Seligman Portfolios, Inc.

Dear Contract Owner:

The mid-year shareholder report for Seligman Portfolios, Inc. (the “Fund”) follows this letter. The report contains each Portfolio’s investment results, portfolio of investments, and financial statements as of June 30, 2008.

On July 7, 2008, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (“Ameriprise”) announced an agreement to acquire J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (“Seligman”), the Fund’s Manager, in a transaction that is likely to close in the fourth quarter of 2008. Consummation of Ameriprise’s acquisition of Seligman will result in Seligman becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of RiverSource Investments, LLC (“RiverSource”), a subsidiary of Ameriprise, and a change of control of Seligman and an assignment and automatic termination of the Fund’s management agreements with Seligman, as well as the sub-advisory agreement between Seligman and Wellington Management Company, LLP (the “Subadviser”), with regard to Seligman International Growth Portfolio. On July 29, 2008, the Board of the Fund approved, with respect to the Portfolios, new advisory agreements with RiverSource, a new administration agreement with Ameriprise, and a new sub-advisory agreement between RiverSource and the Subadviser with regard to Seligman International Growth Portfolio. The new advisory and sub-advisory agreements will be presented to the shareholders of each Portfolio for their approval.

Thank you for your continued support of Seligman Portfolios.

Respectfully,

Performance and Portfolio Overview

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

Performance data quoted in this report represents past performance and does not guarantee or indicate future investment results. The rates of return will vary and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Total returns of the Fund as of the most recent month-end will be available at www.seligman.com1 by the seventh business day following that month-end. Calculations assume reinvestment of distributions, if any. Returns for Class 1 and Class 2 shares are calculated without any sales charges. Performance data quoted are net of all portfolio operating expenses, but do not include any charges imposed on contract owners by the insurance companies’ separate account or by any pension or retirement plan. If these additional charges were included, performance would have been lower. Total returns do not reflect any fees or charges that investors will incur in purchasing or selling units of the Variable Accounts.

For certain Portfolios, J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (the “Manager”) has voluntarily undertaken to waive its management fee and/or to reimburse expenses. Such waived reimbursement can be discontinued at any time at the Manager’s discretion, except in the case of Seligman International Growth Portfolio, for which the undertaking is contractual through at least April 30, 2009. Other fee waiver/reimbursement arrangements were in effect prior to these current arrangements. Absent such waiver/reimbursement, returns would have been lower. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements on page 39 of this report for additional information.

An investment in the Portfolios is subject to certain risks, including the possible loss of principal. There are specific risks associated with global investing, such as currency fluctuation, foreign taxation, differences in financial reporting practices, and rapid changes in political and economic conditions. Investing on one economic sector, such as technology, may be subject to greater price fluctuations than a portfolio of diversified investments. A portfolio with fewer holdings may be subject to greater volatility than a portfolio with a greater number of holdings. The stocks of smaller companies may be subject to above-average price fluctuations. An investment in a Portfolio is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Prior to March 31, 2000, the Manager employed subadvisers that were responsible for providing all or a portion of the portfolio management services with respect to the investments of Seligman Global Technology Portfolio and Seligman International Growth Portfolio. For the period following, until September 15, 2003, in the case of Seligman International Growth Portfolio, the assets of these Portfolios were managed exclusively by the Manager. Since September 15, 2003, Wellington Management Company, LLP has acted as subadviser to provide portfolio management services for Seligman International Growth Portfolio. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements on page 39 of this report for additional information.

Understanding and Comparing

Your Portfolio’s Expenses

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

The table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of January 1, 2008 and held for the entire six-month period ended June 30, 2008.

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

*   Expenses of Class 2 shares differ from the expenses of Class 1 shares due to the differences in 12b-1 fees paid. See the Fund’s prospectus for a description of each share class and its expenses. The Manager has undertaken to reimburse expenses (other than management and 12b-1 fees, interest on borrowings, and extraordinary expenses, including litigation expenses) that exceed a certain rate per annum of the average daily net assets of certain Portfolios. Absent such reimbursement, the expense ratios and expenses paid for the period would have been higher. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements on page 39 of this report for additional information.
**   Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio based on actual expenses for the period January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (number of days in the period).

1. Organization — Seligman Portfolios, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company consisting of 9 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 Global Technology Portfolio (“Global Technology Portfolio”), Seligman International Growth Portfolio (“International Growth Portfolio”), Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income Portfolio (“Investment Grade Portfolio”), Seligman Large-Cap Value Portfolio (“Large-Cap Value Portfolio”), and Seligman Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio (“Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio”), each designed to meet different investment goals. Shares of the Fund are provided as an investment medium for variable annuity and life insurance separate accounts offered by various insurance companies. Class 2 shares of the Communications and Information Portfolio are also offered to qualified pension or retirement plans.

 

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

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies — The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

 

  a. Security Valuation and Risk — Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities traded on an exchange are valued at the last sales price on the primary exchange or market on which they are traded. Fixed income securities not listed on an exchange or security market are valued by independent pricing services based on bid prices which consider such factors as coupons, maturities, credit ratings, liquidity, specific terms and features, and the US Treasury yield curve, or are valued by J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (the “Manager”) based on quotations provided by primary market makers in such securities. Equity securities not listed on an exchange or security market, or equity securities for which there is no last sales price, are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices or are valued by the Manager based on quotations provided by primary market makers in such securities. Notwithstanding these valuation methods, the Global Technology Portfolio and International Growth Portfolio may adjust the value of securities as described below in order to reflect the fair value of such securities.

Many securities markets and exchanges outside the US close prior to the close of the NYSE; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after the local market close but before the close of the NYSE. The Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved fair value procedures under which a third-party pricing service on a regular basis recommends adjustments to the local closing prices of certain foreign equity securities. The adjustments are based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship between the price movements of a security and independent variables such as US market movements, sector movements, movements in the ADR of a security (if any), and movements in country or regional exchange-traded funds or futures contracts. The factors used vary with each security, depending on which factors have been most important historically.

Other securities for which market quotations are not readily available (or are otherwise no longer valid or reliable) are valued at fair value determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board. This can occur in the event of, among other things, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, market disruptions, intra-day trading halts and extreme market volatility. The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair value to price a security may result in a price materially different from the prices used by other mutual funds to determine net asset value or the price that may be realized upon the actual sale of the security.

Short-term holdings that mature in 60 days or less are valued at current market quotations or amortized cost if the Manager believes it approximates fair value. Short-term holdings that mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations until the 60th day prior to maturity and are then valued as described above for securities maturing in 60 days or less.

Investments held by the Cash Management Portfolio are generally valued using the amortized cost method which approximates fair value. Investments of certain other funds in the Seligman Group of Investment Companies purchased by the Cash Management Portfolio to offset its liability for deferred directors’ fees are valued at net asset values or, for closed-end funds, closing market prices.

On January 1, 2008, the Portfolios adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to classify the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques (as described above) to measure fair value of the Portfolios’ investments and other financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments or financial instruments; Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in inactive markets or for similar investments or financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining fair value) (Note 4). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

The following risks apply to some or all of the Portfolios. A Portfolio may concentrate its investments in stocks of large-, medium- or small-capitalization companies. At times, one or more of these groups of stocks has experienced periods of volatility and negative performance. During such periods, the value of such stocks may decline and the performance of a Portfolio investing in such companies may be negatively affected. The products of technology companies may be subject to severe competition and rapid obsolescence, and technology stocks may be subject to greater price fluctuation, government regulation, and limited liquidity as compared to other investments. To the extent that a Portfolio invests a substantial percentage of its assets in an industry, the Portfolio’s performance may be negatively affected if that industry falls out of favor. A portfolio with fewer holdings may be subject to greater volatility than a portfolio with a greater number of holdings. US Government and fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and market risk. Securities that are not guaranteed by the US Government may have increased credit risk, including, but not limited to, the risk of non-payment of principal or interest. A Portfolio may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. Continuing shifts in the market’s perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market prices and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain issuers held by such Portfolio. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults.

 

  b. Foreign Securities — Investments in foreign securities are subject to certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, foreign taxation, differences in financial reporting practices, and rapid changes in political and economic conditions. Investments in foreign securities will be traded primarily in foreign currencies, and certain Portfolios may temporarily hold funds in foreign currencies. 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 losses. 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.

The Portfolios do not isolate 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, the Portfolios do not isolate 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. Such fluctuations are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency transactions.

 

  c. Equity-Linked Notes — The Portfolios may purchase notes created by a counterparty, typically an investment bank. The notes bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. At maturity, the notes must be exchanged for an amount based on the value of one or more equity securities (“Underlying Stocks”) of third party issuers. The exchange value may be limited to an amount less than the actual value of the Underlying Stocks at the maturity date. Any difference between the exchange amount and the original cost of the notes will be a gain or loss.

 

  d. Securities Purchased and Sold on a TBA Basis — The Portfolios may purchase or sell securities (typically mortgage-backed securities) on a to-be-announced (TBA) basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at fair value in accordance with the procedures for security valuation described above. The Portfolios segregate securities as collateral for their obligations to purchase TBA mortgage securities.

 

  e. Mortgage Dollar Rolls — The Portfolios may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions using TBAs in which a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a counterparty and simultaneously enters into an agreement with the same counterparty to buy back a similar security on a specific future date at a predetermined price. Each mortgage dollar roll is treated as a sale and purchase transaction, with any gain or loss recognized at the time of each sale. The Portfolio may be exposed to market or credit risk if the price of the security changes unfavorably or the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the agreement.

 

  f. Options — Each Portfolio, other than Cash Management Portfolio and Investment Grade Portfolio, is authorized to write and purchase put and call options. When a Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolio is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires (or the Portfolio enters into a closing transaction), the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received). The Portfolio, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.

 

  g. Repurchase Agreements — The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements. Generally, securities received as collateral subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the Portfolio’s custodians and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase price, plus accrued interest, at all times. On a daily basis, the market value of securities held as collateral for repurchase agreements is monitored to ensure the existence of the proper level of collateral.

  h. Restricted Cash — Restricted cash represents deposits that are being held by banks as collateral for letters of credit issued in connection with the Fund’s insurance policies.

 

  i. Forward Currency Contracts — Each Portfolio, other than Cash Management Portfolio and Investment Grade Portfolio, 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 of investments and forward currency transactions. 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 on investments and 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.

 

  j. 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 six months ended June 30, 2008, 12b-1 fees were the only class-specific expenses.

 

  k. 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 a Portfolio is informed of the dividend.

 

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

 

  m. 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.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” requires the Fund to recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) on an income tax return if such position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. Based upon its review of tax positions, the Fund has determined that FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

5. 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 and Investment Grade Portfolios’ average daily net assets; and equal to 0.75%, on an annual basis, of Communications and Information 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 of the Portfolio. The Manager’s fee for the Large-Cap Value Portfolio is equal to 0.80% per annum of the first $500 million of average daily net assets, 0.70% per annum of the next $500 million of average daily net assets, and 0.60% per annum in excess of $1 billion of average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Manager’s fee for the Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio is equal to 1.00% per annum of the first $500 million of average daily net assets, 0.90% per annum of the next $500 million of average daily net assets, and 0.80% per annum in excess of $1 billion of average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Manager’s fee for the International Growth Portfolio is equal to 1.00% per annum on the first $50 million of average daily net assets, 0.95% per annum on the next $1 billion of average daily net assets, and 0.90% per annum in excess of $1.05 billion of average daily net assets of the Portfolio.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the management fees for Global Technology Portfolio, International Growth Portfolio, Large-Cap Value Portfolio, and Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio were equal to 1.00%, 1.00%, 0.80%, and 1.00%, respectively, per annum of the average daily net assets of each of these Portfolios. (Note 14)

Wellington Management Company, LLP (the “Subadviser”), is the subadviser to the International Growth Portfolio and is responsible for furnishing investment advice, research and assistance. Under the subadvisory agreement, the Manager pays the Subadviser a subadvisory fee determined as follows: the Subadviser receives 0.45% on the first $50 million of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets and 0.40% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $50 million.

The Manager has undertaken to waive its management fees and/or reimburse certain Portfolios’ expenses to the extent that such Portfolios’ “other expenses” (i.e. those expenses other than management fees, 12b-1 fees, interest on borrowings, and extraordinary expenses, including litigation expenses), exceed a certain rate per annum of the average daily net assets of the following Portfolios:

 

Portfolio    Rate      Portfolio    Rate  
Cash Management    0.30 %    International Growth    1.00 %
Global Technology    0.90      Investment Grade    0.45  

Such reimbursements may be terminated at any time, except in the case of International Growth Portfolio, the undertaking for which is contractual and will remain in effect through at least April 30, 2009.

The amounts of these reimbursements, where applicable, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, are disclosed in the Statements of Operations, and such amounts receivable from the Manager at June 30, 2008 are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Compensation of all officers of the Fund, all directors of the Fund who are employees of the Manager, and all personnel of the Fund and the Manager is paid by the Manager. Seligman Advisors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Manager, acts as distributor of shares of the Fund.

Under an Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the Fund with respect to Class 2 shares of each Portfolio, insurance companies or their affiliates can enter into agreements with the Distributor and receive 12b-1 fees of up to 0.25%, on an annual basis, of the average daily net assets of Class 2 shares attributable to the particular insurance company or qualified plan for providing, among other things, personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Such fees are paid quarterly by each Portfolio to Seligman Advisors pursuant to the Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, fees incurred under the Plan aggregated $6,329 or 0.25% per annum; $21,041 or 0.25% per annum; $1,738 or 0.15% per annum; and $32,763 or 0.19% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class 2 shares of Capital Portfolio, Communications and Information Portfolio, Global Technology Portfolio and Smaller-Cap Value Portfolio, respectively. On July 16, 2008, the Board approved an increase in 12b-1 fees for Global Technology and Smaller-Cap Value Portfolios. Effective October 1, 2008, the 12b-1 fees will be 0.25% per annum.

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 certain other funds in the Seligman Group of Investment Companies. Deferred fees and related accrued earnings are not deductible by the Fund for federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid. The cost of such fees and the earnings/loss accrued thereon is included in directors’ fees and expenses, and the accumulated balances thereof at June 30, 2008, are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities as follows:

 

Portfolio    Amount    Portfolio    Amount    Portfolio    Amount
Capital    $ 817    Communications and Information    $ 1,079    Investment Grade    $   767

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, purchases and sales of US Government obligations were $1,446,442 and $1,306,532, respectively, for the Investment Grade Portfolio.

 

7. Federal Tax Information — Certain components of income, expense and realized capital gain and loss are recognized at different times or have a different character for federal income tax purposes and for financial reporting purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value per share of any Portfolio. As a result of the differences described above, the treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes.

The tax basis information presented is based on operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and will vary from the final tax information as of the Fund’s year end.

The tax basis cost of certain Portfolios was greater than the cost for financial reporting purposes primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. At June 30, 2008, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes for each Portfolio was as follows:

 

Portfolio    Tax Basis Cost      Portfolio    Tax Basis Cost
Capital    $ 9,973,200      International Growth    $ 3,098,499
Common Stock      5,190,327      Investment Grade      2,074,074
Communications and Information      49,518,678      Large-Cap Value      2,416,315
Global Technology      5,954,136      Smaller-Cap Value      135,239,337

The tax basis components of accumulated earnings (losses) at June 30, 2008 are presented below. Undistributed ordinary income primarily consists of net investment income and net realized short-term gain.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

At December 31, 2007, the Portfolios listed below 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 future net capital gains have been realized in excess of the available capital loss carryforwards. There is no assurance that any Portfolio will be able to utilize all of its capital loss carryforwards before they expire. These loss carryforwards expire in amounts and fiscal years as follows:

10.   Committed Line of Credit — All of the Portfolios, except the Cash Management Portfolio, are participants in a joint $200 million committed line of credit that is shared by substantially all open-end funds in the Seligman Group of Investment Companies. The directors have currently limited each Portfolio’s borrowings to 10% of its net assets. Borrowings pursuant to the credit facility are subject to interest at a rate equal to the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%. Each participating Portfolio incurs a commitment fee of 0.12% 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 2009, but is renewable annually with the consent of the participating banks. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Fund did not borrow from the credit facility.

12.   Other Matters — In late 2003, the Manager conducted an extensive internal review concerning mutual fund trading practices. The Manager’s review, which covered the period 2001-2003, noted one arrangement that permitted frequent trading in certain open-end registered investment companies managed by the Manager (the “Seligman Funds”); this arrangement was in the process of being closed down by the Manager before September 2003. The Manager identified three other arrangements that permitted frequent trading, all of which had been terminated by September 2002. In January 2004, the Manager, on a voluntary basis, publicly disclosed these four arrangements to its clients and to shareholders of the Seligman Funds. The Manager also provided information concerning mutual fund trading practices to the SEC and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York (“NYAG”).

In September 2005, the New York staff of the SEC indicated that it was considering recommending to the Commissioners of the SEC the instituting of a formal action against the Manager and the Distributor relating to frequent trading in the Seligman Funds. The Manager responded to the staff in October 2005 that it believed that any action would be both inappropriate and unnecessary, especially in light of the fact that the Manager had previously resolved the underlying issue with the Independent Directors of the Seligman Funds and made recompense to the affected Seligman Funds.

In September 2006, the NYAG commenced a civil action in New York State Supreme Court against the Manager, the Distributor, Seligman Data Corp. (shareholder service agent and affiliate of certain registered companies managed by the Manager) and Brian T. Zino (collectively, the “Seligman Parties”), alleging, in substance, that, in addition to the four arrangements noted above, the Seligman Parties permitted other persons to engage in frequent trading and, as a result, the prospectus disclosure used by the registered investment companies managed by the Manager is and has been misleading. The NYAG included other related claims and also claimed that the fees charged by the Manager to the Seligman Funds were excessive. The NYAG is seeking damages of at least $80 million and restitution, disgorgement, penalties and costs and injunctive relief. The Seligman Parties answered the complaint in December 2006 and believe that the claims are without merit.

Any resolution of these matters may include the relief noted above or other sanctions or changes in procedures. Any damages would be paid by the Manager and not by the Seligman Funds. If the NYAG obtains injunctive relief, the Manager and its affiliates could, in the absence of the SEC in its discretion granting exemptive relief, be enjoined from providing advisory and underwriting services to the Seligman Funds and other registered investment companies.

The Manager does not believe that the foregoing legal action or other possible actions will have a material adverse impact on the Manager or its clients, including the Seligman Funds and other investment companies managed by it; however, there can be no assurance of this or that these matters and any related publicity will not affect demand for shares of the Seligman Funds and such other investment companies or have other adverse consequences.

13.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (“SFAS 161”), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 161 on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

 

14.   Subsequent Events — On July 7, 2008, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (“Ameriprise”) announced an agreement to acquire the Manager in a transaction that is likely to close in the fourth quarter of 2008. Under the 1940 Act, consummation of Ameriprise’s acquisition of the Manager will result in the Manager becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of RiverSource Investments, LLC (“RiverSource”), a subsidiary of Ameriprise, and a change of control of the Manager and an assignment and automatic termination of the Fund’s management agreements with the Manager, as well as the sub-advisory agreement between the Manager and the Subadviser with regard to Seligman International Growth Portfolio. On July 29, 2008, the Fund’s Board approved, with respect to the Portfolios, new advisory agreements with RiverSource, a new administration agreement with Ameriprise, and a new sub-advisory agreement between RiverSource and the Subadviser with regard to the International Growth Portfolio. The new advisory and subadvisory agreements will be presented to the shareholders of each Portfolio for their approval.
