LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

LOGO

 

R. JAY GERKEN, CFA

Chairman, President and

Chief Executive Officer

 

Dear Shareholder,

Despite rising interest rates, continued high oil prices, geopolitical concerns and uncertainties surrounding the U.S. Presidential election, the U.S. economy continued to expand during the period. Following a 3.3% gain in the second quarter of 2004, gross domestic product (“GDP”)i growth was a robust 4.0% in the third quarter and 3.8% in the fourth quarter. On April 28th, after the reporting period ended, first quarter 2005 GDP estimates came in at 3.1%.

 

Given the overall strength of the economy, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ii moved to raise interest rates in an attempt to ward off inflation. As expected, the Fed increased its target for the federal funds rateiii by 0.25% to 1.25% on June 30, 2004 — the first rate hike in four years. The Fed again raised rates in 0.25% increments during its next six meetings, bringing the target for the federal funds rate to 2.75% by the end of March. The Fed raised its target rate by an additional 0.25% to 3.00% at its May meeting, after the Fund’s reporting period.

 

For much of the reporting period, the fixed-income market confounded many investors as short-term interest rates rose in concert with the Fed rate tightening, while longer-term rates, surprisingly, remained fairly steady. However, this changed late in the period, coinciding with the Fed’s official statement accompanying its March rate hike. While the Fed continued to say it expected to raise rates at a “measured” pace, it made several adjustments to its statement, which many investors interpreted to mean larger rate hikes could be possible in the future.

 

The municipal bond market, represented by the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,iv rose 2.67% for the year. Like the other fixed-income markets, longer-maturity munis performed better than their shorter-term counterparts.

 

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

 

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 Adviser 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 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 Adviser 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 Adviser with regard to recent regulatory developments is contained in the “Additional Information” note in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this report.

 

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

Market Overview

Although labor market growthv languished throughout 2003 into the first quarter of 2004, it rose significantly and remained strong in the early spring, and inflation picked up as well.vi

 

After an extended period of monetary easing, the Fed’s monetary policymaking committeevii raised its federal funds rate target from a four-decade low of 1.00% to 1.25% at the end of June — the Fed’s first hike in four years. The increase marked a significant reversal from the Fed’s monetary policy position from June 2003, when it last slashed its rate target following a long series of accommodative rate cuts.

The rate hike was widely anticipated due to comments from the Fed regarding the momentum behind the economy and signals that it was prepared to push rates higher from their near-historic lows. As a result, bond prices declined and yields rose sharply in April before prices stabilized somewhat in the early summer.

 

The Fed again raised its fed funds target by 0.25% in August and to 1.75% in September 2004. Given that bond prices had already factored in rate hikes to a significant extent, and coupling this with a lack of inflationary pressures, bond prices held up and actually rose over the third quarter. In September and October, the bond market benefited from falling stock and rising oil prices, which encouraged investors to reallocate capital into fixed-income securities.

 

Yields on bonds rose as their prices dropped in reaction to an employment report issued in November that yielded surprisingly robust labor market results.v The Fed subsequently raised its fed funds rate target by 25 basis pointsviii at its meetings in November, December, February and March, bringing the rate target to 2.75% at the end of the reporting period. The Fed raised its target rate by an additional 0.25% to 3.00% at its May meeting, after the end of the Fund’s reporting period.

 

Regardless of the economic expansion and higher interest rates, the overall bond market posted a modest gain during the period. Municipal bond credit quality continued to improve, as municipalities benefited from higher tax revenues, driven by improving economic growth and fiscal discipline. This caused municipal credit quality spreads to tighten.

 

Over the 12-month period, municipal bonds outperformed maturity equivalent U.S. Treasuries.ix Compelling taxable equivalent yieldsx for investors in middle- and-higher federal income tax brackets and low default rates continued to attract investors to municipal bond funds.

 

Performance Review

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2005, Class A shares of the Smith Barney Muni Funds — Limited Term Portfolio, excluding sales charges, returned 1.68%. These shares outperformed the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Category Average,1 which was 0.60%. The Fund’s unmanaged benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, returned 2.67% for the same period.

 

Certain investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax, and state and local taxes will apply. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable. Please consult your personal tax or legal adviser.

Factors that Influenced Fund Performance

Over the period, the Fund’s toll road and special facility bonds for airlines in the transportation sector were among the strongest performers. Several community development issues and tobacco related securities contributed positively to results as market perceptions of credit quality improved. In addition, our corporate-backed, education, and hospital holdings also helped performance.

 

Conversely, our positioning strategy in long-term Treasury futures detracted from performance. While this strategy reduced the portfolio’s overall volatility and helped to offset price declines when yields rose sharply from April through mid-June, overall it was a drag on performance during the reporting period. In addition, life care, multifamily, and student housing issues detracted from performance for the period. A number of the Fund’s higher coupon securities were called at their first permissible opportunity, thus eroding some of the income the portfolio generates. Finally, our escrowed to maturity and pre-refunded issues, as well as other premium bonds with short calls, experienced modest price declines and also detracted from performance.

 

We have begun to pare some of our medium and lower grade holdings where risk elements are beginning to outweigh our assessment of reward potential as credit quality spreads have continued to narrow.

 

During the period, we maintained a conservative posture in terms of overall duration,xi or price sensitivity to interest rate movements. This low-duration approach to managing interest rate risk limited the Fund’s ability to completely participate in upside market movements during intervals when bond prices rose, such as last summer. However, the Fund benefited from this approach in absolute terms when bond prices dropped, particularly in the spring and fall. Given the current market environment, we believe this approach to reducing potential volatility is more prudent than a longer-duration strategy.

 

Thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney Muni Funds Limited Term Portfolio. As ever, we appreciate that you have chosen us to manage your assets and we remain focused on achieving the Fund’s investment goals.

 

Sincerely,

Fund Expenses (unaudited)

 

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front-end and back-end sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2004 and held for the six months ended March 31, 2005.

 

Actual Expenses

The table below titled “Based on Actual Total Return” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period”.

Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. Performance figures may reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In the absence of voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower.
(3)   Expenses (net of voluntary fee waiver and/or expense reimbursements) are equal to each class’ respective annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 365.
(4)   On April 29, 2004, Class L shares were renamed as Class C shares.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below titled “Based on Hypothetical Total Return” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or back-end sales charges (loads). Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares on March 31, 1995, assuming the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net asset value through March 31, 2005. The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is a broad measure of the municipal bond market with maturities of at least one year. The index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and trading expenses of a mutual fund. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average is composed of the Fund’s peer group of mutual funds (156 funds as of March 31, 2005). The Index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and trading expenses of a mutual fund. The performance of the Fund’s other classes may be greater or less than the Class A shares’ performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in the other classes.

Bond Ratings (unaudited)

 

The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth below:

 

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“Standard & Poor’s”) — Ratings from “AA” to “CCC” may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standings within the major rating categories.

AAA

 

—  Bonds rated “AAA” have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

AA

 

—  Bonds rated “AA” have a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differ from the highest rated issue only in a small degree.

A

 

—  Bonds rated “A” have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

BBB

 

—  Bonds rated “BBB” are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for bonds in this category than in higher rated categories.

BB, B, and CCC

 

—  Bonds rated “BB”, “B” and “CCC” are regarded, on balance, as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. “BB” indicates the lowest degree of speculation than “B” and “CCC” the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

 

Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) — Numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 may be applied to each generic rating from “Aa” to “Caa”, where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest ranking within its generic category.

Aaa

 

—  Bonds rated “Aaa” are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as “gilt edge”. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin, and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of these bonds.

Aa

 

—  Bonds rated “Aa” are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the “Aaa” group they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in “Aaa” securities, or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude, or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in “Aaa” securities.

A

 

—  Bonds rated “A” possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.

Baa

 

—  Bonds rated “Baa” are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payment and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba

 

—  Bonds rated “Ba” are judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate, and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B

 

—  Bonds rated “B” generally lack characteristics of the desirable investments. Assurance of interest and principal payments or maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa

 

—  Bonds that are rated “Caa” are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default or present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

Bond Ratings (unaudited) (continued)

 

Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) — Ratings from “AA” to “BBB” may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) sign or minus (-) sign to show relative standings within the major ratings categories.

AA

 

—  Bonds rated “AA” are considered to be investment-grade and of very high credit quality. The obligator’s ability to pay interest and/or dividends and repay principal is very strong.

A

 

—  Bonds rated “A” are considered to be investment-grade and of high credit quality. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and/or dividends and repay principal is considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances than debt or preferred securities with higher ratings.

BBB

 

—  Bonds rated “BBB” are considered to be investment-grade and of satisfactory credit quality. The obligator’s ability to pay interest or dividends and repay principal is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are more likely to have adverse impact on these securities and, therefore, impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below investment-grade is higher than for securities with higher ratings.

NR

 

—  Indicates that the bond is not rated by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch.

 

Short-Term Security Ratings (unaudited)

 

SP-1

 

—  Standard & Poor’s highest rating indicating very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest; those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign.

A-1

 

—  Standard & Poor’s highest commercial paper and variable rate demand obligation (VRDO) rating indicating that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong; those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign.

P-1

 

—  Moody’s highest rating for commercial paper and for VRDO prior to the advent of the VMIG 1 rating.

VMIG 1

 

—  Moody’s highest rating for issues having a demand feature — VRDO.

MIG 1

 

—  Moody’s highest rating for short-term municipal obligations.

MIG 2

 

—  Moody’s second highest rating for short-term municipal obligations.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Limited Term Portfolio (“Fund”), a separate diversified investment fund of the Smith Barney Muni Funds (“Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

 

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. Securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or where market quotations are determined not to reflect fair value, will be valued in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

 

(b) Financial Futures Contracts. The Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its investment policies and objectives. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash or securities as initial margin. Additional securities are also segregated up to the current market value of the futures contracts. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying financial instrument, are made or received by the Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Fund’s basis in the contracts. The Fund enters into such contracts typically to hedge a portion of the portfolio. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

the changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments. In addition, investing in futures contracts involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures transaction.

 

(c) 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. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method.

 

(d) Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from net investment income for the Fund, if any, are declared and paid on a monthly basis. The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from federal and certain state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the shareholders of the Fund. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are taxable and 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.

 

(e) Class Accounting. Investment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution, transfer agency services and shareholder communications fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

 

(f) 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 tax provision is required.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

(g) Reclassifications. 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 values per share. During the current year, the following reclassifications have been made:

 

    Undistributed Net
Investment Income
    Accumulated Net
Realized Loss
   
    $ (376,964 )   $ 376,964    

Reclassifications are primarily due to differences between book and tax accretion of market discount on fixed income securities.

 

2. Management Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), acts as investment manager to the Fund. The Fund pays SBFM a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, O and Y shares had voluntary expense limitations in place of 0.85%, 1.35%, 1.45%, 1.05% and 0.70%, respectively. These expense limitations can be terminated at any time by SBFM.

There is a maximum sales charge of 2.00% for Class A shares. There is a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 5.00% on Class B shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment and declines thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. There is a CDSC of 1.00% on Class A shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment. This CDSC only applies to those purchases of Class A shares, which, when combined with current holdings of Class A shares, equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge. Class O shares also have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment.

8. Additional Information

 

Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) have submitted an Offer of Settlement of an administrative proceeding to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with an investigation into the 1999 appointment of an affiliated transfer agent for the Smith Barney family of mutual funds (the “Funds”). SBFM and CGMI understand that the SEC has accepted the Offer of Settlement, but has not yet issued the administrative order.

 

The SEC order will find that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(1) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”). Specifically, the order will find that SBFM and CGMI knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose to the boards of the Funds in 1999 when proposing a new transfer agent arrangement with an affiliated transfer agent that: First Data Investors Services Group (“First Data”), the 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”) 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, among other things, for a guarantee by First Data of specified amounts of asset management and investment banking fees to CAM and CGMI. The order also will find that SBFM and CGMI 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 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 Funds’ best interests and that no viable alternatives existed. SBFM and CGMI do not admit or deny any wrongdoing or liability. The settlement will not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding.

 

The SEC will censure SBFM and CGMI and order them to cease and desist from violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act. The order will require 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 Funds, primarily through fee waivers. The remaining $183.7 million, including the

 

50       Smith Barney Muni Funds      |      2005 Annual Report


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

penalty, will be paid to the U.S. Treasury and then distributed pursuant to a plan to be prepared by Citigroup and submitted within 90 days of the entry of the order for approval by the SEC. The distribution plan may also include a portion of certain escrowed transfer agency fees, in accordance with the terms of the order.

 

The order will require SBFM to recommend a new transfer agent contract to the Fund boards within 180 days of the entry of the order; if a Citigroup affiliate submits a proposal to serve as transfer agent or sub-transfer agent, an independent monitor must be engaged at the expense of SBFM and CGMI to oversee a competitive bidding process. Under the order, Citigroup also will be required to comply with an amended version of a vendor policy that Citigroup instituted in August 2004. That policy, as amended, among other things, requires that when requested by a Fund board, CAM will retain at its own expense an independent consulting expert to advise and assist the board on the selection of certain service providers affiliated with Citigroup.

 

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, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Funds.

 

9. Legal Matters

 

Beginning in June 2004, class action lawsuits alleging violations of the federal securities laws were filed against Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Distributor”) and a number of its affiliates, including Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (the “Advisers”), substantially all of the mutual funds managed by the Advisers, including the Fund (the “Funds”), and directors or trustees of the Funds (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaints alleged, among other things, that the Distributor created various undisclosed incentives for its brokers to sell Smith Barney and Salomon Brothers funds. In addition, according to the complaints, the Advisers caused the Funds to pay excessive brokerage commissions to the Distributor for steering clients towards proprietary funds. The complaints also alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the Funds by improperly charging Rule 12b-1 fees and by drawing on fund assets to make

 

51       Smith Barney Muni Funds      |      2005 Annual Report


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

undisclosed payments of soft dollars and excessive brokerage commissions. The complaints also alleged that the Funds failed to adequately disclose certain of the allegedly wrongful conduct. The complaints sought injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the Funds’ contracts with the Advisers, recovery of all fees paid to the Advisers pursuant to such contracts and an award of attorney’s fees and litigation expenses.

 

On December 15, 2004, a consolidated amended complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed alleging substantially similar causes of action. While the lawsuit is in its earliest stages, to the extent that the Complaint purports to state causes of action against the Funds, Citigroup Asset Management believes the Funds have significant defenses to such allegations, which the Funds intend to vigorously assert in responding to the Complaint.

 

Additional lawsuits arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Defendants in the future.

 

As of the date of this report, Citigroup Asset Management and the Funds believe that the resolution of the pending lawsuit will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Funds or the ability of the Advisers and their affiliates to continue to render services to the Funds under their respective contracts.

  (e) (1) Audit Committee’s pre–approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c) (7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 

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 registered public accounting firm 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 independent registered public accounting firm. 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 registered public accounting firm, 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 registered public accounting firm 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 Smith Barney Muni Funds, the percentage of fees that were approved by the audit committee, with respect to: Audit-Related Fees were 100% and 100% for the years ended 3/31/05 and 3/31/04; Tax Fees were 100% and 100% for the years ended 3/31/05 and 3/31/04; and Other Fees were 100% and 100% for the years ended 3/31/05 and 3/31/04.

 

  (f) N/A

 

  (g) Non-audit fees billed by the Accountant for services rendered to Smith Barney Muni Funds and CAM and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with CAM that provides ongoing services to Smith Barney Muni Funds. Fees billed to and paid by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. related to transfer agent matter as fully described in the notes to the financial statements titled “Additional Information” were $75,000 and $0 for the years ended 3/31/05 and 3/31/04.

 

  (h) Yes. The Smith Barney Muni Funds’ 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 Accountant to the Smith Barney Muni Funds or to Service Affiliates which were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.
