	Letter from the Chairman

R. JAY GERKEN, CFA

Chairman, President and

Chief Executive Officer


	Dear Shareholder,

	The U.S. economy appeared to be on solid footing during the six-month reporting period. After gross domestic product (“GDP”)ⁱ rose 1.7% in the fourth quarter of 2005 — the first quarter in which GDP growth did not surpass 3.0% in nearly three years — the economy rebounded sharply in the first quarter of 2006. During this time, GDP rose 5.6%, its best showing since the third quarter of 2003. In the second quarter 2006, GDP growth was a more modest 2.5%, according to the Commerce Department’s initial reading for the period. The decline was largely attributed to lower consumer spending, triggered by higher interest rates and oil prices, as well as a cooling housing market. In addition, business spending fell during the quarter.
	The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ⁱⁱ continued to raise interest rates during the reporting period. 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 period. Since it began its tightening campaign in June 2004, the Fed has increased rates 17 consecutive times, bringing the federal funds rateⁱⁱⁱ from 1.00% to 5.25%. Coinciding with its latest rate hike in June 2006, the Fed said: “The extent and timing of any additional firming...will depend on the evolution of the outlook for both inflation and economic growth, as implied by incoming information.”


	For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the U.S. stock market produced positive returns, with the S&P 500 Index^iv returning 2.71%. While the economy expanded and corporate profits remained strong, the headwinds from steadily rising interest rates, inflationary pressures and the potential for additional Fed rate hikes tempered returns.
	Looking at the market more closely, small-cap stocks outperformed their mid-and large-cap counterparts, with the Russell 2000^v, Russell Midcap^vi and Russell 1000^vii Indexes returning 8.21%, 4.84% and 2.76%, respectively. From an investment style perspective, value stocks significantly outperformed growth stocks, with the Russell 3000 Value^viii and Russell 3000 Growth^ix Indexes returning 6.90% and -0.32%, respectively, over the reporting period.

Information About Your Funds

As you may be aware, several issues in the mutual fund industry have come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators. Affiliates of the Funds’ Manager have, in recent years, 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 Funds’ response to market timing and shareholder exchange activity, including compliance with prospectus disclosure related to these subjects. The Funds are not in a position to predict the outcome of these requests and investigations.


	Important information with regard to recent regulatory developments that may affect the Funds is contained in the Notes to Financial Statements included in this report.

RISKS:

Variable Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio: Investing in foreign securities is subject to certain risks not associated with domestic investing, such as currency fluctuations, and changes in political and economic conditions. These risks are magnified in emerging or developing markets. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of the Fund’s share price. High yield bonds involve greater credit and liquidity risks than investment grade bonds. 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. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Variable Equity Index Portfolio: 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. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Variable Growth and Income Portfolio: As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of the Fund’s share price. High yield bonds involve greater credit and liquidity risks than investment grade bonds. 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. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Variable Aggressive Growth Portfolio: Investments in small- and medium-capitalization companies may involve a higher degree of risk and volatility than investments in larger, more established companies. 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.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)

Example

As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management 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 January 1, 2006 and held for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

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 June 30, 2006.

⁽²⁾		Assumes reinvestment of all distributions, including returns of capital, if any, at net asset value. Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. Total returns do not reflect expenses associated with the separate account such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which, if reflected, would reduce the total returns. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower.

⁽³⁾		Expenses (net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) are equal to each Funds’ or 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. 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 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 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.
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 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 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.
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

Legg Mason Partners Variable Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio (“Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio”), Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Index Portfolio (“Equity Index Portfolio”), Legg Mason Partners Variable Growth and Income Portfolio (“Growth and Income Portfolio”) and Legg Mason Partners Variable Aggressive Growth Portfolio (“Aggressive Growth Portfolio”) (formerly known as Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio, Equity Index Portfolio, Salomon Brothers Variable Growth & Income Fund and Salomon Brothers Variable Aggressive Growth Fund, respectively) (the “Funds”) are separate diversified investment funds of Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II (formerly known as Greenwich Street Series Fund) (the “Trust”). The Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds 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. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in debt obligations, quotations from 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, 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 Funds calculate their net asset value, the Funds may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

(b) Repurchase Agreements. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Funds’ policy that their custodian or a third party custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the market 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 market 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 Funds may be delayed or limited.

(c) Financial Futures Contracts. Certain Funds may enter into financial futures contracts typically to hedge a portion of the portfolios. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Funds are 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

60 Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II 2006 Semi-Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the underlying financial instruments. The Funds recognize 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 Funds’ 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 Funds 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.

(d) Written Options. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires, the Fund realizes a gain from investments equal to the amount of the premium received. When a written call option is exercised, the difference between the premium and the amount for effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commission, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received reduces the cost of the security purchased by the Fund.

A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund may forego the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund is exposed to the risk of loss if the market price of the underlying security increases. In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

(e) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on their non-U.S. dollar denominated securities or to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.

Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II 2006 Semi-Annual Report 61

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

(f) Securities Traded on a To-Be-Announced Basis. Certain Funds may trade securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Funds commit to purchasing or selling securities which have not yet been issued by the issuer and for which specific information is not known, such as the face amount and maturity date and the underlying pool of investments in U.S. government agency mortgage pass-through transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Funds, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Funds enter into a TBA transaction, cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high-grade debt obligations are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

(g) Mortgage Dollar Rolls. The Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio enters into dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities to settle on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Fund is compensated by a fee paid by the counterparty, often in the form of a drop in the repurchase price of the securities. Dollar rolls are accounted for as financing arrangements; the fee is accrued into interest income ratably over the term of the dollar roll and any gain or loss on the roll is deferred and realized upon disposition of the rolled security.

The risk of entering into a mortgage dollar roll is that the market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a mortgage dollar roll files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of proceeds of the dollar roll may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.

(h) Credit and Market Risk. Certain Funds invest 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 below investment grade typically involve 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.

(i) 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. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practical after the Funds determine the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. 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 Funds’ policy is to generally halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

(j) Foreign Currency Translation. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, at the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

(k) REIT Distributions. The character of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) held by the Fund is generally comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the policy of the Fund to estimate the character of distributions received from underlying REITs based on historical data provided by the REITs. After each calendar year end, REITs report the true tax character of these distributions. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts reported by the REITs are reflected in the Fund’s records in the year in which they are reported by the REITs.

(l) Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from net investment income and distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(m) Class Accounting. Investment income, common expenses and realized/ unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Funds on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

(n) Federal and Other Taxes. It is the Funds’ 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 Funds intend to distribute substantially all of its income and net realized gains on investments, if any, to shareholders

Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II 2006 Semi-Annual Report 63

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

(o) Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. During the current period, Equity Index Portfolio’s Accumulated Realized Gain and Cost of Investments have been increased by $41,990 as a result of return of capital distributions paid by REITs. These adjustments have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

The Equity Index Portfolio pays TIMCO an advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and pays SBFM an administration fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.06% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These fees are calculated daily and paid monthly.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Manager waived a portion of its fee in the amount of $1,988, $37,210, $246 and $1,358, for the Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio, Equity Index Portfolio, Growth and Income Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio, respectively. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 the Fund was reimbursed for expenses in the amount of $1,537 and $3,069, for the Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio and Equity Index Portfolio, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Manager reimbursed the Growth and Income Fund in the amount of $7,657 for losses incurred resulting from an investment transaction error.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”) and Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC (“LMIS”), a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Legg Mason, serve as co-distributors of the Funds.

The Funds have adopted an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) which allows non-interested trustees (“Trustees”) to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees earned until a later date specified by the Trustees. The deferred fees earn a return based on notional investments selected by the Trustees. The balance of the deferred fees payable may change depending upon the investment performance. Any gains or losses incurred in the deferred balances are reported in the Statements of Operations under Trustees’ fees. Under the Plan, deferred fees are considered a general obligation of the Funds and any payments made pursuant to the Plan will be made from the Funds’ general assets. The Board of Trustees voted to discontinue offering the Plan to its members effective January 1, 2007. This change will have no effect on fees previously deferred.

As of June 30, 2006, the Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio, Equity Index Portfolio, Growth and Income Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio have accrued $2,081, $3,241, $1,638 and $1,436 as deferred compensation, respectively.

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

8.	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 CGM relating to the appointment of an affiliated transfer agent for the Smith Barney family of mutual funds (the “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 and CGM knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose to the boards of the Funds in 1999 when proposing a new transfer agent arrangement with an affiliated transfer agent that: First Data Investors Services Group (“First Data”), the 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 Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit that, at the time, included the fund’s 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 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 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

70 Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II 2006 Semi-Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

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 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 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 Fund 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.

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

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


9.	Legal Matters

Beginning in August 2005, five class action lawsuits alleging violations of federal securities laws and state law were filed against CGM and SBFM (collectively, the “Defendants”) based on the May 31, 2005 settlement order issued against the Defendants by the SEC described in Note 8. The complaints seek injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages, removal of SBFM as the investment manager for the Smith Barney family of funds, rescission of the Funds’ management and other contracts with SBFM, recovery of all fees paid to SBFM pursuant to such contracts, and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.

On October 5, 2005, a motion to consolidate the five actions and any subsequently filed, related action was filed. That motion contemplates that a consolidated amended complaint alleging substantially similar causes of action will be filed in the future. As of the date of this report, the Fund’s investment manager believes that resolution of the pending lawsuit will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Fund or the ability of the Fund’s investment manager and its affiliates to continue to render services to the Funds under their respective contracts.

Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II 2006 Semi-Annual Report 71

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

* * *

Beginning in June 2004, class action lawsuits alleging violations of the federal securities laws were filed against CGM and a number of its then affiliates, including SBFM and SBAM, which were then investment adviser or manager to certain of the Funds (the “Managers”), substantially all of the mutual funds then managed by the Managers (the “Defendant Funds”), and Board Members of the Defendant Funds (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaints alleged, among other things, that CGM created various undisclosed incentives for its brokers to sell Smith Barney and Salomon Brothers funds. In addition, according to the complaints, the Managers caused the Defendant Funds to pay excessive brokerage commissions to CGM for steering clients towards proprietary funds. The complaints also alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the Defendant 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 Defendant Funds failed to adequately disclose certain of the allegedly wrongful conduct. The complaints sought injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the Defendant Funds’ contracts with the Managers, recovery of all fees paid to the Managers 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. On May 27, 2005, all of the Defendants filed motions to dismiss the Complaint. On July 26, 2006, the court issued a decision and order (1) finding that plaintiffs lacked standing to sue on behalf of the shareholders of the Funds in which none of the plaintiffs had invested and dismissing those Funds from the case (although stating that they could be brought back into the case if standing as to them could be established), and (2) other than one stayed claim, dismissing all of the causes of action against the remaining Defendants, with prejudice, except for the cause of action under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act, which the court granted plaintiffs leave to replead as a derivative claim.


10.	Other Matters

On September 16, 2005, the staff of the SEC informed SBFM and SBAM that the staff is considering recommending that the SEC 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.

72 Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II 2006 Semi-Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Although there can be no assurance, SBFM and SBAM believe that this matter is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds.


11.	Subsequent Events

(The following applies to all Funds, except the Equity Index Portfolio)

The Funds’ Board has approved the appointment of Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (“LMPFA”), as each Fund’s investment manager effective August 1, 2006. The Funds’ Board has also approved the appointment of Western Asset Management Co. (“Western Asset”), and Western Asset Management Co. Ltd. (“Western Asset Limited”), as the Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio’s subadvisers effective August 1, 2006. Additionally, the Funds’ Board has approved the appointment of CAM North America, LLC (“CAM N.A.”) as the Growth and Income Portfolio’s and Aggressive Growth Portfolio’s subadviser effective August 1, 2006. The portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds remain the same immediately prior to and immediately after the date of these changes. LMPFA, Western Asset, Western Asset Limited, and CAM N.A. are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason.

LMPFA will provide administrative and certain oversight services to the Funds. LMPFA will delegate to the subadvisers the day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds, except for certain Funds, the management of cash and short-term instruments. The Funds’ investment management fee will remain unchanged. For its services, LMPFA will pay each subadviser 70% of the net management fee that it receives from the Fund, except Western Asset will pay Western Asset Limited a subadvisory fee of 0.30% on the assets managed by Western Asset Limited. For the Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio, as compensation for services performed by Western Asset Limited, Western Asset pays Western Asset Limited out of the subadvisory fee it receives.

The Funds’ Board has also approved the reorganization of the Growth and Income Portfolio and the Aggressive Growth Portfolio (“the Acquired Funds”) pursuant to which the Funds’ assets would be acquired, and their liabilities assumed, by the Legg Mason Partners Variable Appreciation Portfolio and the Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III — Legg Mason Partners Variable Aggressive Growth Portfolio (the “Acquiring Funds”), respectively, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Funds. The Acquired Funds would then be liquidated, and shares of the Acquiring Funds would be distributed to shareholders of the Acquired Funds.

Under the reorganization, the Acquired Funds shareholders would receive shares of the Acquiring Funds with the same aggregate net asset value as their shares of the Acquired Funds. It is anticipated that as a result of the reorganization, shareholders of the Acquired Funds would recognize no gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes. The reorganization is subject to the satisfaction of certain condition, including approval by the Acquired Funds’ shareholders.

Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II 2006 Semi-Annual Report 73

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Proxy materials describing the reorganizations are expected to be sent to Acquired Fund shareholders later in 2006. If Acquiring Funds’ shareholders approve the reorganizations, they are expected to occur during 2007.

(The following applies to all Funds)

The Funds’ Board has also approved a number of other initiatives designed to streamline and restructure the fund complex, and has authorized seeking shareholder approval for those initiatives where shareholder approval is required. As a result, each Fund’s shareholders will be asked to elect a new Board, approve matters that will result in the Funds being grouped for organizational and governance purposes with other funds in the fund complex, and domicile the Funds as a Maryland business trust, with all funds operating under uniform charter documents. Each Fund’s shareholders also will be asked to approve investment matters, including standardized fundamental investment policies.

Proxy materials describing these matters are expected to be sent to shareholders later in 2006. If shareholder approval is obtained, these matters generally are expected to be implemented during 2007.


12.	Recent Accounting Pronouncement

During June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48” or the “Interpretation”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB statement 109. FIN 48 supplements FASB Statement 109 by defining the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a fund should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the fund has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based solely on its technical merits. Management must be able to conclude that the tax law, regulations, case law, and other objective information regarding the technical merits sufficiently support the position’s sustainability with a likelihood of more than 50 percent. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006, which for these Funds will be January 1, 2007. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management of the Funds is currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have on the financial statements.

Board Approval of Management and
Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)

At a meeting held in person on June 28, the Funds’ Board, including a majority of the Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the Funds or Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (the “Manager”) or any sub-investment adviser or proposed sub-investment adviser as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”), approved a new management agreement (the “New Management Agreement”) between the Funds and the Manager. The Funds’ Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, also approved one or more new subadvisory agreements between the Manager and each of CAM North America LLC, Western Asset Management Co. and Western Asset Management Co. Ltd., (each a “Subadviser”) (each a “New Subadvisory Agreement”). The New Management Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreements replaced the Funds’ prior management agreement with Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc., Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and TIMCO Asset, Management, Inc., respectively manager and the prior subadvisory agreement with the Subadviser and were entered into in connection with an internal reorganization of the Manager’s and the prior manager’s and the Subadvisers’ parent organization, Legg Mason. In approving the New Management Agreement and New Subadvisory Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the factors discussed below, among other things.

The Board noted that the Manager will provide administrative and certain oversight services to the Funds, and that the Manager will delegate to each of the Subadvisers the day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds. The Board Members reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel that will provide oversight and general management services and the portfolio management team that would be primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Board Members noted that the portfolio management team was expected to be the same as then managing the Funds.

The Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Funds by the Manager under the New Management Agreement and by the Subadvisers under the New Subadvisory Agreements. The Board Members’ evaluation of the services expected to be provided by the Manager and the Subadvisers took into account the Board Members’ knowledge and familiarity gained as Fund Board Members, including as to the scope and quality of Legg Mason’s investment management and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The Board Members considered, among other things, information and assurances provided by Legg Mason as to the operations, facilities and organization of the Manager and the Subadvisers and the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of their senior personnel. The Board Members further considered the financial resources available to the Manager, the Subadvisers and Legg Mason. The Board Members concluded that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided under the New Management Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreements were acceptable.

The Board Members also received and considered performance information for the Funds as well as comparative information with respect to a peer group of funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board Members were provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to determine the similarity of the Funds to the funds included in the Performance Universe. The Board Members noted that they had received and discussed with management, at periodic intervals, information comparing each Fund’s performance against, among other things, their benchmarks. Based on the Board Members’ review, which included careful consideration of the factors noted above, the Board Members concluded that the performance of the Fund, under the circumstances, supported approval of the New Management Agreement and New Subadvisory Agreements.

The Board Members reviewed and considered the management fees that would be payable by the Funds to the Manager in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services expected to be provided by the Manager. Additionally, the Board Members received and considered information comparing the Funds’ management fees and overall expenses with those of comparable funds in both the relevant expense group and a broader group of funds, each selected and provided by Lipper. The Board Members also reviewed and considered the subadvisory fee that would be payable by the Manager to the Subadviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services expected to be provided by the Subadvisers. The Board Members noted that the Manager, and not the Funds, will pay the subadvisory fee to each Subadviser. The Board Members determined that the Funds’ management fees and the Funds’ subadvisory fees were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided to the Funds under the New Management Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreements.

The Board Members received and considered a pro-forma profitability analysis of Legg Mason and its affiliates in providing services to the Funds, including information with respect to the allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data. The Board Members recognized that Legg Mason may realize economies of scale based on its internal reorganization and synergies of operations. The Board Members noted that it was not possible to predict with a high degree of confidence how Legg Mason’s and its affiliates’ profitability would be affected by its internal reorganization and by other factors including potential economies of scale, but that based on their review of the pro forma profitability analysis, their most recent prior review of the profitability of the predecessor manager and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund and other factors considered, they determined that the management fee was reasonable. The Board Members noted that they expect to receive profitability information on an annual basis.

In their deliberations, the Board Members also considered, and placed significant importance on, information that had been received and conclusions that had been reached by the Board in connection with the Board’s most recent approval of the Funds’ prior management agreement and the prior subadvisory agreements, in addition to information

provided in connection with the Board’s evaluation of the terms and conditions of the New Management Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreements.

The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice and the advice of its counsel that the New Management Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreements were being entered into in connection with an internal reorganization within Legg Mason, that did not involve an actual change of control or management. The Board Members further noted that the terms and conditions of the New Management Agreement are substantially identical to those of the Funds’ previous management agreement except for the identity of the Manager, and that the initial term of the New Management Agreement (after which it will continue in effect only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members) was the same as that under the prior management agreement. They noted, in addition, that the terms and conditions of the New Subadvisory Agreements are likewise unchanged from those of the prior subadvisory agreements.

In light of all of the foregoing, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, approved the New Management Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreements. No single factor reviewed by the Board Members was identified as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the New Management Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Board Members also discussed the proposed approval of the New Management Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Manager or Subadvisers were present.
