Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide the annual report for the Smith
Barney Oregon
Municipals Fund ("Fund") for the year ended April 30, 1997.
In this report, we
summarize the period's prevailing economic and market
conditions and outline our
portfolio strategy. A detailed summary of the Fund's
performance can be found in
the appropriate sections that follow.
Oregon Municipals Fund's Performance and Investment Strategy
For the year ended April 30, 1997, the Class A shares of the
Fund generated a
total return of 7.01%. In comparison, the Fund's Lipper
Analytical Services,
Inc. peer group average posted a total return of 6.05% for
the same period.
(Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. is an independent fund
tracking organization.)
Over the twelve months covered by this report, the Fund
distributed income
dividends totaling $0.54 per Class A share; based on its net
asset value (NAV)
of $10.27 as of April 30, 1997, this equates to an
annualized distribution rate
of 5.26%. For an Oregon investor in a combined federal and
state tax bracket of
41.76%, the Fund's tax-exempt yield of 5.26% is equivalent
to a taxable yield of
9.03%. (This figure assumes an investor in a federal tax
bracket of 36%, which,
according to the Internal Revenue Service, represents
approximately 10% of all
U.S. taxpayers.)
During the year covered by this report, the Fund has
maintained its emphasis
toward good quality, higher-coupon bonds. In selecting
investments for the Fund,
we tend to focus primarily on providing current income. As
of April 30, 1997,
the Fund's average weighted maturity was roughly 22.4 years
and nearly 100% of
the Fund's holdings were rated investment grade (BBB/Baa and
higher) by either
Standard & Poor's Rating Service ("S&P") or Moody's
Investors Services, Inc.,
("Moody's") or deemed to be comparable in quality to
investment-grade bonds by
the Fund's investment adviser. Approximately one-third of
the Fund's portfolio
was rated AAA, the highest quality bond rating. (S&P and
Moody's are two major
credit reporting and bond rating agencies.)
In addition, we continue to remain broadly diversified
across a number of market
segments. As of April 30, 1997, the Fund's largest holdings
were concentrated in
education bonds (18.0%), multi-family housing bonds (13.0%),
general obligation
bonds (12.4%), and single family housing bonds (11.4%).
Market and Economic Overview
The U.S. economy continued to grow steadily during the
course of the year. Yet,
conflicting official economic reports released during the
year led many
investors to vacillate between a view of a slowing U.S.
economy and one that was
beginning to overheat, which in turn led to considerable
volatility in the bond
markets. However, since the beginning of 1997, many economic
indicators showed
that the U.S. economy was expanding at a brisk pace. In
response to a steady
stream of strong government economic reports, the Federal
Reserve Board ("Fed")
raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points, or 0.25%
in March of this
year. (The federal funds rate is the interest rate banks
charge each other for
overnight loans and a closely watched indicator of the
direction of interest
rates.)
Many investors had expected an additional tightening of Fed
monetary policy at
their May 1997 meeting but the Fed chose to remain on the
sidelines and not
raise interest rates further. In our opinion, a positive
inflation outlook and a
few signs that the U.S.
economy may be slowing led to the Fed's decision to leave
interest rates unchanged.
However, we believe there is some risk of additional
interest rate increases
later on this year. Recently released government reports
indicated that the U.S.
economy grew at nearly a 5.8% annualized rate for the first
quarter of 1997
compared to the already robust 3.8% annualized growth rate
during the fourth
quarter of 1996. These economic growth rates are well beyond
what is deemed to
be the economy's non-inflationary potential of approximately
2.5% annualized
growth. It is unclear if the U.S. economy will slow down
enough over the coming
months to ease the Fed's concerns of higher inflationary
pressures.
Oregon Economic Highlights
As of April 30, 1997, Oregon's general obligation debt was
rated double-A by
each of the three major credit reporting and bond rating
agencies: Fitch
Investors Service, L.P., S&P and Moody's. Oregon's double-A
rating is based on
its strong economic growth in recent years, low level of tax-
supported debt and
solid financial operations. While Oregon's economic growth
for the most part has
been impressive, the passage of ballot measure 47 (a "cut
and cap" property tax
limitation approved by Oregon's voters last November) has
prompted the state to
provide additional relief with respect to school property
taxes. On May 20,
1997, Oregon voters passed measure 50, which modifies
measure 47 while
preserving tax relief for property owners. We expect that
the passage of these
ballot measures will result in a lower supply of new Oregon
state debt. While
credit quality for some issues may suffer somewhat, we
believe there should not
be any significant negative impact on the overall municipal
bond market as long
as the Oregon economy remains strong. In addition, Oregon's
heavy reliance on
its robust semiconductor industry (an industry responsible
for creating roughly
25,000 construction jobs and 4,500 jobs in electronics
manufacturing over the
past few years) may become a cause for concern if there is
any cyclical
downturn.
However, while these and many other challenges remain, we
are confident that
Oregon's sound financial operations and good quality of life
should enable the
state to remain a strong economic performer relative to the
rest of the U.S.
over the long term.
Municipal Bond Market Update and Outlook
Despite the Fed action in March 1997, and the possibility of
further tightening
in U.S. monetary policy, we believe the U.S. economy can
sustain and perhaps
slightly surpass its current level of growth without causing
any substantial
increase in inflationary pressures. In our view, global
competition and
increased productivity should continue to keep wage costs
down and therefore
also help to contain any meaningful rise in inflation.
(Labor is the most costly
element of production, making up nearly two-thirds of the
total cost of finished
goods.)
For these reasons, we remain generally positive on Oregon's
municipal bond
market in the months ahead. In fact, we view the recent rise
in market yields as
an opportunity to extend the Fund's call protection without
sacrificing a lot of
coupon income or substantially increasing its downside risk.
In our opinion,
supply and demand, ongoing Fed vigilance and attractive
after-tax returns
continue to make a compelling case for municipal bonds.
In closing, we would like to thank you for your investment
in the Smith Barney
Oregon Municipals Fund. We look forward to helping you
achieve your financial
goals.
Sincerely,
Heath B. McLendon
Chairman

minimum credit rating
of at least Baa and a maturity of at least 2 years,
excluding all bonds subject
to the Alternative Minimum Tax and bonds with floating or
zero coupons. The
index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management

Bond Ratings
All ratings are by Standard & Poor's Rating Service
("Standard & Poor's"),
except those identified by an asterisk(*) are rated by
Moody's Investors Service
Inc. ("Moody's"). The definitions of the applicable rating
symbols are set forth
below:
Standard & Poor's -- Ratings from "AA" to "BB" 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.
BB -- Bonds rated "BB" have less near-term
vulnerability to default than
other speculative issues. However, they face
major ongoing
uncertainties or exposure to adverse business,
financial, or economic
conditions which could lead to inadequate
capacity to meet timely
interest and principal payments.
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 that are 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 that are 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 that are 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 that are 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.
<PAGE>
SP-1 -- Standard & Poor's highest rating indicating very
strong or strong
capacity to pay principal and interest; those
issues determined to
possess overwhelming safety characteristics are
denoted with a plus
(+) sign.
A-1 -- Standard & Poor's highest commercial paper and
variable-rate
demand obligation (VRDO) rating indicating that
the degree of safety
regarding timely payment is either overwhelming
or very strong; those
issues determined to possess overwhelming safety
characteristics are
denoted with a plus (+) sign.
VMIG 1 -- Moody's highest rating for issues having a demand
feature--VRDO.
P-1 -- Moody's highest rating for commercial paper and
for VRDO prior to
the advent of the VMIG 1 rating.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Smith Barney Oregon Municipals Fund ("Fund"), a
Massachusetts business trust, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a
non-diversified, open-end management investment company.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by
the Fund are: (a)
security transactions are accounted for on the trade date;
(b) securities are
valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices
provided by an
independent pricing service; (c) securities maturing within
60 days are valued
at cost plus accreted discount or minus amortized premium,
which approximates
market value; (d) gains or losses on the sale of securities
are calculated by
using the specific identification method; (e) interest
income, adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of original issue
discount, is recorded on
the accrual basis; market discount is recognized upon the
disposition of the
security; (f) direct expenses are charged to the Fund and
each class; investment
advisory, administration fees and general fund expenses are
allocated on the
basis of relative net assets; (g) dividends and
distributions to shareholders
are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (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 April 30, 1997,
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. Accordingly, a portion of accumulated net
realized losses amounting
to $234,740 and a portion of overdistributed net investment
income amounting to
$6,955 was reclassified to paid-in capital. Net investment
income, net realized
gains and net assets were not affected by this change; and
(j) estimates and
assumptions are required to be made regarding assets,
liabilities and changes in
net assets resulting from operations when financial
statements are prepared.
Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and
any other parameters
used in determining these estimates could cause actual
results to differ.
In addition, organization and initial offering costs have
been deferred and are
being amortized on a straight-line method over a five-year
period, beginning
with the commencement of the Fund's operations in May 1994.
2. Fund Concentration
Since the Fund invests primarily in obligations of issuers
within Oregon, it is
subject to possible concentration risks associated with
economic, political or
legal developments or industrial or regional matters
specifically affecting
Oregon.
3. Exempt-Interest Dividends and Other Distributions
The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable
interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from regular Federal income tax
and from designated
state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when
distributed to the
shareholders of the Fund.
Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable to
shareholders, and are
declared and paid at least annually. Additional taxable
distributions may be
made if necessary to avoid a Federal excise tax.
4. Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement
and Affiliated
Transactions
Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a
subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBH"), acts as investment adviser to
the Fund. The Fund
pays SBMFM an investment advisory fee calculated at an
annual rate of 0.30% of
the Fund's average daily net assets. This fee is calculated
daily and paid
monthly. SBMFM waived all of the investment advisory fees
for the Fund for the
year ended April 30, 1997.
SBMFM also acts as the Fund's administrator for which the
Fund pays a fee
calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily
net assets up to $500
million and 0.18% of the average daily net assets in excess
of $500 million.
This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly. SBMFM waived
all of its
administration fees for the year ended April 30, 1997. SBMFM
has also agreed to
reimburse the Fund for certain expenses totalling $53,166.
Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SBH, acts as
distributor of the
Fund's shares. For the year ended April 30, 1997, SB
received sales charges of
approximately $43,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A shares.
There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of
4.50% on Class B shares,
which applies if redemption occurs 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 C shares have a 1.00%
CDSC, which applies
if redemption occurs within the first year of purchase. For
the year ended April
30, 1997, CDSCs paid to SB for Class B shares were
approximately $25,000.
Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee
with respect to its
Class A, B and C shares calculated at the annual rate of
0.15% of the average
daily net assets for each respective class. In addition, the
Fund pays a
distribution fee with respect to its Class B and C shares
calculated at the
annual rates of 0.50% and 0.55% of the average daily net
assets for each class,
respectively. For the year ended April 30, 1997, total
Distribution Plan fees
incurred were:
Class A Class B
Class C
Distribution Plan Fees $13,359 $73,866
$5,286
All officers and one Trustee of the Fund are employees of
SB.
5. Investments
During the year ended April 30, 1997, the aggregate cost of
purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities,
but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:
Purchases $12,604,230
Sales 7,494,667
At April 30, 1997, the aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation and depreciation
of investments for Federal income tax purposes was
substantially as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation $790,557
Gross unrealized depreciation (31,222)
Net unrealized appreciation $759,335
6. Shares of Beneficial Interest
At April 30, 1997, the Fund had an unlimited number of
shares of beneficial
interest authorized with par value of $0.001 per share. The
Fund has the ability
to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class
represents an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each
class bears certain
direct expenses, including those specifically related to the
distribution of its
shares.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Shareholders and Board of Trustees
of the Smith Barney Oregon Municipals Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of the Smith Barney Oregon
Municipals Fund as of
April 30, 1997, the related statement of operations for the
year then ended and
the statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for each of the
years in the two-year period then ended. These financial
statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds'
management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and
financial highlights based on our audits. The financial
highlights for the
period from May 23, 1994 (commencement of operations) to
April 30, 1995, were
audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated June
19, 1995, expressed
an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of April
30, 1997, by correspondence with the custodian. As to
securities purchased and
sold but not received or delivered, we performed other
appropriate auditing
procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial
highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the
Smith Barney Oregon Municipals Fund as of April 30, 1997,
the results of its
operations for the year then ended and the changes in its
net assets and
financial highlights for each of the years in the two-year
period then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
