MUNICIPAL HIGH INCOME FUND INC.
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide the Annual Report for Municipal High Income Fund
Inc. for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994. Over the past twelve months,
the Fund paid dividends totaling $0.648 per share, equivalent to an annualized
distribution rate of 7.22% based on the October 31, 1994 net asset value of
$8.98 per share and 7.85% based on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. closing
price on that date of $8.25 per share.
PORTFOLIO UPDATE
1994 has produced a difficult investment climate for the fixed income
investor as fear of an economic expansion and, by implication, the threat of
inflation have gripped both the global and domestic bond markets. In an effort
to combat inflation, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates six times
this year, and additional increases may be possible before year end. This has
led to a bond market characterized by pessimism and selling pressures and,
consequently, lower prices for most fixed-income securities. From our
perspective, however, trends currently aligning themselves in the bond markets
should provide positive developments for the debt markets in general, and
tax-exempt securities in particular.
When the markets become convinced that the Federal Reserve will do what is
necessary to slow economic growth, volatility should lessen and bond prices
should stabilize. This outcome becomes more likely as the Federal Reserve raises
short-term rates. Futhermore, as the Federal Reserve increases interest rates,
the U.S. dollar should strengthen, which will heighten the appeal of U.S. debt
instruments to foreign investors and thereby provide additional support to U.S.
markets. Now that the fall election cycle is complete, the markets will benefit
from a clearer knowledge of the political makeup and fiscal direction of our
government.
The tax-exempt market should continue to benefit from higher Federal tax
rates and a lack of new debt issuance, both of which heighten the value and
appeal of quality tax-exempt income. Moreover, municipals are at increasingly
attractive valuation levels as a percentage of Treasuries and should outperform
them on a relative basis going forward. The fact that our Fund is composed of
older, high-coupon bonds of good credit quality and is not leveraged means that
we are well positioned to meet our investment objective of high tax-exempt
current income at below average volatility and risk.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Municipal High Income Fund Inc. (the "Fund") was organized as a corporation
under the laws of the State of Maryland on March 4, 1988 and is registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission as a diversified, closed-end management
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the
preparation of its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments are valued by The Boston Company Advisors,
Inc. ("Boston Advisors") after consultation with an independent pricing service
(the "Service") approved by the Fund's Board of Directors. When, in the judgment
of the 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 prices and asked prices. Investments for which,
in the judgment of the Service, no readily obtainable market quotations are
available, are carried at fair value as determined by the Service or by the
Fund's Board of Directors. The Service may use electronic data processing
techniques and/ or a matrix system to determine valuations. Short-term
investments that mature in fewer than 60 days are valued at amortized cost.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after trade date. Realized
gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified
cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the policy of the Fund to
make monthly distributions of substantially all of its net investment income to
shareholders. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed to
shareholders at least once a year. In addition, in order to avoid the
application of a 4% nondeductible excise tax on certain undistributed amounts of
ordinary income and capital gains, the Fund may make an additional distribution
shortly before December 31 in each year of any undistributed ordinary income or
capital gains and expects to make any other distributions as are necessary to
avoid the application of this tax. To the extent that net realized capital gains
can be offset by capital losses and loss carryforwards, it is the policy of the
Fund not to distribute such gains. Income distributions and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are
primarily due to timing differences and differing characterization of
distributions made by the Fund as a whole.

[LOGO]
- ------------
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated
investment company, if such qualification is in the best interest of its
shareholders, by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and by
distributing substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore,
no Federal income tax provision is required.
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory
Agreement") with Greenwich Street Advisors, formerly a division of Mutual
Management Corp., which has been transferred effective November 7, 1994, to
Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"). Mutual Management Corp. and
SBMFM are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Smith Barney Holdings Inc.
("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Travelers Inc. Under
the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.40%
of the value of its average daily net assets.
Prior to June 1, 1994, the Fund was party to an administration agreement
("Administration Agreement") with Boston Advisors, an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation ("Mellon"). Under the Administration
Agreement, the Fund paid a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the value
of its average monthly net assets. As of the close of business on June 1, 1994,
SBMFM (formerly known as "Smith, Barney Advisers, Inc.") succeeded Boston
Advisors as the Fund's administrator. The new administration agreement contains
substantially the same terms and conditions, including the level of fees, as the
predecessor agreement.
As of the close of business on June 1, 1994, the Fund and SBMFM also entered
into a sub-administration agreement (the "Sub-Administration Agreement") with
Boston Advisors. Under the Sub-Administration Agreement, SBMFM pays Boston
Advisors a portion of its administration fee at a rate agreed upon from time to
time between SBMFM and Boston Advisors.
No officer, director, or employee of Smith Barney Inc. or any of its
affiliates receives any compensation from the Fund for serving as a Director or
officer of the Fund. The Fund pays each Director, who is not an officer,
director or employee of Smith Barney or any of its affiliates, $5,000 per annum
plus $500 per meeting attended and reimburses each such Director for travel and
out-of-pocket expenses.
Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of Mellon, serves as the Fund's custodian. The Shareholder Services Group, Inc.,
a subsidiary of First Data Corporation, serves as the Fund's transfer agent.

3. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
For the year ended October 31, 1994, cost of purchases and proceeds from
sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, aggregated
$33,625,395 and $30,242,583, respectively.
At October 31, 1994, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all
securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost amounted to
$5,754,661, and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in
which there was an excess of tax cost over value amounted to $10,462,943.
4. FUND SHARES
At October 31, 1994, 500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of
$.01 per share were authorized.
Common stock transactions were as follows:

5. ORGANIZATION COSTS
Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its organization and initial
public offering of shares amounted to $625,578 and were being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a five-year period, beginning November 28, 1988, the
date of the Fund's commencement of operations. All such costs have been fully
amortized as of October 31, 1994.
6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT
The Fund invests in securities offering high current income which generally
will be in the lower rating categories of recognized rating agencies. These
securities generally involve more credit risk than securities in the higher
rating categories. In addition, the trading market for high yield securities may
be relatively less liquid than the market for higher-rated securities.
7. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD
At October 31, 1994, the Fund had available for Federal income tax purposes
an unused capital loss carryforward of $2,666,650 expiring in 2002.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Municipal High Income Fund Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Municipal High Income Fund Inc., including the schedule of portfolio
investments, as of October 31, 1994, the related statements of operations for
the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five
years in the period ended October 31, 1994 and for the period from November 28,
1988 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 1989. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Lawrence T. McDermott, who is a Vice President and Investment Officer of the
Fund, is primarily responsible for management of the Fund's assets. Mr.
McDermott has served the Fund in these capacities since the commencement of the
Fund's operations.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Under the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan"),
a shareholder whose Common Stock is registered in his own name will have all
distributions reinvested automatically by The Shareholder Services Group, Inc.
("TSSG") as agent under the Plan, unless the shareholder elects to receive cash.
Distributions with respect to shares registered in the name of a broker-dealer
or other nominee (that is, in "street name") will be reinvested by the broker or
nominee in additional Common Stock under the Plan, but only if the service is
provided by the broker or nominee, and the broker or nominee makes an election
on behalf of the shareholder to participate in the Plan. Distributions with
respect to Common Stock registered in the name of Smith Barney will
automatically be reinvested by Smith Barney in additional shares under the Plan
unless the shareholder elects to receive distributions in cash. A shareholder
who holds Common Stock registered in the name of a broker or other nominee may
not be able to transfer the Common Stock to another broker or nominee and
continue to participate in the Plan. Investors who own Common Stock registered
in street name should consult their broker or nominee for details regarding
reinvestment.
The number of shares of Common Stock distributed to participants in the Plan
in lieu of a cash dividend is determined in the following manner. Whenever the
market price of the Fund's Common Stock is equal to or exceeds 98% of net asset
value per share at the time shares are valued for determining the number of
shares equivalent to the cash dividend or capital gains distribution,
participants will be issued shares of Common Stock valued at the greater of (i)
98% of net asset value per share or (ii) 95% of the then current market price.
If 98% of the net asset value per share of Common Stock at the time of valuation
exceeds the market price of the Common Stock, TSSG will buy shares of the Fund's
Common Stock on the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or
elsewhere, beginning on the record date of the dividend or distribution, until
it has expended for such purchases all of the cash that would otherwise be
payable to the participants. The number of purchased shares that will then be
credited to the participants' accounts will be based on the average per share
purchase price of the shares so purchased, including brokerage commissions. If
TSSG commences purchases in the open market and the market price of the shares
subsequently exceeds 98% of their net asset value before the completion of the
purchases, TSSG will attempt to terminate purchases in the open market and cause
the Fund to issue the remaining dividend or distribution in shares at 98% of the
net asset value per share. In

this case, the number of shares of Common Stock received by the participant will
be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open
market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares.
Plan participants are not subject to any charge for reinvesting dividends or
capital gains distributions. Each participant will, however, bear a
proportionate share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to TSSG's
open market purchases of shares of Common Stock in connection with the
reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions. For the year ended
October 31, 1994, no such brokerage commissions were incurred.
The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will
not relieve Plan participants of any income tax that may be payable on the
dividends or capital gains distributions. A participant in the Plan will be
treated for federal income tax purposes as having received, on the dividend
payment date, a dividend or distribution in an amount equal to the cash that the
participant could have received instead of shares of Common Stock.
A shareholder may terminate participation in the Plan at any time by
notifying TSSG in writing. A termination will be effective immediately if notice
is received by TSSG not less than 10 days before any dividend or distribution
record date. Otherwise, the termination will be effective, and only with respect
to any subsequent dividends or distributions, on the first trading day after the
dividend or distribution has been credited to the participant's account in
additional shares of Common Stock of the Fund. Upon termination according to a
participant's instructions, TSSG will either (a) issue certificates for the
whole shares credited to a Plan account and a check representing any fractional
shares or (b) sell the shares in the market. There will be a $5.00 fee assessed
for liquidation service, plus brokerage commissions, and TSSG is authorized to
sell a sufficient number of a participant's shares to cover such amounts.
The Plan is described in more detail on pages 21-23 of the Fund's Prospectus
dated August 23, 1993. Information concerning the Plan may be obtained from TSSG
at (800) 331-1710.
