Letter from the Chairman
Dear Shareholder,
The U.S. economy was mixed
during the six-month reporting period. After a 4.1% advance in the third
quarter of 2005, fourth quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) i growth slipped to 1.7%. This marked the first quarter in which GDP growth did
not surpass 3.0% since the first three months of 2003. However, as expected,
the economy rebounded sharply in the first quarter of 2006, with GDP rising
an estimated 5.3%. The economic turnaround was prompted by both strong
consumer and business spending. In addition, the U.S. Labor Department
reported that unemployment hit a five-year low in March.
R. JAY
GERKEN, CFA The
Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) ii continued to raise interest rates
during the reporting period.
Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer Despite the “changing of
the guard” from Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan to Ben Bernanke in early 2006, it
was “business as usual” for the Fed, as it raised short-term interest rates
four times during the reporting period. Since it began its tightening
campaign in June 2004, the Fed has increased rates 15 consecutive times,
bringing the federal funds rate iii from 1.00% to 4.75%. The Fed
then raised rates to 5.00% on May 10 th , after the end of the
reporting period. Coinciding with this latest move, the Fed said that the
“extent and timing” of further rate hikes would depend on future economic
data.
Both
short- and long term yields rose over the reporting period. During the six
months ended April 30, 2006, two-year Treasury yields increased from 4.42% to
4.87%. Over the same period, 10-year Treasury yields moved from 4.58% to
5.07%. During part of the reporting period, the yield curve was inverted,
with the yield on two-year Treasuries surpassing that of 10-year Treasuries.
An inverted yield curve has historically foreshadowed an economic slowdown or
recession. However, some experts, including new Chairman

| Bernanke,
believe the inverted yield curve was largely a function of strong foreign
demand for longer-term bonds. Looking at the municipal market, yields of both
short- and longer-term securities also rose over the reporting period.
However, unlike the Treasury yield curve, the municipal bond curve retained a
positive slope. |

Review |

months ended April 30, 2006, the Municipal High Income Fund Inc. returned

its New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) market price per share. In comparison,
the Fund’s unmanaged benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index v ,

Closed-End Funds Category Average vi increased 4.19%. Please note

capital). The performance table shows the Fund’s six-month total return based

Shareholder Notices |
| --- |
| On December
1, 2005, Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) completed the sale of substantially all
of its asset management business to Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”). As a
result, the Fund’s investment manager (the “Manager”), previously an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Legg Mason. Completion of the sale caused the Fund’s then existing investment
management contract to terminate. The Fund’s shareholders previously approved
a new investment management contract between the Fund and the Manager, which
became effective on December 1, 2005. |
| Effective January 1, 2006, the Fund’s Board of Directors has approved
the appointment of Joseph P. Deane and David T. Fare as co-portfolio managers
of the Fund. Messrs. Deane and Fare have been elected Vice Presidents and
Investment Officers of the Fund. |
| Information
About Your Fund |
| As you may
be aware, several issues in the mutual fund industry have come under the
scrutiny of federal and state regulators. The Manager and some of its
affiliates have received requests for information from various government
regulators regarding market timing, late trading, fees, and other mutual fund
issues in connection with various investigations. The regulators appear to be
examining, among other things, the open-ended funds’ response to market
timing and shareholder exchange activity, including compliance with
prospectus disclosure related to these subjects. The Fund has been informed
that the Manager and its affiliates are responding to those information
requests, but are not in a position to predict the outcome of these requests
and investigations. |
| Important information concerning the Fund and its Manager with regard
to recent regulatory developments is contained in the Notes to Financial
Statements included in this report. |

The information provided is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results or investment advice. Views expressed may differ from those of the firm as a whole.

RISKS: The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on fund performance. High yield bonds involve greater credit and liquidity risks than investment grade bonds. Certain investors may be subject to the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”), and state and local taxes may apply. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable.

All index performance reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index.

| Take
Advantage of the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan |
| --- |
| As an investor in the Fund, you can participate in its Dividend
Reinvestment Plan (“Plan”), a convenient, simple and efficient way to
reinvest your dividends and capital gains, if any, in additional shares of
the Fund. A more complete description of the Plan begins on page 25. Below is
a short summary of how the Plan works. |
| Plan
Summary |
| If you are a Plan participant who has not elected to receive your
dividends in the form of a cash payment, then your dividend and capital gain
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the
Fund. |
| The number of shares in the Fund you will receive in lieu of a cash
dividend is determined in the following manner. If the market price of the
shares is equal to or higher than 98% of the net asset value (“NAV”) per
share on the date of valuation, you will be issued shares for the equivalent
of either 98% of the most recently determined NAV per share or 95% of the
market price, whichever is greater. |
| If 98% of the NAV per share at the time of valuation is greater than
the market price of the common stock, the Fund will buy shares for your
account in the open market or on the New York Stock Exchange. |
| If the Fund begins to purchase additional shares in the open market
and the market price of the shares subsequently rises above 98% of the NAV
before the purchases are completed, the Fund will attempt to cancel any
remaining orders and issue the remaining dividend or distribution in shares
at 98% of the Fund’s NAV per share. In that case, the number of Fund shares
you receive will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares
purchased in the open market and the price at which the Fund issues the
remaining shares. |
| To find out more detailed information about the Plan and about how
you can participate, please call American Stock Transfer & Trust Company
at 1 (877) 366-6441. |

Municipal High Income Fund Inc. 2006 Semi-Annual Report 11

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.
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 bonds 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, CCC, CC and C | — | Bonds
rated “BB”, “B”, “CCC”, “CC” and “C” 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” represents the lowest degree of speculation and “C” 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. |
| D | — | Bonds
rated “D” are in default, and payment of interest and/or repayment of
principal is in arrears. |

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 such issues. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 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 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 payments 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 therefore 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 desirable investments. Assurance
of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the
contract over any long period of time may be small. |
| Caa | — | Bonds
rated “Caa” are of poor standing. These may be in default, or present
elements of danger may exist with respect to principal or interest. |
| Ca | — | Bonds
rated “Ca” represent obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such
issues are often in default or have other marked short-comings. |
| C | — | Bonds
rated “C” are the lowest class of bonds and issues so rated can be regarded
as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment
standing. |

Bond Ratings (unaudited) (continued)

Fitch Ratings Service (“Fitch”) — 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 Fitch. 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 issues 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, CCC and CC | — | Bonds
rated “BB”, “B”, “CCC” and “CC” are regarded, on balance, as predominantly
speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal in
accordance with the terms of the obligation. “BB” represents a lower degree
of speculation than “B”, and “CC” 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. |
| NR | — | Indicates
that the bond is not rated by either 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. |
| VMIG
1 | — | Moody’s
highest rating for issues having a demand feature — VRDO. |
| MIG
1 | — | Moody’s
highest rating for short-term municipal obligations. |
| P-1 | — | Moody’s
highest rating for commercial paper and for VRDO prior to the advent of the
VMIG 1 rating. |
| F-1 | — | Moody’s
highest rating indicating the strongest capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments; those issues determined to possess overwhelming strong
credit features are denoted with a plus (+) sign. |

(2) Effective November 1, 2001, the Fund adopted a change in the accounting method that requires the Fund to amortize premiums and accrete all discounts. Without the adoption of the change, for the year ended October 31, 2002, the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been 6.80%. The impact of this change to net investment income and net realized and unrealized loss was less than $0.01 per share. Per share information, ratios and supplemental data for the period prior to November 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

(3) The total return calculation assumes that dividends are reinvested in accordance with the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

(4) The investment manager fully reimbursed the Fund for losses incurred resulting from an investment transaction error. Without this reimbursement, total return would not have changed.

(5) Annualized.

(6) The investment manager voluntarily waived a portion of its fees and/or reimbursed expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

*1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies*

Municipal High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland and is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”).

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 are determined not to reflect fair value, will be valued in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors. 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 financial futures contracts typically to hedge a portion of the portfolio. Upon entering into a financial 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 financial futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the underlying financial instruments. The Fund recognizes an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. When the financial futures contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recognized equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Fund’s basis in the contracts.

The risks associated with entering into financial futures contracts include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. In addition, investing in financial futures contracts involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures transaction. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

*(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. To the extent any issuer defaults on an expected interest payment, the Fund’s policy is to generally halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default.

*(d) Credit and Market Risk.* The Fund invests in high yield instruments that are subject to certain credit and market risks. The yields of high yield obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit and market risks. The Fund’s investment in securities rated

SEQ.=1,FOLIO='18',FILE='C:\JMS\jvangc\06-12868-3\task1210906\12868-3-bg-05.htm',USER='jvangb',CD='Jul 6 06:23 2006'

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

below investment grade typically involves risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk related to timely and ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid secondary market trading.

*(e) 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.

*(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 income and net realized gains on investments, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

*(g) Reclassification.* GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

*2. Investment Management Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates*

On December 1, 2005, Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) completed the sale of substantially all of its asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), to Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”). As a result, the Fund’s investment manager, Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (the “Manager” or “SBFM”), previously an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg Mason. Completion of the sale caused the Fund’s then existing investment advisory and administrative contracts to terminate. The Fund’s shareholders approved a new investment management contract between the Fund and the Manager, which became effective on December 1, 2005.

Legg Mason, whose principal executive offices are in Baltimore, Maryland, is a financial services holding company.

Prior to October 1, 2005, the Fund paid the Manager a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and an administration fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These fees were calculated daily and paid monthly.

Effective October 1, 2005, the administration fee payable by the Fund was changed to an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Under the new investment management agreement effective December 1, 2005, the Fund pays the Manager an investment management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly. Effective December 1, 2005, as a result of the termination of the administrative contract, the administration fee is no longer applicable.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

During the six months ended April 30, 2006, the Manager reimbursed a portion of its investment management fee amounting to $3,721.

During the year ended October 31, 2005, SBFM reimbursed the Fund in the amount of $80,000 for losses incurred resulting from an investment transaction error.

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

*3. Investments*

During the six months ended April 30, 2006, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

Purchases $ 8,783,744
Sales 13,670,319

At April 30, 2006, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes were substantially as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $
Gross unrealized depreciation (7,346,614 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 322,214

At April 30, 2006, the Fund had the following open futures contracts:

Number of Contracts Expiration Date Basis Value Market Value Unrealized Gain
Contracts
to Sell:
U.S. Treasury Bond 400 6/06 $44,722,312 $42,737,500 $1,984,812

*4. Capital Loss Carryforward*

As of October 31, 2005, the Fund had, for federal income tax purposes, a net capital loss carryforward of $24,221,519, of which $786,462 expires in 2007, $747,959 expires in 2008, $733,106 expires in 2009, $601,572 expires in 2010, $5,066,581 expires in 2011, $10,608,178 expires in 2012 and $5,677,661 expires in 2013. These amounts will be available to offset any future taxable capital gains.

*5. Regulatory Matters*

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

The SEC order finds that SBFM and CGM willfully violated Section 206(1) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”). Specifically, the order finds that SBFM

SEQ.=1,FOLIO='20',FILE='C:\JMS\jvangc\06-12868-3\task1210906\12868-3-bg-05.htm',USER='jvangb',CD='Jul 6 06:23 2006'

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

and CGM knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose to the boards of the Affected Funds in 1999 when proposing a new transfer agent arrangement with an affiliated transfer agent that: First Data Investors Services Group (“First Data”), the Affected Funds’ then existing transfer agent, had offered to continue as transfer agent and do the same work for substantially less money than before; and that CAM, the Citigroup business unit that, at the time, included the Affected Funds’ investment manager and other investment advisory companies, had entered into a side letter with First Data under which CAM agreed to recommend the appointment of First Data as sub-transfer agent to the affiliated transfer agent in exchange for, among other things, a guarantee by First Data of specified amounts of asset management and investment banking fees to CAM and CGM. The order also finds that SBFM and CGM willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act by virtue of the omissions discussed above and other misrepresentations and omissions in the materials provided to the Affected Funds’ boards, including the failure to make clear that the affiliated transfer agent would earn a high profit for performing limited functions while First Data continued to perform almost all of the transfer agent functions, and the suggestion that the proposed arrangement was in the Affected Funds’ best interests and that no viable alternatives existed. SBFM and CGM do not admit or deny any wrongdoing or liability. The settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding.

The SEC censured SBFM and CGM and ordered them to cease and desist from violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act. The order requires Citigroup to pay $208.1 million, including $109 million in disgorgement of profits, $19.1 million in interest, and a civil money penalty of $80 million. Approximately $24.4 million has already been paid to the Affected Funds, primarily through fee waivers. The remaining $183.7 million, including the penalty, has been paid to the U.S. Treasury and will be distributed pursuant to a plan submitted for the approval of the SEC. At this time, there is no certainty as to how the above-described 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.

The order also required that transfer agency fees received from the Affected Funds since December 1, 2004, less certain expenses, be placed in escrow and provided that a portion of such fees might be subsequently distributed in accordance with the terms of the order. On April 3, 2006, an aggregate amount of approximately $9 million was distributed to the Affected Funds.

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

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Although there can be no assurance, SBFM does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Affected Funds.

*This Fund is not one of the Affected Funds and did not implement the transfer agent arrangement described above. Therefore, this Fund has not received and will not receive any portion of the distributions.*

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

*6. Other Matters*

On September 16, 2005, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) informed SBFM and Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (“SBAM”) that the staff is considering recommending that the Commission institute administrative proceedings against SBFM and SBAM for alleged violations of Section 19(a) and 34(b) of the Investment Company Act (and related Rule 19a-1). The notification is a result of an industry wide inspection by the SEC and is based upon alleged deficiencies in disclosures regarding dividends and distributions paid to shareholders of certain funds. Section 19(a) and related Rule 19a-1 of the Investment Company Act generally require funds that are making dividend and distribution payments to provide shareholders with a written statement disclosing the source of the dividends and distributions, and, in particular, the portion of the payments made from each of net investment income, undistributed net profits and/ or paid-in capital. In connection with the contemplated proceedings, the staff may seek a cease and desist order and/or monetary damages from SBFM or SBAM.

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

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited)

The Fund’s policy, which may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Directors, is generally to make monthly distributions of substantially all its net investment income (i.e., income other than net realized capital gains) to the holders of the Fund’s capital shares. From time to time, when the Fund makes a substantial capital gains distribution, it may do so in lieu of paying its regular monthly dividend. Net income of the Fund consists of all income accrued on portfolio assets less all expenses of the Fund. Expenses of the Fund are accrued each day. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed to shareholders at least once a year.

Under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“Plan”), a shareholder whose capital shares are registered in his or her own name will have all distributions reinvested automatically by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“AST”), as purchasing agent under the Plan, unless the shareholder elects to receive cash. Distributions with respect to shares registered in the name of a broker-dealer or other nominee (that is, in “street name”) will be reinvested by the broker or nominee in additional capital shares under the Plan, unless the service is not provided by the broker or nominee or the shareholder elects to receive distributions in cash. Investors who own capital shares registered in street name should consult their broker-dealers for details regarding reinvestment. All distributions to shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will be paid by check mailed directly to the record holder by or under the direction of AST, as dividend-paying agent.

The number of capital shares distributed to participants in the Plan in lieu of a cash dividend is determined in the following manner. Whenever the market price of the capital shares is equal to or exceeds 98% of net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the determination date (generally, the record date for the distribution), participants will be issued capital shares valued at the greater of (1) 98% of the NAV or (2) 95% of the market price. To the extent that the Fund issues shares to participants in the Plan at a discount to NAV, the interests of remaining shareholders (i.e., those who do not participate in the Plan) in the Fund’s net assets will be proportionately diluted.

If 98% of the NAV per share of the capital shares at the time of valuation (which is the close of business on the determination date) exceeds the market price of capital shares, AST will buy capital shares in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. If, following the commencement of the purchases and before AST has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds 98% of what the NAV per share of the capital shares was at the valuation time, AST will attempt to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the Fund to issue the remaining portion of the dividend or distribution by issuing shares at a price equal to the greater of (1) 98% of the NAV per share as of the valuation time, or (2) 95% of the then current market price. In this case, the number of shares of capital shares received by a Plan participant will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares. To the extent AST is unable to stop open market purchases and cause the Fund to issue the remaining shares, the average per share price paid by AST may exceed 98% of the NAV per share of the capital shares. AST will begin to purchase capital shares on the open market as soon as practicable after the payment date of the dividend or capital gains distribution, but in no event shall such purchases continue later than 30 days after that date, except when necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the Federal securities laws.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited) (continued)

AST maintains all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmations of all transactions in each account, including information needed by a shareholder for personal and tax records. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will not relieve Plan participants of any income tax that may be payable on the dividends or capital gains distributions. Capital shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by AST in uncertificated form in the name of the Plan participant.

Plan participants are subject to no charge for reinvesting dividends and capital gains distributions under the Plan. AST’s fees for handling the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will be paid by the Fund. No brokerage charges shall apply with respect to its capital shares issued directly by the Fund under the Plan. Each Plan participant will, however, bear a pro-rata share of brokerage commissions actually incurred with respect to any open market purchases made under the Plan.

Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes to it are desirable. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as applied to any dividend or capital gains distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the change sent to participants at least 30 days before the record date for the dividend or capital gains distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by AST or the Fund on at least 30 days’ written notice to Plan participants. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed by mail to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 59 Maiden Lane New York, New York 10038 or by telephone at 1 (877) 366-6441.

Notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 23(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that from time to time the Fund may purchase at market prices its capital shares in the open market. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund has not repurchased any shares.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

Concerning Citigroup Asset Management (1) (CAM) Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

The following is a brief overview of the Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the “Policies”) that CAM has adopted to seek to ensure that CAM votes proxies relating to equity securities in the best interest of clients.

CAM votes proxies for each client account with respect to which it has been authorized to vote proxies. In voting proxies, CAM is guided by general fiduciary principles and seeks to act prudently and solely in the best interest of clients. CAM attempts to consider all factors that could affect the value of the investment and will vote proxies in the manner that it believes will be consistent with efforts to maximize shareholder values. CAM may utilize an external service provider to provide it with information and/or a recommendation with regard to proxy votes. However, the CAM adviser (business unit) continues to retain responsibility for the proxy vote.

In the case of a proxy issue for which there is a stated position in the Policies, CAM generally votes in accordance with such stated position. In the case of a proxy issue for which there is a list of factors set forth in the Policies that CAM considers in voting on such issue, CAM votes on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the general principles set forth above and considering such enumerated factors. In the case of a proxy issue for which there is no stated position or list of factors that CAM considers in voting on such issue, CAM votes on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the general principles set forth above. Issues for which there is a stated position set forth in the Policies or for which there is a list of factors set forth in the Policies that CAM considers in voting on such issues fall into a variety of categories, including election of directors, ratification of auditors, proxy and tender

( 1 ) Citigroup Asset Management comprises CAM North America, LLC, Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc, Smith Barney Fund Management LLC, and other affiliated investment advisory firms. On December 1, 2005, Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) sold substantially all of its worldwide asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management, to Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”). As part of this transaction, CAM North America, LLC, Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc and Smith Barney Fund Management LLC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason. Under a licensing agreement between Citigroup and Legg Mason, the names of CAM North America, LLC, Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc, Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and their affiliated advisory entities, as well as all logos, trademarks, and service marks related to Citigroup or any of its affiliates (“Citi Marks”) are licensed for use by Legg Mason. Citi Marks include, but are not limited to, “Citigroup Asset Management,” “Salomon Brothers Asset Management” and “CAM”. All Citi Marks are owned by Citigroup, and are licensed for use until no later than one year after the date of the licensing agreement. Legg Mason and Its subsidiaries, including CAM North America, LLC, Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc, and Smith Barney Fund Management LLC are not affiliated with Citigroup.

SEQ.=1,FOLIO='',FILE='C:\fc\184141010826_D11432_1207824\12868-2-de.htm',USER='jmsproofassembler',CD='Jul 3 14:10 2006'

offer defenses, capital structure issues, executive and director compensation, mergers and corporate restructurings, and social and environmental issues. The stated position on an issue set forth in the Policies can always be superseded, subject to the duty to act solely in the best interest of the beneficial owners of accounts, by the investment management professionals responsible for the account whose shares are being voted. Issues applicable to a particular industry may cause CAM to abandon a policy that would have otherwise applied to issuers generally. As a result of the independent investment advisory services provided by distinct CAM business units, there may be occasions when different business units or different portfolio managers within the same business unit vote differently on the same issue. A CAM business unit or investment team (e.g. CAM’s Social Awareness Investment team) may adopt proxy voting policies that supplement these policies and procedures. In addition, in the case of Taft-Hartley clients, CAM will comply with a client direction to vote proxies in accordance with Institutional Shareholder Services’ (ISS) PVS Voting Guidelines, which ISS represents to be fully consistent with AFL-CIO guidelines.

In furtherance of CAM’s goal to vote proxies in the best interest of clients, CAM follows procedures designed to identify and address material conflicts that may arise between CAM’s interests and those of its clients before voting proxies on behalf of such clients. To seek to identify conflicts of interest, CAM periodically notifies CAM employees in writing that they are under an obligation (i) to be aware of the potential for conflicts of interest on the part of CAM with respect to voting proxies on behalf of client accounts both as a result of their personal relationships and due to special circumstances that may arise during the conduct of CAM’s business, and (ii) to bring conflicts of interest of which they become aware to the attention of CAM’s compliance personnel. CAM also maintains and considers a list of significant CAM relationships that could present a conflict of interest for CAM in voting proxies. CAM is also sensitive to the fact that a significant, publicized relationship between an issuer and a non-CAM Legg Mason affiliate might appear to the public to influence the manner in which CAM decides to vote a proxy with respect to such issuer. Absent special circumstances or a significant, publicized non-CAM Legg Mason affiliate relationship that CAM for prudential reasons treats as a potential conflict of interest because such relationship might appear to the public to influence the manner in which CAM decides to vote a proxy, CAM generally takes the position that relationships between a non-CAM Legg Mason affiliate and an issuer (e.g. investment management relationship between an issuer and a non-CAM Legg Mason affiliate) do not present a conflict of interest for CAM in voting proxies with respect to such issuer. Such position is based on the fact that CAM is operated as an independent business unit from other Legg Mason business units as well as on the existence of information barriers between CAM and certain other Legg Mason business units.

CAM maintains a Proxy Voting Committee to review and address conflicts of interest brought to its attention by CAM compliance personnel. A proxy issue that will be voted in accordance with a stated CAM position on such issue or in accordance with the recommendation of an independent third party is not brought to the attention of the Proxy Voting Committee for a conflict of

SEQ.=1,FOLIO='',FILE='C:\fc\184141010826_D11432_1207824\12868-2-de.htm',USER='jmsproofassembler',CD='Jul 3 14:10 2006'

interest review because CAM’s position is that to the extent a conflict of interest issue exists, it is resolved by voting in accordance with a pre-determined policy or in accordance with the recommendation of an independent third party. With respect to a conflict of interest brought to its attention, the Proxy Voting Committee first determines whether such conflict of interest is material. A conflict of interest is considered material to the extent that it is determined that such conflict is likely to influence, or appear to influence, CAM’s decision-making in voting proxies. If it is determined by the Proxy Voting Committee that a conflict of interest is not material, CAM may vote proxies notwithstanding the existence of the conflict.

If it is determined by the Proxy Voting Committee that a conflict of interest is material, the Proxy Voting Committee is responsible for determining an appropriate method to resolve such conflict of interest before the proxy affected by the conflict of interest is voted. Such determination is based on the particular facts and circumstances, including the importance of the proxy issue and the nature of the conflict of interest.
