative issues.  However,  it  faces major  ongoing  uncertainties  or
                           exposure  to  adverse business,  financial,  or economic  conditions which
                           could lead to inadequate  capacity to meet  timely interest and  principal
                           payments.  The 'BB' rating category is  also used for debt subordinated to
                           senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied 'BBB - ' rating.
 
Moody's                --  Numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 may be applied to each generic rating  from
                           'Aa'  to 'Baa,' where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest ranking within its
                           generic category.
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  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 as  medium grade obligations,
                           i.e., they  are  neither highly  protected  nor poorly  secured.  Interest
                           payments  and  principal  security  appear adequate  for  the  present but
                           certain protective elements  may be lacking  or may be  characteristically
                           unreliable  over any  great length  of time.  Such bonds  lack outstanding
                           investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as
                           well.
 
NR                     --  Indicates that the bond is not rated by Standard & Poor's or Moody's.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    Smith Barney Arizona Municipals Fund Inc. ('Fund'), a Maryland corporation,
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
non-diversified, open-end management investment company.
 
    The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are:
(a) security transactions are accounted for on the trade date; (b) securities
are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and ask prices by an independent
pricing service; (c) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus
accreted discount or minus amortized premium, as applicable; (d) gains or losses
on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification
method; (e) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion
of original issue discount, is recorded on the accrual basis; market discount is
recognized upon the disposition of the security; (f) dividends and distributions
to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (g) direct expenses are
charged to the Fund and each class; management fees and general fund expenses
are allocated on the basis of relative net assets; (h) the Fund intends to
comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions
of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income
and excise taxes; (i) estimates and assumptions are required to be made
regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from
operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic
environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining
these estimates could cause actual results to differ; and (j) certain prior year
numbers have been restated to reflect current year's presentation. Net
investment income, net realized gains, and net assets were not affected by this
change.
 
    2.  FUND CONCENTRATION
 
    Since the Fund invests primarily in obligations of issuers within Arizona,
it is subject to possible concentration risks associated with economic,
political or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically
affecting Arizona.
 
    3.  EXEMPT-INTEREST DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
 
    The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from Federal income tax and from
 
                                                                              19

designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed
to the shareholders of the Fund.
 
    Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are
declared and paid at least annually.
 
    4.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT, ADMINISTRATION
       AGREEMENT AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
 
    Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ('SBMFM'), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ('SBH'), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. Effective
November 17, 1995, the investment advisory fee declined from 0.35% to 0.30%. The
fee is calculated at an annual rate based on the Fund's average daily net assets
and is paid by the Fund to SBMFM. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.
For the year ended May 31, 1996, SBMFM waived $64,184 of its investment advisory
fees.
 
    SBMFM also acts as the Fund's administrator for which the Fund pays a fee
calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets up to $500
million and 0.18% of the average daily net assets in excess of $500 million.
This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly. For the year ended May 31, 1996,
SBMFM waived $46,226 of its administration fees.
 
    In addition, The Boston Company Advisors, Inc. ('Boston Advisors'), an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation, acted as
sub-administrator to the Fund. SBMFM paid Boston Advisors a portion of its
administration fee at a rate agreed upon from time to time between SBMFM and
Boston Advisors. As of June 19, 1995 this relationship was terminated.
 
    Smith Barney Inc. ('SB'), another subsidiary of SBH, acts as distributor of
the Fund's shares. For the year ended May 31, 1996, SB received sales charges of
approximately $62,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A shares.
 
    There is a contingent deferred sales charge ('CDSC') of 4.50% on Class B
shares if redemption occurs less than one year from initial purchase. This CDSC
declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and thereafter by 1.00% per year
until no CDSC is incurred. Class C shares have a 1.00% CDSC if redemption occurs
within the first year from the date such investment was made. For the year ended
May 31, 1996, CDSCs paid to SB for Class B shares were approximately $55,000.

    6.  CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD
 
    At May 31, 1996, the Fund had for Federal income tax purposes approximately

To the extent that these carryforward losses are used to offset capital gains,
it is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed.

 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
SMITH BARNEY ARIZONA MUNICIPALS FUND INC.
 
    We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments, of Smith Barney Arizona Municipals Fund
Inc. as of May 31, 1996, the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for
each of the years in the two-year period then ended. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audit. The financial highlights for each of
the years or periods in the three year period ended May 31, 1994 were audited by
other auditors whose report thereon, dated July 13, 1994, expressed an
unqualified opinion on that statement and those financial highlights.
 
    We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May
31, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. As to securities sold
but not delivered, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Smith Barney Arizona Municipals Fund Inc. as of May 31, 1996, and the results of
its operations, changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the year
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
