Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the first quarter report for the Greenwich
Street California Municipal Fund Inc. for the period ended November 30, 1996.
Over the three-month period covered by this report, the Fund distributed income
dividends totaling $0.174 per share. The table below details the annualized
distribution rates and three-month total return based on the Fund's November 30,
1996 net asset value (NAV) per share and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closing
price:

                                        Annualized             Total
               Price Per Share      Distribution Rate*         Return
               ---------------      ------------------         ------
                $13.49 (NAV)              5.16%                 6.89%
                $12.63 (NYSE)             5.51%                 8.32

In comparison, closed-end California municipal bond funds posted an average
total return of 5.84% on NAV for the same time period, as reported by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper is an independent fund tracking organization.)

Market and Economic Overview

Throughout 1996, the U.S. economy has continued to enjoy a healthy recovery
which began over six years ago. The national unemployment rate has fallen from
around 7.5% in 1992, to just over 5% in 1996. Consumer price inflation has
remained virtually unchanged since the end of 1991, and producer prices still
appear to be declining on a long-term basis. Although there were little signs of
inflation in 1996, the strength of the U.S. economy, particularly during the
first two quarters of 1996, caused inflation fears to rise among many investors
throughout most of the year. In addition, the debate over whether or not the
Federal Reserve Board would raise interest rates continued to linger over the
U.S. bond markets, which added to bond market volatility between April and
September. However, during the third quarter of 1996, U.S. economic growth
moderated and fears of inflation subsided. As a result, the bond market in
general and municipal bonds specifically, responded positively to benign
inflation numbers and moderate economic growth. The election results with the
Republicans maintaining control of Congress was clearly a plus as far as the
bond market was concerned. It provided an excellent backdrop for lower interest
rates and the market responded with a powerful post-election rally.

- ----------
* Assuming monthly dividends at the current rate of $0.058 per share for twelve
months. However, when applicable, the Fund may pay a capital gain distribution
in lieu of an income dividend towards the end of the calendar year. The current
annualized distribution rate based on NAV and NYSE alone would be 4.73% and
5.05%, respectively, if such were the case.


                                                                               1

California Economic Highlights

California's economic recovery continues to gain momentum as shown by a broad
range of economic indicators. For the first time since 1990, the State's
unemployment rate fell below 7%. California has continued to add manufacturing
jobs while factories nationwide are showing year-to-year declines. Leading the
State's manufacturing job growth were the electronics, apparel and food
processing industries. The State has also experienced strong non-residential
real estate activity with increased sales and declining office vacancies.
However, while residential housing prices have shown signs of firming, new
housing starts and existing home sales have lagged behind the gains seen
nationwide.

Fund's Investment Strategy

The Fund's main investment thrust during the reporting period was to concentrate
primarily on high-grade discount essential service revenue bonds that would
enable us to maximize performance in a lower interest rate environment. In
addition, we have increased the average maturity of the Fund. We have also
become willing to purchase general obligation bonds ("GOs") that meet our
investment criteria, given the turnaround in the California economy. In fact, we
recently added some California GOs to the Fund. Our goal is to provide
shareholders with an attractive level of tax-exempt income consistent with a
good total return, believing that this is the best way to maximize shareholder
value.

As of November 30, 1996, 91% of the Fund's holdings were rated investment grade
(BBB/Baa and higher) by either Standard and Poor's Corporation or Moody's
Investors Service Inc., with about 55% of the Fund's assets invested in triple-A
bonds, the highest possible rating. (Standard and Poor's and Moody's are two
major credit reporting and bond rating agencies.) The Fund's largest holdings
are concentrated in water/sewer bonds (19.1%), hospital bonds (19.1%),
transportation bonds (14.2%) and education bonds (8.2%). As of November 30, 1996
the average weighted maturity of the Fund was 23.3 years.

Outlook

We believe our current investment strategy of focusing on essential service
revenue bonds will enable the Portfolio to be well-positioned going into the
first quarter of 1997. Interest rates should continue to decline, but as the
Spring approaches we will take a fresh look at the level of interest rates, the
rate of U.S. economic growth and the pattern of foreign capital flows into the
U.S., and reassess our position at that time.

Ratings and Security Descriptions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BOND RATINGS

All ratings are by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("Standard & Poor's"),
except that 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 "BBB" may be modified
by the addition of a plus (+) or a 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 differ 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 bonds in this category than in higher
          rated categories.

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 rating
          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 as 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.

SHORT-TERM SECURITIES RATINGS

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 demand feature -- VRDO.

     1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Greenwich Street California Municipal Fund Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland
corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company.

      The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are:
(a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities are
valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices provided by an independent
pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal obligations,
quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable
securities and various relationships between securities; (c) securities maturing
within 60 days or less are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus
amortized premium, which approximates 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) dividends and distributions
to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (g) expenses are charged
to the Fund; (h) the character of income and gains to be distributed are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. At August 31, 1996, 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 change; (i) the Fund intends to comply with the applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to
regulated investment companies and make distributions of taxable income
sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and excise taxes;
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 costs have been deferred and are being amortized
on a straight-line basis over a five year period, beginning at the commencement
of the Fund's operations in September 1994.

     2. EXEMPT-INTEREST DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

     The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular Federal income tax and from
designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed
to the shareholders of the Fund.

     Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are
declared and paid at least annually.

     3. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

     Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc., acts as investment manager to the Fund. The Fund pays
SBMFM a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Fund's average daily
net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

     All officers and two Directors of the Fund are employees of Smith Barney
Inc.

     4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

     For the three months ended November 30, 1996 the aggregate cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but
excluding short-term securities) were as follows:

================================================================================
Purchases                                                             $5,503,084
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales                                                                  6,027,124
================================================================================

     At November 30, 1996, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation of investments were as follows:

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                        $5,342,718*
Gross unrealized depreciation                                                --

================================================================================
* Substantially the same for Federal income tax purposes.

     5. PORTFOLIO CONCENTRATION

     Since each Portfolio invests primarily in obligations of issuers within
California, it is subject to possible concentration risks associated with
economic, political, or legal developments or industrial or regional matters
specifically affecting California.


                                                                              11

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Pursuant to the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("Plan"), all
distributions are automatically reinvested by First Data Investor Services
Group, Inc. as plan agent ("Plan Agent") in additional shares of the Fund's
Common Stock ("Common Shares") as provided below unless a shareholder elects to
receive cash.

     Distributions with respect to Common Shares registered in the name of a
broker-dealer or other nominee (i.e., in "Street Name") are reinvested by the
broker or nominee in additional Common Shares under the Plan, unless the service
is not provided by the broker or nominee. Investors who own Common Shares
registered in Street Name should consult their broker-dealer for details. All
distributions to shareholders who do not participate in the Plan are paid by
check, mailed directly to the record holder by the Plan Agent.

     If the Fund declares a distribution payable either in Common Shares or in
cash, nonparticipants in the Plan receive cash, and Plan participants receive
the equivalent in Common Shares valued in the following manner: whenever the
market price is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per share at the time
Common Shares are valued for the purpose of determining the number of Common
Shares equivalent to the cash distribution, participants are issued Common
Shares valued at the greater of (1) the net asset value most recently determined
or (2) 95% of the then current market price of the Common Shares.

     If the net asset value of the Common Shares at the time of valuation
exceeds the market price of the Common Shares, or if the Fund declares a
distribution payable only in cash, the Plan Agent buys Common Shares in the open
market, on the American Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the participants'
accounts. The Plan Agent applies all cash received as a distribution to purchase
Common Shares on the open market as soon as practicable after the record date of
the distribution, but in no event later than 30 days after such date, except
when necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the Federal securities
laws. If following the commencement of purchases and before the Plan Agent has
completed its purchases the market price exceeds the net asset value of the
Common Shares, the Plan Agent is permitted to cease purchasing shares on the
open market 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 Plan Agent has terminated open market purchases and the Fund has
issued the remaining shares, the number of shares received by the participant in
respect of the cash dividend or distribution will be based on the weighted
average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at
which the Fund issues the remaining shares.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited) (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Participants in the Plan may withdraw from the Plan upon written notice to
the Plan Agent which must be received at least ten business days prior to the
distribution record date to become effective for that distribution. Shares in
the account of each Plan participant are held by the Plan Agent in
non-certificated form in the name of the Plan Agent or participant. When a
participant withdraws from the Plan or upon termination of the Plan as provided
below, certificates for whole Fund shares credited to his or her account under
the Plan are issued and a cash payment is made for any fraction of a Fund share
credited to such account.

     The automatic reinvestment of distributions does not relieve participants
of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such distributions.

     The Fund does not charge participants for reinvesting distributions. Any
Plan Agent's fees for the handling of reinvestment of distributions under the
Plan are paid by the Fund. There are no brokerage charges with respect to Common
Shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of distributions payable either
in stock or in cash. However, each participant pays a pro-rata share of
brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent's open market
purchases in connection with the reinvestment of distributions.

     Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable.
Accordingly, the Fund and the Plan Agent reserve the right to amend the Plan as
applied to any distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the change sent
to all shareholders of the Fund at least 90 days before the record date for the
distribution. The Plan also may be terminated by the Fund or the Plan Agent by
at least 30 days' written notice to all shareholders of the Fund. All
correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at First
Data Investor Services Group, Inc., P.O. Box 1376, Boston, Massachusetts 02104.
