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, 2003, or since inception through December 31, 2003, if less than 10 years, to $10,000 hypothetical investments in the appropriate benchmark indices 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

Market conditions and equity performance improved dramatically in 2003, responding favorably to improving geopolitical conditions and strong economic and corporate developments. The economy has now seen two years of positive growth, with the second and third quarters of 2003 posting accelerating annualized real rates of GDP growth of 3.1% and 8.2%, respectively. This recovery has primarily been fueled by historically low interest rates, positive fiscal policies, and highly accommodative monetary policies. Consumer spending remained strong, driven by reduced marginal tax rates, tax rebates, and a low interest rate environment that provided homeowners the opportunity to restructure debt, refinance existing mortgages, and tap into home equity. Low interest rates also allowed corporations to restructure balance sheets and refinance debt at much lower rates. This provided corporations with working capital, improving financial conditions for business expansion and leading to margin improvements and stronger operating profits.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark Russell MidCap Growth Index. The Portfolio was positioned for an improving economy. Portfolio construction favored sectors that were cyclical in nature and highly leveraged to strong economic growth. Because we were early in anticipating an economic and market recovery, the Portfolio’s underperfomance in the first half of 2003 hampered our overall performance versus the Russell benchmark for the year as a whole. In June of 2003, there was a turning point in the market. As the economy improved, equities responded favorably, and the sectors that historically benefit most from economic growth began to lead the market advance. As a result, the Portfolio posted strong relative and absolute performance during the second half of the year.

The Portfolio’s overweighting in information technology was a positive contributor to the absolute performance of the portfolio as technology was one of the best performing sectors within the benchmark. On a relative basis, however, the Portfolio’s holdings in this sector did not perform as strongly as those of the benchmark. The Portfolio increased its weighting in this sector during the year because of our faith in the economic recovery. Technology companies, we believed, would be among the first and largest beneficiaries of the economic recovery because we thought that increased corporate spending in the form of capital expenditures would help drive the recovery. We had identified other positive factors within the technology sector that made us favor these stocks, including reduced inventories, reduced excess manufacturing capacity, and new product cycles coming to market.

The Portfolio maintained significant exposure to the consumer discretionary sector, yet was relatively underweighted versus the benchmark. The Portfolio has had less than the benchmark’s exposure to the consumer discretionary sector, largely because consumer spending had remained strong throughout the economic downturn. We felt that expectations and valuations had become somewhat high for these stocks, and we were concerned that the group would underperform. The decision to underweight the sector benefited the Portfolio’s returns for the year because the sector was among the benchmark’s weakest areas. Additionally, the consumer discretionary stocks that were in the Portfolio outperformed those in the same sector of the benchmark, and as a result, the sector contributed positively to the Portfolio’s returns for the year both on an absolute and relative basis.

Seligman Capital Portfolio (continued)

Health care was another large sector weighting, and the Portfolio was nearly equal weighted with the benchmark in this sector. The Portfolio’s health care holdings as a group delivered generally positive absolute performance for the year; however, on a relative basis, they underperformed those in the same sector as the benchmark. Our investments in this sector are now focused on higher-growth companies, such as biotechnology.

The Portfolio was overweight versus the benchmark in the industrial sector and basic materials sector throughout the year. These overweight positions were put into place because industrial and basic materials stocks typically are among the major beneficiaries of an economic recovery. The Portfolio’s holdings in these sectors underperformed the overall benchmark and their respective sectors of the benchmark for the year. However, as the economy improved and earnings exceeded expectations in the second half of the year, the investments in these two sectors provided strong positive absolute returns and contributed to the Portfolio’s performance relative to their respective sectors of the benchmark during that six-month period.

Seligman Common Stock Portfolio

In 2003, the stock market seemed at long last to benefit from the accommodative fiscal and monetary policy of recent years. All sectors of the market posted gains for the year. Geopolitical tensions in the first quarter of the year weighed heavily on the market initially, but beginning in mid-March, the market began to see substantial upward momentum, which lasted throughout the remainder of the year. The combination of income tax reductions, the decrease in the dividend tax, historically low interest rates, and the Federal Reserve Board’s expansion of the money supply was also positive for equities. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth improved markedly, particularly in the third quarter of 2003. Moving into the fourth quarter of 2003, leading economic indicators appeared to be heading upward, as did industrial production.
 
With this stimulative backdrop, consumer spending continued strong in 2003, despite the downward trend of consumer sentiment prior to the Iraqi war. Furthermore, with the relatively quick end to major hostilities in Iraq, consumer sentiment rose even higher. Meanwhile, lower interest rates were also working in the consumer’s favor, as home mortgage refinancings continued to surge, enhancing liquidity and spending.

The Portfolio’s investments in the information technology sector contributed significantly to positive performance on an absolute basis, as this was the best-performing sector in the S&P 500. However, many of the more speculative technology companies led the sector’s performance in 2003. Since the Portfolio does not typically invest in these types of companies, our relative performance lagged that of the benchmark.

The Portfolio’s absolute and relative performance was helped by holdings in the consumer discretionary sector. We liked this sector from a fundamental standpoint and thought the market had not yet appreciated what we saw as underlying strength. We took advantage of attractive valuations and overweighted the sector. This overweighting, coupled with sound stock selection, produced strong returns for the Portfolio as consumer discretionary outperformed other areas of the market.

Financial stocks were a strong positive in terms of investment results for the year, as this sector performed well. The Portfolio was overweighted in this sector, which led to outperformance relative to the benchmark S&P 500 in this area. The Portfolio was opportunistic and took advantage during periods of price weakness due to concerns about restructuring in the industry and increasing commitments in certain large financial companies. When these stocks rebounded, the Portfolio benefited from these enlarged commitments, significantly aiding overall investment results. Finally, the Portfolio’s performance was penalized by the consumer staples sector, where the Portfolio underperformed the S&P 500. The telecommunications services sector, while representing only a small portion of the Portfolio, was a negative in terms of absolute and relative performance. Early in the year, our overweighting proved premature. When sector performance finally improved, our portfolio position had been pared so that the overall results proved negative. Stock selection in the utilities sector also detracted significantly from performance.

Seligman Communications and Information Portfolio

Following three years of declines, the US technology market delivered outstanding returns in 2003. During this time, US economic growth was strong, with a third-quarter 2003 GDP annualized growth rate of 8.2%. Technology spending was a strong component of this growth, and earnings for technology companies began growing again following two years of declines. Much of this spending came from consumers and small- and mid-sized companies. Larger companies remained on the sidelines, continuing to wait for surer signs that the economic recovery was progressing with tangible effects on their bottom lines.
 
Within this environment, investors bet heavily on technology and drove prices for these stocks higher. The greatest beneficiaries were more speculative small- and micro-cap stocks. While the Portfolio certainly participated in the rally of 2003, it remained invested in mid- and larger-sized companies with steadier revenues and profits. We continued to favor software stocks. This was the overweighting relative to the Goldman Sachs Technology Index (GSTI). The Portfolio’s holdings in this area outperformed the average software holding within the benchmark. However, while software was a positively performing sector, it significantly underperformed other sectors, and the Portfolio’s overweighting in this area thus hurt relative returns.

Health care was another area of heavy weighting for the Portfolio. Here, too, the health care stocks the Portfolio chose delivered outstanding performance relative to other health care stocks within the GSTI. However, the health care sector underperformed other index sectors, and the Portfolio’s return was thus adversely impacted. Over this past fiscal year, the Portfolio increased its exposure to health care companies, particularly those with exposure to the consolidating lab testing market and medical instrument manufacturers. We believe the stocks we purchased within this area had better sustainable growth rates at what we believed to be more reasonable prices than many traditional sectors of technology.

The Portfolio was about equal weighted with the index in IT services, which underperformed technology as a whole in 2003, and the Portfolio’s holdings in this group also underperformed those in the benchmark GSTI. We favored the sector because of its predictable, recurring revenues and high profit margins. In the 2003 rally, however, investors pursued companies that, in our view, were more dependent upon an economic rebound. Predictable, profitable companies in IT services, whose profit margins are not as dependent upon the state of the economy, didn’t do as well as companies that are more volatile and more leveraged to economic growth.

During this time, the Portfolio was significantly underweighted versus the benchmark in hardware (computers and peripherals). This benefited the Portfolio because hardware was a relative underperformer. In addition, the Portfolio’s hardware holdings outperformed those of the benchmark. The Portfolio’s holdings within this group were concentrated in select printer manufacturers that have stable and recurring earnings due to replacement cartridge sales.

The Portfolio was also significantly underweighted relative to the benchmark in semiconductors and semiconductor capital equipment stocks. This area was a relatively strong performer and a relatively large weighting within the benchmark. While the semiconductor stocks in the Portfolio significantly outperformed those in the benchmark, our decision to underweight this sector was a negative for the Portfolio. We had chosen to underweight chip stocks because of the poor profitability of many of the leading players in the industry during the economic downturn, and because of the poor results posted by these companies through the summer of 2003. Prices for these stocks appeared to us to be significantly ahead of fundamentals. However, at the end of the summer and early in the fall of 2003, we began to perceive improving fundamentals, most notably with the stronger earnings that were reported by many of these companies in the September 2003 quarter. During the last four months of the year, we significantly increased the Portfolio’s weighting in this area, although we remained underweighted versus the benchmark.

Seligman Frontier Portfolio

During the past year, US stocks delivered some of the best gains we have seen in years, fueled by the end of major warfare in Iraq, an improving US economy, and strengthening corporate earnings. During this time, speculative stocks, those companies who, in our view, have less promising prospects for profit, and those with highly leveraged balance sheets, once again found favor. The Portfolio’s investment process is designed to lead us to companies with strong balance sheets and the potential to generate earnings growth. This led us away from some of the more speculative stocks that generated high returns during the year, and negatively impacted the Portfolio’s performance.
 
While nearly all of the sectors in which the Portfolio invests delivered positive total returns for the one-year period, the Portfolio underperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index in some sectors. Information technology, health care, consumer discretionary stocks, and energy, while delivering positive absolute returns for the Portfolio, negatively impacted the Portfolio’s total return on a relative basis.

Information technology stocks were among the strongest performers within the Russell Index, and the sector was the Portfolio’s heaviest sector Portfolio focused on fundamentals such as balance-sheet strength that were less emphasized during the market rally. These less speculative stocks delivered strong returns, but underperformed the sector as a whole.

Health care holdings represented a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments. Over the past year, performance in health care has been driven largely by speculative and micro-cap biotechnology companies. The Portfolio’s low exposure in biotechnology hurt relative returns during this time, but the Portfolio recently increased its exposure to biotechnology as some of the more established companies have shown promise.

At year-end, the Portfolio was overweighted in consumer discretionary stocks. While the Portfolio’s holdings within the group delivered positive results overall, the particular stocks the Portfolio held underperformed the sector as a whole. During the past year, the Portfolio’s focus within this sector was specialty apparel, branded retailers, and media companies. Once again, while these industries delivered positive absolute performance, the stocks within the Portfolio underperformed relative to those represented in the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

While the Portfolio’s absolute return in the energy sector was positive, the sector was a relative underperformer within the Russell 2000 Growth benchmark. The Portfolio’s overweighting in the sector, as well as the underperformance of the Portfolio’s sector holdings, contributed to the sec-tor’s overall negative impact on the Portfolio’s relative returns. In the first half of the year, the Portfolio was positioned to benefit from continued high prices for oil and gas. This unfolded as expected; however, energy stocks could not keep pace with the overall market rally, and investors moved out of the sector in favor of more economically sensitive areas.

The Portfolio was significantly underweighted in financial stocks relative to the Russell benchmark. This was positive for performance, as the sector was one of the benchmark’s weakest performers.

Seligman Global Growth Portfolio††

During 2003, global economic prospects brightened, as business conditions and corporate earnings slowly improved with each passing quarter. The US led the way, with stock prices rising with the end of major combat in Iraq, an improving US economy, and strengthening corporate earnings. European exporters suffered from the strength of the euro against the US dollar, and gains for European stocks lagged those of US stocks. The euro zone’s economic growth rate remained fairly low despite some corporate earnings improvement. Additionally, Japan found favor with investors during the year, as its economy posted positive growth rates and the government seemed to move closer to making needed reforms.
 
Holdings in the information technology, consumer discretionary, and health care sectors contributed to performance. During the year, the Portfolio’s performance was also positively impacted by stock selection in the US, Canada, and South Korea. The Portfolio’s exposure to Japan was also a positive, as this market performed well during the year. In sector-specific terms, the Portfolio’s good stock selection in health care and consumer discretionary stocks contributed positively to performance. US health care and information technology stocks were especially good performers. The Portfolio’s stock performance during the year, as did stock selection in the areas of financials and utilities.

The Portfolio was underweighted in the financial sector, an area of the market that continues to have overcapacity issues that remain to be addressed, and where it is generally difficult to find good companies that have above-market growth rates. During the third quarter, however, we did buy the stock of a few banks in Japan, a move that was additive to performance. These securities were bought on the premise that a stabilization of the banks’ loan portfolios and an improved outlook for Japan should drive their stock prices higher.

Seligman Global Smaller Companies Portfolio††

During the past year, global equity markets were generally strong, and the Portfolio’s performance benefited from this strength. The recovery in the US and international equity markets spread to Japan and much of Asia. Liquidity increased significantly as institutional investors returned to the equity markets in search of better returns, given historically low yields on bonds and cash. The corporate sector reported profits in line with or ahead of market expectations, leading to a rebound in equity markets that was marked by speculative behavior in a number of instances, with large movements concentrated in cylical stocks, technology, semiconductors, and media names. We continued to focus our energies on bottom-up stock picking by positioning the Portfolio to more attractively valued areas as we sought to exploit overlooked sectors of the market.
 
Within the US, GDP growth was stronger than expected. Productivity also increased strongly, and there were signs that the labor market might be improving. Further, after a sustained period of downsizing, corporations were faced with aging capital stock and began to use profits to upgrade their investments.

During the period, European economic growth appeared to continue to lag, but there were signs that the economy outside of manufacturing was expanding, and the manufacturing sector is expected to follow soon. During the year, the euro strengthened against

the US dollar, and the yen appreciated even more. For the first time in recent memory, Japan seemed close to completing the downsizing, post-bubble write-downs, and restructurings it needed to re-enter global markets as a long-term contender.

The information technology and consumer discretionary sectors contributed most to the Portfolio’s performance on an absolute basis. Stock selection in Israel, Singapore, and Hong Kong contributed positively to the Portfolio’s performance during the year. Israeli information technology companies and consumer discretionary stocks in Hong Kong and Japan were especially positive contributors. The Portfolio’s performance was hurt by stock selection in South Korea, Taiwan, the UK, and Canada. Stock selection within the industrials, information technology, and financial sectors also detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. Some of the Portfolio’s US health care stocks were negative contributors to performance.

The Portfolio’s largest overweighting was in the health care sector, based on the belief that health care would show continued above-market growth going forward. During the period, this overweighting detracted slightly from performance. We were also underweighted in materials, which hurt relative performance.

Seligman Global Technology Portfolio††

The US economic recovery picked up steam in the second half of 2003, with robust GDP, manufacturing, and productivity numbers being reported. Performance for global technology stocks, particularly in the US, was strong. Earnings expectations for global technology improved and are better than in most other sectors. With fewer exogenous factors holding back global economic growth and spending, we believe investors are generally anticipating stronger results and that the past year’s market strength reflects heightened expectations of a rebound in technology spending. Despite continuing signs of weak end-market demand, a majority of technology companies met or beat earnings expectations, having benefited from favorable currency exchange in the US and aggressive cost cutting worldwide. Additionally, inventories remain low in most key technology sectors, setting the stage for even a modest increase in demand to quickly impact revenue and earnings.
 
In the first quarter of 2003, it appeared to us as though the market was largely ignoring fundamentals, focusing instead on the daily events related to Iraq. We viewed the resultant market volatility as an opportunity to reduce positions that had reached target prices, and conversely, we took advantage of price weakness to buy new holdings or add to existing positions.

The technology market was driven higher in 2003 largely due to strong performance in the semiconductor and semiconductor capital equipment sectors; because of our underweighted position in these areas the Portfolio did not fully participate in this rally. We still believe, however, that semiconductor sales are in for a slow recovery and that valuations in these areas remain too high. In 2003, we selectively increased our exposure to semiconductors and semiconductor capital equipment, yet remained underweighted in these areas versus the index. Though this position negatively affected relative performance, we are unwilling to increase weightings in semiconductors because of valuation concerns.

By contrast, our decision to remain overweighted in Japanese technology stocks contributed solidly to Portfolio performance. These holdings have attractive absolute and relative valuations and have continued to perform well, spurred by improving demand. The Portfolio’s low weighting in Europe does not reflect any negative macroeconomic analysis; rather, it is due to what we perceive to be a lack of specific investment opportunities.

Another area we have been increasing our exposure to is telecommunications equipment. The Portfolio has been underweighted in this area for some time, but we are starting to believe that the worst may be over for these stocks. This increased exposure, as well as our good stock selection, was good for performance. We also cut back on holdings within IT services. The Portfolio had a large overweighting in this group at the start of the year, and we decided to trim our position to take advantage of the sector’s appreciation in the first part of 2003. The few IT services hold-

ings that remained in the Portfolio hurt performance, as several of the larger IT services companies came out at the end of the first quarter with disappointing earnings guidance for the rest of the year. The Portfolio was overweighted in software during the year. While our stock selection was good, software in general was a poor performer, and our exposure detracted from relative performance.
 
 
Seligman High-Yield Bond Portfolio

Investors displayed an increased appetite for risk in 2003, as funds flowed into high-yield securities. A pickup in the economy, a lower interest rate environment, and lower default rates all contributed to the increase in investor demand.
 
The US economy got off to a slow start in the first half of 2003, expanding at a 2-3% annualized rate, which is slightly less than its assumed potential of 3-4%. Consumption and capital spending were held back as businesses and consumers remained cautious going into the commencement of hostilities in Iraq. The economy began to accelerate in the second half of the year, with gross domestic product (GDP) growth reported at 8.2% in the third quarter of 2003. The economic acceleration was due at least in part to the high levels of monetary and fiscal stimulus from the low federal funds rate (1%) and the deficit spending by the federal government.

Intermediate interest rates finished the year slightly higher after dropping to 40-year lows in June. The temporary decline provided an incentive for many increased investor demand for higher-income products such as high-yield bonds. All of these factors contributed to the strong performance of high-yield bonds in 2003.

In the high-yield bond market, default rates generally declined throughout the year. This allowed credit spread premiums (which is the excess yield above comparable US Treasuries and represents investors’ compensation for taking default risk) to decline along with interest rates in the high-yield market. This, in turn, lifted high-yield bond prices higher.

In 2003, the Portfolio’s performance improved significantly over prior years and generally reflected the strong rally in high-yield bonds. The Portfolio began the year with an underweighting in the weakest companies with the lowest ratings and highest yields, sometimes referred to as defaulted or distressed securities. This was consistent with our outlook for sluggish economic growth and a possible war in Iraq. As it turned out, the economy did grow slowly in the first half of 2003, and war did break out in Iraq. However, high-yield investors heavily discounted these concerns, and the lowest-rated bonds outperformed the overall market in the first half of the year. The Portfolio had an underweighting in these distressed bonds, and this held back the Portfolio’s relative performance.

Toward mid-year, the Portfolio began increasing its exposure to economically sensitive industries that we believed would benefit from the eventual economic recovery, for example, chemicals, paper, and packaging. The Portfolio also increased its exposure to lower-rated companies with greater financial leverage, as well as to other riskier credits. We felt the significant monetary and fiscal stimulus, the falling dollar, rising consumer confidence and corporate spending, and a successful conclusion to the major hostilities in the Iraqi war would eventually lead to increased economic activity.

By the fourth quarter of 2003, the government’s economic data releases started to provide evidence of a strengthening economy. The financial markets reacted positively to this news and began to embrace the notion that a self-sustaining economic recovery was at hand, increasing demand for cyclical bonds. The Portfolio benefited from this secular rotation since we had an overweighted position in many of these bonds. For this reason, the Portfolio outperformed its peer group toward year-end, though not for the one-year period as a whole.

Seligman Income and Growth Portfolio


In 2003, the stock market seemed at long last to benefit from the accommodative fiscal and monetary policy of recent years. All sectors of the market posted positive gains for the year. Geopolitical tensions in the first quarter of the year weighed heavily on the market initially, but beginning in mid-March, the market began to see substantial upward momentum, which lasted throughout the remainder of the year. The combination of income

tax reductions, the decrease in the dividend tax, historically low interest rates, and the Federal Reserve Board’s expansion of the money supply was also positive for equities. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth improved markedly, particularly in the third quarter of 2003. In the fourth quarter of 2003, leading economic indicators appeared to be heading upward, as did industrial production.

With this stimulative backdrop, consumer spending continued strong in 2003, despite the downward trend of consumer sentiment prior to the Iraqi war. Furthermore, with the relatively swift end to major hostilities in Iraq, consumer sentiment was further bolstered. Meanwhile, lower interest rates were working in the consumer’s favor, as home mortgage refinancings continued to surge, also enhancing liquidity and spending.

 
The bond market began and ended 2003 at similar levels, but there was a great deal of volatility during the year. Bonds rallied in March during the run-up to the Iraqi war, but yields rose again after the war. In May, the Fed spoke about the possibility of disinflation (prices rising at a slower and slower pace), which is good for bonds and caused yields to decline to 40-year lows. In June, bond investors expected the Fed to announce an interest rate cut of 50 basis points; however, the cut was only 25 basis points. The bond market had priced in more concern than the Fed actually had, and yields started sharply back up before moderating by the end of the year.

Corporate bonds performed well in 2003, particularly lower-quality bonds whose spreads had reached almost exaggerated levels in the aftermath of the Enron and WorldCom scandals. Corporate spreads, compared to US government bonds, fell all year, and corporate bonds continue to perform well. In the equity portion of the Portfolio, performance was helped by holdings in the consumer discretionary sector, where we were overweighted and had good stock selection. This sector had strong fundamentals which, in our opinion, had not been recognized by the market. We took advantage of attractive valuations and overweighted the sector. This overweighting, coupled with sound stock selection, produced strong returns for the Portfolio as consumer discretionary outperformed other areas of the market.

Financial stocks were also a positive in terms of investment results. The Portfolio was overweighted in this sector, and outperformed relative to the benchmark S&P 500 in this area because of good stock selection.

The Portfolio’s investments in the information technology sector contributed significantly to performance on an absolute basis, as this was the best-performing sector in the S&P 500. However, many of the more speculative technology companies led the sector’s performance in 2003. Since the Portfolio does not typically invest in these types of companies, our relative performance lagged that sector of the S&P 500.

Investment results were penalized by an underweighting in the consumer staples sector. While the Portfolio’s holdings in the energy sector had good absolute performance, stock selection was not helpful. The telecommunications services sector, while representing only a small portion of the Portfolio, was a negative in terms of absolute and relative performance. The Portfolio’s holdings performed poorly during the first part of the year. Subsequently, this sector’s performance improved, but in the interim the Portfolio’s exposure had been reduced (and in September eliminated altogether), and thus overall returns were below the index in this area.

The fixed-income portion of the Portfolio outperformed the Lehman Government/Credit Index for the year. Exposure to BBB-rated corporate bonds in the first half of the year helped the Portfolio’s returns as these were strong performers. In May we decreased our exposure to corporate bonds, thinking the rally had run its course. Spreads did widen for about two weeks, then tightened again. In June we again increased exposure to corporate bonds and maintained it for the balance of the year, but we had missed some of the rally. As a result of interest rates reaching 40-year lows in the spring, we significantly shortened the Portfolio’s duration (a measure of price sensitivity to a change in interest rates) at the beginning of July, and when rates spiked up in July and moved sideways during the balance of the year, the Portfolio outperformed the Lehman benchmark.

Our exposure to mortgage bonds hurt performance in 2003. We had expected rates to be fairly stable, but mortgages underperform when there is a significant increase in interest rates, as we saw during the summer. However, toward the end of the year, the extra yield obtained through exposure to mortgages added to the Portfolio’s performance.

Seligman International Growth Portfolio††

During the past year, global economic prospects brightened, as business conditions and earnings slowly improved with each passing quarter. The US led the way, with stock prices rising with the end of major combat in Iraq, an improving US economy, and strengthening corporate earnings. European exporters suffered from the strength of the euro against the US dollar, and gains in European stocks lagged those of US stocks. The euro zone’s economic growth rate remained low despite some corporate earnings improvement. Additionally, Japan found favor with investors during the year, as its economy posted positive growth rates and the government seemed to move closer to making needed economic reforms.
 
The Portfolio’s holdings in the information technology, consumer discretionary, and materials sectors positively contributed to relative investment results. Stock selection in financials (particularly in the UK), and industrials detracted from performance. Holdings in the consumer staples and energy sectors detracted from performance. The Portfolio’s overweighting in consumer discretionary stocks was particularly helpful, as this sector performed well across geographic regions. Stock selection in Japan, South Korea, and Canada added to performance, and stock selection in Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain detracted.

We remained underweighted in financials, an area that continues to have overcapacity issues that remain to be addressed, and where it is generally difficult to find good companies that have above-market growth rates. We did, however, invest in a few banks in Japan on the premise that a stabilization of the banks’ loan portfolios and their improved outlook should drive their stock prices higher. Our analysis proved correct as the Japanese banks were a positive contributor to performance toward the end of the year. Strong stock selection in Brazil was also additive to performance.

Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income Portfolio

While long-term US Treasury bonds were relatively stable through May 2003, the rate for 10-year US Treasury bonds fell to a 40-year low of 3.13% in June before rising sharply at the end of June and July. The rate hit 4.61% on August 2 before closing the year at 4.27%. Corporate bonds displayed more volatility throughout the year. At the end of 2002, corporate spreads had been historically wide, but they fell significantly during the year. Corporate bonds performed well in 2003, particularly lower-quality bonds whose spreads had reached almost exaggerated levels in the aftermath of the Enron and WorldCom scandals. Spreads between these bonds and US Treasuries have since been more consistent with their historical averages. The Portfolio benefited from the rally in corporates since we had increased its weighting in lower-rated corporate bonds, and these bonds increased in price during this time. The Portfolio outperformed the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index for the year.
 
At the beginning of 2003, it appeared that the worst of the corporate scandals was over and spreads between corporate-bond and US Treasury yields began to tighten, reflecting the fact that the market perceived reduced risks within the corporate bond market. At this time, the Portfolio increased its weighting in lower-rated corporate bonds, which we believe would deliver strong performance, both with respect to yield and price. This change in positioning benefited the Portfolio as lower-rated corporate bonds increased in value to a greater degree than those with higher ratings during the first part of the year.

As the first calendar quarter of 2003 came to a close, we believed corporate bonds were unlikely to increase significantly in value. In particular, in the event the economic recovery was weak or delayed, we felt lower-rated corporate bonds would suffer. The Portfolio thus reduced its weighting in lower-rated corporate bonds in favor of mortgages, which provide a yield advantage over US Treasuries. While mortgages did deliver strong per-

formances relative to Treasuries, they underperformed lower-rated corporate bonds. (Mortgages underperform when there is a significant increase in interest rates, as we saw during the summer.) However, toward the end of the year, the extra yield obtained through exposure to mortgages began to add to the Portfolio’s performance. Finally, as we expected interest rates to rise, the Portfolio’s duration (a measure of price sensitivity to a change in interest rates) was significantly shortened, making the Portfolio less susceptible to declines in value resulting from increases in interest rates. When rates spiked up in July, for example, the Fund performed better than the Lehman Index.
  
Seligman Large-Cap Growth Portfolio

Market conditions and equity performance improved dramatically in 2003, responding favorably to improving geopolitical conditions and strong economic and corporate developments. The economy has now seen two years of positive growth, with the second and third quarters of 2003 posting accelerating annualized real rates of GDP growth of 3.1% and 8.2%, respectively. This recovery has primarily been fueled by historically low interest rates, positive fiscal policies, and highly accommodative monetary policies. Consumer spending remained strong, driven by reduced marginal tax rates, tax rebates, and a low interest rate environment that provided homeowners the opportunity to restructure debt, refinance existing mortgages, and tap into home equity. The low interest rate environment also allowed corporations to restructure balance sheets and refinance debt at much lower rates. Within this supportive environment, the Portfolio delivered strong returns.

 


The Portfolio has been positioned for economic recovery for some time. Beginning in the second quarter of 2002, we began anticipating economic recovery based on the belief that low interest rates, as well as supportive monetary and fiscal policies, would lead to improving financial conditions for business expansion. Corporate America, we believed, could refinance debt at sheet conditions, and providing working capital to raise production and supply when needed. In 2003, this positioning paid off.

The Portfolio had a large sector weighting in the area of information technology, and was overweighted relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Portfolio’s heavy investment in IT was beneficial in terms of both absolute and relative returns, since this was one of the best-performing sectors within the large-cap growth universe of stocks. Our overweighting and its outperformance as compared to the Russell benchmark was the primary factor behind the Portfolio’s strong performance versus the benchmark as a whole. The Portfolio was heavily weighted in technology during the fiscal year because of our faith in the economic recovery. We had identified other positive factors within the technology sector that made us favor these stocks, including reduced inventories, reduced excess manufacturing capacity, and new product cycles coming to market.

Health care was another of the Portfolio’s largest sector weightings, and the Portfolio was somewhat overweighted in this area versus the Russell benchmark. The Portfolio’s health care holdings delivered returns that were competitive with large-cap growth health care stocks, and the returns were strong on an absolute basis. However, health care stocks were relatively weak performers relative to the rest of the Russell Index.

The Portfolio’s decision to significantly underweight consumer staples paid off. However, the stocks we held in this area underperformed those of the Russell benchmark and the group thus made a negative contribution to relative portfolio returns. The Portfolio was also slightly underweighted in consumer discretionary stocks, which were underperformers within the Russell benchmark. The stocks the portfolio held in this group also underperformed the Russell benchmark.

Annual Performance Overview (unaudited)

Seligman Large-Cap Value Portfolio

After three consecutive negative years for the stock market, in 2003, we saw the markets and the economies of the world gain some positive direction. The continued easing by the Federal Reserve Board finally yielded results, but it was the end of major conflict in Iraq that was the main impetus for the strong market rally of the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2003. (During the first quarter of the year, the tensions surrounding the lead-up to war in Iraq made investors nervous and the stock market was volatile as a result.) Gross domestic product (GDP) growth improved markedly, particularly during the third quarter, suggesting that the US economic recovery was solid. The fiscal stimulus provided by the tax cut package was also important to investor confidence. Corporate earnings improved as well, and these factors contributed to an environment that proved to be highly favorable for equities.
 
At the beginning of 2003, we were of the opinion that improved corporate earnings would drive the stock market higher. We felt that earnings forecasts of double-digit gains would result in similar gains for stock prices. The Portfolio had a pro-cyclical tilt during the year, and overall performance benefited as a result. We ended the year with solid economic growth unfolding. Cyclical stocks anticipated the improvement in earnings, and, in general, these stocks performed very well.

The Portfolio’s performance during 2003 was strong, both on an absolute basis and relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Average. The Portfolio’s largest sector concentration was in financial stocks, and this sector contributed to performance; money center banks did particularly well during the year. Good stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector added significantly to performance, as the Portfolio’s holdings outperformed those of the Russell Index. Our retail and automobile holdings posted particularly strong gains. Stock selection was again a major factor in the utilities sector; the stock of a merchant energy holding posted impressive gains and contributed to the Portfolio’s strong absolute and relative performance in this sector.

The Portfolio maintained a sizable overweighting in the materials sector during the year, with our focus being on chemicals and paper and forest products. Once again, good stock selection contributed to the Portfolio’s outperformance versus the Russell Index in this area. Unlike the Russell Index, the Portfolio had no exposure to the telecommunications services sector. This underweighting was fortunate, as the sector was the weakest-performing area in the Russell Index during the period.

The Portfolio maintained a large overweighting in health care during the year, and the sector posted positive returns; however, health care was one of the weakest-performing areas of the Russell Index, and our exposure here detracted from relative performance. The energy sector contributed to the Portfolio’s performance on an absolute basis, but detracted from performance relative to the Russell Index due to stock selection.

Seligman Small-Cap Value Portfolio

The stock market posted strong results in 2003, due largely to: 1) the elimination of investor anxiety related to the Iraqi war, and 2) a robust economy brought about by the combination of stimulative monetary policy, tax cuts, and increased government spending. During the first two and a half months of 2003, the stock market was down amid fears related to war preparations and on the heels of nearly two years of negative earnings surprises. The balance of the year was characterized by strong GDP numbers, positive earnings estimate revisions, and improving consumer sentiment. Also important was a continuing weakening of the US dollar versus our major trading partners (though China’s currency is pegged to the dollar), which generally made US-manufactured products more competitive in the global markets. All of these improvements came in the absence of any pickup in inflation. In short, the environment for equities in general, and small-cap stocks in particular, was highly favorable. Small-cap stocks outperformed the broader market by a large margin, as they historically have following a protracted downturn in the economy.
 
At the beginning of 2003, the Portfolio was positioned to take advantage of the following themes: 1) an expected economic recovery, and 2) an undervaluation of specific health care stocks. We also sought to find attractive investment opportunities in the technology sector, as this sector had been in a bear market for nearly three straight years. Fortunately, the year played out as we anticipated, and the Portfolio’s performance, both relative and absolute, was strong.

Industrials were the Portfolio’s largest sector weighting; our overweighted position and good stock selection had a positive effect on performance. Our exposure to the health care sector, and in particular our large overweighting versus the Russell 2000 Value Index in this area, was a large contributor to Portfolio performance during the year. Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology holdings performed especially well. The Portfolio’s exposure to the information technology sector also helped performance significantly on an absolute basis, as this was one of the market’s best-performing sectors during 2003. The Portfolio’s semiconductor and electronic equipment holdings did well during this time. Additionally, good stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector, where the Portfolio maintained an overweighting and focused on specialty retailers, was a strong boost to performance on both a relative and absolute basis.

In the financials sector, the Portfolio’s absolute performance was positive, but stock selection took away from relative performance, as we underperformed the Russell Index in this sector. However, the Portfolio’s underweighting in financials helped, as this sector was not a particularly strong performer. Stock selection in the materials sector was also a drag on relative performance, though absolute performance in this sector was strong. The Portfolio underperformed the Russell Index in the consumer staples sector, which detracted from relative performance.

Investments in 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.

Non-income producing security.
††
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, formerly Seligman Income 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 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 classspecific 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 market 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 Depository Receipts (“ADR”), American Depository Shares (“ADS”), European Depository Receipts (“EDR”), Global Depository Receipts (“GDR”), and Global Depository 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, 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:
 
(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, 2003, was substantially the same as its cost.
 
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

 
 58

Notes to Financial Statements

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. Gains or losses from options written are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and foreign currency transactions. 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, 2003, 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 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.
 
i.
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 options, US Government obligations and shortterm investments, for the year ended December 31, 2003, were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2003, purchases and sales of US Government obligations were $3,759,762 and $3,991,875, respectively, for the Income and Growth Portfolio, and $23,642,896 and $26,403,353, respectively, for the Investment Grade Portfolio. Identified cost of investments sold is used for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.
  
At December 31, 2003, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes may be greater than the cost for financial reporting purposes, primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The tax basis cost and gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of portfolio securities, including the effects of foreign currency translations, were as follows:

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 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.
  
Effective September 15, 2003, in connection with engagement of a 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 equal to 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. Prior to September 15, 2003, the Manager’s fee for the Subadvised Portfolios was 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 amounts of these reimbursements, where applicable, for the year ended December 31, 2003, are disclosed in the Statements of Operations, and such amounts receivable from the Manager at December 31, 2003 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 was 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.
         
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, 2003, the Distributor earned fees of $3,116 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, 2003, fees incurred under the Plan aggregated $8,529, or 0.25% per annum; $22,594, or 0.25% per annum; $3,024 or 0.15% per annum; and $23,613 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. 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, 2003, 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.
Capital Loss Carryforwards and Other Tax Adjustments — At December 31, 2003, 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 fiscal years and amounts as follows:

As shown above, the Global Smaller Companies, Large-Cap Growth and Large-Cap Value Portfolios have elected to defer to January 1, 2004, the recognition for tax purposes of net losses realized on sales of investments after October 31, 2003. These post-October losses are available to offset future taxable net gains.

Committed Line of Credit — Effective January 16, 2004, all of the Portfolios, except the Cash Management Portfolio, are participants in a joint $445 million committed line of credit that is shared by substantially all open-end funds in the Seligman Group of Investment Companies. At December 31, 2003, the committed line of credit was $420 million. 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 2004, but is renewable annually with the consent of the participating banks. For the year ended December 31, 2003, none of the Portfolios borrowed from the credit facility.

10.
Other Matters — The Manager has been conducting an extensive internal review in response to recent developments regarding disruptive or illegal practices within the mutual fund industry. The Manager’s review noted one market timing relationship that 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 in September 2003. Additionally, the Manager identified three other market timing arrangements, all of which had been terminated, the most recent in September 2002. The Manager is confident that any financial impact of these arrangements on any Seligman Fund was minimal. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Attorney General of the State of New York also are reviewing these matters.
          
In connection with the Manager’s internal review, the Manager has also reviewed its practice of placing some of the Seligman Equity Funds’ orders to buy and sell portfolio securities with brokerage firms in recognition of their sales of Seligman Funds. This is a common practice and permissible when done properly. Although the Manager believes that the execution of all such orders was consistent with its best execution obligations, the Manager may have violated applicable requirements for certain of such orders as a result of compensation arrangements that the Distributor had with certain brokerage firms. The Manager is confident that the Seligman Equity Funds did not pay higher brokerage commissions than they would otherwise have paid for comparable transactions. The Manager is also responding to information requests from the SEC relating to the Manager’s use of revenue sharing and fund portfolio brokerage commissions.
          
The Independent Directors of the Board of the Fund have been reviewing, and will continue to review, the foregoing matters. If the Fund has incurred financial harm as a result of violations of law or internal policies by the Manager or its personnel, the Manager will make restitution to the Fund.

Financial Highlights

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 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 Auditors
 

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 (formerly, Seligman Income Portfolio), Seligman International Growth Portfolio, Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income 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, 2003, 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 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, 2003, 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, 2003, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

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.

(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.
