Dear Shareholder:

      We are pleased to provide the quarterly report for the Managed Municipals
Portfolio Inc. ("Portfolio") for the three months ended August 31, 1997. During
the quarter, the Portfolio distributed income dividends totaling $0.18 per
share. The table below shows the annualized distribution rate and three-month
total return based on the Portfolio's August 31, 1997 net asset value (NAV) per
share and its New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closing price:

               Price                   Annualized                 Three-Month
             Per Share             Distribution Rate*            Total Return
             ---------             ------------------            ------------
           $12.20 (NAV)                   5.51%                      4.07%
           $11.813 (NYSE)                 5.69%                      3.15%



      In comparison, general closed-end municipal bond funds posted an average
total return on NAV of 3.47% for the same time period, as reported by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper is a major fund-tracking organization.)

MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET UPDATE

      The past twelve months in the municipal bond market can be described in
three phases. The first phase was a meaningful rally that began late summer 1996
and culminated in Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") Chairman Alan Greenspan's
"irrational exuberance" speech in early December. The second phase was a notable
increase in rates because of subsequent fears of a major Fed rate action. The
final phase, culminating in today's market, is one in which rates are back to
the levels present before the Fed chairman's speech. We believe that today's
municipal bond prices are quite appropriate, given the low inflation that
continues to be evident.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

      The Portfolio continues its investment strategy of selecting coupons and
maturities that should benefit the most from a further decline in long-term
interest rates. The Portfolio's average weighted maturity is approximately 23
years. In addition, in every market downturn we have sought out coupons that
would benefit from further drops in interest rates.

      As of this report, the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield is approximately
6.7%, and it could decline to 6% in the near future if inflation remains at
today's low levels. Given our expectations for a continued moderate U.S.
economy, we continue to emphasize longer-term, deeper-discount bonds with very
high credit quality.

      As of August 31, 1997, approximately 89.1% of the Portfolio's holdings
were rated investment grade (BBB/Baa and higher) by either Standard & Poor's
Corporation or Moody's Investors Service Inc., with about 55.4% of the Portfolio
invested in AAA/Aaa bonds, the highest possible rating. (Standard & Poor's and
Moody's are two major credit reporting and bond rating agencies.) The
Portfolio's largest holdings are concentrated in transportation bonds (23.0%),
water/sewer bonds (15.9%), general obligation bonds (12.6%) and hospital bonds
(8.8%).

MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET OUTLOOK

      Going forward, we expect a drop in long-term rates, probably sooner rather
than later. The inflation rate is still key for us, and until we begin to see
that deteriorate we will continue to maintain our positive outlook on municipal
bonds.

      Municipal bonds have continued to be in tight supply, and there is little
reason to believe there is a major supply spike on the horizon. Municipals have
outperformed the taxable bond market in the past year and will be likely to
continue to do so in the near future. In our view, the municipal bond market at
today's levels is very competitively priced and should provide investors with
attractive after-tax yields. Furthermore, municipal bonds may have some capital
appreciation possibilities if the inflation numbers continue on today's steady
path.

                                  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.

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.

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

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, 1997, reclassifications were made to the Portfolio's
capital accounts to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and gains
available for distributions under income tax regulations; 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.

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

================================================================================
Purchases                                                           $138,848,274

Sales                                                                136,979,759
================================================================================

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

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                      $ 21,030,835
Gross unrealized depreciation                                       (19,777,308)

Net unrealized appreciation                                        $  1,253,527
===============================================================================

      5. FUTURES CONTRACTS

      Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are
recognized as assets. Securities equal to the initial margin amount are
segregated by the custodian in the name of the broker. Additional securities are
also segregated up to the current market value of the futures contracts. 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,

                             (unaudited) (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 August 31, 1997, there were no open futures contracts.

      6. CAPITAL SHARES 

      During the three months ended August 31, 1997, capital stock transactions
were as follows:

                                                         Shares          Amount

                           DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
                                   (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Under the Portfolio's Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("Plan"), a shareholder
whose shares of Common Stock are registered in his or her own name will have all
distributions from the Fund 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 shares under
the Plan, unless the service is not provided by the broker or nominee or the
shareholder elects to receive distributions in cash. Investors who own Common
Stock registered in Street Name should consult their broker for details
regarding reinvestment. All distributions to Fund shareholders who do not
participate in the Plan will be paid by check mailed directly to the record
holder by or under the direction of First Data as dividend paying agent.

      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 at the time shares are valued for purposes of determining the
number of shares equivalent to the cash dividend or capital gains distributions,
Plan participants will be issued shares of Common Stock valued at the greater of
(i) the net asset of value per share most recently determined or (ii) 95% of the
then current market value.

      If the net asset value per share of Common Stock at the time of valuation
exceeds the market price of the Common Stock or if the Portfolio declares a
dividend or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, First Data will buy
Common Stock in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere for
the participant accounts. If, following the commencement of the purchases and
before First Data has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net
asset value of the Common Stock, First Data will attempt to terminate purchases
in the open market and cause the Portfolio to issue the remaining dividend or
distribution in shares at a price equal to the greater of (a) net asset value or
(b) 95% of the then-current market price. In this case, the number of shares of
Common Stock received by a Plan participant will be based on the weighted
average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at
which the Portfolio issues the remaining shares. To the extent First Data is
unable to stop open market purchases and cause the Portfolio to issue the
remaining shares, the average per share purchase price paid by First Data may
exceed the net asset value of the Common Stock, resulting in the acquisition of
fewer shares than if the dividend or capital gains distribution had been paid in
Common Stock issued by the Portfolio at net asset value. First Data will begin
to purchase Common Stock on the open market as soon as practicable after the
record date of the dividend or capital gains distribution, but in no event later
than 30 days after the payment date

thereof, except when necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the
federal securities laws.

      First Data maintains all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes
written confirmations of all transactions in each account, including information
needed by a shareholder for personal and tax records. The automatic
reinvestments 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. Common Stock in the account of each Plan participant will
be held by First Data in uncertificated form in the name of each Plan
participant, and each shareholder's proxy will include those shares purchased
pursuant to the Plan.

      Plan participants are subject to no charge for reinvesting dividends and
capital gains distributions. First Data's fees for handling the reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains distributions will be paid by the Portfolio. No
brokerage charges apply with respect to shares of Common Stock issued directly
by the Portfolio as a result of dividends or capital gains distributions payable
either in Common Stock or in cash. Each Plan participant will, however, bear a
proportionate share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to open
market purchases made in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or
capital gains distributions.

      Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes to it are desirable.
The Portfolio reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as applied to
any dividend or capital gains distribution paid subsequent to written notice of
the change sent to participants at least 30 days before the record date for the
dividend or capital gains distribution. The Plan also may be amended or
terminated by First Data, with the Portfolio's prior written consent, on at
least 30 days' written notice to Plan participants. All correspondence
concerning the Plan should be directed by mail to First Data Investor Services
Group, P.O. Box 5128, Westborough, Massachusetts 01581-5128 or by telephone at
(617) 573-9300.

      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.
