Dear Shareholder:

     We are pleased to provide you with the quarterly report for the Managed
Municipals Portfolio Inc. ("Portfolio") for the nine months ended February 28,
1997. During the past nine months, the Portfolio distributed income dividends
totaling $0.48 per share and a capital gain dividend of $0.295 per share. The
table below shows the annualized distribution rates and nine-month total returns
based on the Portfolio's February 28, 1997 net asset value (NAV) per share and
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)closing price:

</TABLE>

     In comparison, closed end municipal bond funds posted an average total
return of 8.05% on NAV for the same time period, as reported by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. is a major fund
tracking organization.) The Fund's underperformance on NAV was primarily due to
the drop in value of certain pulp recycling facility bonds held by the
Portfolio. The decline in the value of these bonds was caused by the decline in
the market price of pulp.


      Market Update and Portfolio Strategy

     The year ended February 28, 1997 proved to be a volatile one for both the
municipal and the U.S. government bond markets. In early 1996, a significant
bond market sell-off was precipitated by a pick-up in inflationary fears that
was caused by unexpected strength in the U.S. economy and concerns that the
Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") would

tighten rates in response. In retrospect, those concerns were unfounded because
Fed monetary policy did not change throughout 1996. In fact, as U.S. economic
growth moderated and concerns about Fed tightening eased, bond prices improved
significantly.

     This bond market rally was in full swing in early December when Fed
Chairman Alan Greenspan made his now infamous comments concerning "irrational
exuberance" in the financial markets. In our view, Greenspan's comments caused a
rise in U.S. interest rates that persists to this day.

     In the early part of 1996, we were extremely cautious about the municipal
bond market and the Portfolio's holdings reflected that caution. During that
time, we concentrated on municipal bonds with longer coupons and shorter
maturities and we maintained a moderate cash position, quite a defensive
strategy.

     However, as the year unfolded and high-grade municipal bonds became
available with yields as high as 6.25%, we redeployed the Portfolio's cash and
moved to build a more interest-rate sensitive portfolio. Our primary focus was
to purchase high grade, discount coupon bonds with somewhat longer maturities
that could enhance the Portfolio's performance as rates moved lower. We continue
to maintain that same focus in the Portfolio today because of our belief that
the rise in rates caused by Greenspan's comments and the concurrent rise in bond
rates should take a little froth off the economic numbers. This in turn should
enable municipal bonds to rally from today's attractive rate levels.


Portfolio's Investment Strategy

     During the past quarter, the Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. focused on
the transportation, utility, and water and sewer sectors because we believe they
offered good relative values. At the end of February, the Portfolio's weighted
average maturity was approximately 23 years. In addition, as of February 28,
1997, approximately 86% of the Portfolio's holdings were rated investment grade
by either Standard & Poor's Corporation or Moody's Investors Services Inc., with
43% of the Portfolio invested in AAA bonds, the highest possible rating.
(Standard & Poor's and Moody's are two major credit reporting and bond rating
agencies.)


Market Outlook

     We believe that low inflation and some moderation of recent economic
activity should be positive for interest rates for the balance of

1997. Notwithstanding any increase by the Fed in short-term rates, the prices of
long bonds today relative to the rate of inflation bodes well for municipal
bonds as the year progresses. Until we see a significant increase in inflation
fundamentals, we remain positive about the municipal bond market's prospects.

     In closing, thank you for investing in Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. We
look forward to continuing to help you achieve your financial goals.

      Sincerely,

                                  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 "BB" 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 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 bonds 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.

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

     Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland corporation, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
non-diversified, closed-end management investment company.

     The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are:
(a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities are
valued at the mean between bid and ask prices provided 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 or less
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) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date; (g) 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; (h) the
character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. At May 31, 1996, reclassifications were made to the Fund's capital
accounts to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and gains
available for distributions under income tax regulations. Net investment income,
net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this change; 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, 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 in this change.

     2. 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 gain distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are
declared and paid at least annually.


     3. Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other
        Transactions

     Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBH"), through its Greenwich Street Advisors division,
acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays SBMFM a fee calculated at
an annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. This fee is
calculated daily and paid monthly.

     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; this fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly.

     All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of Smith Barney
Inc.

     4. Investments

     For the nine months ended February 28, 1997, the aggregate cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but
excluding short-term securities) were as follows:

      5.   Futures Contracts

      Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are
recognized as assets. The initial margin is segregated by the custodian and is
noted in the schedule of investments. During the period the futures contract is
open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or
losses by "marking-to-market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of
the contract at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are
made or received and recognized as assets due from or liabilities due to broker,
depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the
contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and
the Fund's basis in the contract. The Fund enters into such contracts to hedge a
portion of its portfolio. The Fund bears the market risk that arises from
changes in the value of the financial instruments and securities indices
(futures contracts) and the credit risk should a counterparty fail to perform
under such contracts.

      At February 28, 1997, there were no open futures contracts.

                           Dividend Reinvestment Plan
                                   (unaudited)
================================================================================

     Under the Portfolio's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), a
shareholder whose Common Stock is registered in his own name will have all
distributions reinvested automatically by First Data Investor Services Group,
Inc. ("First Data") 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 the net asset
value per share, participants will be issued shares of Common Stock valued at
the greater (i) the net asset value per share or (ii) 95% of the then current
market price. If the net asset value per share of Common Stock at the time of
valuation exceeds the market price of the Common Stock, First Data will buy
shares of the Fund's Common Stock on the open market, on the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. or elsewhere, as soon as practicable after 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.

     First Data may commence purchasing shares beginning on the record date for
the dividend or distribution. 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
First Data commences purchases in the open market and the market price of the
shares subsequently exceeds net asset value before the completion of the
purchases, First Data will attempt to terminate purchases in the open market and
cause the Fund to issue the remaining dividend or distribution in shares at 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.

                           Dividend Reinvestment Plan
                             (unaudited) (continued)
================================================================================

     Plan participants are not subject to any charge for reinvesting dividends
or capital gains distributions. Each Plan participant will, however, bear a
proportionate share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to First
Data's open market purchases of shares of Common Stock in connection with
reinvestment of 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 First Data in writing. A termination will be effective immediately if
notice is received by First Data 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, First Data 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 $5.00 fee assessed for liquidation service, plus brokerage commissions,
and First Data is authorized to sell a sufficient number of a participant's
shares to cover such amounts.

     Information concerning the Plan may be obtained from First Data at (800)
331-1710.

                      -----------------------------------

     Notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 23(c) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, that from time to time the Fund may purchase
shares of its common stock in the open market.
