Chairman

Originally offered in 1967, the Smith Barney Large Cap Value Fund looks to
provide you with the opportunity to invest in established and well-managed, yet
undervalued companies, a time-honored investment approach. We believe that
wisely run companies can offer two key benefits to you--dividend income and
capital appreciation potential. At SSB Citi Fund Management LLC, we remain
firmly committed to our belief that individual company selection should continue
to be the primary focus of any investor in any market. We believe that those
companies with superior products, strong management and a sound business plan
should be well positioned to deliver continued earnings growth in the evolving
global economy.

Our managers employ a two-step stock selection process in their search for
undervalued stocks. First, the managers use proprietary models and fundamental
research to try to identify stocks that are underpriced in the market relative
to their fundamental value. Next, the managers look for a positive catalyst in
the company's near term outlook, which they believe will accelerate earnings.
The managers look for companies with above-average dividend paying ability and
established dividend records, with positive changes in earnings prospects not
yet recognized in the marketplace.

For years, individuals and their families and businesses have looked to the
investment professionals of SSB Citi Fund Management LLC for thoughtful insight
and advice. For some, the solution has been a long-term investment strategy,
incorporating multiple stock and bond mutual funds. Others have invested with
specific portfolio managers who are recognized and respected for their insight
and record.

In our opinion, the lessons of the past can and should be used to better
understand the challenges and opportunities of the future. We believe SSB Citi
Fund Management LLC represents extensive asset management experience. We also
believe that expertise is achieved through the intelligent application of
knowledge and experience. Our portfolio managers have managed portfolios across
markets and cycles.

Whatever your investment objective may be, we believe that following a
disciplined investment plan is of paramount importance in these uncertain times.
We encourage you to work closely with your financial professional to map out an
investment plan that fits in with your objectives -- be it retirement, estate
planning or educational needs.

When you invest with SSB Citi Fund Management ENDON LLC, you can do so with the
confidence that your interests come first, your investment success is paramount,
and that the ultimate in resources is being committed to your financial future.
Thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney Funds,
Inc. -- Large Cap Value Fund ("Fund") for the period ended June 30, 2000. In
this report, we summarize the period's prevailing economic conditions and
briefly outline the Fund's investment strategy./1/ Please note that any
discussion of the Fund's holdings is as of June 30, 2000. Please refer to pages
12 through 14 for the Fund's holdings. A detailed summary of performance and
current holdings can be found in the appropriate sections that follow. We hope
you find this report to be useful and informative.

Performance Update

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Fund's Class A, B and L shares,
without sales charges, generated negative returns of 0.88%, 1.32% and 1.26%,
respectively. The Fund's Class A, B and L shares, with sales charges, generated
negative returns of 5.81%, 6.25% and 3.21%. In comparison, the Russell 1000
Value Index/2/ returned a negative 4.23% for the same period. (Past performance
is not indicative of future results.)

                  WE SEEK TO INVEST IN ESTABLISHED COMPANIES
                    WE THINK DEMONSTRATE THE POTENTIAL FOR
                               EARNINGS GROWTH.
                ===============================================

Market Update

The initial months of 2000 began the same as last year ended, with the U.S.
economy growing, technology stocks rising toward new heights, and a growing
acceptance among investors of the likelihood of an extended period of monetary
policy tightening by the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed"). The exceptional
divergence in valuation and stock performance between tech stocks relative to
those of traditional companies also carried over into 2000, supported by the
idea that more established, blue-chip "Old Economy" companies may be trading at
significant discounts given the above average relative growth potential of many
technology firms.

Investors' willingness to pay exceptional multiples for such stocks appears to
have reached a limit. At the same time, the combination of high valuations and
steadily rising interest rates at one point took the Nasdaq Composite Index/3/
down more than 35% between mid-March and the end of April. As the market then
began to value companies on the basis of multiples of cash flow and income,
shares of companies that actually made money finally enjoyed a spell of better
performance compared to many "New Economy" stocks. Against the backdrop of six
months of higher market volatility, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P
500")/4/ was up 1% and performed the best among the major stock indices,
although the Nasdaq Composite Index substantially recovered from its lows to
finish the first half just 3% lower and the Dow Jones Industrial Average
("DJIA")/5/ finished the period down 9%. (Please note that an investor cannot
invest directly in an index.)

 2   The Russell 1000 Value Index contains those stocks in the Russell 1000

After an extraordinary period during which the U.S. economy appeared essentially
unaffected by the steady rise in rates, by the end of the reporting period, the
impact of six interest rate hikes by the Fed since June 1999, were reflected in
housing, employment, and manufacturing data. Although neither of these gauges of
economic strength may be conclusive over short periods of time, each gave
credence to the growing view that economic activity had begun to moderate
somewhat.

In our view, this data supported optimism that the Fed may soon end the recent
rounds of interest rate increases and sparked a broad-based market rally with
the interest-rate sensitive financial sector and other traditional stocks
leading the way. Importantly, at the same time signs of moderating growth caused
greater enthusiasm among many investors, so too have concerns grown about the
sustainability of corporate earnings in the face of a slowing economy.

We believe that investors' views on companies' ability to successfully manage
through this period should be a significant factor in determining which stocks
and indices perform best in coming months. In fact, even as the reporting period
came to a close, companies among sectors as diverse as consumer products,
financial services, communications and technology each preannounced earnings
shortfalls at least partly attributable to slowing economic growth.
Unfortunately, the threat of slowing economic growth is not the only issue that
companies must navigate to meet Wall Street's expectations in coming quarters.
Tight labor markets, rising credit costs, the persistent weakness of the
euro, /6/ and skyrocketing energy costs, are all factors which present companies
of all sizes with significant challenges.

          ==========================================================
                  WE VIEW THE BALANCE OF MARKET,ECONOMIC AND
                 INTEREST RATE RISKS AS FAVORABLE FOR STOCKS.
          ==========================================================

In our opinion, most investors should shift assets toward the companies they
deem to be best positioned to successfully manage their earnings against the
more challenging backdrop of slowing economic growth. We therefore expect second
quarter 2000 earnings reports, along with the release of key economic data
between now and the August 2000 Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC")/7/
meeting, to be important factors influencing near-term market performance.

Market Outlook

We view the communications sector as an opportunity to participate in a changing
industry for which future growth opportunities may be considerably stronger than
those of the past. As the local telephone companies and long distance providers
watch their businesses converge, each is also moving rapidly to shift their
revenue mix toward faster growing areas (such as wireless, data and Internet
services) expected to drive future growth.

We recently added to the Fund's positions in ALLTEL Corp., a national provider
of wireline and wireless communication and information services. Wireless
services comprise greater than half of the company's earnings, recent roaming
agreements and asset swaps with Bell Atlantic/Vodafone should be positive. In
our view, its shares appear attractive relative to peers and the value of the
company's wireless assets.

 7   The FOMC is a policy-making body of the Federal Reserve System, the U.S.

     promote economic growth, full employment, stable prices, and a sustainable
     pattern of international trade and payments.

 5  Smith Barney Large Cap Value Fund | 2000 Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

We also consider the pharmaceutical industry to be an area with investment
potential. Valuations in the group have been depressed recently by political
concerns about rising Medicare drug benefits and other initiatives with the
potential to constrain industry pricing power. These concerns -- combined with
outsized patent expirations and a lack of new potential blockbuster drugs --
have added to investors' concerns about the pharmaceutical industry.

Nevertheless, we believe that select companies have the potential to overcome
these trends and benefit from strong company-specific product cycles, faster
time to market for new products and improving yields on investments in research
and development. We believe the fundamental outlook for Johnson & Johnson should
lead it to outperform despite considerable political pressures and we have
recently begun to accumulate more shares.

The Fund has also established a position in financial services giant Merrill
Lynch, which in our view, is uniquely positioned to capitalize on several
changes within the financial services industry including:

  .   The shift toward capital markets-linked financing abroad;
  .   The trends toward globalization driving increased merger volumes;
  .   The growing trend globally to privatize pension systems; and
  .   The strong demand for retirement savings products worldwide.

We are also encouraged by the firm's response to online competitors and believe
the financial and strategic implications of fully embracing the Internet may
favorably impact asset growth,raise the proportion of fees relative to
transaction-oriented income, and may ultimately lead to a higher stock
valuation. Risks related to the transformation of its retail division seemed
more than adequately discounted during the beginning of the year when we
established meaningful positions in Merrill.

  ==========================================================================
              WIRELESS COMMUNICATION MAY REPRESENT FUTURE GROWTH

          In 1990, there were only 5,283,055 subscribers to wireless
             systems. In 1999, that number dramatically increased
    to 87,047,003. Source: Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association
  ==========================================================================

One of the stocks we sold this year is the disability insurance company
UnumProvident, which was eliminated after the company released what we viewed as
disappointing earnings and revealed a wide range of concerns that suggested to
us that the company's turnaround was of greater complexity and may take longer
than previously thought. Among other missteps, the restructuring and retraining
of the sales force has negatively impacted important customer relationships and
caused a sales decline in UnumProvident's most important division. In our view,
the company faces a challenging future.

Shares of Enron have done extremely well since we added them to the Fund two
years ago. We think the rise in share price through June 2000 was driven in part
by management's persuasive argument for exploiting inefficiencies in the rapidly
expanding broadband market to create a structured broadband commodity trading
market. Management's superior track record and success at taking advantage of
similar imbalances in the electric and natural gas commodity markets gave us
confidence during the period that Enron might establish a dominant position in
this new industry. Nevertheless, after appreciating over 200% since we purchased
it in 1998, the company's shares no longer meet our dividend or cash flow yield
requirements and has begun to take on what we deem to be growth stock
characteristics. Therefore, we substantially eliminated the Fund's position in
Enron and used the proceeds from the sale to invest in what we thought were more
reasonable valued, yet presently out-of-favor names that we believe have
significant upside potential.

 6  Smith Barney Large Cap Value Fund | 2000 Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders
<PAGE>

We are optimistic that U.S. economic growth will slow to a pace that helps to
mediate inflationary concerns enough to satisfy monetary policymakers, yet
remain strong enough to allow corporations to post respectable, if somewhat less
robust, overall earnings gains. Admittedly, the risks to our expectations are
significant. Historically, similar attempts to gradually tame the growth of an
expansion have often not succeeded. Additionally, we view the record trade
deficit in many respects as symbolic of the importance of the U.S. as a source
of demand for emerging and developed markets abroad. Given the increasingly
influential role of the U.S. consumer in helping to maintain the global economic
growth equation, the impact of slowing U.S. demand could be more detrimental
than is generally assumed.

Overall, we view the balance of market, economic and interest rate risks as
favorable for stocks and believe the recent downturn has served to dampen
speculation. In recent months we have identified several promising investment
opportunities within the pharmaceutical, natural gas and technology industries.

In closing, thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney Funds, Inc. --
Large Cap Value Fund. We look forward to continuing to help you pursue your
financial goals in the new century.

Sincerely,

(1) Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if
    any, at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the applicable
    sales charges with respect to Class A and L shares or the applicable
    contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") with respect to Class B and L
    shares.
(2) Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if
    any, at net asset value. In addition, Class A and L shares reflect the
    deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 5.00% and 1.00%,
    respectively; Class B shares reflect the deduction of a 5.00% CDSC, which
    applies if shares are redeemed within one year from purchase and declines
    thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L shares also
    reflect the deduction of a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed
    within the first year of purchase.

 + Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares on June
   30,1990, assuming deduction of the maximum 5.00% sales charge and
   reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net asset value
   through June 30, 2000. The Russell 1000 Value Index contains those securities
   in the Russell 1000 Index with a less than average growth orientation.
   Companies in this Index generally have low price to book and price/earnings
   ratios, higher dividend yields and lower forecasted growth values. The Index
   is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and trading expenses
   as a mutual fund. An investor may not invest directly in an index. The
   performance of the Portfolio's other classes may be greater or less than the
   Class A shares' performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether
   greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders
   investing in the other classes.

   All figures represent past performance and are a guarantee of future results.
   Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value
   may be more or less than the original cost. No adjustment has been made for
   shareholders tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Large Cap Value Fund ("Portfolio") is a separate investment portfolio of the
Smith Barney Funds, Inc. ("Fund"). The Fund, a Maryland corporation, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,as a
diversified, open-end management investment company and consists of this
Portfolio and two other separate investment portfolios: U.S. Government
Securities Fund and Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund. The financial statements
and financial highlights for the other portfolios are presented in separate
shareholder reports.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio are:
(a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities traded
on national securities markets are valued at the closing prices on such markets;
securities for which no sales price was reported and U.S. government and agency
obligations are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices; (c)
securities, other than U.S. government agencies and obligations, that have a
maturity of more than 60 days are valued at prices based on market quotations
for securities of similar type, yield and maturity; (d) securities maturing
within 60 days or less are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus
amortized premium, which approximates value; (e) dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis;
foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practical
after the Portfolio determines the existence of a dividend declaration after
exercising reasonable due diligence; (f) gains or losses on the sale of
securities are calculated by using the specific identification method; (g)
dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date; (h) direct expenses are charged to each class; management fees and general
portfolio expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets by class;
(i) the accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars
based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against 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 and expense amounts
recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank;
(j) the Portfolio 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; (k) 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
December 31, 1999, reclassifications were made to the capital accounts of the
Portfolio to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and gains
available for distributions under income tax regulations. Net investment income,
net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this change; and (l)
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. Management 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.
("Citigroup"), acts as investment manager of the Portfolio. The Portfolio pays
SSBC a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% on the Portfolio's
average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.55% on the next $500 million and
0.50% on average daily net assets in excess of $1.0 billion. These fees are
calculated daily and paid monthly.

Citi Fiduciary Trust Company ("CFTC"), formerly known as Smith Barney Private
Trust Company, another subsidiary of Citigroup,acts as the Portfolio's transfer
agent and PFPC Global Fund Services ("PFPC") acts as the Portfolio's sub-
transfer agent. CFTC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary
according to the account size and type of account. PFPC is responsible for
shareholder recordkeeping and financial processing for all shareholder accounts
and is paid by CFTC. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Portfolio
paid transfer agent fees of $293,054 to CFTC.

Effective June 5, 2000, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"), another subsidiary of
SSBH, became the Portfolio's distributor replacing CFBDS, Inc. ("CFBDS"). In
addition, SSB acts as the primary broker for the Portfolio's agency
transactions. Certain other broker-dealers continue to sell Portfolio shares to
the public as members of the selling group. For the six months ended June 30,
2000, SSB and its affiliates received total brokerage commissions of $6,251.

5.00% on Class B shares, which applies if redemption occurs less than one year
from purchase and declines thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is
incurred. Class L shares also have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption
occurs within the first year of purchase. In certain cases, Class A shares also
have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the first year of
purchase. This CDSC only applies to those purchases of Class A shares, which
when combined with current holdings of Class A shares equal or exceed $500,000
in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, CFBDS and SSB received sales charges of
$138,000 and $125,000 on sales of the Portfolio's Class A and L shares,
respectively. In addition, CDSCs paid to SSB were approximately as follows:

================================================================================
CDSCs                              $18,000            $212,000         $24,000
================================================================================

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Portfolio pays a service fee with respect
to its Class A, B and L shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the
average daily net assets of each respective class. In addition, the Portfolio
also pays a distribution fee with respect to Class B and L shares calculated at
the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each class. For the
six months ended June 30, 2000, total Distribution Plan fees were as follows:

4. Repurchase Agreements

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

5. Lending of Portfolio Securities

The Portfolio has an agreement with its custodian whereby the custodian may lend
securities owned by the Portfolio to brokers, dealers and other financial
organizations. Fees earned by the Portfolio on securities lending are recorded
in interest income. Loans of securities by the Portfolio are collateralized by
cash, U.S. government securities or high quality money market instruments that
are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market
value of the loaned securities, plus a margin which may vary depending on the
type of securities loaned. The custodian establishes and maintains the
collateral in a segregated account. The Portfolio maintains exposure for the
risk of any losses in the investment of amounts received as collateral.

At June 30, 2000, the Portfolio loaned stocks having a value of approximately
$37,800,147 and holds the following collateral for loaned securities:

JAMES E.
CONROY

Vice President

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney Funds,
Inc. -- Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund ("Portfolio") for the period ended June
30, 2000. In this report, we summarize the period's prevailing economic and
market conditions and outline our portfolio strategy.1 A more detailed summary
of performance can be found in the appropriate sections that follow. We hope you
find this report to be useful and informative.

Performance Update
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Portfolio's Class A shares returned
2.79%. In comparison, the Salomon Smith Barney Treasury/Government
Sponsored/Corporate 1-5 Year Index ("SSB Index")2 returned 3.13% for the same
period. In addition, during the past six months, the Portfolio distributed
income dividends totaling $0.10 per Class A share. For performance information
on the Portfolio's other share classes, please refer to pages five and six.

The Portfolio's underperformance versus the benchmark during the period was
primarily due to its overweight in corporate bonds which did not perform as well
as government securities. However, we will continue to look for any
opportunities that may arise in the corporate debt market with the objective of
increasing the Portfolio's yield. As always, we will closely monitor any
anticipated change in interest rates. (Of course, no guarantees can be given
that our approach will be successful.)

The continued strength of the U.S. stock markets and the inverted yield curve
has made investing in bonds challenging. (The yield curve is a graphical
depiction of the relationship between the yield on bonds of the same credit
quality but different maturities. An inverted yield curve illustrates an
occurrence when shorter-term bonds have higher yields than longer-term bonds.)
However, it is our belief that the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") actions may
ultimately

1    The information provided represents the opinion of the manager and is not
     intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results
     nor investment advice. Further, there is no assurance that certain
     securities will remain in or out of the Portfolio.

2    The SSB Index consists of short-term U.S. treasury and corporate debt
     securities. The index is unmanaged and not subject to the same charges of a
     mutual fund. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

slow economic conditions and make bonds more appealing to many investors over
time. Additionally, we think that long-term rates may possibly decline by the
end of the year.

Market Update
In our view, the issues that significantly impacted the performance of the bond
market during the period were:

     . The increase in interest rates by the Fed;
     . The U.S. Treasury's buyback program;
     . Reduced mutual fund inflows; and
     . Investor concerns regarding credit quality, the extreme levels of market
       volatility and illiquidity.

The Fed raised interest rates three times for a total of 75 basis points/3/
during the reporting period. In addition, the plan by the U.S. Treasury to buy
back more than $30 billion of its long-term debt obligations has led to reduced
supply in the market. As such, the price of longer-term bonds increased in
relation to their shorter-term counterparts, as reflected by an inverted yield
curve. Instead of a "normal" yield curve, with yields rising steadily along with
the maturity of Treasury bonds, the highest yields were for shorter-term bonds.

During the report period, our strategy included slowly buying longer-dated U.S.
Treasuries and extending maturities as interest rates rose during the period.
Due to the U.S. Treasury's buyback program, we anticipate that interest rates on
the long end of the yield curve will continue to be lower that rates on the
short end of the yield curve. (Of course, no guarantees can be given that our
expectations will be met.)

Investment Strategy
The Portfolio seeks current income, preservation of capital and liquidity by
investing primarily in "high grade" fixed-income securities. "High grade"
securities include those securities rated by a national ratings organization
(i.e., Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Ratings Service)
within one of the top three categories at the time of purchase, or, if unrated,
judged by the manager to be of comparable credit quality.

Securities in which the Portfolio invests include corporate debt securities,
bank obligation and securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies
and instrumentalities. The Portfolio may also invest in U.S. dollar denominated
fixed-income securities of foreign issuers.

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

The Portfolio maintains an average dollar-weighted portfolio maturity of between
one and four years; the average duration of the Portfolio will normally be no
greater than 3.5 years.

The Portfolio's investment strategy has included slowly buying U.S. Treasuries
and extending maturities as interest rates rose during this period. In our view,
we have probably seen the highs in yields over the near-term, and our investment
strategy in the coming months will be to increase our U.S. Treasury exposure and
reduce our mortgage-backed securities holdings.

Bond Ratings(unaudited)

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

Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("Standard & 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 it is 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 debt 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.

Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund ("Portfolio"), a separate investment
portfolio of the Smith Barney Funds, Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland corporation, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund consists of the
Portfolio and two other separate investment portfolios: Large Cap Value Fund and
U.S. Government Securities Fund. The financial statements and financial
highlights for the other portfolios are presented in separate shareholder
reports.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio are:
(a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) U.S. government
agencies and obligations are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices;
(c) securities for which market quotations are not available will be valued in
good faith at fair value by or under the direction of the Board of Directors;
(d) securities, other than U.S. government agencies, that have a maturity of
more than 60 days are valued at prices based on market quotations for securities
of similar type, yield and maturity; (e) securities maturing within 60 days are
valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which
approximates value; (f) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium
and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis; (g) gains or losses
on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification
method; (h) direct expenses are charged to each class; management fees and
general fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets; (i)
dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date; (j) the Portfolio 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; (k) the character of
income and gains distributed are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. At
December 31, 1999, reclassifications were made to the Portfolio'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 change; and (l)
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. Management Agreements and Transactions with Affiliated Persons

SSB Citi Fund Management LLC ("SSBC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney
Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"), which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.
("Citigroup"), acts as investment manager of the Portfolio. As compensation for
its services, the Portfolio pays SSBC a management fee calculated at an annual
rate of 0.45% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. This fee is
calculated daily and paid monthly.

Citi Fiduciary Trust Company ("CFTC"), formerly known as Smith Barney Private
Trust Company, another subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Portfolio's transfer
agent and PFPC Global Fund Services ("PFPC") acts as the Portfolio's
sub-transfer agent. CFTC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary
according to the account size and type of account. PFPC is responsible for
shareholder recordkeeping and financial processing for all shareholder accounts
and is paid by CFTC. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Portfolio
paid transfer agent fees of $15,291 to CFTC.

Effective June 5, 2000, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"), another subsidiary of
SSBH, became the Portfolio's distributor replacing CFBDS, Inc. In addition, SSB
acts as the primary broker for the Fund's portfolio agency transactions. Certain
other broker-dealers continue to sell Portfolio shares to the public as members
of the selling group.

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Portfolio pays a distribution fee and a
service fee with respect to Class A shares calculated at the annual rate of
0.10% and 0.25% of its average daily net assets, respectively.

All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of SSB.

3. Investments

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the aggregate cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

4. Repurchase Agreements

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

5. Reverse Repurchase Agreements

A reverse repurchase agreement involves a sale by the Portfolio of securities
that it holds with an agreement to repurchase the same securities at an agreed
upon price and date. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the risk that the
market value of the securities sold by the Portfolio may decline below the
repurchase price of the securities. The Portfolio will establish a segregated
account with its custodian, in which the Portfolio will maintain cash, U.S.
government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations equal in value
to its obligations with respect to the reverse repurchase agreements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Portfolio did not enter into any
reverse repurchase agreements.

6. Capital Loss Carryforward

At December 31, 1999, the Portfolio had for Federal income tax purposes
approximately $7,757,000 of capital loss carryforwards available to offset
future realized gains. To the extent that these capital 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 December 31 of the year indicated:

7. Capital Shares

At June 30, 2000, the Fund had two billion shares of capital stock authorized
with a par value of $0.01 per share. The Portfolio has the ability to issue
multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an identical
interest in the Portfolio and has the same rights, except that each class bears
certain expenses specifically related to the distribution of its shares.

At June 30, 2000, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each
class:

Shareholder Letter

JAMES E. CONROY
Vice President

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney Funds,
Inc.- U.S. Government Securities Fund ("Portfolio") for the period ended June
30, 2000. In this report, we summarize the period's prevailing economic and
market conditions and outline our portfolio strategy.(1) A more detailed summary
of performance can be found in the appropriate sections that follow. We hope you
find this report to be useful and informative.

Performance Update
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Portfolio's Class A shares, without
sales charges, returned 3.82%. The Portfolio's Class A shares, with sales
charges, returned a negative 0.88%. In comparison, the Lehman Brothers
Mortgage-Backed Securities Index ("Lehman Index")(2) returned 3.67% for the same
time period. In addition, during the past six months, the Portfolio distributed
income dividends totaling $0.38 per Class A share. For performance information
on the Portfolio's other share classes, please turn to pages five through seven.

The continued strength of the U.S. stock market and the inverted yield curve has
made investing in bonds challenging. (The yield curve is a graphical depiction
of the relationship between the yield on bonds of the same credit quality but
different maturities. An inverted yield curve illustrates an occurrence when
shorter-term bonds have higher yields than longer-term bonds.) However, it is
our belief that the actions by the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") may ultimately
slow economic conditions and make bonds more appealing to many investors over
time. Additionally, we think that long-term rates may possibly decline by the
end of the year.

--------------
1    The information provided represents the opinion of the manager and is not
     intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results
     nor investment advice. Further, there is no assurance that certain
     securities will remain in or out of the portfolio.
2    The Lehman Index is a broad-based unmanaged index of mortgage-backed
     securities comprised of approximately 600 15-year to 30-year fixed rate
     mortgage-backed pools of Government National Mortgage Association, Federal
     National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
     obligations. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

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

<PAGE>

Market Update and Outlook
In our view, the issues that significantly impacted the performance of the bond
market during the period were:

     .    The increase in interest rates by the Fed;

     .    The U.S. Treasury's buyback program;

     .    Reduced mutual fund inflows; and

     .    Investor concerns regarding credit quality, the extreme levels of
          market volatility and illiquidity.

The Fed raised interest rates three times for a total of 75 basis points(3)
during the reporting period. In addition, the plan by the U.S. Treasury to buy
back more than $30 billion of its long-term debt obligations has led to reduced
supply in the market. As such, the price of longer-term bonds increased in
relation to their shorter-term counterparts, as reflected by an inverted yield
curve. Instead of a "normal" yield curve, with yields rising steadily along with
the maturity of Treasury bonds, the highest yields were for shorter-term bonds.

Investment Strategy
The Portfolio seeks high current income, liquidity and security of principal.
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, and in related repurchase
and reverse repurchase agreements.

The U.S. government securities in which the Portfolio invests consist primarily
of mortgage-related securities issued by the federal agencies and U.S. Treasury
securities. Mortgage-related securities issued by federal agencies or
instrumentalities may be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. government or only
by the credit of the issuer itself. Please note that shares of the Portfolio are
not guaranteed nor backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

During the period, the Portfolio's income orientation helped returns due to our
emphasis on mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury strips throughout the
year. We employed this strategy in an attempt to mirror the Government National
Mortgage Association Master Mortgage Index.(4) In addition, we have maintained a
duration(5) of roughly 4.5 to 6.5 years.

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

3    A basis point is 0.01% or one one-hundredth of a percent.
4    The Government National Mortgage Association Master Mortgage Index includes
     various weightings of all outstanding coupons issued in 15- and 30-year
     GNMA mortgage pass-throughs.
5    Duration is a common gauge of the price sensitivity of a fixed income asset
     or portfolio to a change in interest rates.

<PAGE>

Our strategy has included slowly buying U.S. Treasuries and extending maturities
as interest rates have risen during this period. In our view, we have probably
seen the highs in yields over the near-term. Our investment strategy in the
coming months may be to increase our U.S. Treasury exposure and reduce our
mortgage-backed securities holdings.

As of June 30, 2000, the Portfolio's allocation was approximately 66% in U.S.
government agencies, 11% in U.S. treasury obligations and 23% in short-term
investments. And while no guarantees can be given, we believe our strategy
should continue to benefit the Portfolio.

The chart below shows the yields from U.S. Treasuries during the period under
review.

Securities Fund. We look forward to continuing to help you pursue your
financial goals in the new century.

     any, at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the
     applicable sales charges with respect to Class A and L shares or the
     applicable contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") with respect to Class
     B and L shares.
(2)  Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if
     any, at net asset value. In addition, Class A and L shares reflect the
     deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 4.50% and 1.00%
     respectively; Class B shares reflect the deduction of a 4.50% CDSC, which
     applies if shares are redeemed within one year from initial purchase. This
     CDSC declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and thereafter by
     1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L shares also reflect the
     deduction of a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed within the
     first year of purchase.
*    Inception dates for Class A, B, L and Y shares are October 9, 1984,
     November 7, 1994, December 2, 1992 and January 12, 1993, respectively.
+    Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the
     total return for the year.

+    Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares on June 30,
     1990, assuming deduction of the maximum 4.50% sales charge in effect at the
     time of investment and reinvestment of dividends (after deduction of
     applicable sales charge through November 7, 1994, and thereafter at net
     asset value) and capital gains, if any, at net asset value through June 30,
     2000. The Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities ("MBS") Index is
     composed of about 600 15-year to 30-year fixed-rate mortgage-backed pools
     of Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage
     Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. obligations. The Index is
     unmanaged and is not subject to the management and trading expenses of a
     mutual fund. An investor may not invest directly in an index. The
     performance of the Portfolio's other classes may be greater or less than
     the Class A shares' performance indicated on this chart, depending on
     whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by
     shareholders investing in other classes.

     All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future
     results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and
     redemption value may be more or less than the original cost. No adjustment
     has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The U.S. Government Securities Fund ("Portfolio"), is a separate investment
portfolio of the Smith Barney Funds, Inc. ("Fund"). The Fund, a Maryland
corporation,is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,as amended,
as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund consists of
this Portfolio and two other separate investment portfolios: Large Cap Value
Fund and Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund. The financial statements and financial
highlights for the other portfolios are presented in separate shareholder
reports.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio are:
(a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) U.S. government
agencies and obligations are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices;
(c) securities for which market quotations are not available will be valued in
good faith at fair value by or under direction of the Board of Directors; (d)
securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or
minus amortized premium, which approximates value; (e) interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis; (f) gains or losses on the sale of securities are
calculated by using the specific identification method; (g) direct expenses are
charged to each class; management fees and general fund expenses are allocated
on the basis of relative net assets; (h) dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (i) the portfolio intends to
comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,as
amended, pertaining to regulated investment companies to make distributions of
taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income
and excise taxes; (j) 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 December 31, 1999,
reclassifications were made to the Portfolio's capital accounts to reflect
permanent book/tax differences and income and gains available for distribution
under income tax regulations. Net investment income, net realized gains and net
assets were not affected by this change; and (k) 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. Management Agreement and Transactions with Affiliated Persons

SSB Citi Fund Management LLC ("SSBC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney
Holdings Inc. ("SSBH"), which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.
("Citigroup"), acts as investment manager for the Portfolio. The Portfolio pays
SSBC a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.50% of the first $200
million of the average daily net assets, and 0.40% of the average daily net
assets of the Portfolio in excess of $200 million. This fee is calculated daily
and paid monthly.

<PAGE>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Citi Fiduciary Trust Company ("CFTC"), formerly known as Smith Barney Private
Trust Company, another subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Portfolio's transfer
agent and PFPC Global Fund Services ("PFPC") acts as the Portfolio's
sub-transfer agent. CFTC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary
according to the account size and type of account. PFPC is responsible for
shareholder recordkeeping and financial processing for all shareholder accounts.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Portfolio paid transfer agent fees
of $45,921 to CFTC.

Effective June 5, 2000, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"), another subsidiary of
SSBH, became the Portfolio's distributor replacing CFBDS, Inc. ("CFBDS"). In
addition, SSB acts as the primary broker for the Portfolio's agency
transactions. Certain other broker-dealers, continue to sell Portfolio shares to
the public as members of the selling group.

There are maximum initial sales charges of 4.50% and 1.00% for Class A and L
shares, respectively. There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of
4.50% on Class B shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from
purchase. This CDSC declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and
thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class L shares are being
sold at net asset value plus a maximum initial sales charge of 1.00%. Class L
shares also have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the
first year of purchase. In certain cases, Class A shares also have a 1.00% CDSC,
which applies if redemption occurs within the first year of purchase. This CDSC
only applies to those purchases of Class A shares, which, when combined with
current holdings of Class A shares, equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate.
These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, CFBDS and SSB received sales charges of
approximately $86,000 and $5,000 on sales of the Portfolio's Class A and L
shares, respectively. In addition, CDSCs paid to SSB were approximately $1,000,
$20,000 and $1,000 for Class A, B and L shares,respectively.

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Portfolio pays a service fee with respect
to its Class A, B and L shares calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of the
average daily net assets for each respective class. In addition, the Portfolio
also pays a distribution fee with respect to Class B and L shares calculated at
the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.45% of the average daily net assets for each
class, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, total Distribution
Plan fees were as follows:

                                                   Class A    Class B    Class L
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees                             $260,327   $49,810    $46,413
================================================================================

All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of SSB.

3. Investments

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the aggregate cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding short-
term securities) were as follows:

================================================================================
Purchases                                                          $200,257,405

Sales                                                               233,557,320
================================================================================

At June 30, 2000, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation
of investments for Federal income tax purposes were substantially as follows:

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                       $   929,559
Gross unrealized depreciation                                        (3,168,097)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized depreciation                                         $(2,238,538)
================================================================================

4. Repurchase Agreements

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

5. Reverse Repurchase Agreement

The Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreement transactions for
leveraging purposes. A reverse repurchase agreement involves a sale by the
Portfolio of securities that it holds with an agreement by the Portfolio to
repurchase the same securities at an agreed upon price and date. A reverse
repurchase agreement involves the risk that the market value of the securities
sold by the Portfolio may decline below the repurchase price of the securities.
The Portfolio will establish a segregated account with its custodian, in which
the Portfolio will maintain cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid
high grade debt obligations equal in value to its obligations with respect to
the reverse repurchase agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Portfolio did not enter into any
reverse repurchase agreements.

6. Securities Traded on a To-Be-Announced Basis

The Portfolio may trade securities, particularly GNMAs, on a "to-be-announced"
("TBA") basis. In a TBA transaction, the Portfolio commits to purchasing or
selling securities for which specific information is not yet known at the time
of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date. Securities
purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the
Portfolio, normally 15 to 45 days later. These transactions are subject to
market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as
for other portfolio securities.

At June 30, 2000, the Portfolio had no TBA securities.

7. Futures Contracts

Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are recognized
as assets. Securities equal to the initial margin amount are segregated by the
custodian in the name of the broker. Additional securities are also segregated
up to the current market value of the futures contracts. During the period the
futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as
unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect
the market value of the contract at the end of each day's trading. Variation
margin payments are made or received and recognized as assets due from or
liabilities due to broker, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are
incurred. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or
loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing
transactions and the Portfolio's basis in the contract.

The Portfolio enters into such contracts to hedge a portion of its portfolio.
The Portfolio bears the market risk that arises from changes in the value of the
financial instruments and securities indices (futures contracts).

At June 30, 2000, the Portfolio had no open futures contracts.

8. Capital Shares

At June 30, 2000, the Fund had two billion shares of capital stock authorized
with a par value of $0.01 per share. The Portfolio has the ability to issue
multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an identical
interest in the Portfolio and has the same rights. Each class bears certain
expenses specifically related to the distribution of its shares.

9.   Capital Loss Carryforward

At December 31, 1999, the Portfolio had, for Federal income tax purposes,
approximately $8,818,000 of unused capital loss carryforwards available to
offset future capital gains expiring in 2007. 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.
