Cash and Government Portfolio Updates and Strategies

During the last quarter of 1998, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") was easing
its monetary policy to accommodate the world capital markets' reaction to the
Asian crisis. The 75 basis point decline in interest rates further fueled an
already strong U.S. economy. Moreover, lower interest rates brought domestic
home sales to record levels, and helped propel consumer demand and the stock
market higher.

The U.S. is now in its ninth year of economic expansion and the annual growth
rate is roughly 4%. Factors that were weakening economic growth such as the
crisis in Asia, a depressed U.S. manufacturing industry and falling commodity
prices have reversed. This has led the Fed to change its monetary stance to a
tightening bias. The capital markets now anticipate that the Federal Open Market
Committee will raise interest rates by 25 basis points in the near future*. As a
result, the short-term yield curve has steepened by about 40 basis points in one
year CDs from 5.00% in November 1998 to 5.40% as of the end of May 1999.

Throughout most of 1999 and in anticipation of higher rates, we continued to
shorten our average maturity from 71 days to 53 days in the Institutional Cash
Portfolio. The Institutional Cash Portfolio was 39.4% in domestic paper, 2.3% in
a government agency, 56% in foreign paper and 2.3% in a repurchase ageement at
the close of the reporting period. The average maturity for the Institutional
Government Portfolio was also reduced from 40 days to 25 days. At the end of May
1999, the Institutional Government Portfolio was 94% in government agencies and
6% in repurchase agreements.

Municipal Portfolio Update and Strategy

Over the past year, two factors have set the stage for decreased supply in the
municipal money market. Strong state fiscal positions, as a result of increased
income tax collections, have brought added liquidity to state and local
government general funds, which in turn has decreased the need for short-term
municipal note issuance. In the variable rate demand obligation ("VRDO") market,
decreasing supply has been the result of issuers extending out to the longer end
of the municipal bond yield curve in order to lock in historically low borrowing
rates. (VRDOs are demand instruments that usually have an indicated maturity of
more than one year, but contain a demand feature that enables the holder to
redeem the investment on no more than 30 days notice. These instruments provide
for automatic adjustment of new rates on set dates and are generally supported
by letters of credit issued by domestic or foreign banks.)

As a result of decreased supply coupled with strong demand from municipal money
market funds, we have seen rates historically rich compared to our taxable
counterparts. For most state and local governments, June signals the end of the
current fiscal year and the pricing of a large portion of their annual note
financings. With strong state finances we do not anticipate seeing an increase
in

- ----------
*     As anticipated, on June 30, 1999, the Fed raised short-term interest rates
      by 25 basis points.

annual cash flow borrowing, although we do expect an increase in state
infrastructure financing projects in the form of bond anticipation notes that
could help to ease supply concerns.

Looking forward, we expect VRDO market conditions to change. As inflationary
fears cause the municipal yield curve to steepen (i.e., long term municipal
rates increasing) there should be less incentive for municipal issuers to extend
out to the longer end of the municipal curve. Conversely, this should also
create additional incentive for issuers to use the VRDO market to ride out
higher borrowing rates on the longer end of the market.

In closing, thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Institutional Cash
Management Fund. We hope the Fund has proven to be a convenient, economical and
competitive vehicle for your short-term assets.

Sincerely,

Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    Significant Accounting Policies

Smith Barney Institutional Cash Management Fund, 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
three separate investment portfolios ("Portfolios"): Cash Portfolio ("Cash"),
Government Portfolio ("Government") and Municipal Portfolio ("Municipal").

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolios are:
(a) transactions in money market instruments and government obligations are
accounted for on trade date; (b) the Portfolios use the amortized cost method
for valuing investments; accordingly, the cost of securities plus accreted
discount, or minus amortized premium, approximates value; (c) interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis; (d) expenses are charged to each Portfolio and
each class; management fees and general fund expenses are allocated on the basis
of relative net assets; (e) the Portfolios intend 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 be relieved from substantially all Federal income and excise
taxes; and (f) 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

SSBC Fund Management Inc. ("SSBC"), formerly known as Mutual Management Corp., a
subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment
manager of the Fund. As compensation for its services, each Portfolio pays SSBC
a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.27% of the average daily net
assets of each Portfolio. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

For the year ended May 31, 1999, SSBC waived management fees of $782,506,
$200,682 and $219,394 for the Cash, Government and Municipal Portfolios,
respectively.

On October 8, 1998, CFBDS, Inc. became the Fund's distributor. Prior to that
date Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, was the
Fund's distributor. SSB, as well as certain other broker-dealers, continues to
sell Fund shares to the public as a member of the selling group.

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

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to its
Class B shares calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net
assets of each Portfolio's Class B shares. For the year ended May 31, 1999,
total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

                                  Cash            Government           Municipal
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees           $2,896               --                  $633
================================================================================

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

3.    Dividends, Exempt-Interest Dividends and Other Distributions

Each Portfolio declares and records a dividend of substantially all of its net
investment income on each business day. Such dividends are paid or reinvested
monthly in each respective Portfolio's shares on the payable date.

Furthermore, Municipal intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest
from municipal securities, which are exempt from regular Federal income tax and
from designated state income taxes, to retain such status when distributed to
its shareholders.

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

4.    Repurchase Agreements

The Fund 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 Fund requires continual maintenance
of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the
repurchase price.

5.    Capital Shares

At May 31, 1999, the Fund had 75,000,000,000 shares of capital stock authorized
with a par value of $0.00001 per share. The Fund has the ability to issue
multiple classes of shares within the Portfolios. 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 Directors of
Smith Barney Institutional Cash Management Fund, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, of the Cash, Government and Municipal Portfolios
of Smith Barney Institutional Cash Management Fund, Inc. as of May 31, 1999, and
the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended
and financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then
ended and for the period from June 16, 1995 (commencement of operations) to May
31, 1996. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.

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 May
31, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian. As to securities sold or
purchased but not yet delivered or received, 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
Cash, Government and Municipal Portfolios of Smith Barney Institutional Cash
Management Fund, Inc, as of May 31, 1999, the results of their operations for
the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in
the two-year period then ended and financial highlights for each of the years in
the three-year period then ended and for the period from June 16, 1995 to May
31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
