Dear Shareholder,
December 16, 2003
As you may know, the mutual fund industry recently has been the subject of much media attention. There has been press coverage of Prudential, and recently, administrative complaints were filed against Prudential Securities* and some of its former brokers and branch managers in Massachusetts. As president of your Fund, I’d like to provide you with an update on the issues as they pertain to JennisonDryden mutual funds.
State and federal authorities have requested information regarding trading practices from many mutual fund companies across the nation. Our fund family has been cooperating with inquiries it has received, and at the same time, Prudential Financial, Inc. has been conducting its own internal review. This review encompasses the policies, systems, and procedures of our fund family, Prudential Financial’s investment units and its proprietary distribution channels, including the former Prudential Securities. The review also includes mutual fund trading activity by investment professionals who manage our funds.
Market timing
Prudential Investments LLC, the Fund’s investment manager, has actively discouraged disruptive market timing, and for years, our mutual fund prospectuses have identified and addressed this issue. Prudential Investments has established operating policies and procedures that are designed to detect and deter frequent trading activities that would be disruptive to the management of our mutual fund portfolios, and has rejected numerous orders placed by market timers in the past.
* Prudential Investments LLC, the manager of JennisonDryden mutual funds, and Prudential Investment Management Services LLC, the distributor of the funds, are part of the Investment Management segment of Prudential Financial, Inc. and are separate legal entities from the entity formerly known as Prudential Securities Incorporated, a retail brokerage firm. In February 2003, Prudential Financial and Wachovia Corporation announced they were combining their retail brokerage forces. The transaction was completed in July 2003. Wachovia Corporation has a 62% interest in the new firm, which is now known as Wachovia Securities LLC, and Prudential Financial owns the remaining 38%.
Late trading
The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that orders to purchase or redeem mutual fund shares be received either by the fund or by an intermediary (such as a broker, financial adviser, or 401(k) record keeper) before the time at which the fund calculates its net asset value (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) if they are to receive that day’s price. The policies of our mutual funds do not make and have not made allowances for the practice known as “late trading”.
For more than 40 years we have offered investors quality investment products, financial guidance, and responsive customer service. Today we remain committed to this heritage and to the highest ethical principles in our investment practices.
Sincerely,
Judy A. Rice, President

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Principal value and investment return will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. 1Source: Prudential Investments LLC, Lehman Brothers, and Lipper Inc. The cumulative total returns do not take into account applicable sales charges. The average annual total returns do take into account applicable sales charges. Without the distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% and 0.25% for Class A and C shares respectively, the returns for these classes would have been lower. The Series charges a maximum front-end sales charge of 3% for Class A shares, and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually. In some circumstances, Class A shares may not be subject to a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the first year. Class B shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, and 1% for the first six years respectively 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 are subject to a front-end sales charge of 1%, a CDSC of 1% for shares redeemed within 18 months of purchase, and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.50% annually. Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge or 12b-1 fee. Without waiver of fees and/or expense subsidization, the Series’ returns would have been lower, as indicated in parentheses. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or following the redemption of fund shares. 2Inception dates: Class A, 1/22/90; Class B, 9/17/87; Class C, 8/1/94; and Class Z, 9/16/96. 3The Lehman Brothers (LB) Municipal (Muni) Bond Index is an unmanaged index of over 39,000 long-term investment-grade municipal bonds.

It gives a broad look at how non-investment-grade municipal bonds have performed. The bonds in this index must have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $20 million.

Non-Investment-Grade Muni Bond Index is October 1995. 6The Lipper High Yield Muni Debt Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on an average return of all funds in the Lipper High Yield Muni Debt Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest at least 50% of their assets in lower-rated municipal debt issues. 7Some investors may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and/or state and local taxes. Taxable equivalent yields reflect federal taxes only. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the Lehman Brothers Indexes and the Lipper Average would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes. ***LB Muni Bond Index Since Inception cumulative total returns as of 10/31/03 are 160.24% for Class A, 230.25% for Class B, 81.08% for Class C, and 55.34% for Class Z.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Dryden Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”), formerly known as “Prudential Municipal Bond Fund”, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund was organized as an unincorporated business trust in Massachusetts on November 3, 1986 and consists of two series: the “High Income Series” and the “Insured Series”. Investment operations for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of each Series commenced on January 22, 1990, September 17, 1987, August 1, 1994 and September 16, 1996, respectively.
The investment objectives of the Series are as follows: (i) the objective of the High Income Series is to provide the maximum amount of income that is eligible for exclusion from federal income taxes, (ii) the objective of the Insured Series is to provide the maximum amount of income that is eligible for exclusion from federal income taxes consistent with the preservation of capital. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific state, region or industry.
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: The Fund values municipal securities (including commitments to purchase such securities on a “when-issued” basis) on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities in determining values. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available or for which the pricing service does not provide a valuation methology, or does not present fair value, are valued at fair value as determined under procedures established by the Trustees.
Securities, including options, future contracts and options thereon, for which the primary market is on a national securities exchange, commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price on such exchange or board of trade, on the date of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the average of readily available closing bid and asked prices on such day or at the bid price in the absence of an asked price.
40 | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
Securities, including options, that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed to be over-the-counter, are valued at the average of the most recently quoted bid and asked prices provided by a principal maker or dealer.
Short-term securities which mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term securities which mature in more than sixty 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 contracts.
The Fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates. 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.
Options: The Fund may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates with respect to securities which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Fund’s principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a

Cont’d
liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option.
If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on written options.
The Fund, as writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. The Fund, as purchaser of an option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Interest Rate Swaps: The Fund may enter into swap agreements. An interest rate swap agreement is an agreement between two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals. Based on a notional amount, each party pays an interest rate. Interest on the securities in the swap are included in the value of the exchange. The swaps are valued daily at current market value and any unrealized gain or loss is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Gain or loss is realized on the termination date of the swap and is equal to the difference between the Fund’s basis in the swap and the proceeds of the closing transaction, including fees. During the period that the swap agreement is open, the Fund may be subject to risk from the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement. The use of derivative transactions, such as written options, financial future contracts and interest rate swaps, may involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Inverse Floaters: The Series invests in variable rate securities commonly called “inverse floaters”. The interest rates on these securities have an inverse relationship to market interest rate of other securities or the value of an index. Changes in interest rates on the other security or index inversely affect the rate paid on the inverse floater, and the inverse floater’s price will be more volatile than that of a fixed-rate bond.
42 | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
Additionally, some of these securities contain a “leverage factor” whereby the interest rate moves inversely by a “factor” to the benchmark rate. Certain interest rate movements and other market factors can substantially affect the liquidity of inverse floating rate notes.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by management.
Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to the respective class) and realized and unrealized 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 declares daily dividends from the net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Dividends and distributions, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified to paid in capital when they arise.
Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Note 2. Agreements
The Fund has a management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”). Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management (“PIM”). The Subadvisory Agreement provides that PIM furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. PI pays for the services of PIM, the cost of compensation of officers for the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping cost of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements
Cont’d
The management fee paid PI is computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .50 of 1% of the average daily net assets of each Series up to $1 billion and .45 of 1% of the average daily net assets of each Series in excess of $1 billion.
The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B and C Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by it. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees earned by PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Fund.
Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, .50 of 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 2003, such expenses for the Fund were .25 of 1%, .50 of 1% and .75 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively.
PIMS has advised the High Income Series and Insured Series that it received approximately $84,200 ($72,300-Class A; $11,900-Class C) and $60,100 ($52,100-Class A; $8,000-Class C), respectively, in front-end sales charges during the six months ended October 31, 2003. 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 High Income Series and Insured Series that for the six months ended October 31, 2003, it received approximately $161,700 ($158,400-Class B; $3,300-Class C) and $73,100 ($70,000-Class B; $3,100-Class C), respectively, in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class B and C shareholders.
PI, PIMS and PIM are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a syndicated credit agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The SCA
44 | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
provides for a commitment of $800 million and allows the Funds to increase the commitment to $1 billion, if necessary. Interest on any borrowings will be at market rates. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .08 of 1% of the unused portion of the SCA. The commitment fee is accrued and paid quarterly and is allocated to the Funds based on net assets. The expiration date of the SCA was May 2, 2003. On May 2, 2003, the SCA was renewed under the same terms and conditions (“May 2003 renewal”). The expiration date of the May 2003 renewal is April 30, 2004. The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the six months ended October 31, 2003.
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. During the six months ended October 31, 2003, the Fund incurred fees of approximately $118,100 and $63,100 for the High Income Series and Insured Series, respectively, for the services of PMFS. As of October 31, 2003, approximately $19,300 and $10,400 for the High Income Series and Insured Series, respectively, of such fees were due to PMFS. Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations also include certain out of pocket expenses paid to nonaffiliates.
The Fund pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. The Fund incurred fees of approximately $27,000 ($21,000-High Income Series; $6,000-Insured Series) in total networking fees, of which the amount relating to the services of Wachovia Securities LLC (“Wachovia”) and Prudential Securities, Inc. (“PSI”), an affiliate of PI, was approximately $24,000 ($18,900-High Income Series; $5,100-Insured Series) for the six months ended October 31, 2003. Prudential and Wachovia Corp. formed a joint venture (“Wachovia Securities, LLC”) whereby Prudential and Wachovia Corp. combined their brokerage business with Prudential holding a minority interest. Prior to July 1, 2003, PSI was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential. As of October 31, 2003, approximately $3,800 ($3,000-High Income Series; $800-Insured Series) of such fees were due to Wachovia. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

Note 5. Tax Information
The High Income Series has a net capital loss carryforward as of April 30, 2003 of approximately $57,268,000, of which $6,383,000 expires in 2004, $3,225,000 expires in 2005, $554,000 expires in 2006, $3,137,000 expires in 2007, $5,906,000 expires in 2008, $20,095,000 expires in 2009, $13,512,000 expires in 2010 and $4,456,000 expires in 2011. Accordingly, no capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforwards. The tax basis differs from the amount on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities primarily due to differences in the treatment of discount and premium amortization for book and tax purposes.
As of April 30, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Series | Tax-Exempt | Ordinary Income | Long-Term Capital Gains | ||||||
High Income | $ | 2,568,991 | $ | 103,883 | — | ||||
Insured | 655,948 | 54,408 | $ | 5,631,914 |
These amounts include a dividends payable timing difference of $1,138,826 and $397,112 as of April 30, 2003 to the High Income Series and Insured Series, respectively.
The United States federal income tax basis of the Series’ investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of October 31, 2003 were as follows:
Series | Tax Basis | Appreciation | Depreciation | Total Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | |||||||||
High Income | $ | 757,034,367 | $ | 35,132,898 | $ | 50,807,385 | $ | (15,674,487 | ) | ||||
Insured | 315,839,266 | 20,446,850 | 351,229 | 20,095,621 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis was attributable to the difference in the treatment of discount amortization for book and tax purposes.
