Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the semiannual report for the Prudential National Muni Fund, Inc. informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended February 28, 2013.
We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.
Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

We offer the expertise of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers* that strive to be leaders in a broad range of funds to help you stay on course to the future you envision. They also manage money for major corporations and pension funds around the world, which means you benefit from the same expertise, innovation, and attention to risk demanded by today’s most sophisticated investors.

Sincerely,
Stuart S. Parker, President

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.00% and a 12b-1 fee of 0.30% annually. All investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. The CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund. Class B shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, and 1%, respectively, for the first six years after purchase and a 12b-1 fee of 0.50% annually. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class C shares purchased are not subject to a front-end sales charge, but are subject to a CDSC of 1% for shares sold within 12 months from the date of purchase and an annual 12b-1 fee of 1%. Class Z

shares are not subject to a sales charge or 12b-1 fees. The returns in the tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period.
Benchmark Definitions
Barclays Municipal Bond Index
The Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the Index) is an unmanaged index of over 39,000 long-term investment-grade municipal bonds. It gives a broad look at how long-term investment-grade municipal bonds have performed.
Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Average
The Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on an average return of all funds in the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest primarily in municipal debt issues in the top four credit ratings.
Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. The returns for the 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 Fund 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 September 1, 2012, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended February 28, 2013. 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 Prudential Investments 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 this 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,
Prudential National Muni Fund, Inc. | 5 |
Fees and Expenses (continued)
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 181 days in the six-month period ended February 28, 2013, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending August 31, 2013 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying funds in which the Fund may invest.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Prudential National Muni Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”). The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes.
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Fund holds portfolio securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) through the adoption of Valuation Procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities. Under the current Valuation Procedures, a Valuation Committee is established and responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available or not representative of the fair value of the securities. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, which are summarized in the three broad level hierarchies based on any observable inputs used as described in the table following the Portfolio of Investments. The valuation methodologies and significant inputs used in determining the fair value of securities and other assets classified as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the hierarchy are as follows:
Common stocks, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (including futures contracts and certain options and swap contracts on securities), that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange. Securities traded via NASDAQ are
38 | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
In the event there is no sale or official closing price on such day, these securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price in absence of an asked price. These securities are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these inputs are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.
For common stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges, certain valuation adjustments will be applied when events occur after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time. These securities are valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the adjustment factors are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.
Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 as they have the ability to be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter market, such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Government agencies issues and guaranteed obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations and sovereign issues are usually valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide these prices usually after evaluating observable inputs including yield curves, credit rating, yield spreads, default rates, cash flows as well as broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Asset-backed and mortgage-related securities are usually valued by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide the prices using their internal pricing models with inputs from deal terms, tranche level attributes, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates and broker/dealer quotes. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Prudential National Muni Fund, Inc. | 39 |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality, which mature in sixty days or less, are valued using amortized cost method, which approximates fair 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 the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as option contracts, foreign currency contracts and swaps agreements, are usually valued using pricing vendor services, which derive the valuation based on underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates, exchange rates and other inputs. These instruments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced using the methods described above are valued with pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee. In the event there are unobservable inputs used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
When determining the fair value 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 the 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 values.
Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying
40 | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
security. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain or loss is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain (loss) on financial futures contracts.
The Fund invested in financial futures contracts in order to hedge existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or market conditions. The Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets. Financial futures contracts involve elements of risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
With exchange-traded futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Futures contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses from investment transactions 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, that may differ from actual.
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 adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Custody Fee Credits: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby uninvested monies earn credits which reduce the fees charged by the custodian. Such custody fee credits, if any, are presented as a reduction of gross expenses in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, 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 investment income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Prudential National Muni Fund, Inc. | 41 |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
Dividends and Distributions: The Fund declares daily dividends from net investment income and payment is made monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.
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 these estimates.
Note 2. Agreements
The Fund has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisor’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). The subadvisory agreement provides that PIM will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of PIM, the cost of compensation of officers for the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to and including $250 million, .475% of the next $250 million, .45% of the next $500 million, .425% of the next $250 million, .40% of the next $250 million and .375% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. The effective management fee rate was .47% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the six months ended February 28, 2013.
The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, B, C and Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B
42 | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
and C Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by it. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Fund.
Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, .50% and 1%, of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively. For the six months ended February 28, 2013, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares.
PIMS has advised the Fund that it received $138,234 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares, for the six months ended February 28, 2013. From these fees, PIMS paid a substantial portion of such sales charges to dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.
PIMS has advised the Fund that for the six months ended February 28, 2013, it received $1,622, $47,737 and $841 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
PI, PIM and PIMS are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).
Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates
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. The transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.
Note 4. Portfolio Securities
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended February 28, 2013, were $122,234,968 and $127,504,988, respectively. Although floating rate daily demand notes are shown as short-term investments in the Portfolio of Investments due to frequent reset of coupon rates, they have long-term maturities and are included in these purchase and sale amounts.
Prudential National Muni Fund, Inc. | 43 |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
Note 5. Tax Information
The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of February 28, 2013 were as follows:
Tax Basis | Appreciation | Depreciation | Net | |||
$755,204,134 | $85,420,851 | $(4,065,148) | $81,355,703 |
The differences between book basis and tax basis were primarily attributable to differences in the treatment of accreting market discount for book and tax purposes.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Post-enactment losses are required to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred prior to the effective date of the Act. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards related to taxable years ending before August 31, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of August 31, 2012, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:
Post-Enactment Losses: | $ | 3,247,000 | ||
|
| |||
Pre-Enactment Losses: | ||||
Expiring 2016 | $ | 225,000 | ||
Expiring 2017 | 35,000 | |||
Expiring 2018 | 3,328,000 | |||
Expiring 2019 | 1,158,000 | |||
|
| |||
$ | 4,746,000 | |||
|
|
The Fund elected to treat post-October capital losses of approximately $675,000, as having been incurred in the following fiscal year (August 31, 2013).
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is
44 | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
required in the Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period. 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.
Note 6. Capital
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4%. All investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more are not subject to a front-end sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1%. The Class A CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement or benefit plans. 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 on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% on shares redeemed within the first 12 months after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.
Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund as presented in the table of transactions in shares of common stock.
There are 1 billion shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, authorized and divided into four classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z common stock, each of which consists of 250 million authorized shares.

Note 7. Borrowings
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The SCA provides for a commitment of $900 million for the period November 15, 2012 through November 14, 2013. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.08% on the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to November 15, 2012, the Funds had another SCA with substantially similar terms. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
The Fund did not utilize the SCA during the six months ended February 28, 2013.
Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
