                               FEBRUARY 28, 1995 
  
    DEAR SHAREHOLDER: 
  
        The last six months could once again be characterized as the worst of 
    times and the best of times in the bond market. The municipal market 
    experienced a rather chaotic selloff in October and November that in 
    retrospect made little sense. The market subsequently began to realize that 
    the fears of significant inflation and much more stringent Federal Reserve 
    Board policy which would drive interest rates higher was severely 
    exaggerated. The economic numbers began to gradually ease and the 
    possibility of that elusive "soft landing" has become more realistic. 
  
        This change in attitude has had a profound impact on the municipal 
    marketplace. It went from a tax-loss driven wave of selling in mid-November 
    to a market that is now performing brilliantly and starved for new 
    issuance. We expect this tight supply condition to be with us for the
    next several years, and contribute to strong relative performance by the
    municipal market. 
  
        The most recent rally vindicates the investment strategy that we have 
    been pursuing. As the market weakened, we used the selloff to reposition
    the fund with maturities that were somewhat longer, and to increase its
    holdings of discount coupons (bonds that are selling below their redemption 
    value). In a market rally, discount-coupon bonds provide two important 
    features: They will clearly be the best-performing asset class in an up
    market and also provide a great deal of call protection, which reduces
    the chance of having bonds called away as interest rates decline. Until 
    we see real inflationary trends or a significant pickup in economic
    activity, we will maintain this strategy of investing in high-quality, 
    discount bonds. 
  
        We have attempted to position the Fund in essential service revenue 
    bonds with a preference for credits rated AA or higher. At the end of this 
    quarter, 56% of the Fund's assets were rated AA or AAA. Orange 
  
                                                                     CONTINUED

    County has once again pointed out that there are still risks in the 
    municipal market to be avoided, and that the real value is found in the 
    highest quality, not the highest yields. 
  
        The Fund's investment performance in the latest quarter was what we had 
    anticipated it would be in a better market environment. The net asset value 
    of the Fund increased by $1.00 per share during the past three months, to 
    $12.07 from $11.07. We would expect the net asset value to continue to 
    improve if the Federal Reserve Board is successful in engineering a "soft 
    landing." 
  
        We look forward to reporting to you in May in the Fund's quarterly 
    report to investors. Should you have any questions about your investment in 
    the Fund, please call The Shareholder Services Group at (800) 331-1710.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                         FEBRUARY 28, 1995 (UNAUDITED) 
  
1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. 
   Managed Municipals Portfolio II Inc. (the "Portfolio") was organized as a 
corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 23, 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 policies described below are followed consistently by the 
Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles. 
  
   PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments are valued by The Boston Company Advisors, 
Inc. ("Boston Advisors") 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. 
  
   SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are 
recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or 
delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after trade date.
Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of 
identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. 
  
   DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the policy of the 
Portfolio to make monthly distributions of substantially of all its net 
investment income to shareholders. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be 
distributed to shareholders at least once a year. In addition, in order to 
avoid the application of a 4.00% nondeductible excise tax on certain
undistributed amounts of ordinary income and capital gains, the Portfolio may 
make an additional distribution shortly before December 31 in each year of any 
undistributed ordinary income or capital gains and expects to make any other 
distributions as are necessary to avoid the application of this tax. To the 
extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital losses and loss 
carryforwards, it is the policy of the Portfolio not to distribute such gains. 
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally

                   FEBRUARY 28, 1995 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) 
  
accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to
differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities 
held by the Portfolio, timing differences and differing characterization of
distributions made by the Portfolio. 
  
   FUTURES CONTRACTS: Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is 
required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal 
to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the "initial 
margin." Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the 
Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the 
contract. 
  
   For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement amount
of the contract is included in the Portfolio's Statement of Assets and
Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. For long futures 
positions, the asset is marked-to-market daily. For short futures positions, the
liability is marked-to-market daily. The daily changes in the contract are 
recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Portfolio recognizes a realized
gain or loss when the contract is closed. 
  
   There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts as a 
hedging device. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds 
with the value of their underlying instruments or index, which may not
correlate with the change in value of the hedged investments. In addition, 
there is the risk that the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing
transaction because of an illiquid secondary market. 
  
   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Portfolio to qualify as a 
regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interest of 
its shareholders, by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and by 
distributing substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, 
no Federal income tax provision is required. 
  
2.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS. 
   The Portfolio has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the 
"Advisory Agreement") with Greenwich Street Advisors, a division of Mutual 
Management Corp., which was transferred effective November 7, 1994 to Smith 
Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"). Mutual Management Corp. and
SBMFM are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Smith Barney Holdings Inc. 
("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Travelers Inc. 
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Portfolio pays a monthly fee at the annual
rate of 0.70% of the value of its average daily net assets.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                   FEBRUARY 28, 1995 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) 
  
   The Portfolio has entered into an administration agreement with SBMFM 
(formerly known as Smith, Barney Advisers, Inc.). Under this agreement, the 
Portfolio pays a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the value of the 
Portfolio's average daily net assets. 
  
   The Portfolio and SBMFM have entered into a sub-administration agreement
(the "Sub-Administration Agreement") with Boston Advisors, an indirect wholly 
owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation ("Mellon"). Under the 
Sub-Administration Agreement, SBMFM pays Boston Advisors a portion of its 
administration fee at a rate agreed upon from time to time between SBMFM and 
Boston Advisors. 
  
   No officer, director, or employee of Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney"), or 
any of its affiliates receives any compensation from the Portfolio for serving 
as a Director or officer of the Portfolio. The Portfolio pays each Director,
who is not an officer, director or employee of Smith Barney or any of its 
affiliates, $5,000 per annum plus $500 per meeting attended and reimburses each 
such Director for travel and out-of-pocket expenses. 
  
   Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of Mellon, serves as the Portfolio's custodian. The Shareholder Services Group, 
Inc., a subsidiary of First Data Corporation, serves as the Portfolio's
transfer agent. 
  
3.   SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS. 
   For the six months ended February 28, 1995, cost of purchases and proceeds 
from sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) 
aggregated $70,912,062 and $77,425,367, respectively. 
  
   At February 28, 1995, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and 
depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax 
cost amounted to $3,127,519 and $1,422,845, respectively. 
  
4.   PORTFOLIO SHARES. 
   At February 28, 1995, 500 million shares of common stock, with a par value
of $.001 per share, were authorized. 
  
   For the six months ended February 28, 1995 and the year ended August 31, 
1994, there were no issuance or redemption of the Fund's common stock. 
  
   As of August 31, 1994, the estimated offering costs were reduced by $102,055 
to reflect the actual offering costs incurred.
