Cash and Government Portfolio Updates and Strategies
During the reporting period and in anticipation of higher rates, we kept the
average life in the Cash Portfolio at 51 days and below 40 days for the
Government Portfolio.

We anticipate keeping the Cash Portfolio's average life at or below 50 days over
the next several months in expectation of another Federal Reserve Board ("Fed")
interest rate hike in February 2000. Due to a strong U.S. economy and a
high-quality approved list of issuers, the credit quality of our investments
remains strong.

Municipal Money Market Updates and Strategies
During the reporting period, in expectation of increasing rates, we have
maintained a 50 to 55 day average maturity range and increased our variable rate
position in the Municipal Portfolio. Our approach to the municipal note market
has been to focus on the high-quality and liquid sectors of the market. For
example, one of the largest positions in the Portfolio is the Texas State Tax
and Revenue Anticipation Notes. Both Moody's and Standard & Poor's gave this
$3.9 billion issue their highest short-term ratings. Due to the size of the
offering and its appeal to investors, the Texas State Tax and Revenue
Anticipation Notes are considered to be one of the more liquid note deals in the
market.

Market Update and Outlook
During the last quarter of 1998, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") eased
monetary policy to accommodate the world capital markets' reaction to the Asian
crisis. The 75-basis-point decline in interest rates contributed to the
continuing strength of the U.S. economy. Moreover, lower interest rates brought
domestic home sales to record levels, and helped drive consumer demand and stock
market prices generally higher.

The U.S. is now in its ninth year of economic expansion and is growing at a
4.00% annual rate per year. The weakness of the Asian economies, the problems of
the U.S. manufacturing industry and the decline in commodity prices reversed
during the reporting period. This led the Fed to change its monetary stance to a
"tightening bias" and raise short-term interest rates from 4.75% to 5.50% on the
overnight federal funds rate.

As a result, the short-term yield curve has steepened by 125 basis points.
One-year certificates of deposit rose from 5.00% in January to 6.25% in
November. We expect that the Fed may find it necessary to raise rates perhaps an
additional 75 basis points in the year 2000 to help the U.S. economy to continue
to grow at a sustainable pace.

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

SSB Citi Fund Management LLC ("SSBC"), formerly known as SSBC Fund Management
Inc., 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 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 six months ended November 30, 1999, SSBC waived management fees of
$401,020, $269,398 and $92,279 for the Cash, Government and Municipal
Portfolios, respectively.

Effective October 1999, Smith Barney Private Trust Company ("Private Trust"),
another subsidiary of Citigroup, became the Fund's transfer agent and PFPC
Global Fund Services ("PFPC") became the sub-transfer agent. Private Trust
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 Private Trust.



                       See Notes to Financial Statements.

<PAGE>

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

During the period October 1, 1999 through November 30, 1999, the Cash,
Government and Municipal Portfolios paid transfer agent fees of $48,872, $6,264
and $4,254, respectively, to Private Trust.

CFBDS, Inc. acts as the Fund's distributor. Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"),
another subsidiary of SSBH, as well as certain other broker-dealers, continues
to sell Fund shares to the public as a member of the selling group.

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 six months ended November 30,
1999, total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

                                       Cash         Government        Municipal
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distribution Plan Fees                  --              --               $310
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 November 30, 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.

Transactions in shares of each Portfolio were as follows:
