Dear Contract Owner:

 
 

We are pleased to present the enclosed report for  Seligman  Portfolios,  Inc.  for  the  year ended  December  31,  2002.  Performance and portfolio information, as well as audited financial statements,  are  contained  in  the  pages  following  this letter.

 

The  past  year  was  highly  challenging  for  equity investors  as  the  major  stock  indices  recorded  their third consecutive annual loss, something that has not happened in the post-World War II era. Investor confidence was shaken by geopolitical uncertainty, worries about the strength of the economic recovery, accounting  scandals,  and  well-publicized  corporate  malfeasance. As in 2001, investors in US government and higher-quality  corporate  bonds  benefited  from  the flight to quality caused by volatility in the stock market.

 

While economic reports ultimately painted a brightening picture for the US during the year, a commensurate recovery  in  corporate  profits  did  not  occur  in  2002. Once the crisis of confidence brought on by corporate governance scandals abated, investor anxiety was fed by continued moribund corporate spending and worries  over  the  impact  of  a  protracted  military  engagement in the Middle East.

 

Despite the difficulties of the last year, we believe the US economy is improving and should expand moderately in 2003. The economy has posted several straight quarters of GDP growth, consumer spending is stable, and inflation remains benign. There are also encouraging signs coming out of the corporate sector, which was  the  economy's  weakest  link  in  the  recent  downturn. Corporate earnings are beginning to strengthen, companies  have  been  paying  off  debt,  and  capital spending  by  businesses  (excluding  telecommunications  and  utilities)  is  beginning  to  trend  upward. Additionally, there is broad consensus in Washington on the need for some sort of fiscal stimulus to spur job creation and help the economy recover from its current weakness.  While  the  ultimate  size  of  the  stimulus package  will  be  debated,  the  ultimate  impact  on  the capital markets should be positive.

 

We  are  mindful  that  there  are  risks  to  this  outlook, including the possibility of a prolonged war and/or new terror attacks, but we are encouraged by the government's emphasis on homeland security and the confrontation of terrorism. Over the long term, this should be positive for the capital markets.

 

After three straight years of negative stock market performance, investors are understandably frustrated, and some may be tempted to give up on stocks. However, we believe that, instead of losing faith, now is precisely the  time  to  maintain  or  increase  equity  investments. Historically, stocks have outpaced inflation and provided attractive returns over longer periods of time, and we  believe  stocks  will  continue  to  play  an  important role in a diversified portfolio of investments.

 

Thank  you  for  your  continued  support  of  Seligman Portfolios, Inc. We look forward to serving your investment needs for many years to come.

 

Respectfully,

Annual Performance Overview(unaudited)

 

 

The following charts compare a $10,000 hypothetical investment in Class 1 shares of each of the Portfolios of Seligman Portfolios, Inc. (with the exception of Seligman Cash Management Portfolio), for the 10-year period ended December 31, 2002, or since inception through December 31, 2002, if less than 10 years, to $10,000 hypothetical investments in the appropriate benchmark indices and averages for the same period. Calculations assume reinvestment of distributions. For those Portfolios that have issued Class 2 shares, the performances for Class 2 shares are not shown in the charts but are included in the tables of returns. The performance of Class 2 shares may be less than the performance of Class 1 shares, based on the differences in fees paid by each class and as a result of different inception dates. Accompanying each chart is a discussion of factors that affected the Portfolio during the past year.

 

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.

 

Seligman Capital Portfolio


2002 proved to be yet another dismal year for equity investors. While no area of the market was safe every sector delivered negative performance  growth stocks fared even worse. Investors pursued what they perceived to be the very safest of investments, with US Treasury securities topping the list, and shunned stocks whose prices depend heavily upon investor optimism for the future, particularly growth stocks.

 

As we headed into 2002, we believed the economy would stage a lasting recovery, and were thus hopeful for growth stocks, which typically do well in the early phases of recovery. We had expected corporations, whose spending has been sluggish, to lead the economy out of its mild recession with increased capital spending. We expected consumer strength, which had remained robust throughout the economic downturn, to weaken. Instead, corporate spending refused to budge, in spite of some improvements in corporate profits, though consumer spending showed surprising strength through the middle of 2002. In hindsight, we were early in our expectations for a recovery.

 

Seligman Capital Portfolio had a large weighting in health care, particularly pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, and these stocks performed poorly in 2002. Approvals for new drugs were held up, there were manufacturing problems, and patents were expiring on older drugs. We have increased the Portfolio's exposure in this area, however, because of attractive valuations, an anticipated improvement in the regulatory and legislative environment, and a full pipeline of new products.

 

The Portfolio's technology holdings (in particular computer software and services) also hurt overall performance in 2002, as technology was one of the worst-performing market sectors. Spending on equipment and software bottomed at the beginning of 2002, but has since been improving. Spending in this area is now growing at its fastest rate in three years, and we believe this growth will continue in 2003. Expectations for technology stocks have fallen to such low levels that any improvement in the earnings outlook for these companies should revive interest in the stocks.

 

We believe that an economic recovery is slowly taking place, and that industrial, rather than consumer, stocks will be the primary beneficiaries. Industrials represent a significant part of the Portfolio. We view the possibility of war in the Middle East as the primary obstacle to a stock market and economic rebound. If the Iraq conflict is resolved quickly, investors could see some improvement as early as the middle of 2003.

Seligman Common Stock Portfolio


In 2002, the Portfolio operated within a very negative environment characterized by a tense geopolitical situation, mixed news on the economy, and worries regarding corporate accounting practices. As a result, investor confidence was severely undermined, and 2002 was the third consecutive down year for the stock market. The market tended to move quickly in 2002, experiencing periods of sharp price movements, often not based on fundamentals. High-volatility, lower-quality stocks benefited during these periods. Investors have been waiting, so far in vain, for a rebound in corporate capital spending. Businesses continue to be cautious regarding expense budgets. In some industries, prices have fallen so low that many companies are finding profits to be unattainable or seriously squeezed. GDP has expanded for five consecutive quarters, but much of that reflects the strength of the consumer rather than strong business spending.

 

With so much market volatility and so much uncertainty, we tried to take a somewhat neutral approach, attempting to reduce risk. The Portfolio has no significant overweightings relative to the S&P 500. The Portfolio's largest weightings at year-end were in health care, banks, and capital goods. Some of the Portfolio's selections in the areas of banking, health care equipment, and biotechnology contributed positively to performance, as did one of our capital goods companies involved in defense-related activities. The Portfolio's technology holdings (specifically, software and services and hardware and equipment) performed poorly overall. During the second half of the year, the Portfolio's holdings in financials were severely hit by fallout from the corporate accounting and governance scandals.

 

We are cautiously optimistic regarding the future of the stock market. Many areas of concern remain, e.g.: the increasingly likely conflict in Iraq. However, we also see reasons for optimism. The US government has provided an extraordinary degree of stimulus for the economy, and we believe that these actions will increase economic activity. Interest rates now stand at a 40-year low. The tax cuts passed last year, as well as those now being contemplated, should also have a positive impact. We believe that 2003 will see a strengthening of the equity markets.

 

 

Seligman Communications and Information Portfolio


No sector of the stock market delivered strong returns in 2002. Nearly everything was down, except for consumer staples, which was flat, and utilities, which was up slightly. Technology was burdened by the same issues that plagued the rest of the market: rising geopolitical tensions, corporate scandals, and a sluggish economy.

 

Technology, however, was the worst-performing sector of the S&P 500, and it did have some specific issues of its own. First, the industries that are the biggest users of technology  telecommunications and financial services  continued to struggle. Both industries continued to lay off employees, and thus have little need for new PCs or software licenses. In fact, they have a surplus. They are also not anxious to make large technology investments as they struggle with cash flow issues. Many subsectors of technology continued to grapple with a lack of pricing power, overcapacity, a weak financing environment, and, in many cases, high stock-price valuations.

 

The Portfolio continued to have a large weighting in software stocks in 2002. We still believe the software industry has stronger fundamentals and fewer saturation issues than most other areas of technology, particularly the semiconductor, personal computer, cellular telephone, and telecommunications industries. Within software, we have invested heavily in electronic design automation software. We also favor security software, particularly anti-virus and intrusion detection software, as well as mainframe software.

 

Other areas the Portfolio has focused on are video game stocks, a segment which we believe has some of the strongest fundamentals in all of technology, and health care equipment and services, which are generally reasonably valued and have potential for long-term growth. The Portfolio was underweighted in the Internet sector, communications equipment, and semiconductor capi-

tal equipment, and these underweightings helped mitigate a difficult year. The top detractor from performance was a holding in the IT consulting and services industry.

 

The near-term outlook for technology is difficult. Issues such as overcapacity are worrisome, as is the unresolved situation in Iraq. We believe IT spending in the US will see somewhere between 0 - 3% growth in 2003. We are confident, however, about the long-term potential of the Portfolio's holdings. In this challenging environment, we are being extremely selective in choosing stocks. Over the long term, we are optimistic about the technology sector's prospects.

 

 

Seligman Frontier Portfolio


During the past year, the US economy continued to show signs of recovery, and has now posted several quarters of positive economic growth. However, areas of uncertainty  such as continuing weak corporate profits and spending, falling consumer confidence, a spate of corporate governance scandals, and increased geopolitical tensions   weighed heavily on the stock market. The consumer sector, helped by mortgage refinancings, remained generally strong, though we believe the consumer sector now has limited growth potential.

 

Investments in the technology sector made the greatest negative contribution to overall Portfolio return as the sector continued to languish. However, our underweighting in the sector helped the Portfolio's relative returns during this time. While technology may be nearing the bottom of a cyclical downturn, the muted economic recovery and other factors weighing on the market may result in further stock price declines among technology stocks.

Seligman Frontier Portfolio (continued)


Businesses are unlikely to resume spending on capital budget items until the economy improves, and the sector is unlikely to advance until that occurs. However, we believe that valuations are attractive, even after a year-end rally, and we will seek to selectively add technology to the Portfolio in the coming months.

 

The Portfolio's exposure to the energy sector helped overall returns. While the sector delivered generally negative results, the energy stocks held by the Portfolio performed well, both on an absolute basis and relative to the Russell benchmark. However, we have begun to eliminate some of these names from the Portfolio because we believe they have become fully valued. One of the Portfolio's largest weightings during this time was health care. The group as a whole delivered poor performance during the past year, and we have been lowering the Portfolio's exposure to health care stocks. The Portfolio's investments in this area performed well on a relative basis, however. Within health care, our focus has been on undervalued health care service companies and biotechnology firms with established products and established cash flows.

 

We believe the US economic recovery will be led by industrial companies and therefore, consumer companies are likely to fall behind. We believe the Portfolio is currently well positioned for an environment of renewed overall economic strength, and particularly for an increase in industrial demand.

 

 

Seligman Global Growth Portfolio††


As 2002 began, our view of the US economy was that consumer spending would experience moderate growth, the economy would benefit from a period of inventory rebuilding, earnings would rebound due to cost-cutting, and capital expenditures would increase. In hindsight, we were early in our expectations for a recovery. While the consumer did continue to spend, aided by a wave of mortgage refinancings, the inventory rebuilding we saw in the first quarter of 2002 was not sustained. Also, we are still waiting for a clear improvement in corporate profitability, and for this reason, companies have been highly conservative in their capital spending.

 

As in the US, large-capitalization stocks in Europe posted large losses. Further, Continental Europe did not benefit from the mortgage refinancing trend that has helped boost consumer spending in the US and UK. The Japanese stock market performed relatively well, as did technology stocks in other parts of Asia.

 

The Portfolio has a significant weighting in the areas of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology and health care, mainly in the US and in Europe. In general, we believe health care stocks continue to benefit from demographic trends, with the demand for health care products being driven by the aging populations in both regions. We expect the need for basic health care services to increase, as well as for innovative quality-of-life enhancing products and services. Investments in the technology sector were the greatest negative contributors to overall Portfolio return as the sector continued to languish. At the beginning of the year, we had expected technology stocks to benefit by year-end from renewed capital expenditures. Instead, cost-cutting and reduced expenditures caused the sector to suffer further painful declines. We do not expect a recovery in technology until later in 2003. Until then, our focus will be on established companies with strong balance sheets, products and client relationships, as well as on those companies whose compelling valuations make them attractive.

 

We still believe that an economic recovery in the US will be led by the industrial side of the economy, and we continue to position the Portfolio for an economic recovery led by industrial and basic material stocks. These stocks have been at depressed levels for nearly two years and present investors with the possibility for significant upside potential. Our holdings in the sector include diversified manufacturing-related concerns. The prospect of military action in the Middle East makes the timing of a rebound somewhat uncertain. However, if military conflict can be resolved quickly, investors may see some improvement by mid-2003.

Seligman Global Smaller Companies Portfolio††


During the past year, the US economy continued to show signs of recovery, and has now posted five quarters of positive economic growth. However, areas of uncertainty  such as continued weak corporate profits and spending, wavering consumer confidence, a spate of corporate governance scandals, and increased geopolitical tensions  weighed heavily on the US stock market. Stock markets abroad posted mixed results. European economies are sluggish, and stock performance there reflected this economic weakness. The European Central Bank lowered interest rates 50 basis points on November 6, 2002, in an effort to revive flagging economies in the euro zone. Europe, however, was largely unaffected by the wave of corporate accounting scandals. As in the US, consumers in the UK have been resilient and have benefited from low interest rates and mortgage refinancings. The consumer has also been strong in Asia, particularly in South Korea.

 

During the period under review, the Portfolio was positioned for a cyclical recovery. In the international portion of the Portfolio, we sought to increase the number of holdings. We also sought to spread geographic risk by adding exposure to new markets.

 

Investments in the technology sector were a negative contributor to performance as the sector continued to languish. While technology may be nearing the bottom of a cyclical downturn, the weak economic recovery and other factors weighing on the market may result in further price declines among technology stocks. Businesses are unlikely to resume spending on capital budget items until the economy improves, and the sector is unlikely to advance until that occurs. However, we believe that valuations are currently attractive, and we may use further price declines as opportunities to selectively add technology stocks to the Portfolio in the coming months.

 

The Portfolio's investments in the health care area have been focused on undervalued health care service companies and biotechnology firms with established products and established cash flow. During the past year, the health care industry underperformed, and we have been lowering the Portfolio's exposure. The Portfolio's exposure to the energy sector helped overall returns. While the sector delivered generally negative returns, the energy stocks within the Portfolio delivered good performance, both on an absolute and relative basis.

 

The UK's economy remained strong relative to Continental Europe, but reasonable stock valuations were difficult to find. In light of the boom in mortgage refinancings and the low interest rate environment, the Portfolio had exposure to the construction industry in the UK. There is strong demand for modestly priced houses, and the Portfolio owned the stock of a house builder as a way to attempt to capitalize on this trend. Reflecting the continued strength of the consumer in the UK, we also had exposure to consumer-related stocks. In Europe, economic conditions were weak, but we believe this will slowly improve as the US economic recovery takes hold. The Portfolio was hurt by its exposure to the outsourcing theme in Europe. During the past year, companies cut back on outsourcing, and business services stocks suffered. In Asia, South Korea in particular has benefited from healthy consumer demand, and the Portfolio's exposure here has focused on consumer-related stocks such as supermarkets and other retail shops. In Japan, the Portfolio is diversified across a variety of economic sectors.

 

We believe that the US economy is in the beginning of an enduring, albeit slow and possibly unsteady, economic recovery. In our view, this recovery will be led by industrial companies and that consumer companies are likely to fall behind as consumer spending weakens. In international markets, things are slowly improving. We believe the economic weakness in Europe has created opportunities for the Portfolio to purchase attractively valued stocks. Going forward, the Portfolio is positioned for cyclical, not structural, growth, and we believe 2003 will be a better year.

Seligman Global Technology Portfolio††


Despite a year-end rally, the past year was difficult and disappointing for technology stocks around the world. At the beginning of the year, markets were expecting an economic recovery by the end of 2002. As the year progressed, however, prospects for a global recovery were pushed out until later in 2003. The market began to realize that end demand was not moving nearly as quickly as supply. European technology markets, which are heavily weighted with struggling telecommunications companies, lagged the US market. Asian markets performed well early on, then relinquished their lead as investors worried that Asian technology companies would remain mired in difficulty if the US failed to pull out of its slump.

 

During this difficult year, the Portfolio favored relatively defensive technology companies with less earnings variability than the average technology stock. We also liked companies that demonstrated the potential to grow quickly by taking market share. One of the Portfolio's largest weightings was software, which performed in line with the rest of the technology market. However, within this group we were selective, and the stocks we chose performed well overall on a relative basis, although many delivered negative absolute returns. The Portfolio's holdings in IT services and processing services were poor performers. The Portfolio's US holdings focused on software and services. In Asia, the Portfolio has sought to gain exposure to companies that have benefited from the outsourcing of production and services to Asia. It has been difficult to find good investment opportunities in European technology stocks, and the Portfolio is underweighted here.

 

Until there are more solid signs of a global economic recovery, the Portfolio will maintain a somewhat defensive bias. End demand must rebound before technology can stage a meaningful recovery. However, we are optimistic about the future of technology stocks as a whole because valuations are generally reasonable and reflect the difficult operating environment.

 

 

Seligman High-Yield Bond Portfolio


Seligman High-Yield Bond Portfolio spent the first few months of 2002 continuing to reposition its holdings in an attempt to add more diversity and liquidity. Defaults remained a major issue for the high-yield bond market in 2002, and risk avoidance became the watchword after an initial period of enthusiasm. The market began to punish risk, and in response the Portfolio became more conservative, looking for cash-generating bonds and avoiding those companies with eroding profitability or in danger of being downgraded. During this time, we underweighted technology and cyclicals. In October, however, investor sentiment shifted, and the high-yield bond market rallied sharply, rewarding risky credits such as telecom and other lower-rated bonds. The year's worst performers suddenly rallied, as investors felt there were bargains to be found. This change in the perception of risk coincided with an accumulation of good news such as improved economic numbers, a surprise interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve Board, and what the market perceived to be positive political developments.

 

As the October high-yield rally firmed, the Portfolio began to take on more risk, adding exposure to cyclicals and lower-rated credits. We shifted the Portfolio's credit quality mix in order to add yield and total return potential. We were also able to purchase what we felt to be oversold securities at very attractive prices, while at the same time sticking to our fundamental research process. We

continued to target credits with adequate liquidity, manageable debt loads, and stable or improving fortunes.

 

The Portfolio's performance was helped in 2002 by the avoidance of troubled names like Enron and WorldCom. The Portfolio's holdings in autos and industrials performed well during the first half of the year, as did our holdings in the areas of gaming, media, broadcasting, and energy. Performance was hurt in the last three months of 2002 by our lack of exposure to the lower quality bonds that rallied during this time. The Portfolio's underweighting in the consumer sector hurt performance, as these bonds did well. Cable, telecommunications, and certain utilities also performed poorly.

 

We believe 2003 will see an improved environment, both for the US economy and for the high-yield bond market. There is a great deal of monetary and fiscal stimulus in the system, and this should contribute to moderate economic growth. In the high-yield bond market, we think defaults will continue to decrease. The Federal Reserve Board will likely leave interest rates untouched over the near term, as inflation is contained. We believe all of these factors constitute a constructive environment for high-yield bonds, and we have accordingly positioned the Portfolio for an economic recovery. Geopolitics continue to be a concern, of course, and in the event of a prolonged war or slower-than-expected economic growth, the Portfolio would again adopt a more conservative approach.

 

 

Seligman Income Portfolio


In 2002, the Portfolio operated within a very negative environment characterized by a tense geopolitical situation, mixed news on the economy, and worries regarding corporate governance and accounting practices. As a result, investor confidence was severely undermined, and 2002 was the third consecutive down year for the stock market. Higher-quality bonds continued to outpace stocks in 2002, offering investors a relative safe haven. In November, the Federal Reserve Board cut rates 50 basis points, hoping to build investor confidence.

 

The Portfolio continued to dedicate roughly 60% of its assets to common stocks, and 40% to a mix of Treasuries, US government agency bonds, and corporates. With so much market volatility and uncertainty surrounding the geopolitical situation, we have tried to take a somewhat neutral approach, attempting to reduce risk. The Portfolio has no significant overweightings relative to the S&P 500. Some of the

Portfolio's stock selections in the areas of health care and consumer durables contributed positively to performance in 2002. Our technology holdings performed poorly overall. During the second half of the year, some of the Portfolio's holdings in technology and diversified financials were severely hit by fallout from the corporate accounting and governance scandals. The Portfolio's fixed income holdings contributed positively to performance during the year. At the beginning of 2002, investors expected the economy would improve, but as the rebound lost strength, risk was punished in the bond market. In response, we upgraded the quality of the Portfolio's fixed income holdings, and were able to benefit from the subsequent rally in Treasuries and other high-quality bonds.

 

Going forward, we are cautiously optimistic. Many areas of concern remain, e.g.: the war on terrorism, the increasingly likely  conflict in Iraq, falling consumer confidence and spending, and continued anemic corporate spending and profits. However, we also see reasons for optimism. The US government has provided an extraordinary degree of stimulus for the economy, and we believe that these actions will produce the desired effect of increasing economic activity. The recovery may be gradual, however. The Portfolio is positioned for what we believe will be a moderate economic recovery, and accordingly, we have increased our weighting in corporate bonds.

 

Seligman International Growth Portfolio††


During the past year, the world economy had difficulty gaining momentum, and corporate profits did not improve appreciably. Overseas markets experienced major corrections, as did the US stock market. Some areas fared better than others, however. Asian markets posted better performance than European markets, where large-capitalization stocks suffered steep declines. Japan benefited from a certain degree of optimism regarding the reform process there, as well as from some currency appreciation. Australia's stock market was largely insulated from world events despite having several large exporters in the mining sector and a large multi-national media company. In general terms, the countries in which homeownership is prevalent and interest rates are low (such as the US, the UK, and Australia) had relatively healthy economies. Europe, where renters predominate, did not benefit from the refinancing trend, nor was the European Central Bank aggressive in lowering interest rates during the past year.

 

Information technology stocks detracted from Portfolio performance over the past year. Despite some decent performance from our Asian technology holdings, we were hurt by stock selection in this area. Certain companies appeared to offer attractive valuations and good growth, but, unfortunately, the growth failed to materialize. Consumer staples stocks were a major weighting for the Portfolio during the past year, and they contributed positively toward performance. Against a backdrop of economic weakness, investors have seen this sector as a safe haven. Valuations now reflect these stocks' popularity, and we believe this rally has run its course, particularly since the factors supporting the consumer  the prospect of lower interest rates, mortgage refinancings, and tax cuts  will be difficult to sustain in 2003. Going forward, the Portfolio's exposure to these stocks will be lowered.

 

Continental Europe continues to be our largest geographic allocation, representing roughly one-half of the Portfolio. Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Germany are the Portfolio's largest country weightings in this region. In our view, Europe's economic downturn is bottoming, and export sectors should be the first beneficiaries of a global economic upturn. Politically, we believe monetary and fiscal policy on balance may be shifting towards greater accommodation and growth. The Fund's holdings in the UK represent roughly 20% of holdings, and are broadly diversified, including large pharmaceutical companies and banks.

Seligman International Growth Portfolio†† (continued)


The Portfolio's weighting in Japanese equities has decreased over the past year, with Japan representing almost 12% of the Portfolio's holdings. As the reform process moves slowly forward, the reform of bank balance sheets is taking on greater urgency. We believe Japan's economy is slowing, but we expect Japan's export sector to benefit from a global economic recovery in 2003. Increasing restructuring and merger activity is helping Japanese corporations adapt to changes in the Asian region. The Portfolio's holdings in Japan are diversified, and include well-known exporters.

 

The Portfolio's weighting in non-Japanese Pacific markets has increased slightly over the period under review, representing about 10% of the Portfolio's investments. Australia is the largest country weighting in this region, though the Portfolio also has investments in Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. Australia's economy has been relatively healthy and insulated from world events over the past year, and is expected to grow at a fairly strong pace in 2003. We believe the resource-based Australian economy is positioned to be a chief beneficiary of a cyclical global economic recovery.

 

We are cautiously optimistic in our outlook, and believe we are in the early stages of a global economic recovery led by the US. Certain economies, particularly in Asia, are projected to have higher growth rates than the US. We have noted several positive trends that are conducive to international investing, including a weaker US currency, rising productivity around the world, a new openness to trade and investment, and improving regulatory, monetary, and taxation policies in many parts of the world. The Portfolio is positioned for a cyclical recovery, which we believe will begin in 2003.

 

 

Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income Portfolio


At the beginning of 2002, interest rates were slowly moving higher, as investors began to anticipate economic recovery. However, by the early spring of 2002, rates began a freefall, with the 10-year Treasury yield falling from its peak of about 5.4% in the middle of March to 3.6% at the end of September, ending the year at 3.8%. The sharp decline in rates was driven by the fact that the economic recovery seemed slower and less steady than many had hoped. Also, the largest declines in yields were concentrated among Treasuries and higher-rated corporate bonds, producing enormous spreads between high-grade and low-grade debt. As perceived geopolitical risks increased and more allegations of corporate malfeasance surfaced, investors sought a degree of safety in high-quality bonds, particularly Treasuries.

 

As 2002 began, the Portfolio was positioned for an economic recovery and, thus, higher interest rates. We were increasing exposure to lower-rated investment-grade bonds to capture potential capital appreciation as spreads narrowed. We reassessed our strategy, however, when the economy showed signs of slowing and risk was being punished by the market. We steered the Portfolio into what proved to be safer territory, and the Portfolio benefited from this emphasis on Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds.

 

While we believe the US economy is in the early stages of recovery, growth is likely to be slow and possibly unsteady over the next several months. Thus, we plan to remain conservative, with the Portfolio concentrated in Treasuries and top-tier corporate bonds. We believe there will be attractive opportunities among relatively lower rated investment-grade corporates as market sentiment improves, and we will pursue these opportunities when we feel the time is right, but investors may remain risk averse for a while.

Seligman Large-Cap Growth Portfolio


As we headed into 2002, we believed the economy would stage a lasting recovery, and were thus hopeful for growth stocks, which typically do well in the early phases of recovery. In hindsight, we were early in our expectations, as 2002 proved to be yet another dismal year for equity investors. While no area of the market was safe  every sector delivered negative performance  growth stocks fared even worse. Investors pursued what they perceived to be the very safest of investments and shunned stocks whose prices depend heavily upon investor optimism for the future, particularly growth stocks.

 

The Portfolio maintained a relatively large weighting in technology. This exposure hurt returns since technology was one of the worst-performing sectors of the market. Spending on equipment and software bottomed in the beginning of 2002, but has since been improving. Spending in this area is now growing at its fastest rate in three years, and we believe this growth will continue throughout 2003. Industrial stocks, particularly chemical manufacturing companies, remained a significant part of the Portfolio. Business investment improved in 2002, and industrial stocks were among the chief beneficiaries. Companies maintained historically low inventories in 2002, which we believe bodes well for 2003.

 

We continue to have confidence that an economic recovery is slowly taking place, and that industrial stocks will be the primary beneficiaries. Businesses have cut costs dramatically over the past few years. If demand resumes, earnings will be highly leveraged. We are focusing on those industries, such as technology and industrials, best positioned to take advantage of this type of recovery. The major risk to this outlook is the possibility of war in the Middle East.

 

 

Seligman Large-Cap Value Portfolio


2002 was an extremely difficult year for equity investors and for the Portfolio. Many had expected it to be a positive year for equities, but, as it turned out, it was a year characterized by high-profile cases of fraudulent corporate accounting and unethical corporate governance. The effect of these well-publicized scandals was to severely undermine investor confidence at a time when the US economy was struggling to emerge from recession. The scandals counteracted the vast amount of fiscal and monetary stimulus provided to restart the economy. The overall economy was still plagued by a recession in corporate profits and capital spending by businesses.

 

In 2002 the Portfolio significantly underperformed, largely because its merchant energy holdings (e.g., AES and El Paso) suffered severe price declines despite, in our opinion, being fundamentally sound businesses. We continue to hold AES because it received approval for a debt restructuring. The Portfolio also continues to own El Paso.

 

At year-end the Portfolio's largest weightings were in banks, insurance, and diversified financials. Much of the bad news earlier in the year that afflicted financial stocks, including Enron-related litigation and high-risk loan exposure, appears to be ending. Among the Portfolio's largest holdings are a large investment bank and a financial services conglomerate. They should benefit from a domestic and global economic recovery. The Portfolio also owns several high-quality insurance companies. We believe the insurance industry currently has pricing power, since we are in the middle of what is typically a three-year cycle of rising premiums.

Seligman Large-Cap Value Portfolio (continued)


We are optimistic that 2003 will be a better year. For stocks to move ahead, we think it is important that five elements be in place  tangible proof of economic growth; the lowering and stability of the price of oil; resolution of the Iraqi confrontation; earnings growth exceeding expectations; and the recognition by investors of the relative and absolute attractiveness of equities. We believe the Portfolio is currently positioned well, with strong companies purchased at relatively attractive prices.

 

Seligman Small-Cap Value Portfolio


2002 was a difficult year, with the biggest factor driving performance being the market itself. Unnerved by high-profile corporate scandals, investors punished nearly all stocks, regardless of size, style, and industry. The Portfolio, which had been positioned for a recovery, was hurt when this recovery was pushed out into the future. The Portfolio's financial stocks performed especially poorly. The Portfolio had a large weighting in consumer-oriented stocks. Consumer spending remains stable. Our consumer holdings include a manufacturer of residential furniture and specialty retailers.

 

We also maintained a large weighting in the health care sector. Valuations in health care are significantly below their five-year average, as are profit margins, leaving room for growth. Additionally, the regulatory and legislative environment is currently more favorable for many health care companies. Portfolio holdings in the sector include both biopharmaceutical companies and health care and medical products providers. We also maintained a large weighting in the industrials sector. We expect excess capacity to diminish in 2003 as companies replace equipment. Inventory-to-sales ratios are at record lows as companies keep minimal stock on hand. As business spending increases, we believe manufacturing orders will increase.

 

We believe that 2003 will be the first year of normalized earnings that investors have seen in a long while. Many American companies have eliminated excess costs, resulting in improved profit margins. We believe that as business spending and sales improve, earnings have the potential to improve as well. In anticipation of increased business spending, the Portfolio has selectively added technology stocks, including a supplier of chipsets to mobile phone manufacturers. We will seek to add other companies that are taking market share and that have reasonable longer-term prospects.

The views and opinions expressed are those of the Portfolio Manager(s), are provided for general information only, and do not constitute specific tax, legal, or investment advice to, or recommendation for, any person. There can be no guarantee as to the accuracy of market forecasts. Opinions, estimates, and forecasts may be changed without notice.

 

Performance data quoted represent past performance, reflect any change in price and assume all distributions are reinvested in additional shares. Returns are net of all portfolio operating expenses, but do not include any charges imposed on contract owners by the insurance companies' separate account. If the returns included the effect of these additional charges, they would have been lower. For certain Portfolios, the Manager is voluntarily reimbursing a portion of the Portfolio's expenses, and such reimbursement can be discontinued at any time at the Manager's discretion. Absent such reimbursement, returns would have been lower.

Investing in this Portfolio is subject to certain risks, including the possible loss of principal. There are specific risks associated with global investing, such as currency fluctuations, foreign taxation, differences in financial reporting practices, and rapid changes in political and economic conditions.

_____________

* Non-income producing security.

† Investments in mortgage-backed securities are subject to principal paydowns. As a result of prepayments from refinancing or satisfaction of the underlying mortgage instruments, the average life may be less than the original maturity. This in turn may impact the ultimate yield realized from these investments.

_____________

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.

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 Portfolio (“Income Portfolio”), Seligman International Growth Portfolio (“International Growth Portfolio”), Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income Portfolio, formerly Seligman Bond Portfolio (“Investment Grade Portfolio”), Seligman Large-Cap Growth Portfolio (“Large-Cap Growth Portfolio”), Seligman Large-Cap Value Portfolio (“Large-Cap Value Portfolio”), and Seligman Small-Cap Value Portfolio (“Small-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.

 

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, 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 - Investments in US Government and Government Agency securities, bonds, asset-backed securities, convertible securities, and stocks are valued at the most current market values or, in their absence, at fair market values determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Securities traded on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or, in its absence and in the case of over-the-counter securities, at the mean of closing bid and asked prices. Short-term holdings maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. Investments held by 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 current 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 (“ADRs”), American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), and Global Depositary Shares (“GDSs”). ADRs and ADSs are issued by domestic banks or trust companies and evidence ownership of securities issued by foreign corporations. ADRs and ADSs are traded on United States exchanges or over-the-counter and are not included in the 10% limitation. EDRs, GDRs, and GDSs are receipts similar to ADRs and ADSs 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:

 

 

 

(i)

 market value of investment securities, other assets, and liabilities, at the daily rate of exchange as reported by a pricing service;

 

 

 

(ii)

 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 value of cash held in foreign currencies at December 31, 2002, was substantially the same as its cost.

Seligman Portfolios, Inc.

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

 

 

The Portfolios separate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held in the portfolios. Similarly, the Portfolios separate the effect of changes in foreign 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.

 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 have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 

 

e.

 Security Transactions and Related Investment Income - Investment transactions are recorded on trade dates. 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 Fund is informed of the dividend.

 

 

f.

 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, 2002, 12b-1 fees were the only class-specific expenses.

 

 

g.

 Repurchase Agreements -The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements with commercial banks and with broker/dealers deemed to be creditworthy by J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (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. The repurchase agreements held as of December 31, 2002 matured pursuant to their terms.

 

 

h.

 Distributions to Shareholders - 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. These differences primarily are caused by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain and the recharacterization of foreign exchange gains or losses to either ordinary income or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassification will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of the Portfolios.

 

4.

Purchases and Sales of Securities - Purchase and sales of portfolio securities, excluding US Government obligations and shortterm investments, for the year ended December 31, 2002, were as follows:

 

Portfolio   Purchases   Sales   Portfolio   Purchases   Sales  

 
Capital   $ 25,779,759   $ 30,573,623    High-Yield Bond   $ 16,526,313   $ 19,072,736

Identified cost of investments sold is used for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

Management Fee, Administrative 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 Investment Grade Portfolios’ daily net assets; equal to 0.75%, on an annual basis, of each of Communications and Information and Frontier Portfolios’ daily net assets; and equal to 0.50%, on an annual basis, of High-Yield Bond Portfolio’s daily net assets. The Manager’s fee for each of the Seligman International Portfolios is equal to 1.00% per annum of the first $1 billion of average daily net assets, 0.95% per annum of the next $1 billion of average daily net assets, and 0.90% per annum in excess of $2 billion of average daily net assets of each Portfolio. 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 Small-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.

 

 

Prior to January 1, 2003, Henderson Investment Management Limited (the “Subadviser”) was the subadviser to the Global Smaller Companies Portfolio and was responsible for furnishing investment advice, research, and assistance with respect to the Portfolio’s international investments. Under the subadvisory agreement, the Manager paid the Subadviser a subadvisory fee at a rate of 0.50% per annum of the average monthly net assets under the Subadviser’s supervision. The Subadviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson plc, which is an indirect subsidiary of AMP Limited, an Australian life insurance and financial services company.

 

 

On November 21, 2002, at a meeting of the Fund’s Board of Directors, the Board did not renew the subadvisory agreement of the Subadviser in respect of the Global Smaller Companies Portfolio. As a result, the subadvisory agreement expired on December 31, 2002. Thereafter, the Manager has assumed full responsibility for all investments of the Seligman International Portfolios.

 

 

The Manager agreed to reimburse expenses, other than management and 12b-1 fees, that exceed the following rates per annum of average daily net assets of each Portfolio:

 

Portfolio   Rate        Portfolio   Rate       Portfolio   Rate  

Capital     0.40 %  

Global Growth

    0.40 %  

International Growth

    0.40 %
Cash Management     0.30

Income

    0.55    

Small-Cap Value

    0.20  

 

 

The amounts of these reimbursements, where applicable, for the year ended December 31, 2002, are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. 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 and of contracts issued by variable annuity separate accounts of one insurance company and its affiliates. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Distributor earned fees of $9,758 for distributing such contracts.

 

 

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 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, 2002, fees incurred under the Plan aggregated $8,373, or 0.25% per annum; $28,806, or 0.25% per annum; $3,256 or 0.15% per annum; and $15,245, 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 Small-Cap Value Portfolio, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

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, 2002, are included in 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.

Capital Loss Carryforwards and Other Tax Adjustments - At December 31, 2002, the Portfolios had net capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes which are available for offset against future taxable net capital gains. These net capital loss carryforwards expire in various amounts through 2010. 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. The amounts, which were determined after adjustments for certain differences between financial reporting and tax purposes, such as wash sale losses, are as follows:

Portfolio   Amount       Portfolio   Amount       Portfolio   Amount  

 
Capital   $ 16,109,561    

Global Smaller Companies

    1,910,434    

Investment Grade

In addition, the Portfolios elected to defer to January 1, 2003, the recognition for tax purposes of  net losses realized on sales of investments after October 31, 2002. These post-October losses, which are are available to offset future taxable net capital gains, as follows:

 

Portfolio   Amount       Portfolio   Amount       Portfolio   Amount  

 
Capital   $ 271,637    

Global Growth

Committed Line of Credit - All of the Portfolios, except the Cash Management Portfolio, are participants in a joint $650 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 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 2003, but is renewable annually with the consent of the participating banks.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Small-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 $4,376,289, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.278%. The maximum borrowing outstanding during the year was $11,700,000.

The tables below are intended to help you understand the financial performance of each Class of each Portfolio for the past five years or from its inception, if less than five years. 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 associat ed with variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts, and are not annualized for periods of less than one year.

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, 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 Portfolio, Seligman International Growth Portfolio, Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income Portfolio (formerly, Seligman Bond Portfolio), Seligman Large-Cap Growth Portfolio, Seligman Large-Cap Value Portfolio, and Seligman Small-Cap Value Portfolio, and collectively referred to as the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2002, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the 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 examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2002, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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, 2002, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
