R. JAY GERKEN, CFA

 

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

 

Dear Shareholder,

Stock prices collectively advanced over the 12 months ending October 31, 2004, although performance varied sharply among sectors and investment styles. The equity market also shifted gears during the period due to investors’ reaction to mixed signals about the economy.

 

Last fall, stocks continued to rise as many geopolitical concerns began to ease, and a spate of mortgage refinancings freed up investable cash for investors. Despite positive corporate earnings results, stocks traded in a narrow range during the first quarter of this year due to concerns about anemic job growth. During this time, the economy grew at a moderate pace,i albeit at significantly stronger levels than during the first half of 2003.

 

In the spring, the economic recovery became broader based as labor market growth improved dramatically in March and April, although signs suggested a pickup in inflation in the spring as well. As widely anticipated, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ii proceeded to push short-term interest rates higher, marking its first hike in four years. The Fed raised its target for the closely watched federal funds rateiii by 0.25% on three occasions during the reporting period, increasing it from a four-decade low of 1.00% in June to 1.75% in September, and then again to 2.00% on November 10th after the fund’s reporting period had ended. Higher rates can help

slow a potential acceleration of economic growth and thereby help maintain a balance between that growth and the inflation that can generally accompany it.

 

As the period came to a close, inflation figures were benign while labor market growth, which had tapered off during the summer, exceeded consensus estimates for October. Crude oil prices, which had risen to record highs in the third quarter, when coupled with investors’ reaction to terrorism concerns, weakened investor sentiment toward the equity markets. However, reports of a pullback in oil prices and strong third-quarter corporate profits gave stock prices a boost in the final month of the period.

 

Over the past 12 months, stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies continued to outperform large-caps in general. Value-oriented stocks handily outpaced growth-oriented stocks. International stock markets beat out the broad domestic U.S. market by a wide margin.

 

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

 

 

1        SB Growth and Income Fund      |      2004 Annual Report


 

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.

 

In November 2003, Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”) disclosed an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Attorney relating to CAM’s entry into the transfer agency business during 1997-1999. Citigroup has disclosed that the Staff of the SEC is considering recommending a civil injunctive action and/or an administrative proceeding against certain advisory and transfer agent entities affiliated with Citigroup, the former CEO of CAM, two former employees and a current employee of CAM, relating to the creation, operation and fees of its internal transfer agent unit that serves various CAM-managed funds. Citigroup is cooperating with the SEC and will seek to resolve this matter in discussion with the SEC Staff. Although there can be no assurance, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the fund.

 

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.

 

Sincerely,

MANAGER  OVERVIEW

 

Market Overview

U.S. economic growth has settled down to a more sustainable pace of about 3.00%. Job growth and unemployment claims improved steadily during 2004, indicating broad-based strength in the economy. Consumer confidence numbers peaked in July, but the absolute levels remain quite solid. Oil prices spiked to over $55 in late October, before declining to the high $40s in November. Higher heating oil prices could limit retail sales growth in the Northeast this winter, but all in all, the U.S. economy has adjusted well to the significant increase in oil prices this year.

 

The strongest sectors of the market during the past year were those tied to energy prices, oils and utilities, and those helped by the strong Chinese and solid U.S. economies; the materials and industrials sectors. Defensive stocks such as consumer staples and health care lagged.

 

The U.S. markets traded in an unusually tight band during 2004. Equity volatility this year was the lowest in 62 years. The positives of strong earnings per share growth and extraordinary free cash flow generation were offset by fears of rising oil prices and interest rates, and uncertainty about the outcome of the U.S. election. The U.S. equity markets are the cheapest that they have ever been on a market value to free cash flow basis. But operating margins are far above normal, and earnings growth is sure to slow in 2005.

Explanation of Fund Performance

The fund’s underperformance relative to its benchmark can be attributed to weak stock selection in the consumer cyclical, technology and energy sectors. Performance was helped by stock selection in the consumer staples, healthcare and industrial sectors. In particular, performance benefited from holdings in mobile telecommunications service provider AT&T Wireless Services, Inc., manufacturing conglomerate Tyco International Ltd. and aerospace company The Boeing Company. Stocks that detracted from performance included global telecommunications equipment maker Nortel Networks Corporation, a provider of financial and business information IAC/InterActiveCorp. and global communications supplier ADC Telecommunications, Inc.

Thank you for your investment in the SB Growth and Income Fund. As ever, we appreciate that you have chosen us to manage your assets and we remain focused on achieving the fund’s investment goals.

The information provided regarding such sectors is not a sufficient basis upon which to make an investment decision. Investors seeking financial advice regarding the appropriateness of investing in any securities or investment strategies discussed should consult their financial professional.

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 May 1, 2004 and held for the six months ended October 31, 2004.

 

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 fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower.

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.

SB Growth and Income Fund vs. S&P 500 Index


October 1994 — October 2004

 

LOGO

 

Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Smith Barney Class 1 shares on October 31, 1994, assuming deduction of the 8.50% maximum sales charge at the time of investment and the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net asset value through October 31, 2004. The S&P 500 Index is an index of widely held common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and over-the-counter markets. Figures for the Index include reinvestment of dividends. 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 performance of the Fund’s other classes may be greater or less than the performance of Smith Barney Class 1 shares’ performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholder investing in other classes.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

SB Growth and Income Fund (“Fund”) is a separate investment fund of Smith Barney Investment Series (“Trust”). The Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified, 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 traded on national securities markets are valued at the closing prices on such markets. Securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges. Over-the-counter securities are valued on the basis of the mean between the bid and asked price at the close of business on each day. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price on that day, at the last sale price. When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately 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 (for example, a foreign exchange or market), 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 Trustees. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that a custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities, the 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 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) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. 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 or offset. The Fund bears the market risk that arises from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the credit risk should a counterparty fail to meet the terms of such contracts.

 

(d) Lending of Portfolio Securities. The Fund has an agreement with its custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Fund to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations, and receives a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Fund on securities lending are recorded as interest income. Loans of securities by the Fund are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or high quality money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities, plus a margin which may vary depending on the type of securities loaned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Fund maintains exposure for the risk of any losses in the investment of amounts received as collateral.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

(e) Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practical after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification method.

 

(f ) Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Fund does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in securities which are due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

 

(g) Risks. Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

 

(h) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes dividends, if any, quarterly and capital gains, if any, at least annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.

 

(i) Class Accounting. Class specific expenses are charged to each class; management fees, general fund expenses, income and gains and/or losses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets of each class or on another reasonable basis.

 

(j) 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. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends, and capital gain at various rates.

 

(k) Reclassification. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. Accordingly, $82,106 has been reclassified between accumulated net realized loss from investment transactions and undistributed net investment income due to distributions from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts being reclassified. This reclassification has no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

2. Management Agreement and Other Transactions

 

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

 

Average Daily Net Assets      Annual Rate  

First $1 billion

     0.65 %


Next $1 billion

     0.60  


Next $1 billion

     0.55  


Next $1 billion

     0.50  


Over $4 billion

During the year ended October 31, 2004, SBFM voluntarily waived management fees and reimbursed expenses amounting to $88,503.

 

Citicorp Trust Bank, fsb. (“CTB”), another subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Fund’s transfer agent. PFPC Inc. (“PFPC”) and Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”), another subsidiary of Citigroup, act as the Fund’s sub-transfer agents. CTB receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the size and type of account. PFPC and PSS are responsible for shareholder recordkeeping and financial processing for all shareholder accounts and are paid by CTB. For the year ended October 31, 2004, the Fund paid transfer agent fees of $146,381 to CTB.

 

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”) and PFS Distributors, Inc. (“PFS”), both of which are subsidiaries of Citigroup, act as the Fund’s distributors.

 

On April 29, 2004, Smith Barney Class L and Salomon Brothers Class 2 shares were renamed as Smith Barney Class C and Salomon Brothers Class C shares, respectively. On February 2, 2004, sales charges on Smith Barney Class C and Salomon Brothers Class C shares were eliminated. On April 29, 2004, sales charges on Smith Barney Class O shares were eliminated.

 

There are maximum sales charges of 8.50%, 5.00% and 5.75% for Smith Barney Class 1, Smith Barney Class A and Salomon Brothers Class A shares, respectively. There is a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 5.00% on Smith Barney Class B, Smith Barney Class P and Salomon Brothers 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. Smith Barney Class C, Smith Barney Class O and Salomon Brothers Class C shares also have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment. In certain cases, Smith Barney Class A and Salomon Brothers Class A shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment. This CDSC only applies to those purchases of Smith Barney Class A and Salomon Brothers Class A shares which, when combined with current holdings of Smith Barney Class A and Salomon Brothers Class A shares, respectively, equal or exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2004, CGM and its affiliates received sales charges of approximately $889,000, $949,000 and $5,000 on sales on the Fund’s Smith Barney Class 1, Smith Barney Class A and Smith Barney Class C shares, respectively. In addition, CDSCs paid to CGM and its affiliates for the year ended October 31, 2004 were approximately:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

For the year ended October 31, 2004, CGM and its affiliates received $1,770 in brokerage commissions for the Fund’s portfolio agency transactions.

 

All officers and one Trustee of the Trust are employees of Citigroup or its affiliates and do not receive compensation from the Trust.

 

The Trustees of the Funds have adopted a Retirement Plan (“Plan”) for all Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, all Trustees are required to retire from the Board as of the last day of the calendar year in which the applicable Trustee attains age 75 (certain Trustees who had already attained age 75 when the Plan was adopted were required to retire effective December 31, 2003). Trustees may retire under the Plan before attaining the mandatory retirement age. Trustees who have served as Trustee of the Trust or any of the investment companies associated with Citigroup for at least ten years when they retire are eligible to receive the maximum retirement benefit under the Plan. The maximum retirement benefit is an amount equal to five times the amount of retainer and regular meeting fees payable to a Trustee during the calendar year ending on or immediately prior to the applicable Trustee’s retirement. Amounts under the Plan may be paid in installments or in a lump sum (discounted to present value). Benefits under the Plan are unfunded. Two former Trustees are currently receiving payments under the Plan. In addition, two other Trustees elected to receive a lump sum payment from the Plan during the period.

 

Certain of the Trustees also are covered by a prior retirement plan. Under the prior plan, retirement benefits are payable for a ten-year period following retirement, with the annual payment to be based upon the Trustee’s compensation from the Trust during calendar year 2000. Trustees with more than five but less than ten years of service at retirement will receive a prorated benefit. In order to receive benefits under the current Plan, a Trustee must waive all rights under the prior plan prior to receiving payment under either plan.

 

At October 31, 2004, $284,970 is accrued in connection with these plans.

Ordinary income

     $ 4,438,675      $ 3,166,671

Net long term capital gains

             

Total distributions paid

     $ 4,438,675      $ 3,166,671

Undistributed ordinary income — net

     $         536,107  


Capital loss carryforward

       (172,476,541 )*

Unrealized appreciation

       155,942,513 **


Total accumulated losses

       (15,997,921 )


 

*   On October 31, 2004, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of $172,476,541, of which $61,995,062 expires in 2010 and $110,481,479 expires in 2011. This amount will be available to offset like amounts of any future taxable gains.
**   The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

8. Additional Information

 

In connection with an investigation previously disclosed by Citigroup, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has notified Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit that includes the Fund’s investment manager and other investment advisory companies; Citicorp Trust Bank (“CTB”), an affiliate of CAM; Thomas W. Jones, the former CEO of CAM; and three other individuals, one of whom is an employee and the other two of whom are former employees of CAM, that the SEC Staff is considering recommending a civil injunctive action and/or an administrative proceeding against each of them relating to the creation and operation of an internal transfer agent unit to serve various CAM-managed funds.

 

In 1999, CTB entered the transfer agent business. CTB hired an unaffiliated subcontractor to perform some of the transfer agent services. The subcontractor, in exchange, had signed a separate agreement with CAM in 1998 that guaranteed investment management revenue to CAM and investment banking revenue to a CAM affiliate. The subcontractor’s business was later taken over by PFPC Inc., and at that time the revenue guarantee was eliminated and a one-time payment was made by the subcontractor to a CAM affiliate.

 

CAM did not disclose the revenue guarantee when the boards of various CAM managed funds hired CTB as transfer agent. Nor did CAM disclose to the boards of the various CAM-managed funds the one-time payment received by the CAM affiliate when it was made.

 

In addition, the SEC Staff has indicated that it is considering recommending action based on the adequacy of the disclosures made to the fund boards that approved the transfer agency arrangement, CAM’s initiation and operation of, and compensation for, the transfer agent business and CAM’s retention of, and agreements with, the subcontractor.

 

Citigroup is cooperating fully in the investigation and will seek to resolve the matter in discussions with the SEC Staff. Although there can be no assurance, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Fund. As previously disclosed, CAM has already agreed to pay the applicable funds, primarily through fee waivers, a total of approximately $17 million (plus interest) that is the amount of the revenue received by Citigroup relating to the revenue guarantee.

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 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 attorneys’ 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.

 

30        SB Growth and Income Fund      |      2004 Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees

of Smith Barney Investment Series:

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of SB Growth and Income Fund of Smith Barney Investment Series (“Fund”) as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period 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 audits.

 

We conducted our audits 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, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2004, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

  (c) Tax Fees for Smith Barney Investment Series of $17,500 and $16,900 for the years ended 10/31/04 and 10/31/03. These amounts represent aggregate fees paid for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services, which include (the filing and amendment of federal, state and local income tax returns, timely RIC qualification review and tax distribution and analysis planning) rendered by the Accountant to Smith Barney Investment Series.

 

  (d) All Other Fees for Smith Barney Investment Series of $0 and $0 for the years ended 10/31/04 and 10/31/03.

 

  (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 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 Smith Barney Investment Series, 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 10/31/04 and 10/31/03; Tax Fees were 100% and 100% for the years ended 10/31/04 and 10/31/03; and

 

Other Fees were 100% and 100% for the years ended 10/31/04 and 10/31/03.

  (f) N/A

 

  (g) Non-audit fees billed by the Accountant for services rendered to Smith Barney Investment Series and CAM and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with CAM that provides ongoing services to Smith Barney Investment Series were $0 and $0 for the years ended 10/31/04 and 10/31/03.

 

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