LETTER  FROM  THE  CHAIRMAN

LOGO

R. JAY GERKEN, CFA

 

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

 

Dear Shareholder,

During the six-month period ended January 31, 2005, the U.S. bond markets generated positive results, with the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Indexi returning 3.81%.

 

Despite rising interest rates, continued high oil prices, geopolitical concerns and uncertainties surrounding the presidential election, the U.S. economy continued to expand during the period. Following a 3.3% gain in the second quarter of 2004, gross domestic product (“GDP”)ii growth was a robust 4.0% in the third quarter. The advance estimate for fourth quarter GDP was 3.1%, another solid gain.

 

Given the overall strength of the economy, Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)iii monetary policy was seen as highly accommodative and expectations were that it would start raising rates to ward off the threat of inflation. As expected, the Fed raised its target for the federal funds rateiv by 0.25% to 1.25% on June 30, 2004 — the first rate increase in four years. The Fed again raised rates in 0.25% increments during its meetings in August, September, November, and December 2004, bringing the target for the federal funds rate to 2.25%. Following the end of the fund’s reporting period, at its February meeting, the Fed raised its target for the federal funds rate by an additional 0.25% to 2.50%. Regardless of the economic expansion and higher interest rates, the overall bond market surprised many people by generating relatively strong returns during the period.

 

The U.S. high-yield bond market as represented by the Citigroup High-Yield Market Index,v returned 7.95%, outperforming nearly all other fixed income asset classes for the period. Improvement in the U.S. economy has proved favorable for corporate earnings and the corporate bond credit environment. While markets will fluctuate, the high-yield market has remained healthy from a fundamental perspective, as many companies generated better-than-expected earnings and default rates continued to decline.

 

Special Shareholder Notice

Effective January 1, 2005, the Citigroup High-Yield Market Index replaced the Citigroup High-Yield (7-10 Year) Market Indexvi as the sole benchmark against which the fund’s performance will be measured. The manager has determined that the Citigroup High-Yield Market Index is a more appropriate index reflecting more closely the composition of the portfolio of securities.

 

Performance Review

For the six months ended January 31, 2005, Class A shares of the Smith Barney High Income Fund, excluding sales charges, returned 7.51%. These shares outperformed the Lipper High Current Yields Funds Category Average,1 which was 7.28%. The fund’s unmanaged benchmark, the Citigroup High-Yield Market Index and the fund’s previous benchmark, the Citigroup High-Yield (7-10 Year) Market Index, returned 7.95% and 7.85%, respectively, for the same period.

 

1   Lipper, Inc. is a major independent mutual-fund tracking organization. Returns are based on the 6-month period ended January 31, 2005, including the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, calculated among the 424 funds in the fund’s Lipper category, and excluding sales charges.

The performance shown represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown above. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate and investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website at www.smithbarneymutualfunds.com.

 

Performance figures may reflect reimbursements and/or fee waivers, without which the performance would have been lower.

 

Class A share returns assume the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all fund expenses. Returns have not been adjusted to include sales charges that may apply when shares are purchased or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. Excluding sales charges, Class B shares returned 7.22%, Class C shares returned 7.26% and Class Y shares returned 7.65% over the six months ended January 31, 2005.

 

Information About Your Fund

As you may be aware, several issues in the mutual fund industry have recently come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators. The fund’s Adviser and some of its affiliates have received requests for information from various government regulators regarding market timing, late trading, fees, and other mutual fund issues in connection with various investigations. The regulators appear to be examining, among other things, the fund’s response to market timing and shareholder exchange activity, including compliance with prospectus disclosure related to these subjects. The fund has been informed that the Adviser and its affiliates are responding to those information requests, but are not in a position to predict the outcome of these requests and investigations.

 

As previously disclosed by Citigroup, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has notified Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”) and Citicorp Trust Bank (“CTB”), an affiliate of CAM, that the Staff is considering recommending a civil injunctive action and/or an administrative proceeding against CAM, CTB, the former CEO of CAM, two former employees and a current employee of CAM, relating to the creation, operation and fees of an 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. For further information, please see the “Additional Information” note in the Notes to the 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: Keep in mind, high-yielding bonds are rated below investment-grade and carry more risk than higher rated securities. Also, the fund is subject to fluctuations in share price as interest rates rise and fall and is subject to certain risks of overseas investing, including currency fluctuations, differing securities regulations and periods of illiquidity, which could result in significant market fluctuations. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. 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.

 

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

 

i   The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based bond index comprised of Government, Corporate, Mortgage and Asset-backed issues, rated investment grade or higher, and having at least one year to maturity.
ii   Gross domestic product is a market value of goods and services produced by labor and property in a given country.
iii   The Federal Reserve Board is responsible for the formulation of a policy designed to promote economic growth, full employment, stable prices, and a sustainable pattern of international trade and payments.
iv   The federal funds rate is the interest rate that banks with excess reserves at a Federal Reserve district bank charge other banks that need overnight loans.
v   The Citigroup High-Yield Market Index is a broad-based unmanaged index of high yield securities.
vi   The Citigroup High-Yield (7-10 Year) Market Index is an unmanaged broad-based index of high yield bonds with a remaining maturity of at least seven years, but less than ten years.

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 August 1, 2004 and held for the six months ended January 31, 2005.

 

Actual Expenses

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

(1)   For the six months ended January 31, 2005.
(2)   Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the applicable sales charges with respect to Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) with respect to Class B and C shares. Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. Performance figures may reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In the absence of voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower.
(3)   Expenses (net of voluntary fee waiver) are equal to each class’ respective annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 365.

Fund Expenses (unaudited) (continued)

   

 

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.

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, which is used to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

 

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 for bonds in higher rated categories.

BB, B, CCC, CC and C   

—   Bonds rated “BB”, “B”, “CCC”, “CC” and “C” are regarded, on balance, as pre-dominantly 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.

Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) — Numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 may be applied to each generic rating from “Aa” through “Caa”, where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest rating within its generic category.
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 to be medium grade obligations; that is they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payment and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. These bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and may have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba   

—   Bonds rated “Ba” are judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby may not well characterize bonds in this class.

B   

—   Bonds rated “B” generally lack characteristics of desirable investments. Assurance of interest and principal payment 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 issues 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 shortcomings.

NR   

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

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

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

 

The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.

 

(a) Investment Valuation. Securities traded on national securities markets are valued at the last sale price on such markets. 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. Securities traded in over-the-counter markets, securities for which no sales price was reported and fixed-income securities are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. 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, 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. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less 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) 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 debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment-grade typically involves risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk of timely and ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid secondary market trading.

 

(d) 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.

 

(e) 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 rates at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rates during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the statement 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 rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

(f) Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from net investment income for the Fund, if any, are declared and paid on a monthly basis. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, 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.

 

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

 

(h) 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.

 

(i) 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 Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

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

 

During the six months ended January 31, 2005, SBFM voluntarily waived a portion of its investment advisory fee amounting to $250,826.

 

During the six months ended January 31, 2005, SBFM reimbursed the Fund in the amount of $551,590 for losses incurred resulting from an investment transaction error.

 

SBFM also acts as the Fund’s administrator. Effective July 1, 2004, the administration fee paid by the Fund was reduced to an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly. Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fund paid an administration fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This fee was calculated daily and paid monthly.

 

Citicorp Trust Bank, fsb. (“CTB”), another subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Fund’s transfer agent. PFPC Inc. (“PFPC”) acts as the Fund’s sub-transfer agent. CTB receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the size and type of account. PFPC is responsible for shareholder recordkeeping and financial processing for all shareholder accounts and is paid by CTB. For the six months ended January 31, 2005, the Fund paid transfer agent fees of $327,746 to CTB. In addition, for the six months ended January 31, 2005 the Fund also paid $5,165 to other Citigroup affiliates for shareholder recordkeeping services.

 

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Fund’s distributor.

 

There is a maximum sales charges of 4.50% for Class A shares. There is a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 4.50% on Class B shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment. This CDSC declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase payment and thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class C shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment. In addition, 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 Class A shares, which, when combined with current holdings of Class A shares, equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2005, CGM and its affiliates received sales charges of approximately $156,000 on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares. In addition, for the six months ended January 31, 2005, CDSCs paid to CGM and its affiliates were approximately:

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 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. As previously disclosed, CAM has already paid the applicable funds, primarily through voluntary fee waivers, a total of approximately $17 million (plus interest), which is the amount of the revenue received by Citigroup relating to the revenue guarantee.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

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 SEC’s investigation and is seeking to resolve the matter in discussions with the SEC Staff. On January 20, 2005, Citigroup stated that it had established an aggregate reserve of $196 million ($25 million in the third quarter of 2004 and $171 million in the fourth quarter of 2004) related to its discussions with the SEC Staff. Settlement negotiations are ongoing and any settlement of this matter with the SEC will require approval by the Citigroup Board and acceptance by the Commission.

 

Unless and until any settlement is consummated, there can be no assurance that any amount reserved by Citigroup will be distributed. Nor is there at this time any certainty as to how the proceeds of any settlement would be distributed, to whom any such distribution would be made, the methodology by which such distribution would be allocated, and when such distribution would be made.

 

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

 

9.   Legal Matters

 

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