Jay Gerken R. JAY GERKEN, CFA Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Dear Shareholder, During the final two months of 2003, domestic economic growth began to show clear signs of improvement. The economy continued to accelerate at a strong pace compared with earlier in the year. The pick-up was reflected by real gross domestic product ("GDP") growth of 4.1% and 4.2%/i/ over each of the past two calendar quarters ended March 31, 2004, respectively. During the six-month period covered by this report, there was a resurgence in capital spending by corporations, and modest revenue increases translated into positive corporate earnings surprises. Investors' enthusiasm for the strong corporate earnings environment contributed to the stock market's rally during much of the six-month period ended April 30, 2004. However, the stock market overall performed less favorably later in the period. This was due in part to more pronounced concerns about inflation, which in March reached its highest level of annualized growth since June 2001 amid the pick-up in the economy. Even the tepid U.S. labor market grew significantly by some measures that month./ii/ The combination of economic growth and recent comments from the Fed about the economy exacerbated bond investors' concerns about the course of interest rates. As a result the yields on bonds, which move opposite to their prices, rose over the period following a sharp increase in April in anticipation of still higher rates in coming months./iii/ Please see the chart on the following page for fund performance./1/ 1 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2004 Semi-Annual Report /1/Each fund is an underlying investment option of various variable annuity products. A variable annuity product is a contract issued by an insurance company where the annuity premium (a set amount of dollars) is immediately turned into units of a portfolio of securities. Upon retirement, the policyholder is paid according to accumulated units whose dollar value varies according to the performance of the securities within the sub-accounts. Its objective is to preserve, through investment, the purchasing value of the annuity, which otherwise is subject to erosion through inflation. The funds' performance returns do not reflect the deduction of initial sales charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in variable annuity contracts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which if reflected, would reduce the performance of the fund. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Lipper, Inc. is a major independent mutual-fund tracking organization. Returns are based on the six-month period ended April 30, 2004 and include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Returns for the Lipper multi-cap growth variable funds category were calculated among the 1270 funds in that category. Returns for the Lipper large-cap core variable funds category were calculated among the 1864 funds in the category. Returns for the Lipper general U.S. government variable funds category were calculated among the 382 funds in the category. 2 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2004 Semi-Annual Report Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the fund returned 0.17%. These shares underperformed the fund's unmanaged benchmarks, the S&P MidCap 400 Index,/iv/ Russell 1000 Growth Index/v/ and Russell 2000 Growth Index,/vi/ which returned 6.93%, 4.14% and 4.01%, respectively for the same period. They also lagged the fund's Lipper multi-cap growth variable funds category average, which returned 3.22%./2/ The fund underperformed its benchmark indices due largely to poor stock selection in the information technology sector, especially in the semiconductor industry. Although the fund had less exposure to the poorly performing technology sector overall, weak individual positions in this sector dragged down performance versus the benchmarks. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary, industrials and health care sectors also negatively impacted fund performance. However, stock picks in the consumer staples and financials sectors had a positive influence on fund performance in comparison to the benchmarks./vii/ In terms of individual fund holdings, positive contributors to fund performance included shares of gaming operator Station Casinos, Inc., consumer product manufacturer The Gillette Co., and famed investor Warren Buffet's holding company Berkshire Hathaway Inc., (which operates largely in the insurance industry). Top detractors from performance included shares of internet retailer Amazon.com, Inc. and several semiconductor producers including Texas Instruments Inc., Intel Corp., and Cypress Semiconductor Corp./viii/ Smith Barney Large Cap Core Portfolio For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the fund returned 3.41%. These shares underperformed the fund's unmanaged benchmark, the S&P 500 Index,/ix/ which returned 6.27%, for the same period. They also lagged the fund's Lipper large-cap core variable funds category average, which returned 4.46%./3/ The fund's underperformance relative to its benchmark can be primarily attributed to weak stock selection in the financials, information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. However, the fund's performance was helped by better stock selection in the industrials and health care sectors. Among the biggest contributors to the fund's performance was its position in Biogen Idec Inc., a biotechnology company that produces the anti-cancer drug, Rituxan. Other primary contributors were Exxon Mobil Corp., an integrated oil and gas company, and Pfizer Inc., the world's largest pharmaceutical company. On the negative side, detractors from fund performance included Intel Corp., a semiconductor manufacturer, VERITAS Software Corp., a provider of data availability software solutions, and Wyeth, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical and health care products companies./x/ Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio Special Shareholder Notice Effective November 10, 2003, Kevin Caliendo took on the role of Co-Portfolio Manager of the fund. Mr. Caliendo has been an investment officer with Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (the "manager") and a Director of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., an affiliate of the manager since 2002. /2/Lipper, Inc. is a major independent mutual-fund tracking organization. Returns are based on the six-month period ended April 30, 2004, calculated among the 1270 funds in the fund's Lipper category including the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. /3/Lipper, Inc. is a major independent mutual-fund tracking organization. Returns are based on the six-month period ended April 30, 2004, calculated among the 1864 funds in the fund's Lipper category including the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. 3 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2004 Semi-Annual Report For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the fund returned 4.80%. These shares underperformed the fund's unmanaged benchmark, the S&P 500 Index,/xi/ which returned 6.27%, for the same period. However, they outperformed the fund's Lipper large-cap core variable funds category average, which returned 4.46%./4/ The fund's performance was helped by select positions in the telecommunication services, health care and industrial sectors. In particular, mobile service provider AT&T Wireless Services Inc., biotechnology company Elan Corp. PLC and manufacturing conglomerate Tyco International Ltd. contributed to positive results. Stock selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors hampered fund performance. Negatively impacting performance were holdings in global telecommunications equipment maker Nortel Networks Corp, semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies AG, and consumer electronics retailer Best Buy Co. Inc./xii/ SB Government Portfolio For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the fund returned 0.09%. These shares underperformed the fund's unmanaged benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index,/xiii/ which returned 0.84% for the same period. They also lagged the Lipper general U.S. government variable funds category average, which returned 0.37%./5/ Given the recent uncertainty in the direction of interest rates, the portfolio manager took a relatively cautious posture in managing the fund's exposure to interest rate sensitivity versus prior years when the Fed was aggressively cutting its interest rate targets. From a credit perspective, the manager continued to strategically allocate assets among mortgage-backed securities, which held up much better than comparable-maturity U.S. Treasury bonds during April and the period,/xiv/ and it also remained diversified in government agencies and asset-backed securities. Information About Your Fund In recent months several issues in the mutual fund industry have come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators. The funds' 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 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 always, thank you for your continued confidence in our stewardship of your assets. We look forward to helping you continue to meet your financial goals. Sincerely, /s/ R Jay Gerken R.

Significant Accounting Policies Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio, Smith Barney Large Cap Core Portfolio, Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio and SB Government Portfolio ("Funds") are separate investment funds of the Smith Barney Investment Series ("Trust"). The Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, ("1940 Act") as a diversified open-end management investment company and consists of these Funds and three other separate retail investment funds: Smith Barney Large Cap Core Fund, SB Growth and Income Fund and Smith Barney International Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights for the other funds are presented in separate shareholder reports. The Trust is offered exclusively for use with certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts offered through the separate accounts of various life insurance companies and qualified pension and retirement plans. The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"): (a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities traded on national securities markets are valued at the closing prices on such markets or, if there were no sales during the day, at fair value determined by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees; securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges, except that when a significant event, subsequent to the time a value was so established, is likely to have significantly changed the value, then the fair value of those securities will be determined by consideration of other factors by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees or its delegates; over-the-counter securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices; U.S. government and agency obligations are valued at the average between bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market; securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price on that day, at the last sale price; (c) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount or minus amortized premium, which approximates value; (d) 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 Trustees; (e) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis; (f ) 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; (g) gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification method; (h) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date; the Funds distribute dividends and capital gains, if any, at least annually; (i) the accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank; ( j) realized gain and loss on foreign currency includes the net realized amount from the sale of currency and the amount realized between trade date and settlement date on security transactions; (k) the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; ( l) each Fund intends to comply with the requirements 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 (m) 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. 25 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2004 Semi-Annual Report NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) In addition, the Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio may enter into forward exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency risk. These contracts are marked-to-market daily, by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled or offset by entering into another forward exchange contract. The Funds may from time to time enter into options and/or futures contracts in order to hedge market or currency risk. 2. Investment Management Agreement and Other Transactions Smith Barney Fund Management LLC ("SBFM"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup"), acts as investment manager to the Funds. Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth, Smith Barney Large Cap Core and Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolios each pay SBFM a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each Fund, respectively, and SB Government Portfolio pays SBFM a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. These fees are calculated daily and paid monthly. Citicorp Trust Bank, fsb. ("CTB"), another subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Funds' transfer agent. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC") acts as the Funds' sub-transfer agent. CTB receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the size and type of account. PFPC is responsible for shareholder recordkeeping and financial processing for all shareholder accounts and is paid by CTB. For the six months ended April 30, 2004, each Fund paid transfer agent fees of $2,500 to CTB. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("CGM"), another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Funds' distributor. For the six months ended April 30, 2004, CGM and its affiliates received $2,382 in brokerage commissions for the Funds' agency transactions. All officers and one Trustee of the Trust are employees of Citigroup or its affiliates. The Trustees of the Funds have adopted a Retirement Plan ("Plan") for all Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Funds, within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, all Trustees are required to retire from the Board as of the last day of the calendar year in which the applicable Trustee attains age 75 (certain Trustees who had already attained age 75 when the Plan was adopted were required to retire effective December 31, 2003). Trustees may retire under the Plan before attaining the mandatory retirement age. Trustees who have served as Trustee of the Trust or any of the investment companies associated with Citigroup for at least ten years when they retire are eligible to receive the maximum retirement benefit under the Plan. The maximum retirement benefit is an amount equal to five times the amount of retainer and regular meeting fees payable to a Trustee during the calendar year ending on or immediately prior to the applicable Trustee's retirement. Amounts under the Plan may be paid in installments or in a lump sum (discounted to present value). Benefits under the Plan are unfunded. Two former Trustees are currently receiving payments under the Plan. In addition, two other Trustees elected to receive a lump sum payment from this plan during the period. The amount of benefits to be paid under the Plan cannot currently be determined for current Trustees. Messrs. Carlton, Cocanougher, Gross, Merten and Pettit also are covered by a prior retirement plan. Under the prior plan, retirement benefits are payable for a ten-year period following retirement, with the annual payment to be based upon the Trustee's compensation from the Trust during calendar year 2000. Trustees with more than five but less than ten years of service at retirement will receive a prorated benefit. In order to receive benefits under the current Plan, a Trustee must waive all rights under the prior plan prior to receiving payment under either plan. Total aggregate retirement benefits accrued under the prior plan for the six months ended April 30, 2004 were $2,159. The amount of benefits to be paid under the prior plan cannot currently be determined for these Trustees. 26 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2004 Semi-Annual Report NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) 3. Investments During the six months ended April 30, 2004, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities of long-term investments, but excluding short-term investments and mortgage dollar rolls) were as follows: Purchases Sales - ----------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio $ 8,484,535 $ 8,652,713 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Large Cap Core Portfolio 18,840,419 16,849,770 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio 21,673,299 14,493,323 - ---------------------------------------------------------- SB Government Portfolio 33,950,336 49,797,813 - ---------------------------------------------------------- At April 30, 2004, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were substantially as follows: Net Unrealized Appreciation Appreciation Depreciation (Depreciation) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio $6,008,472 $(2,426,992) $3,581,480 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Large Cap Core Portfolio 8,315,845 (2,480,168) 5,835,677 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio 8,342,589 (1,246,302) 7,096,287 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SB Government Portfolio 834,910 (1,181,200) (346,290) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Repurchase Agreements When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Funds' 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 Funds may be delayed or limited. 5. Futures Contracts The Funds may from time to time enter into 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 contracts. 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 (and cost of) the closing transaction 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. 27 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2004 Semi-Annual Report NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) At April 30, 2004, SB Government Portfolio had the following open futures contracts: Number of Market Unrealized Contracts Expiration Basis Value Value Loss - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contracts to Sell: U.S. Treasury Notes 330 6/04 $36,248,569 $36,279,375 $ (30,806) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contracts to Buy: U.S. Treasury Bonds 100 6/04 11,432,536 10,709,375 (723,161) U.S. Treasury Notes 132 6/04 15,000,073 14,586,000 (414,073) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1,137,234) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Unrealized Loss on Open Futures Contracts $(1,168,040) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At April 30, 2004, Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth, Smith Barney Large Cap Core and Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolios did not have any open futures contracts. 6. Lending of Portfolio Securities The Funds have an agreement with their custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Funds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as interest income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities, high quality money market instruments or other securities that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities, plus a margin which may vary depending on the type of securities loaned. The Funds maintain exposure for the risk of any loss in the investment of amounts received as collateral. At April 30, 2004, Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio had loaned securities having a market value of $2,765,392. Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio received cash collateral amounting to $2,860,377 which was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust Prime Portfolio. Income earned by Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio from securities lending for the six months ended April 30, 2004 was $1,485. At April 30, 2004, Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth, Smith Barney Large Cap Core and SB Government Portfolios did not have any securities on loan. 7. Securities Traded on a To-Be-Announced Basis The Funds may trade securities on a to-be-announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA transaction, the Funds commit to purchasing or selling securities for which specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date in Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") 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. At April 30, 2004, SB Government Portfolio held TBA securities with a total cost of $45,481,094. 28 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2004 Semi-Annual Report NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) 8. Mortgage Dollar Rolls SB Government Portfolio may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions. A mortgage dollar roll transaction involves a sale by the Fund of mortgage related securities that it holds with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase similar securities at an agreed upon price and date. The securities repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. Proceeds from the sale will be reinvested and the income from these investments, together with any additional income received on the sale, is included in investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to repurchase the securities may be limited. During the six months ended April 30, 2004, SB Government Portfolio entered into mortgage dollar roll transactions in the aggregate amount of $431,300,000. At April 30, 2004, SB Government Portfolio had outstanding mortgage dollar rolls with a total cost of $45,481,094. 9. Shares of Beneficial Interest At April 30, 2004, the Trust had an unlimited number of shares authorized with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Transactions in shares of each Fund were as follows: Six Months Ended Year Ended April 30, 2004 October 31, 2003 - ----------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio Shares sold 186,197 344,878 Shares reacquired (154,911) (495,589) - ----------------------------------------------------- Net Increase (Decrease) 31,286 (150,711) - ----------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Large Cap Core Portfolio Shares sold 660,274 1,178,419 Shares issued on reinvestment 35,544 30,596 Shares reacquired (330,756) (801,697) - ----------------------------------------------------- Net Increase 365,062 407,318 - ----------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio Shares sold 1,009,297 1,542,017 Shares issued on reinvestment 34,319 29,088 Shares reacquired (105,344) (420,814) - ----------------------------------------------------- Net Increase 938,272 1,150,291 - ----------------------------------------------------- SB Government Portfolio Shares sold 763,073 5,651,429 Shares issued on reinvestment 345,833 117,038 Shares reacquired (1,189,949) (2,029,223) - ----------------------------------------------------- Net Increase (Decrease) (81,043) 3,739,244 - ----------------------------------------------------- 10.Additional Information The Funds have received the following information from Citigroup Asset Management ("CAM"), the Citigroup business unit which includes the Funds' 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 sub-contracted for a period of five years certain of the transfer agency services to a third party and also 29 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2004 Semi-Annual Report NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) 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. The Boards of CAM-managed funds (the "Boards") were not informed of the Revenue Guarantee Agreement with the sub-contractor at the time the Boards considered and approved the transfer agent arrangements. 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 approximately $17 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. 30 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2004 Semi-Annual Report FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS For a share of each class of beneficial interest outstanding throughout the year ended October 31, unless otherwise noted: Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio 2004/(1)/ 2003 2002 2001 2000/(2)/ 1999/(3)/ - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Asset Value, Beginning of Period $ 11.45 $ 8.96 $ 10.73 $ 14.48 $ 10.11 $ 10.00 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income (Loss) From Operations: Net investment income (loss)/(4)/ (0.01) (0.01) (0.03) 0.02 0.09 0.01 Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) 0.03 2.50 (1.73) (3.69) 4.30 0.10 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Income (Loss) From Operations 0.02 2.49 (1.76) (3.67) 4.39 0.11 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Less Distributions From: Net investment income -- -- (0.01) (0.04) (0.02) -- Net realized gains -- -- -- (0.04) -- -- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Distributions -- -- (0.01) (0.08) (0.02) -- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Asset Value, End of Period $ 11.47 $ 11.45 $ 8.96 $ 10.73 $ 14.48 $ 10.11 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Return/(5)/ 0.17%++ 27.79% (16.44)% (25.45)% 43.43% 1.10%++ - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Assets, End of Period (000s) $35,288 $34,884 $28,628 $34,384 $21,419 $3,032 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratios to Average Net Assets: Expenses/(4)(6)/ 0.94%+ 0.90% 0.95% 0.95% 0.95% 0.95%+ Net investment income (loss) (0.25)+ (0.08) (0.25) 0.16 0.72 1.00+ - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Portfolio Turnover Rate 24% 66% 58% 116% 58% 8% - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) For the six months ended April 30, 2004 (unaudited).

(4) The Manager agreed to waive all or a portion of its fees for the years ended October 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 and the period ended October 31, 1999. In addition, the Manager also reimbursed expenses of $57,022, $33,010 and $14,291 for the years ended October 31, 2001 and 2000, and the period ended October 31, 1999, respectively. If such fees were not waived and expenses not reimbursed, the per share decreases to net investment income and the actual expense ratios would have been as follows: Expense Ratios Per Share Decreases to Without Fee Waivers and/or Net Investment Income Expense Reimbursements ----------------------- ---------------------- 2002 2001 2000 1999 2002 2001 2000 1999 ----- ----- ----- ----- ---- ---- ---- ---- SB Government Portfolio $0.02 $0.06 $0.13 $0.04 1.00% 1.30% 2.06% 3.73%+ (5) Effective November 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 October 31, 2002, net investment income, net realized and unrealized gain and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been $0.36, $0.12 and 3.32%, respectively. Per share information, ratios and supplemental data for the periods prior to November 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation. (6)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 be reduced. 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 for all periods shown. (7) As a result of a voluntary expense limitation, the ratio of expenses to average net assets will not exceed 0.80%. * Excluding mortgage dollar roll transactions. If mortgage dollar roll transactions had been included, the portfolio turnover rate would have been 389% and 429% for the six months ended April 30, 2004 and the year ended October 31, 2003, respectively. ++ Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. + Annualized. 34 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2004 Semi-Annual Report SMITH BARNEY INVESTMENT SERIES TRUSTEES OFFICERS (Cont'd.)
