    DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
 
        We are pleased to provide the quarterly report for Managed Municipals
    Portfolio Inc. for the three-month period ended August 31, 1994. During the
    past quarter, the Portfolio paid dividends totaling $0.183 per share,
    equivalent to an annualized distribution rate of 5.96% based on the August
    31, 1994 net asset value of $12.29 per share and 6.37% based on the New York
    Stock Exchange, Inc. closing price on that date of $11.50 per share.
 
    ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
 
        The economy has continued to experience steady, healthy growth during
    the past three months. The continued strength in the economy and some very
    early signs of an increase in inflation caused the Federal Reserve Board to
    raise the Federal funds rate to 4.75% in two separate moves between May and
    August of this year. Long-term interest rates also rose, causing a decline
    in the price of bonds because of the inverse relationship between yield and
    price. Between now and the end of the year, we would not be surprised to see
    the Federal Reserve Board raise the Federal funds rate to 5%. Looking out
    from where we are right now, we would expect the economy to slow somewhat
    over the next three to four months as the effect of this significant rise in
    interest rates works its way through the economy. Interest rates, both
    taxable and tax-exempt, appear to now represent very fair values. Long-term
    rates will probably move lower from where they are right now as the economy
    begins to slow.
 
    THE MUNICIPAL MARKET AND PORTFOLIO STRATEGY
 
        In our opinion, the worst of the market volatility is now behind us, and
    we believe that volatility will continue to decline as municipal new
    issuance declines and investor demand for tax-exempt income continues to
    increase. In 1993, there was $300 billion in municipal issuance; in
 
                                                                       CONTINUED

                         ------------------------------
 
<PAGE>
    contrast, new issuance in 1994 is likely to be approximately $140 to $170
    billion -- a reduction of nearly 50 percent. Once interest rates began to
    rise, issuance virtually disappeared.
 
        Based on our belief that the municipal market is unlikely to encounter
    significant market volatility, we continue to invest the Portfolio's
    holdings in longer-term issues with an average maturity of approximately 21
    years. We are not holding a large cash position in the Portfolio, and
    instead have invested its assets in high-quality municipal bonds. As of
    August 31, over half of the Portfolio's assets were invested in municipal
    bonds rated Aaa/AAA and Aa/AA.
 
        Callable and prerefunded bonds are still an ongoing source of concern
    for municipal investors. We are working very hard at keeping low (which we
    define as approximately 5%) the number of bonds in the Portfolio that have
    call dates within the next 15 to 18 months. A large number of callable bonds
    could potentially impact a fund's income stream fairly dramatically if it
    loses a lot of its older, higher coupon bonds.
 
        On a final note, we are pleased to tell you that Joseph Deane, your
    portfolio manager, continues to be recognized in the national press as one
    of the leading municipal bond portfolio managers in the country. In addition
    to his frequent appearances in The Wall Street Journal and The Bond Buyer,
    Joe recently was profiled in the October 3rd issue of Barron's.
 
        We appreciate your continued confidence in our management skills during
    this difficult market environment. We will continue to manage the Portfolio
    with the goal of providing investors with a competitive level of tax-free
    income consistent with a prudent, conservative approach to credit quality,
    and preservation of capital based on a total-return philosophy of managing
    assets. If you have any questions or comments about your investment in the
    Portfolio, please do not hesitate to contact either us or The Shareholder
    Services Group, Inc. at (800) 331-1710.
 
    Sincerely,
 
    Heath B. McLendon                    Joseph P. Deane
    CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD                VICE PRESIDENT AND

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
   Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. (the "Portfolio") was organized as a
corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 9, 1992 and is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-diversified,
closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. The policy described below is followed consistently by the
Portfolio in the valuation of its securities.
 
   PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments are valued by The Boston Company Advisors,
Inc. after consultation with an independent pricing service (the "Service")
approved by the Portfolio'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, based on
methods that include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal obligations
of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from
dealers; and general market conditions. 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.
