Dear Shareholder:

     We are pleased to provide the third quarter report for the Managed
Municipals Portfolio Inc. ("Portfolio") for the nine months ended February 28,
1998. Over the nine-month period covered by this report, the Portfolio
distributed income dividends totaling $0.46 per share. The table below shows the
annualized distribution rate and nine-month total return based on the
Portfolio's February 28, 1998 net asset value ("NAV") per share and its New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") closing price:

     In comparison, general closed-end municipal bond funds posted an average
total return on NAV of 8.10% for the same time period, as reported by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper is a major independent fund-tracking
organization.)

Municipal Bond Market Update

     If there was one overriding trend in the bond market over the past year, it
had to be the favorable inflation environment despite strong economic growth and
a relatively tight labor market. This is clearly the first time in my career as
a portfolio manager that inflation has stayed subdued in the face of both of
these events.

     The bond market takes its ultimate cue from inflation and bonds experienced
a meaningful rally during the past twelve months. A positive inflation outlook
continues today and that should, in our view, provide a


- ------------------
*    This distribution assumes a current monthly income dividend rate of $0.05
     per share for twelve months.


- -------------------------------------[LOGO]-------------------------------------
                                       1
 
reasonable backdrop for municipal bonds in the months ahead. And while municipal
bonds have lagged a little on the upside versus taxable bonds, the after-tax
spread between municipal and taxable bonds are very reasonable by historical
standards. In our opinion, the difference in spreads between municipal and
taxable bonds should make municipal bonds less vulnerable to any short-term rate
increase if it occurs.

Fund's Investment Strategy

     As of February 28, 1998, just over 87% of the Portfolio's holdings were
rated investment grade (BBB/Baa and higher) by either Standard & Poor's Ratings
Service or Moody's Investor Service Inc., with approximately 56% of the
Portfolio invested in AAA/Aaa bonds, the highest possible rating.
(Investment-grade bonds are rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's Investors
Service Inc. or AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service, or
within the highest four ratings categories by any other nationally recognized
statistical rating organization, or are determined by the manager to be of
equivalent quality.) The Portfolio's largest holdings are concentrated in
transportation bonds (16.5%), hospital bonds (15.2%), general obligation bonds
(11.5%) and water and sewer bonds (10.5%) because we believe they offer good
relative values.

Municipal Bond Market Outlook

     We anticipate that the municipal bond market over the next six months will
be rather benign, yet not filled with dramatic upside potential. However, we
think there may be some upside potential in the market, especially if the
long-term U.S. government bond drifts down toward 5 1/2%.

     We believe that you cannot just manage for yield alone, and that is why we
concentrate so much on total return. By making adjustments to a fund's average
maturity, you can try to lessen the impact of volatility or take advantage of
it. We think you are going to miss tremendous opportunities or make yourself
more vulnerable to losses when you do not manage for total return.

     Over the long term, you need to generate high total returns in order to
provide shareholders with a substantial enough stream of overall distributions,
especially when interest rates are heading down. In order to


- -------------------------------------[LOGO]-------------------------------------
                                       2
 
succeed in today's municipal bond market, in baseball terms, you need to hit
singles and doubles and not try to always hit home runs. We will, therefore,
continue to apply our best efforts on your behalf and provide you with what we
believe is the best investment vehicle possible consistent with our total-return
philosophy.

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

Sincerely,


/s/ HEATH B. MCLENDON             /s/ JOSEPH P. DEANE

                                  Bond Ratings
                                   (unaudited)
================================================================================


All ratings are by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("Standard & Poor's"),
except those identified by an asterisk (*) which 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 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

     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 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
an 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 Fund'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.

     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 received or made 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).

     At February 28, 1998, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

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

     Under the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("Plan"), a shareholder whose
shares of Common Stock are registered in his 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-dealers for details
regarding reinvestment. All distributions to 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. When the
market price of the Common Stock is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per
share of the Common Stock on the date of valuation, Plan participants will be
issued shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the greater of net asset value
most recently determined as described below under "Net Asset Value" or 95% of
the market price of the Common Stock.

     If the market price of the Common Stock is less than the net asset value of
the Common Stock at the time of valuation, or if the Fund 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 Fund to issue the remaining portion of the 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
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 Fund
issues the remaining shares. To the extent First Data is unable to stop open
market purchases and cause the Fund to issue the remaining shares, the average
per share purchase price paid by the Purchasing Agent 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 Fund at net asset value. First Data will begin to purchase Common Stock
on the open market as soon as practicable after the payment date of the dividend
or capital gains distribution, but in no event shall such purchases continue
later than 30 days after that date, except when necessary to comply with
applicable provisions of the federal securities laws.

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

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

     Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes to it are desirable.
The Fund 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 Fund'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, Inc.,
P.O. Box 8030, Boston, Massachusetts 02266 or by telephone at 1-800-331-1710.

     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
