Dear Shareholder:

     We are pleased to provide the first quarter report for the Managed
Municipals Portfolio II Inc. ("Portfolio") for the three months ended November
30, 1997. Over the three months covered by this report, the Portfolio
distributed income dividends totaling $0.17 per share. The table below shows the
annualized distribution rate and three-month total return based on the
Portfolio's November 30, 1997 net asset value ("NAV") per share and its New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") closing price:

</TABLE>

     In comparison, general closed-end municipal bond funds posted an average
total return based on NAV of 2.71% for the same time period, as reported by
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"). (Lipper is a major independent
fund-tracking organization.)

Municipal Bond Market Update

     The municipal bond market is in the midst of a powerful rally that began in
early spring. Yet municipal bonds have not rallied quite as much as government
bonds because this fall has seen a prolific issuance of refunding issues. All of
this simply means that municipals are very attractive on an after-tax basis
compared to government bonds at this time. We have, therefore, been fully
invested with an emphasis on high-quality issues because of the little yield
pick-up available from lower-rated issues. We tend to be value-oriented
investors. Quality in our view is coming at a small premium over Baa and
lower-rated credits.

- ----------
     * This distribution assumes monthly dividends at the current rate of $0.056
per share for twelve months.

     The powerful rally in municipals has created some very interesting
investment opportunities. The long maturities in our marketplace are priced
almost even with maturities that are considerably shorter. If we can maintain
our coupon income yet take much less interest rate risk, we are delighted to do
so. As long as the yield curve stays this "flat," we will continue to maintain a
high grade profile, and also to seek to lessen our interest rate volatility in
today's lower interest-rate environment. We have been waiting for this market
opportunity for a while. Consistent with one of our key investment strategies
after large rallies, we tend to shorten up maturities a lot; after large
declines, we usually become more aggressive.

Portfolio's Investment Strategy

     As of November 30, 1997, approximately 82% of the Portfolio's holdings were
rated investment grade by either Standard & Poor's Ratings Service or Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., with roughly 50% of the Portfolio invested in AAA/Aaa
bonds, the highest possible rating. (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 & Poor's Ratings Service, or have an equivalent rating by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or determined by the
manager to be of equivalent quality.) The Portfolio's largest holdings are
concentrated in transportation bonds (about 15%), hospital bonds (roughly 14%)
and water and sewer bonds (approximately 11%).

Municipal Bond Market Outlook

     The fundamental outlook for bonds is quite good. The U.S. economy continues
to produce healthy results without fanning the flames of inflation. And while
inflation remains extremely low, with economic uncertainty prevalent in
Southeast Asia, we expect it to stay that way for the next several quarters.
Federal Reserve Board monetary policy appears to be on hold for the moment, and
tax-exempt bonds are in decent supply and are attractively priced. All of those
factors should add up to a municipal bond investor-friendly climate over the
next quarter or two. While we remain committed to our conservative investment
strategy, discipline will continue to be the main determinant of your
Portfolio's maturity structure.

================================================================================
                                  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 that are rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by
               Standard & Poor's. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal
               is extremely strong.

AA        --   Bonds that are rated "AA" have a very strong capacity to pay
               interest and repay principal and differ from the highest rated
               issue only in a small degree.

A         --   Bonds that are 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 bonds in higher rated categories.

BBB       --   Bonds that are 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 that are 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 is 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 Security Ratings
================================================================================

SP-1      --   Standard & Poor's highest rating indicating very strong or strong
               capacity to pay principal and interest; those issued determined
               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.

A-2       --   Standard & Poor's second highest commercial paper and 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 II Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland corporation, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
non-diversified, closed-end investment management 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 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
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 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 August 31, 1997, reclassifications
were made to undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized
gains 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; (h) 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; 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 gains distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are
declared and paid at least annually.

     3. Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other
        Transactions

     Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), formerly known as Smith Barney Mutual
Funds Management Inc., a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc.
("SSBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays MMC an advisory
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.

     MMC 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., another subsidiary of SSBH.

     4. Investments

     For the three months ended November 30, 1997, the aggregate cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but
excluding short-term securities) were as follows:

<TABLE>
================================================================================

     At November 30, 1997, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and

as follows:

     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, 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 November 30, 1997, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

     6. Repurchase Agreements

     The Fund purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S. government
securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to resell the
securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next business day) at
an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Fund requires continual maintenance
of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the
repurchase price.

     7. Capital Shares

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

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

     Under the Fund'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 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 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 Common Stock is equal to or exceeds the net asset value
per share on the date of valuation, Plan participants will be issued shares of
Common Stock at a price equal to the greater of (1) the net asset value per
share most recently determined or (2) 95% of the 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, 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, and 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 by issuing 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 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, 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.

     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, P.O. Box
1376, Boston, Massachusetts 02104 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
