*Bond Ratings (unaudited)*
The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth below:
Standard & Poors Ratings Service (Standard & Poors) 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 & Poors. 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, CC and C | | Bonds rated BB, B,
CCC, CC and C 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 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. |
| Moodys
Investors Service (Moodys) 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 can be visualized as 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
as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities. |
| A | | Bonds rated A possess
many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium
grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are
considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a
susceptibility to impairment some time in the future. |
| Baa | | Bonds rated Baa are
considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly
protected nor poorly secured. Interest 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 |

*Bond Ratings (unaudited)(continued)*
| B | | not well safeguarded
during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class. — 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. |
| 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 Standard & Poors, Moodys or Fitch. |

*Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited)*
*1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies*
Western Asset 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 Fund seeks high current income exempt from federal income taxes.
The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
*(a) Investment Valuation.* Securities are valued at the mean between the last quoted bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service, which are based on transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various other relationships between securities. When prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect fair value, the Fund values these securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Funds Board of Directors. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
The Fund has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification Topic 820 (ASC Topic 820). ASC Topic 820 establishes a single definition of fair value, creates a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the Funds investments, and requires additional disclosure about fair value. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
· Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
· Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
· Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of the security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Funds assets carried at fair value:
| DESCRIPTION | QUOTED
PRICES (LEVEL 1) | OTHER SIGNIFICANT OBSERVABLE INPUTS (LEVEL 2) | SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS (LEVEL 3) | TOTAL |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Municipal bonds | | $ 156,500,434 | | $ 156,500,434 |
| Short-term investments | | 2,800,000 | | 2,800,000 |
| Total investments | | $ 159,300,434 | | $ 159,300,434 |
See Schedule of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
*(b) 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 Funds investment in securities rated 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.
*(c) Security Transactions.* Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
