Managed Municipals
Portfolio Inc.
February 28, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide the third quarter report for the Managed Municipals
Portfolio Inc. ("Fund") for the period ended February 28, 1999. Over the
nine-month period covered by this report, the Fund distributed income dividends
totaling $0.39 per share. We hope you find this report to be useful and
informative.
The table below shows the annualized distribution rate and nine-month total
return based on the Fund's February 28, 1999 net asset value ("NAV") per share
and its New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") closing price:
Price Annualized Nine-Month
Per Share Distribution Rate* Total Return
------------- ------------------ ------------
$12.26 (NAV) 4.80% 3.69%
$10.75 (NYSE) 5.47% 2.24%
In comparison, general closed-end municipal bond funds posted an average total
return on NAV of 4.10% for the same time period, as reported by Lipper Inc.
(Lipper is a major fund-tracking organization.)
Municipal Bond Market Update
During the Fund's reporting period, the bond markets were not dull. Beginning
with the Asian crisis, Russia's default and the problems with a major hedge fund
we have certainly seen some turbulence. The bottom line though is that inflation
is near historic lows, the U.S. economy is quite solid and the Federal Reserve
Board ("Fed") has adopted a more accommodative stance for short-term rates. It
all adds up to a positive backdrop for bonds.

* This distribution assumes a current monthly income dividend rate of $0.049
per share for twelve months.

In our view, the large drop in rates last year in the U.S. government bond
market was not caused by economic fundamentals but primarily the unwinding of
huge short positions by major hedge funds. In fact, 1998 was the first year in
recent memory where the economic fundamentals seemed to mean absolutely nothing
to the bond market.
Investment Strategy
The Fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from Federal income tax
as is consistent with the preservation of principal. As of February 28, 1999,
88.0% of the Fund's holdings were rated investment grade (BBB/Baa and higher) by
either Standard & Poor's Rating Service or Moody's Investors Service Inc., with
50.8% of the Fund invested in AAA/Aaa bonds, the highest possible rating. The
Fund's largest holdings are concentrated in hospital bonds (15.1%),
miscellaneous bonds (15.1%), general obligation bonds (12.8%) and transportation
bonds (12.7%) because we believe they offer good relative values.
Municipal Bond Market Outlook
Over the short term, we do not think that future Fed monetary policy will be
influenced by conditions in the financial markets. We think that any future Fed
decisions on rates will be driven by the state of the U.S. economy. Unless there
are any signs of inflationary pressures, we do not anticipate any Fed tightening
in the coming months. However, if the U.S. economy begins to re-accelerate and
labor markets continue to tighten, the Fed may raise rates in the second half of
1999.
As we have noted, the fundamentals -- low inflation and a benign Fed monetary
policy -- are favorable for the bond markets. We think these positive conditions
will be with us in the coming months. As you get closer to a presidential
election year, the economy may pick-up. At that point we may take a more
conservative stance in the Fund than we currently follow. We believe that the
economy should be our guide, because it will be the key factor affecting future
Fed monetary policy.

In rallies, municipal bonds generally underperform versus U.S. government bonds
and corporate bonds. That happened in July, August, September and October of
last year. However, with long-term municipal bonds yielding roughly 94% of
long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, we think that municipal bonds are very attractive
on a relative basis. And if rates do rise, the volume of new issues and
refunding deals in the municipal bond market will decrease, causing more
favorable supply and demand conditions and providing support for municipal bond
prices.
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
Investors 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 the section of 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 SSBC Fund Managment Inc., formerly known as
Mutual Management Corp.
To find out more detailed information about the Plan and about how you can
participate, please call First Data Investors 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.

- ------------------------------------- 16 -------------------------------------
<PAGE>
Short-Term Security Ratings
(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, 1998, 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; 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
SSBC Fund Management Inc. ("SSBC"), formerly known as Mutual Management
Corp., 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. For the nine months ended February 28, 1999,
SSBC waived $269,093 of its investment advisory fee.
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. For the nine months ended February 28,
1999, SSBC waived $76,883 of its administration fee.
All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of Salomon Smith
Barney Inc., another subsidiary of SSBH.
4. Investments
For the nine months ended February 28, 1999, the aggregate cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but
excluding short-term securities) were as follows:
================================================================================
Purchases $59,219,799
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales 63,163,112
================================================================================
At February 28, 1999, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were substantially
as follows:
================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation $25,970,974
Gross unrealized depreciation (8,125,496)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation $17,845,478
================================================================================
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
[GRAPHIC]
- ------------------------------------- 22 -------------------------------------
<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements
(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 February 28, 1999, the Fund had no open futures contracts.
6. Capital Shares
Capital stock transactions were as follows:

Shares issued on reinvestment -- -- 54,539 $671,821
================================================================================
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 February 28, 1999, the Fund did not hold any when-issued securities.

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, P.O. Box
8030, Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8030 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
