TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

Seligman Income Fund had a modest third quarter as it slightly lagged the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (Lehman Index) for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. Year-to-date, however, the Fund significantly outpaced the
Lehman Index. Specific performance information and a discussion with your
Portfolio Manager about the past three months begins on page 2.

     In the third quarter of 1996, the economy continued to grow at a healthy
pace with virtually no inflationary repercussions and no action from the Federal
Reserve Board to alter interest rates. Reports issued in September reflected the
economy's health, showing improvement in production, new home sales, wages, and
spending.

     With the lowest unemployment rate since June 1990, strong personal incomes,
interest rates far below their 1980s levels, and few signs of inflationary
pressure, consumer confidence as measured by The Conference Board rose 25% above
its January 1996 level.

     Despite the Fed's unchanging position on interest rates in the third
quarter, the apprehension surrounding each Fed meeting continued to have a
significant influence on the financial markets. Continuing the year's trend, the
bond markets rose or fell with the release of each new economic report. On
September 24, the Fed stated that it had not seen sufficient evidence of an
acceleration in inflation to warrant an increase in the fed funds rate. The
Fed's decision helped to stabilize the bond markets and prompted a modest
decline in yields. On September 30, the 30-year Treasury bond stood at 6.92%
after trading between 7.03% and 6.89% for most of the quarter. In the equity
markets, July was marked by a correction, August by a recovery, and September by
a series of record-breaking highs.

     Going forward, we foresee continued, albeit moderate, economic growth and a
benign level of inflation. This environment of modest growth, combined with
relatively stable interest rates, should be beneficial for financial markets in
the months ahead. As always, there could be short-term volatility, but we remain
confident in the long-term outlook.

     As we near the end of the year, we encourage you to review your overall
investment portfolio. When doing so, you may wish to consult your financial
advisor to discuss financial issues such as tax planning, and to ensure that you
are following the best investment strategy to help you seek your financial
goals.

    We welcome Mr. Rodney Collins as Co-Portfolio Manager of Seligman Income
Fund, Inc. Mr. Collins has been with J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated since
1992, has been a member of the Seligman Growth and Income Team since early 1995,
and has five years of investment experience.

     We thank you for your continued interest in Seligman Income Fund, and look
forward to serving your investment needs in the many years to come.

INTERVIEW WITH YOUR PORTFOLIO MANAGER
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     ----------

     ----------
CHARLES C. SMITH, JR.

HOW DID SELIGMAN INCOME FUND PERFORM IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS?

Seligman Income Fund's performance lagged that of its competitors in the third
quarter of 1996 due in part to its higher weighting in fixed-income issues and
to the ongoing volatility of interest rates. Due to its blend of equity and
fixed-income holdings, the Fund lagged the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Price
Index (S&P 500), but maintained a dividend yield that is almost twice that of
the S&P 500. Additionally, the Fund outpaced the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index for the nine months ended September 30.

WHAT ECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND IN THE QUARTER?

In the last three months, the economy's growth continued, as exhibited in strong
housing and employment reports, which ignited fears of inflation and potential
interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board. Nonetheless, the buoyancy
of the economy improved corporate profits, which in turn strengthened the equity
markets. In the fixed-income markets, however, the uncertainty over the future
direction of the economy provoked ongoing interest rate volatility in the
quarter.

WHAT MARKET EVENTS INFLUENCED THE FUND IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS?

Once again, the Fund's exposure to the equity markets proved positive as it
helped offset the losses of the Fund's bond holdings. Continued strength in
corporate profits led to significant increases in the equity markets, which
reached new highs by September 30 despite a July correction. The Fund,
therefore, had a positive quarter due to the performance of its convertible
bonds, common stocks, and foreign equity securities. Conversely, the
fixed-income markets endured a volatile interest rate environment caused by
continued strength in the economy, and lagged the equity markets again this
quarter.

WHAT WAS YOUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

We continued to pursue a diversified investment approach, which includes owning
convertible stocks and bonds in addition to utilities and traditional
fixed-income tools. This proved beneficial in the third quarter as both
utilities and bonds performed poorly. Specifically, we increased our exposure to
technology by purchasing select convertible bonds, such as Xilinx. Even so, the
portfolio is modestly underweighted in convertibles at this time, because these
securities have failed to meet our quality requirements. We will continue,
however, to look for value in the convertible marketplace.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

If the economy slows, the Fed may reduce interest rates, which could improve the
outlook for interest rate-sensitive securities. Since Seligman Income Fund is
interest rate-sensitive, a reduction in interest rates would benefit its
fixed-income holdings. If the economy continues to grow and inflation is
ignited, however, the Fed could be pushed to increase interest rates, thereby
delaying improvements in the fixed-income markets and possibly weakening prices.
Regardless of future rate changes, our long-term diversification strategy should
allow the Fund's equity holdings to improve overall performance.

  * Return figures reflect any change in price per share and assume the
    reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Return figures
    for Class A shares are calculated with and without the effect of the
    initial 4.75% maximum sales charge. Class A share returns reflect the
    effect of the 0.25% Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution
    Plan after January 1, 1993, only. Returns for Class B shares are calculated
    with and without the effect of the maximum 5% contingent deferred sales
    load ("CDSL"), charged only on certain redemptions made within one year of
    the date of purchase, declining to 1% in the sixth year and 0% thereafter.
    Returns for Class D shares are calculated with and without the effect of
    the 1% CDSL, charged only on redemptions made within one year of the date
    of purchase.
    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. Past performance is not indicative of future investment
    results.

 ** The S&P 500 and Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index are unmanaged indices
    that assume reinvestment of estimated dividends, and do not reflect fees
    and expenses. Investors may not invest directly in an index.

++ Investments in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to
   principal paydowns. As a result of prepayments from refinancing or
   satisfaction of the underlying instruments, the average life may be less
   than the original maturity. This in turn may impact the ultimate yield
   realized from these instruments.

current market values or, in their absence, at fair values determined in
accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Securities traded
on national exchanges are valued at last sales prices or, in their absence and
in the case of over-the-counter securities, a mean of bid and asked prices.
