Dear Shareholder,
Despite sharply rising oil prices, threats of terrorism, geopolitical concerns and uncertainties surrounding the presidential election, the U.S. economy continued to expand during the reporting period. Following a robust 4.5% gain in the first quarter of 2004, gross domestic product (“GDP”)i growth was 3.3% in the second quarter of the year. This decline was largely attributed to higher energy prices. However, third quarter 2004 GDP rose a solid 4.0%. While fourth quarter GDP figures have not yet been released, we expect continued growth. Given the overall strength of the economy, Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ii monetary policy was seen as highly accommodative and expectations were that the Fed would start raising rates to ward off the threat of inflation. As we expected, the Fed raised its target for the federal funds rateiii by 0.25% to 1.25% at the end of June 2004—the first rate increase in four years. The Fed again raised rates in 0.25% increments during August, September, November, and December, bringing the target for the federal funds rate to 2.25%. After the end of the fund’s reporting period, at their February meeting, the Fed once again raised the target by 0.25% to 2.50%. Regardless of the economic expansion and higher interest rates, the overall bond market generated positive returns during the fiscal year. 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 affected fund performance. | |  R. JAY GERKEN, CFA Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

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 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. For further information, please see the “Additional Information” note in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this report
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, | | | |

| 1 | Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund | | 2004 Annual Report | |
M A N A G E R O V E R V I E W |
Market Overview As widely anticipated, the Fed raised its federal funds target rate during 2004, bringing it to 2.25% at year end, from 1.00%, which had been its lowest level in more than 40 years. After the end of the fund’s reporting period, at its February meeting, the Fed once again raised the target rate by 0.25% to 2.50%. Even though we believed the market fully expected the 25-basis-pointiv hike in the federal funds rate in late June and each successive meeting thereafter, the wording of the statements following the meetings still generated some anxiety. The Fed continued to reiterate throughout the year that it would increase rates “at a pace that is likely to be measured” but also added, “the Committee will respond to changes in economic prospects as needed to fulfill its obligation to maintain price stability.”v The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note ended the year with a small decline of 2 basis points, after reaching a low of 3.68% in March and then hitting a high of 4.87% in June. After reaching its high in June, the 10-year U.S. Treasury market rallied after the Fed’s initial 25-basis-point rate hike, and remained range-bound for the remainder of the year. Investors spent much of the year dissecting language from the Fed’s statements for clues on its assessment of the U.S. economy and pace of rate hikes. The U.S. economy’s quarterly pace of growth continued to advance over the period and the economy has entered the fourth year of expansion since the 2001 recession.vi Although a series of one-off events – surging oil prices, hurricanes, the waning effects of 2002-2003 tax cuts, etc. – undoubtedly restrained growth in 2004, the economy proved resilient enough to grow 4% over the past four quarters. Even the U.S. labor market, which generated lackluster results throughout most of 2003, improved over the past year,vii but the pace of improvements has been uneven from month-to-month. Given the combination of strong GDP results, comments from the Fed about a more robust economy, improvement in job growth and a pick-up in inflation, the economy appears to us to be firing on all cylinders. | | Mortgage-backed securities generally outperformed U.S. Treasury securities of comparable duration during the year. Overall, U.S. Government agency securities provided only modest excess returns versus U.S. Treasuries of similar duration. U.S. Treasuries generally finished the year in positive territory, while longer-term U.S. Treasuries outperformed U.S. Treasury bills and notes as the Treasury curve flattened during the second half of the year. | |

| 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 7.02%, Class C shares returned 6.91% and Class Y shares returned 7.49% over the six months ended December 31, 2004. Excluding sales charges, Class B shares returned 5.94%, Class C shares returned 5.86% and Class Y shares returned 6.87% over the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Lipper, Inc. is a major independent mutual-fund tracking organization. Returns are based on the period ended December 31, 2004, including the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, calculated among the 224 funds for the six-month period and among the 214 funds for the 12-month period in the fund’s Lipper category and excluding sales charges. | |

| 2 | Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund | | 2004 Annual Report | |
Performance Review For the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, Class A shares of the Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund, excluding sales charges, returned 6.47%. In comparison, the fund’s unmanaged benchmarks, the Lehman Brothers Long Term Credit Bond Indexviii and the Citigroup Credit Index 10+,ix returned 9.38% and 9.72%, respectively, for the same period. The Lipper Corporate Debt Funds A Rated Category Averagex was 4.09%. Factors Impacting Fund Performance We decreased our allocations to U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agency and asset-backed securities early in 2004 in favor of increased exposure to corporate bonds, which subsequently outperformed these other three sectors for the period. Throughout the period, market volatility remained relatively low and credit fundamentals remained strong, which we believe supported rich valuations and the tightest corporate spread levels since | | 1998. We continue to position the fund defensively on interest rates and maintain a shorter duration for the fund’s portfolio versus the benchmark index. Thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond 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 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, the fund is subject to credit risks and fluctuations in share price as interest rates rise and fall. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of the fund’s shares. The fund has greater sensitivity to changes in interest rates than a fund investing in securities with shorter maturities. 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. The fund is subject to certain risks of overseas investing, including changes in political and economic conditions.
All index performance reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Please note an investor cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund at a Glance (unaudited) |

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 July 1, 2004 and held for the six months ended December 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.”
Based on Actual Total Return(1) |
| | Actual Total Return Without Sales Charges(2) | | Beginning Account Value | | Ending Account Value | | Annualized Expense Ratio | | Expenses Paid During the Period(3) | |
Class A | | 7.29 | % | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,072.90 | | 1.05 | % | | $ | 5.47 | |
Class B | | 7.02 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,070.20 | | 1.56 | | | | 8.12 | |
Class C(4) | | 6.91 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,069.10 | | 1.63 | | | | 8.48 | |
Class Y | | 7.49 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,074.90 | | 0.63 | | | | 3.29 | |
(1) | For the six months ended December 31, 2004. |
(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. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In the absence of voluntary fee waivers 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 366. |
(4) | On April 29, 2004, Class L shares were renamed as Class C shares. |

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.
Based on Hypothetical Total Return(1) |
| | Hypothetical Annualized Total Return | | Beginning Account Value | | Ending Account Value | | Annualized Expense Ratio | | Expenses Paid During the Period(2) | |

Value of $10,000 Invested in Class B Shares of the Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund vs. the Lehman Brothers Long Term Credit Bond Index, the Citigroup Credit Index 10+ and Lipper Corporate Debt Funds A-Rated Average†
December 1994 — December 2004 |

† | Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares on December 31, 1994, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net asset value through December 31, 2004. The Lehman Brothers Long Term Credit Bond Index is a broad-based unmanaged index of investment-grade corporate bonds. The Citigroup Credit Index 10+ (formerly known as Salomon Smith Barney Credit Index 10+), is a broad-based unmanaged index of investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities of ten years or more. The Indexes are unmanaged and are not subject to the same management and trading expenses as a mutual fund. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Corporate Debt Funds A-Rated Average is composed of the Fund’s peer group of 214 mutual funds as of December 31, 2004. The performance of the Fund’s other classes may be greater or less than the performance of Class B shares indicated on this chart, depending on whether higher or lower sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in the other classes. |

The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth below:
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“Standard & Poor’s”) — Ratings from “AA” to “BB” 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 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 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 | — | Bonds rated “BB” have less near-term vulnerability to default than other speculative issues. However, they face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments. | |
Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) — Numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 may be applied to each generic rating from “Aa” to “Baa”, where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest rating 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 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. |
NR | — | Indicates that the bond is not rated by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s. |

(1) | Per share amounts have been calculated using the monthly average shares method. |
(2) | Effective January 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 this change, for the year ended December 31, 2001, the net investment income, net realized and unrealized gain and ratio of net investment income to average net assets for Class A shares would have been $0.75, $0.36 and 6.15%, respectively. In addition, for Class B shares, the net investment income, net realized and unrealized gain and ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been $0.68, $0.37 and 5.65%, respectively. Per share information, ratios and supplemental data for the periods prior to January 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation. |
(3) | 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. |
(4) | The investment adviser voluntarily waived a portion of its management fee for the year ended December 31, 2004. If such voluntarily fees were not waived, the actual expense ratios for Class A and Class B shares would have been 1.06% and 1.56%, respectively. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund (“Fund”), a separate investment fund of Smith Barney Investment Funds Inc. (“Company”), a Maryland corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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. Fixed income obligations are valued at the mean of bid and asked prices based on market quotations for those securities or if no quotations are available, then based on market quotations for securities of similar type, yield and maturity. When market quotations are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect 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 Directors. 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) 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.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income for the Fund, if any, are declared and paid on a monthly basis. Distributions of net realized gains to shareholders of the Fund, if any, are declared at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
(e) 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 fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.
(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 taxable income and net realized gains on investments, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
(g) Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. Accordingly, during the current year, $2,163,501 has been reclassified between accumulated net realized gain from investment transactions and overdistributed net investment income as a result of permanent
| 21 | Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund | | 2004 Annual Report | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
differences attributable to differences between book and tax amortization of premium on fixed income securities and income from mortgage-backed securities treated as capital gain for tax. This reclassification has 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 0.45% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $500 million and 0.42% of the Fund’s average daily net assets thereafter. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, SBFM voluntarily waived a portion of its investment advisory fee in the amount of $106,740.
SBFM also acts as the Fund’s administrator for which the Fund pays a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $500 million and 0.18% of the Fund’s average daily net assets thereafter. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.
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 December 31, 2004, the Fund paid transfer agent fees of $342,736 to CTB.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”) and PFS Distributors, Inc., both of which are subsidiaries of Citigroup, act as the Fund’s distributors.
On February 2, 2004, sales charges on Class L shares were eliminated. Effective April 29, 2004, the Fund’s Class L shares were renamed as Class C shares.
There is a maximum sales charge 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 certain cases, 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 a sales charge.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, CGM and its affiliates received sales charges of approximately $1,437,000 and $5,000 on sales of the Fund’s Class A and C shares, respectively. In addition, CDSCs paid to CGM and its affiliates were approximately:
| | Class A | | Class B | | Class C | |
CDSCs | | $3,000 | | $522,000 | | $6,000 | |
All officers and one Director of the Company are employees of Citigroup or its affiliates and do not receive compensation from the Company.

7. | Income Tax Information & Distributions to Shareholders |
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were as follows:
| | 2004 | | 2003 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 46,737,391 | | $ | 42,122,063 | |
Net long-term capital gains | | | 16,918,062 | | | 1,642,342 | |
Total distributions paid | | $ | 63,655,453 | | $ | 43,764,405 | |
As of December 31, 2004, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income – net | | | $1,489,300 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains – net | | | 585,572 | |
Total undistributed earnings | | | 2,074,872 | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 43,850,300 | * |
Total accumulated earnings | | | $45,925,172 | |
* | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the difference between book and tax amortization methods for premiums and discounts on fixed income securities. |
The Fund paid an ordinary income distribution of $4,045,632, to shareholders of record on January 25, 2005. This distribution will be reflected in the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
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 funds’ 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.
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.
| 25 | Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund | | 2004 Annual Report | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | |
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.
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.

| (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.

| 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. |

| (h) | Yes. The Smith Barney Investment Funds Inc.’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 Funds Inc. or to Service Affiliates which were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required. |
