Dear Shareholder:
Recently we announced the renaming of JennisonDryden, Prudential Financial’s mutual fund family, to Prudential Investments. As a result of this change, each of our funds has been renamed to feature “Prudential” as part of its new name. The name of your fund has changed from the Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. to the Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc.
While the name of your fund has changed, its investment objectives and portfolio management team remain the same. No action is required on your part. If you participate in an automatic investment plan, your account continues to be invested in the Fund under its new name.
Featuring the Prudential name in our funds creates an immediate connection to the experience and heritage of Prudential, a name recognized by millions for helping people grow and protect their wealth.
On the following pages, you will 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. If you have questions about your fund or the renaming of our mutual fund family, please contact your financial professional or visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com.
Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President

The 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. 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. 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.

Benchmark Definitions
Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI)
The Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI) is an unhedged and unmanaged market capitalization-weighted index consisting of the government bond markets of 23 countries that are selected based on market capitalization and investability criteria. All issues have a remaining maturity of at least one year.
Lipper Global Income Funds Average
The 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.
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.

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 November 1, 2009, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2010. 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 below 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 181 days in the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2010 (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)
Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (formerly 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.
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
| | |
46 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
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. 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.
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 of sufficient credit quality which mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, 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. 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.
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
| | |
Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. | | 47 |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
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 its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value
| | |

caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. 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. Financial futures contracts involve elements of risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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 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 settlement value of the original and renegotiated forward contracts. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.
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 or foreign currencies, 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 the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the 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, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the
| | |
Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. | | 49 |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost 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 at the closing of a 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 over-the-counter option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
With exchange-traded futures and options contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange traded futures and options, guarantees the futures and options contracts against default.
Swap Agreements: The Fund may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and other forms of swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses upon termination or maturity of the swap.
Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Portfolio of Investments.
Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to either maintain its ability to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments or to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments using interest
| | |
50 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
rate swap contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.
Credit Default Swaps: Credit default swaps involve one party (the protection buyer) making a stream of payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for the right to receive a specified payment in the event of a default or as a result of a default (“credit event”) for the referenced party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation; or in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising a credit index.
The Fund may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. The Fund may use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds, which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. The Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk for purchased credit default swaps is the notional value of a credit default swap agreement. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.
As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection an agreed upon payment throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, the Fund would effectively increase investment risk to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund may be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
The maximum amount of the payment that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to pay under a credit default swap agreement would be equal to the notional
| | |
Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. | | 51 |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
amount of the underlying security or index contract as a result of a credit event. These potential amounts will be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, or net amounts received from the settlement of credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund as a buyer for the same referenced entity or index. As a buyer of protection, the Fund generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of reporting date are disclosed in the footnotes to the Portfolio of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying /selling protection and may include upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credits spreads and increasing market value in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
In addition to each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure (e.g. interest rate, credit, equity or foreign exchange, etc.), swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreement, and that there will be unfavorable changes in net interest rates. In connection with these agreements, securities in the portfolio may be identified as collateral or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency of either party. Such over-the-counter derivative agreements include conditions which when materialized, give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty for early termination of the contract(s) may impact the amounts reported on financial statements.
| | |
52 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
As of April 30, 2010, the Fund has not met conditions under such agreements that give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.
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 Statement 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 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 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.60% of such assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was 0.65% for the six months ended April 30, 2010.
PI has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Fund in order to limit operating expenses (excluding distribution and service (12b-1) fees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and certain extraordinary expenses) to 1.10% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, and Z shares, respectively, which for the six months ended April 30, 2010 amounted to $43,049.
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 0.30%, 1% and 1% of the average daily

net assets of the Class A, B, and C shares, respectively. Through February 28, 2011, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to 0.25% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class C shares, respectively.
PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received $45,810 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended April 30, 2010. 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 six months ended April 30, 2010, it received $4,365 and $126 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”).
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 Wells Fargo Advisors LLC (“Wells Fargo”), an affiliate of PI through December 31, 2009. 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, 2010 the Fund incurred approximately $44,500 in total networking fees of which approximately $6,300 was paid to Wells Fargo through December 31, 2009. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (formerly Taxable Money Market Series)(the “Portfolio”), a portfolio of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 (formerly Dryden Core Investment Fund). The Portfolio is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Portfolio is disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.

Note 4. Portfolio Securities
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding U.S. Government securities and short-term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 2010 aggregated $37,055,100 and $49,305,712 respectively.
Note 5. Tax Information
The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of April 30, 2010 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Tax Basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$112,817,678 | | $8,270,830 | | $(2,809,949) | | $5,460,881 |
The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to the deferred losses on wash sales and difference in the treatment of amortization of premiums.
For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2009, of approximately $17,355,500, of which $7,581,800 expires in 2010, $2,252,000 expires in 2014, $279,500 expires in 2015, $4,766,500 expires in 2016 and $2,475,700 expires in 2017. During the year ended October 31, 2009, approximately $3,491,000 of the capital loss carryforward was written off unused due to expiration. 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 uncertain if the Fund will be able to realize the full benefit of the remaining carryforwards prior to the expiration dates.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on the federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of April 30, 2010, 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.

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.

Note 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 22, 2009, 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 0.15% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 20, 2010. 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, 2010. The average daily balance for the 2 days the Fund had loans outstanding during the period was approximately $1,656,500 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.39%.
Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncement
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
Note 9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
