Dear Shareholder:
On the following pages, you’ll find your annual report for the Dryden Global Total Return Fund, which includes performance data, an analysis of Fund performance, and a listing of its holdings at period-end. The Fund’s fiscal year has changed from a reporting period that ends December 31 to one that ends October 31. This change should have no impact on the way the Fund is managed. Shareholders will receive future annual and semiannual reports on the new fiscal year-end schedule.
Mutual funds 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 adviser.
Thank you for choosing JennisonDryden Mutual Funds.
Sincerely,
Judy A. Rice, President
Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc.

The cumulative total returns do not reflect the deduction of applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total returns performance quoted. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B and Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge.

1The Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI)–Unhedged (formerly known as the Salomon Smith Barney World Government Bond Index–Unhedged) is a market capitalization-weighted index consisting of the government bond markets of 21 countries that are selected based on market capitalization and investability criteria. All issues have a remaining maturity of at least one year.
2The Lipper Global Income Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on an average return of all funds in the Lipper Global Income Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest primarily in U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar debt securities of issuers located in at least three countries, one of which may be the United States.
3The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, and Class C shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, and 1.00%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns, distributions, and yields 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.
Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged 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.

Strategy and Performance Overview
How did the Fund perform?
The Dryden Global Total Return Fund’s Class A shares posted a total returned 7.81% for the 10-month reporting period ended October 31, 2007*, underperforming the 8.51% total return of the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI)—Unhedged, which does not include the effect of mutual fund operating expenses. The Fund’s Class A shares outperformed the 6.13% total return of the Lipper Global Income Funds Average.
What were conditions like in the global bond market during the reporting period?
A powerful global economic expansion continued, despite concern a severely weakened housing industry in the United States could drag its economy into a recession that might slow growth worldwide if U.S. consumers cut back on spending. Brisk economic growth coupled with rising inflation in the 13-nation euro zone and the United Kingdom had prompted their respective central banks to tighten monetary policy during the first seven months of 2007 to cool off their economies. The Bank of England (BOE) increased its benchmark interest rate from 5.00% to 5.75% and the European Central Bank (ECB) raised its key interest rate from 3.50% to 4.00%. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) also nudged its target rate for overnight loans from 0.25% to 0.50%. The short-term rate increases, and expectation in financial markets for additional rate hikes later in the year, pressured the U.K., European, and Japanese bond markets, as bond prices fall when interest rates rise (and vice versa.)
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) initially left short-term rates unchanged in the United States, though it repeatedly expressed concern about inflationary pressures in the world’s largest economy. From January through May, sentiment in the U.S. bond market largely shifted between two views—the Fed would soon ease monetary policy to reinvigorate the economy, or the Fed would leave short-term rates unchanged as the economic expansion remained healthy, despite the worsening state of affairs in the housing and mortgage industries. Conditions in the U.S. bond market began to deteriorate in June as two prominent hedge funds that invested in debt securities linked to subprime mortgages (home loans made to borrowers with poor credit histories) nearly collapsed. By month-end, widespread concern about loose lending standards forced some companies involved in leveraged buyouts to postpone issuing low-quality bonds whose proceeds were intended to help pay for deals.
The credit crunch deepened in July as two major credit rating agencies downgraded ratings on hundreds of subprime mortgage-backed bonds worth billions of dollars. Risk-averse investors flocked to U.S. Treasury securities, which caused the AAA-rated

debt securities to rally while other sectors came under pressure. There was also a flight to quality to the government bonds of some other economically developed nations such as Germany and the United Kingdom.
Central banks responded to the subprime mortgage crisis in early August, prompted by signs of distress in global credit markets. The Fed, the ECB, the BOJ, and the Reserve Bank of Australia injected massive amounts of cash into their banking systems to boost liquidity. In mid-August, the Fed reduced the discount rate it charges banks to borrow from its discount window by a half point. In mid-September, it cut its target for the federal funds rate on overnight loans between banks and the discount rate by a half point. Finally, in late October, it cut both short-term rates by another quarter point, which lowered its target for the federal funds rate to 4.50% and the discount rate to 5.00%.
The U.S. fixed income market responded positively to the short-term rate cuts as bond prices generally rallied in August, September, and October, though a resurgence of concern about the credit crisis pressured lower-quality bond prices in October. Considering the massive losses reported by some financial institutions with exposure to risky mortgages, it is not surprising that, for the reporting period, ultra-safe U.S. Treasurys posted a 5.68% return that outperformed most other sectors, including investment-grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate “junk” bonds, federal agency securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities, which are backed by payments on credit cards, auto loans, and other types of consumer loans.
How did the Fund’s allocation to the global bond market affect its performance?
The Fund maintained a diversified portfolio of bonds, the bulk of which consisted of government and corporate bonds of issuers from economically developed nations such as the United States, Japan, and Germany. Developments in the foreign exchange market had a large impact on global bond returns. For example, government bond markets of economically developed nations other than the United States posted returns below that of U.S. Treasurys when expressed in local currency terms. However, when translated into U.S. dollars without hedging for foreign exchange risk, their total returns jumped sharply, reflecting large gains in their currencies versus the U.S. dollar. That said, allocation in the U.S. fixed income market had the biggest impact on the Fund’s performance. Its holdings in investment-grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds, federal agency securities, and residential mortgage-backed securities detracted from its performance because these sectors underperformed U.S. Treasurys, which are included in the WGBI—Unhedged.

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
How did the Fund’s foreign exchange strategy affect its performance?
Lower interest rates in the United States and prospects for a recession in its economy dramatically weakened the U.S. dollar versus all major currencies, particularly those of nations whose economies benefited from rising commodity prices. Thus, the Canadian dollar gained roughly 24% versus the U.S. dollar, the Australian dollar about 19%, the Norwegian krone about 16%, and the New Zealand dollar roughly 10%. The euro also gained about 10%, helped in part by central banks diversifying their currency reserves away from the U.S. dollar in favor of the single European currency. The Japanese yen rose roughly 3.0%, helped by the risk-averse environment that tended to discourage investors from selling Japanese yen to purchase assets in higher yielding currencies. This strategy, known as the yen carry trade, had been popular in recent years.
The Fund’s foreign exchange strategy made a significant positive contribution to its return. Specifically, it benefited from having a smaller exposure to the U.S. dollar than the WGBI—Unhedged and from its exposure to the Australian dollar, the new Turkish lira, the Brazilian real, the Colombian peso, the South African rand, the Polish zloty and certain currencies of other nations with relatively high interest rates.
How did the Fund’s yield curve strategy affect its performance?
The U.S. yield curve is a single line graph that depicts yields on bonds of the same type and credit quality from the shortest to the longest maturities. It is usually positively sloped as shorter-term bonds have lower yields than longer-term bonds. The Fund had a “yield curve flattener” strategy in place that emphasized long-term bonds over shorter-term bonds. This approach had benefited the Fund in prior years when yields on long-term bonds had declined more than yields on shorter-term bonds, causing the slope of the yield curve to flatten and enabling long-term bonds to outperform shorter-term bonds.
However, the yield curve behaved differently during the reporting period. Yields on shorter-term bonds—the most sensitive to changes in the federal funds rate—declined more than yields on long-term bonds, causing the slope of the yield curve to become steeper and enabling shorter-term bonds to outperform long-term bonds. Thus, the Fund’s strategy that emphasized the latter detracted from its performance.

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 May 1, 2007, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2007. 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.

Fees and Expenses (continued)
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 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 184 days in the six-month period ended October 31, 2007, and divided by 365 days to reflect the six-month period. Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. | | 33 |
Notes to Financial Statements
Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), is an open-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return made up of current income and capital appreciation.
The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing at least 65% of its total assets in income-producing debt securities issued by the U.S. and foreign corporations and governments, supranational organizations, semi-government entities or governmental agencies, authorities or instrumentalities and short-term bank debt securities or bank deposits. The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade securities denominated in U.S. dollars and in foreign currencies.
The Fund’s fiscal year has changed from an annual reporting period that ends December 31 to one that ends October 31. This change should have no impact on the way the Fund is managed. Shareholders will receive future annual and semiannual reports on the new fiscal year-end schedule.
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation: In valuing the Fund’s assets, quotations of foreign securities in a foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the then current currency value. Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange or market on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such a 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 in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”), in consultation with the subadvisor, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Corporate bonds, U.S. Government securities and convertible debt securities traded in the over-the-counter market, including securities listed on exchanges whose primary market is believed to be over-the counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Options on securities and indices traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange or, if there was no sale, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange. Future 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 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 Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures 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 values. As of October 31, 2007, there were no securities whose values were adjusted in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Directors.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the valuation.
Short-term debt securities which mature in sixty days or less 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 the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term debt securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotations.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities-at the current rates of exchange.
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses-at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements
continued
Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, these realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.
Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from sales and maturities of short-term securities and forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, discount and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses resulting from valuing foreign currency denominated assets (excluding investments) and liabilities at period-end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies.
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. companies as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political or economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.
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 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 or loss on financial futures contracts.
| | |

The Fund invests 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. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, 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.
Forward Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The Fund enters into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the trade date and settlement value. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Options: The Fund may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates with respect to securities, which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Fund’s principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, a Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on options written.

The Fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. The Fund, as purchaser of an option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Swaps: The Fund may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Fund enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest and may involve payment/receipt of a premium at the time of initiation of the swap agreement. The Fund’s swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. The swaps are valued daily at current market value and any unrealized gain or loss is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gain or loss is realized on the termination date of the swap and is equal to the difference between the Fund’s cost basis in the swap and the proceeds of the closing transaction, including any fees.
During the period that the swap agreement is open, the Fund may be subject to risk from the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement.
Risk: Forward currency contracts, written options, financial futures contracts, and swap agreements involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Lower rated or unrated securities are more likely to react to developments affecting market risk (general market liquidity) and credit risk (an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations) than are more highly rated securities, which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or region.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.
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: The Fund expects to pay dividends of net investment income quarterly and distributions of net realized capital and currency gains, if any, annually. Foreign currency losses may reduce the amount of dividends of net investment income. 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 to paid-in capital when they arise.
Taxes: 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 its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Withholding taxes on foreign interest 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 amounts.
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 subadviser’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

continued
books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of PIM, the cost of compensation of officers of 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 .65 of 1% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and .60 of 1% of such assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .65 of 1% for the ten months ended October 31, 2007.
PI has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund in order to limit operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and certain extraordinary expenses) to 1.35%, 2.10%, 1.85%, and 1.10% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, and Z shares, respectively, which for the ten months ended October 31, 2007 amounted to $9,218.
The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class 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 and C Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. 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 of 1%, 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, and C shares, respectively. For the ten months ended October 31, 2007, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25 of 1% and .75 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class C shares, respectively.
PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $11,100 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the ten months ended October 31, 2007. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to affiliated broker-dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.
PIMS has advised the Fund that for the ten months ended October 31, 2007, it received approximately $8,200 and $1,100 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

PI, PIM and PIMS are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).
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 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. For the period from October 27, 2006 through October 26, 2007, the Funds paid a commitment fee of .07 of 1% of the unused portion of the agreement. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions.
The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the ten months ended October 31, 2007.
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. Transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement 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”), affiliates of PI. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the ten months ended October 31, 2007 the Fund incurred approximately $67,500 in total networking fees of which approximately $27,200 was paid to First Clearing. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund invests in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “Portfolio”), a portfolio of Dryden Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Portfolio is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.

Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information
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-dividends date.
In order to present accumulated net investment loss, accumulated net realized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions and paid-in capital in excess of par on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to accumulated net investment loss, accumulated net realized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions and paid-in capital in excess of par.
For the ten-month period ended October 31, 2007, the adjustments were to decrease accumulated net investment loss by $2,927,613, increase accumulated net realized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions by $2,381,534 and decrease paid-in-capital in excess of par by $546,079, due to reclassification of foreign currency losses, differences in the treatment of premium amortization and other book to tax adjustments. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this change.
The tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets was $4,055,699 of ordinary income for the ten-month period ended October 31, 2007. The tax character of dividends paid was $3,828,336 of ordinary income for the year ended December 31, 2006. The tax character of dividends paid was $10,417,777 and $1,678,641 of ordinary income and tax return of capital, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005.

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2007, of approximately $18,677,700, of which $5,073,400 expires in 2008, $3,491,000 expires in 2009, $7,581,800 expires in 2010, $2,252,000 expires in 2014 and $279,500 expires in 2015. During the fiscal period ended October 31, 2007, approximately $546,100 of the capital loss carryforward expired unused. Accordingly, no capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward. It is unlikely the Fund will be able to realize the full benefit of the remaining carryforwards prior to the expiration dates.
As of October 31, 2007, the Fund had accumulated undistributed ordinary income of $2,443,909. As of December 31, 2006, the Fund had accumulated undistributed ordinary income of $412,706.
The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized depreciation as of October 31, 2007 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Tax Basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | Other Cost Basis Adjustments | | Total Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$130,311,550 | | $4,173,962 | | $(1,527,762) | | $2,646,200 | | $(321,148) | | $2,325,052 |
The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to the deferred losses on wash sales, difference in the treatment of accreting market discount and amortization of premiums and deferred losses on straddles. Other cost basis adjustments are attributable to net depreciation of foreign currency, mark-to-market of receivables and payables, swaps and written options.
Note 6. Capital
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.50%. 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%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1% during the first 12 months. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified 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.

Note 7. New Accounting Pronouncements
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The impact of the tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded in the year in which they arise. On December 22, 2006 the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the effective date until the last net asset value calculation in the first required financial reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. The Fund’s financial statements have not been impacted by the adoption of FIN 48. However, the conclusions regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including but not limited to, further implementation guidance expected from FASB, and ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
On September 20, 2006, the 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the period ended October 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the statement of changes in net assets for the period ended October 31, 2007 and each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for the period ended October 31, 2007 and each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the years presented prior to the year ended December 31, 2004, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, whose report dated February 20, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2007, and the results of its operations for the period ended October 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the changes in its net assets for the period ended October 31, 2007 and each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for the period ended October 31, 2007 and each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal Income Tax Information
(Unaudited)
We are required by the Internal Revenue Code to advise you within 60 days of the Fund’s ten-month period end October 31, 2007 as to the federal tax status of distributions paid by the Fund during such fiscal period. Accordingly, we are advising you that during its fiscal period ended October 31, 2007, the Fund paid an ordinary income dividends for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of $0.2099 per share, $0.1721 per share, $0.1861 per share and $0.2225 per share, respectively, which represents net investment income.
We are required by New York, California, Massachusetts, Missouri and Oregon to inform you that dividends which have been derived from federal obligations are not taxable to shareholders provided the mutual fund meets certain requirements mandated by the respective states’ taxing authorities. We are pleased to report that 1.82% of the dividends paid by the Fund qualify for such deductions. Due to certain minimum portfolio holding requirements in California, Connecticut and New York, residents of those states will not be able to exclude interest on federal obligations from state and local tax.
The Fund designates 42.45% of the ordinary income dividends as interest related dividends under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
In January 2008, you will be advised on IRS Form 1099-DIV or substitute 1099-DIV as to the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received by you in calendar year 2007.
For more detailed information regarding your federal, state and local taxes, you should contact your tax adviser.

Performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. An investor may obtain performance data as of the most recent month-end by visiting our website at www.jennisondryden.com or by calling (800) 225-1852. The maximum initial sales charge is 4.50% (Class A shares). Gross operating expenses: Class A, 1.42%; Class B, 2.12%; Class C, 2.12%; Class Z, 1.12%. Net operating expenses apply to: Class A, 1.37%; Class B, 2.12%; Class C, 1.87%; Class Z, 1.12%, after contractual reduction through 2/28/2009.
The returns in the graph and the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (Class A shares) with a similar investment in the Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged by portraying the initial account values at the beginning of the 10-year period for Class A shares (October 31, 1997) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (October 31, 2007) as measured on a quarterly basis. For purposes of the graph, and unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that (a) the maximum applicable front-end sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000 investment in Class A shares; (b) all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (c) all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The line graph provides information for Class A shares only. As indicated in the tables provided earlier, performance for Class B, C, and Z shares will vary due to the differing charges and expenses applicable to each share class (as indicated in the following paragraphs). Without a distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% annually and expense subsidization for Class A shares through October 31, 2007, the returns shown in the graph and for Class A shares in the tables would have been lower.
The Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged is a market capitalization-weighted index consisting of the government bond markets of 18 countries, which are selected based on market-capitalization and investability criteria. All issues have a remaining maturity of at least one year. The Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged’s total returns include the reinvestment of all dividends, but do not include the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. The returns for the Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses, or taxes. The securities that comprise the Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged may differ substantially from the securities in the Fund. This is not the only index that may be used to characterize performance of global/international bond funds. Other indexes may portray different comparative performance. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50% and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually, and 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%. 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 1% 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 Class C 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. Without waiver of fees and/or expense subsidization, the Fund’s total returns would have been lower. The returns in the graph and tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period.

THE PRUDENTIAL MUTUAL FUNDS
AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY
on
Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Accountants
The Audit Committee of each Prudential Mutual Fund is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:
| • | | a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided, |
| • | | a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and |
| • | | periodic meetings with the accounting firm. |
Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds
On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services. Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Proposed services shall be described in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness of such services and fees, and the compatibility of the provision of such services with the auditor’s independence. The Committee shall receive periodic reports on the progress of the audit and other services which are approved by the Committee or by the Committee Chair pursuant to authority delegated in this Policy.
The categories of services enumerated under “Audit Services”, “Audit-related Services”, and “Tax Services” are intended to provide guidance to the Treasurer and the independent accountants as to those categories of services which the Committee believes are generally consistent with the independence of the independent accountants and which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would expect upon the presentation of specific proposals to pre-approve. The enumerated categories are not intended as an exclusive list of audit, audit-related or tax services, which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would consider for pre-approval.
Audit Services
The following categories of audit services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | | Annual Fund financial statement audits |
| • | | Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required) |
| • | | SEC and regulatory filings and consents |
Audit-related Services
The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | | Accounting consultations |
| • | | Fund merger support services |
| • | | Agreed Upon Procedure Reports |
| • | | Other Internal Control Reports |
Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.
Tax Services
The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | | Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following: |
| • | | Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and, |
| • | | Sales and use tax compliance |
| • | | Timely RIC qualification reviews |
| • | | Tax distribution analysis and planning |
| • | | Tax authority examination services |
| • | | Tax appeals support services |
| • | | Accounting methods studies |
| • | | Fund merger support services |
| • | | Tax consulting services and related projects |
Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.
Other Non-audit Services
Certain non-audit services that the independent accountants are legally permitted to render will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee or by one or more Committee members to whom the Committee has delegated this authority and who will report to the full Committee any pre-approval decisions made pursuant to this Policy. Non-audit services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.
Proscribed Services
The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:
| • | | Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund |
| • | | Financial information systems design and implementation |
| • | | Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports |
| • | | Internal audit outsourcing services |
| • | | Management functions or human resources |
| • | | Broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services |
| • | | Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit |
| • | | Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible. |
Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities Within the Prudential Fund Complex
Certain non-audit services provided to Prudential Investments LLC or any of its affiliates that also provide ongoing services to the Prudential Mutual Funds will be subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The only non-audit services provided to these entities that will require pre-approval are those related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Individual projects that are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000. Services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.
Although the Audit Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to Prudential Investments LLC and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to Prudential Investments and its affiliates.
(e) (2) Percentage of services referred to in 4(b)- (4)(d) that were approved by the audit committee –
Not applicable.
(f) Percentage of hours expended attributable to work performed by other than full time employees of principal accountant if greater than 50%.

(h) Principal Accountant’s Independence
Not applicable as KPMG has not provided non-audit services to the Registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X.
