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 “C” 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 “C,” 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” are 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.

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.

A-1	—	Standard & Poor’s highest commercial paper and variable-rate demand obligation (VRDO) rating
		indicating that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong;
		those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign.

VMIG 1	—	Moody’s highest rating for issues having a demand feature— VRDO.

P-1	—	Moody’s highest rating for commercial paper and for VRDO prior to the advent of the VMIG 1 rating.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

The Salomon Brothers Municipal Partners Fund II Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on June 21, 1993 and is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), as amended.

The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

(a) Investment Valuation. Securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or where market quotations are determined not to reflect fair value, will be valued in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

(b) Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

2. Investments

At September 30, 2005, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes were substantially as follows:


Gross unrealized appreciation	$	4,531,307
