On January 1, 2007, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 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. 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, 2007.
The Fund has an Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to distribution of its shares. Under the Plan, with respect to Class A shares, service organizations can enter into agreements with Seligman Advisors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) and receive a continuing fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of Class A shares, attributable to the particular
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
service organizations for providing personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor, and likewise the Fund, did not make payments under the Plan with respect to Class A shares during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Under the Plan, with respect to Class B shares, Class C shares issued in exchange from another Seligman mutual fund, Class D shares and Class R shares, service organizations can enter into agreements with the Distributor and receive a continuing fee for providing personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts of up to 0.25% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of the Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class R shares for which the organizations are responsible; and, for Class C, Class D, and Class R shares, fees for providing other distribution assistance of up to 0.75% (0.25%, in the case of Class R shares) on an annual basis of such average daily net assets. Such fees are paid monthly by the Fund to the Distributor pursuant to the Plan.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, fees incurred under the Plan, equivalent to 1%, 0.74%, 1% and 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class R shares, respectively, amounted to $42,009, $14,822, $63,721 and $1,181, respectively.
The Distributor and Seligman Services, Inc., each an affiliate of the Manager, are eligible to receive distribution and service (12b-1) fees pursuant to the Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Distributor and Seligman Services, Inc. received distribution and service (12b-1) fees of $2,468.
The Distributor is entitled to retain any CDSC imposed on certain redemptions of Class A, Class C, Class D, and Class R shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, such charges amounted to $5,797. The Distributor has sold its rights to third parties to collect any CDSC imposed on redemptions of Class B shares.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Seligman Data Corp., owned by the Fund and certain associated investment companies, charged the Fund at cost $257,235 for shareholder account services in accordance with a methodology approved by the Fund’s directors. Class I shares receive more limited shareholder services than the Fund’s other classes of shares (the “Retail Classes”). Seligman Data Corp. does not allocate to Class I the costs of any of its departments that do not provide services to the Class I shareholders.
Costs of Seligman Data Corp. directly attributable to the Retail Classes of the Fund were charged to those classes in proportion to their respective net asset values. Costs directly attributable to Class I shares were charged to Class I. The remaining charges were allocated to the Retail Classes and Class I by Seligman Data Corp. pursuant to a formula based on their net assets, shareholder transaction volumes and number of shareholder accounts.
The Fund and certain other associated investment companies (together, the “Guarantors”) have severally but not jointly guaranteed the performance and observance of all the terms and conditions of two leases entered into by Seligman Data Corp., including the payment of rent by Seligman Data Corp. (the “Guaranties”). The leases and the related Guaranties expire in September 2008 and January 2019, respectively. The obligation of the Fund to pay any amount due under the Guaranties is limited to a specified percentage of the full amount, which generally is based on the Fund’s percentage of the expenses billed by Seligman Data Corp. to all Guarantors in the most recent calendar quarter. As of June 30, 2007, the Fund’s potential obligation under the Guaranties is $257,800. As of June 30, 2007, no event has occurred which would result in the Fund becoming liable to make any payment under the Guaranties. A portion of the rent paid by Seligman Data Corp. is charged to the Fund as part of Seligman Data Corp.’s shareholder account services cost.

5. | | Other Matters — In late 2003, the Manager conducted an extensive internal review in response to public announcements concerning frequent trading in shares of open-end mutual funds. As of September 2003, the Manager had one arrangement that permitted frequent trading in the Seligman registered investment companies (the “Seligman Funds”). This arrangement was in the process of being closed down by the Manager before the first proceedings relating to trading practices within the mutual fund industry were publicly announced. Based on a review of the Manager’s records for 2001 through 2003, the Manager identified three other arrangements that had permitted frequent trading in the Seligman Funds. All three had already been terminated prior to the end of September 2002. |
The results of the Manager’s internal review were presented to the Independent Directors of all Seligman Funds. In order to resolve matters with the Independent Directors relating to the four arrangements that permitted frequent trading, the Manager, in May 2004, made payments to three mutual funds and agreed to waive a portion of its management fee with respect to another mutual fund (none of which was Seligman Cash Management Fund).
Beginning in February 2004, the Manager was in discussions with the New York staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Office of the New York Attorney General (“Attorney General”) in connection with their review of frequent trading in certain of the Seligman Funds. No late trading is involved. This review was apparently stimulated by the Manager’s voluntary public disclosure of the
12
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
foregoing arrangements in January 2004. In March 2005, negotiations to settle the matter were initiated by the New York staff of the SEC. After several months of negotiations, tentative agreement was reached, both with the New York staff of the SEC and the Attorney General, on the financial terms of a settlement. However, settlement discussions with the Attorney General ended when the Attorney General sought to impose operating conditions on the Manager that were unacceptable to the Manager, would have applied in perpetuity and were not requested or required by the SEC. Subsequently, the New York staff of the SEC indicated that, in lieu of moving forward under the terms of the tentative financial settlement, the staff was considering recommending to the Commissioners of the SEC the instituting of a formal action against the Manager, the Distributor, and Seligman Data Corp. (together, “Seligman”).
Seligman believes that any action would be both inappropriate and unnecessary, especially in light of the fact that Seligman previously resolved the underlying issue with the Independent Directors of the Seligman Funds and made recompense to the affected Seligman Funds.
Immediately after settlement discussions with the Attorney General ended, the Attorney General issued subpoenas to certain of the Seligman Funds and their directors. The subpoenas sought various Board materials and information relating to the deliberations of the Independent Directors as to the advisory fees paid by the Seligman Funds to the Manager. The Manager objected to the Attorney General’s seeking of such information and, on September 6, 2005, filed suit in federal district court seeking to enjoin the Attorney General from pursuing a fee inquiry. Seligman believes that the Attorney General’s inquiry is improper because Congress has vested exclusive regulatory oversight of investment company advisory fees in the SEC.
At the end of September 2005, the Attorney General indicated that it intended to file an action at some time in the future alleging, in substance, that the Manager permitted other persons to engage in frequent trading other than the arrangements described above and, as a result, the prospectus disclosure of the Seligman Funds is and has been misleading.
On September 26, 2006, the Attorney General commenced a civil action in New York State Supreme Court against J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated. Seligman Advisors, Inc., Seligman Data Corp. and Brian T. Zino (President of the Manager and the Seligman Funds), reiterating, in substance, the foregoing claims and various other related matters. The Attorney General also claims that the fees charged by Seligman are excessive. The Attorney General is seeking damages and restitution, disgorgement, penalties and costs (collectively, “Damages”), including Damages of at least $80 million relating to alleged timing occurring in the Seligman Funds and disgorgement of profits and management fees, and injunctive relief. Seligman and Mr. Zino believe that the claims are without merit and intend to defend themselves vigorously.
Any resolution of these matters with regulatory authorities may include, but not be limited to, sanctions, penalties, injunctions regarding Seligman, restitution to mutual fund shareholders or changes in procedures. Any Damages will be paid by Seligman and not by the Seligman Funds. If Seligman is unsuccessful in its defense of these proceedings, it and its affiliates could be barred from providing services to the Seligman Funds, including serving as an investment adviser for the Seligman Funds and principal underwriter for the open-end Seligman Funds. If these results occur, Seligman will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it and its affiliates to continue to provide services to the Seligman Funds. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted.
Seligman does not believe that the foregoing legal action or other possible actions should have a material adverse impact on Seligman or the Seligman Funds; however, there can be no assurance of this, or that these matters and any related publicity will not result in reduced demand for shares of the Seligman Funds or other adverse consequences.

6. | | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement — In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 but believes the impact will be limited to expanded disclosures in the Fund’s financial statements. |
