LETTER TO
SHAREHOLDERS
May 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:

     We are pleased to provide you with the first quarter report for the Managed
High Income Portfolio for the three-month period ended May 31, 1996. Over the
past three months, the Portfolio paid dividends totaling $0.279 per share. The
table below details the annualized distribution rates based on the Portfolio's
May 31, 1996 net asset value (NAV) per share and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
closing price.

           Price Per Share               Annualized Distribution Rate
           ---------------               ----------------------------
           $11.18 (NAV)                              9.98%
           $10.63 (NYSE)                            10.50%

     The Managed High Income Portfolio generated a positive total return on net
asset value of 1.01% for the past three months and 5.81% for the past six
months, compared to average peer group total returns of 1.82% and 7.38% for the
same respective periods as reported by Lipper Analytical Services. Because of
its relatively higher credit quality and somewhat greater interest rate
sensitivity, the Portfolio's three and six-month performance were somewhat less
than the average returns of other closed end high yield portfolios.

Market and Economic Overview

     The fixed-income markets remained relatively volatile over the past three
months with the more interest-rate sensitive instruments, such as U.S.
Government securities and investment grade corporate bonds continuing to
generate negative returns. The longer end of the market performed extremely
poorly. The 30-Year Treasury Bond, for example, posted a negative total return
of 10.90% for the first five months of 1996. Despite a rather turbulent bond
market, high yield bonds, which tend to be slightly less sensitive to interest
rate fluctuations than government or investment-grade corporate bonds, continued
to post positive total returns as many investors remained optimistic that U.S.
economic expansion would continue.

     Within the high yield market, the lowest quality issues (i.e., CCC/Caa
rated and lower) which tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions, had
returns of roughly 11.00% over the past six months. This performance compares
with modestly positive total returns of 1.50% for BB/Ba rated 


                                                                               1

issues and slightly greater total returns of 5.50% for B/B rated issues. Given
the considerable rise in interest rates during the first five months of 1996 and
the negative performance of both U.S. Treasury bonds and investment grade
corporate bonds in response to the stronger-than-expected economic growth, we
are not surprised by this performance disparity.

Portfolio Strategy

     The Managed High Income Portfolio has maintained a relatively conservative
investment strategy over the past six months with a strong emphasis on the
upper- and middle-rated tiers of the high-yield market, those issues rated B/B
and Ba/BB by Standard and Poor's and Moody's. These bonds are issued by
improving companies which we believe have a great likelihood of receiving
upgrades and, as a consequence, should experience price appreciation.

     Despite the fact the Portfolio's higher credit quality held back its
relative performance in the first five months of 1996, we will continue to avoid
lower quality CCC/Caa rated issues because we are not comfortable with the level
of risk associated with these issues. Moreover, we believe the Portfolio's
investment strategy of concentrating on improving high yield bonds rated B/B and
BB/Ba is prudent over the long term. As of May 31, 1996 approximately 85% of the
Portfolio was invested in B/B-rated and BB/Ba-rated bonds.

     In terms of industry breakdown, the Portfolio is heavily weighted in the
telecommunications and cable industries, which currently make up approximately
34% of total assets. Many companies within these industries continue to show
strong growth and tend to be less sensitive to changing economic conditions.
Because of our positive views on the telecommunications and cable industries, we
added several new issues to the Portfolio including: Time Warner, which has
significantly expanded its cable and programming services, and now has
approximately 11.4 million subscribers; Intelcom Group, an expanding
Colorado-based company which provides alternate local telecommunications access;
and Intermedia Communications of Florida, which provides local telephone
companies in the Southeast with access to its extensive fiber-optic system and
its voice and data networks.

     In light of the strong performance of the high yield market in the past six
months -- in contrast to the sell-off in the U.S. Treasury market -- we would
not be surprised to see a short-term pullback in the market, especially
considering the increased level of new issues amounting to over $10 billion,
scheduled to be offered over the next two months. In anticipation, we eliminated
or reduced several holdings including Harvard Industries, Coleman, a camping
equipment manufacturer, and Marvel

Entertainment, a company that specializes in comic books. In our view, the
Portfolio's modestly higher cash reserves will not only partially buffer against
increased market volatility, but will allow us greater flexibility to take
advantage of any new attractive investment opportunities. It is our goal to
reinvest excess cash back into the market over the near term.

     On a final note, the Managed High Income Portfolio reduced the monthly
dividend rate from $0.093 to $0.091 per share in June. The reduction in the
monthly dividend rate is reflective of our more conservative higher credit
stance, which consequently reduced the Portfolio's income stream.

     In closing, we anticipate the high yield market will generate competitive
performance returns as more investors become convinced that U.S. economic growth
will continue throughout the rest of the year. We believe the Portfolio's
prudent investment philosophy should work well over a full economic cycle and we
look forward to meeting the challenges that may lie ahead in a more volatile
market. We look forward to continuing to help you achieve your investment goals.

Sincerely,


/s/ Heath B. McLendon                        /s/ John C. Bianchi

DESCRIPTION OF RATINGS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All ratings are by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard & Poor's"), except
that those identified by an asterisk(*) are rated by Moody's Investors Services
("Moody's.") The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth
below:

Standard & Poor's -- Ratings from "BBB" to "D" may be modified by the addition
of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standings within the major
rating 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 for bonds in higher rated
                  categories.

BB, B and CCC  -- Bonds rated "BB" and "B" are regarded, on balance, as
                  predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay
                  interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of
                  the obligation. "BB" represents a lower degree of speculation
                  than "B," and "CCC" the highest degree of speculation. While
                  such bonds will likely have some quality and protective
                  characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties
                  or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

C              -- The rating "C" is reserved for income bonds on which no
                  interest is being paid.

D              -- Bonds rated "D" are in default, and payment of interest and/or
                  repayment of principal is in arrears.

Moody's -- Numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 may be applied to each generic rating
from "Baa" to "C," where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest ranking within its
generic category.

Baa            -- Bonds rated "Baa" are considered to be medium grade
                  obligations; that is, they are neither highly protected nor
                  poorly secured. Interest payment 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. These bonds lack outstanding investment
                  characteristics and may have speculative characteristics as
                  well.

Ba             -- Bonds that are rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative
                  elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured.
                  Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be
                  very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both
                  good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position
                  characterizes bonds in this class.

B              -- Bonds that are rated "B" generally lack characteristics of
                  desirable investments. Assurance of interest and principal
                  payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over
                  any long period of time may be small.

Caa            -- Bonds that are rated "Caa" are of poor standing. These issues
                  may be in default, or present elements of danger may exist
                  with respect to principal or interest.

Ca             -- Bonds that are rated "Ca" represent obligations which are
                  speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default
                  or have other marked shortcomings.

C              -- Bonds that are rated "C" are the lowest rated class of bonds,
                  and issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor
                  prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

NR             -- Indicates that the bond is not rated by Standard & Poor's or
                  Moody's.

     1. Significant Accounting Policies

     Managed High Income Portfolio Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland corporation, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, closed-end management investment company.

     The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by
the Fund: (a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b)
securities are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and ask prices provided
by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in corporate
obligations, quotations from corporate 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 market value; (d) gains or losses on
the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification
method; (e) interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue discount,
is recorded on the accrual basis; (f) dividends are recorded by the Fund on the
ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are
recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date; (g) foreign
currencies (and receivables and payables for unsettled foreign securities
transactions) are translated into U.S. Dollars based on the rate of exchange of
such currencies against U.S. Dollars on the date of valuation; (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; (i) 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 February 29, 1996,
reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect permanent
book/tax differences and income and gains available for distributions under
income tax regulations. Accordingly, $215,598 of foreign currency gains was
reclassified to overdistributed net investment income and a portion of
overdistributed net investment income amounting to $1,215,693 has been
reclassified to paid-in capital. Net investment income, net realized gains and
net assets were not affected by this change; and (j) 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.   Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other
          Transactions

     Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings ("SBH"), through its Greenwich Street Advisors division, acts as
investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays SBMFM an advisory fee calculated
at an annual rate of 0.90% of the average daily net assets. This fee is
calculated daily and paid monthly.

     SBMFM 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.

     3. Investment Transactions

     For the three months ended May 31, 1996, the aggregate cost of purchases
and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities but excluding
short-term securities) were $81,899,219 and $85,746,438, respectively.

     At May 31, 1996, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities
in which there is an excess of market value over tax cost amounted to
approximately $19,157,593 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all
securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over market value amounted to
approximately $15,478,130, or a net unrealized appreciation of $3,679,463.

     4. Repurchase Agreements

     The Fund purchases, and its custodian takes possession of, U.S. Government
securities from banks 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.

     5. Futures Contracts

     Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are
recognized as assets. The initial margin is segregated by the custodian as is
noted in the schedule of investments. 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,


                                                                              21

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.

     At May 31, 1996, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

     6. Payment-in-Kind Securities

     The Fund may invest in payment-in-kind ("PIK") securities. PIK securities
pay interest through the issuance of additional securities. PIK bonds carry a
risk in that, unlike bonds which pay interest throughout the period to maturity,
the Fund will realize no cash until the cash payment dates unless a portion of
such securities is sold. If the issuer of a PIK bond defaults, the Fund may
obtain no return at all on its investment.

     7. Capital Loss Carryforward

     At February 29, 1996, the Fund had, for Federal tax purposes, $36,118,795
of loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains. 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. The amount and expiration of
the carryforwards are indicated below. Expiration occurs on the last day in
February, of the year indicated:

                                                         2003           2004
================================================================================

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 First Data
Investor Services Group, Inc. ("First Data") (formerly known as "The Shareholder
Services Group, Inc.") 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 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.

     If the Fund 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 New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("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 Fund declares a dividend or capital gains
distribution payable only in cash, a broker-dealer not affiliated with Smith
Barney, 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 (effective June 1, 1996, the Plan's valuation date will
change from the payable date to the record date). 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 Fund 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

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shares and the Fund 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
Fund 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 Fund issues the remaining shares. First Data 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.

     First Data 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 First Data 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. 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
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 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 1376, Boston, Massachusetts 02104 or by telephone at (800) 331-1710.
