Seligman Portfolios, Inc.
Performance and Portfolio Overview

This section of the Annual Report is intended to help you understand the performance of each Portfolio of Seligman Portfolios, Inc. (the “Fund”), and to provide a summary of their portfolio characteristics.

Performance data quoted in this Annual Report represents past performance and does not guarantee future investment results. The rates of return will vary and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares, if redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Total returns of the Fund as of the most recent month-end will be available at www.seligman.com1 by the seventh business day following that month-end. Calculations assume reinvestment of distributions. Returns for Class 1 and Class 2 shares are calculated without any sales charges. Performance data quoted are net of all portfolio operating expenses, but do not include any charges imposed on contract owners by the insurance companies’ separate account or by any pension or retirement plan. If these additional charges were included, performance would have been lower. For certain Portfolios, J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (the “Manager”) voluntarily reimbursed expenses. Such reimbursement can be discontinued at any time at the Manager’s discretion. Absent such reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

The chart for each Portfolio compares a $10,000 hypothetical investment made in Class 1 shares, to $10,000 hypothetical investments made in the appropriate benchmark indices, for the 10-year or since-inception period through December 31, 2004. For those Portfolios that issued Class 2 shares, the performance of Class 2 shares, which commenced on a later date, is not shown in the charts, but is included in the tables of returns. The performance of Class 2 shares will differ from the performance shown for Class 1 shares, based on the differences in fees paid by each class. The averages and indices are unmanaged benchmarks that assume reinvestment of distributions. The performance of the averages excludes the effect of taxes and sales charges, and the performance of the indices excludes the effect of taxes, fees, and sales charges. Investors cannot invest directly in an average or index. The charts and total returns do not reflect any fees or charges that investors will incur in purchasing or selling units of the Variable Accounts.

Prior to March 31, 2000, Seligman employed subadvisers that were responsible for providing all or a portion of the portfolio management services with respect to the investments of Seligman Global Growth Portfolio, Seligman Global Technology Portfolio, and Seligman International Growth Portfolio, and prior to January 1, 2003 with respect to investments of Seligman Global Smaller Companies Portfolio. For the periods following, until September 15, 2003, exclusively Seligman managed the assets of these Portfolios. Since September 15, 2003, Wellington Management Company, LLP has acted as subadviser to provide portfolio management services for Seligman Global Growth Portfolio, Seligman Global Smaller Companies Portfolio, and Seligman International Growth Portfolio. See note 5 to the Financial Statements on pages 74 and 75 of this report for additional information.

Accompanying each chart is a discussion of the factors that affected the Portfolio during the past year.

Seligman Portfolios, Inc.
Performance and Portfolio Overview

Seligman Capital Portfolio

 
 

For the year ended December 31, 2004, Class 1 shares of Seligman Capital Portfolio posted a total return of 8.60%. During the same time period, the Lipper Mid-Cap Funds Average returned 14.82%, the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Average returned 12.78%, and the Russell Midcap Growth Index returned 15.48%.

Returns for US equity markets were essentially flat for most of the year, with gains restrained by soaring energy prices, a close US presidential race, and concerns about rising interest rates. For most of the year, growth stocks sharply underperformed value stocks, particularly among larger companies. Technology stocks were further hampered in the third quarter by some disappointing earnings announcements delivered within the software industry. The fourth quarter, however, saw a strong and broad market rally, which was driven, we believe, by a sharp decline in oil prices at the end of October, and was given a further boost by a quick resolution to the presidential election in November. The year ended with strong gains for US stocks as a whole.
 
The Portfolio maintained heavy technology exposure during the year, and at year-end it represented the Portfolio’s largest sector weight. The Portfolio was about equally weighted in this sector with the Russell Midcap Growth Index (the “Russell Index”). While technology stocks did rally in the fourth quarter on upbeat earnings announcements and increased merger activity, it was the worst-performing sector within the Russell Index for the year. In addition, while the information technology stocks within the Portfolio delivered positive returns overall, they underperformed those of the Russell Index, placing a drag on the Portfolio’s relative returns.

The Portfolio emphasized health care stocks in 2004, overweighting the sector relative to the Russell Index and making health care the Portfolio’s second-largest sector weight. Health care stocks struggled for much of the year, but bounced back in the fourth quarter. The reelection of President Bush was likely a factor in this rebound, as many believed the President will provide a favorable legislative environment for these companies. For the year, these stocks were strong performers within the Russell Index, and the Portfolio’s holdings as a whole outperformed those within the Index.

During the year, we believed the economy would continue to strengthen and thus overweighted industrial stocks, which tend to benefit from increased economic activity. However, the industrial stocks within the Portfolio delivered relatively poor, albeit positive, returns. The Portfolio’s holdings in this group were split among business services companies, which have struggled in response to slow employment growth, and more traditional manufacturing companies, whose profits were likely restrained by higher energy prices. However, these companies have experienced generally strong growth and many have successfully increased prices to offset higher energy costs, allowing them to maintain profit growth.

During the course of the year, we moved the Portfolio to an underweighted position in consumer discretionary stocks. Over the past few years, consumer spending has remained strong as a result of tax cuts, tax rebates, low interest rates, and residential refinancing. We believed that the effects of these stimuli would wane, and that stock-price valuations for the group had risen to unsustainable levels. Consumer discretionary stocks within the Russell Index, however, delivered strong returns, and the Portfolio’s holdings within this area lagged those of the Index.

Seligman Common Stock Portfolio

 
 
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman Common Stock Portfolio posted a total return of 12.65%. During the same time period, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Average returned 7.78%, and the stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 10.87%.

Overall, 2004 was a good year for investors, although much of the stock market’s advance came in the fourth quarter. The stock market held on to the strong gains of 2003 and produced returns that are consistent with longer-term performance - high single- to low double-digit returns. Aside from a few ups and downs, the US economy remained strong, corporate profits grew at a healthy pace, and consumers continued to spend. That is not to say that investors were free from worry during 2004. Job creation remained sluggish throughout much of the year. Hostilities in Iraq also continued during the period. From March to June, there was a sharp increase in long-term interest rates (the 10-year Treasury yield rose nearly 0.75% during the quarter), which rattled the equity market. One reason for the increase in rates was the strong jobs report released in March, which created positive investor sentiment on the direction of the economy. Then, during the second half of the year, investors had concerns about slow economic growth and decelerating corporate profit growth. During the third quarter, there was a sharp increase in the price of oil and other commodity prices; this was due, in part, to the continued strong economic growth in China. As oil prices began to moderate at the end of October, the equity market started its year-end rally. A quick and decisive resolution to the US presidential election, after much uncertainty leading up to the event, also cheered investors.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), confident in the economic recovery, began a series of incremental interest-rate increases in June. In what were widely anticipated moves, the Fed raised the short-term federal funds rate on five occasions during 2004, for a total increase of 1.25%. Short-term interest rates, which had started the year at 1.00%, ended the year at 2.25%. Despite second-quarter volatility, long-term rates, as measured by the 10-year Treasury, ended the year little changed. The US dollar weakened in comparison to other major currencies, particularly in the fourth quarter. Concerns about the US current account deficit and budget deficit played a role in the dollar’s decline.

In 2004 the Portfolio performed well both on an absolute basis and relative to the benchmark S&P 500 Index. The stock market favored “old economy” sectors such as energy, industrials, materials, and utilities during the year. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks, and investors paid more attention to dividend-paying stocks. The Portfolio continued to pursue its strategy of paying close attention to company fundamentals and valuation, and was able to take advantage of these market themes.
 
On an absolute basis, energy and utilities were the Portfolio’s strongest-performing sectors. The Portfolio’s largest sector weightings were in financials, information technology, and health care. Stock selection in the financials sector was a slight negative in terms of performance relative to the S&P 500. The Portfolio was somewhat overweighted in the information technology sector, which was among the market’s weaker-performing sectors. This overweighting detracted slightly from relative investment results, but the Portfolio’s technology holdings as a whole performed better than those of the benchmark. Industrials stocks performed strongly in 2004, and the Portfolio’s good stock selection in this area was a major positive contributor to relative investment results; the Portfolio’s industrial conglomerate holdings performed especially well. Given the run-up in oil prices during the year, the Portfolio’s overweighting in the energy sector boosted both relative and absolute investment results. Health care was the S&P 500’s worst-performing sector during 2004, but because of good stock selection, the Portfolio’s health care holdings performed well and were additive to relative investment results.

Performance and Portfolio Overview

Seligman Communications and Information Portfolio

 
 

For the year ended December 31, 2004, Class 1 shares of Seligman Communications and Information Portfolio posted a total return of 11.19%. During the same time period, the Goldman Sachs Technology Indexes returned 2.91%, the Portfolio’s peers, as measured by the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Average, returned 3.97%, and the broader stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 10.87%.

Technology stocks struggled for most of the year before rallying strongly in the fourth quarter. Stock prices had been kept in check by rising oil prices, a close and uncertain US presidential election, and passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which imposed a spate of reforms and new regulations in reaction to past accounting abuses. With respect to Sarbanes-Oxley, it was uncertain whether the extra expenses associated with compliance would negatively impact spending on technology.

The fourth quarter, however, saw a sharp turnaround. Earnings reported by technology companies for the third quarter of 2004 were strong, particularly in software. It also became clear that many companies had factored Sarbanes-Oxley expenses into their expectations, so there were very few negative third-quarter earnings surprises. In addition, consumer demand for cell phones and personal computers remained strong through year-end, alleviating fears that high oil prices would dampen consumer appetite for these products. Consumers also continued to purchase electronic gadgets of all kinds, particularly digital music players such as the Apple iPod. Finally, Internet usage and revenue remained robust, and Internet advertising, paid searches, and e-commerce delivered strong results through year-end.  We began 2004 with a cautious view regarding semiconductor stocks and semiconductor equipment stocks. These stocks were trading at multiples that were among the highest we’d ever seen for the group, and we were concerned that any negative news would significantly impact their lofty prices. In addition, many buyers of semiconductors, such as electronic systems companies, had large product inventories in anticipation of a robust environment and market-share gains.
 
While end-market demand was strong, it was unable to drain these inventories. Then, in the spring of 2004, the Chinese government ended their policy of easy credit for Chinese companies. This caused Chinese distributors, consumer electronics manufacturers, and cellular telephone assemblers to reduce purchases of electronic components, producing a significant and negative impact on worldwide semiconductor demand. Because semiconductor-chip production is a long process, typically taking 80 to 90 days, semiconductor manufacturers were unable to react quickly to this change in the market.

These difficulties became clear to us as early as June 2004. We grew increasingly cautious and increasingly limited exposure to the group. By year-end, the Portfolio was significantly underweighted in the industry, which is the largest industry weighting for the Goldman Sachs Technology Indexes and was also the worst-performing industry for the Index. This underweighting greatly benefited returns for the year, as did favorable and highly selective stock picking within the group.

The Portfolio’s largest sector weighting, and a significant overweighting relative to the Goldman Sachs Indexes, was software. We’ve favored these stocks for a long time because of what we believed were strong fundamentals for the group. The companies we owned had high recurring revenues, high profit margins and, we believed, attractive valuations. We have also felt that software has been a lower-risk subsector of technology because of its high switching costs and high training costs. In other words, once a company purchases a software package, they typically stick with it for a long time. Software was an area of outperformance for the technology industry, and the Portfolio also benefited from favorable stock selection within the group.

The Portfolio’s health care holdings, and its overweighting in this sector, also helped performance in 2004. The Portfolio has the flexibility to invest in non-traditional technology sectors, such as health care. However, the companies we pursue are closely tied to and dependent upon technology, such as those in the medical device and clinical lab equipment sectors. This typically keeps the Portfolio out of certain subsectors such as pharmaceuticals, which suffered during the year from numerous drug recalls and generic substitution issues. The areas of health care the Portfolio was invested in significantly outperformed and added greatly to the Portfolio’s absolute and relative returns.

Performance and Portfolio Overview
 
Seligman Communications and Information Portfolio (continued)

 

The Portfolio’s underweighting in hardware (computers and peripherals) and our underperformance in this area hurt relative returns. Apple Computer, which we sold early in the year, delivered excellent returns from which the Portfolio ultimately did not benefit. Also, the Portfolio’s largest holding in the group, Hewlett-Packard, delivered disappointing returns.
 
The Portfolio’s significant underweighting in communications equipment benefited returns as the sector continued to struggle with overcapacity and market saturation issues. The companies we did choose from the group solidly outperformed. We avoided wireline infrastructure companies and instead focused on the wireless handset sector, which experienced strong demand.

Performance and Portfolio Overview

Seligman Frontier Portfolio

 
 
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman Frontier Portfolio posted a total return of 13.63%. During the same time period, the Portfolio’s peers, as measured by the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Average, returned 10.65%, and the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 14.31%.
 
At the start of the year, the US economy was experiencing a meaningful acceleration in economic activity as a direct result of significant monetary and fiscal stimuli. US gross domestic product (GDP) growth picked up steam in the first calendar quarter of 2004, slowed down in the second quarter, then improved again in the third quarter of the year. Overall corporate profit growth slowed, but remained positive. Job growth continued to lag the relative strength in GDP growth, however. There was concern that the number of new jobs being created was insufficient to support the level of consumer spending necessary to sustain the expansion, though job growth appeared to be improving by the end of the period under review. Oil prices surged to more than $50 a barrel during the third quarter, causing concern among investors, but inflation was contained. Confident that the US economic recovery was on solid footing, the Federal Reserve Board raised the short-term federal funds rate on five occasions beginning in June, to 2.25%, for a total increase of 1.25%.

The stock market was volatile during the one-year period. Stocks advanced at the beginning of the Portfolio’s fiscal year, but in March equities suffered a broad correction, with nearly all sectors losing ground. The market also fell sharply in July. Investors ignored positive economic news and worried about the prospect of higher interest rates, higher oil prices, and a steady reduction in corporate earnings estimates. Toward the end of the one-year period, the market traded sideways in advance of the US presidential election, as many investors appeared to wait out the uncertainty on the sidelines. Most of the gains in equities came during the fourth quarter, aided by the quick resolution of the US presidential election and the moderation in oil prices to below $50 a barrel.

Shares of technology companies were particularly impacted by the market declines, as concerns about corporate spending and the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, elevated chip inventories, disappointing earnings reports, and reduced expectations for the balance of the year, all contributed to hurt these stocks.
 
The Portfolio’s best-performing sectors on an absolute basis during the period were energy, industrials, and financials. Oil prices rose dramatically during the past year, helping energy stocks post impressive gains. The Portfolio had a slight overweighting in the energy sector, which provided a boost to investment results. The Portfolio had a sizable overweighting in the industrials sector compared with the Russell 2000 Growth Index, and the Portfolio’s industrials holdings outperformed those of the Russell Index. The Portfolio’s investment in the industrials sector was split between commercial services companies, such as professional services stocks, and more traditional machinery and transportation companies. Higher energy prices may have restrained profits at some of these companies, but an overall improvement in manufacturing has resulted in increased demand and generally strong growth in this sector. Additionally, many industrials companies have successfully increased prices to offset higher energy costs. Despite a slight underweighting, good stock selection in the financial sector contributed positively to the Portfolio’s relative performance. The Portfolio’s best-performing stock was from the financial sector. Health care was also a strong performer for the Portfolio; the Portfolio’s outperformance in this sector was driven in large part by avoiding speculative biotechnology names, which declined over much of the third calendar quarter of 2004.
 
Sharp declines in the technology sector significantly hurt the Portfolio’s relative and absolute investment results during the year. The Portfolio maintained an underweighting in the information technology sector, but could not avoid being impacted by the sell-off in technology stocks. Two of the Portfolio’s worst-performing stocks were from the technology sector. The Portfolio’s stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector also hurt relative investment results, as the Portfolio’s holdings in this sector did not perform as strongly as those of the Russell benchmark. The Portfolio was slightly underweighted versus the benchmark in consumer discretionary stocks.

Performance and Portfolio Overview
 
Seligman Global Growth Portfolio


 
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman Global Growth Portfolio posted a strong total return of 17.31%. During the same time period, the Lipper Global Funds Average returned 13.84%, the Lipper Global Large-Cap Growth Funds Average returned 12.73%, the MSCI World Index returned 15.25%, and the MSCI World Growth Index returned 11.21%.
 
During 2004, global equity markets generally outperformed US equity markets. The advances within global markets were disparate, with value-oriented sectors such as energy, utilities, telecommunications services, industrials, and materials achieving returns ranging from 18% to 29%. The returns of more growth-oriented sectors such as health care and information technology were much lower, with the technology sector posting returns in the low-single digits.

Over the past twelve months, there was mounting evidence that a global economic recovery was taking hold. This recovery was accompanied by low inflation levels worldwide, with major central banks keeping interest rates low during the early part of 2004. As the year progressed, high oil and commodity prices began taking a toll on global economic activity. These rising prices resulted in a period of synchronized slowing in the major world economies. Further, to thwart inflationary pressures in the face of this economic slowdown, many countries began to tighten monetary and fiscal policies. Nowhere was this more evident than in the US economy where we saw the US Federal Reserve Board raise interest rates by a total of 1.25% on five occasions during 2004.

In managing the Portfolio, we focused on stock picking as the cornerstone of our growth investment philosophy. The Portfolio’s outperformance versus the MSCI World Index was primarily driven by strong stock selection within the information technology and health care sectors. Although these were the weakest-performing sectors of the benchmark, they were the strongest sectors of the Portfolio. The five largest contributors to the Portfolio’s absolute returns were all from these two sectors. The two largest contributors were an Irish biotechnology company, and a Canadian communications equipment company. Other top contributors to performance included a US computers and peripherals company, a Swedish communications equipment company, and a US software and services company. The Portfolio also benefited from its underweighting in the US during 2004 as the dollar fell against most foreign currencies.
 
Relative performance was offset somewhat by the Portfolio’s stock selection in energy, telecommunications services and industrials. Three of the largest detractors from absolute returns were a French communications equipment company, a US communications equipment company, and a US software and services company. The French communications and energy infrastructure company dramatically underperformed after reporting weak second quarter results, largely upon disappointment with cost cutting efforts.

Performance and Portfolio Overview
 
Seligman Global Smaller Companies Portfolio


 
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman Global Smaller Companies Portfolio posted a total return of 20.93%. During the same time period, the Citigroup Broad Market Less Than US $2 Billion Index returned 25.07%, the Citigroup EM Index World returned 28.74%, the Lipper Global Small-Cap Funds Average returned 19.65%, and the Lipper Global Small/Mid-Cap Core Funds Average returned 18.96%.
 
During the year under review, market returns were strongest in the smaller-cap ranges and value outperformed growth stocks. Non-US markets were quite strong, with particular strength in Emerging Markets and the Pacific Basin. With respect to sectors, energy stocks led the way, while the information technology and telecommunication services sectors were the weakest.

Over the past twelve months, there was mounting evidence that a global economic recovery was taking hold. This recovery was accompanied by low inflation levels worldwide, with major central banks keeping interest rates low during the early part of 2004. As the year progressed, high oil and commodity prices began taking a toll on global economic activity. These rising prices resulted in a period of synchronized slowing in the major world economies. Further, to thwart inflationary pressures in the face of this economic slowdown, many countries began to tighten monetary and fiscal policies. Nowhere was this more evident than in the US economy, where we saw the US Federal Reserve Board raise interest rates by a total of 1.25% on five occasions during 2004.

The Portfolio benefited from strong stock selection within the health care sector. Strong performers included a US health care provider and services company, a US health care equipment and supplies company, and two US biotechnology companies. The Portfolio remains overweighted in health care, as the biotech and genomics revolutions continue unabated and offer some very special and unique investment opportunities. Good stock selection and an overweighted allocation to the energy sector also contributed positively to the Portfolio’s performance during 2004. Energy stocks that aided performance included two US oil and gas companies, and a US energy company. The Portfolio remains overweighted in the energy sector. In the materials sector, good stock selection was partially offset by the Portfolio’s underweighting of this well-performing sector. A Canadian coal company was the best performing stock in the Portfolio.
 
On the negative side, the Portfolio was hurt by stock selection within the industrials sector, where weak performers included a French electrical equipment company, a US capital goods company, and a Greek construction and engineering firm. The Portfolio was also hurt by weak relative stock selection and an overweighted position within the information technology sector. Some of the weakest information technology performers in the Portfolio included three US semiconductors and semiconductor equipment companies, and a US computers and peripherals company. The Portfolio ended the year slightly underweighted in the industrials sector and overweighted in the information technology sector.

Performance and Portfolio Overview
Seligman Global Technology Portfolio


 
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Class 1 shares of Seligman Global Technology Portfolio posted a total return of 3.98%. During the same time period, the Lipper Global Funds Average returned 13.84%, the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Average returned 3.97%, and the MSCI World Index returned 15.25%.

The past year was a volatile period for technology investors, with technology shares experiencing both sharp declines and strong rallies. During the first several months of the year, the US economic recovery was picking up steam, with strong growth in gross domestic product (GDP), as well as encouraging reports regarding manufacturing and productivity. Performance for global technology stocks, particularly in the US, was relatively strong, and earnings expectations for global technology had improved. Moving into the second calendar quarter of 2004, however, the environment changed. With technology stocks leading the decline, equity indices fell despite an abundance of positive economic reports, including employment, earnings, and inflation data. This good news would typically have cheered investors and given them renewed confidence in the US economic recovery; instead, interest-rate hike fears trumped the good news. In May and June 2004, however, technology stocks rallied as strong earnings and economic news outweighed concerns about rising oil prices and rising interest rates. Gloom once again settled over the technology market in July and August, as both fundamental and macroeconomic factors — oil prices, rising interest rates, the war in Iraq, and indications of a slowing US economy — weighed on the market. Also, software earnings misses and concerns over forward guidance for many hardware-related companies drove share prices down. In the fourth quarter, market sentiment shifted yet again, with technology shares enjoying a strong rally as investors bargain hunted and shares rallied from their summer lows. Higher oil prices continued to put a drag on the global economy, but the market seemed to account for the lower growth expectations.

While the US economy showed signs of slowing, many overseas economies remained robust or improved. Japan’s recovery appeared solid, and China, while moderating, still enjoyed strong growth in GDP. Even Europe showed some indications of a rebound, as corporate spending in the region drove improvements in PC unit growth.

While the Portfolio’s relative performance was helped by good stock selection in the health care sector, relative performance was significantly hurt by declines in the information technology sector, which was the worst performing sector in the MSCI World Index. The MSCI World Index has roughly 12% invested in technology stocks, versus roughly 80% for the Portfolio. The Portfolio’s holdings within this sector, however, performed better than those of the MSCI benchmark during the year. In particular, holdings in systems software and application software companies were strong performers. US semiconductor companies were poor performers during the year and detracted from the Portfolio’s investment results, as did an application software holding. However, the Portfolio’s underweighted position in semiconductors helped to shield us somewhat from this area’s sharp declines. By sector, the Portfolio’s health care holdings performed well, particularly the lab stocks and health care equipment and supplies companies, while stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector negatively impacted results.

By region, the majority of the Portfolio’s investments are in US securities, and the Portfolio had a significant overweighting in US securities versus the MSCI World Index. However, the Portfolio’s US holdings did not perform as well overall as those of the benchmark, negatively impacting relative results. During the year, the value of the US dollar fell against other major currencies, negatively impacting the Portfolio’s relative returns.

Stock selection in Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea hurt investment results. The Portfolio’s Taiwan holdings were hurt as pricing pressures from large customers weighed on Taiwanese manufacturing shares. The Portfolio’s holdings in India and Israel performed positively for the year.

Seligman Portfolios, Inc.
 
Performance and Portfolio Overview
Seligman High-Yield Bond Portfolio

 
 
 
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman High-Yield Bond Portfolio posted a total return of 7.61%. During the same time period, the Citigroup US High-Yield Market Index returned 10.79%, and the Lipper High Current Yield Funds Average returned 9.93%.

Solid economic growth, improved business conditions, and contained inflation helped the high-yield market and the Portfolio deliver positive returns in 2004. A broad market sell-off in the first half of the year was followed by a general market recovery in the second half. The Portfolio lost ground during the sell-off early in the year as high new issue supply, high energy prices, and election uncertainty added to investor unease. The recovery took place even as the good economic news prompted the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) to begin increasing the fed funds rate in June.

The US economy continued to expand in 2004, posting four quarters of solid economic growth. Improved corporate profits and healthy cash balances allowed many companies to de-leverage their balance sheets and increase dividend payouts. The Fed, convinced that the economic recovery was on sound footing, raised the short-term federal funds rate from 1.00% to 2.25% during the course of the year. Higher short-term rates were not accompanied by higher rates across the yield curve, with intermediate-term interest rates finishing the year largely unchanged. Inflation remained under control despite a significant increase in energy prices during the year and a decline in the dollar against the major foreign currencies.

After a slow start, high-yield bonds performed well in 2004, particularly in the second half of the year, though returns were not as strong as those posted in 2003. The high-yield market benefited from several factors, including investors’ increased appetite for risk, low corporate default rates, and a search for increased income in a low rate environment. Both supply and demand for high-yield bonds increased during the year, with demand driven by institutional investors. Yield spreads, the difference in high-yield bond yields compared to Treasury yields, narrowed significantly in 2004. Undeterred by tightening yield spreads, high-yield bonds rallied toward year-end even as Treasury yields moved higher.

Our investment strategy during the year included two primary investment themes — one to take advantage of the economic recovery, and the other to take advantage of anticipated interest-rate movements. The Portfolio entered the year with a tilt toward economically sensitive sectors (such as specialty chemicals and metals and mining) and lower-quality CCC-rated bonds, anticipating some follow-through on the economic expansion that took place in 2003. While the economy and corporate earnings showed continued growth in early 2004, the high-yield market came under selling pressure from heavy new issue supply and higher energy prices, causing the Portfolio’s value to decline. By mid-year, the Portfolio adopted a more conservative posture and shorter duration as it became clear the Fed was about to shift policy from an accommodative stance to a more neutral monetary policy. The Fed went on to raise short-term rates at five consecutive meetings starting on June 30th. However, interest rates for intermediate bonds did not follow the fed funds rate higher, and our move to a shorter duration was not rewarded, causing the Portfolio to lag its benchmark index. The Portfolio’s exposure to economically sensitive sectors and lower-rated holdings helped offset some of the drag from the Portfolio’s short duration as the high-yield market continued to climb higher into year-end. The Portfolio’s performance was also helped by its investment in certain wireless telecommunications companies that outperformed the overall market. Overall, the Portfolio’s defensive stance kept the Portfolio from fully participating in the high-yield market once it began to move higher, while its exposure to select cyclical industry debt was a positive contributor to the Portfolio’s return in 2004.

Performance and Portfolio Overview
 

Seligman Income and Growth Portfolio


 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman Income and Growth Portfolio posted a total return of 7.88%. During the same time period, the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index returned 4.19%, the Lipper Income Funds Average returned 7.98%, and the S&P 500 Index returned 10.87%.

Overall, 2004 was a good year for investors, although much of the stock market’s advance came in the fourth quarter. The stock market held on to the strong gains of 2003 and produced returns that are consistent with longer-term performance - high single- to low double-digit returns. Aside from a few ups and downs, the US economy remained strong, corporate profits grew at a healthy pace, and consumers continued to spend. That is not to say that investors were free from worry during 2004. Job creation remained sluggish throughout much of the year. Hostilities in Iraq also continued during the period. From March to June, there was a sharp increase in long-term interest rates (the 10-year Treasury yield rose nearly 0.75% during the quarter), which rattled the equity market. One reason for the increase in rates was the strong jobs report released in March, which created positive investor sentiment on the direction of the economy. Then, during the second half of the year, investors had concerns about slow economic growth and decelerating corporate profit growth. During the third quarter, there was a sharp increase in the price of oil and other commodity prices; this was due, in part, to the continued strong economic growth in China. As oil prices began to moderate at the end of October, the equity market started its year-end rally. A quick and decisive resolution to the US presidential election, after much uncertainty leading up to the event, also buoyed investors.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), confident in the economic recovery, began a series of incremental interest-rate increases in June. In what were widely anticipated moves, the Fed raised the short-term federal funds rate on five occasions during 2004, for a total increase of 1.25%. Short-term interest rates, which had started the year at 1.00%, ended the year at 2.25%. Despite second-quarter volatility, long-term rates, as measured by the 10-year Treasury, ended the year little changed. Corporate bonds performed well again in 2004, particularly lower-quality issues, defying expectations given their strength in 2003. The US dollar weakened in comparison to other major currencies, particularly in the fourth quarter. Concerns about the US current account deficit and budget deficit played a role in the dollar’s decline.

The Portfolio was roughly 65% invested in stocks and 35% invested in fixed income at year-end. The stock market favored “old economy” sectors such as energy, industrials, materials, and utilities during the year. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks, and investors paid more attention to dividend-paying stocks. The Portfolio continued to pursue its strategy of paying close attention to company fundamentals and valuation, and was able to take advantage of these market themes.

On an absolute basis, energy and utilities were the Portfolio’s strongest-performing equity sectors. The Portfolio’s largest sector weightings were in financials, information technology, and health care. Stock selection in the financials sector was a negative in terms of performance relative to the S&P 500. The Portfolio was somewhat overweighted in the information technology sector, which was among the market’s weaker-performing sectors. This overweighting detracted slightly from relative investment results, but the Portfolio’s technology holdings as a whole performed better than those of the benchmark. Industrials stocks performed strongly in 2004, and the Portfolio’s good stock selection in this area was a major positive contributor to relative investment results; the Portfolio’s industrial conglomerate holdings performed especially well. Given the run-up in oil prices during the year, the Portfolio’s overweighting in the energy sector boosted both relative and absolute investment results. Health care was the S&P 500’s worst-performing sector during 2004, but because of good stock selection, the Portfolio’s health care holdings performed well and were additive to relative investment results.

During 2004, the fixed-income portion of the Portfolio was positioned defensively with respect to interest rates and credit quality. The Portfolio’s shorter duration negatively impacted investment results when, atypically, long-term rates fell after the Fed began to raise short-term rates. During this period, long-term bonds outperformed shorter-term holdings. Relative performance was also hurt by our underweighting in corporate bonds, specifically our underweighting in lower-quality corporates. The Portfolio had less exposure to corporate bonds than did the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index, and the Portfolio’s holdings were higher-quality. However, the market rewarded risk more than we expected.

Performance and Portfolio Overview
 

Seligman International Growth Portfolio


 
 
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman International Growth Portfolio posted a strong total return of 24.19%. During the same time period, the Lipper International Funds Average returned 18.04%, the Lipper International Multi-Cap Growth Funds Average returned 16.64%, and the MSCI EAFE Index returned 20.70%.
 
During 2004, international equity markets outperformed US equity markets. Most sectors advanced strongly, with only the technology and health care sectors lagging behind. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks, both internationally and in the US.
 
Over the past twelve months, there was mounting evidence that a global economic recovery was taking hold. This recovery was accompanied by low inflation levels worldwide, with major central banks keeping interest rates low during the early part of 2004. As the year progressed, high oil and commodity prices began taking a toll on global economic activity. These rising prices resulted in a period of synchronized slowing in the major world economies. Further, to thwart inflationary pressures in the face of this economic slowdown, many countries began to tighten monetary and fiscal policies. Nowhere was this more evident than in the US economy, where we saw the US Federal Reserve Board raise interest rates by a total of 1.25% on five occasions during the year.
 
The Portfolio’s outperformance versus the benchmark was driven by strong stock selection within the health care and information technology sectors. Although the returns of these sectors in the benchmark were the lowest of any sectors, the returns of the Portfolio’s technology and health care holdings were the two highest. The three largest contributors to the Portfolio’s absolute return were all from these two sectors: an Irish biotechnology company, a Canadian communications equipment company, and a Finnish communications equipment company.

Relative outperformance was offset somewhat by the Portfolio’s weak stock selection in the industrials and telecommunications services sectors, as well as by an underweighted position in the strong-performing utilities sector. Three of the largest detractors from absolute returns were a French capital goods company, a German financial company, and a French information technology company.

Seligman Portfolios, Inc.
 
Performance and Portfolio Overview
 
Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income Portfolio


 
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income Portfolio posted a total return of 2.41%. During the same time period, the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index returned 3.48% and the Lipper Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated Average returned 5.30%. At the end of 2003, the bond market had traded off dramatically, particularly 10-year Treasury bonds, which saw their yields rise by 1.00%. This past year was much less volatile, with spreads tight and bonds generally trading within a narrow range. The bond market was slow from the standpoint of issuance and secondary trading. Corporate issuance was light, and this dampened market activity in general. The decrease in issuance is due to the fact that in 2003 we had seen interest rates at 40-year lows; in general, those who wanted to issue bonds to take advantage of lower rates had already done so.

US economic growth was robust in the first quarter of 2004, then appeared to slow somewhat in the second quarter. Job growth continued to lag the relative strength in gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Oil prices surged to more than $50 a barrel in the third quarter, causing concern among investors, but inflation remained low (which tends to be positive for long-term interest rates). Oil prices moderated in the fourth quarter. The Federal Reserve Board raised the short-term federal funds rate on five occasions beginning in June, for a total increase of 1.25%. Given the Fed’s moves, we had expected higher rates across the yield curve, often referred to as a bear flattening. Surprisingly, however, long-term bonds rallied, and what we witnessed was a bull flattening in which short-term rates rose and yields on long-term bonds declined. We believe there is no fundamental reason for long-term rates to move as low as they did, and we believe the market was ignoring economic fundamentals. In our view, some of the factors contributing to the rally in long-term rates included: higher oil prices, low inflation, and an abundance of cash coming in from foreign investors.

Corporate bonds had performed strongly beginning in late 2002 and throughout most of 2003, and it seemed to us unlikely that they would repeat this strength in 2004. However, while corporate bonds did not perform as well as they had during the previous year, they did perform better than expected, particularly the lower-quality, riskier issues.
 
The Portfolio had come into 2004 with a defensive positioning in light of strengthening economic indicators and an improving geopolitical environment. At that time we anticipated that the yield curve would remain relatively flat until the Federal Reserve became active and began raising interest rates. The Portfolio went from a long to a neutral to a short duration exposure. Duration is the average amount of time it takes to receive interest and principal on a bond. It is a measure of sensitivity to changing interest rates. The longer the duration, typically the more sensitive the portfolio is to changing interest rates. We avoided Treasuries because we thought that any increase in interest rates would cause these bonds to lose principal value. We had moved out of corporate bonds somewhat, given the fact that they had performed so well in 2003 and the fact that they were richly valued. Instead, the Portfolio increased its exposure to US government agency issues and to mortgage-backed securities, where we believed we could find more value. In the mortgage sector, we bought very high-quality liquid pass-throughs issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We upgraded the Portfolio’s corporate credit quality, focusing on sectors such as financials and industrials. We also made a move from fixed-rate to floating-rate notes. By and large, this is how the Portfolio was positioned throughout 2004.
 
As rates rallied in the second quarter of 2004, the Portfolio continued to be defensively positioned with a shorter duration than the Lehman Index. This had a negative impact on the Portfolio’s relative performance when, atypically, long-term rates fell after the Fed began to raise short-term rates. During this period, long-term bonds outperformed shorter-term holdings. Relative performance was also hurt by our underweighting in corporate bonds, specifically our underweighting in lower-quality corporates. The Portfolio had less exposure to corporate bonds than did the Lehman Index, and the Portfolio’s holdings were higher-quality. However, the market rewarded risk more than we expected.

On the other hand, the Portfolio’s exposure to mortgages helped performance, as this added yield. The flattening of the yield curve (i.e., short-term rates rising while long-term rates rise less or even fall) also helped the Portfolio in this regard. By owning floating rate notes, our coupons (interest payments) have moved higher in conjunction with short-term rates.

Performance and Portfolio Overview
 
Seligman Large-Cap Growth Portfolio


 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman Large-Cap Growth Portfolio posted a total return of 5.71%. During the same time period, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Average returned 7.78%, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Average returned 7.18%, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 6.30%.
 
Returns for US equity markets were essentially flat for most of the year, with gains restrained by soaring energy prices, a close US presidential race, and concerns about rising interest rates. For most of the year, growth stocks sharply underperformed value stocks, particularly among larger companies. Technology stocks were further hampered in the third quarter by some disappointing earnings announcements delivered within the software industry. The fourth quarter, however, saw a strong and broad market rally, which was driven, we believe, by a sharp decline in oil prices at the end of October, and was given a further boost by a quick resolution to the presidential election in November. The year ended with strong gains for US stocks as a whole.

The Portfolio maintained heavy technology exposure during the year, and at year-end it represented the Portfolio’s largest sector weighting. While technology stocks did rally in the fourth quarter on upbeat earnings announcements and increased merger activity, it was the worst-performing sector within the Russell Index for the year, and the Portfolio’s overweighting in this sector detracted from the Portfolio’s returns. However, the technology stocks the Portfolio owned significantly outperformed the technology sector of the Russell Index, allowing this sector to make a positive contribution to the Portfolio’s relative returns for the year.

The Portfolio’s second-largest sector weighting was health care, and the Portfolio was overweighted in this sector as well. Large-cap health care stocks, as a group, delivered relatively weak returns during the year, dragged down by revelations that certain widely used pain relievers present long-term risks to patients.  While the Portfolio’s overweighting in the group did negatively impact relative returns, the health care stocks the Portfolio held outperformed large-cap health care stocks as a whole. In the fourth quarter, these stocks benefited from the reelection of President Bush, as many believed the President will provide a favorable legislative environment for these companies.
 
During the course of the year, we moved the Portfolio to an underweighted position in consumer stocks. Over the past few years, consumer spending has remained strong as a result of tax cuts, tax rebates, low interest rates, and residential refinancing. We believed that the effects of these stimuli would wane, and that stock-price valuations for the group had risen to unsustainable levels. Consumer discretionary stocks within the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Russell Index”) delivered strong returns, but the Portfolio’s holdings within this area underperformed. Consumer staples stocks were poor performers as a whole, and the Portfolio’s holdings here lagged those of the Index.
 
During the year, we believed the economy would continue to strengthen and thus overweighted stocks in the industrials sector, which tend to benefit from increased economic activity. This overweighting helped relative returns since the sector was a strong performer within the large-cap growth universe. In addition, the industrials stocks within the Portfolio were relative outperformers, further boosting the Portfolio’s returns relative to the Russell Index. The Portfolio’s holdings in the group were split among business services companies and more traditional manufacturing companies. These companies have experienced generally strong growth and many have successfully increased prices to offset higher energy costs, allowing them to maintain profit growth.

Performance and Portfolio Overview
 

Seligman Large-Cap Value Portfolio


 
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman Large-Cap Value Portfolio posted a total return of 16.25%. During the same time period, the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Average returned 11.93%, the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Average returned 14.39%, the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 16.49%, and the S&P 500 Index returned 10.87%.
 
In 2004, we saw a continuation of economic growth in the US economy. Corporations enjoyed record profit margins and record earnings growth rates. First-quarter earnings were up over 25% for S&P 500 companies, and this was repeated in the second quarter. Companies have been successful in controlling costs, in many cases cutting expenses to the bone, and this contributed to the record earnings. Confident that the economic recovery was on solid footing, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates on five occasions in 2004, for a total increase of 1.25%.  At the same time, other economic indicators such as job growth remained weak and the US dollar continued its slide against other major currencies. Investors were further worried by a significant increase in oil prices. Inflation, however, remained in check despite the spike in oil.

Risk aversion seems to have been a stock market theme in 2004. The market traded sideways during the first three quarters of the year, as many investors chose to wait out the uncertainty on the sidelines. Most of the gains in equities came during the fourth quarter, aided by the quick resolution of the US presidential election and the moderation in oil prices to below $50 a barrel. Investors continued to favor value stocks over growth stocks in 2004, and the market continued to reward high-quality stocks over those stocks perceived to be riskier.

As it did in 2003, the Portfolio had a pro-cyclical tilt during 2004, and overall Portfolio performance benefited as a result. The Portfolio’s investment strategy focused mainly on: companies with excess cash and strong balance sheets; companies able and willing to raise their dividends; and late-economic-cycle companies, as opposed to early-cycle.

The Portfolio’s performance during 2004 was strong on an absolute basis. Relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Russell Index”), the Portfolio underperformed slightly. The Portfolio’s largest sector concentration was in financials, although the Portfolio was underweighted versus the Russell benchmark. While the financials sector was a positive performer, stock selection here detracted from the Portfolio’s relative performance. Industrials and materials represented the Portfolio’s second- and third-largest sector weightings, respectively, and the Portfolio was overweighted versus the Russell Index in both areas. The industrials and materials sectors both posted gains in 2004, and the Portfolio’s returns here were about even with those of the Russell Index.

The largest positive contributor to the Portfolio’s relative performance came from the energy sector. The Portfolio maintained an underweighting in this sector, but because of good stock selection the Portfolio posted exceptionally strong returns in the sector. With the run-up in commodity prices during the year, oil and gas companies were strong beneficiaries. Strong stock selection in the utilities sector also boosted the Portfolio’s absolute and relative performance. The consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors also boosted the Portfolio’s relative investment results; the Portfolio’s holdings in a large food and staples wholesaler and a large multiline retailer performed especially well during the year.

Health care was a relatively weak-performing sector during the year. While the Portfolio’s health care holdings performed better than those of the overall market, the Portfolio’s relative investment results were hurt by its overweighting in the sector and by the poor performance of one of its pharmaceutical holdings. Stock selection in the information technology sector hurt the Portfolio’s relative results. In particular, a communications equipment holding was a poor performer.

Performance and Portfolio Overview
 
Seligman Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio


 
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2004, Class 1 shares of Seligman Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio posted a total return of 19.95%. During the same time period, the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Average returned 18.34%, the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Average returned 20.86%, and the Russell 2000 Value Index returned 22.25%.
 
2004 will be remembered as the sixth straight year of outperformance for small-capitalization stocks as compared to their large-cap brethren. 2004 was also the fourth year in the last five in which value stocks outperformed growth stocks within the small-cap arena. In short, it has been an extremely favorable environment for small-cap value investors. There are several reasons behind this. Small companies historically have grown their earnings at a faster rate than larger companies. Even more important, however, is the fact that the Federal Reserve Board’s stimulative monetary policy fostered an environment supporting reasonable economic growth and low interest rates, both of which are extremely important in driving positive investor sentiment. Further, with the passage of each additional quarter of better-than-average returns, small-cap stocks have attracted the interest of a wider audience, notably those investors and pension plan trustees that are typically more conservative in nature.

At year-end, the Portfolio’s largest sector weightings were in the industrials, materials, and information technology sectors. Both the industrials and materials sectors performed strongly during the year, boosting the Portfolio’s absolute and relative investment results. Relative to the Russell Index, the Portfolio’s results were aided by our overweighting in the materials sector, as well as good stock selection here (the Portfolio’s chemical companies performed especially well). Good stock selection in the industrials sector also positively impacted relative returns. The Portfolio’s consumer discretionary holdings underperformed those of the Russell Index, detracting from relative performance. The information technology sector was the largest drag on the Portfolio’s relative performance; the Portfolio was overweighted here and was hurt by stock selection.

Our strategy for managing the Portfolio was to emphasize companies with the ability to deliver earnings growth and positive earnings surprises, as well as those companies that have the cash flow to supplement this growth by returning excess cash to shareholders in whatever manner they determine to be prudent, i.e., acquisition, share buybacks, or dividends. The Portfolio’s investments have been focused in the areas of the economy most able to take advantage of trends such as the falling US dollar, increased capital expenditures, rising commodity prices, and the return of pricing power. We de-emphasized those companies most dependent on consumer spending; we believe that rising energy and health care costs, coupled with tepid job and income growth, will not provide an easy environment for consumers and will not provide for many upside surprises. Consumers’ balance sheets improved in 2004, driven by a strong increase in home values. Additionally, in recognition of the stronger results for small-cap stocks in general and the stock market’s appetite for risk, we have allowed the average market capitalization of the portfolio to increase, providing a bit more investment flexibility and liquidity.
 
Returns in the Portfolio were driven by a focus on later-cycle industrial and materials stocks that have been able to take advantage of improving pricing power and capital spending budgets. These stocks experienced significant price appreciation in 2004. Many of these stocks benefited from improved pricing power in many industries, including coal, brass, soybeans, ethylene, specialty chemicals, trucking services and international logistics.
 
One of the Portfolio’s largest holdings was a household durables company whose stock price has risen ten-fold since we acquired it, and which we continue to favor. We feel that this company has competed exceptionally well with its German peers in establishing a large and profitable niche in a growing list of automobile platforms in the world.

Small-Cap Growth Funds is an average of funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 250% of the dollar-weighted median of the smallest 500 of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index ($3.4 billion as of December 31, 2004). Small-cap growth funds typically have an above-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

Small-Cap Value Funds is an average of funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 250% of the dollar-weighted median of the smallest 500 of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index ($3.4 billion as of December 31, 2004). Small-cap value funds typically have a below-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

Understanding and Comparing
Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As an investor in a Portfolio of the Fund, you incur ongoing expenses, such as management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The information below is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio and to compare them with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses of investing in a Portfolio only and do not reflect any costs that may be charged by insurance compainies’ separate accounts or by any pension or retirement plan. Therefore, the tables are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help you to determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. In addition, if these costs were included, your total expenses would have been higher.
 

The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of July 1, 2004 and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2004.

Understanding and Comparing Your Portfolio’s Expenses

(Continued from page 32.)
 

 
Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual expenses and actual account values. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at the beginning of the period by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for the share class of the Portfolio that you own to estimate the expenses that you paid on your account during the period.
 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
 
The table below also provides information about hypothetical expenses and hypothetical account values based on the actual expense ratios of each Portfolio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of any Portfolio. The hypothetical expenses and account values may not be used to estimate the ending account value or the actual expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing expenses of investing in a Portfolio and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

*
Expenses of Class 2 shares differ from the expenses of Class 1 shares due to the differences in 12b-1 fees paid. See the Fund’s prospectus for a description of each share class and its expenses.
**
Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio based on actual expenses for the period July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (number of days in the period).
The Manager, at its discretion, has agreed to reimburse expenses, other than management and 12b-1 fees, that exceed a certain rate per annum of the average daily net assets of certain Portfolios. Absent such reimbursement, the expense ratios and expenses paid for the period would have been higher. See note 5 to the Financial Statements on pages 74 and 75 of this report for additional information.

_____________

   *
Non-income producing security.
  ** Deferred-interest debentures pay no interest for a stipulated number of years, after which they pay the indicated coupon rate.
  ø Warrants attached. See separate holding in the Portfolios of Investments.
  † The security may be offered and sold only to “qualified institutional buyers” under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
†† Investments in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to principal paydowns. As a result of prepayments from refinancing or satisfaction of the underlying instruments, the average life may be less than the original maturity. This in turn may impact the ultimate yield realized from these investments.

Seligman Portfolios, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
 

 
1.
Organization — Seligman Portfolios, Inc. (the “Fund”) is an open-end diversified management investment company consisting of 15 separate portfolios (the “Portfolios”): Seligman Capital Portfolio (“Capital Portfolio”), Seligman Cash Management Portfolio (“Cash Management Portfolio”), Seligman Common Stock Portfolio (“Common Stock Portfolio”), Seligman Communications and Information Portfolio (“Communications and Information Portfolio”), Seligman Frontier Portfolio (“Frontier Portfolio”), Seligman Global Growth Portfolio (“Global Growth Portfolio”), Seligman Global Smaller Companies Portfolio (“Global Smaller Companies Portfolio”), Seligman Global Technology Portfolio (“Global Technology Portfolio”), Seligman High-Yield Bond Portfolio (“High-Yield Bond Portfolio”), Seligman Income and Growth Portfolio (“Income and Growth Portfolio”), Seligman International Growth Portfolio (“International Growth Portfolio”), Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income Portfolio (“Investment Grade Portfolio”), Seligman Large-Cap Growth Portfolio (“Large-Cap Growth Portfolio”), Seligman Large-Cap Value Portfolio (“Large-Cap Value Portfolio”), and Seligman Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio, formerly Seligman Small-Cap Value Portfolio (“Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio”), each designed to meet different investment goals. Shares of the Fund are provided as an investment medium for variable annuity and life insurance separate accounts offered by various insurance companies. Class 2 shares of the Communications and Information Portfolio are also offered to qualified pension or retirement plans.

2.
Multiple Classes of Shares — The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class 1 shares do not pay a distribution and service fee (“12b-1 fee”). Class 2 shares pay an annual 12b-1 fee of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets. The two classes of shares represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, have the same rights, and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate class-specific expenses, and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required.

3.
Significant Accounting Policies — The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States (“US”) generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:


a.
Security Valuation — Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Securities traded on an exchange are valued at the last sales price on the primary exchange or market on which they are traded. Securities not listed on an exchange or security market, or securities for which there is no last sales price, are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices or by independent pricing services based on bid prices which consider such factors as coupons, maturities, credit ratings, liquidity, specific terms and features, and the US Treasury yield curve, or are valued by J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (the “Manager”) based on quotations provided by primary market makers in such securities. Notwithstanding these valuation methods, certain Portfolios may adjust the value of securities as described below in order to reflect the fair value of such securities.
 
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the US close prior to the close of the NYSE, and therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after the local market close but before the close of the NYSE. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund has authorized the use of a third-party service on a regular basis to recommend adjustments to the local closing prices of certain foreign equity securities. The adjustments are based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship between the price movements of a security and independent variables such as US market movements, sector movements, movements in the ADR of a security (if any), and movements in country or regional exchange-traded funds or futures contracts. The factors used vary with each security, depending on which factors have been most important historically.
 
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board. This can occur in the event of, among other things, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, market disruptions, intra-day trading halts and extreme market volatility in the US markets.
 
Short-term holdings that mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations. Short-term holdings maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost.
 
Investments held by the Cash Management Portfolio are generally valued using the amortized cost method which approximates fair value. Investments of certain other funds in the Seligman Group of Investment Companies purchased to offset the Cash Management Portfolio’s liability for deferred directors’ fees are valued at net asset values.
 
 
b.
Foreign Securities — The Portfolios may invest up to 10% of their total assets in foreign securities (except Global Growth Portfolio, Global Smaller Companies Portfolio, Global Technology Portfolio, and International Growth Portfolio (together, the “Seligman International Portfolios”), which may invest up to 100% of their total assets in foreign securities). Investments in foreign securities will primarily be traded in foreign currencies, and the Portfolios may temporarily hold funds in foreign currencies. The Portfolios may also invest in US dollar-denominated American Depositary Receipts (“ADR”), American Depositary Shares (“ADS”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDR”), Fiduciary Depositary Receipts (“FDR”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDR”), and Global Depositary Shares (“GDS”).  ADR and ADS are issued by domestic banks or trust companies and evidence ownership of securities issued by foreign corporations. ADR and ADS are traded on United States exchanges or over-the-counter and are not included in the 10% limitation. EDR, FDR, GDR, and GDS are receipts similar to ADR and ADS and are typically issued by foreign banks or trust companies and traded in Europe. The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis:



72



Seligman Portfolios, Inc.
 
Notes to Financial Statements
 

 
(i)(ii)
market value of investment securities, other assets, and liabilities, at the daily rate of exchange as reported by a pricing service;
purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses, at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
 
The net asset values per share of Portfolios which invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also affect the value of dividends and interest earned, gains and losses realized on sales of securities, and net investment income and gains, if any, to be distributed to shareholders of the Portfolios. The rate of exchange between the US dollar and other currencies is determined by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange markets.
 
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and from the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios’ books, and the US dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of portfolio securities and other foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
 
The Seligman International Portfolios separate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held in the portfolios. Similarly, these Portfolios separate the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the period.
 
c.
Forward Currency Contracts The Seligman International Portfolios may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings, or other amounts receivable or payable in foreign currency. A forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Certain risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The contracts are valued daily at current or forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and forward currency contracts. The gain or loss, if any, arising from the difference between the settlement value of the forward contract and the closing of such contract, is included in net realized gain or loss from foreign currency transactions. For federal income tax purposes, certain open forward currency contracts are treated as sold during the fiscal year and any gains or losses are recognized immediately. As a result, the amount of income distributable to shareholders may vary from the amount recognized for financial reporting purposes.
 
d.
Options — Each Portfolio is authorized to write and purchase put and call options. When a Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolio is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires (or the Portfolio enters into a closing transaction), the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received). The Portfolio, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.
 
e.
Taxes — The Portfolios’ policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to Regulated Investment Companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable net income and net gain realized to shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for Federal income or excise taxes are required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest, and for certain countries, taxes on the sale of foreign securities have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolios’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
 
f.
Security Transactions and Related Investment Income — Investment transactions are recorded on trade dates. Identified cost of investments sold is used for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Portfolios amortize discount and premium on debt securities. Dividends receivable and payable are recorded on ex-dividend dates, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend dates may have passed are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the dividend.
 
g.
Multiple Class Allocations All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains or losses of a Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative value of shares of each class. Class-specific expenses, which include 12b-1 fees and any other items that are specifically attributable to a particular class, are charged directly to such class. For the year ended December 31, 2004, 12b-1 fees were the only class-specific expenses.
 
h.
Repurchase Agreements — The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements with commercial banks and with broker/dealers deemed to be creditworthy by the Manager. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the Portfolios’ custodians and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreements, must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the

repurchase price, plus accrued interest, at all times. Procedures have been established to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of the repurchase agreements’ underlying securities to ensure the existence of the proper level of collateral.
 

i. Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend dates.

Management Fee, Distribution Services, and Other Transactions — The Manager manages the affairs of the Fund and provides or arranges for the necessary personnel and facilities. The Manager’s fee, which is calculated daily and payable monthly, is equal to 0.40%, on an annual basis, of each of Capital, Cash Management, Common Stock, Income and Growth, and Investment Grade Portfolios’ average daily net assets; equal to 0.75%, on an annual basis, of each of Communications and Information and Frontier Portfolios’ average daily net assets; and equal to 0.50%, on an annual basis, of High-Yield Bond Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The Manager’s fee for the Global Technology Portfolio is equal to 1.00% per annum of the first $2 billion of average daily net assets, 0.95% per annum of the next $2 billion of average daily net assets, and 0.90% per annum in excess of $4 billion of average daily net assets. The Manager’s fee for the Large-Cap Growth Portfolio is equal to 0.70% per annum of the first $1 billion of average daily net assets, 0.65% per annum of the next $1 billion, and 0.60% per annum in excess of $2 billion of average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Manager’s fee for the Large-Cap Value Portfolio is equal to 0.80% per annum of the first $500 million of average daily net assets, 0.70% per annum of the next $500 million of average daily net assets, and 0.60% per annum in excess of $1 billion of average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Manager’s fee for the Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio is equal to 1.00% per annum of the first $500 million of average daily net assets, 0.90% per annum of the next $500 million of average daily net assets, and 0.80% per annum in excess of $1 billion of average daily net assets of the Portfolio.
 
Effective September 15, 2003, in connection with the engagement of a new subadviser, the Manager began advising Global Growth Portfolio, Global Smaller Companies Portfolio and International Growth Portfolio (the “Subadvised Portfolios”) under an interim management agreement. Under the interim management agreement, the annual management fee rate with respect to the Global Growth Portfolio and the International Growth Portfolio was changed to equal 1.00% on the first $50 million of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, 0.95% on the next $1 billion of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, and 0.90% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $1.05 billion. Also, under the interim management agreement, effective September 15, 2003, the annual management fee rate with respect to Global Smaller Companies Portfolio was changed to equal 1.00% of the first $100 million of that Portfolio’s average daily net assets, and 0.90% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $100 million. At a special meeting on December 4, 2003, shareholders of the Subadvised Portfolios approved a new management agreement that is substantially similar in all material respects to the interim management agreement. Such new management agreement became effective on December 5, 2003, and the interim management agreement terminated in accordance with its terms.

The Manager has agreed to reimburse expenses, other than management and 12b-1 fees, that exceed a certain rate per annum of the average daily net assets of the following Portfolios:

The amounts of these reimbursements, where applicable, for the year ended December 31, 2004, are disclosed in the Statements of Operations, and such amounts receivable from the Manager at December 31, 2004 are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
 
Effective September 15, 2003, under an interim subadvisory agreement, Wellington Management Company, LLP (the “Subadviser”), became Subadviser to the Subadvised Portfolios and is responsible for furnishing investment advice, research and assistance with respect to the Subadvised Portfolios. Under the interim subadvisory agreement, the Manager paid the Subadviser a subadvisory fee for each of the Subadvised Portfolios determined as follows: for Global Growth Portfolio and International Growth Portfolio, the Subadviser received 0.45% on the first $50 million of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets and 0.40% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $50 million; for Global Smaller Companies Portfolio, the Subadviser received 0.75% on the first $100 million of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets and 0.65% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $100 million. At a special meeting on December 4, 2003, shareholders of the Subadvised Portfolios approved a new subadvisory agreement that is substantially similar in all material aspects to the interim subadvisory agreement. Such new subadvisory agreement became effective on December 5, 2003, and the interim agreement terminated in accordance with its terms. Effective June 7, 2004, Wellington Management International Ltd., an affiliate of the Subadviser, began providing investment services for a portion of Global Smaller Companies Portfolio.
 
Compensation of all officers of the Fund, all directors of the Fund who are employees of the Manager, and all personnel of the Fund and the Manager is paid by the Manager. Seligman Advisors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Manager, acts as distributor of shares of the Fund.
 
Under a Rule 12b-1 plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the Fund with respect to Class 2 shares of each Portfolio, insurance companies or their affiliates can enter into agreements with the Distributor and receive 12b-1 fees of up to 0.25%, on an annual basis, of the average daily net assets of Class 2 shares attributable to the particular insurance company or qualified plan for providing, among other things, personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Such fees are paid quarterly by each Portfolio to Seligman Advisors pursuant to the Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2004, fees incurred under the Plan aggregated $12,323, or 0.25% per annum; $29,212, or 0.25% per annum; $3,249 or 0.15% per annum; and $50,082 or 0.19% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class 2 shares of Capital Portfolio, Communications and Information Portfolio, Global Technology Portfolio and Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio, respectively.
 
Certain officers and directors of the Fund are officers or directors of the Manager and the Distributor.
 
The Fund has a compensation arrangement under which directors who receive fees may elect to defer receiving such fees. Directors may elect to have their deferred fees accrue interest or earn a return based on the performance of the other funds in the Seligman Group of Investment Companies. The cost of such fees and earnings/loss accrued thereon is included in directors’ fees and expenses, and the accumulated balances at December 31, 2004, are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities. Deferred fees and related accrued earnings are not deductible by the Fund for federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid.

6.
Federal Tax Information — Certain components of income, expense and realized capital gain and loss are recognized at different times or have a different character for federal income tax purposes and for financial reporting purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net investment losses), they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value per share of the Fund. As a result of the differences described above, the treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of the distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, is the same for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, net realized short-term gain is treated as ordinary income. Further, the cost of investments also can differ for federal income tax purposes.
 
At December 31, 2004, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes for each Portfolio was as follows:

Portfolio
 
Tax Basis Cost
Capital
 
$13,713,312
Common Stock

Large-Cap Growth
 
2,160,259
Large-Cap Value
 
4,370,855
Smaller-Cap Value
 
228,259,223

The tax basis cost was greater than the cost for financial reporting purposes primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Seligman Portfolios, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
 
At December 31, 2004, the Portfolios had net capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes which are available for offset against future taxable net capital gains. The amounts were determined after adjustments for certain differences between financial reporting and tax purposes, such as wash sale losses. Accordingly, no capital gain distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders of these portfolios until net capital gains have been realized in excess of the available capital loss carryforwards. These loss carryforwards expire in amounts and fiscal years as follows:

Committed Line of Credit — All of the Portfolios, except the Cash Management Portfolio, are participants in a joint $425 million committed line of credit that is shared by substantially all open-end funds in the Seligman Group of Investment Companies. The directors have currently limited each Portfolio’s borrowings to 10% of its net assets. Borrowings pursuant to the credit facility are subject to interest at a rate equal to the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%. Each participating Portfolio incurs a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum on its share of the unused portion of the credit facility. The credit facility may be drawn upon only for temporary purposes and is subject to certain other customary restrictions. The credit facility commitment expires in June 2005, but is renewable annually with the consent of the participating banks.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio periodically borrowed from the credit facility. The average outstanding daily balance of bank loans (based on the number of days the loans were outstanding during the period) was $9,813,333, with a weighted average interest rate of 1.528%. The maximum borrowing outstanding during the period was $13,500,000.

Indemnification — In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would include future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

11.
Other Matters  — The Manager conducted an extensive internal review in response to developments regarding disruptive or illegal trading practices within the mutual fund industry. As of September 2003, the Manager had one arrangement that permitted frequent trading in the Seligman registered investment companies (“Seligman Funds”). This arrangement was in the process of being closed down by the Manager before the first proceedings relating to trading practices within the mutual fund industry were publicly announced. Based on a review of the Manager’s records for 2001 through 2003, the Manager identified three other arrangements that had permitted frequent trading in the Seligman Funds. All three had already been terminated prior to the end of September 2002. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the NASD and the Attorney General of the State of New York also are reviewing these matters.
 
The Manager also has reviewed its practice of placing some of the Seligman Funds’ orders to buy and sell portfolio securities with brokerage firms in recognition of their sales of Seligman Funds. At the time such orders were placed, this practice was permissible when done properly; however, the Manager believes that it may have violated applicable requirements for certain of such orders as a result of compensation arrangements the Manager had with certain brokerage firms. The Manager discontinued this practice entirely in October 2003. The Manager is confident that the execution of all such orders was consistent with its best execution obligations and that the Seligman Funds did not pay higher brokerage commissions than they would otherwise have paid for comparable transactions. The Manager has also responded fully to information requests from the SEC and the NASD relating to the Manager’s use of revenue sharing and fund portfolio brokerage commissions and will continue to provide additional information if, and as, requested.
 
The results of the Manager’s internal reviews were presented to the Independent Directors of the Seligman Funds. In order to resolve matters with the Independent Directors relating to the four arrangements that permitted frequent trading, which did not affect the Seligman Portfolios, Inc., the Manager has made payments to three funds and has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee with respect to another fund. In order to resolve matters with the Independent Directors with regard to portfolio brokerage commissions, in May 2004, the Manager made payments to each of twenty-four funds in an amount equal to the commissions paid by each such fund during the period from 1998 through 2003 to certain brokerage firms in recognition of sales of fund shares, including the following amounts paid to certain portfolios of Seligman Portfolios, Inc., which have been reported as Payments received from the Manager in the Statements of Operations:

Subsequent Event - Redemption of Portfolio Shares  — The Board has authorized the redemption of all outstanding shares of the Frontier Portfolio, Global Growth Portfolio, Global Smaller Companies Portfolio, High-Yield Bond Portfolio, Income and Growth Portfolio and Large-Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Redeeming Portfolios”) and the liquidation of the Redeeming Portfolios in accordance with the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation. A notice regarding such actions will be sent by the sponsoring insurance company to contract owners who beneficially own the Redeeming Portfolios. It is anticipated that the shares of the Redeeming Portfolios will be redeemed on or about May 31, 2005 (the “Redemption Date”). Prior to the Redemption Date, contract holders who have allocated a portion of their investments to a Redeeming Portfolio may allocate that portion of their investments to the other Portfolios that will continue to be offered by the variable annuity program in which they participate. Amounts not allocated to another Portfolio by the Redemption Date will automatically be allocated to the Fund’s Cash Management Portfolio or a similar money-market fund.

The tables below are intended to help you understand the financial performance of each Class of each Portfolio for the periods presented. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share that was held throughout the periods shown. Per share amounts are calculated using average shares outstanding. “Total return” shows the rate that you would have earned (or lost) on an investment in each Portfolio, assuming you reinvested all your dividends and capital gain distributions. Total returns do not reflect any administrative fees or asset-based sales charges that are associated with variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts, and are not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

 
The Directors and Shareholders,
Seligman Portfolios, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Seligman Portfolios, Inc. (comprising respectively, the Seligman Capital Portfolio, Seligman Cash Management Portfolio, Seligman Common Stock Portfolio, Seligman Communications and Information Portfolio, Seligman Frontier Portfolio, Seligman Global Growth Portfolio, Seligman Global Smaller Companies Portfolio, Seligman Global Technology Portfolio, Seligman High-Yield Bond Portfolio, Seligman Income and Growth Portfolio, Seligman International Growth Portfolio, Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income Portfolio, Seligman Large-Cap Growth Portfolio, Seligman Large-Cap Value Portfolio, and Seligman Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio (formerly, Seligman Small-Cap Value Portfolio), and collectively referred to as the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective portfolios constituting Seligman Portfolios, Inc. at December 31, 2004, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

As of December 31, 2004, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive and principal financial officers.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The registrant’s board of directors has determined that Mr. James N. Whitson, a member of its audit committee, is an audit committee financial expert. Mr. Whitson is “independent” as such term is defined in Form N-CSR.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

(a)-(d) Aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts for (i) limited review of the registrant’s semi-annual financial statements; and (ii) review of quarterly compliance procedures regarding diversification requirements of the registrant. Tax fees include amounts related to tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

(e)(1) The Audit Committee is required to preapprove audit and non-audit services performed for the registrant by the principal accountant in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the principal accountant’s independence. The Audit Committee also is required to preapprove certain non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and certain of the adviser’s affiliates that provide services directly related to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. Unless a type of service to be provided by the principal accountant has received preapproval, it will require specific preapproval by the Audit Committee.
  
The Audit Committee may delegate preapproval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated shall report any preapproval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances, preapproval of non-audit services of a de minimis amount is not required.

    (2) No services included in (b) - (d) above were approved pursuant to the waiver provisions of paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
 
(f) Not applicable.
 
(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $93,800 and $97,800, respectively.
 
(h) All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, the audit committee considered whether these services were compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
