                                 Portfolio Inc.

                                 August 31, 1999


     Dear Shareholder:

         We are pleased to provide the first quarter report for the Managed
     Municipal Portfolio, Inc. ("Fund") for the period ended August 31, 1999.
     Over the three-month period covered by this report, the Fund distributed
     income dividends totaling $0.15 per share. The table below shows the
     annualized distribution rate and three-month total return based on the
     Fund's August 31, 1999 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
           -------------         ------------------     --------------
           $11.34 (NAV)              5.29%                  (3.86)%
           $10.00 (NYSE)             6.00%                  (2.24)%

         In comparison, general closed-end municipal bond funds posted an
     average total return on NAV of a negative 2.32% for the same time period,
     as reported by Lipper, Inc. (Lipper is a major fund-tracking organization.)

     Municipal Bond Market Update

         We believe that the municipal bond market is approaching a temporary
     bottom. The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") has implemented two monetary
     policy adjustments -- a 25 basis point increase in June and a 25 basis
     point increase in August -- and we believe rate increases should remain
     unchanged for the foreseeable future. We also believe that fixed income
     markets are returning to "normal" in the aftermath of forced liquidations
     by major hedge funds and negatively impacted global markets in late 1998.
     In our opinion, long U.S. Treasury yields represent good value and
     municipal bonds are trading at roughly 95%-96% of governments. This
     comparison helps to substantiate the fact that municipal securities are
     trading at low valuations relative to governments

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

                                       1

     since, under normal market conditions, municipal securities have
     historically yielded roughly 85% of similar maturity Treasuries.

         As a result of last year's crisis (and ensuing credit crunch), the
     spread between the yields on municipal securities and Treasuries have
     widened. The robust state of the U.S. economy contributed to the
     second-highest municipal securities issuance volume in history in 1998. The
     ability of the market to absorb such high volume indicates the steady
     demand for tax-exempt investments and reflects overall investor confidence.

         The recent upward pressure on municipal yields appears to result
     largely from two factors: 1) the lack of demand for municipal bonds by the
     traditional institutional sectors that have supported the municipal market;
     and 2) additional pressures resulting from the pre-Y2K avalanche of issues
     in the taxable market, which has attracted institutional investors who
     would otherwise buy municipals.

         Yields have rebounded sharply, up nearly three quarters of 1% since the
     beginning of 1999. The slope of the municipal yield curve has remained
     extremely steep, with 20-year municipals yielding roughly 120 basis points
     more than one-year paper. (The yield curve measures the difference between
     short- and long-term rates.) In the U.S. Treasury market, the difference
     between one-year and 30-year bond yields is only 80 basis points.

     Fund's Investment Strategy
         As of August 31, 1999, about 89% of the Fund's holdings were rated
     investment grade (BBB/Baa and higher)** by either Standard & Poor's Ratings
     Group or Moody's Investors Service Inc., with approximately 51% of the Fund
     invested in AAA/Aaa-rated bonds, the highest possible rating.

         We maintain a positive outlook on municipal securities. Additionally,
     we believe that buying bonds with relatively longer maturities (20 to 30
     years) and lower coupons (5% and a bit lower) will enable us to be more
     aggressively positioned for a possible drop in long-term interest rates
     later this year.

         Until recently, our investment strategy had been focused primarily on
     buying high-grade, short-maturity bonds in anticipation of the ensuing
     increase in interest rates. Currently, with recent interest rate increases
     behind us, we are aggressive buyers of longer, high-grade discount bonds.

     ---------
     *Investment-grade bonds are those rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's
      Investors Service, Inc. or AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard and Poor's
      Rating Group, or that have an equivalent rating by any nationally
      recognized statistical rating organization, or determined by the manager
      to be of equivalent quality.
                                             2

     We believe that investor sentiment has weakened and the market has taken on
     a negative psychology.

         The Fund has initiated a program whereby it may repurchase shares of
     its common stock in the open market. It is the Fund's intention to
     repurchase shares of its stock at such times, prices and amounts deemed
     advisable. There can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will
     continue this program.

     Municipal Bond Market Outlook
         Our outlook for the municipal bond market is optimistic. We think that
     the actions of the Fed were preemptively conservative. It is our opinion
     that inflation should remain in check, at least in the near term. A
     possible easing of economic activity as a result of Y2K ramifications could
     prove positive for fixed income markets.

         Looking ahead, we believe that the U.S. economy should remain strong in
     the coming months with muted inflationary pressures. Recent economic
     conditions have created opportunities for municipal securities to catch up
     with Treasuries, and we continue to see good value at the long end of the
     market.

         With long-term municipal bond yields in the 5.75% range and inflation
     under control, "real," inflation-adjusted yields on longer intermediate and
     long-term municipals are quite attractive. Following the Fed's August 24,
     1999 short-term interest rate increase of 0.25%, we do not anticipate
     further policy change for the remainder of 1999 amid optimism that the Fed
     has acted sufficiently to curb inflationary pressures. As always, we will
     be monitoring these events closely.

         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

     Take Advantage of the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan!
     Did you know that Fund investors who reinvest their dividends are taking
     advantage of one of the most effective wealth-building tools available
     today? Systematic investments put time to work for you through the strength
     of compounding.

     As an investor in the Fund, you can participate in its Dividend
     Reinvestment Plan ("Plan"), a convenient, simple and efficient way to
     reinvest your dividends and capital gains, if any, in additional shares of
     the Fund. Below is a short summary of how the Plan works.

     Plan Summary
     If you are a Plan participant who has not elected to receive your dividends
     in the form of a cash payment, then your dividend and capital gain
     distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the
     Fund.

     The number of common stock shares in the Fund you will receive in lieu of a
     cash dividend is determined in the following manner. If the market price of
     the common stock is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per share
     ("NAV") on the determination date, you will be issued shares by the Fund at
     a price reflecting the NAV, or 95% of the market price, whichever is
     greater.

     If the market price is less than the NAV at the time of valuation (the
     close of business on the determination date), or if the Fund declares a
     dividend or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, the Plan Agent
     (First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.) will buy common stock for your
     account in the open market.

     If the Plan Agent begins to purchase additional shares in the open market
     and the market price of the shares subsequently rises above the previously
     determined NAV before the purchases are completed, the Plan Agent will
     attempt to terminate purchases and have the Fund issue the remaining
     dividend or distribution in shares at the greater of the previously
     determined NAV or 95% of the market price. In that case, the number of Fund
     shares you receive 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.

     Restated Plan Adopted
     A more complete description of the current Plan appears in this report
     beginning on page 27. The descriptions herein are based on a restated
     version of the Plan, which was recently adopted to reflect current
     practices of the Plan Agent and for the purpose of standardizing the terms
     among all closed-end Mutual Funds managed by SSB Citi Fund Management LLC,
     formerly known as SSBC Fund Management Inc.

     To find out more detailed information about the Plan and about how you can
     participate, please call First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. at (800)
     331-1710.

                                  Bond Ratings
                                  (unaudited)

The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth below:

Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("Standard and 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 they are 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 Investors Service, Inc. ("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 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 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 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 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.

                                  (unaudited)

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 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, 1999, 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.

     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

     SSB Citi Fund Management LLC ("SSBC"), formerly known as SSBC Fund
Management Inc., a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"),
acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays SSBC 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.

     SSBC 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 Salomon Smith
Barney Inc., another subsidiary of SSBH.

     4.   Investments

     For the three months ended August 31, 1999, the aggregate cost of purchases
and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

================================================================================
Purchases                                                          $ 40,046,090
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales                                                                40,174,850
================================================================================

     At August 31, 1999, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were substantially
as follows:

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                      $  8,797,791
Gross unrealized depreciation                                       (17,001,729)

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

     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

                                      22

                             (unaudited) (continued)

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 August 31, 1999, the Fund had no open futures contracts.


     6.   Capital Shares

     At August 31, 1999, the Fund had 500,000,000 shares of common stock
authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share.

     On June 21, 1999, the Fund commenced a share repurchase plan. As of August
31, 1999, repurchased shares totalled 79,400.


     7.   Securities Traded on a When-Issued Basis

     In a when-issued transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing securities for
which specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade. Securities
purchased on a when-issued basis are not settled until they are delivered to the
Fund. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into the when-issued transaction,
the custodian maintains cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high
grade debt obligations in a segregated account equal in value to the purchase
price of the when-issued security. These transactions are subject to market
fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for
other securities.

     At August 31, 1999, the Fund did not hold any when-issued securities.


     8.   Capital Loss Carryforward

     At May 31, 1999, the Fund had, for Federal income tax purposes,
approximately $2,565,000 of unused capital loss carryforwards available to
offset future capital gains expiring May 31, 2007. 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.

                           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 purchasing 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 determination date (generally, the record date
for the distribution), Plan participants will be issued shares of common stock
by the Fund at a price equal to the greater of net asset value 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 (which is the close of business on the
determination date), 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 NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants' 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 as
of the valuation time, 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 as
of the valuation time 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 First Data may exceed the
net asset value of the common stock as of the valuation time, 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 such net asset value. First
Data will begin to purchase common stock on the open market as soon as
practicable after the determination date for the dividend or capital gains
distribution, but in no event shall such

                           Dividend Reinvestment Plan
                             (unaudited)(continued)


purchases continue later than 30 days after the payment date for such dividend
or distribution, or the record date for a succeeding dividend or distribution,
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 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 the 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 any brokerage commissions actually 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 9699, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-9699 or by telephone at
1-800-451-2010.

     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
