Seligman
141 Years of Investment Experience
J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated is a firm with a long tradition of investment expertise, offering a broad array of investment choices to help today’s investors seek their long-term financial goals.
Established in 1864, Seligman has a history of providing financial services marked not by fanfare, but rather by a quiet and firm adherence to financial prudence. While the world has changed dramatically in the 141 years since Seligman first opened its doors, the firm has continued to offer its clients high-quality investment solutions through changing times.
In the late 19th century, as the country grew, Seligman helped finance the westward expansion of the railroads, the construction of the Panama Canal, and the launching of urban transit systems. In the early 20th century, the firm helped fund the growing capital needs of new industries, including the nascent automobile and steel industries.
With the formation of Tri-Continental Corporation in 1929 — today, one of the nation’s largest diversified publicly-traded closed-end investment companies —Seligman began shifting its emphasis to investment management. In 1930, Seligman established what would be the first in an impressive lineup of mutual funds.
Seligman is proud of its distinctive past and of the traditional values that continue to shape the firm’s business decisions and investment judgment. While much has changed over the years, the firm’s commitment to providing prudent investment management that seeks to build wealth for clients over time is an enduring value that will continue to guide Seligman.

Interview With Your Portfolio Manager
Charles W. Kadlec
Q: | How did Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series, Inc. perform for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004? |
A: | For the year ended December 31, 2004, based on the net asset value of Class A shares, Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund delivered a total return of 15.49%, Seligman Time Horizon 20 Fund delivered 15.34%, Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund delivered 12.79%, and Seligman Harvester Fund delivered 9.90%. During the same time, the US stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index, delivered a total return of 10.87%, and the US bond market, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index, delivered a return of 4.19%. |
Q: | What market conditions and events materially affected the Funds’ performances during the period? |
A: | During the period under review, markets around the world benefited from accelerating global growth, continued low interest rates and the spread of economic freedom as barriers to trade and growth continued to dissolve in a host of countries. International markets, particularly emerging markets, generally outperformed those in the US, and all the Funds in the Series benefited from international exposure. Returns for US investors in foreign markets were also boosted by the rising value of other currencies, particularly the euro and the yen, versus the US dollar. |
In the US, gains were restrained for most of the year by rising energy prices, the uncertainty created by a close US presidential race, and concerns about rising interest rates. Technology stocks were further hampered in the third quarter by some disappointing earnings announcements delivered within the software industry. | |
This created a difficult investment environment for the Funds for most of the year. The fourth quarter, however, saw a strong and broad market rally, which was driven, we believe, by a sharp decline in oil prices at the end of October, and was given a further boost by a quick and decisive conclusion to the presidential election in November. The year ended with strong gains for US stocks as a whole, and all the Funds in the Series benefited from this rally. Fixed-income investments delivered more modest returns than equities in 2004. This subdued performance primarily affected the returns of Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund and Harvester Fund. The best-performing bonds were high-yield bonds as investors were willing to assume greater credit risk in exchange for more yield. Both Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund and Harvester Fund benefited from having some of their fixed-income investments allocated to high-yield bonds. | |
Q: | What investment strategies or techniques materially affected the Funds’ performances during the period? |
A: | We maintain research-based target allocations for all the Funds in the Series and avoid short term or tactical shifts in portfolio weightings. As a result of this investment philosophy, the Funds in the Series all benefited from allocations to a number of asset classes that performed well during the year, particularly global and international equities. This investment philosophy also resulted in several allocations that produced positive returns yet underperformed relative to the general market, including large-cap growth, mid-cap growth, and fixed income. |
Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund had the greatest exposure to overseas equities, with emphasis on the particularly well-performing areas of emerging markets and global smaller companies, and so benefited the most from international exposure. While Seligman Harvester Fund maintained the lowest international exposure, with no exposure to Seligman Emerging Markets Fund and Seligman Global Smaller Companies Fund, it was still well-diversified in international large-company equities, which greatly benefited its performance during this time. | |

Interview With Your Portfolio Manager
Charles W. Kadlec
The Funds all benefited from their exposure to US equities. In particular, the Time Horizon 30, Time Horizon 20, and Time Horizon 10 Funds benefited from strong performance by Seligman Small-Cap Value Fund, Seligman Frontier Fund, and Seligman Communications and Information Fund, which significantly outperformed technology stocks as a whole but slightly trailed the broad market’s performance. The Harvester Fund, which as the most conservative of the Funds has no exposure to small-cap or technology stocks, benefited from an allocation to Seligman Common Stock Fund. Seligman Large-Cap Value Fund made a significant positive contribution to all Funds in the Series. Seligman Growth Fund and Seligman Capital Fund each trailed the broad market but delivered positive contributions to all Funds.
Although fixed-income markets lagged equity markets overall in 2004, exposure to bonds generated positive returns for Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund and Seligman Harvester Fund. Especially beneficial for both funds were allocations to Seligman High-Yield Bond Series, which allowed them to take advantage of the rally in high-yield bonds that took place in 2004. Seligman Harvester Fund received small but positive returns from its allocations to Seligman Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund and Seligman U.S. Government Securities Series.
Seligman Harvester Fund and Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund also benefited from the addition of the Seligman LaSalle Monthly Dividend Real Estate Fund in the fourth quarter of the year. This new allocation gave the Funds exposure to the equity real estate investment trust (REIT) asset class, which delivered strong performance for the quarter. In addition to total return, the addition of this asset class provided additional diversification and income potential, especially for the Harvester Fund. The addition of the REIT asset class was the result of our extensive and in-depth research into including REITs as part of an overall portfolio. This reflects our belief that a continual analysis of historical performance and academic research can provide guidelines for making prudent long-term investment decisions.

Performance Overview
This section of the Annual Report is intended to help you understand the performance of each Fund of Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series and to provide a summary of each Fund’s portfolio characteristics.
Performance data quoted in this Annual Report represents past performance and does not guarantee 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 each Fund as of the most recent month-end will be made available at www.seligman.com1 by the seventh business day following that month-end. Calculations assume reinvestment of distributions. Performance data quoted does not reflect the deduction of taxes than an investor may pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (the “Manager”) waived/reimbursed expenses other than distribution and service fees. Absent such waivers/reimbursements, returns and yields would have been lower.
Returns for Class A shares are calculated with and without the effect of the initial 4.75% maximum sales charge. Returns for Class B shares are calculated with and without the effect of the maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), charged on redemptions made within one year of the date of purchase, declining to 1% in the sixth year and 0% thereafter. Returns for Class C shares are calculated with and without the effect of the initial 1% maximum sales charge and the 1% CDSC that is charged on redemptions made within 18 months of the date of purchase. Returns for Class D shares are calculated with and without the effect of the 1% CDSC, charged on redemptions made within one year of the date of purchase.
The chart for each Fund compares a $10,000 hypothetical investment made in Class A shares, with and without the initial 4.75% maximum sales charge, to a $10,000 investment made in its benchmark since each Fund’s commencement of operations through December 31, 2004. The performance of Class B, Class C, and Class D shares, which commenced on later dates, and of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D shares for other periods, with and without applicable sales charges and CDSCs, is not shown in the following charts but is included in the total returns tables. The performance of Class B, Class C and Class D shares will differ from the performance shown for Class A shares based on the differences in sales charges and fees paid by shareholders.

Performance Overview
* | Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. | |
** | The CDSC is 5% for periods of one year or less and 3% since inception. | |
*** | The Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Bond Index (“Lehman Index”) and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock | |
Index (S&P 500) are unmanaged benchmarks that assume reinvestment of all distributions and exclude the effect of taxes, | ||
fees and sales charges. The Lehman Index is composed of all bonds that are investment grade (rated Baa or higher by | ||
Moody’s or BBB or higher by S&P, if unrated by Moody’s). The S&P 500 measures the performance of 500 of the largest | ||
US companies based on market capitalization. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. | ||
† | Commencement of investment operations for Class A shares was 1/10/00. Class A share returns were computed from the | |
commencement of investment operations. Class B, C, and D shares were offered to the public on 1/10/00, but were first | ||
issued at the dates indicated below. Total returns for Class B, C, and D shares of the Fund have been computed from the | ||
commencement of investment operations and incorporate the total return of Class A shares of the Fund from the com- | ||
mencement of investment operations through the initial issuance date of each of the other classes of shares, adjusted to | ||
reflect the higher expenses associated with the Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan for those classes | ||
that would have been incurred had they first been issued on the commencement of investment operations date. The total | ||
returns of Class B, C, and D shares from their individual initial issuance dates would be different, and may be lower, than | ||
those shown above. See the Financial Highlights table beginning on page 30 for total returns for each class of shares from | ||
their individual initial issuance dates. |

Understanding and Comparing
Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of a Fund of the Series, you incur ongoing expenses, such as management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The information below is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in a Fund 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 only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (also known as loads) on certain purchases or redemptions. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. In addition, if transactional 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 July 1, 2004 and held for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2004.
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 Fund you own to estimate the expenses 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 ratios of each Fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of any Fund. 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 Fund 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 B, Class C, and Class D shares are higher than expenses of Class A shares due to the higher 12b-1 fees paid by Class B, Class C, and Class D shares. See the Series’ prospectus for a description of each share class and its expenses and sales charges. J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated, the Manager, is voluntarily waiving its investment management fee and reimbursing a portion of each Fund’s expenses, other than distribution and service fees, that exceed 0.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Absent such waiver/reimbursement, the expense ratios and expenses paid for the period would have been higher. |
** | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio based on actual expenses for the period July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (number of days in the period). |

Notes to Financial Statements
1. | Multiple Classes of Shares — Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series, Inc. (the “Series”) consists of four separate funds: Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund (“Time Horizon 30 Fund”), Seligman Time Horizon 20 Fund (“Time Horizon 20 Fund”), Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund (“Time Horizon 10 Fund”), and Seligman Harvester Fund (“Harvester Fund”). Each Fund invests in a combination of Class A shares of other Seligman mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”). | |
Each Fund of the Series offers four classes of shares — Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, and Class D shares. Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.75%. Class A shares purchased in an amount of $1,000,000 or more are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% on redemptions within 18 months of purchase. | ||
Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% on an annual basis, and a CDSC, if applicable, of 5% on redemptions in the first year of purchase, declining to 1% in the sixth year and 0% thereafter. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares during the month that precedes the eighth anniversary of their date of purchase. If Class B shares of the Fund are exchanged for Class B shares of another Seligman registered investment company, the holding period of the shares exchanged will be added to the holding period of the shares acquired, both for determining the applicable CDSC and the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares. | ||
Class C shares are sold primarily with an initial sales charge of up to 1% and a CDSC, if applicable, of 1% imposed on redemptions made within 18 months of purchase. Effective November 25, 2003, shares purchased through certain financial intermediaries may be bought without an initial sales charge and with a 1% CDSC on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. All Class C shares are subject to a distribution fee of up to 0.75% on an annual basis. | ||
Class D shares are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a distribution fee of up to 0.75% on an annual basis, and a CDSC, if applicable, of 1% imposed on redemptions made within one year of purchase. | ||
The four classes of shares for each Fund 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 distribution and certain other class-specific expenses, and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required. | ||
2. | Significant Accounting Policies — The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 Series: | |
a. | Security Valuation — Underlying Funds owned by a Fund are valued at their respective net asset values. 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. Short-term holdings maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. | |
b. | Federal Taxes — Each Fund in the Series has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company and intends to distribute substantially all taxable net income and net gain realized. | |
c. | 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. Dividends receivable are recorded on ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. | |

Notes to Financial Statements
d. | Multiple Class Allocations — Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of that Fund based upon the relative value of the shares of each class. Class-specific expenses, which include distribution and service fees and any other items that are specifically attributed to a particular class, are charged directly to such class. For the year ended December 31, 2004, distribution and service fees were the only class-specific expenses. | |
e. | Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend dates. | |
3. | Purchases and Sales of Securities — Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (underlying funds), excluding short-term investments, for the year ended December 31, 2004, were as follows: | |
Fund | Purchases | Sales | Fund | Purchases | Sales | |||||||||
Time Horizon 30 Fund | $ | 1,563,334 | $ | 219,544 | Time Horizon 10 Fund | $ | 6,529,877 | $ | 3,143,845 | |||||
Time Horizon 20 Fund | 3,363,547 | 883,517 | Harvester Fund | 3,983,115 | 4,132,200 | |||||||||
4. | Management Fee, Distribution Services, and Other Transactions — The Manager manages the affairs of the Series and provides the necessary personnel and facilities. Compensation of all officers of the Series, all directors of the Series who are employees of the Manager, and all personnel of the Series and the Manager is paid by the Manager. The Manager receives a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, equal to 0.10% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has voluntarily undertaken to waive its management fee and reimburse each Fund’s expenses, other than distribution and service fees, that exceed 0.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets through December 31, 2004. The Manager has contractually undertaken to waive its management fee and/or to reimburse each Fund’s expenses, other than distribution and service fees, that exceed 0.75% per annum of average daily net assets from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2010. |
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the amount of expenses waived and reimbursed by the Manager and the amount receivable from the Manager at December 31, 2004 were as follows: |

Notes to Financial Statements
Each Fund of the Series 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, Class B, Class C, and Class D shares, service organizations can enter into agreements with the Distributor and receive a continuing fee (12b-1 fee) of up to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to the particular service organizations for providing personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. To avoid any duplication of the 12b-1 fee, the 12b-1 fees to be paid by each class of a Fund will be reduced by the dollar amount of any 12b-1 fees paid by the Underlying Funds with respect to shares owned by the Fund.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, 12b-1 fees incurred by the Time Horizon 30 Fund, Time Horizon 20 Fund, Time Horizon 10 Fund, and the Harvester Fund (net of 12b-1 fees paid by underlying funds), aggregated $283, $407, $454, and $246, respectively, or 0.01% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class A shares.
With respect to Class C and Class D shares, service organizations may receive up to 0.75% per annum of the average daily net assets for providing other distribution assistance. Such fees are paid monthly by the Funds to the Distributor pursuant to the Plan.
With respect to Class B shares, a distribution fee of 0.75% per annum of the average daily net assets is payable monthly by the Funds to the Distributor; however, the Distributor has sold its rights to this fee to third parties (the “Purchasers”), which provide funding to the Distributor to enable it to pay commissions to dealers at the time of the sale of the related Class B shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the 12b-1 fees and distribution fees incurred under the Plan (net of 12b-1 fees paid by Underlying Funds), and their equivalent per annum percentage of the average daily net assets of Class B, Class C, and Class D shares, were as follows:
Fund | Class B | Class C | Class D | Fee Rate | ||||||||
Time Horizon 30 Fund | $13,108 | $17,186 | $5,314 | 0.76 | % | |||||||
Time Horizon 20 Fund | 27,069 | 43,491 | 9,503 | 0.75 | ||||||||
Time Horizon 10 Fund | 32,937 | 55,141 | 13,146 | 0.75 | ||||||||
Harvester Fund | 31,270 | 46,096 | 10,583 | 0.75 | ||||||||
The Distributor is entitled to retain any CDSC imposed on certain redemptions of Class A, Class C and Class D shares. For the year ended December 31, 2004, such charges amounted to $874 for Time Horizon 30 Fund, $2,039 for Time Horizon 20 Fund, $3,571 for Time Horizon 10 Fund and $2,474 for Harvester Fund.
The Distributor has sold its rights to the Purchasers to collect any CDSC imposed on redemptions of Class B shares. In connection with the sale of its rights to collect any CDSC and the distribution fees with respect to Class B shares described above, prior to August 1, 2004, the Distributor received payments from the Purchasers based on the value of Class B shares sold. The aggregate of such payments retained by the Distributor for the year ended December 31, 2004, were as follows:
Fund | Amount | Fund | Amount | ||||||
Time Horizon 30 Fund | $1,871 | Time Horizon 10 Fund | $1,989 | ||||||
Time Horizon 20 Fund | 2,413 | Harvester Fund | 862 | ||||||

Notes to Financial Statements
Seligman Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Manager, is eligible to receive commissions from certain sales of shares of the Series, as well as distribution and service fees pursuant to the Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2004, Seligman Services, Inc. received commissions from the sale of shares of each Fund and distribution and service fees, pursuant to the Plan, as follows:
Distribution and | ||||||||
Fund | Service Fees | Fund | Service Fees | |||||
Time Horizon 30 Fund | $196 | $594 | Time Horizon 10 Fund | $281 | $371 | |||
Time Horizon 20 Fund | 354 | 916 | Harvester Fund | 372 | 472 | |||
Seligman Data Corp., which is owned by certain associated investment companies, charged the Series at cost the following amounts for shareholder account services in accordance with a methodology approved by the Series’ directors:
Fund | Amount | Fund | Amount | |||||||
Time Horizon 30 Fund | $3,122 | Time Horizon 10 Fund | $ 9,262 | |||||||
Time Horizon 20 Fund | 7,819 | Harvester Fund | 10,455 | |||||||
Certain officers and directors of the Series are officers or directors of the Manager, the Distributor, Seligman Services, Inc., and/or Seligman Data Corp.
The Series 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 selected Funds of the Series or 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 earnings/loss accrued theron is included in directors’ fees and expenses, and the accumulated balances thereof at December 31, 2004, included in other liabilities, were as follows:
Fund | Amount | Fund | Amount | |||||||
Time Horizon 30 Fund | $1,758 | Time Horizon 10 Fund | $1,788 | |||||||
Time Horizon 20 Fund | 1,776 | Harvester Fund | 1,783 | |||||||
5. | 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 the Fund. 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 realized gains may differ from their treatment for federal income tax purposes. Further, the cost of investments also can differ for federal income tax purposes. |
At December 31, 2004, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes for each Fund was as follows:
Fund | ||||
Time Horizon 30 Fund | $ | 8,273,009 | ||
Time Horizon 20 Fund | 17,370,403 | |||
Time Horizon 10 Fund | 20,297,678 | |||
Harvester Fund | 16,065,615 | |||
23
Notes to Financial Statements
The tax basis cost was greater than the cost for financial reporting purposes primarily due to the following tax deferral of losses on wash sales:
Fund | Amount | Fund | Amount | |||||||
Time Horizon 30 Fund | $ 2,388 | Time Horizon 10 Fund | $405,553 | |||||||
Time Horizon 20 Fund | 258,077 | Harvester Fund | 493,813 | |||||||
At December 31, 2004, the tax basis components of accumulated earnings (losses) were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation of | ||||||||||||||||

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the tax characterization of distributions to shareholders was the same for financial reporting purposes.
At December 31, 2004, each Fund had a net capital loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes which is available for offset against future taxable net capital gains. The loss carryforwards expire as follows:
Expiration | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | Total | ||||||||||||||
Time Horizon 30 Fund | $ 167,882 | $ 20,438 | $ 188,320 | ||||||||||||||||

Harvester Fund | $262,299 | 874,015 | 462,948 | 1,599,262 | |||||||||||||||
Accordingly, no capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders of these Funds until net capital gains have been realized in excess of the available capital loss carryforward.
In addition, Time Horizon 10 Fund and Harvester Fund elected to defer to January 1, 2005, the recognition, for tax purposes, of net losses of $43,345 and $56,053, respectively, realized on sales of investments after October 31, 2004. These losses will be available to offset future taxable net gains.

Notes to Financial Statements
7. | Other Matters — The circumstances described below relate to certain regulatory matters affecting certain of the Seligman registered investment companies (“Seligman Funds”). Although Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series did not receive any payments directly from the Manager, the Series does invest in certain of the Seligman Funds that were affected and received payments from the Manager. |
The Manager conducted an extensive internal review in response to developments regarding disruptive or illegal trading practices within the mutual fund industry. As of September 2003, the Manager had one arrangement that permitted frequent trading in 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 already had been terminated prior to the end of September 2002. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the NASD and the Attorney General of the State of New York also are reviewing these matters. | |
The Manager has also reviewed its practice of placing some of the Seligman Funds’ orders to buy and sell portfolio securities with brokerage firms in recognition of their sales of Seligman Funds. At the time such orders were placed, this practice was permissible when done properly; however, the Manager believes that it may have violated applicable requirements for certain of such orders as a result of compensation arrangements the Manager had with certain brokerage firms. The Manager discontinued this practice entirely in October 2003. The Manager is confident that the execution of all such orders was consistent with its best execution obligations and that the Seligman Funds did not pay higher brokerage commissions than they would otherwise have paid for comparable transactions. The Manager has also responded fully to information requests from the SEC and the NASD relating to the Manager’s use of revenue sharing and fund portfolio brokerage commissions and will continue to provide additional information if, and as, requested. | |
The results of the Manager’s internal reviews were presented to the Independent Directors of the Seligman Funds. In order to resolve matters with the Independent Directors relating to the four arrangements involving frequent trading the Manager has made payments to three funds and has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee with respect to another fund. In order to resolve matters with the Independent Directors with regard to portfolio brokerage commissions, the Manager has made payments to each of twenty-four funds in an amount equal to the commissions paid by each such fund during the period from 1998 through 2003 to certain brokerage firms in recognition of sales of fund shares. Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series does not pay brokerage commissions and thus did not receive any payment from the Manager. | |

* | Commencement of investment operations. | |
** | The Manager, at its discretion, reimbursed certain expenses and waived management fees for the periods presented | |
(Note 4). | ||
† | In computing the ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets, income and expenses, other than | |
organization expenses are annualized. Organization expenses are not annualized because they were a one-time expense | ||
incurred at the Series’ commencement of investment operations. | ||
†† | Commencement of issuance of shares. | |
# | Excluding the effect of the payments to certain of the underlying Seligman Funds received from the Manager (Note 6), total | |
return would have been as follows: |

øø | The total returns shown for each Class of shares from commencement of investment operations/issuance of shares to | |
12/31/00, are calculated from the later of the respective Fund’s commencement of investment operations date (1/10/00) or | ||
the initial issuance date of shares of the Class. The total returns for Class A shares were calculated from the commence- | ||
ment of investment operations date. Class B, C and D shares of the Fund were offered to the public on the commencement | ||
of investment operations date, but were first issued on the respective dates shown in the table. If shares of each Class had | ||
been issued on the commencement of investment operations date, the total returns for each Class would have been as fol- | ||
lows: |
Class A | (12.18 | )% | Class A | (8.83 | )% | Class A | (7.02 | )% | Class A | (4.99 | )% | |||||||

Class D | (12.76 | ) | Class D | (9.68 | ) | Class D | (7.90 | ) | Class D | (5.97 | ) | |||||||
These total returns have been computed from the commencement of investment operations date and incorporate the total return of Class A shares of the Fund from the commencement of investment operations date through the initial issuance dates of each of the other classes of shares, adjusted to reflect the higher expenses associated with the Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan for those classes that would have been incurred had they first been issued on the commencement of investment operations date. |

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments of Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series, Inc. (the “Series”) (comprising, respectively, Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund, Seligman Time Horizon 20 Fund, Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund, and Seligman Harvester Fund), as of December 31, 2004, 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 presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Series’ 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004, by correspondence with the Series’ custodian and shareholder service agent. 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 Funds constituting Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, 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 periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
