LETTER TO
SHAREHOLDERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:

      We are pleased to provide the quarterly report for the Managed High Income
Portfolio Inc. ("Fund") for the three months ended May 31, 2000. During the past
three months, the Fund paid income dividends totaling $0.24 per share. The table
below details the annualized distribution rate and the three-month total return
for the Fund based on its May 31, 2000, net asset value ("NAV") and the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") closing price.(1)

               Price               Annualized            Three-Month
             Per Share        Distribution Rate(2)     Total Return(2)
           -------------      --------------------     ---------------
           $9.40 (NAV)              10.34%                 (3.41)%
           $8.375 (NYSE)            11.61%                  6.13%

----------
(1)   The NAV is calculated by subtracting the total liabilities from the
      closing value of all securities held by the Fund (plus all other assets)
      and dividing the results (total net assets) by the total number of shares
      outstanding. The NAV fluctuates with the changes in the market price of
      the securities in which the Fund has invested. However, the price at which
      an investor may buy or sell shares of the Fund is at their market price
      (NYSE) as determined by supply and demand.
(2)   Total returns are based on changes in NAV or the market value,
      respectively. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends
      and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The annualized
      distribution rate is the Fund's current monthly income dividend rate,
      annualized, and then divided by the NAV or the market value noted in this
      report. This annualized distribution rate assumes a current monthly income
      dividend rate of $0.081 for twelve months. This rate is as of June 30,
      2000 and is subject to change. The important difference between a total
      return and an annualized distribution rate is that the total return takes
      into consideration a number of factors including the fluctuation of the
      NAV or the market value during the period reported. The NAV fluctuation
      includes the effects of unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the
      Fund. Accordingly, since an annualized distribution rate only reflects the
      current monthly income dividend rate annualized, it should not be used as
      the sole indicator to judge the return you receive from your Fund
      investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results.


                                                                               1

Special Shareholder Notice

      In an effort to reduce the Fund's discount to NAV, the Board of Directors
("Board") previously authorized and the Fund implemented a stock repurchase
program. This share repurchase program has added liquidity to the market for the
benefit of investors who wish to sell their shares, while also seeking to
benefit continuing shareholders by increasing the share's net asset value. Since
the inception of the program, the Fund has repurchased and retired 1,190,500
shares at an average buyback price of $8.33 per share. As of May 31, 2000, this
program has increased the Fund's shares' NAV by over $0.04 and increased the
Fund's shares' total return by approximately 0.42% when measured by NAV.

      The Fund intends to continue to purchase shares of its stock in the open
market at such times, prices and amounts deemed advisable and subsequently
retire them. The Board believes that this share repurchase program is an
opportunity to take advantage of market price fluctuations with the objective of
increasing the Fund's NAV. However, there can be no assurance that the Board
will continue this program.

Market and Economic Overview

      For the three months ended May 31, 2000, the overall high-yield bond
market generated total returns in the negative 3.00% to negative 3.50% range
while 10-Year U.S. Treasuries generated total returns in the 2.50% to 3.00%
range. Given the potential for a slowdown in economic growth, due in large part
to rising short term interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed"),
investors have been emphasizing higher quality instruments such as U.S. Treasury
notes in their portfolios. Not surprisingly, the high-yield bond market
generated weaker results in the past three months given the potential economic
slowdown in the second half of this year. The U.S. Treasury market generated
stronger total returns in the past three months in anticipation of slower U.S.
economic growth and potentially lower inflation rates in the second half of
2000.

      During the period, the Fed raised short-term interest rates two times
during the reporting period for a total of 75 basis points(3) to 6.50%. Given
the recent anecdotal evidence of some slowing in economic growth especially in
the domestic economy, we would not be surprised if the Fed does not raise
short-term interest rates in the near term. We are beginning to think that the
bond market's recent decline may be over. Moreover, we anticipate better bond
market performance later this year. (Of course, no guarantees can be given that
our expectations will be met.)

Performance Update & Portfolio Strategy(4)

      The Fund generated a total return of a negative 3.41% for the past three
months based on NAV. In comparison, the Lipper, Inc. peer group of high current
yield funds returned a negative 5.38% based on NAV, for the same period. (Lipper
is a major fund-tracking organization.) The market price of the shares decreased
during the reporting period largely due to concerns regarding the potential
slowing of domestic economic growth and the potential impact on the high-yield
bond market.

      While the last three months were challenging for most bond investors, we
believe the worst is over and remain optimistic on the outlook for the
high-yield bond market in the longer run. Our relatively more conservative
credit stance contributed to the Fund's outperformance versus its peer group in
the past three months. (Of course, past performance is not indicative of future
results.)

      We think our general cautiousness was warranted because of the higher
volatility in the financial markets over the past year. We believe that the high
yield market is attractively valued at current levels and while no guarantees
can be made, we feel we are in a good position to take advantage of any economic
or market conditions that may occur over the near term.

(3)   A basis point is 0.01% or one one-hundredth of a percent.

      discussion of holdings is as of May 31, 2000. Please refer to pages 7

                                                                               3

      During the period, we began to reduce our basic industry positions on the
assumption that weaker U.S. economic growth could hurt some of the more cyclical
industries. We also maintained healthy weightings in the fast-growing
telecommunications, cable and media sectors. The strongest performing industry
sectors in the high-yield market in the past six months were in basic materials
(i.e., forest products, metals, mining, etc.), chemicals, cable and media, and
telecommunications. We believe the more defensive industries (i.e., bonds of
those companies deemed to be more stable than average) such as
telecommunications, technology, health care, cable and media will outperform in
the second half of this year. We will continue to emphasize those sectors in the
portfolio going forward.

      Some of our better-performing investments included Celestica, a major
technology outsourcing company, Verio, major Internet telecommunications
company, Nextel, a fast-growing wireless communications company, Nextlink, a
fast-growing telecommunications company, and PSInet, a major Internet
telecommunications company.

      We have continued to eliminate underperforming companies and selectively
raised our exposure to improving credits during the period. In terms of quality,
we have been increasing our exposure during the period to the middle B-rated
segment of the market where we have continued to find attractive yields.

Conclusion

      We anticipate a continuation of solid economic growth with only a modest
slowing in economic growth over the next few months. We do not expect a
meaningful economic slowdown at this time but will remain watchful for any major
changes in economic trends as we enter the second half of 2000. We anticipate
both the stock market and the high-yield bond market to do better than U.S.
Treasuries. In this environment, we believe the middle-quality high-yield issues
should outperform as they offer the most attractive yields with more limited
default risk than lower-quality issues. Longer term, we remain positive on the
high-yield market and seek to generate relatively strong total return
performance over the near term.

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. A
description of the Fund's Plan begins on page 37. 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 ("NAV") per share on
the date of valuation, you will be issued shares for the equivalent of the most
recently determined NAV per share or 95% of the market price, whichever is
greater.

      If the NAV per share at the time of valuation is greater than the market
price of the common stock, or if the Fund declares a dividend or capital gains
distribution payable only in cash, the Purchasing Agent will buy common stock
for your account in the open market or on the New York Stock Exchange.

      If the Purchasing Agent begins to purchase additional shares in the open
market and the market price of the shares subsequently rises above the NAV
before the purchases are completed, the Purchasing Agent will attempt to cancel
any remaining orders and the Fund will issue the remaining dividend or
distribution in shares at the greater of Fund's NAV per share or 95% of the then
current 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.

      To find out more detailed information about the Plan and about how you can
participate, please call PFPCGlobal Fund Services at (800) 331-1710.

BOND RATINGS (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth below:

Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("Standard &Poor's") -- Ratings from "BBB" to
"C" 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, CCC,       --    Bonds rated "BB", "B", "CCC","CC" and "C" are regarded,
C                       on CC and balance, as predominantly speculative with
                        respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal
                        in accordance with the terms of the obligation. "BB"
                        represents the lowest degree of speculation and "C" the
                        highest degree of speculation. While such bonds will
                        likely have some quality and protective characteristics,
                        they are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk
                        exposures to adverse conditions.

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

Aa                --    Bonds rated "Aa" are judged to be high quality by all
                        standards. Together with the"Aaa" group they comprise
                        what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are
                        rated lower that 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.

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 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 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 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.

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


                                                                              25

      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 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 an accrual basis; (f) dividend income is recorded by the Fund on the
ex-dividend date; foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or as
soon as practical after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend
declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence; (g) the accounting
records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date
of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are
translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such
transactions are recorded. Differences between income or expense amounts
recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian; (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, 2000, 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. Net investment income, net realized
gains and net assets were not affected by this adjustment; (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


                                                                              29

environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining
these estimates could cause actual results to differ; and (k) certain prior year
numbers have been restated to reflect current year's presentation. Current net
investment income, net realized gains, and net assets were not affected by this
change.

      In addition, the Fund may enter into forward exchange contracts in order
to hedge against foreign currency risk. These contracts are marked to market
daily by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the
current market rate as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses are
recognized when contracts are settled.

      2. Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other
         Transactions

      SSB Citi Fund Management LLC ("SSBC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"), which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Citigroup
Inc., acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays SSBC 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.

      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.

      All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of Salomon Smith
Barney Inc., another subsidiary of SSBH.

      3. Investments

      For the three months ended May 31, 2000, the aggregate cost of purchases
and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities but excluding
short-term securities) were:

================================================================================
Purchases                                                          $ 61,892,947

Sales                                                                69,439,926
================================================================================

      At May 31, 2000, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were substantially
as follows:

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                      $  6,433,305

      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. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

      At May 31, 2000, the Fund had open forward foreign currency contracts as
described below. The Fund bears the market risk that arises from changes in
foreign currency exchange rates. The unrealized gain on the contracts reflected
in the accompanying financial statements were as follows:

      6. 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 contract. 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 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 May 31, 2000, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

      7. Options Contracts

      Premiums paid when put or call options are purchased by the Fund,
represent investments, which are marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option
expires, the Fund will realize a loss in the amount of the premium paid. When
the Fund enters into closing sales transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or
loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sales transaction
are greater or less than the premium paid for the option. When the Fund
exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the
underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the
premium originally paid. When the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the
security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium
originally paid.

      At May 31, 2000, the Fund had no open purchased call or put option
contracts.

      When the Fund writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the
premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is
marked-to-market daily. When a written option expires, the Fund realizes a gain
equal to the amount of the premium received. When the Fund enters into a closing
purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain or loss depending upon whether
the cost of the closing transaction is greater or less than the premium
originally received, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the
underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When a written call option is exercised, the proceeds of the security sold will
be increased by the premium originally received. When a written put option is
exercised, the amount of the premium received will reduce the cost of the
security which the Fund purchased upon exercise. When written index options are
exercised, settlement is made in cash.

      The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium
originally paid. The Fund enters into options for hedging purposes. The risk in
writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity to participate
in any increase in the price of the underlying security beyond the exercise
price. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund is exposed to the risk
of loss if the market price of the underlying security declines.

      During the three months ended May 31, 2000, the Fund did not write any
covered call or put options.

      8. 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 securities 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 are sold. If the issuer of a PIK security defaults,
the Fund may obtain no return at all on its investment.

      9. Capital Loss Carryforward

      At February 29, 2000, the Fund had, for Federal income tax purposes,
approximately $57,559,000 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        2005      2007         2008
================================================================================
Carryforward Amounts  $9,404,000  $18,115,000  $239,000  $2,616,000  $27,185,000
================================================================================

      10. Capital Shares

On November 16, 1999, the Fund commenced a share repurchase plan. As of May 31,
2000, repurchased shares totaled 1,190,500 for a total cost of $3,164,136.


                                                                              33

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 PFPC Global Fund
Services ("PFPC"), 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
PFPC 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
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 ("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 ("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 changed 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 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


                                                                              37

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. PFPC 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 payable 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.

      PFPC 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. PFPC'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 PFPC, 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 PFPC Global Fund Services, P.O. Box 8030, Boston
Massachusetts 02266-8030 or by telephone at (800) 331-1710.
