SMITH BARNEY INTERMEDIATE MATURITY CALIFORNIA MUNICIPALS FUND
================================================================================

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney
Intermediate Maturity California Municipals Fund ("Fund") for the period ended
May 31, 1997. In this report, we summarize the period's prevailing economic and
market conditions and outline the Fund's investment strategy. A detailed summary
of the Fund's performance and current holdings can be found in the appropriate
sections that follow.

Fund's Performance Update

For the six months ended May 31, 1997, the Class A shares of the Fund generated
a total return of 1.42% and outperformed the Fund's Lipper Analytical Services
Inc. intermediate-term municipals peer group average total return of 1.29% for
the same period. (Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. is an independent fund
tracking organization.)

In addition, the Fund paid income dividends totaling $0.20 per Class A share
during the reporting period. Based on a net asset value (NAV) of $8.47 and a
current monthly income dividend of $0.0325 per Class A share, this equates to an
annualized distribution rate of 4.60%. For a California resident in the combined
state and federal income tax bracket of 42%, the Fund's tax-free yield of 4.60%
is equivalent to a taxable yield of 7.93%. (This figure assumes an investor is
in the federal tax bracket of 36%, which constitutes approximately 10% of all
U.S. taxpayers according to the Internal Revenue Service.)

Market and Economic Overview

For the past several months ending in May, the bond market experienced a
significant correction in prices. This correction was a reaction not only to the
Federal Reserve's ("Fed") minor tightening of short-term interest rates but more
so to the conservative stance taken by the Fed's Chairman, Alan Greenspan. Given
a benign inflationary outlook and moderating economic data, we felt this
indicated a less robust economy in the second quarter. We felt that long-term
interest rates were quite cheap. In our view, these factors have led us to a
very positive outlook for long-term interest rates and the municipal bond market
through the summer.

The Fed has declined to push the federal funds rate higher at both the May and
July meetings. (The federal funds rate is the interest rate banks charge each
other for overnight loans and an indicator of the direction of interest rates.)

                                                                               1

Despite impressive growth in jobs, the producer price indices (PPI) and consumer
price indices (CPI) have been quite benign. Second quarter growth has also been
much more moderate than the two previous quarters. Therefore, the Fed's response
has been, in our opinion, appropriate, and should be positive for the bond
market.

California Economic Highlights

The California economy has proved to be very vibrant and diversified, enjoying
strong growth most of the last six years. Job growth in the services and
manufacturing sectors, over a broad range of industries, has become the
cornerstone of California's recovery. As a result, the state's unemployment rate
is now at its lowest level in seven years and personal income has risen
steadily. These strong characteristics have allowed California's gross state
product to exceed the $1 trillion level. This is the first time any state has
achieved this level of economic output.

Fund's Investment Strategy

Our basic goal during the recent bond market correction has been to position the
Fund in high-grade bonds and maintain a low cash position. This strategy should
enable us to maximize our dividend income and give us a better chance to
participate in the price appreciation that we believe this market will
experience from today's levels.

During the reporting period, the Fund continued to maintain its emphasis on high
credit quality. As of May 31, 1997, roughly 98.0% of the Fund's holdings were
rated investment grade with nearly 48.0% of these investments rated AAA. (An
investment-grade security is a security with a rating of BBB/Baa or better from
Standard & Poor's Ratings Service or Moody's Investors Service, Inc., two major
credit report and bond rating agencies.)

As an intermediate-term municipal bond fund, the weighted average maturity of
the Fund's securities will normally not exceed ten years. In our opinion, the
shorter-term bonds should provide investors with a competitive return with
significantly less volatility than longer-term bonds. As of May 31, 1997, the
Fund's weighted average maturity was approximately 7.2 years. Also at the end of
the reporting period, the Fund's assets were allocated among the following types
of municipal bond issues: housing bonds (16.6%), hospital bonds (15.8%) and
transportation bonds (13.4%).

Outlook

Throughout 1997, the municipal market has outperformed its taxable counterpart
significantly. This is due simply to an ongoing imbalance in the supply and
demand for municipal bonds. For the past several years, supply has been quite
moderate, averaging about $170 billion per year. Conversely, demand has been
very strong, due to the significant amount of bond calls that have reduced the
amount of municipal debt outstanding by approximately $200 billion during the
last three years. Since we do not foresee any dramatic changes in this
relationship, we expect municipal debt to continue to show strong performance
relative to taxable debt.

In closing, thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney Intermediate
Maturity California Municipals Fund. We look forward to continuing to help you
achieve your financial goals.

Sincerely,

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

     sales charge at the time of investment and reinvestment of dividends and
     capital gains, if any, at net asset value through May 31, 1997. The Lehman
     Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index ("Index") is a broad-based index
     which includes about 5,200 bonds totaling approximately $63 billion in
     market capitalization. The Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. Peer Group
     Average is composed of an average of the Fund's peer group of mutual funds
     (31 funds as of May 31, 1997) investing in intermediate maturity California
     tax-exempt bonds. 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 Rating Service ("Standard & Poor's"),
except those identified by an asterisk (*) are rated by Moody's Investors
Service Inc. ("Moody's"). The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are
set forth below:

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

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

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

A    -- Bonds rated "A" have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
        principal although 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.

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.

================================================================================
Short-Term Securities Ratings
================================================================================

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

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

VMIG 1 -- Moody's highest rating for issues having a demand feature -- VRDO.

P-1    -- Moody's highest rating for commercial paper and for VRDO prior to the
          advent of the VMIG 1 rating.

     1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Smith Barney Intermediate Maturity California Municipals Fund ("Fund") is a
separate investment fund of the Smith Barney Investment Trust ("Trust"). The
Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management
investment company and consists of this Fund and the Smith Barney Intermediate
Maturity New York Municipals Fund. The financial statements and financial
highlights for this other fund is presented in a separate semi-annual report.

     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 asked prices by an independent
pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal obligations,
quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable
securities and various relationships between securities; (c) securities maturing
within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized
premium, which approximates value; (d) 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) 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; (g) dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date; (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; and (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.

     In addition, organization costs have been deferred and are being amortized
on a straight line basis over a five-year period, beginning with the
commencement of the Fund's operations in December 1991.

                                                                              17

     2. PORTFOLIO CONCENTRATION

     Since the Fund invests primarily in obligations of issuers within
California, it is subject to possible concentration risks associated with
economic, political, or legal developments or industrial or regional matters
specifically affecting California.

     3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT, ADMINISTRATION
        AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

     Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund
pays SBMFM an advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.30% of the average
daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly. For the six
months ended May 31, 1997, SBMFM waived $29,622 of its investment advisory fees.

     SBMFM also acts as the Fund's administrator for which the Fund pays a fee
calculated at the annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets. This fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly. For the six months ended May 31, 1997,
SBMFM waived $19,748 of its administration fees.

     Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares. For the six months ended May 31, 1997, SB received sales charges of
approximately $17,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A shares.

     Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect
to its Class A and C shares, calculated at the annual rate of 0.15% of the
average daily net assets for each class. In addition, the Fund pays a
distribution fee with respect to its Class C shares calculated at the annual
rate of 0.20%.

     For the six months ended May 31, 1997, total Distribution Plan fees were:

                                                        Class A         Class C
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees                                  $18,432         $4,511
================================================================================

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

     4. EXEMPT-INTEREST DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

     The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular Federal income tax and from
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.

     5. INVESTMENTS

     For the six months ended May 31, 1997, the aggregate cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

===============================================================================
Purchases                                                            $1,071,425
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales                                                                   277,000
===============================================================================

     At May 31, 1997, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were substantially
as follows:

===============================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                        $1,082,063
Gross unrealized depreciation                                           (18,696)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation                                          $1,063,367
===============================================================================

     6. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS

     At November 30, 1996, the Fund had for Federal tax purposes approximately
$986,000 of capital loss carryforwards available, subject to certain
limitations, to offset future capital gains. 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.

     The amount and year of expiration for each carryforward loss is indicated
below:

                                        11/30/01       11/30/02      11/30/03

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

     7. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

     As of May 31, 1997, the Fund had an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund
has the ability to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class
represents an identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class
bears certain direct expenses, including those specifically related to the
distribution of its shares.

     At May 31, 1997, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each
class:

                                     Class A          Class C         Class Y

Smith Barney Intermediate Maturity New York Municipals Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney
Intermediate Maturity New York Municipals Fund ("Fund") for the period ended May
31, 1997. In this report, we summarize the period's prevailing economic and
market conditions and outline the Fund's investment strategy. A detailed summary
of the Fund's performance and current holdings can be found in the appropriate
sections that follow.

Fund's Performance and Investment Strategy

For the six months ended May 31, 1997, the Class A shares of the Fund generated
a total return of 1.54% and outperformed the Fund's Lipper Analytical Services
Inc. intermediate-term municipals peer group average total return of 1.28% for
the same period. (Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. is an independent fund
tracking organization.) 

During the reporting period, the Fund continued to maintain its emphasis on high
credit quality. As of May 31, 1997, roughly 95.2% of the Fund's holdings were
rated investment grade with 43.2% of these investments rated AAA. (An investment
- -grade security is a security with a rating of BBB/Baa or better from Standard &
Poor's Ratings Service or Moody's Investors Service, Inc., respectively, two
major credit report and bond rating agencies.)

In addition, the Fund paid income dividends totaling $0.21 per Class A share
during the reporting period. Based on a net asset value (NAV) of $8.39 and a
current monthly income dividend of roughly $0.035 per Class A share, this
equates to an annualized distribution rate of 5.01%. For a New York resident in
the combined state and federal income tax bracket of 40.62%, the Fund's tax-free
yield of 5.01% is equivalent to a taxable yield of 8.44%. (This figure assumes
an investor is in the federal tax bracket of 36%, which constitutes
approximately 10% of all U.S. taxpayers according to the Internal Revenue
Service.)

As an intermediate-term municipal bond fund, the weighted average maturity of
the Fund's securities will normally not exceed ten years. As of May 31, 1997,
the Fund's weighted average maturity was approximately 8.1 years. Also at the
end of the reporting period, the Fund's assets were allocated among the
following types of municipal bond issues: transportation bonds (18.1%),
education bonds (15.2%), and general obligation bonds (13.6%).

                                                                               1

<PAGE>
 
We continue to follow an investment strategy that emphasizes high-quality
issues, good call protection and broad sector diversification. Generally, we
focus on the coupon, maturity and call features of the Fund's holdings rather
than the specific purpose for which the bond is being issued. Moreover, we
continue to slightly extend the average life of the Fund's holdings to take
advantage of the higher income stream from the longer-term issues.

New York Economic Highlights

The economic recovery of New York state, and particularly New York City, has
continued, led primarily by Wall Street and the financial services industries.
Moreover, both the state and city administrations have been successful in their
efforts to create a more efficient government and a more favorable business
environment. In the case of New York state, this downsizing has been
accomplished mainly through attrition and retirement incentives. Furthermore,
New York now leads the nation in reducing taxes for both residents and
businesses. 

Personal income growth in the Empire State remains strong, averaging well over
4.5% a year and income levels are nearly 20% above the national average. Yet,
like many states in the Northeast region, job growth still lags national
averages. Although down slightly from the previous year, the New York state
unemployment rate was about 6.2% in 1996, almost 1% higher than the national
average. Nevertheless, New York continues to earn a single A-minus and A3 rating
for its general obligation debt from Standard & Poor's Ratings Service and
Moody's Investors Services, respectively, indicating their generally positive
outlook for the Empire State's economic future. In our opinion, we believe that
continued fiscal restraint along with an improving employment should benefit
select New York municipal bonds.

Market Update and Outlook

The U.S. economy continued to grow steadily during the course of the year. Yet
conflicting official economic reports released during the year led many
investors to vacillate between a view of a slowing U.S. economy and one that was
beginning to overheat, which in turn led to considerable volatility in the bond
markets. However, since the beginning of 1997, many economic indicators showed
that the U.S. economy was expanding at a brisk pace. In response to a steady
stream of government economic reports, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") raised
the federal funds rate by 25 basis points, or 0.25% in March of this year. (The
federal funds rate is the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight
loans and is a closely watched indicator of the direction of interest rates.)

<PAGE>
 
Although many investors had expected an additional tightening of Fed monetary
policy at its May or July meetings, the Fed declined to raise interest rates on
both occasions. In our opinion, a positive inflation outlook and recent signs of
a softening U.S. economy led to the Fed's decision to leave rates unchanged.

However, we believe there is some risk of additional interest rate increases
later on this year. Recently released government reports indicated that the U.S.
economy grew at nearly a 5.8% annualized rate for the first quarter of 1997
compared to the already robust 3.8% annualized growth rate posted during the
fourth quarter of 1996. These U.S. economic growth rates are well beyond the
Fed's stated target range of approximately 2.5% annualized growth. Moreover,
it's unclear if the U.S. economy will be able to slow down enough over the
coming months to satisfy the Fed's concerns of possibly higher inflationary
pressures.

In closing, thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney Intermediate
Maturity New York Municipals Fund. We look forward to continuing to help you
achieve your financial goals.

Sincerely,

/s/ Heath B. McLendon    /s/ Peter M. Coffey

   the time of investment and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if
   any, at net asset value through May 31, 1997. The Lehman Brothers 10 Year
   Municipal Bond Index is a broad-based index comprised of approximately 5,200
   bonds totaling approximately $63 billion in market capitalization. The bonds
   are all municipal bonds with an average maturity of 9.8 years, an average
   yield of 4.93% and a duration of 7.08 years. The index is unmanaged and is
   not subject to the same management and trading expenses of a mutual fund. The
   Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. Peer Group Average is an average of the
   Fund's peer group of mutual funds (23 funds as of May 31, 1997) investing in
   intermediate maturity New York tax-exempt bonds. 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 Ratings Service ("Standard & Poor's"),
except those identified by an asterisk (*) are rated by Moody's Investors
Service Inc. ("Moody's"). The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are
set forth below: 

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

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

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

A -- Bonds rated "A" have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
although 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.

Moody's -- Numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 may be applied to each generic rating
from "Aa" to "B," where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest 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.

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

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

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

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Smith Barney Intermediate Maturity New York Municipals Fund ("Fund") is a
separate investment fund of the Smith Barney Investment Trust ("Trust"). The
Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management
investment company and consists of this Fund and the Smith Barney Intermediate
Maturity California Municipals Fund. The financial statements and financial
highlights for this other fund is presented in a separate semi-annual report.

  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 that are based on transactions in municipal obligations,
quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable
securities and various relationships between securities; (c) securities maturing
within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized
premium, which approximates value; (d) 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) direct expenses are charged to the Fund and
each class; investment advisory fees and general fund expenses are allocated on
the basis of relative net assets; (g) dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (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; and (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.

  In addition, organization costs have been deferred and have been amortized on
a straight line basis over a five year period, beginning with the commencement
of the Fund's operations in December 1991. Therefore, as of May 31, 1997, the
amortization of the deferred organization costs had been completed.

                                                                              17

SBMFM waived $34,247 of its administration fee.

  Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SBH, acts as distributor of

approximately $98,000 on purchases of the Fund's Class A shares.

  There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on Class C
shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from initial
purchase. For the six months ended May 31, 1997, CDSCs paid to SB for Class C
shares were approximately $1,000.

  Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to
its Class A and C shares, calculated at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average
daily net assets for each respective class. In addition, the Fund pays a

  3. EXEMPT-INTEREST DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

  The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular Federal income tax and from
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. FUND CONCENTRATION

  Since the Fund invests primarily in obligations of issuers within New York, it
is subject to possible concentration risk, associated with economic, political
or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically affecting
New York.

  5. INVESTMENTS

  For the six months ended May 31, 1997, the aggregate cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding short-
term securities) were as follows: 

================================================================================
Purchases                                                           $12,033,057

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


  At May 31, 1997, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation
of investments for Federal income tax purposes were substantially as follows:

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                       $1,585,491

Net unrealized appreciation                                         $1,581,780
================================================================================

  6. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD

  At November 30, 1996, the Fund had, for Federal income tax purposes,
approximately $1,863,000 of loss carryforwards available to offset any future
capital gains. 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.
The amount and year of the expiration for each carryforward loss is indicated
below:

                                   2002           2003          2004

  7. Shares of Beneficial Interest

  As of May 31, 1997, the Fund had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund has the
ability to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain
direct expenses, including those specifically related to the distribution of its
shares. 

  At May 31, 1997, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each
class:

                                                      Class A          Class C
