JAY GERKEN, CFA Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Dear Shareholder, The philosopher Bertrand Russell famously remarked that, "Change is one thing, progress is another." You will notice in the following pages that we have begun to implement some changes to your shareholder report and we will be reflecting other changes in future reports. Our aim is to make meaningful improvements in reporting on the management of your Fund and its performance, not just to enact change for change's sake. Please bear with us during this transition period. We know that you have questions about fund managers' decisions and plans, and we want to be sure that you have easy access to the information you need. Keeping investors informed is, and always will be, one of my top priorities as Chairman of your Fund. To that end, we encourage you to go to our website: www.smithbarneymutualfunds.com where you can find additional insight on your Fund. In terms of your Fund's stewardship, it is with great sadness that we bring to your attention the passing of Alfred J. Bianchetti, Director Emeritus, and James J. Crisona, Director Emeritus, of the Fund. Messrs. Bianchetti and Crisona, who both passed away on September 4th, lived accomplished lives to the ages of 80 and 97, respectively. We will sorely miss their presence and will remember the dedicated service they provided to the Fund's shareholders through their outstanding contributions as long-term members of the Board. We invite you to read this report in full. Please take the opportunity to talk to your financial adviser about this report or any other questions or concerns you have about your Fund and your financial future. As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to us. We look forward to helping you continue to meet your financial goals. Sincerely, /s/ R. Jay Gerken R.

See Notes to Financial Statements. 8 Smith Barney California Municipals Fund Inc. | 2003 Semi-Annual Report ================================================================================ 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 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 debts in this category than in higher rated categories. BB, B, -- Bonds rated "BB", "B", "CCC" and "CC" are regarded, on balance, as CCC predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and and CC repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. "BB" represents a lower degree of speculation than "B", "CCC" and "CC", the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainities or major risk exposures to adverse conditions. 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 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 these bonds. 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 that 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 that suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future. Baa -- Bonds rated "Baa" are considered to be medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payment and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. 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 thereby 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 payment or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small. Caa -- Bonds rated "Caa" are of poor standing. These issues may be in default, or present elements of danger may exist with respect to principal or interest. NR -- Indicates that the bond is not rated by Standard & Poor's or Moody's. 9 Smith Barney California Municipals Fund Inc. | 2003 Semi-Annual Report ================================================================================ Short-Term Security Ratings (unaudited) ================================================================================ SP-1 -- Standard & Poor's highest rating indicating very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest; those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign.

Significant Accounting Policies Smith Barney California Municipals Fund Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. 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 the quoted bid and asked prices as provided by an independent pricing service; (c) securities for which market quotations are not available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or under the direction of the Board of Directors; (d) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount or minus amortized premium, which approximates value; (e) gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated using the specific identification method; (f) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis; (g) class specific expenses are charged to each class; management fees and general fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets of each class or on another reasonable basis; (h) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (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; (j) the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and (k) 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. 2. Exempt-Interest Dividends and Other Distributions The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from Federal income tax and from designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the shareholders of the Fund. It is the Fund's policy to distribute dividends monthly. Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are declared and paid at least annually. 3. Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other Transactions 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 advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly. 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 in excess of $500 million. 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 Global Fund Services ("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 six months ended August 31, 2003, the Fund paid transfer agent fees of $77,918 to CTB. 14 Smith Barney California Municipals Fund Inc. | 2003 Semi-Annual Report ================================================================================ Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued) ================================================================================ Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("CGM") and PFSDistributors, Inc., both of which are subsidiaries of Citigroup, act as the Fund's distributors. There are maximum initial sales charges of 4.00% and 1.00% for Class A and L shares, respectively. 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 L shares also have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment. In addition, Class A shares also have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment. This CDSC only applies to those purchases of Class A shares, which, when combined with current holdings of Class A shares, equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge. For the six months ended August 31, 2003, CGM and its affiliates received sales charges of approximately $337,000 and $39,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A and L shares, respectively. In addition, for the six months ended August 31, 2003, CDSCs paid to CGM and its affiliates were approximately: Class A Class B Class L ================================================================================ CDSCs $24,000 $126,000 $1,000 ================================================================================ All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of Citigroup or its affiliates. 4. Investments During the six months ended August 31, 2003, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities of long-term investments, but excluding short-term investments) were as follows: ================================================================================ Purchases $ 97,482,216 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales 108,980,687 ================================================================================ At August 31, 2003, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were substantially as follows: ================================================================================ Gross unrealized appreciation $72,329,415 Gross unrealized depreciation (5,621,842) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation $66,707,573 ================================================================================ 5. Futures Contracts Securities or cash equal to the initial margin amount are either deposited with the broker or segregated by the custodian upon entering into the futures contract. 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 received or made 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 typically 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. 15 Smith Barney California Municipals Fund Inc. | 2003 Semi-Annual Report ================================================================================ Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued) ================================================================================ At August 31, 2003, the Fund had the following open futures contracts: Number of Basis Market Unrealized Contracts Expiration Value Value Gain (Loss) ================================================================================================================================== To Sell: U.S. Treasury Bonds 1,550 9/03 $183,965,625 $166,479,687 $17,485,938 U.S. Treasury Bonds 875 12/03 92,724,219 92,750,000 (25,781) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Unrealized Gain on Open Futures Contracts $17,460,157 =================================================================================================================================== 6. Concentration of Credit The Fund primarily invests in debt obligations issued by the State of California and local governments in the State of California, its political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. The Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of California municipal securities than is a municipal bond fund that is not concentrated in these issuers to the same extent. 7. Class Specific Expenses Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to its Class A, B and L shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of each respective class. The Fund also pays a distribution fee with respect to its Class B and L shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55% of the average daily net assets for each class, respectively. For the six months ended August 31, 2003, total Distribution Plan fees, which are accrued daily and paid monthly, were as follows: Class A Class B Class L ================================================================================ Distribution Plan Fees $541,417 $500,915 $214,303 ================================================================================ For the six months ended August 31, 2003, total Shareholder Servicing fees were as follows: Class A Class B Class L ================================================================================ Shareholder Servicing Fees $62,208 $27,244 $8,521 ================================================================================ For the six months ended August 31, 2003, total Shareholder Communication expenses were as follows: Class A Class B Class L ================================================================================ Shareholder Communication Expenses $11,200 $4,307 $1,348 ================================================================================ 8.

Capital Shares At August 31, 2003, the Fund had 500 million shares of $0.001 par value capital stock authorized. The Fund has the ability to establish multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an identical interest in the Fund and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain expenses specifically related to the distribution of its shares. Transactions in shares of each class were as follows: Six Months Ended Year Ended August 31, 2003 February 28, 2003 --------------------------------- --------------------------------- Shares Amount Shares Amount =========================================================================================================================== Class A Shares sold 2,277,089 $ 38,187,608 6,865,113 $ 115,404,814 Shares issued on reinvestment 494,596 8,279,393 1,073,073 18,045,904 Shares reacquired (4,681,860) (78,506,605) (8,295,606) (139,736,628) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Decrease (1,910,175) $(32,039,604) (357,420) $ (6,285,910) =========================================================================================================================== Class B Shares sold 508,166 $ 8,514,326 1,453,307 $ 24,480,955 Shares issued on reinvestment 89,486 1,495,752 203,405 3,416,150 Shares reacquired (1,221,792) (20,436,866) (2,292,714) (38,569,588) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Decrease (624,140) $(10,426,788) (636,002) $ (10,672,483) =========================================================================================================================== Class L Shares sold 261,309 $ 4,373,180 773,862 $ 13,037,062 Shares issued on reinvestment 46,257 772,475 98,008 1,644,565 Shares reacquired (427,969) (7,157,831) (705,628) (11,858,907) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Increase (Decrease) (120,403) $ (2,012,176) 166,242 $ 2,822,720 =========================================================================================================================== 17 Smith Barney California Municipals Fund Inc. | 2003 Semi-Annual Report ================================================================================ Financial Highlights ================================================================================ For a share of each class of capital stock outstanding throughout each year ended February 28, unless otherwise noted: Class A Shares 2003(1)(2) 2003(2) 2002(2) 2001(2) 2000(2)(3) 1999(2) =================================================================================================================================== Net Asset Value, Beginning of Period $16.76 $16.93 $16.70 $15.28 $16.93 $16.99 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income (Loss) From Operations: Net investment income(4) 0.38 0.77 0.79 0.79 0.78 0.77 Net realized and unrealized gain (loss)(4) (0.13) (0.17) 0.22 1.41 (1.67) 0.07 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Income (Loss) From Operations 0.25 0.60 1.01 2.20 (0.89) 0.84 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Less Distributions From: Net investment income (0.37) (0.77) (0.78) (0.78) (0.76) (0.78) In excess of net investment income -- -- -- -- -- (0.02) Net realized gains -- -- -- -- -- (0.10) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Distributions (0.37) (0.77) (0.78) (0.78) (0.76) (0.90) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Asset Value, End of Period $16.64 $16.76 $16.93 $16.70 $15.28 $16.93 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Return 1.49%++ 3.59% 6.20% 14.70% (5.36)% 5.02% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Assets, End of Period (millions) $ 697 $ 734 $ 747 $ 698 $ 628 $ 769 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratios to Average Net Assets: Expenses 0.68%+ 0.70% 0.68% 0.68% 0.70% 0.68% Net investment income(4) 4.48+ 4.58 4.68 4.91 4.99 4.53 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Portfolio Turnover Rate 11% 12% 21% 29% 29% 13% =================================================================================================================================== (1) For the six months ended August 31, 2003 (unaudited).
