LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS Dear CitiFunds Shareholder: During the six months ended April 30, 2000, the U.S. stock and bond markets were characterized by historic levels of volatility, leaving many investors with no clear indication of the future direction of the financial markets. Despite the ongoing strength and expansion of the U.S. and global economies, concerns regarding inflation and rising interest rates led to wide fluctuations in stock prices and turbulence in the bond market. Throughout the reporting period, the CitiFunds' investment adviser, Citibank, N.A., continued to manage CitiFundsSM Intermediate Income Portfolio with the goal of achieving its investment objectives of generating a high level of current income and preserving the value of its shareholders' investment. This report reviews the Fund's investment activities and performance during the reporting period and provides a summary of Citibank's perspective on and outlook for the U.S. bond market. Thank you for your continued confidence and participation in these challenging times. Sincerely, /s/ PHILIP W. COOLIDGE ---------------------- Philip W. Coolidge President May 15, 2000 1 PORTFOLIO ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK MOST SECTORS OF THE U.S. BOND MARKET CONTINUED TO DECLINE OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS. The U.S. economy continued to gain momentum, with Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") rising 7.3% during the fourth quarter of 1999 and an estimated 5.4% during the first quarter of 2000. This high level of economic growth caused concern among many investors regarding inflation. In an attempt to forestall a potential reacceleration of inflation, the Fed raised interest rates by 75 basis points during the reporting period. HIGHER INTEREST RATES CAUSED MOST SECTORS OF THE U.S. BOND MARKET TO DECLINE. Many bonds were also affected by changing supply-and-demand influences, including the federal government's announcement that it intends to buy back roughly $30 billion of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds. This created an unusual condition in the bond market called an inverted yield curve. An inverted yield curve represents an occurrence whereby longer-term bonds offer lower yields than short-term bonds. In addition, the increased volatility of the stock market created a "flight to quality" among many risk-averse investors, causing the yield differences, or spreads, between high-quality and lower-quality bonds to widen. In this challenging and dynamic bond market, the Fund's management team maintained the Portfolio's average duration modestly shorter than the averages. Duration is a measure of sensitivity to changing interest rates. This defensive duration management strategy was intended to help management maintain the flexibility required to capture higher yields as they became available while interest rates rose. ADDITIONALLY, THE MANAGERS MAINTAINED AN EMPHASIS ON HIGH-QUALITY CORPORATE BONDS, MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE REPORTING PERIOD. The Fund, in line with its investment objective, can invest in U.S. debt securities considered investment grade. Investment grade securities are those rated Baa3 or better by Moody's or BBB or better by Standard & Poor's. The credit ratings assigned to the Portfolio's holdings averaged AA+, helping the Fund's credit quality to remain quite high throughout the six-month reporting period. In the view of the investment team, these types of bonds offered competitive values and the highest yield potential with less risk. However, please note that there is no guarantee that the Portfolio's average holding will continue to be rated AA+. Within the Fund's corporate bond holdings, however, management moved to a more defensive position by selling some of the holdings with longer-term maturities and reinvesting the proceeds in high-quality corporate bonds with shorter maturities. 2 Looking ahead, the Fund's managers remain cautiously optimistic about bond market opportunities. Despite the recent release of economic statistics that may suggest increasing inflation, the managers continue to believe that, ultimately, inflationary pressures should stay under control. In fact, managers anticipate the Fed is likely to raise interest rates only once or twice again this year. The managers' most likely strategy under these expectations would be to increase the Fund's exposure to the higher-yielding sectors of the bond market, subject to the limitation that the Fund may only purchase debt securities that are investment grade at the time of purchase, and to extend the Fund's average duration to lock in prevailing high yields for as long as deemed prudent. And while no guarantees can be made, the managers are confident that this more aggressive strategy could benefit the Fund over the long term. 3 FUND FACTS FUND OBJECTIVE To generate a high level of current income and preserve the value of its shareholders' investments.

The Fund's share price and investment return will fluctuate, so that the value of an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any. Total return figures "with sales charge" are provided in accordance with SEC guidelines for comparative purposes for prospective investors. Total returns reflect certain voluntary fee waivers which may be terminated at any time. If the waivers were not in place, total returns would be lower. The maximum sales charge of 4.50% went into effect on January 4, 1999.

See notes to financial statements 10 CITIFUNDS INTERMEDIATE INCOME PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CitiFunds Intermediate Income Portfolio (the "Fund") is a separate diversified series of CitiFunds Fixed Income Trust (the "Trust") which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, management investment company. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in U.S. Fixed Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") a management investment company for which Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") serves as Investment Manager. The value of such investment reflects the Fund's proportionate interest (approximately 20.4% at April 30, 2000) in the net assets of the Portfolio. The Investment Manager of the Fund is Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"). CFBDS, Inc. ("CFBDS") acts as the Fund's Sub-Administrator and Distributor. The Fund offers Class A and Class B shares. The Fund commenced its public offering of Class B shares on January 4, 1999. Class A shares have a front-end, or initial sales charge effective January 4, 1999. This sales charge may be reduced or eliminated in certain circumstances. Class B shares have no front-end sales charge, pay higher ongoing distribution fees than Class A, and are subject to a deferred sales charge if sold within five years of purchase. Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares after eight years. Expenses of the Fund are borne pro-rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees applicable to such class), and votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 plan. Shares of each class would receive their own pro-rata share of the net assets of the Fund if the Fund were liquidated. Class A shares have lower expense ratios than Class B shares. For the six months ended April 30, 2000, CFBDS, acting as the distributor, received $1,236 from sales of Class A and $1,280 in deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class B shares. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and are as follows: A. Investment Valuation Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. B. Investment Income The Fund earns income, net of Portfolio expenses, daily based on its investment in the Portfolio. 11 CITIFUNDS INTERMEDIATE INCOME PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) C. Federal Taxes The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investment transactions. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At October 31, 1999, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $3,181,151 of which $1,142,935 will expire on October 31, 2002, $1,075,574 which will expire on October 31, 2004 and $962,642 which will expire on October 31, 2007. Such capital loss carryover will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. D. Expenses The Fund bears all costs of its operations other than expenses specifically assumed by Citibank and CFBDS. Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to any two or more funds or series are allocated in proportion to the average net assets of each fund, except when allocations of direct expenses to each fund can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. E. Distributions Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. The amount and character of income and net realized gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting differences. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and net realized gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax rules and regulations. F. Other All the net investment income, realized and unrealized gain and loss of the Portfolio is allocated pro rata, based on respective ownership interests, among the Fund and the other investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis. 2. MANAGEMENT FEES Citibank is responsible for overall management of the Fund's business affairs, and has a Management Agreement with the Fund. Citibank also provides certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services include providing general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the Fund. CFBDS acts as Sub-Administrator and performs such duties and receives such compensation from Citibank as from time to time is agreed to by Citibank and CFBDS. Citibank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. 12 CITIFUNDS INTERMEDIATE INCOME PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) The management fees paid to Citibank are accrued daily and payable monthly. The management fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The management fee amounted to $84,149 all of which was voluntarily waived for the six months ended April 30, 2000. 3. SERVICE FEES The Fund maintains separate Service Plans for Class A and Class B shares, which have been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Class A Service Plan, the Fund may pay monthly fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets represented by Class A shares of the Fund. The Service fees for Class A shares amounted to $57,585 for the six months ended April 30, 2000. Under the Class B Service Plan, the Fund may pay a combined monthly distribution and service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.75% of the average daily net assets represented by Class B shares of the Fund. The Service fees for Class B shares amounted to $7,564 for the six months ended April 30, 2000. These fees may be used to make payments to the Distributor for distribution services and to others as compensation for the sale of shares of the applicable class of the Fund, for advertising, marketing or other promotional activity, and for preparation, printing and distribution of prospectuses, statements of additional information and reports for recipients other than regulators and existing shareholders. The Fund may also make payments to the Distributor and others for providing personal service or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. 4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS Increases and decreases in the Fund's investment in the Portfolio for the six months ended April 30, 2000, aggregated $838,613 and $12,883,327, respectively. 13 CITIFUNDS INTERMEDIATE INCOME PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) 5.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES U.S. Fixed Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a separate series of The Premium Portfolios (the "Portfolio Trust"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York. The Portfolio commenced operations on November 1, 1998. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio. The Investment Manager of the Portfolio is Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"). Signature Financial Group (Grand Cayman), Ltd. ("SFG") acts as the Administrator. On November 1, 1998, CitiFunds Intermediate Income Portfolio transferred all of its investable assets in the amount of $76,788,364 including $1,683,386 of unrealized appreciation to the Portfolio in exchange for an interest in the Portfolio. Also, on May 3, 1999, the Intermediate Income Portfolio transferred all of its investable assets in the amount of $153,278,329 including $1,000,795 of unrealized depreciation to the Portfolio in exchange for an interest in the Portfolio. Additionally, on August 1, 1999, the Balanced Portfolio transferred a portion of its investable assets in the amount of $113,810,272 including $3,978,434 of unrealized depreciation to the Portfolio in exchange for an interest in the Portfolio. The total investable assets along with current period contributions are included in the "Proceeds from contributions" on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio are as follows: A. Investment Security Valuations Debt securities (other than short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by pricing services, which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, and other market data, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices or exchange or over-the-counter prices since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of the securities. Short-term obligations (maturity in sixty days or less) are valued at amortized cost; which approximates market value. Securities, if any, for which there are no such valuations or quotations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under guidelines established by the Trustees. B. Income Interest income consists of interest accrued and discount earned, adjusted for amortization of premium or discount on long-term debt securities when required for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Gain and loss from principal paydowns are recorded as ordinary income. 20 U.S. FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) C. U.S. Federal Income Taxes The Portfolio is considered a partnership under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is necessary. D. Expenses The Portfolio bears all costs of its operations other than expenses specifically assumed by Citibank and SFG. Expenses incurred by the Portfolio Trust with respect to any two or more portfolios or series are allocated in proportion to the average net assets of each portfolio, except when allocations of direct expenses to each portfolio can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a portfolio are charged to that portfolio. E. Repurchase Agreements It is the policy of the Portfolio to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral in support of repurchase agreements. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Portfolio to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of the repurchase agreement's underlying investments to ensure the existence of a proper level of collateral. F. TBA Purchase Commitments The Portfolio enters into "TBA" (to be announced) purchase commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the unit price has been established, the principal value has not been finalized. However, the amount of the commitment will not fluctuate more than 2.0% from the principal amount. The Portfolio holds, and maintains until the settlement date, cash or high-grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Portfolio's other assets. Unsettled TBApurchase commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under Note 1A. Although the Portfolio will generally enter into TBApurchase commitments with the intention of acquiring securities for its portfolio, the Portfolio may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if the Portfolio's Adviser deems it appropriate to do so. G. Futures Contracts The Portfolio may engage in futures transactions. The Portfolio may use futures contracts in order to protect the Portfolio from fluctuations in interest rates without actually buying or selling debt securities, or to manage the effective maturity or duration of fixed income securities in the Portfolio's portfolio in an effort to reduce potential losses or enhance potential gains. Buying futures contracts tends to increase the Portfolio's exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures contracts tends to either decrease the Portfolio's exposure to the underlying instrument, or to hedge other fund investments. 21 U.S. FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. The daily changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses and the Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts as a hedging device. The change in the value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the change in the value of the hedged instruments. In addition, there is the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. H. Other Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis. 2. MANAGEMENT FEES Citibank is responsible for overall management of the Portfolio's business affairs, and has a Management Agreement with the Portfolio. Citibank also provides certain administrative services to the Portfolio. These administrative services include providing general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the Portfolio. CFBDS acts as Sub-Administrator and performs such duties and receives such compensation from Citibank as from time to time is agreed to by Citibank and CFBDS. Citibank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. The management fees paid to Citibank amounted to $435,080 of which $52,974 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended April 30, 2000.

LINE OF CREDIT The Portfolio, along with various other portfolios in the CitiFunds Family, entered into an ongoing agreement with a bank which allows the Funds collectively to borrow up to $75 million for temporary or emergency purposes. Interest on the borrowings, if any, is charged to the specific fund executing the borrowing at the base rate of the bank. The line of credit requires a quarterly payment of a commitment fee based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit. For the six months ended April 30, 2000, the commitment fee allocated to the Portfolio was $357. Since the line of credit was established, there have been no borrowings. 23 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS C. Oscar Morong, Jr., CHAIRMAN Philip W.
