Dear Shareholder:

We hope you find the annual report for the Jennison Value Fund informative and useful. As a JennisonDryden mutual fund shareholder, you may be thinking about where you can find additional growth opportunities. You could invest in last year’s top-performing asset class and hope that history repeats itself or you could stay in cash while waiting for the “right moment” to invest.

Instead, we believe it is better to take advantage of developing domestic and global investment opportunities through a diversified portfolio of stock and bond mutual funds. A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages. It helps you manage downside risk by not being overly exposed to any particular asset class, plus it gives you a better opportunity to have at least some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include mutual funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and tolerance for risk. Keep in mind that diversification and asset allocation do not assure against loss in declining markets.

JennisonDryden Mutual Funds gives you a wide range of choices that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds offer the experience, resources, and professional discipline of four leading asset managers. They are recognized and respected in the institutional market and by discerning investors for excellence in their respective strategies. JennisonDryden equity funds are advised by Jennison Associates LLC, Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA), or PREI^® (Prudential Real Estate Investors). Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (PIM) advises the JennisonDryden fixed income and money market funds. Jennison Associates, QMA, and PIM are registered investment advisers and Prudential Financial companies.

Thank you for choosing JennisonDryden Mutual Funds.

Sincerely,

The cumulative total returns do not reflect the deduction of applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total returns performance quoted. The average annual total returns assume the payment of the maximum applicable sales charge. Class A and Class L shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5%, 1%, 1%, 6%, and 6%, respectively. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge.

Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.

²The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index comprising those securities in the Russell 1000 Index with a less-than-average growth orientation. Companies in this index generally have low price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios, higher dividend yields, and lower forecasted growth values.

³The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives an indication of how U.S. stock prices have performed.

⁴The Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on an average return of all funds in the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average typically have a below-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared with the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index.

⁵The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R, and Class X shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 0.50%, 1.00%, 0.75%, and 1.00%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Approximately eight years after purchase, Class M shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis.

Strategy and Performance Overview

How did the Fund perform?

The Jennison Value Fund Class A shares declined 9.95% for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Value Index (the Index), which declined 14.66%, and the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Average, which was down 14.96%. The Fund also outperformed the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Average, which fell 14.33%.

Within the benchmark, the energy, healthcare, and consumer staples sectors added a nominal amount to returns. The Fund’s energy positions bolstered performance and meaningfully outperformed those held by the Index. Securities in the industrials sector also made a positive impact on the Fund’s returns and outperformed the Index by a wide margin. Stocks in the consumer staples sector finished in positive territory, and the Fund’s larger exposure to the sector lifted relative performance. Although the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors landed in negative territory, stronger stock selection in both sectors resulted with gains relative to the Index.

The beleaguered financials sector was the largest detractor from returns in the Fund and in the Index. While the Fund’s holdings in financials trailed those held by the Index, the Fund’s lower exposure to this weak sector meaningfully mitigated losses. Positions in materials and telecommunication services were also a drag on returns.

What was the market environment like during the reporting period?

Problems stemming from the subprime mortgage market spread throughout the financial system in the year ended August 31, 2008, creating a full-blown liquidity/credit crisis that roiled global markets. Engulfed in the spiraling credit crisis, the financial sector turned in its worst performance in recent history. Major banks and brokerage houses reported additional write-downs, exceeding previous estimations of losses tied to the securitization of subprime mortgage loans. When events became even more chaotic in March, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department intervened to facilitate the sale of the faltering securities firm Bear Stearns, which had been immobilized by liquidity problems.

The salutary effects of these actions were limited, however. Increased loan defaults and higher rates of non-performing assets throughout the global financial system reflected a growing list of consumer woes—substantial housing declines, tighter lending standards, rampant energy price escalation (crude oil and gasoline prices soared to record highs), and food price inflation. Softening labor markets and broadening declines in consumption joined housing weakness and higher commodity prices as strains on the economy. Declining markets and the U.S. dollar’s devaluation

soured consumer sentiment. Citing increased concerns about inflationary pressures stemming from rising food and energy prices, the Federal Open Market Committee held short-term interest rates steady at its June and August 2008 meetings, ending a series of rate reductions that began in September 2007. It noted that tight credit conditions, the ongoing housing contraction, and the rise in energy prices are likely to weigh on economic growth over the next few quarters, as economic activity continues to be anemic.

Which holdings made the largest positive contribution to the Fund’s return?

H&R Block was the top contributor and delivered a double-digit return, rising primarily on the sale of its Option One mortgage business. The nationwide tax preparer subsequently entered into an agreement with bank regulators, in which the company can reduce the amount of capital it is required to maintain. This agreement enabled H&R Block to announce a $2 billion stock buyback authorization. Additionally, H&R Block has agreed to sell its securities brokerage unit, H&R Block Financial Advisors, to Ameriprise Financial, Inc., leaving its core tax preparation business, which is gaining market share. The manager believes the company is well positioned, especially from recently implemented cost saving initiatives and growth in H&R’s Express Tax offices. The manager has taken some profit due to H&R Block’s valuation.

Energy positions Petroleo Brasileiro (Petrobras), Hess and Occidental Petroleum were among the top four strongest contributors. Brazilian oil and gas company Petrobras was a stellar performer, mostly due to the announcement that its Tupi Sul discovery in the Santos Basin off the coast of Brazil may hold five to eight billion barrels of crude oil, in addition to massive natural gas reserves. While the manager retains its conviction in Petrobras, Jennison has taken some profit during the reporting period due to its favorable valuation.

Shares of global integrated energy company Hess appreciated considerably as the company expanded reserve life and production. The company’s exploration in Brazil also boosted the stock price. Since the Fund’s initial purchase in October 2005, Hess appreciated approximately 140% (adjusted for a 3:1 stock split), with some valuation help from Brazilian speculation. Jennison took profit and sold the position, taking advantage of a favorable valuation. The manager believes the secular, or long-term, supply/demand imbalance for many commodities will persist. However, in the short- to medium-term there could be a cyclical correction as demand moderates. Within the oil and gas industry, the manager continues to focus on companies with solid international production growth, exposure to resource opportunities, and attractive valuations.

retail stores in various formats around the world. The company’s operations comprise three business segments: Wal-Mart Stores, Sam’s Club, and International. The merchandising initiatives put in place nearly two years ago are finally bearing fruit. While traffic remains challenging, the combination of difficult economic times and a re-focus on the all-important value proposition (“Save money. Live Better.”), in Jennison’s view, positions the company well for the remainder of this calendar year.

Insurance and reinsurance company XL Capital Ltd. showed particular strength. The Fund opened a position in XL, whose shares were trading at their lowest levels in a decade, in mid-July. XL rose approximately 17% from the initial purchase on July 11 to July 22, and the Fund sold at a profit due to XL’s valuation. Jennison became concerned the stock would drop upon reaching a settlement with the New York State insurance regulator that would allow XL to separate the liabilities associated with Security Capital Assurance Ltd., a financial guarantee company involved in the subprime and CDO markets, from the XL balance sheet. Jennison anticipated that, in order to reach a settlement, XL would have to make a large payment to the subsidiary. The Fund then re-purchased XL at the end of July, after its stock price bottomed. With the approval of the insurance commissions of Delaware, New York and Bermuda, the future risk to XL is minimized. The manager also has confidence its new CEO can lead the stock higher. XL outperformed in August after A.M. Best Co., a key rating agency for insurance companies, removed XL from “under review” and affirmed issuer credit ratings of “bbb.” A.M. Best also affirmed all of XL’s debt ratings and life/health subsidiaries’ ratings as stable. While this was expected, many of XL’s clients have been waiting for this affirmation and removal of negative review to resume full normal business ties with XL.

What holdings detracted most from the Fund’s return?

Financials stocks, Fannie Mae, American International Group (AIG), Citigroup and MBIA were the largest detractors from performance. Fannie Mae was a government sponsored enterprise (GSE) that provided funds to mortgage lenders. The manager thought Fannie Mae would be able to navigate through the mortgage crisis, and should the company need to raise capital, Jennison did not think it would be as much as most believed. Jennison also thought Fannie Mae could win new business at very attractive spreads, both from non-GSE mortgage players and from fellow GSE Freddie Mac, who had a deeper capital need than Fannie. In this past August, the stock fell sharply as the company accelerated the time of recognition of reserve loss, which negatively impacted earnings. The manager maintained the position, as its estimate of Fannie’s cumulative losses remained unchanged. Fannie continued to decline further as fears mounted that it, as well as Freddie Mac, will soon need a bailout from the government, leaving stockholders with nothing. (Note: Shortly after the Fund’s reporting period, the U.S. Government seized control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.)

Jennison Value Fund 7

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)

The Fund invested in AIG for its unmatched global property/casualty and life insurance businesses. AIG also has a great financial services franchise, including one of the world’s premier airplane leasing businesses (ILFC). AIG’s financial products business, which historically had been extremely profitable while navigating complicated financial markets, had become deeply troubled as the credit markets quickly deteriorated. AIG holds highly desirable businesses and assets. AIG’s extensive efforts to shore up its capital base in the wake of frozen credit markets left it unable to raise enough capital to keep its share value from plunging. Despite AIG’s having raised capital, the market is concerned that the company will have to raise more capital if rating agencies downgrade it; a downgrade would require AIG to post collateral against its counterparty obligations. The cost of a de-risking strategy especially for AIG’s credit default swap (CDS) business is another concern. (Note: Shortly after the reporting period The U.S. Federal Reserve took control of AIG in an $85 billion bailout to prevent the country’s largest insurer from failing.)

MBIA, the bond insurer, conducts most of its business in municipal bond guarantees. However, nearly a third of its holdings were comprised of structured finance guarantees designed to provide credit protection to issuers of highly complex debt transactions. This smaller portion of MBIA’s portfolio had garnered the market’s focus without the acknowledgement it was 95% AAA rated. The company attempted to assure investors that its exposure to subprime debt was minimal. Despite the fall in MBIA’s share price, the manager remained comfortable with the Fund’s position in MBIA, especially after the company received over $1 billion from a major private equity firm to help shore up the balance sheet and offset losses. To the manager’s dismay, however, what were thought to be “plain-vanilla” CDOs were later reclassified by MBIA as “CDOs-squared,” which are high-risk derivatives. This news undermined the manager’s confidence, and the Fund sold its MBIA position in January.

In telecommunications, Virgin Mobile USA was the weakest performer. The Fund initially purchased Virgin Mobile USA, which provides prepaid wireless services over Sprint’s Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, in October at the company’s IPO. Virgin Mobile shares significantly underperformed after the company issued disappointing forecasts, exacerbating fears of its sustainability of future growth due to increased competition from the traditional carriers for pre-paid customers and a weaker economic outlook. The Fund continues to hold Virgin Mobile USA, as the manager monitors the competitive environment, particularly for revenue from its sales of handsets.

Were there significant changes to the portfolio?

During the reporting period there were no significant changes to the portfolio. The Fund is constructed one stock at a time based on in-house analysis of individual company fundamentals rather than on overarching themes. The determination of a stock’s weighting is as much a part of this bottom-up process as is the decision to include the stock in the portfolio. Sector and industry allocations are an outgrowth of this stock selection process.

Jennison Value Fund 9

Comments on Five Largest Holdings

3.3% Symantec Corp., Software

Symantec provides a range of tools to help individuals and enterprises assure the security, availability, and integrity of their IT infrastructure and data. Symantec outperformed after the company reported two consecutive quarters that exceeded analysts’ expectations. The manager believes these results highlight Symantec’s turnaround and should improve investor sentiment, leading the stock higher.

3.2% Comcast Corp. (Class A), Media

Comcast, the largest U.S. provider of cable services, should continue to make solid gains in higher-margin phone and data subscriptions that should offset losses on seasonal declines in basic video subscriptions. With declining capital expenditures and expected rising earnings from sales of its triple-play package, the manager believes Comcast will be able to generate significant and growing free cash flow and is attractively valued with a long-term competitive position.

2.8% NII Holdings, Inc., Wireless Telecommunication Services

NII Holdings is one of the only post-paid wireless providers in the rapidly growing emerging markets of Latin America, Mexico, and Brazil. The manager believes it is growing at a faster rate than other wireless companies, and is encouraged by the company’s new CEO and recent stock repurchase programs.

2.7% Liberty Global, Inc. (Series C), Media

Liberty Global is an international communications provider of video, voice and broadband Internet services, with consolidated broadband communications and/or direct-to-home satellite operations. The manager retains its confidence in Liberty Global, which has a higher free cash flow yield and lower enterprise value to earnings than comparable U.S. cable companies but operates in faster growing markets. (Enterprise value is a more accurate measure of valuation, including a firm’s debt.) Additionally, the company’s management has reiterated its commitment to buy back stock in large volumes. It should be noted that the company has used internally generated cash flow to buy back roughly 30% of the shares outstanding in the last 3 years.

2.6% H&R Block, Inc., Diversified Consumer Services

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 March 1, 2008, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended August 31, 2008. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and 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

Jennison Value Fund 11

Fees and Expenses (continued)

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.

Jennison Value Fund 23

Notes to Financial Statements

JennisonDryden Portfolios, Inc.—Jennison Value Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end, management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation. It seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in common stocks and convertible securities that provide investment income returns above those of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index or the NYSE Composite Index.

The Fund’s fiscal year has changed from an annual reporting period that ends October 31 to one that ends August 31, effective August 31, 2007. This change should have no impact on the way the Fund is managed. Shareholders will receive future annual and semi-annual 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.

Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities traded via Nasdaq are valued at the official closing price provided by Nasdaq. 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 subadviser; to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which reliable 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 Series’ normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the

Board of Trustees’ 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 August 31, 2008, there were no securities whose values were impacted by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market.

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 valuation.

Short-term debt securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market-value. The amortized cost method includes 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 60 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.

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 securities held at the end of the fiscal year. 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 portfolio securities sold during the fiscal year. Accordingly, 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 the holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest 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 from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin 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.

Restricted Securities: The Fund may hold up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities held by the Fund at the end of the fiscal period may include registration rights under which the Fund may demand registration by the issuers, of which the Fund may bear the cost of such registration. Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and 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 an 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.

Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, it is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements under the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund expects to pay dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital and currency gains, if any, annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Securities Lending: The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal, at all times, to the market value of the securities loaned.

Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Fund securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Fund has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Fund recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Fund also continues to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognizes any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 subadvisors’ performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). The subadvisory agreement provides that Jennison furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, Jennison assumes the day-to-day management responsibilities of the Fund and is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of Jennison, the cost of compensation of officers and employees 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 computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .60 of 1% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, .50 of 1% of the next $500 million, .475 of 1% of the next $500 million and .45 of 1% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. The effective management fee rate was .54 of 1% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the year ended August 31, 2008.

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, Class L, Class M, Class R, Class X and Class Z shares. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R and Class X shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C, L, M, R and X Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred. 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, C, L, M, R and X Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1%, 1%, .50 of 1%, 1%, .75 of 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, L, M, R and X shares, respectively. For the period through February 29, 2008, PIMS had contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. However, effective March 1, 2008 such waiver has been terminated. The effective distribution fee rate for Class A was .27 of 1% for the year ended August 31, 2008. Class R fees continue to be limited to .50 of 1% of the average daily net assets to December 31, 2009. Subsequent to year end, management determined that Class X shareholders had been charged sales charges in excess of regulatory limits. The manager has agreed to pay for the over charge. This amount is reflected as a reduction to current distribution expense and a contribution to capital. The impact of this matter for the ten months ended August 31, 2007 has been reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and in the Financial Highlights.

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $271,500 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares, during the year ended August 31, 2008. 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 year ended August 31, 2008, it received approximately $100, $110,700, $10,300, $21,600 and $3,300 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M and Class X shareholders, respectively.

PI, PIMS and Jennison 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 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 year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund incurred approximately $368,600 in total networking fees, of which approximately $160,300 and $400 were paid to First Clearing and Wachovia, respectively. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Fund’s security lending agent. For the year ended August 31, 2008 PIM has been compensated approximately $476,600 for these services.

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

net investment income, accumulated net realized gain on investment 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 undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investment and foreign currency transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2008, the adjustments were to decrease undistributed net investment income by $62,872, increase accumulated net realized gain on investment and foreign currency transactions by $65,682 and increase paid-in capital in excess of par by $4,004 due to the reclassification of net foreign currency losses and other book to tax adjustments. Net investment income, net realized gain on investment and foreign currency transactions and net assets were not affected by this change.

For the year ended August 31, 2008, the tax character of dividends and distributions paid by the fund were $55,030,114 from ordinary income and $144,903,019 from long-term capital gains. For the ten-months ended August 31, 2007, the tax character of distributions paid by the Fund were $28,870,957 from ordinary income and $99,172,530 from long-term capital gains.

As of August 31, 2008, the accumulated undistributed earnings on tax basis consisted of $5,695,510 from ordinary income and $58,998,436 from long-term capital gains.

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized depreciation as of August 31, 2008 were as follows:

Tax Basis	Appreciation	Depreciation	Net Unrealized Depreciation	Other Cost Basis Adjustments	Total Net Unrealized Depreciation
$1,317,366,762	$152,944,753	$(162,275,372)	$(9,330,619)	$(27)	$(9,330,646)

The difference between book basis and tax basis is primarily attributable to the difference in the treatment of losses on wash sales and investments in partnerships. Other cost basis adjustments are attributable to mark-to-market of unrealized appreciation of foreign currencies.

The Fund elected to treat post-October currency losses of approximately $161,000 as having been incurred in the following fiscal year (August 31, 2009).

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of August 31, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Class A and Class L shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively. All investors who purchase Class A or Class L 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.

Note 8. Borrowing

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 24, 2008, 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 .13 of 1% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 23, 2009. For the period from October 26, 2007 through October 23, 2008, the Funds paid a commitment fee of .06 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 utilized the line of credit during the year ended August 31, 2008. The average daily balance for the 13 days the Fund had an outstanding balance was $1,322,692 at a weighted average interest rate of 4.41%. At August 31, 2008, the Fund did not have an outstanding loan amount.

During the year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund paid interest to the custodian for temporary overdrawn balances. The average outstanding balance was $740,813 at a weighted average interest rate of 4.62%.

Note 9. New Accounting Pronouncements

On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157 and its impact, if any, on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for any reporting period beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

As noted in the Portfolio of Investments, the Fund held securities issued by Federal Housing Finance Agency and American International Group (AIG). Subsequent to the year end, the Federal Housing Finance Agency has placed Fannie Mae and Freddie

Mac into conservatorship. With respect to securities issued by AIG or for which AIG is counterparty, the Federal Reserve Board, with the full support of the Treasury Department, authorized the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to lend up to $122.8 billion to AIG. The secured loan has terms and conditions designed to protect the interests of the U.S. government and taxpayers. The values of the positions held by the Fund have been adversely impacted since the date of these financial statements; however, the impact on the net assets of the Fund is not material.

As a result of the bankruptcy filing by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., which was the parent company to the Fund’s Securities Lending Counter Party, Lehman Brothers Inc. (Lehman), the Fund’s Securities Lending Agent utilized collateral held on behalf of the Fund for securities out on loan to compensate the Fund for the failure of Lehman to return the securities.

Jennison Value Fund 53

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Jennison Value Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Jennison Value Fund (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of August 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended the statement of changes in net assets for the year ended August 31, 2008, for the period ended August 31, 2007 and for the year ended October 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for the year ended August 31, 2008, for the period ended August 31, 2007 and each of the years in the three-year period ended October 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 year ended October 31, 2003 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, whose report dated December 22, 2003, 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 August 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when 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 August 31, 2008, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year ended August 31, 2008, the period ended August 31, 2007 and the year ended October 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for the year ended August 31, 2008, for the period ended August 31, 2007 and each of the years in the three-year period ended October 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Approval of Advisory Agreements

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of JennisonDryden Portfolios oversees the management of the Jennison Value Fund (the “Fund”) and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on June 3-5, 2008 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2009, after concluding that renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

In advance of the meetings, the Board received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group were objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ending December 31, 2007, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors they deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements with respect to the Fund. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on June 3-5, 2008.

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and Jennison, which serves as the Fund’s subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

Jennison Value Fund

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services provided to the Fund by PI and Jennison. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser for the Fund, as well as the provision of fund recordkeeping, compliance, and other services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadviser, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PI, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PI’s senior management on the performance and operations of the subadviser. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Trustees of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by Jennison, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadviser as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and Jennison, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of Jennison’s portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and Jennison’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to both PI and Jennison. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as to both PI and Jennison. The Board noted that Jennison is affiliated with PI.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by Jennison, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and Jennison under the management and subadvisory agreements.

Performance of Jennison Value Fund

The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance. The Board considered that the Fund’s gross performance in relation to its Peer Universe (the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Performance Universe)¹ was in the first quartile for the three- and five-year periods, in the second quartile for the ten-year period, and in the third quartile for the one-year period. The Board further noted that the Fund outperformed against its benchmark index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s competitive performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements.

Fees and Expenses

The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee (which reflects any subsidies, expense caps or waivers) ranked in the Expense Group’s second quartile and that the Fund’s total expenses ranked in the Expense Group’s first quartile. In light of the Fund’s total expense ranking and the fact that the Fund’s expenses were below 0.75% (excluding 12b-1 fees), the Board concurred with PI’s recommendation to remove the existing management fee waiver which provided for a waiver of up to 1 basis point of the management fee to the extent that Fund expenses exceed 0.75% (exclusive of 12b-1 fees and certain other fees), with the removal of the waiver effective as of July 1, 2008. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of the subadviser, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

¹ The Fund was compared to the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Performance Universe, although Lipper classifies the Fund in the Multi-Cap Value Funds Performance Universe. The Fund was compared to the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Performance Universe because PI believes that the funds included in this Universe provide a more appropriate basis for Fund performance comparisons.

Jennison Value Fund

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, and that at its current level of assets the Fund’s effective fee rate reflected some of those rate reductions. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure currently results in benefits to Fund shareholders whether or not PI realizes any economies of scale.

Other Benefits to PI and Jennison

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI and Jennison and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included brokerage commissions received by affiliates of PI, transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), as well as benefits to the reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by Jennison included its ability to use soft dollar credits, brokerage commissions received by affiliates of Jennison, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to the reputation. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and Jennison were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Class A and Class L shares have a maximum initial sales charge of 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively. Gross operating expenses: Class A, 1.03%; Class B, 1.73%; Class C, 1.73%; Class L, 1.23%; Class M, 1.73%; Class R, 1.48%; Class X, 1.02%; Class Z, 0.73%.

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Jennison Value Fund (Class A shares) with a similar investment in the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index by portraying the initial account values at the beginning of the 10-year period for Class A shares (August 31, 1998) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (August 31, 2008) 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, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R, Class X, and Class 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% for Class A shares through August 31, 2008, the returns shown in the graph and for Class A shares in the tables would have been lower.

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. companies. It gives a broad look at how stock prices have performed in the United States. The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index comprising those securities in the Russell 1000 Index with a lesser-than-average growth orientation. Companies in this index generally have low price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios, higher dividend yields, and lower forecasted growth values. The Indexes’ 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. These returns would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses, or taxes. The securities that comprise these indexes may differ substantially from the securities in the Fund. These are not the only indexes that may be used to characterize performance of large-capitalization stock funds. Other indexes may portray different comparative performance. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A and Class L shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively, and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% and 0.50%, respectively, annually. Investors who purchase Class A or Class L shares in an amount of $1 million or more do not pay a front-end sales charge, but are subject to a contingent

deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% for shares sold within 12 months of purchase; in certain circumstances. 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 shares sold within 12 months from the date of purchase, and an annual 12b-1 fee of 1%. Class M and Class X shares purchased are not subject to a front-end sales charge, but are subject to a CDSC of 6% and a 12b-1 fee of 1%. The CDSC for Class M and Class X shares decreases by 1% annually to 2% in the fifth and sixth years after purchase, 1% in the seventh year and 0% in the eighth year after purchase. Class M and Class X shares convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase. Class R shares are not subject to a sales charge, but charge a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.75%. Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge or 12b-1 fees. The returns in the graph and tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period. Without waiver of fees and/or expense subsidization, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.

Dear Shareholder:

We hope you find the annual report for the Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund informative and useful. As a JennisonDryden mutual fund shareholder, you may be thinking about where you can find additional growth opportunities. You could invest in last year’s top-performing asset class and hope that history repeats itself or you could stay in cash while waiting for the “right moment” to invest.

Instead, we believe it is better to take advantage of developing domestic and global investment opportunities through a diversified portfolio of stock and bond mutual funds. A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages. It helps you manage downside risk by not being overly exposed to any particular asset class, plus it gives you a better opportunity to have at least some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include mutual funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and tolerance for risk. Keep in mind that diversification and asset allocation do not assure against loss in declining markets.

JennisonDryden Mutual Funds gives you a wide range of choices that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds offer the experience, resources, and professional discipline of four leading asset managers. They are recognized and respected in the institutional market and by discerning investors for excellence in their respective strategies. JennisonDryden equity funds are advised by Jennison Associates LLC, Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA), or PREI^® (Prudential Real Estate Investors). Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (PIM) advises the JennisonDryden fixed income and money market funds. Jennison Associates, QMA, and PIM are registered investment advisers and Prudential Financial companies. PREI is a registered investment adviser and a unit of PIM.

Thank you for choosing JennisonDryden Mutual Funds.

Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President

Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund 3

Strategy and Performance Overview

How did the Fund perform?

The Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund began offering shares to investors on December 27, 2007. From this date through August 31, 2008, the Fund’s Class A shares declined 12.50%, which was more than the 11.02% decline of the Russell 1000 Index (the Index) but less than the 13.39% decline of the Lipper Extended U.S. Large-Cap Core Funds Average.

How is the Fund managed?

Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA) manages the Fund, which employs a two-pronged active extension strategy. On the one hand, the Fund goes long by buying shares of companies that QMA believes will increase in value. On the other hand, the Fund sells stocks short, i.e., it borrows shares and then sells them in the hope that they can be bought back at a cheaper price. In this way, the Fund can potentially profit from declining share prices. However, if the price of the stock goes up, a short sale can result in a loss, since the Fund would have to buy the stock back at a higher price than it was sold. The Fund uses proceeds from short selling to purchase additional shares that QMA expects to gain in value, resulting in a targeted weight of up to 130% of its assets in long positions and 30% in short positions, with a targeted 100% net exposure to the stock market.

The active extension strategy allows QMA greater flexibility to exploit positive and negative information about stocks that it uncovers through research. QMA believes focusing on valuation measures for stocks with slow earnings growth, and indications of positive or negative “news” for stocks with fast earnings growth is an effective way to identify which shares will outperform or underperform the broader stock market in coming months. This investment process also closely monitors how each holding affects the Fund’s ability to perform better than the Index.

What were conditions like in the U.S. stock market?

Conditions in the U.S. stock market were very challenging. Rising delinquencies and foreclosures on subprime mortgages in the United States caused a burgeoning credit crisis in which commercial banks and securities firms have already taken massive write-downs on debt securities linked to the risky home loans. As the credit crisis continued, the inventory of houses for sale climbed, home prices tumbled, the U.S. economy shed thousands of jobs, consumer confidence sank, and corporate earnings declined. Commercial banks grew increasingly reluctant to lend to businesses and individuals. Economic growth was further threatened by the rising cost of commodities such as crude oil, which briefly soared to more than $140 per barrel on the back of strong demand from China and other economically developing nations.

During the reporting period, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) repeatedly cut short-term interest rates in the hope that sharply lower borrowing costs might stimulate economic growth in the United States and thus help steady financial markets. Consequently, its target for the federal funds rate charged on overnight loans between banks declined to 2.00% in April 2008 from 4.25% in December 2007. It also took unusual steps to aid the embattled financial sector. Most notably, it facilitated the hurried purchase of Bear Stearns Cos. by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. as the former careened toward bankruptcy.

Among stocks of large companies tracked by the Index, growth shares beat value shares, though both ended the reporting period in the red along with the broader U.S. stock market. All 10 sectors in the Index declined. Not surprisingly, financials posted the largest loss, tumbling more than 20.0%. Others that suffered double-digit drops included telecommunications and information technology.

The remaining seven sectors posted single-digit losses. Industrials and utilities both declined more than 9.0%. Consumer discretionary was next in line, pressured by fear that the U.S. economy, driven largely by consumer spending, might already be in a recession. It was followed by healthcare and energy, which ended in negative territory as the price of crude oil in July and August slid back towards the crucial threshold of $100 per barrel. Materials and consumer staples posted the smallest declines for the reporting period. The latter’s defensive attributes may have helped limit its loss as demand for products of companies in the consumer staples sector tends to hold up relatively well in tough economic times.

Which stock market sectors and holdings detracted most from the Fund’s return?

The Fund held stocks in all four categories of earnings growth—slow, moderately slow, fast, and moderately fast. Of the four, poor security selection among stocks with slow or moderately fast earnings growth detracted from the Fund’s return because these shares did not perform as predicted by QMA’s quantitative model. For example, the “news” indicator in the quantitative model, which is driven by revisions of earnings estimates, did not accurately predict returns for moderately fast growing stocks. As it turned out, stocks with “poor” news managed to outperform companies with “good” news.

The Fund also held shares of small companies, middle-sized companies, and large companies. Of these, it was poor stock selection among small- and mid-cap stocks that detracted from the Fund’s return. From the perspective of market sectors, exposure to industrials and the deeply troubled financials sector detracted most from the Fund’s return for the reporting period.

Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund 5

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)

Which stock market sectors and holdings contributed most to the Fund’s return?

The Fund benefited most from favorable security selection among shares with the fastest earnings growth such as Millenium Pharmaceuticals (up 65% for the reporting period) and among large-cap stocks such as Cypress Semiconductor. The Fund had an underweight exposure to Cypress, which declined 61% for the reporting period.

From the perspective of sector allocation, the Fund benefited most from good stock selection within the information technology and energy sectors. Most notably, the Fund held shares of Google Inc., Micron Technology, and Apple Inc., which performed relatively well in the former sector, and shares of Exterran Holdings and Sandridge Energy, which performed relatively well in the latter sector.

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 March 1, 2008, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended August 31, 2008. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on

the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before

Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund 7

Fees and Expenses (continued)

expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund		Beginning Account Value March 1, 2008		Ending Account Value August 31, 2008		Annualized Expense Ratio Based on the Six-Month Period		Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period*
Class A	Actual	$	1,000.00	$	966.90	1.92	%	$	9.49

	Hypothetical	$	1,000.00	$	1,016.74	1.67	%	$	8.47

* 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 August 31, 2008, and divided by the 366 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund 33

Notes to Financial Statements

JennisonDryden Portfolios, Inc. (the “Portfolios”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end, management investment company and currently consists of two funds: Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund (the “Fund”) and Jennison Value Fund. These financial statements relate to the Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund. The financial statements of the other fund are not represented herein. The Fund commenced investment operations on December 27, 2007. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective through the use of a long/short investment strategy.

Note 1. Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios and the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities that are actively traded via NASDAQ are valued at the official closing price provided by NASDAQ. 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. Futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation of securities some of the factors influencing the valuation include, the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the

34 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

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 valuation.

Short-term debt securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method includes 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 60 days are valued at current market quotations.

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 transactions.

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 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.

Financial futures contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements

continued

Short Sales: The Fund engages in short sales (selling securities it does not own) as part of its normal investment activities. These short sales are collateralized at all times by cash deposits with the prime broker and securities held in a segregated account at the custodian. The short stock rebate included in the Statement of Operations represents the net income earned on short sale proceeds held on deposit with the prime broker and margin interest earned or incurred on short sale transactions. Margin interest is the income earned (or expense incurred) as a result of the market value of securities sold short being less than (or greater than) the proceeds received from the short sales. Dividends declared on short positions are recorded on the ex-dividend date as an expense on the Statement of Operations and included in the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights. Liability for securities sold short is reported at market value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund records a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates. Short selling involves the off-balance sheet risk of potentially unlimited increase in the market value of the security sold short, which could result in potentially unlimited loss for the Fund. The Fund is subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligation under contractual terms. A gain, limited to the price at which the company sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. 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 an accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts on purchases of debt securities as adjustments to interest income.

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 and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal

36 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.

Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, it is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Agreements

The Portfolios have a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the sub-advisor’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Quantitative Management Associates (“QMA”). The subadvisory agreement provides that QMA furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, QMA is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of QMA, the 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 computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

PI has contractually agreed until December 31, 2009 to waive a portion of their management fee and/or reimburse the Fund in order to limit operating expenses (excluding distribution and service (12b-1) fees, dividend expenses related to short sales, taxes, interest, brokerage commissions and certain extraordinary expenses) to each class of shares to not exceed 1.25% of the Fund’s daily average net assets.

The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A and Class Z shares

Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund 37

Notes to Financial Statements

continued

of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A shares pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A Plan”), 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 Plan, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares, respectively. PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares.

PI, QMA and PIMS are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“The Prudential”).

The Portfolios, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), are parties 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. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .06 of 1% of the unused portion of the SCA. The expiration date of the SCA will be October 24, 2008. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the period ended August 31, 2008.

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 on the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

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 4. Portfolio Securities

Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, for the period ended August 31, 2008 were $67,216,470 and $18,787,770, respectively. Short sales and purchases to cover were $19,632,613 and $9,080,500, respectively.

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-dividend date. In order to present undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized loss on investment, short sale and futures 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 undistributed net investment income and paid-in capital in excess of par. For the period ended August 31, 2008, the adjustments were to increase undistributed net investment income and decrease paid-in-capital in excess of par by $1,026 due to the reclassification of non-deductible expenses. Net investment income, net realized loss and net assets were not affected by this change.

As of August 31, 2008, the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis was $195,582 from ordinary income.

As of August 31, 2008, the Fund elected to treat post-October capital gain losses of approximately $1,413,000 as having been incurred in the following fiscal year.

The United States federal income tax basis of the Funds’ investments and the net unrealized depreciation as of August 31, 2008 were as follows:

Tax Basis of Investments	Appreciation	Depreciation	Net Unrealized Depreciation	Other Cost Basis Adjustments	Total Net Unrealized Depreciation
$47,726,789	$2,111,759	$(4,076,226)	$(1,964,467)	$197,745	$(1,766,722)

The difference between book basis and tax basis is primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales. The other cost basis adjustments are primarily attributable to appreciation on short sales.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of August 31, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ 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.

Note 6. Capital

The Fund consists of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares. For the period ended August 31, 2008, only Class A and Class Z were available for investment. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.5%. 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 Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

At August 31, 2008, 49.6% of the shares outstanding were owned by the Manager and its affiliates.

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $.01 par value divided into four classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z.

Transactions in shares of common stock were as follows:

Class A	Shares		Amount
Period ended August 31, 2008:*
Shares sold	7,680		$	68,928
Shares issued in reinvestment of dividends	—			—
Shares reacquired	(623	)		(5,480	)

* Commenced operations on December 27, 2007.

Note 7. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Note 8. Subsequent Events

As noted in the Portfolio of Investments, the Series held securities issued by American International Group (AIG). With respect to securities issued by AIG or for which AIG is counterparty, the Federal Reserve Board with the full support of the Treasury Department, authorized the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to lend up to $122.8 billion to AIG. The secured loan has terms and conditions designed to protect the interests of the U.S. government and taxpayers. The values of the positions held by the Series have been adversely impacted since the date of these financial statements; however, the impact on the net assets of the Series is not material.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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.

Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2008, 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 audit provides 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 August 31, 2008, and the results of its operations, cash flows, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period December 27, 2007 through August 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund

Approval of Advisory Agreements

At meetings of the Board held on November 8-9, 2007, the Board approved the creation of a new fund, to be known as the Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund (the “New Fund”), and at the same meetings approved an amended management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (the “Manager”) and a new subadvisory agreement with Quantitative Management Associates LLC (“QMA” or the “new subadviser”). The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determinations to approve the new agreements are discussed separately below.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

With respect to the Manager, the Board noted that in connection with the approval of the management agreement, it had received and considered information about the Manager at the November 8-9, 2007 meetings, and concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by the Manager under the management agreement. The Board determined that it was reasonable to conclude that the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by the Manager under the amended management agreement covering the New Fund would be similar in nature to those provided to other Prudential mutual funds under the existing management agreement.

With respect to QMA, the Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services that would be provided to the New Fund under the new subadvisory agreement.

With respect to the quality of services, the Board considered, among other things, the background and experience of the portfolio manager for the new subadviser. The Board was also provided with information pertaining to the organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to the new subadviser. The Board noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to the new subadviser. The Board considered the new subadviser’s experience and reputation in managing other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

The Board concluded that with it was reasonable to expect that it would be satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of investment management and investment subadvisory services to be provided by the Manager and the new subadviser, respectively.

Performance

Because the New Fund had not commenced operations, no performance of the New Fund itself existed for Board review. The Board, however, received and considered

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

information regarding the performance of the new subadviser in managing strategies and funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the performance records of the Manager and the new subadviser.

Fee Rates

The Board considered the proposed management fees to be paid by the New Fund to the Manager and the proposed subadvisory fees to be paid by the Manager to the new subadviser, as set forth below. The Board also received and considered comparative fee information of a group of comparable funds that was provided by management, and considered the Manager’s assertion that, because of the peculiar investment strategy of the New Fund, the Manager’s independent data service had not been able to provide a comparable group of funds. The Board considered that the New Fund’s estimated annual operating expenses and contractual management fees were lower than those of the peer group.

Fund	Management Fees	Subadvisory Fees
Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund	1.00%	0.50% of average daily net assets

The Board concluded that the fees were reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

Profitability

Because the New Fund had not commenced operations, the Board noted that there was no historical profitability to be reviewed. The Board noted that it would review profitability at its next annual approval of the agreements.

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the advisory fee schedule for the New Fund did not contain breakpoints that would reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Board concluded that it would be reasonable to approve the agreement and to re-consider economies of scale at its next annual review of the agreements. The Board also noted that the profitability of the Manager would be reviewed annually in connection with the review of the advisory agreement.

Other Benefits to the Manager and the Subadviser

The Board considered potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits anticipated to be received by the Manager and the new subadviser. The Board considered that any potential benefits to be derived by the Manager were similar to benefits derived by

the Manager in connection with its services to the other Prudential mutual funds, which are reviewed on an annual basis. The Board considered that any potential benefits to be derived by the new subadviser were consistent with those generally derived by other subadvisers to the other Prudential mutual funds, and that those benefits are reviewed on an annual basis.

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. Class A shares have a maximum initial sales charge of 5.50%. Gross operating expenses: Class A, 2.93%; Class Z, 2.63%. Net operating expenses apply to: Class A, 1.89%; Class Z, 1.64%, after contractual reduction through 12/31/2009.

¹Inception date: 12/27/07.

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Dryden US Equity Active Extension Fund (Class A shares) with a similar investment in the Russell 1000 Index by portraying the initial account values at the commencement of operations for Class A shares (December 27, 2007) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (August 31, 2008) 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 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 0.25% for Class A shares through August 31, 2008, the returns shown in the graph and for Class A shares in the tables would have been lower.

The Russell 1000 Index includes the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 1000 Index represents the universe of stocks from which most active money managers typically select. The Russell 1000 Index return reflects adjustments for income dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested as of the exdividend dates. The returns for the Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses, or taxes. The securities that comprise the Index may differ substantially from the securities in the Fund. This is not the only index that may be used to characterize performance of junk 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 5.50% and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.25% 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 not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee or sales charge. The returns in the graph and tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period. 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 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

• Attestation 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

• Actuarial services

• 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.
