Notes to Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Smith Barney Short Duration Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate diversified series of the Smith Barney Trust II (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust.The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.The Fund commenced operations on March 17, 2003.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are: (a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities are valued at the mean between 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 (c) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates value; (d) gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification method; (e) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis; (f ) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (g) direct expenses are charged to each class; investment advisory fees and general Fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets of each class; (h) the character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Reclassifications were made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and gains available for distributions under income tax regulations. For the year ended October 31, 2003, the Fund reclassified $20,857 to accumulated net investment income from paid-in-capital; (i) the Fund intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and excise taxes; and (j) 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 other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.
2. Exempt-Interest Dividends and Other Distributions
The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular Federal income tax and from designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the shareholders of the Fund.
Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are declared and paid at least annually.
3. Management Agreement, Distribution Agreement and Other Transactions
Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”) a subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), acts as investment manager to the Fund.The Fund pays SBFM a management fee calculated at the annual rate of 0.45% of the average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.The management fee amounted to $193,555, all of which was voluntarily waived for the period March 17, 2003 (Commencement of Operations) through October 31, 2003.
Citicorp Trust Bank, fsb (“CTB”), a subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Fund’s transfer agent. PFPC Global Fund Services (“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 period March 17, 2003 (Commencement of Operations) through October 31, 2003, the Fund paid transfer agent fees of $3,581 to CTB.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”) (formerly known as Salomon Smith Barney Inc.) another subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Fund’s distributor. In addition, CGM and certain other broker-dealers continue to sell Fund shares to the public as members of the selling group.
There is a maximum initial sales charges of 2.00% for Class A.There is no contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) on the Fund’s Class B shares. Class B shares are available only in an exchange from another Smith Barney Fund.The previously held fund’s CDSC (up to 5.00%) will continue to apply.
For the period March 17, 2003 (Commencement of Operations) through October 31, 2003, CGM received sales charges of approximately $327,000 on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares.
In addition, for the period March 17, 2003 (Commencement of Operations) through October 31, 2003, CDSCs paid to CGM were approximately:

|
|
|
|
|
| |
CDSCs | | | $12,000 | | $0 | |
|
|
|

Pursuant to a Service Plan, the Fund pays a distribution/service fee calculated at the annual rate not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to that class in the case of the Plan relating to Class A shares, and not to exceed 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to that class in the case of the Plans relating to Class B and Class L shares. For the period March 17, 2003 (Commencement of Operations) through October 31, 2003, total Service Plan fees incurred were:

6. Futures Contracts
Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are recognized as assets. Securities equal to the initial margin amount are segregated by the custodian in the name of the broker.Additional securities are also segregated up to the current market value of the futures contract. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading.Variation margin payments are made or received and recognized as assets due from or liabilities due to broker, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred.When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of ) the closing transactions and the Fund’s basis in the contract.The Fund enters into such contracts to hedge a portion of its portfolio.The Fund bears the market risk that arises from changes in the value of the financial instruments and securities indices (futures contracts).
At October 31, 2003, the Fund had the following open futures contracts:
| | # of | | | | Book | | | Market | | | Unrealized | |

8. Capital Loss Carryforward
At October 31, 2003, the Fund had, for Federal income tax purposes, a capital loss carryforward of approximately $229,000 available to offset future capital gains expiring October 31, 2011.To the extent that these carryforward losses are used to offset capital gains, it is probable that any gains so offset will not be distributed.
9. Subsequent Event
The Fund has received the following information from Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit which includes the Fund’s Investment Manager and other investment advisory companies, all of which are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Citigroup. CAM is reviewing its entry, through an affiliate, into the transfer agent business in the period 1997-1999.As CAM currently understands the facts, at the time CAM decided to enter the transfer agent business, CAM subcontracted for a period of five years certain of the transfer agency services to a third party and also concluded a revenue guarantee agreement with this sub-contractor providing that the sub-contractor would guarantee certain benefits to CAM or its affiliates (the “Revenue Guarantee Agreement”). In connection with the subsequent purchase of the sub-contractor’s business by an affiliate of the current sub-transfer agent (PFPC Inc.) used by CAM on many of the funds it manages, this Revenue Guarantee Agreement was amended eliminating those benefits in exchange for arrangements that included a one-time payment from the sub-contractor.
15 Smith Barney Short Duration Municipal Income Fund | 2003 Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Boards of CAM-managed funds (the “Boards”) were not informed of the Revenue Guarantee Agreement with the subcontractor at the time the Boards considered and approved the transfer agent agreements. Nor were the Boards informed of the subsequent amendment to the Revenue Guarantee Agreement when that occurred.
CAM has begun to take corrective actions. CAM will pay to the applicable funds $16 million (plus interest) that CAM and its affiliates received from the Revenue Guarantee Agreement and its amendment. CAM also plans an independent review to verify that the transfer agency fees charged by CAM were fairly priced as compared to competitive alternatives. CAM is instituting new procedures and making changes designed to ensure no similar arrangements are entered into in the future.
CAM has briefed the SEC, the New York State Attorney General and other regulators with respect to this matter, as well as the U.S. Attorney who is investigating the matter. CAM is cooperating with governmental authorities on this matter, the ultimate outcome of which is not yet determinable.
