                                           HIGH INCOME
                                              PORTFOLIO INC.
      Dear Shareholder:
 
        We are pleased to provide the annual report for the Managed
      High Income Portfolio Inc. (the "Portfolio") for the period ended February
      28, 1994. From inception on March 26, 1993 through the period ended
      February 28, 1994, the Portfolio paid dividends totaling $1.075, per
      share, generating a total return of 12.65%, based on a net asset value of
      $12.39 on February 28, 1994. The Portfolio's primary objective is to
      deliver a consistently high level of current income with total return its
      secondary objective. To achieve these goals, we use the consistent and
      disciplined strategy of investing primarily in bonds that are among the
      higher rated high yield issues, B rated or better and that have the
      potential of receiving an upgrade in credit rating over the next one to
      three years. We have also selectively added convertible bonds, preferred
      stocks, and common stocks to the Portfolio to further enhance total
      return. By emphasizing the improving credits in the high yield market we
      hope to generate not only attractive current dividend yields for the
      shareholder, but capital appreciation as well. We are not attempting to
      maximize yield regardless of credit risk, but rather to provide a
      competitive dividend yield with superior total return.
 
      MARKET AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
        The high yield market generated relatively strong performance over the
      past 12 months despite the general backup in interest rates in the fourth
      quarter of 1993 and so far in early 1994. The strengthening economic
      recovery has continued to benefit the corporate sector of the economy,
      especially the more leveraged high yield companies. We believe that after
      a very strong fourth quarter, the economy will settle
 
      1
<PAGE>
   into a moderate growth pattern with only a modest bias for higher
   inflation. Nevertheless, we believe the pervasive decline in interest
   rates has ended as the Federal Reserve Board moves to a more
   restrictive monetary policy. In fact, in the first quarter of 1994,
   the Federal Reserve raised the short-term Federal funds rate to 3.50%
   from 3.00% in two policy moves and signaled that further increases
   were likely given the strength of the economy. This shift towards
   higher interest rates will make fixed income investing more
   challenging.
 
     As noted previously, the Portfolio's total return from inception
   through February 28, 1994 was 12.65%. The Lehman Brothers High Yield
   Index, an unmanaged index which includes fixed-rate public, non-
   convertible debt issues, rated Ba1 or lower by Moody's returned
   12.52% for the same period. The Portfolio's performance was above the
   Lehman Brothers High Yield Index even though the Portfolio was not
   fully invested and did not pay dividends until the end of its second
   month of operation. Moreover, we accomplished our objectives without
   chasing the riskier lower tier (CCC-rated) issues which outperformed
   in this overheated period. As we have mentioned in previous
   commentaries, the Portfolio tends to avoid the lower tier issues
   given their higher default risk and greater price fluctuations.
   Instead, we focused on better quality issues which carry B or higher
   ratings. We try to emphasize improving credits in the Portfolio that
   are showing increased potential for credit rating upgrades.
 
     We continue to emphasize the more economically sensitive companies
   that are benefiting from the improving economy. This includes such
   industries as automobile manufacturing and related suppliers, general
   manufacturing, residential homebuilders, paper and forest products,
   containers, transportation, and metals and mining (especially steel
   producers). These industries continue to experience improving sales
   and profitability in reaction to the strengthening economic recovery.
 
   SUMMARY THOUGHTS
     We continue to believe that returns in the financial markets will
   be lower than previous years as interest rates gravitate higher. Our
   goal is to maintain the Portfolio's net asset value, minimizing
   downside price action and generate the most attractive current yield
   attainable without incurring undue credit risk. In this harsher
   environment, we believe this
 
    2
<PAGE>
   more defensive strategy will generate superior results. We appreciate
   your past support and look forward to satisfying your financial needs
   in what should prove to be a more challenging environment.
 
   Sincerely,

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    FEBRUARY 28, 1994
 
   1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  Managed High Income Portfolio Inc. (the "Portfolio") was organized as a
corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland on December 24, 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 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 high income 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.
 
    REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Portfolio may engage in repurchase agreement
  transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the
  Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an
  obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the
  obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield
  during the Portfolio's holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed
  rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the
  Portfolio's holding period. The value of the collateral is at least equal at
  all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including
  interest. In the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right
  to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to
  the Portfolio in the event that the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from
  exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the
  risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during

    FEBRUARY 28, 1994 (Continued)
  the period while the Portfolio seeks to assert its rights. The Portfolio's
  investment adviser, acting under the supervision of the Trust's Board of
  Trustees, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of
  those banks and dealers with which the Portfolio enters into repurchase
  agreements to evaluate potential risks.
 
    FOREIGN CURRENCY: The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in
  U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and
  liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates
  prevailing at the end of the period, and purchases and sales of investment
  securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of
  such transactions. Unrealized gains and losses which result from changes in
  foreign currency exchange rates have been included in the unrealized
  appreciation/(depreciation) of currencies and net other assets. Net realized
  foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates
  include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement
  date on investment transactions, foreign currency transactions and the
  difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the
  books of the Portfolio and the amount actually received. The portion of
  foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in the exchange
  rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade date
  is included in realized gain and losses on investment securities sold.
 
    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 all of 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% 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
 
  23
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    FEBRUARY 28, 1994 (Continued)
  capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
  regulations which may differ from generally 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 as a whole.
 
    Permanent differences incurred during the year ended February 28, 1994
  resulting from different book and tax accounting for currency gain/(loss) on
  certain securities were reclassifed from accumulated capital gains to
  undistributed net investment income.
 
    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 is required.
 
  2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY
     TRANSACTIONS.
  Prior to July 31, 1993, the Portfolio had entered into an investment advisory
agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc.
("Shearson Lehman Brothers") on behalf of Shearson Lehman Advisors, a member of
the Asset Management Group of Shearson Lehman Brothers. Under the Advisory
Agreement, the Portfolio paid a monthly fee at the annual rate of .90% of the
value of its average daily net assets.
 
    As of the close of business on July 30, 1993, The Travelers Inc.
  ("Travelers") (formerly known as Primerica Corporation) and Smith Barney,
  Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated completed the acquisition of substantially
  all of the domestic retail brokerage and asset management business of
  Shearson Lehman Brothers and Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated
  was renamed Smith Barney Shearson Inc. ("Smith Barney Shearson").
 
    As of the close of business on July 30, 1993, Greenwich Street Advisors, a
  division of Mutual Management Corp. which is controlled by Smith Barney
  Shearson Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), succeeded Shearson Lehman Advisors as
  the Portfolio's investment adviser. Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of
  Travelers. The new investment

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    FEBRUARY 28, 1994 (Continued)
  advisory agreement with Greenwich Street Advisors contains terms and
  conditions substantially similar to the Advisory Agreement and provides for
  the payment of fees at the same rate as was paid to the previous investment
  adviser.
 
    The Portfolio has also entered into an administration agreement
  ("Administration Agreement") with Boston Advisors, an indirect wholly owned
  subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation ("Mellon"). Under the Administration
  Agreement, the Portfolio pays a monthly fee at the annual rate of .20% of
  the value of its average daily
  net assets.
 
    No officer, director, or employee of Smith Barney Shearson or Boston
  Advisors or of any parent or subsidiary of those corporations 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 Shearson or Boston Advisors or any of their
  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 year ended February 28, 1994, cost of purchases and proceeds from
sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated
$981,173,348 and $513,270,251, respectively.
 
    At February 28, 1994, gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in
  which there was an excess of value over tax cost amounted to $13,949,325,
  and gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an
  excess of tax cost over value amounted to $4,619,642.
 
  4. PORTFOLIO SHARES.
  At February 28, 1994, 500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of
$.001 per share, were authorized.

  5. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
  The Portfolio invests in securities offering high current income which
generally will be in the lower rating categories of recognized rating agencies.
These securities generally involve more credit risk than securities in the
higher rating categories. In addition, the trading market for high yield
securities may be relatively less liquid than the market for higher rated
securities.

    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Shareholders, and Board of Directors of the
Managed High Income Portfolio Inc.:
 
  We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Managed High Income Portfolio Inc., including the portfolio of investments, as
of February 28, 1994, and the related statement of operations and statement of
changes in net assets and financial highlights for the period from March 26,
1993 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 1994. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audit.
 
  We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of investments and cash held by the custodians as of February 28,
1994. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Managed High Income Portfolio Inc. as of February 28, 1994, the results of its
operations and the changes in net assets and financial highlights for the period
from March 26, 1993 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)
 
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
  Under the Portfolio's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), a shareholder
whose shares of Common Stock are registered in his own name will have all
distributions from the Portfolio reinvested automatically by TSSG 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
Portfolio 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 TSSG as
dividend-paying agent.
 
  If the Portfolio declares a dividend or capital gains distribution payable
either in shares of Common Stock or in cash, shareholders who are not Plan
participants will receive cash, and Plan participants will receive the
equivalent amount in shares of Common Stock. 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 Valuation Date (as defined below), Plan participants will be issued
shares of Common Stock valued at the net asset value most recently determined as
described below under "Net Asset Value" or, if net asset value is less than 95%
of the then current market price of the Common Stock, then at 95% of the market
value. The Valuation Date is the dividend or capital gains distribution payment
date or, if that date is not a NYSE trading day, the immediately preceding
trading day.
 
  If the market price of the Common Stock is less than the net asset value of
the Common Stock, or if the Portfolio declares a dividend or capital gains
distribution payable only in cash, a broker-dealer not affiliated with Shearson
Lehman Brothers, as purchasing agent for Plan participants (the "Purchasing
Agent"), 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 the Purchasing Agent has completed its purchases, the market price
exceeds the net asset value of the Common Stock, 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 Portfolio
at net asset value. Additionally, if the market price exceeds the net asset
value of shares before the Purchasing Agent has completed its purchases, the
Purchasing Agent is permitted to cease purchasing shares and the Portfolio
 
  28
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)
 
may issue the remaining shares at a price equal to the greater of (a) net asset
value or (b) 95% of the then current market price. In a case where the
Purchasing Agent has terminated open market purchases and the Portfolio has
issued the remaining shares, the number of shares received by the participant in
respect of the cash dividend or distribution 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. TSSG will apply all cash
received as a dividend or capital gains distribution 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 later than 30 days after that date,
except when necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the federal
securities laws.
 
  TSSG will maintain all shareholder accounts in the Plan and will furnish
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 TSSG on behalf of the 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. TSSG'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 TSSG, 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 The Shareholders Services Group, Inc., P.O.
Box 1376, Boston, Massachusetts 02104 or by telephone at (800) 331-1710.
