The percentage shown for each state represents the total market value of bonds held of issuers in that state, measured as a percent of net assets, which does not include the net assets attributable to Preferred Stock of the Fund.

 

 

Credit ratings are primarily those issued by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”). Where Moody’s ratings have not been assigned, ratings from Standard & Poor’s Rating Securities (“S&P”) were used (indicated by the symbol ‡). Pre-refunded and escrowed-to-maturity securities that have been rerated as AAA by S&P but have not been rerated by Moody’s have been reported as AAA.

 

 

††

Escrowed-to-maturity security.

 

 

ø

Pre-refunded security. Such securities that will be paid off within one year are classified as short-term holdings.

 

 

*

Interest income earned from this security is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

VRDN (variable rate demand notes) purchased by the Fund may be put back to the designated remarketing agent for the issue at par on any day, for settlement within seven days, and, accordingly, are treated as short-term holdings. These notes bear interest at a rate that resets daily or weekly. At March 31, 2008, the interest rates earned on these notes ranged from 0.80% to 1.75%.

At March 31, 2008 the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $215,516, 360. The tax basis gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of portfolio securities were $4,711,858 and $2,541,965, respectively. Net unrealized appreciation was $2,169,893.

Security Valuation — Traded securities are valued at the last sales price on the primary market on which they are traded. Securities for which there is no last sales price are valued by independent pricing services based on bid prices which consider such factors as transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities, or are valued by J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated, the Fund’s Manager, based on quotations provided by primary market makers in such securities. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (or are otherwise no longer valid or reliable) are valued at fair value determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Directors. 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 maturing 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.



Fair Value Measurement - On January 1, 2008, the Fund 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 (see Security Valuation above) to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments; Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in inactive markets or for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the value of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2008 based on the level of inputs used:

Risk — Fixed-income securities owned by the Fund are subject to the interest-rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, and market risk. To the extent that the Fund concentrates its investments in municipal securities issued by a single state and its municipalities, specific events or factors affecting a particular state may have an impact on the municipal securities of that state without affecting the municipal market in general. For insured bonds, credit risk includes the risk that the issuer and the insurer would be unable to make, or timely make, interest and principal payments.
