Letter from the Chairman

R. JAY GERKEN, CFA Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder, The U.S. economy was surprisingly resilient during the fiscal year of this report. While surging oil prices, rising interest rates, and the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita threatened to derail the economic expansion, growth remained solid throughout the period. After a 3.3% advance in the second quarter of 2005, third quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”)i growth grew to 4.3%, marking the tenth consecutive quarter in which GDP growth grew 3.0% or more.      As expected, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ii continued to raise interest rates in an attempt to ward off inflation. After raising rates three times from June 2004 through September 2004, the Fed increased its target for the federal funds rateiii in 0.25% increments eight additional times over the reporting period. The Fed again raised rates in early November, after the Fund’s reporting period had ended. All told, these twelve rate hikes by the Fed have brought the target for the federal funds rate from 1.00% to 4.00%. This represents the longest sustained Fed tightening cycle since 1976-1979.      During much of the fiscal year, the fixed income market confounded investors as short term interest rates rose in concert with the Fed rate tightening, while longer-term rates, surprisingly, declined. However, due to a spike late in the period, the 10-year Treasury yield was 4.56% on October 31 2005, versus 4.11% when reporting the period began. Nevertheless, this was still lower than its yield of 4.62% when the Fed began its tightening cycle on June 30, 2004. Looking at the one-year period as a whole, the overall bond market, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index,iv returned 1.13%.

     The high yield market was volatile but ended the fiscal year in positive territory. High yield bonds fell sharply in the Spring of 2005 as investors became concerned over the bond downgrades for General Motors and Ford Motor Company. However, the high yield market subsequently rallied as the uncertainty surrounding the downgrades lifted and investors searched for incremental yield. Over the reporting period, the Citigroup High Yield Market Index,^v returned 3.55%.

     During the fiscal year, emerging markets debt, as represented by the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (“EMBI Global”)^vi returned a strong 10.54% . Continued strength in commodity prices, including metals, agriculture, and oil supported many emerging market countries and more than offset the negatives associated with rising U.S. interest rates.

     Please read on for a more detailed look at prevailing economic and market conditions during the Fund’s fiscal year covered by this report and to learn how those conditions have affected Fund performance.

Special Shareholder Notice

On December 1, 2005, Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) completed the sale of substantially all of its asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), to Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”). As a result, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Manager”), previously an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg Mason. Completion of the sale caused the Fund’s existing investment management contract to terminate. As of December 19, 2005, the Fund’s shareholders had not yet approved the new investment management contract.

     As a result, the Fund’s Board has approved an interim investment management contract with the Manager to ensure that the Fund’s assets continue to be managed without interruption. If a new management contract is not approved by April 30, 2006, the interim management contract will terminate on that date. Management fees will be held in escrow and not paid to the Manager until shareholders approve the new investment management contract with the Manager. If shareholders do not approve the contract, the management fees held in escrow will be disbursed in accordance with applicable law.

Information About Your Fund

As you may be aware, several issues in the mutual fund industry have recently come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators. The Fund’s Manager and some of its affiliates have received requests for information from various government regulators regarding market timing, late trading, fees, and other mutual fund issues in connection with various investigations. The regulators appear to be examining, among other things, the open-end fund’s response to market timing and shareholder exchange activity, including compliance with prospectus disclosure related to these subjects. The Fund has been informed that the Manager and its affiliates are responding to those information requests, but are not in a position to predict the outcome of these requests and investigations.

     Important information concerning the Fund and its Manager with regard to recent regulatory developments is contained in the Notes to Financial Statements included in this report.

     As previously described in proxy statements that were mailed to shareholders of the Fund in connection with the transaction, Legg Mason intends to combine the fixed-income operations of the Manager with those of Legg Mason’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Asset Management Company, and its affiliates, (“Western Asset”). This combination will involve Western Asset and the Manager sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment trading platforms, and other resources. At a future date Legg Mason expects to recommend to the Boards of Directors of the Fund that Western Asset be appointed as the adviser or sub-adviser to the Fund, subject to applicable regulatory requirements. The combination is also expected to result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of funds, subject to Board oversight and appropriate notice to shareholders.

     The Fund has been advised by the Manager that, in anticipation of this combination, Legg Mason and Western Asset have come to a mutually beneficial agreement with a select group of portfolio managers and other investment professionals from the Manager of the Fund, including Peter Wilby. The agreement provides them the opportunity to start a new firm based in New York focusing on high yield, emerging market debt, and specialty fixed income strategies. Importantly, the group has committed to remain employed with the Manager through March 31, 2006 to assist in the orderly integration of the fixed-income operations of the Manager, including the management of the Fund, with those of Western Asset.

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc.      3

Western Asset has also entered into a consulting agreement with the group, effective as of April 1, 2006, to ensure an effective and orderly transition of portfolio management and Board liaison responsibilities for the funds to Western Asset The Board will be working with the Manager, Western Asset, and the portfolio managers to implement an orderly combination of the Manager’s fixed income operations and Western Asset in the best interests of the Fund and its share holders.

     As always, thank you for your confidence in our steward ship of your assets. We look forward to helping you continue to meet your financial goals.

Sincerely,

R. Jay Gerken, CFA

Manager Overview

Q.  What were the overall market conditions during the Fund’s reporting period?

A.  During the 12 months ended October 31, 2005, markets were primarily driven by the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ⁱ activity, employment and inflation data and rising energy costs, exacerbated near period-end by the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Fed’s eight “measured” 25-basis-pointⁱⁱ hikes during the period brought the federal funds rate to 3.75% from 1.75% by the reporting period’s end. The Fed raised the federal funds rateⁱⁱⁱ an additional quarter point to 4.00% on November 1st, after the close of the reporting period. These measured, consecutive rate hikes exerted upward pressure on short-term bond yields, driving 2-year yields up about 183 basis points during the 12 months. However, in what Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan termed a “conundrum,” yields on the long bond stayed low during the period, even declining slightly (four basis points) over the 12 months despite relinquishing all gains to end 53 basis points higher by period-end. This sharp rise in short yields and relative stagnation in longer yields resulted in the extensive yield curve^iv flattening seen during the period.

     As the market fully expected each 25-basis-point hike in the federal funds rate during the period – thanks to the Fed’s well-advertised intentions to raise rates at a measured pace – investors spent much of the reporting period dissecting language from the Fed for clues on its assessment of the U.S. economy and the pace of rate hikes. The Fed reiterated throughout the year that it would increase rates “at a pace that is likely to be measured” and, starting in June 2004, added that, “the Committee will respond to changes in economic prospects as needed to fulfill its obligation to maintain price stability.” In its most recent statement (from the September 20th meeting), the Fed noted that core inflation remained low near the end of the period and long-term inflation expectations remained “contained” (even if the language was downgraded from the “well contained” language used at prior meetings).

     Slowing global growth, rising inflation and surging oil prices undoubtedly restrained economic activity during the reporting period, with Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”)^v declining year-over-year to 3.8% growth in first quarter 2005 (from first quarter 2004’s 4.5% pace) and to 3.4% growth in second quarter 2005 (from second quarter 2004’s 3.5%) . However, economic growth remained remarkably resilient into the third quarter, particularly after fears of a sharp slowdown in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, gaining 3.8% on an annualized basis versus 3.9% last year and consensus expectations of 3.6% growth. Although growth remained strong throughout the reporting period, fears of potential slowing, combined with increasing inflation, drove markets. Oil prices, which breached $70 per barrel before reporting period-end, continue to cast a pall on growth and consumer spending expectations.

     This was particularly true in the latter half of the reporting period, as investors assessed the potential impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on U.S. economic growth, inflation and the pace of interest rates and growth indicators turned increasingly mixed. For example, the U.S. labor market began to pick up in early 2004 and continued to improve through most of the Fund’s fiscal year, although the pace of improvement remained uneven from month to month. Unemployment fell through the majority of the reporting period, declining from 5.5% in October 2004 to 4.9% in August 2005. However, employment skyrocketed, even if not as much as expected, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and the

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report      5

unemployment rate rose to 5.0% in October. Industrial production and retail sales also remained positive through most of the reporting period, even considering the volatility in the auto sector as General Motors and Ford were successively downgraded by three major statistical credit rating agencies to below investment grade. Again, however, as with employment, industrial production and retail sales data turned negative near the reporting period’s end as the effects of Hurricane Katrina roiled through the economy, reductions in auto production hit the market and the highly successful automotive dealer incentive packages offered through the summer came to an end.

     While inflationary pressures from sustained high commodity prices began to creep into the economy, particularly near the end of the reporting period, continued strong growth and limited wage pressures are keeping long-term inflation expectations “contained”. Core inflation rates, in particular, remained subdued throughout the period despite growing inflationary pressure. Specifically, Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rose only 0.1% year-over-year to 2.1% in October 2005, and core Producer Price Index (PPI) inflation edged up only 0.1% year-over-year to 1.9% in September 2005. However, both consumer and producer headline inflation rose dramatically by period end as continually high and rising energy prices and competitive pricing pressures began to be passed through to the consumer. Headline CPI inflation rose approximately 1.1% to 4.3% in October 2005 versus October 2004, and headline PPI inflation increased 1.5% to 5.9% over the same period. Pricing pressures were also seen in the core PCE deflator, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, which rose 0.5% versus September 2004 to 2.0% year-over-year in the latest September reading.

Performance Review

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2005, the Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund returned –2.32%, based on its New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) market price and 3.42% based on its net asset value (“NAV”)^vi per share. In comparison, the Fund’s unmanaged benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Global Real Index: U.S. TIPS^vii, returned 2.94% and its Lipper General U.S. Government Closed-End Funds Category Average^viii increased 2.85% over the same time frame. Please note that Lipper performance returns are based on each Fund’s NAV.

     During the 12-month period, the Fund made distributions to shareholders totaling $1.1810 per share, (which may have included a return of capital). The performance table shows the Fund’s 12-month total return based on its NAV and market price as of October 31, 2005. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

6      Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report

Q.  What were the most significant factors affecting Fund performance? What were the leading contributors to performance?

A.  The portfolio’s underweight allocation to the shorter portion of the U.S. TIPS yield curve and overweight in the 20+ year portion of the TIPS yield curve positively contributed to performance during the 12 months ending October 31,2005, as short yields rose dramatically during the period as the curve flattened. In addition, our allocation to floating-rate asset-backed securities (ABS) performed well versus other fixed income asset classes, as returns rose in step with increases in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), which, in turn, increased on the back of hikes in the federal funds rate. The Fund’s minor allocation to emerging markets debt also contributed to performance during the period, as emerging markets advanced amid continued strong market fundamentals and technicals.

Q.  What were the leading detractors from performance?

A.  Although short-term adjustable yields rose during the annual period, the Fund’s shorter overall duration position versus the benchmark detracted from the Fund’s relative performance early in the period, as longer-dated securities rallied on heightened inflation fears and breakevens¹ continued to rise. We continue to maintain our exposure to floating-rate asset-backed securities (“ABS floaters”) as a hedge against any potential moderation or even decline in inflation, during which times ABS floaters tend to outperform traditional U.S. TIPS while nominal yields continue to rise.

1      Breakevens are the difference in yields between U.S. TIPS and nominals and the market’s implied inflation forecast.

Q.  Were there any significant changes to the Fund during the reporting period?

A.  We reduced overall duration in the portfolio versus the benchmark in advance of the remarkable yield curve flattening seen during the 12 months ended October 31, 2005. Although remaining somewhat defensive (i.e., slightly short), we brought the portfolio’s duration closer to neutral as rates backed up and the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond sold off in the latter half of the period. We also removed our yield curve flattener trade, in which we had underweighted the short-end of the yield curve and overweighted the long end in anticipation of further flattening.

     Late in the 12 months ending October 31, 2005, we took profits in our emerging markets debt allocation as the tightening of spreads reached near all-time highs and reinvested assets into U.S. Treasuries.

RISKS: The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on fund performance. If interest rates rise, but the rate of inflation does not, the Fund’s performance will be adversely affected. The Fund is not diversified, which means that it is permitted to invest a higher percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund. This may magnify the fund’s losses from events affecting a particular issuer. All index performance reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

20      Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

The Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. (“Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on March 16, 2004 and is registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Board of Directors authorized 100 million shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek total return. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks high current income.

     The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). 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.

     (a)   Investment Valuation. Debt securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in debt obligations, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. When prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

     (b)   Repurchase Agreements. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian or a third party custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities, the market value of which at least equals the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults, and the market value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

     (c)   Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements in which the Fund sells portfolio securities and agrees to repurchase them from the buyer at a specified date and price. Whenever the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund’s custodian delivers liquid assets to the counterparty in an amount at least equal to the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The Fund pays interest on amounts obtained pursuant to reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings which may create leverage risk for the Fund.

     (d)   Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-US dollar denominated securities or to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report      21

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

transactions. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.

     Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

     (e)   Loan Participations. The Fund may invest in loans arranged through private negotiation between one or more financial institutions. The Fund’s investment in any such loan may be in the form of a participation in or an assignment of the loan. In connection with purchasing participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower and the Fund may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation.

     The Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower, the lender that is selling the participation and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower.

     (f )   Credit Default Swaps. The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts for investment purposes, to manage its credit risk or to add leverage. As a seller in a credit default swap contract, the Fund is required to pay the notional or other agreed-upon value to the counterparty in the event of a default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the referenced debt obligation. In return, the Fund receives from the coun-terparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Fund keeps the stream of payments and has no payment obligations. Such periodic payments are accrued daily and accounted for as realized gain.

     The Fund may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities held, in which case the Fund functions as the counterparty referenced in the preceding paragraph. As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund receives the notional or other agreed upon value from the counterparty in the event of a default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the referenced debt obligation. In return, the Fund makes periodic payments to the counterparty over the term of the contract provided no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily and accounted for as realized loss.

     Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Fund’s

22      Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Statement of Operations. For a credit default swap sold by the Fund, payment of the agreed upon amount made by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. For a credit default swap purchased by the Fund, the agreed upon amount received by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as proceeds from sale/delivery of the referenced debt obligation and the resulting gain or loss realized on the referenced debt obligation is recorded as such by the Fund.

     Entering into credit default swaps involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the related amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there will be unfavorable changes in net interest rates.

     (g)   Credit and Market Risk. The Fund invests in high yield and emerging market instruments that are subject to certain credit and market risks. The yields of high yield and emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit and market risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk related to timely and ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of investments held by the Fund. The Fund’s investment in non-dollar denominated securities may also result in foreign currency losses caused by devaluations and exchange rate fluctuations.

     (h)   Cash Flow Information. The Fund invests in securities and distributes dividends from net investment income and net realized gains, which are paid in cash and may be reinvested at the discretion of shareholders. These activities are reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and additional information on cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows.

     (i)   Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method.

     (j)   Foreign Currency Translation. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions.

     The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

     Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or losses realized

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report      23

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, at the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

     Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

     (k)   Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from net investment income for the Fund, if any, are declared and paid on a monthly basis. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

     (l)   Federal and Other Taxes. It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains on investments, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

     (m)   Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. During the current year, the following reclassifications have been made:

	Undistributed Net
	Investment	Accumulated Net
	Income	Realized Gain
(a)	$3,155,274	$(3,155,274)

(a) Reclassifications are primarily due to foreign currency transactions treated as ordinary income for tax purposes, differences between book and tax amortization of premium on fixed income securities, and income from mortgage backed securities treated as capital gains for tax purposes, book/tax differences in the treatment of passive foreign investment companies and book/tax differences in the treatment of credit default swap contracts.

2.   Management and Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund entered into an investment advisory and administration agreement with Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (“SBAM”), which for the period of this report was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”). SBAM provides all management, advisory and administration services for the Fund.

     The Fund currently pays SBAM a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets plus any borrowings for its services.

24      Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

     At October 31, 2005, Citigroup Financial Products Inc., another indirectly, wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, held 5,708 shares of the Fund.

     The officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of CAM and do not receive compensation from the Fund.

3.  Investments

During the year ended October 31, 2005, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) and U.S. Government & Agency Obligations were as follows:

	Investments	U.S. Government & Agency Obligations
Purchases	$ 49,220,860	$127,928,835
Sales	66,720,262	47,046,201

     At October 31, 2005, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation	$	3,094,684
Gross unrealized depreciation		(6,926,135	)
Net unrealized depreciation	$	(3,831,451	)

Average	Weighted	Maximum
Daily	Average	Amount
Balance	Interest Rate	Outstanding
$88,314,631	2.91%	$95,487,500

     Interest rates on reverse repurchase agreements ranged from 1.750% to 3.800% during the year ended October 31, 2005. Interest expense incurred on reverse repurchase agreements totaled $2,604,848.

	(Cost — $93,642,500)	$93,642,500

4.  Dividends Subsequent to October 31, 2005

On July 25, 2005, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Fund declared a distribution in the amount of $0.0875 per share payable on November 25, 2005 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2005.

     On November 18, 2005, the Fund’s board declared three common stock distributions in the amount of $0.0875 per share payable on December 30, 2005, January 27, 2006 and February 24, 2006 to shareholders of record on December 27, 2005, January 24, 2006 and February 21, 2006, respectively. Additionally, the board declared a common stock distribution of $0.3900 per share from income, $0.2958 per share from short-term capital gains and $0.0837 per share from long-term capital gains payable on December 30, 2005 to shareholders of record on December 27, 2005.

5. Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended October 31, were as follows:

	2005	2004
Ordinary Income	$11,375,988	$2,526,147
Total Distributions Paid	$11,375,988	$2,526,147

26      Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

     As of October 31, 2005, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income — net	$     4,532,506
Undistributed long-term capital gains — net	805,566
Total Undistributed Earnings	$     5,338,072
Unrealized depreciation (a)	(3,831,537	)
Total Accumulated Earnings/(losses) — net	$     1,506,535

(a) The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized depreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the difference between book and tax amortization methods for premiums on fixed income securities.

     During the taxable year ended October 31, 2005, the Fund utilized $172,688 of its capital loss carryover available from prior periods.

6.  Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund effective June 17, 2005. The Fund’s Audit Committee approved the engagement of KPMG LLP as the Fund’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2005. A majority of the Fund’s Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent Directors, approved the appointment of KPMG LLP, subject to the right of the Fund, by a majority vote of the shareholders at any meeting called for that purpose, to terminate the appointment without penalty.

     The report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Fund’s financial statements for the period May 25, 2004 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2004 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There have been no disagreements with Price-waterhouseCoopers LLP during the period May 25, 2004 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2004 and any subsequent interim period on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such period.

7.  Regulatory Matters

On May 31, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued an order in connection with the settlement of an administrative proceeding against SBFM and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”) relating to the appointment of an affiliated transfer agent for the Smith Barney family of mutual funds (the “Affected Funds”).

     The SEC order finds that SBFM and CGM willfully violated Section 206(1) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”). Specifically, the order finds that SBFM and CGM knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose to the boards of the Affected Funds in 1999 when proposing a new transfer agent arrangement with an affiliated transfer agent that: First Data Investors Services Group (“First Data”), the Affected Funds’ then-existing transfer agent, had offered to continue as transfer agent and do the same work for substantially less money than before; and that Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit that, at the time, included the fund’s investment manager and other

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report      27

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

investment advisory companies, had entered into a side letter with First Data under which CAM agreed to recommend the appointment of First Data as sub-transfer agent to the affiliated transfer agent in exchange for, among other things, a guarantee by First Data of specified amounts of asset management and investment banking fees to CAM and CGM. The order also finds that SBFM and CGM willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act by virtue of the omissions discussed above and other misrepresentations and omissions in the materials provided to the Affected Funds’ boards, including the failure to make clear that the affiliated transfer agent would earn a high profit for performing limited functions while First Data continued to perform almost all of the transfer agent functions, and the suggestion that the proposed arrangement was in the Affected Funds’ best interests and that no viable alternatives existed. SBFM and CGM do not admit or deny any wrongdoing or liability. The settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding.

     The SEC censured SBFM and CGM and ordered them to cease and desist from violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act. The order requires Citigroup to pay $208.1 million, including $109 million in disgorgement of profits, $19.1 million in interest, and a civil money penalty of $80 million. Approximately $24.4 million has already been paid to the Affected Funds, primarily through fee waivers. The remaining $183.7 million, including the penalty, has been paid to the U.S. Treasury and will be distributed pursuant to a plan prepared and submitted for approval by the SEC. The order also requires that transfer agency fees received from the Funds since December 1, 2004 less certain expenses be placed in escrow and provides that a portion of such fees may be subsequently distributed in accordance with the terms of the order.

     The order required SBFM to recommend a new transfer agent contract to the Affected Fund boards within 180 days of the entry of the order; if a Citigroup affiliate submitted a proposal to serve as transfer agent or sub-transfer agent, SBFM and CGM would have been required, at their expense, to engage an independent monitor to oversee a competitive bidding process. On November 21, 2005, and within the specified timeframe, the Fund’s Board approved a new transfer agent contract for the Fund. No Citigroup affiliate submitted a proposal to serve as transfer agent. Under the order, SBFM also must comply with an amended version of a vendor policy that Citigroup instituted in August 2004.

     At this time, there is no certainty as to how the proceeds of the settlement will be distributed, to whom such distributions will be made, the methodology by which such distributions will be allocated, and when such distributions will be made. Although there can be no assurance, SBFM does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Affected Funds.

     This Fund is not one of the Affected Funds and therefore did not implement the transfer agent arrangement described above and therefore will not receive any portion of the distributions.

     On December 1, 2005, Citigroup completed the sale of substantially all of its global asset management business, including SBFM, to Legg Mason Inc.

28      Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

8.  Other Matters

The Fund has received information as follows:

     On September 16, 2005, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) informed SBAM that the staff is considering recommending that the Commission institute administrative proceedings against SBAM for alleged violations of Sections 19(a) and 34(b) of the Investment Company Act (and related Rule 19a-1). The notification is a result of an industry wide inspection undertaken by the Commission and is based upon alleged deficiencies in disclosures regarding dividends and distributions paid to shareholders of certain funds. In connection with the contemplated proceedings, the staff may seek a cease and desist order and/or monetary damages from SBAM.

     Although there can be no assurance, SBAM believes that this matter is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or SBAM’s ability to perform investment advisory services relating to the Fund.

9.  Subsequent Events

On December 1, 2005, Citigroup completed the sale of substantially all of its asset management business, CAM, to Legg Mason. As a result, the Fund’s Manager, previously an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg Mason. Completion of the sale caused the Fund’s existing investment management contract to terminate. As of December 19, 2005, the Fund’s shareholders had not yet approved the new investment management contract.

     As a result, the Fund’s Board has approved an interim investment management contract with the Manager to ensure that the Fund’s assets continue to be managed without interruption. If a new management contract is not approved by April 30, 2006, the interim management contract will terminate on that date. Management fees will be held in escrow and not paid to the Manager until shareholders approve the new investment management contract with the Manager. If shareholders do not approve the contract(s), the management fees held in escrow will be disbursed in accordance with applicable law.

     Legg Mason, whose principal executive offices are at 100 Light Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, is a financial services holding company. As of December 2, 2005, Legg Mason’s asset management operation had aggregate assets under management of approximately $830 billion.

     Effective December 1, 2005, CGM will no longer be an affiliated person of the Fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As a result, the Fund will be permitted to execute transactions with CGM or an affiliate of CGM as agent without the restrictions applicable to transactions with affiliated persons. Similarly, the Fund generally will be permitted to purchase securities in underwritings in which CGM or an affiliate of CGM is a member without the restrictions imposed by certain rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Manager’s use of CGM or affiliates of CGM as agent in portfolio transactions with the Fund will be governed by the Fund’s policy of seeking the best overall terms available.

     Certain officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of Legg Mason or its affiliates and do not receive compensation from the Fund.

     The Fund’s Board has approved American Stock Transfer & Trust Co. (“AST”) to serve as transfer agent for the Fund. The principal business office of AST is located at 59 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. as of October 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, statement of cash flows, and the financial highlights for the year then ended. 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 audit. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period May 25, 2004 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2004 were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report thereon, dated December 21, 2004 expressed an unqualified opinion on that financial statement and those financial highlights.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures.

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report      31

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited)

Background

The members of the Board of Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. (the “Fund”), including the Fund’s independent, or non-interested, Board members (the “Independent Board Members”), received extensive information from the Fund’s manager (the “Manager”) to assist them in their consideration of the Fund’s management agreement (the “Management Agreement”). This includes a variety of information about the Manager, including the advisory arrangements for the Fund and other funds overseen by the Board, certain portions of which are discussed below.

     At an in-person meeting held on July 25 and 26, 2005, a presentation was made to the Board by the Manager that encompassed the Fund and all the funds for which the Board has responsibility. The Board evaluated information made available on a fund-by-fund basis and its determinations were made separately in respect of each fund, including the Fund. The Fund has a combined investment advisory and administration agreement. The discussion below covers both advisory and administrative functions being rendered by the Manager.

Board Approval of Management Agreement

The Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Management Agreement for a period of up to one year concluding, in doing so, that the Manager should continue to be the Fund’s investment adviser and that the compensation payable under the agreement is fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, expenses incurred and such other matters as the Board considered relevant in the exercise of its business judgment. In approving continuance of the Management Agreement, the Board considered the announcement on June 24, 2005 by Citigroup that it had signed a definitive agreement under which Citigroup will sell substantially all of its worldwide asset management business to Legg Mason, Inc. Upon completion of this transaction the Manager, which was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, would become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. and the Management Agreement will terminate. Other factors considered and conclusions rendered by the Board in determining to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement included the following:

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services under the Management Agreement

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Manager under the Management Agreement during the past year. The Board also received a description of the administrative and other services rendered to the Fund and its shareholders by the Manager. The Board noted that it had received information at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by the Manager about the management of the Fund’s affairs and the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Fund’s other service providers. The Board’s evaluation of the services provided by the Manager took into account the Board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as Board members of funds in the Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”) fund complex, including the scope and quality of the Manager’s investment management and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The Board considered that the scope of services provided by the Manager had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitor-

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited) (continued)

ing its own and the Fund’s expanded compliance programs. The Board also considered the Manager’s response to recent regulatory compliance issues affecting it and the CAM fund complex. The Board reviewed information received from the Manager regarding the implementation to date of the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     The Board reviewed information describing the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Fund’s senior personnel and the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Board also considered the willingness of the Manager to consider and implement organizational changes to improve investment results and the services provided to the CAM fund complex. The Board also considered financial information from the Manager and based on its general knowledge of the Manager, affiliates, the financial resources available to CAM and its then parent organization, Citigroup Inc.

     The Board also considered information presented regarding the Manager’s brokerage policies and practices, the standards applied in seeking best execution, the use of a broker affiliated with the Manager and the existence of quality controls applicable to brokerage allocation procedures. In addition, the Manager also reported to the Board on, among other things, its business plans, recent organizational changes and portfolio manager compensation plan.

     The Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) under the Management Agreement.

Fund Performance

The Board received and considered performance information for the Fund as well as for a group of funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the funds included in the Performance Universe. The Board also noted that it had received information prepared by the Manager throughout the year at periodic intervals comparing the Fund’s performance against its bench-mark(s) and Lipper peers.

     The information comparing the Fund’s performance to that of its Performance Universe, consisting of all closed-end funds classified as “leveraged and non-leveraged general government funds” by Lipper, showed that the Fund’s performance since inception presented was below the median.

     Based on their review, which included consideration of all of the factors noted above, and recognizing the limited number of funds in the Performance Universe and given the Fund had been in existence for less than one year, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Fund has been satisfactory.

Management Fees and Expense Ratios

The Board considered the contractual management fee (the “Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to the Manager in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services provided by the Manager. Additionally, the Board received and considered information prepared by Lipper comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fees

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report      33

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited) (continued)

and the Fund’s overall expenses with those of funds in a relevant expense group and a broader group of funds, each selected and provided by Lipper. The Board also reviewed information regarding fees charged by the Manager to other U.S. clients investing primarily in an asset class similar to that of the Fund including, where applicable, separate accounts. The Manager reviewed with the Board the significant differences in scope of services provided to the Fund and the scope of the services provided to these other clients, noting that, unlike such other clients, the Fund is provided with administrative services, office facilities, Fund officers (including the Fund’s chief executive, chief financial and chief compliance officers), and that the Manager coordinates and oversees the provision of services to the Fund by other Fund providers. The Board considered the fee comparisons in light of the broader range of services provided to the Fund and did not place a significant weight on this factor. The Board received an analysis of complex-wide management fees provided by the Manager, which, among other things, set out a proposed framework of fees based on asset classes.

     The information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fees as well as its actual total expense ratio to its Expense Group, consisting of 4 closed-end funds (including the Fund) classified as “leveraged and non-leveraged general government funds” by Lipper, showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fees were below the median range of management fees paid by the other funds in the Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual total expense ratio was above the median, and concluded that the expense ratio of the Fund was acceptable in the light of the quality of the services the Fund received and such other factors as the Board considered relevant.

     Taking all of the above into consideration, the Board determined that the Fund’s Management Fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement.

     The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s determination to approve the continuance of the Management Agreement (including the determinations that the Manager should continue to serve as the investment adviser to the Fund and that the fees payable to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement are appropriate) included the following:

Manager Profitability

The Board considered information regarding the profitability to Manager and its affiliates of their relationships with the Fund. The Board also received profitability information with respect to the CAM fund complex as a whole. In addition, the Board received information with respect to the Manager’s allocation methodologies used in preparing this profitability data as well as a report from an outside consultant that had reviewed the Manager’s methodology. Based upon their review of the information made available, the Board concluded that the Manager’s profitability was not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of Scale

The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether, given the Fund’s closed-

34      Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited) (continued)

end structure, there is a realistic potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders. The Board also considered whether alternative fee structures (such as breakpoints at lower asset levels) would be more appropriate or reasonable taking into consideration economies of scale or other efficiencies. The Board also noted that as the Fund’s assets have increased over time, it has realized other economies of scale, as certain expenses, such as fees for Board members, auditors and legal fees, become a smaller percentage of overall assets.

     Generally, in light of the Manager’s profitability data, and such other factors as the Board considered relevant, the Board concluded that the Manager’s sharing of current economies of scale with the Fund was reasonable.

Other Benefits to the Manager

The Board considered other benefits received by the Manager and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including soft dollar arrangements and the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders.

     In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and the Manager’s ongoing commitment to the Fund, other ancillary benefits that the Manager and its affiliates received were not considered unreasonable to the Board.

Additional Information

On June 23, 2005, Citigroup Inc. entered into a definitive agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Legg Mason, Inc. under which Citigroup agreed to sell substantially all of its asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), which includes the Adviser, to Legg Mason in exchange for the broker-dealer and investment banking businesses of Legg Mason and certain other considerations (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on December 1, 2005.

     The consummation of the Transaction resulted in the automatic termination of the Fund’s current management agreement for each CAM-advised Fund overseen by the Board (the “CAM Funds”) including the Fund (each, a “Current Management Agreement”) in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). At meetings held on August 12, 2005, the Fund’s Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved a new management agreement between each CAM fund including, the Fund and the Adviser (each, a “New Management Agreement”) and authorized the Fund’s officers to submit the New Management Agreement to shareholders for their approval.

     In anticipation of the Transaction, members of the Fund’s Board met in person on July 11, 2005 and August 12, 2005 for purposes of, among other things, considering whether it would be in the best interests of each CAM fund and its shareholders to approve the New Management Agreement between the fund and the fund’s Adviser. At those Board meetings, and for the reasons discussed below, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved each New Management Agreement and unanimously recommended its approval by shareholders in order to assure continuity of investment advisory services to the CAM fund after the Transaction.

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report      35

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited) (continued)

     To assist the Boards in their consideration of the New Management Agreements, Legg Mason provided materials and information about Legg Mason, including its financial condition and asset management capabilities and organization, and Legg Mason and CAM provided materials and information about the Transaction between Legg Mason and Citigroup. The Independent Board Members, through their independent legal counsel, also requested and received additional information from CAM and Legg Mason in connection with their consideration of the agreements. The additional information was provided in advance of and at the August meetings. In addition, the Independent Board Members consulted with their counsel on various occasions on, and received from their counsel a memorandum outlining, among other things, the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Board Members’ deliberations.

     On July 11, 2005 and August 12, 2005, members of the Boards discussed with CAM management and certain Legg Mason representatives the Transaction and Legg Mason’s general plans and intentions regarding CAM funds, including the preservation, strengthening and growth of CAM’s business and its combination with Legg Mason’s business. The Board Members also inquired about the plans for and anticipated roles and responsibilities of certain CAM employees and officers after the Transaction. The Independent Board Members of the Board also conferred separately and with their counsel about the Transaction on a number of occasions, including in connection with the July discussion and August meetings.

     At the Board’s August meeting, representatives of CAM and Legg Mason made presentations to and responded to questions from the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the Independent Board Members met in executive session with their counsel to consider the New Management Agreement.

Among other things, the Board Members considered:

(i)

the reputation, financial strength and resources of Legg Mason and its investment advisory subsidiaries;

(ii)

that Legg Mason and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Asset Management Company and its affiliates (“Western Asset”), are experienced and respected asset management firms, and that Legg Mason has advised the Board Members that (a) it intends to combine the fixed income investment operations (including money mar- ket fund operations) of CAM with those of Western Asset and may also wish to combine other CAM operations with those of other Legg Mason subsidiaries; (b) after the closing of the Transaction, it will take steps to combine the investment management operations of Western Asset with the fixed income operations of the Adviser to CAM funds, which, among other things, may involve Western Asset, the Adviser to CAM funds sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources; (c) it is expected that these combination processes will result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of CAM funds, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders, and that, in other cases, the current portfolio managers or portfolio management teams will remain in place; and (d) in the future, it may recommend that Western Asset or other Legg

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited) (continued)

	Mason subsidiaries be appointed as the adviser or subadviser to certain CAM fund, including the Fund, subject to applicable regulatory requirements;
(iii)	that CAM management and Legg Mason have advised the Boards that following the Transaction, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to each CAM fund, including the Fund, and its shareholders by the Adviser, including compliance services;
(iv)	the assurances from Citigroup and Legg Mason that, for a three year period fol- lowing the closing of the Transaction, the Adviser will have substantially the same access to the Citigroup sales force when distributing shares of CAM funds as is currently provided to CAM and that other arrangements between the Adviser and Citigroup sales channels will be preserved;
(v)	that Legg Mason and Citigroup intend to enter into an agreement in connection with the Transaction under which Citigroup-affiliated broker-dealers will continue to offer CAM funds as investment products, and the potential benefits to fund shareholders from this and other third-party distribution access;
(vi)	the potential benefits to CAM fund shareholders from being part of a combined fund family with Legg Mason-sponsored funds, including possible economies of scale and access to investment opportunities;
(vii)	that Citigroup and Legg Mason would derive benefits from the Transaction and that as a result, they have a financial interest in the matters that were being considered;
(viii)	the potential effects of regulatory restrictions on CAM funds if Citigroup-affili- ated broker-dealers remain the principal underwriters for CAM funds;
(ix)	the fact that the Fund’s total advisory and administrative fees will not increase by virtue of the New Management Agreement, but will remain the same;
(x)	the terms and conditions of the New Management Agreement, including the dif- ferences from the Current Management Agreement, and where applicable, the benefits of a single, uniform form of agreement covering these services;
(xi)	that in July 2005 each Board had performed a full annual review of the Fund’s Current Management Agreement as required by the 1940 Act, and had deter- mined that the Adviser has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory and administrative services currently provided to the Fund; and that the advisory and/or management fees paid by the Fund represent reason- able compensation to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser, the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be real- ized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows, the reflec- tion of these economies of scale in the fee levels for the benefit of Fund sharehold- ers, and such other matters as the Board Members considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment;

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report      37

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited) (continued)

(xii)	that the Fund would not bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Management Agreements; and
(xiii)	that under the Transaction Agreement, Citigroup and Legg Mason have agreed not to take any action that is not contemplated by the Transaction or fail to take any action that to their respective knowledge would cause any of the requirements of Section 15(f) not to be met.

     Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

     In their deliberations, the Board Members considered information received in connection with their recent approval of continuance of each Current Management Agreement in addition to information provided by Legg Mason and CAM in connection with their evaluation of the terms and conditions of the New Management Agreement. The Board Members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board Member attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board Members evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the New Management Agreements, including the New Management Agreement for the Fund, are fair and reasonable, that the fees stated therein are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to each Fund, and that the New Management Agreements should be approved and recommended to Fund shareholders.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided

In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser under the New Management Agreements, the Board Members considered, among other things, the expected impact, if any, of the Transaction on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of the Adviser; the potential implications of regulatory restrictions on the CAM funds following the Transaction; the ability of the Adviser to perform its duties after the Transaction, taking into account, where the CAM fund currently has a subadviser, the delegation of certain duties to the subadviser; and any anticipated changes to the current investment and other practices of the CAM funds. The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that, after the closing of the Transaction, Legg Mason intends to review all aspects of the Funds’ operations (including equity, fixed income and money market fund operations). The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that it intends to combine the fixed income investment operations of CAM with those of Western Asset and may also wish to combine other CAM operations with those of other Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Board Members noted that Western Asset is an experienced and respected institutional asset manager that focuses on managing fixed income assets on behalf of institutional separate accounts, retirement plans and other institutional investors, including mutual funds. The Board Members further noted that, as of June 30, 2005, Western Asset managed approximately $230 billion in assets on behalf of its clients. The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that, after the closing of the sale, Legg Mason will take steps to combine the investment management operations of Western Asset with the fixed income operations of the Adviser and, in relevant cases, Citigroup Asset Management Limited

38      Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited) (continued)

(the “Subadviser”) to the CAM funds, which, among other things, may involve Western Asset, the Adviser and, in relevant cases, the Subadviser to the CAM funds sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources. The Board Members also considered Legg Mason’s advice that it is expected that the combination processes described above will result in additional changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of the CAM funds, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders, and that, in other cases, the current portfolio managers or portfolio management teams will remain in place. The Board Members also considered Legg Mason’s advice that, in the future, Legg Mason may recommend that Western Asset or other Legg Mason subsidiaries be appointed as the adviser or sub-adviser to some or all of the CAM funds, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

     The Board Members were advised that if Citigroup-affiliated broker-dealers remain the CAM funds’ principal underwriters, the funds would continue to be subject to restrictions concerning certain transactions involving Citigroup affiliates (for example, transactions with a Citigroup broker-dealer acting as principal) absent regulatory relief or clarification.

     Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction was not expected to adversely affect the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and that the Transaction was not expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Adviser to provide those services. It was noted, however, that, in addition to the changes previously described, it is expected that there will be other changes in personnel following the Transaction or after the combination of CAM’s operations with those of Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Board Members noted that if current portfolio managers or other personnel cease to be available, each Board would consider all available options, which could include seeking the investment advisory or other services of Legg Mason affiliates or investment advisers not affiliated with Legg Mason. In this regard, it was noted that Legg Mason has indicated that it could potentially make available to the Adviser additional portfolio management resources in the event of loss of CAM personnel for particular investment disciplines. Accordingly, the Board Members concluded that, overall, they were satisfied at the present time with assurances from Legg Mason and CAM as to the expected nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the CAM funds under the New Management Agreements.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability

In evaluating the costs of the services to be provided by the Adviser under the New Management Agreements and the profitability to the Adviser of their relationships with the Funds, the Board Members considered, among other things, whether advisory and administrative (or management) fees or other expenses would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction would not increase the fees payable for advisory and administrative (or management) services and that overall CAM fund expenses were not expected to increase materially as a result of the Transaction. The Board Members noted that it was not possible to predict how

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report      39

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited) (continued)

the Transaction would affect the Adviser’s profitability from its relationship with the CAM funds, but that they had been satisfied in their most recent review of the Current Management Agreements, including the Funds’ Current Management Agreement that the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was not excessive. It was noted that in conjunction with that review, the Board Members had obtained an independent accountant’s review of the methodology used to determine the Adviser’s profitability. The Board Members concluded that, overall, they were satisfied that currently, the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each CAM fund including, the Fund, was not excessive.

     The Board Members noted that they expect to receive Adviser profitability information on an annual basis and thus be in a position to evaluate whether any adjustments in Fund fees and/or fee breakpoints would be appropriate.

Fall-Out Benefits

In evaluating the fall-out benefits to be received by the Adviser under the New Management Agreements, the Board Members considered whether the Transaction would have an impact on the fall-out benefits received by virtue of the Current Management Agreements. Based on their review of the materials provided, including materials received in connection with their recent approval of the continuance of each Current Management Agreement, and their discussions with CAM management, Legg Mason and Western Asset, the Board Members determined that those benefits could include increased ability for Legg Mason to distribute shares of its funds and other investment products and to obtain research services using the CAM funds’ portfolio transaction brokerage. The Board Members noted that any such benefits were difficult to quantify with certainty at this time, and indicated that they would continue to evaluate them going forward.

Fees and Economies of Scale

In reviewing the Transaction, the Board Members considered, among other things, whether advisory and administrative fees or other expenses would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that as a result of the Transaction, each Fund’s total advisory and administrative fees would not increase. The Board Members noted that in conjunction with their most recent deliberations concerning the Current Management Agreements, advisory or management fee reductions and fee breakpoints had been implemented for certain Funds, and that after taking those reductions and breakpoints into account, the Board Members had determined that the total fees for advisory and administrative services for many CAM funds were reasonable in light of the services provided and that CAM management had already initiated or would be taking steps to address the Board Members’ concerns regarding the fee levels of other CAM funds. It was noted that in conjunction with the recent review of the Current Management Agreements, the Board Members had received, among other things, a report from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) comparing each CAM fund’s fees, expenses and performance to those of a peer group for that Fund selected by Lipper, and information as to the fees charged by the Adviser to other registered

40      Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited) (continued)

investment company clients for investment management services. The Board Members concluded that because the advisory and administrative fees for each CAM fund were not expected to increase as a result of the Transaction, each CAM fund’s fees for advisory and administrative services remain appropriate and that no additional fee reductions or breakpoints were necessary at this time. The Board Members recognized that Legg Mason may realize economies of scale from the Transaction based on certain consolidations and synergies of operations.

Investment Performance

The Board Members noted that investment performance for many CAM funds was satisfactory or better, and that CAM management had already implemented or undertaken to implement steps to address investment performance in other funds. Following the closing of the Transaction, these steps may include combining certain CAM operations with those of certain Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Boards noted Legg Mason’s considerable investment management experience and capabilities, but were unable to predict what effect, if any, consummation of the Transaction would have on the future performance of the CAM funds, including the Fund.

     A condition to the closing of the Transaction required the new management agreements to be approved by CAM advisory clients representing a substantial majority of investment management revenues. This condition was satisfied and the Transaction closed on December 1, 2005, prior to approval of the Fund’s New Management Agreement having been obtained. The Fund’s Current Management Agreement terminated upon consummation of the Transaction. Prior to the closing of the Transaction, the Fund’s Board, at a meeting held in person on November 21, 2005, approved an interim management agreement for the Fund.

     In their deliberations concerning the interim management agreement, the Board Members considered that, as discussed in detail above, within the past year the Board had performed a full annual review of the Current Management] Agreement and had approved the New Management Agreement, subject to shareholder approval. In that regard, the Board, in its deliberations concerning the interim management agreement, met with senior representatives of CAM and Legg Mason to receive a status report on Legg Mason’s plans and intentions regarding CAM’s business and its combination with Legg Mason, including its plans for Fund portfolio management. On the basis of that report, the Board determined that its evaluation of relevant factors, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, costs of services provided, profitability, fall out benefits, fees and economies of scale and investment performance and conclusions with respect thereto in connection with its approval of the New Management Agreement would apply to the interim agreement. However, the Board gave greatest weight to the imminent automatic termination of the Current Management Agreement upon the completion of the Transaction and the need for continuity of the services provided thereunder pending shareholder approval of the New Management Agreement.

     In accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, which regulates the use of interim management agreements, the interim management agreement for the Fund will have a term no longer than 150 days. The terms of the interim management agreement approved by the Board are the same as those of the Fund’s Current Management Agreement, differing only

Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report      41

Board Approval of Management Agreement (unaudited) (continued)

as to the effective date, the termination date and certain additional provisions required by law. Management fees will be held in escrow and not paid to the Manager until shareholders approve the New Management Agreement. If shareholders do not approve the New Management Agreement, the management fees held in escrow will be disbursed in accordance with applicable law.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited)

Unless you elect to receive distributions in cash (i.e., opt-out), all distributions on your Common Shares will be automatically reinvested by American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, as agent for the Common Shareholders (the “Plan Agent”), in additional Common Shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”). You may elect not to participate in the Plan by contacting the Plan Agent.

     If you do not participate, you will receive all cash distributions paid by check mailed directly to you by American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, as dividend paying agent.

     If you participate in the Plan, the number of Common Shares you will receive will be determined as follows:

     (1)  If the market price of the Common Shares on the record date (or, if the record date is not a New York Stock Exchange trading day, the immediately preceding trading day) for determining shareholders eligible to receive the relevant distribution (the “determination date”) is equal to or exceeds 98% of the net asset value per share of the Common Shares, the Fund will issue new Common Shares at a price equal to the greater of (a) 98% of the net asset value per share at the close of trading on the Exchange on the determination date or (b) 95% of the market price per share of the Common Shares on the determination date.

     (2)  If 98% of the net asset value per share of the Common Shares exceeds the market price of the Common Shares on the determination date, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will buy Common Shares in the open market, on the Exchange or elsewhere, for your account as soon as practicable commencing on the trading day following the determination date and terminating no later than the earlier of (a) 30 days after the distribution payment date, or (b) the record date for the next succeeding distribution to be made to the Common Shareholders; except when necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws. If during this period: (i) the market price rises so that it equals or exceeds 98% of the net asset value per share of the Common Shares at the close of trading on the Exchange on the determination date before the Plan Agent has completed the open market purchases or (ii) if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full amount eligible to be reinvested in open market purchases, the Plan Agent will cease purchasing Common Shares in the open market and the Fund shall issue the remaining Common Shares at a price per share equal to the greater of (a) 98% of the net asset value per share at the close of trading on the Exchange on the determination date or (b) 95% of the then current market price per share.

     The Plan Agent maintains all participants’ accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. Common Shares in your account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all common Shares you have received under the Plan.

     You may withdraw from the Plan by notifying the Plan Agent in writing at 59 Maiden Lane, New York, New York 10038 or by calling the Plan Agent at 1-888-888-0151 or by accessing the Plan Agent’s website at www.amstock.com. Such withdrawal will be effective immediately if notice is received by the Plan Agent not less than ten business days prior to any distribution record date; otherwise such withdrawal will be effective as soon as practicable after the Plan Agent’s investment of the most recently declared distribution on the Common Shares. The Plan may be terminated by the Fund upon notice in writing mailed

48      Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 2005 Annual Report

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited) (continued)

to Common Shareholders at least 30 days prior to the record date for the payment of any distribution by the Fund for which the termination is to be effective. Upon any termination, you will be sent a certificate or certificates for the full Common Shares held for you under the Plan and cash for any fractional Common Shares. You may elect to notify the Plan Agent in advance of such termination to have the Plan Agent sell part or all of your shares on your behalf. You will be charged a service charge and the Plan Agent is authorized to deduct brokerage charges actually incurred for this transaction from the proceeds.

     There is no service charge for reinvestment of your distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases. Because all dividends and distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Common Shares, this allows you to add to your investment through dollar cost averaging, which may lower the average cost of your Common Shares over time. Dollar cost averaging is a technique for lowering the average cost per share over time if the Fund’s net asset value declines. While dollar cost averaging has definite advantages, it cannot assure profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Investors will be subject to income tax on amounts reinvested under the plan.

     Automatically reinvesting distributions does not mean that you do not have to pay income taxes due upon receiving distributions.

     The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan if, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, the change is warranted. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Additional information about the Plan and your account may be obtained from the Plan Agent at 1-888-888-0151.

ITEM 2.	CODE OF ETHICS.
	The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the
	registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial
	officer, principal accounting officer or controller.
ITEM 3.	AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
	The Board of Directors of the registrant has determined that William
	R. Hutchinson, the chairman of the Board’s Audit Committee,
	possesses the attributes identified in Instruction 2(b) of Item 3 to
	Form N-CSR to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” and
	has designated Mr. Hutchinson as the audit committee financial
	expert. Mr. Hutchinson is an “independent” Director pursuant to
	paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR.
ITEM 4.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
	a) Audit Fees. Effective June 17, 2005
	PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) resigned as the Registrant’s
	principal accountant (the “Auditor”). The Registrant’s audit
	committee approved the engagement of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the
	Registrant’s new principal accountant for the fiscal year ended
	October 31, 2005. The aggregate fees billed in the last two fiscal
	years ending October 31, 2004 and October 31, 2005 (the "Reporting
	Periods") for professional services rendered by PWC for the audit of
	the Registrant's annual financial statements, or services that are
	normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory
	and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods,
	were $72,000 in 2004 and $53,000 in 2005. KPMG has not billed the
	Registrant for professional services rendered as of October 31,
	2005.
	b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting
	Periods for assurance and related services by PWC or KPMG that are
	reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the
	Registrant's financial statements and are not reported under
	paragraph (a) of this Item 4 were $0 in 2004 and $0 in 2005.
	In addition, there were no Audit-Related Fees billed in the
	Reporting Period for assurance and related services by the Auditor
	to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-
	adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is
	subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and
	any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with
	the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Salomon
	Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. (“service affiliates”), that
	were reasonably related to the performance of the annual audit of
	the service affiliates. Accordingly, there were no such fees that
	required pre-approval by the Audit Committee for the Reporting
	Periods (prior to May 6, 2003 services provided by the Auditor were
	not required to be pre-approved).
	(c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for
	professional services rendered by PWC for tax compliance, tax advice
	and tax planning ("Tax Services") were $6,400 in 2004 and $0 in
	2005. These services consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S.
	federal, state, local and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. federal,
	state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding
	statutory, regulatory or administrative developments, and (iii) tax
	advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of
	various financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired or

held. As of October 31, 2005, KPMG has not billed the Registrant for 

any Tax Services rendered. 

There were no fees billed for tax services by PWC or KPMG to service 

affiliates during the Reporting Periods that required pre-approval 

by the Audit Committee. 

d) All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed for all other non-audit 

services rendered by PWC to Salomon Brothers Asset Management 

(“SBAM”), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common 

control with SBAM that provided ongoing services to Salomon Brothers 

Inflation Management Fund Inc., requiring pre-approval by the Audit 

Committee for the period May 6, 2003 through October 31, 2004 and 

for the year ended October 31, 2005, which include the issuance of 

reports on internal control under SAS No. 70 related to various 

Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”) entities a profitability review 

of the Adviser and phase 1 pf an analysis of Citigroup’s current and 

future real estate occupancy requirements in the tri-state area and 

security risk issues in the New York metro region were $0.0 and $1.3 

million, respectively, all of which were pre-approved by the Audit 

Committee. 

There were no non-audit services rendered by KPMG to SBAM, or any 

entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with SBAM 

that provided ongoing services to the Registrant. 

All Other Fees. There were no other non-audit services rendered by 

PWC or KPMG to Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”), and any 

entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with SBFM 

that provided ongoing services to Salomon Brothers Inflation 

Management Fund Inc. requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee 

in the Reporting Period. 

(e) Audit Committee’s pre–approval policies and procedures described 

in paragraph (c) (7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. 

(1) The Charter for the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the 

Board of each registered investment company (the “Fund”) advised by 

Smith Barney Fund Management LLC or Salomon Brothers Asset 

Management Inc. or one of their affiliates (each, an “Adviser”) 

requires that the Committee shall approve (a) all audit and 

permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Fund and (b) 

all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s 

independent auditors to the Adviser and any Covered Service 

Providers if the engagement relates directly to the operations and 

financial reporting of the Fund. The Committee may implement 

policies and procedures by which such services are approved other 

than by the full Committee. 

The Committee shall not approve non-audit services that the 

Committee believes may impair the independence of the auditors. As 

of the date of the approval of this Audit Committee Charter, 

permissible non-audit services include any professional services 

(including tax services), that are not prohibited services as 

described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, 

other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or 

a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non- 

audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services 

related to the accounting records or financial statements of the 

Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; 

(iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or 

contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal 

audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human 

resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment 

banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services 

unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public 

Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is 

impermissible. 

Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services 

is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such 

permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and 

any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common 

control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund 

(“Covered Service Providers”) constitutes not more than 5% of the 

total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the 

fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided 

to (a) the Fund, (b) the Adviser and (c) any entity controlling, 

controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides 

ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the 

services are provided that would have to be approved by the 

Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not 

recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit 

services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the 

attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its 

delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit. 

(2) For the Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc., the 

percentage of fees that were approved by the audit committee, with 

respect to: Audit-Related Fees were 100% and 100% for 2004 and 2005; 

Tax Fees were 100% and 100% for 2004 and 2005; and Other Fees were 

100% and 100% for 2004 and 2005. 

(f) N/A 

(g) Non-audit fees billed by PWC for services rendered to Salomon 

Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. and CAM and any entity 

controlling, controlled by, or under common control with CAM that 

provides ongoing services to Salomon Brothers Inflation Management 

Fund Inc. during the reporting period were $6.4 million and $2.7 

million for the years ended October 31, 2004 and October 31, 2005, 

respectively. 

Non-audit fees billed by KPMG for services rendered to Salomon 

Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. and CAM and any entity 

controlling, controlled by, or under common control with CAM that 

provides ongoing services to Salomon Brothers Inflation Management 

Fund Inc. during the reporting period was $75,000 and $0 for the 

years ended October 31, 2004 and October 31, 2005, respectively. 

Such fees relate to services provided in connection with the 

transfer agent matter as fully described in the notes to the 

financial statements. 

(h) Yes. The Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc.‘s 

Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit 

services that were rendered to Service Affiliates which were not 

pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with 

maintaining the Accountant's independence. All services provided by 

the Auditor to the Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. 

or to Service Affiliates, which were required to be pre-approved, 

were pre-approved as required. 

ITEM 5.	AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.
	a) Registrant has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee
	established in accordance with Section 3(a)58(A) of the Exchange
	Act. The Audit Committee consists of the following Board members:
	Carol L. Colman
	Daniel P. Cronin
	Leslie H. Gelb
	William R. Hutchinson
	Riordan Roett
	Jeswald W. Salacuse
	b) Not applicable
ITEM 6.	SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.
	Not applicable.
ITEM 7.	DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
	MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
	The Board of Directors of the Fund has delegated the authority to
	develop policies and procedures relating to proxy voting to the
	Manager. The Manager is part of Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”),
	a group of investment adviser affiliates of Citigroup, Inc.
	(“Citigroup”). Along with the other investment advisers that
	comprise CAM, the Manager has adopted a set of proxy voting policies
	and procedures (the “Policies”) to ensure that the Manager votes
	proxies relating to equity securities in the best interest of
	clients.
	In voting proxies, the Manager is guided by general fiduciary
	principles and seeks to act prudently and solely in the best
	interest of clients. The Manager attempts to consider all factors
	that could affect the value of the investment and will vote proxies
	in the manner that it believes will be consistent with efforts to
	maximize shareholder values. The Manager may utilize an external
	service provider to provide it with information and/or a
	recommendation with regard to proxy votes. However, such
	recommendations do not relieve the Manager of its responsibility for
	the proxy vote.
	In the case of a proxy issue for which there is a stated position in
	the Policies, CAM generally votes in accordance with such stated
	position. In the case of a proxy issue for which there is a list of
	factors set forth in the Policies that CAM considers in voting on
	such issue, CAM votes on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the
	general principles set forth above and considering such enumerated
	factors. In the case of a proxy issue for which there is no stated
	position or list of factors that CAM considers in voting on such
	issue, CAM votes on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the
	general principles set forth above. Issues for which there is a
	stated position set forth in the Policies or for which there is a
	list of factors set forth in the Policies that CAM considers in
	voting on such issues fall into a variety of categories, including
	election of directors, ratification of auditors, proxy and tender
	offer defenses, capital structure issues, executive and director
	compensation, mergers and corporate restructurings, and social and

environmental issues. The stated position on an issue set forth in 

the Policies can always be superseded, subject to the duty to act 

solely in the best interest of the beneficial owners of accounts, by 

the investment management professionals responsible for the account 

whose shares are being voted. Issues applicable to a particular 

industry may cause CAM to abandon a policy that would have otherwise 

applied to issuers generally. As a result of the independent 

investment advisory services provided by distinct CAM business 

units, there may be occasions when different business units or 

different portfolio managers within the same business unit vote 

differently on the same issue. 

In furtherance of the Manager’s goal to vote proxies in the best 

interest of clients, the Manager follows procedures designed to 

identify and address material conflicts that may arise between the 

Manager’s interests and those of its clients before voting proxies 

on behalf of such clients. To seek to identify conflicts of 

interest, CAM periodically notifies CAM employees (including 

employees of the Manager) in writing that they are under an 

obligation (i) to be aware of the potential for conflicts of 

interest with respect to voting proxies on behalf of client accounts 

both as a result of their personal relationships and due to special 

circumstances that may arise during the conduct of CAM’s and the 

Manager’s business, and (ii) to bring conflicts of interest of which 

they become aware to the attention of compliance personnel. The 

Manager also maintains and considers a list of significant 

relationships that could present a conflict of interest for the 

Manager in voting proxies. The Manager is also sensitive to the 

fact that a significant, publicized relationship between an issuer 

and a non-CAM affiliate might appear to the public to influence the 

manner in which the Manager decides to vote a proxy with respect to 

such issuer. Absent special circumstances or a significant, 

publicized non-CAM affiliate relationship that CAM or the Manager 

for prudential reasons treats as a potential conflict of interest 

because such relationship might appear to the public to influence 

the manner in which the Manager decides to vote a proxy, the Manager 

generally takes the position that non-CAM relationships between 

Citigroup and an issuer (e.g. investment banking or banking) do not 

present a conflict of interest for the Manager in voting proxies 

with respect to such issuer. Such position is based on the fact 

that the Manager is operated as an independent business unit from 

other Citigroup business units as well as on the existence of 

information barriers between the Manager and certain other Citigroup 

business units. 

CAM maintains a Proxy Voting Committee, of which the Manager 

personnel are members, to review and address conflicts of interest 

brought to its attention by compliance personnel. A proxy issue 

that will be voted in accordance with a stated position on an issue 

or in accordance with the recommendation of an independent third 

party is not brought to the attention of the Proxy Voting Committee 

for a conflict of interest review because the Manager’s position is 

that to the extent a conflict of interest issue exists, it is 

resolved by voting in accordance with a pre-determined policy or in 

accordance with the recommendation of an independent third party. 

With respect to a conflict of interest brought to its attention, the 

Proxy Voting Committee first determines whether such conflict of 

interest is material. A conflict of interest is considered material 

to the extent that it is determined that such conflict is likely to 

influence, or appear to influence, the Manager’s decision-making in 

voting proxies. If it is determined by the Proxy Voting Committee 

that a conflict of interest is not material, the Manager may vote 

proxies notwithstanding the existence of the conflict. 

	If it is determined by the Proxy Voting Committee that a conflict of
	interest is material, the Proxy Voting Committee is responsible for
	determining an appropriate method to resolve such conflict of
	interest before the proxy affected by the conflict of interest is
	voted. Such determination is based on the particular facts and
	circumstances, including the importance of the proxy issue and the
	nature of the conflict of interest. Methods of resolving a material
	conflict of interest may include, but are not limited to, disclosing
	the conflict to clients and obtaining their consent before voting,
	or suggesting to clients that they engage another party to vote the
	proxy on their behalf.
