Dear Shareholder:
On the following pages, you’ll find your Fund’s semiannual report, including a table showing fund performance over the first half of the fiscal year and for longer periods. The report also contains a listing of the Fund’s holdings at period-end. The semiannual report is an interim statement furnished between the Fund’s annual reports, which include an analysis of Fund performance over the fiscal year in addition to other data.
Mutual fund prices and returns will rise or fall over time, and asset managers tend to have periods when they perform better or worse than their long-term average. The best measures of a mutual fund’s quality are its return compared to that of similar investments and the variability of its return over the long term. We recommend that you review your portfolio regularly with your financial professional.
Sincerely,
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001193125-08-148191/g81932g86j71.jpg)

The cumulative total returns do not reflect the deduction of applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total return performance quoted. Class A and Class L shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively. Class L shares are closed to most new purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends and purchases by certain college savings plans). Class M and Class X shares are also closed to most new purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends). Class L, Class M, and Class X shares are exchangeable only with Class L, Class M, and Class X shares, respectively, offered by the other JennisonDryden Funds. Under certain circumstances, Class A and Class L shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B, Class C, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5%, 1%, 6%, and 6%, respectively.
Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.

2Prior to April 12, 2004, Class L shares were known as Class A shares. On April 12, 2004, Class A shares were redesignated as Class L shares and a new Class A was opened.
3Prior to April 12, 2004, Class M shares were known as Class B shares. On April 12, 2004, Class B shares were redesignated as Class M shares and a new Class B was opened.
4The Russell MidCap Value Index measures the performance of those Russell MidCap companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks are also members of the Russell 1000 Value Index.
5The Russell MidCap Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 25% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index.
6The Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400 Stock Index (S&P MidCap 400 Index) is an unmanaged index of 400 domestic stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It gives a broad look at how U.S. mid-cap stock prices have performed.
7Funds in the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Average, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Mid-cap value funds typically have a below-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared with the companies in the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
8The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares. Without a distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% for Class A shares, the returns would have been lower. Class A shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually. Class B, Class C, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 1.00%. Class L shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 0.50%.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the Russell Midcap Value Index, the Russell Midcap Index, and the S&P MidCap 400 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but sales charges or taxes.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2007, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2008. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.
The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before

Dryden Mid Cap Value Fund | | 5 |
Fees and Expenses (continued)
expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Fund expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 182 days in the six-month period ended April 30, 2008, and divided by the 366 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
Strategic Partners Mutual Funds, Inc., formerly known as American Skandia Advisor Funds, Inc., (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company was organized on March 5, 1997, as a Maryland Corporation. The Company operates as a series company and effective April 12, 2004, the name of the Company was changed to Strategic Partners Mutual Funds, Inc. At April 30, 2008, the Company consisted of three diversified investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The information presented in these financial statements pertains to Dryden Mid Cap Value (“Mid Cap Value”). The investment objective of the Fund is capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks of medium capitalization companies.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Company and the Fund in the preparation of their financial statements.
Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities that are actively traded via Nasdaq are valued at the official closing price as provided by Nasdaq. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) in consultation with the subadviser, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which reliable
| | |
22 | | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation of securities some of the factors influencing the valuation include, the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset value. As of April 30, 2008, there were no securities valued in accordance with such procedure.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of valuation.
Foreign Currency Translation: Fund securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based on the current rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of Fund securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions. Gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates applicable to long-term foreign securities are not reported separately from gains and losses arising from movements in securities prices. Net realized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency exchange contracts, gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of foreign securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued on foreign securities and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than Fund securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Securities Lending: The Funds may lend their portfolio securities to broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the market value of the securities loaned. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Funds have the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Funds recognize income, net of any rebate and securities

(Unaudited) continued
lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Funds also continue to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognize any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and discounts on portfolio securities as adjustments to interest income. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by management.
Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-divided date. Dividends, if any, from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually. These dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, are distributed at least annually. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified to paid-in capital when they arise.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Fund in the Company is treated as a separate tax paying entity. It is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal tax provision is required.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement with PI which provides that the Manager will furnish the Fund with investment advice and investment management and administrative services. The Manager has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Quantitative Management Associates LLC.
Advisory Fees and Expense Limitations: The Manager receives a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, based on an annual rate of the average net assets. The Manager pays the subadvisor a fee as compensation for advisory services provided to the Fund. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive expenses in accordance with limitation expense policies as noted in the table below. The Manager will reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, distribution fees and extraordinary expenses, but inclusive of the advisory fee, which in the aggregate exceed specified percentages of the Fund’s average net assets while retaining their ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers prior to the end of the fiscal year. The advisory fee and expense limitation are summarized as follows:
| | | | |
Advisory Expense | | Effective Advisory Fee Net of Waiver | | Fee Limitation |
0.90% to $500 million; | | 0.90% | | 1.35% |
0.85% next $500 million; | | | | |
0.80% in excess of $1 billion | | | | |
Such voluntary fee waivers or reductions have been calculated prior to any fee reimbursements with respect to the expense limitations, and may be rescinded at any time and without notice to investors. All reimbursements by the Manager are reflected in the Statements of Operations.
Certain officers and directors of the Fund are officers or directors of the Manager. The Fund pays no compensation directly to their officers or interested directors.
Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”) and American Skandia Marketing, Incorporated (“ASMI”), both affiliates of the Manager and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the distributor for the Fund. The Company has adopted a separate Distribution and Service plan (each a “Plan” and collectively the “Plans”) for Class A, B, C, D, L, M, X and Z shares of each Fund in
| | |
Dryden Mid Cap Value Fund | | 25 |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor for Class Z shares.
Under the Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS and ASMI distribution and service fees at an annual rate up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 0.50%, 1.00% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, L, M and X shares, respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 2008, PIMS has contractually agreed to limit such fees to 0.25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. The effective annualized distribution fee rate for Class X shares was 0.16% for the six months ended April 30, 2008.
During the six months ended April 30, 2008, PIMS has advised the Fund, front-end sales charges (“FESC”) and gross contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) were approximately as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Class A FESC | | Class A CDSC | | Class B CDSC | | Class C CDSC | | Class M CDSC | | Class X CDSC |
$15,100 | | $100 | | $39,000 | | $800 | | $46,300 | | $7,600 |
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. Transfer agent fees and expenses shown in the Statements of Operations include certain out-of pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.
The Fund pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers, including fees relating to the services of Wachovia Securities, LLC (“Wachovia”) and First Clearing, LLC (“First Clearing”), affiliated of PI. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the six months ended April 30, 2008 and the year ended October 31 2007, the Fund incurred approximately $60,000 and 97,000, respectively, in total networking fees of which approximately $15,000 and 37,000, respectively, was paid to First Clearing. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund invests in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “Series”), a portfolio of Dryden Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Series is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.

5. Tax Information
The federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of April 30, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | |
Tax basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$292,371,555 | | $31,606,412 | | $(31,065,786) | | $540,626 |

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of April 30, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
6. Portfolio Securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, during the six months ended April 30, 2008, were $12,231,813 and $59,489,531, respectively.
7. Borrowings
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a syndicated credit agreement (“SCA”) with two banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is incurred at contracted market rates and a commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Effective October 26, 2007, the Funds renewed the SCA with the banks. The commitment under the renewed SCA continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .06 of 1% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 24, 2008. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions.
The Fund utilized the line of credit during the six months ended April 30, 2008. The average daily balance for the 11 days the Fund had an outstanding balance was approximately $1,071,000 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.96%.
8. New Accounting Pronouncements
On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At

In addition, in March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Mutual fund prices and returns will rise or fall over time, and asset managers tend to have periods when they perform better or worse than their long-term average. The best measures of a mutual fund’s quality are its return compared to that of similar investments and the variability of its return over the long term. We recommend that you review your portfolio regularly with your financial professional.
Sincerely,

The cumulative total returns do not reflect the deduction of applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total return performance quoted. Class A and Class L shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively. Class L shares are closed to most new purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends and purchases by certain college savings plans). Class M and Class X shares are also closed to most new purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends). Class L, Class M, and Class X shares are exchangeable only with Class L, Class M, and Class X shares, respectively, offered by the other JennisonDryden Funds. Under certain circumstances, Class A and Class L shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B, Class C, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5%, 1%, 6%, and 6%, respectively.
Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.

4Funds in the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index seek relatively high current income and growth of income by investing at least 65% of their portfolio in dividend-paying equity securities. These funds gross or net yield must be at least 125% of the average gross or net yield of the U.S. diversified equity fund universe.
5The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed.
6Funds in the Lipper Equity Income Category Average seek relatively high current income and growth of income through investing 60% or more of their portfolio in equities.
7The average annual total returns do take into account applicable sales charges. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares. Without a distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% for Class A shares, the returns would have been lower. Class A shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually. Class B, Class C, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 1.00%. Class L shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 0.50%.

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)
Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the S&P 500 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2007, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2008. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.
The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and

Jennison Equity Income Fund | | 5 |
Fees and Expenses (continued)
expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
Strategic Partners Mutual Funds, Inc., formerly known as American Skandia Advisor Funds, Inc., (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company was organized on March 5, 1997, as a Maryland Corporation. The Company operates as a series company and effective April 12, 2004, the name of the Company was changed to Strategic Partners Mutual Funds, Inc. At April 30, 2008, the Company consisted of three diversified investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The information presented in these financial statements pertains to Jennison Equity Income Fund. The investment objective of the Fund is long term capital growth and income by investing primarily in common stocks that are believed to be selling at reasonable valuation in relation to their fundamental business prospects.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Company and the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities that are actively traded via Nasdaq are valued at the official closing price as provided by Nasdaq. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) in consultation with the subadviser, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by
| | |
16 | | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation of securities some of the factors influencing the valuation include, the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset value.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of valuation.
Foreign Currency Translation: Fund securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based on the current rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of Fund securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions. Gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates applicable to long-term foreign securities are not reported separately from gains and losses arising from movements in securities prices. Net realized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency exchange contracts, gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of foreign securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued on foreign securities and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than Fund securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Repurchase Agreements: A repurchase agreement is a commitment to purchase securities from a seller who agrees to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon price and date. The excess of the resale price over the purchase price determines the yield on the transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, the market value, including accrued interest, of the securities will be at least equal to their repurchase price.
| | |
Jennison Equity Income Fund | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
Repurchase agreements are recorded at cost, which, combined with accrued interest, approximates market value.
Repurchase agreements bear a risk of loss in the event that the seller defaults on its obligation to repurchase the securities. In such case, the Fund may be delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the securities.
Securities Lending: The Funds may lend their portfolio securities to broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the market value of the securities loaned. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Funds have the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Funds recognize income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Funds also continue to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognize any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and discounts on portfolio securities as adjustments to interest income. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by management.
Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Dividends and Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-divided date. Dividends, if any, from net investment income are declared and paid at least quarterly. These dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
| | |
18 | | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
Net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, are distributed at least annually. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified to paid-in capital when they arise.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Fund in the Company is treated as a separate tax paying entity. It is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal tax provision is required.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement with PI which provides that the Manager will furnish the Fund with investment advice and investment management and administrative services. The Manager has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC.
Advisory Fees and Expense Limitations: The Manager receives a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, based on an annual rate of the average net assets. The Manager pays the Subadvisor a fee as compensation for advisory services provided to the Fund. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive expenses in accordance with limitation expense policies as noted in the table below. The Manager will reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, distribution fees and extraordinary expenses, but inclusive of the advisory fee, which in the aggregate exceed specified percentages of the Fund’s average net assets while retaining their ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers prior to the end of the fiscal year. The advisory fee and expense limitation are summarized as follows:
| | | | |
Advisory Expense | | Effective Advisory Fee Net of Waiver | | Fee Limitation |
0.85% to $500 million; | | 0.85% | | 1.15% |
0.80% next $500 million; | | | | |
0.75% in excess of $1 billion | | | | |
| | |
Jennison Equity Income Fund | | 19 |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
Such voluntary fee waivers or reductions have been calculated prior to any fee reimbursements with respect to the expense limitations, and may be rescinded at any time and without notice to investors. All reimbursements by the Manager are reflected in the Statements of Operations.
Certain officers and directors of the Funds are officers or directors of the Investment Manager. The Funds pay no compensation directly to their officers or interested directors.
Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (‘‘PIMS’’) and American Skandia Marketing, Incorporated (“ASMI”), both affiliates of the Manager and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the distributor for the Fund. The Company has adopted a separate Distribution and Service plan (each a ‘‘Plan’’ and collectively the ‘‘Plans’’) for Class A, B, C, D, L, M, X and Z shares of each Fund in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor for Class Z shares.
Under the Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS and ASMI distribution and service fees at an annual rate up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 0.50%, 1.00% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, L, M and X shares, respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 2008, PIMS has contractually agreed to limit such fees to 0.25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. The effective annualized distribution fee rate for Class X shares was 0.94% for six months ended April 30, 2008.
During the six months ended April 30, 2008, PIMS has advised the Fund, front-end sales charges (‘‘FESC’’) and gross contingent deferred sales charges (‘‘CDSC’’) were approximately as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Class A FESC | | Class A CDSC | | Class B CDSC | | Class C CDSC | | Class M CDSC | | Class X CDSC |
$40,700 | | $100 | | $8,600 | | $1,400 | | $51,600 | | $6,900 |
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (‘‘PMFS’’), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. Transfer agent fees and expenses are shown in the Statements of Operations.

The Fund pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers, including fees relating to the services of Wachovia Securities, LLC (“Wachovia”) and First Clearing, LLC (“First Clearing”), affiliated of PI. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended April 30, 2008, the Fund incurred approximately $28,100 in total networking fees, of which $1,900 was paid to Wachovia and First Clearing.
The Fund invests in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “Series”), a portfolio of Dryden Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Series is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.
Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, served as the Fund’s securities lending agent. For the six months ended April 30, 2008, PIM has been compensated approximately $126,200 for these services.
4. Shares of Capital Stock
Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Purchases of $1 million or more are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if shares are redeemed within 12 months of their purchase. Class B shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 5% to zero depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares approximately seven years after purchase. Class M shares will automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1% during the first 12 months. Class L shares are closed to most new purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends and purchases by certain college savings plans).

Class L shares and Class M shares are only exchangeable with Class L shares and Class M shares, respectively, offered by the other Strategic Partners Funds.

5. Tax Information
The federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of April 30, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | |
Tax basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Depreciation |
$229,276,507 | | $17,576,862 | | $(19,925,746) | | $(2,348,884) |
The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of April 30, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
6. Portfolio Securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, during the six months ended April 30, 2008, were $58,941,143 and $82,960,991, respectively.

7. Borrowings
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with two banks. The SCA, which was renewed on October 26, 2007, provides for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is incurred at contracted market rates and a commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .06 of 1% of the unused portion of the SCA. The expiration date of the SCA will be October 24, 2008. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions.
The Fund did not utilize the line of credit during the six months ended April 30, 2008.
8. New Accounting Pronouncements
On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157 and its impact, if any, in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
In addition, in March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contigent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Dear Shareholder:
On the following pages, you’ll find your Fund’s semiannual report, including a table showing fund performance over the first half of the fiscal year. The report also contains a listing of the Fund’s holdings at period-end. The semiannual report is an interim statement furnished between the Fund’s annual reports, which include an analysis of Fund performance over the fiscal year in addition to other data.
Money market investments such as the Fund are at the low-risk, low-reward end of the risk/reward spectrum, and the primary measure of their performance is the 7-day current yield, which is included in the attached report. The Fund may be an important part of your overall financial plan, which we recommend you review regularly with your financial professional.
Sincerely,
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001193125-08-148191/g76835g86j71.jpg)

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2007, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2008. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.
The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on
| | |
Dryden Money Market Fund | | 3 |
Fees and Expenses (continued)
the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
Strategic Partners Mutual Funds, Inc., formerly known as American Skandia Advisor Funds, Inc., (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company was organized on March 5, 1997, as a Maryland Corporation. The Company operates as a series company and effective April 12, 2004, the name of the Company was changed to Strategic Partners Mutual Funds, Inc. At April 30, 2008, the Company consisted of three diversified investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The information presented in these financial statements pertains to Dryden Money Market Fund (“Fund”). The investment objective of the Fund is to maximize current income and maintain high levels of liquidity by investing in high-quality, short-term, U.S. dollar-denominated instruments.
2. Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation: Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If the amortized cost method is determined not to represent fair value, the fair value shall be determined by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. When determining the fair valuation of securities some of the factors influencing the valuation include the nature of any restrictions on disposition of securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates.
Repurchase Agreements: A repurchase agreement is a commitment to purchase securities from a seller who agrees to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon price and date. The excess of the resale price over the purchase price determines the yield on the transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, the market value, including accrued interest, of the securities will be at least equal to their repurchase price.
| | |
12 | | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
Repurchase agreements are recorded at cost, which, combined with accrued interest, approximates market value.
Repurchase agreements bear a risk of loss in the event that the seller defaults on its obligation to repurchase the securities. In such case, the Fund may be delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the securities.
Loan Participation: The Fund may invest in loan participations. When the Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations ("Selling Participant"), but not the borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, the selling participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and borrower ("Intermediate participants"). The Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the senior loan in which it has purchased the loan participation.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by management.
Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to the respective class) and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Net realized gains from investment transactions, if any are distributed at least annually. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified to paid-in capital when they arise.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Fund in the Company is treated as a separate tax paying entity. It is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal tax provision is required.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement with PI and AST Investment Services, Inc. (co-managers) (‘‘Investment Manager’’) which provide that the Investment Manager will furnish the Fund with investment advice and investment management and administrative services. The Investment Manager has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”).
Advisory Fees and Expense Limitations: The Investment Manager receives a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, based on an annual rate of the average net assets. The Investment Manager pays the Sub-advisor a fee as compensation for advisory services provided to the Funds. The Investment Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive expenses in accordance with limitation expense policies as noted in the table below. The Investment Manager will reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, distribution fees and extraordinary expenses, but inclusive of the advisory fee, which in the aggregate exceed specified percentages of the Fund’s average net assets while retaining their ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers prior to the end of the fiscal year. The advisory fees and expense limitations are summarized as follows:
| | | | |
Advisory Expense | | Effective Advisory Fees Net of Waiver | | Fees Limitations |
0.50% | | 0.40% | | 1.00% |
The Investment Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive 0.10% of its advisory fee. Such voluntary fee waivers or reductions have been calculated prior to any fee reimbursements with respect to the expense limitations, and may be rescinded at any time and without notice to investors. All reimbursements by the Investment Manager are reflected in the Statements of Operations.
Management of the Company: Certain officers and directors of the Funds are officers or directors of the Investment Manager. The Funds pay no compensation directly to their officers or interested directors.

5. Tax Information
At October 31, 2007, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of approximately $16,800 of which $14,700 expires in 2013 and $2,100 expires in 2014. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, approximately $800 of its capital loss carryforward was used to offset net realized capital gains. No capital gain distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward. It is uncertain whether the Fund will be able to realize the full benefit prior to the expiration date.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of April 30, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
6. New Accounting Pronouncements
On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”
| | |
18 | | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
(FAS 157). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157 and its impact, if any, in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
In addition, in March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.
