MONEY MARKET FUNDS

Money market funds--which hold
high-quality short-term debt
obligations--provide investors with a
lower risk, highly liquid investment
option. These funds attempt to
maintain a net asset value of $1 per
share, although there can be no
guarantee that they will always be
able to do so.
- -------------------------------------


This section highlights key information about PRUDENTIAL TAX-FREE MONEY FUND,
INC., which we refer to as "the Fund." Additional information follows this
summary.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES

Our investment objective is to seek the HIGHEST LEVEL OF CURRENT INCOME THAT IS
EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES, CONSISTENT WITH LIQUIDITY AND THE PRESERVATION
OF CAPITAL. To achieve this objective we invest primarily in short-term debt
obligations of state and local governments, municipal commercial paper, variable
rate demand obligations and municipal asset-backed securities, which we refer to
collectively as "MUNICIPAL BONDS." The Fund invests in Municipal Bonds which are
high-quality money market instruments with remaining maturities of 13 months or
less. The Fund may invest in longer-term securities that are accompanied by
demand features, which will shorten the effective maturity of the securities to
thirteen months or less.

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets are invested
in money market instruments that pay income exempt from federal income taxes and
which are not preference items for purposes of the federal alternative minimum
tax. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in Municipal Bonds that may
be a preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax.

While we make every effort to achieve our investment objective and maintain a
net asset value of $1 per share, we can't guarantee success. To date, the Fund's
net asset value has never deviated from $1 per share.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Although we try to invest wisely, all investments involve risk. Since the Fund
invests in debt obligations, there is the risk that the value of a particular
obligation could go down. Debt obligations are generally subject to CREDIT
RISK--the risk that the issuer of a particular security may be unable to make
principal and interest payments when they are due, and MARKET RISK--the risk
that the securities could lose value because interest rates change or investors
lose confidence in the ability of issuers in general to pay back their debt. The

                                                                               1
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risk/Return Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Fund's investment in municipal asset-backed securities are also subject to
PREPAYMENT RISK--the risk that the underlying obligations may be prepaid,
partially or completely, generally during times of falling interest rates, which
could adversely affect yield and could require the Fund to reinvest in lower
yielding obligations.

     There is also a risk that we will sell a security for a price that is
higher or lower than the value attributed to the security through the amortized
cost valuation procedures we follow. Such an event could affect our ability to
maintain a net asset value of $1 per share.

     An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of an investment at $1 per
share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

EVALUATING PERFORMANCE

A number of factors--including risk--can affect how the Fund performs. The
following bar chart shows the Fund's performance for each full calendar year of
operation for the last 10 years. The tables below compare the Fund's average
annual returns and yield for the periods indicated with those of a group of
similar Funds. The bar chart and tables demonstrate the risk of investing in the
Fund by showing how returns can change from year to year. Past performance is
not an indication that the Fund will achieve similar results in the future. For
current yield information, you can call us at (800) 225-1852.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

     The Fund's investment objective is to seek the HIGHEST LEVEL OF CURRENT
INCOME THAT IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES, CONSISTENT WITH LIQUIDITY AND
THE PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL. While we make every effort to achieve our
objective, we can't guarantee success.

     The Fund invests in high-quality money market instruments to try to provide
investors with current tax-free income while maintaining a stable net asset
value of $1 per share. We manage the Fund to comply with specific rules designed
for money market mutual funds. We will purchase short-term debt obligations
issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States and by the
District of Columbia, which we refer to as "Municipal Bonds." The Fund may
invest up to 20% of its net assets in Municipal Bonds that pay interest that is
a preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax.

     The Municipal Bonds that we purchase must be rated in one of the two
highest rating categories by at least two nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations (NRSROs), such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (rated at
least Aa, MIG-2 or Prime-2) or Standard & Poor's Rating Group (rated at least
AA, SP-2 or A-2) or, if unrated, of comparable quality. The Municipal Bonds that
we purchase may be "GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS" or "REVENUE BONDS." General
obligation bonds are Municipal Bonds backed by the full faith and credit of the
issuer, including its taxing authority and ability to borrow additional funds.
In contrast, revenue bonds are Municipal Bonds backed by the revenues from a
specific municipal project such as bridges, hospitals and public works or
proceeds from a special excise tax. The Fund can also purchase or hold Municipal
Bonds that are "PRE-REFUNDED" bonds. These obligations are fully secured by the
U.S. Government securities held in escrow for the benefit of holders of the
Municipal Bonds. Municipal bonds are usually pre-refunded when the issuer can
borrow money more cheaply from another source and, therefore, pay off its
original, more costly obligation. Under the rules that govern tax-free money
market funds, like the Fund, we treat pre-refunded bonds as U.S. Government
securities. This means that we can invest more of the Fund's assets in Municipal
Bonds that are pre-refunded than we could if the security were a general
obligation bond or a revenue bond. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its
total assets in pre-refunded bonds of a single issuer.

                                                                               5
<PAGE>


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How the Fund Invests
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Fund may invest in Municipal Bonds that are "VARIABLE RATE" or
"FLOATING RATE" obligations. These securities pay interest at rates that change
periodically to reflect changes in market interest rates. Because these
securities adjust the interest they pay, they may be beneficial when interest
rates are rising because of the additional return the Fund will receive, and
they may be detrimental when interest rates are falling because of the reduction
in interest payments to the Fund.

     DEBT OBLIGATIONS in general, including those listed above and any others
that we may purchase, are basically written promises to repay a debt. Among the
various types of debt securities we may purchase, the terms of repayment may
vary, as may the commitment of other parties to honor the obligations of the
issuer of the security. We may purchase securities that include DEMAND FEATURES,
which allow us to demand repayment of a debt obligation before the obligation is
due or "matures." This means that we can purchase longer-term securities because
we can demand repayment of the obligation at an agreed-upon price within a
relatively short period of time. This procedure follows the rules applicable to
money market funds.

     The Fund's investments also include variable rate demand obligations
(VRDOs) and VRDOs in the form of participation interests (Participating VRDOs)
in variable rate tax-exempt obligations held by financial institutions. The
VRDOs in which the Fund may invest are tax-exempt obligations that contain a
floating or variable interest rate adjustment formula and include an
unconditional right of demand on the part of the holder to receive payment of
the unpaid principal plus accrued interest on a short notice period.
Participating VRDOs provide the Fund with a specified undivided interest (up to
100%) of the underlying obligations and the right to demand payment of the
unpaid principal plus accrued interest on the Participating VRDOS from the
financial institution on a short notice period. There is a possibility, because
of default or insolvency, that the demand features of VRDOs or Participating
VRDOs may not be honored.

     The securities that we may purchase may change over time as new types of
money market instruments are developed. We will purchase these new instruments,
however, only if their characteristics and features follow the rules governing
money market mutual funds.

     Any of the money market instruments that the Fund may purchase may be
accompanied with the right to resell the instrument prior to the instrument's
maturity. These rights are referred to as "PUTS" and are acquired by the Fund to
protect against a possible decline in the market value of the securities to

How the Fund Invests
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


which the puts relate in the event of interest rate fluctuations and to shorten
the effective maturity of the security. One form of liquidity put consists of an
underlying fixed rate municipal bond that is subject to a third party demand
feature or "TENDER OPTION." Tender option bonds are the functional equivalent of
ordinary variable or floating rate obligations.

     From time to time, proposals have been introduced before Congress for the
purpose of restricting or eliminating the federal income tax exemption for
interest on Municipal Bonds and for providing state and local governments with
federal credit assistance.

     For more information, see "Investment Risks" and the Statement of
Additional Information, "Description of the Fund, Its Investments and Risks."
The Statement of Additional Information -- which we refer to as the SAI --
contains additional information about the Fund. To obtain a copy, see the back
cover page of this prospectus.

     Our investment objective is a fundamental policy that cannot be changed
without shareholder approval. The Board of Directors of the Fund can change
investment policies that are not fundamental.

OTHER INVESTMENTS AND STRATEGIES


In addition to the principal strategies discussed above, we may also use the
following strategies to increase the Fund's returns or protect its assets if
market conditions warrant.

     The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in shares of OTHER
INVESTMENT COMPANIES. Such investment can result in the duplication of
management and advisory fees.


     The Fund may also use REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS, where a party agrees to sell a
security to the Fund and then repurchase it at an agreed-upon price at a stated
time. These transactions constitute short-term cash loans by the Fund. This
creates a fixed return for the Fund. The Fund will not invest more than 5% of
its total assets in repurchase agreements.


     The Fund may use REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS, where we borrow money on a
temporary basis by selling a security with an obligation to repurchase it at an
agreed-upon price and time. The Fund's use of reverse repurchase agreements is
limited to 5% of the value of its total assets.

     The Fund may also purchase money market obligations on a "WHEN-ISSUED" or
"DELAYED-DELIVERY" basis. When the Fund makes this type of purchase, the price
and interest rate are fixed at the time of purchase, but delivery

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


and payment for the obligations take place at a later time. The Fund does not
earn interest income until the date the obligations are delivered.

     The Fund intends to purchase investment securities jointly with certain
other mutual funds. Our ability to engage in joint investment is subject to
conditions imposed by an order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Joint
investment can allow the Fund to achieve better investment performance because
of reduced transaction costs and greater investment leverage.

     The Fund also follows certain policies when it: BORROWS MONEY (the Fund may
borrow up to 5% of the value of its total assets) and HOLDS ILLIQUID SECURITIES
(the Fund may hold up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including
securities with legal or contractual restrictions, those without a readily
available market, and repurchase agreements with maturities longer than seven
days). The Fund is subject to certain investment restrictions that are
fundamental policies, which means they cannot be changed without shareholder
approval. For more information about these restrictions, see the SAI.

INVESTMENT RISKS


As noted, all investments involve risks, and investing in the Fund is no
exception. To limit these risks, we invest only in high-quality securities with
remaining maturities of no more than 13 months.

strategies and certain other investments of the Fund. See, too, "Description of

DISTRIBUTOR

Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (PIMS) distributes the Fund's
shares under a Distribution Agreement with the Fund. The Fund has a Distribution
and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act. Under
the Plan and the Distribution Agreement, PIMS pays the expenses of distributing
the Fund's shares and provides certain shareholder support services. The Fund
pays distribution and other fees from the assets of the Fund to PIMS as
compensation for its services. These fees--known as 12b-1 fees--are shown in the
"Fees and Expenses" tables. Because these fees are paid from the Fund's assets
on a continuous basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

Fund Distributions and Tax Issues
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Investors who buy shares of the Fund should be aware of some important tax
issues. For example, the Fund distributes DIVIDENDS of ordinary income and any
realized net CAPITAL GAINS to shareholders.

     The following briefly discusses some of the important tax issues you should
be aware of, but is not meant to be tax advice. For tax advice, please speak
with your tax adviser.

DISTRIBUTIONS


The Fund distributes DIVIDENDS of any net investment income to shareholders
every month. The Fund intends to invest so that dividend distributions to you
will be exempt from federal taxation. The dividends you receive from the Fund
will generally be EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (though not necessarily
exempt from state and local taxation) as long as 50% or more of the value of the
Fund's assets at the end of each quarter is invested in state, municipal and
other bonds that are excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes
and as long as the Fund mails a notice to you that properly designates the
dividend as an exempt interest dividend.


     However, if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax, you will have
to pay tax on the portion of dividend distributions from the Fund attributable
to the Fund's investments in certain "private activity" bonds. The Fund will not
invest more than 20% of its net assets in these bonds.

     Although the Fund is not likely to realize capital gains because of the
types of securities we purchase, any realized net CAPITAL GAINS will be paid to
shareholders (typically once a year). Capital gains are generated when the Fund
sells assets for a profit.

     For your convenience, Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains are
automatically reinvested in the Fund. If you ask us to pay the distributions in
cash, we will send you a check if your account is with the Transfer Agent. For
more information about automatic reinvestment and other shareholder services,
see "How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Shares of the Fund - How To Buy Shares" at
Step 3: Additional Shareholder Services.

Fund Distributions and Tax Issues
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


TAX ISSUES
FORM 1099

Every year, you will receive a Form 1099, which reports the amount of dividends
and capital gains we distributed to you during the prior year. If you own shares
of the Fund as part of a qualified or tax-deferred plan or account, your taxes
are deferred, so you will not receive a Form 1099. However, you will receive a
Form 1099 when you take any distributions from your qualified or tax-deferred
plan or account.

     Fund distributions are generally taxable in the year they are received,
except where we declare certain dividends in December of a calendar year but
actually pay them in January of the following year. In such cases, the dividends
are treated as if they were paid on December 31 of the prior year. As noted
above, however, the Fund intends to pay dividends that are exempt from federal
income taxes.

WITHHOLDING TAXES

If federal tax law requires you to provide the Fund with your tax identification
number and certifications as to your tax status, and you fail to do this, or if
you are otherwise subject to back-up withholding, we will withhold and pay to
the U.S. Treasury 31% of your distributions and sales proceeds. Dividends of net
investment income and short-term capital gains paid to a NONRESIDENT FOREIGN
SHAREHOLDER generally will be subject to a U.S. withholding tax of 30%. This
rate may be lower, depending on any tax treaty the U.S. may have with the
shareholder's country.

HOW TO BUY SHARES

STEP 1: OPEN AN ACCOUNT

(PMFS) at (800) 225-1852 or contact:

PRUDENTIAL MUTUAL FUND SERVICES LLC
ATTN: INVESTMENT SERVICES
P.O. BOX 15020
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ 08906-5020

PMFS receives your completed application, you will receive an account number.
For additional information about purchasing shares of the Fund, see the back
cover page of this prospectus. We have the right to reject any purchase order
(including an exchange into the Fund) or suspend or modify the Fund's sale of
its shares.

     Except as noted below, the minimum initial investment for Fund shares is
$1,000 and the minimum subsequent investment is $100. All minimum investment
requirements are waived for certain retirement and employee savings plans and
custodial accounts for the benefit of minors.

PURCHASES THROUGH PRUDENTIAL SECURITIES

Purchases of shares of the Fund through Prudential Securities are made through
automatic investment procedures (the Autosweep Program). You cannot purchase
shares through Prudential Securities other than through the Autosweep Program,
except as specifically provided (that is, you cannot make a manual purchase).

     The Autosweep Program allows you to designate a money market fund as your
primary money sweep fund. If you do not designate a primary money sweep fund,
Prudential MoneyMart Assets, Inc. will automatically be your primary money sweep
fund. You have the option to change your primary money sweep fund at any time by
notifying your Prudential Securities Financial Advisor. The following discussion
assumes that you have selected the Fund as your primary money sweep fund.

     For Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Benefit Plans in the
Autosweep Program, all credit balances (that is, immediately available funds) of
$1 or more will be invested in the Fund on a daily basis. Prudential

Securities will arrange for the investment of the credit balance in the Fund and
will purchase shares of the Fund equal to that amount. This will occur on the
business day following the availability of the credit balance. Prudential
Securities may use and retain the benefit of credit balances in your account
until Fund shares are purchased.

     For accounts other than IRAs and Benefit Plans, shares of the Fund will be
purchased as follows:

     o    When your account has a credit balance of $10,000 or more, Prudential
          Securities will arrange for the automatic purchase of shares of the
          Fund. This will occur on the business day following the availability
          of the credit balance

     o    When your account has a credit balance that results from a securities
          sale totaling $1,000 or more, the available cash will be invested in
          the Fund on the settlement date

     o    For all other credit balances of $1 or more, shares will be purchased
          automatically at least once a month on the last business day of each
          month

     Purchases through the Autosweep Program are subject to a minimum initial
investment of $1,000, which is waived for certain retirement and employee
savings plans and custodial accounts for the benefit of minors. You will begin
earning dividends on your shares purchased through the Autosweep Program on the
first business day after the order is placed. Prudential Securities will
purchase shares of the Fund at the price determined at 4:30 p.m., New York time,
on the business day following the existence of the credit balance, which is the
second business day after the availability of the credit balance. Prudential
Securities will use and retain the benefit of credit balances in your account
until Fund shares are purchased.

     Your investment in the Fund will be held in the name of Prudential
Securities. Prudential Securities will receive all statements and dividends from
the Fund and will, in turn, send you account statements showing your purchases,
sales and dividends.

     The charges and expenses of the Autosweep program are not reflected in the
Fees and Expenses tables. For information about participating in the Autosweep
Program, you should contact your Prudential Securities Financial Advisor.

PURCHASES THROUGH THE PRUDENTIAL ADVANTAGE ACCOUNT PROGRAM

The Prudential Advantage Account Program (the Advantage Account Program) is a
financial services program available to clients of Pruco Securities Corporation
(Pruco) and provides for an automatic investment procedure similar to the
Autosweep Program. The Advantage Account Program consists of two types of
accounts: the Investor Account and the Advantage Account, which offer additional
services, such as a debit card and check writing.

     The Advantage Account Program allows you to designate a money market fund
as your primary money sweep fund. If you do not designate a primary money sweep
fund, Prudential MoneyMart Assets, Inc. will automatically be your primary money
sweep fund. You have the option to change your primary money sweep fund at any
time by notifying your Pruco representative or the Advantage Service Center. The
following discussion assumes that you have selected the Fund as your primary
money sweep fund.

     With the Advantage Account as well as the Investor Account for Benefit
Plans and IRAs, all credit balances (that is, immediately available funds) of $1
or more will be invested in the Fund on a daily basis. Prudential Securities
(Pruco's clearing broker) arranges for the investment of the credit balance in
the Fund and will purchase shares of the Fund equal to that amount. This will
occur on the business day following the availability of the credit balance.
Prudential Securities may use and retain the benefit of credit balances in your
account until Fund shares are purchased.

     If you have an Investor Account (non-IRAs), shares of the Fund will be
purchased as follows:

     o    When your account has a credit balance of $10,000 or more, Prudential
          Securities will arrange for the automatic purchase of shares of the
          Fund with all cash balances of $1 or more. This will occur on the
          business day following the availability of the credit balance

     o    When your account has a credit balance that results from a securities
          sale totaling more than $1,000, all cash balances of $1 or more will
          be invested in the Fund on the business day following the settlement
          date

     o    For all other credit balances of $1 or more, shares will be purchased
          automatically at least once a month on the last business day of each
          month

     You will begin earning dividends on your shares purchased through the
Advantage Account Program on the first business day after the order is placed.
Prudential Securities will purchase shares of the Fund at the price determined
at 4:30 p.m., New York time, on the business day following the availability of

the credit balance. Prudential Securities will use and retain the benefit of
credit balances in your account until Fund shares are purchased.

     Purchases of, withdrawals from and dividends from the Fund will be shown on
your Advantage Account or Investor Account statement.

     The charges and expenses of the Advantage Account Program are not reflected
in the Fees and Expenses tables. For information about participating in the
Advantage Account Program, you should call (800) 235-7637.

MANUAL PURCHASES

You may make a manual purchase (that is, a non-money market sweep purchase) of
Fund shares in either of the following situations:

     o    You do not participate in a money market sweep program (the Autosweep
          Program or the Advantage Account Program), or

     o    You participate in a money market sweep program, but the Fund is not
          designated as your primary money market sweep fund.

     The minimum initial investment for a manual purchase of shares of the Fund
is $1,000 and the minimum subsequent investment is $100, except that all minimum
investment requirements are waived for certain retirement and employee savings
plans and custodial accounts for the benefit of minors.

     If you make a manual purchase through Prudential Securities, Prudential
Securities will place your order for shares of the Fund on the business day
after the purchase order is received for settlement that day, which is the
second business day after receipt of the purchase order by Prudential
Securities. Prudential Securities may use and retain the benefit of credit
balances in a client's brokerage account until monies are delivered to the Fund
(Prudential Securities delivers Federal Funds on the business day after
settlement).

     If you make a manual purchase through the Fund's Distributor, through your
broker or dealer (other than Prudential Securities) or directly from the Fund,
shares will be purchased at the net asset value next determined after receipt of
your order and payment in proper form. When your payment is received by 4:30
p.m., New York time, shares will be purchased that day and you will begin to
earn dividends on the following business day. If you purchase shares through a
broker or dealer, your broker or dealer will forward your order and payment to
the Fund. You should contact your broker or dealer for information about
services that they may provide, including an automatic sweep feature.
Transactions in Fund shares may be subject to postage and

other charges imposed by your broker or dealer. Any such charge is retained by
your broker or dealer and is not sent to the Fund.

STEP 2: UNDERSTANDING THE PRICE YOU'LL PAY

When you invest in a mutual fund, you buy shares of the Fund. Shares of a money
market mutual fund, like the Fund, are priced differently than shares of common
stock and other securities.

     The price you pay for each share of the Fund is based on the share value.
The share value of a mutual fund--known as the NET ASSET VALUE or NAV--is
determined by a simple calculation: it's the total value of the Fund (assets
minus liabilities) divided by the total number of shares outstanding. In
determining NAV, the Fund values its securities using the amortized cost method.
The Fund seeks to maintain an NAV of $1 per share at all times. Your broker may
charge you a separate or additional fee for purchases of shares.

     We determine the NAV of our shares once each business day at 4:30 p.m., New
York time, on days that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. We do
not determine NAV on days when we have not received any orders to purchase,
sell, or exchange or when changes in the value of the Fund's portfolio do not
affect the NAV.

STEP 3: ADDITIONAL SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

As a Fund shareholder, you can take advantage of the following services and
privileges:

AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT. As we explained in the "Fund Distributions and Tax
Issues" section, the Fund pays out--or distributes--its net investment income
and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. For your convenience, we will
automatically reinvest your distributions in the Fund at NAV. If you want your
distributions paid in cash, you can indicate this preference on your
application, notify your broker or notify the Transfer Agent in writing (at the
address below) at least five business days before the date we determine who
receives dividends.

REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Every year we will send you an annual report (along
with an updated prospectus) and a semi-annual report, which contain important
financial information about the Fund. To reduce Fund expenses, we may send one
annual shareholder report, one semi-annual shareholder report and one annual
prospectus per household, unless you instruct us or your broker otherwise.

HOW TO SELL YOUR SHARES

You can sell your shares of the Fund at any time, subject to certain
restrictions.

     When you sell shares of the Fund--also known as redeeming shares--the
price you will receive will be the NAV next determined after the Transfer Agent,
the Distributor or your broker receives your order to sell. If your broker holds
your shares, your broker must receive your order to sell by 4:30 p.m., New York
time, to process the sale on that day. Otherwise contact:

PRUDENTIAL MUTUAL FUND SERVICES LLC
ATTENTION: REDEMPTION SERVICES
P.O. BOX 15010
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ 08906-5010

     Generally, we will pay you for the shares that you sell within seven days
after the Transfer Agent, the Distributor or your broker receives your sell
order. If you hold shares through a broker, payment will be credited to your
account. If you are selling shares you recently purchased with a check, we may
delay sending you the proceeds until your check clears, which can take up to 10
days from the purchase date. You can avoid delay if you purchase shares by wire,
certified check or cashier's check. Your broker may charge you a separate or
additional fee for sales of shares.

RESTRICTIONS ON SALES. There are certain times when you may not be able to sell
shares of the Fund or when we may delay paying you the proceeds from a sale.
This may happen during unusual market conditions or emergencies when the Fund
can't determine the value of its assets or sell its holdings. For more
information, see the SAI, "Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares--Restrictions
on Sales."

     If you are selling more than $100,000 of shares, if you want the check
payable to or sent to someone or some place that is not in our records, or you
are a business or trust, and if you hold your shares directly with the Transfer

Agent, you will need to have the signature on your sell order signature
guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution". An "eligible guarantor
institution" includes any bank, broker-dealer or credit union. For more
information, see the SAI, "Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares."

REDEMPTION IN KIND. If the sales of Fund shares you make during any 90-day
period reach the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the value of the Fund's net assets,
we can then give you securities from the Fund's portfolio instead of cash. If
you want to sell the securities for cash, you would have to pay the costs
charged by a broker.

AUTOMATIC REDEMPTION FOR THE AUTOSWEEP PROGRAM. If you participate in the
Autosweep Program, your Fund shares may be automatically redeemed to cover any
deficit in your Prudential Securities account. The amount redeemed will be the
nearest dollar amount necessary to cover the deficit.

     The amount of the redemption will be the lesser of the total value of Fund
shares held in your Prudential Securities account or the deficit in your
Prudential Securities account. If you use this automatic redemption procedure
and want to pay for a securities transaction in your account other than through
this procedure, you must deposit cash in your securities account before the
settlement date. If you use this automatic redemption procedure and want to pay
any other deficit in your securities account other than through this procedure,
you must deposit cash in your securities account before you incur the deficit.

     Redemptions are automatically made by Prudential Securities, to the nearest
dollar, on each day to satisfy deficits from securities transactions or to honor
your redemption requests. Your account will be automatically scanned for
deficits each day and, if there is insufficient cash in your account, we will
redeem an appropriate number of shares of the Fund at the next determined NAV to
satisfy any remaining deficit. You are entitled to any dividends declared on the
redeemed shares through the day before the redemption is made. Dividends
declared on the redemption date will be retained by Prudential Securities, which
has advanced monies to satisfy deficits in your account.

AUTOMATIC REDEMPTION FOR THE ADVANTAGE ACCOUNT. If you participate in the
Advantage Account Program, your Fund shares may be automatically redeemed to
cover any deficit in your securities account. The amount redeemed will be the
nearest dollar amount necessary to cover the deficit.

     The amount of the redemption will be the lesser of the total value of Fund
shares held in your securities account or the deficit in your securities
account. A deficit in your Advantage Account may result from activity arising
under the program, such as debit balances incurred by the use of the Visa(R)
Account, including Visa purchases, cash advances and Visa Account checks. Your
account will be automatically scanned for deficits each day and, if there is
insufficient cash in your account, we will redeem an appropriate number of
shares of the Fund to satisfy any remaining deficit. You are entitled to any
dividends declared on the redeemed shares through the day before the redemption
is made. Dividends declared on the redemption date will be retained by
Prudential Securities, which has advanced monies to satisfy deficits in your
account.

     Redemptions are automatically made by Prudential Securities, to the nearest
dollar, on each day to satisfy deficits from securities transactions or to honor
your redemption requests.

HOW TO EXCHANGE YOUR SHARES

You can exchange your shares of the Fund for shares in certain other Prudential
mutual funds--including certain money market funds--if you satisfy the minimum
investment requirements of such other Prudential mutual fund. You can exchange
shares of the Fund for Class A shares of another Prudential mutual fund, but you
can't exchange Fund shares for Class B, Class C or Class Z shares of another
Prudential mutual fund, except that shares purchased prior to January 22, 1990
that are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge can be exchanged for
Class B shares.

     If you hold shares through a broker, you must exchange shares through your
broker. Otherwise, contact:

imposed by such other Prudential mutual fund. The sales charge is imposed at the
time of your exchange.

FREQUENT TRADING

Frequent trading of Fund shares in response to short-term fluctuations in the
market--also known as "market timing"--may make it very difficult to manage the
Fund's investments. When market timing occurs, the Fund may have to sell
portfolio securities to have the cash necessary to redeem the market timer's
shares. This can happen at a time when it is not advantageous to sell any
securities, so the Fund's performance may be hurt. When large dollar amounts are
involved, market timing can also make it difficult to use long-term investment
strategies because we cannot predict how much cash the Fund will have to invest.
When, in our opinion, such activity would have a disruptive effect on portfolio
management, the Fund reserves the right to refuse purchase orders and exchanges
into the Fund by any person, group or commonly controlled accounts. The decision
may be based upon dollar amount, volume and frequency of trading. The Fund may
notify a market timer of rejection of an exchange purchase order after the day
the order is placed. If the Fund allows a market timer to trade Fund shares, it
may require the market timer to enter into a written agreement to follow certain
procedures and limitations.

TELEPHONE REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES

     You may redeem or exchange your shares in any amount by calling the Fund at
(800) 225-1852 before 4:15 p.m., New York time. You will receive a redemption
amount based on that day's NAV.

     The Fund's Transfer Agent will record your telephone instructions and
request specific account information before redeeming or exchanging shares. The
Fund and its agents will not be liable if it follows instructions that it
reasonably believes are made by the shareholder. If the Fund does not follow
reasonable procedures, it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent telephone instructions.

     In the event of drastic economic or market changes, you may have difficulty
in redeeming or exchanging your shares by telephone. If this occurs, you should
consider redeeming or exchanging your shares by mail.

     The telephone redemption and exchange privileges may be modified or
terminated at any time. If this occurs, you will receive a written notice from
the Fund.

                                     FUND HISTORY

     The Fund was organized as a corporation under the laws of Maryland on March
22, 1979.


               DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND, ITS INVESTMENTS AND RISKS

          (a) CLASSIFICATION. The Fund is a diversified open-end management
     investment company.

          (b) INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.

     The Fund's investment objective is to seek the highest level of current
income that is exempt from federal income taxes, consistent with liquidity and
the preservation of capital. Additional information relating to the Fund's
principal investment policies and strategies discussed in the Fund's Prospectus,
and information about other securities, instruments, policies and strategies
which the Fund may use from time to time in seeking to achieve its investment
objective, are described below. The Fund may not be successful in achieving its
investment objective and you can lose money.

MUNICIPAL BONDS

     The Fund may invest in municipal bonds and municipal notes, which are
collectively referred to as Municipal Bonds in the Fund's Prospectus and this
Statement of Additional Information.

     Municipal bonds are generally issued to obtain funds for various public
purposes, including construction of public facilities such as airports, bridges,
highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, schools, streets and water
and sewer works. They may also be issued to refund outstanding obligations, to
meet general operating expenses or to obtain funds to lend to other public
institutions and facilities. Municipal bonds also include bonds issued by or on
behalf of public authorities in order to obtain funds with which to provide
privately operated housing facilities, sports facilities, pollution control
facilities, convention or trade show facilities, industrial, port or parking
facilities and facilities for water supply, gas, electricity or waste disposal.
These bonds are typically revenue bonds and generally do not carry the pledge of
the issuer's credit.

     Municipal bonds may be general obligation or revenue bonds. General
obligation bonds are secured by the issuer's pledge of its faith, credit and
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are
payable from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of
facilities or from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific
revenue source but not from the general taxing power.

     Municipal notes are short-term obligations generally with a maturity, at
the time of issuance, ranging from six months to three years. The principal
types of municipal notes include tax anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes
and revenue anticipation notes. Municipal notes sold in anticipation of
collection of taxes, a bond sale, or receipt of other revenues, are usually
general obligations of the issuing municipality or agency.

     Municipal notes also include tax-exempt or municipal commercial paper,
which is likely to be issued to meet seasonal working capital needs of a
municipality or interim construction financing and to be paid from general
revenues of the municipality or refinanced with long-term debt. In most cases,
municipal commercial paper is backed by letters of credit, lending agreements,
note repurchase agreements or other credit facility agreements offered by banks
or other institutions.

     The Fund will treat an investment in a municipal security refunded with
escrowed U.S. Government securities as U.S. Government securities for purposes
of the diversification requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the Investment Company Act) provided: (i) the escrowed securities are
"government securities" as defined in the Investment Company Act; (ii) the
escrowed securities are irrevocably pledged only to payment of debt service on
the refunded securities, except to the extent there are amounts in excess of
funds necessary for such debt service; (iii) principal and interest on the
escrowed securities will be sufficient to satisfy all scheduled principal,
interest and any premiums on the refunded securities and a verification report
prepared by a party acceptable to a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, or counsel to the holders of the refunded securities, so verifies;
(iv) the escrow agreement provides that the issuer of the refunded securities
grants and assigns to the escrow agent, for the equal and ratable benefit of the
holders of the refunded securities, an express first lien on, pledge of and
perfected security interest in the escrowed securities and the interest income
thereon and (v) the escrow agent had no lien of any type with respect to the
escrowed securities for payment of its fees or expenses except to the extent
there are excess securities, as described in (ii) above. The Fund will not,
however, invest more than 25% of its total assets in pre-refunded bonds of the
same municipal issuer.

     VARIABLE RATE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES. The interest rates payable on
certain Municipal Bonds are not fixed and may fluctuate based upon changes in
market rates. Municipal Bonds of this type are called "variable rate" or
"floating rate"


                                      B-2
<PAGE>


obligations. The interest rate payable on a variable rate obligation is adjusted
at predesignated intervals and the interest rate payable on a floating rate
obligation is adjusted whenever there is a change in the market rate of interest
on which the interest rate payable is based. Other features of these obligations
typically include the right of the Fund to demand, in some cases, at specified
intervals of less than one year or, in other cases, upon not less than seven
days' notice, prepayment of the principal amount of the obligation prior to its
stated maturity (a demand feature). In addition, the issuer may have the right,
at similar intervals or upon similar notice, to prepay the principal amount
prior to maturity. The principal benefit of variable and floating rate
obligations is that the interest rate adjustment minimizes changes in the market
value of the obligations. As a result, the purchase of such obligations should
enhance the ability of the Fund to maintain a stable net asset value per share
(see Net Asset Value) and to sell an obligation prior to maturity at a price
approximating the full principal amount of the obligation. The payment of
principal and interest by issuers of certain Municipal Bonds purchased by the
Fund may be guaranteed by letters of credit or other credit facilities offered
by banks or other financial institutions. Such guarantees will be considered in
determining whether a Municipal Bond meets the Fund's investment quality
requirements.

     PUTS. The Fund may purchase Municipal Bonds together with the right to
resell the Municipal Bonds to the seller at an agreed-upon price or yield within
a specified period prior to the maturity date of the bonds. Such a right to
resell is commonly known as a "put" or "tender option," and the aggregate price
which the Fund pays for Municipal Bonds with puts or tender options is higher
than the price which otherwise would be paid for the Bonds. Consistent with the
Fund's investment objective and subject to the supervision of the Board of
Directors, the primary purpose of this practice is to permit the Fund to be
fully invested in securities the interest on which is exempt from federal income
taxes while preserving the necessary liquidity to purchase securities on a
when-issued basis, to meet unusually large redemptions and to purchase, at a
later date, securities other than those subject to the put. The Fund's policy is
generally to exercise the puts or tender options on their expiration date when
the exercise price is higher than the current market price for related Municipal
Bonds. Puts or tender options may be exercised prior to the expiration date in
order to fund obligations to purchase other securities or to meet redemption
requests. These obligations may arise during periods in which proceeds from
sales of Fund shares and from recent sales of portfolio securities are
insufficient to meet such obligations or when the funds available are otherwise
allocated for investment. In addition, puts may be exercised prior to the
expiration date in the event the Fund's investment adviser revises its
evaluation of the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying security. In
determining whether to exercise puts or tender options prior to their expiration
date and in selecting which puts or tender options to exercise in such
circumstances, the investment adviser considers, among other things, the amount
of cash available to the Fund, the expiration dates of the available puts or
tender options, any future commitments for securities purchases, the yield,
quality and maturity dates of the underlying securities, alternative investment
opportunities and the desirability of retaining the underlying securities in the
Fund's portfolio.

     The Fund values Municipal Bonds which are subject to puts or tender options
at amortized cost; no value is assigned to the put or tender option. The cost of
the put or tender option is carried as an unrealized loss from the time of
purchase until it is exercised or expires. The value of the put or tender option
is dependent on the ability of the put writer to meet its obligation of
repurchase, and it is the Fund's general policy to enter into put or tender
option transactions only with such brokers, dealers or other financial
institutions which present minimal credit risks. There is a credit risk
associated with the purchase of puts or tender options in that the broker,
dealer or financial institution might default on its obligation to repurchase an
underlying security. The Fund has received a ruling of the Internal Revenue
Service to the effect that the Fund will be considered the owner of the
Municipal Bonds subject to the puts or tender options so that the interest on
the bonds will be tax-exempt income to the Fund.

     WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. Municipal Bonds are frequently
offered on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. When so offered, the price
and coupon rate are fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is made, but
delivery and payment for the when-issued securities take place at a later date.
The purchase price and the interest rate payable on the securities are fixed on
the transaction date. The securities so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation and, during the period between purchase and settlement, no interest
accrues to the purchaser. While securities may be sold prior to the settlement
date, the Fund intends to purchase such securities with the purpose of actually
acquiring them unless a sale would be desirable for investment reasons. At the
time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a Municipal Bond on a when-issued
or delayed delivery basis, it will record the transaction and reflect the value
of the bond in determining its net asset value. The Fund will also establish a
segregated account with its custodian bank in which it will maintain cash or
other liquid assets equal in value to commitments for when-issued or delayed
delivery securities. If the Fund chooses to dispose of the when-issued or
delayed delivery security prior to the settlement date, it could, as with the
disposition of any other portfolio obligation, incur a gain or loss due to
market fluctuation. The Fund does not believe that its net asset value or net
investment income will be adversely affected by its purchase of Municipal Bonds
on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. The Fund may invest in when-issued
or delayed delivery securities without other limitation.

     OTHER MATTERS. For purposes of diversification under the Investment Company
Act, the identification of the issuer of Municipal Bonds depends on the terms
and conditions of the obligation. If the assets and revenues of an agency,
authority,


                                      B-3
<PAGE>


instrumentality or other political subdivision are separate from those of the
government creating the subdivision, and the obligation is backed only by the
assets and revenues of the subdivision, such subdivision would be regarded as
the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of a private activity revenue bond or
pollution control revenue bond, if the bond is backed only by the assets and
revenues of the nongovernmental user, the nongovernmental user would be regarded
as the sole issuer. If in either case the creating government or another entity
guarantees an obligation, the guarantee would be regarded as a separate security
and treated as an issue of such government or entity.

BORROWING

     The Fund may borrow from banks (including through entering into reverse
repurchase agreements) up to and including 5% of the value of its total assets
taken at cost for temporary or emergency purposes. The Fund may pledge up to and
including 10% of its net assets to secure such borrowings.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     The Fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in repurchase agreements whereby
the seller of a security agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a
mutually agreed-upon time and price. The period of maturity is usually quite
short, possibly overnight or a few days, although it may extend over a number of
months. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price, reflecting an
agreed-upon rate of return effective for the period of time the Fund's money is
invested in the security. The Fund's repurchase agreements will at all times be
fully collateralized in an amount at least equal to the resale price. The
instruments held as collateral are valued daily, and if the value of instruments
declines, the Fund will require additional collateral. If the seller defaults
and the value of the collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines, the
Fund may incur a loss. The Fund participates in a joint repurchase account with
other investment companies managed by PIFM pursuant to an order of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

ILLIQUID SECURITIES

     The Fund may not hold more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid
securities. If the Fund were to exceed this limit, the investment adviser would
take prompt action to reduce the Fund's holdings in illiquid securities to no
more than 10% of its net assets, as required by applicable law. Historically,
illiquid securities have included securities subject to contractual or legal
restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), securities which are
otherwise not readily marketable and repurchase agreements having a maturity of
longer than seven days. Securities which have not been registered under the
Securities Act are referred to as private placements or restricted securities
and are purchased directly from the issuer or in the secondary market. Mutual
funds do not typically hold a significant amount of these restricted or other
illiquid securities because of the potential for delays on resale and
uncertainty in valuation. Limitations on resale may have an adverse effect on
the marketability of portfolio securities and a mutual fund might be unable to
dispose of restricted or other illiquid securities promptly or at reasonable
prices and might thereby experience difficulty satisfying redemptions within
seven days. A mutual fund might also have to register such restricted securities
in order to dispose of them, resulting in additional expense and delay. Adverse
market conditions could impede such a public offering of securities.

     In recent years, however, a large institutional market has developed for
certain securities that are not registered under the Securities Act including
repurchase agreements, commercial paper, foreign securities, municipal
securities, convertible and corporate bonds and notes. Institutional investors
depend on an efficient institutional market in which the unregistered security
can be readily resold or an issuer's ability to honor a demand for repayment.
The fact that there are contractual or legal restrictions on resale to the
general public or to certain institutions may not be indicative of the liquidity
of such investments.

     Rule 144A under the Securities Act allows for a broader institutional
trading market for securities otherwise subject to restriction on resale to the
general public. Rule 144A establishes a "safe harbor" from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act for resales of certain securities to
qualified institutional buyers.

     Restricted securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, commercial paper and municipal lease obligations for which there
is a readily available market will not be deemed to be illiquid under procedures
established by the Board of Directors. The investment adviser will monitor the
liquidity of such restricted securities subject to the supervision of the Board
of Directors. In reaching liquidity decisions, the investment adviser will
consider, inter alia, the following factors: (1) the frequency of trades and
quotes for the security; (2) the number of dealers wishing to purchase or sell
the security and the number of other potential purchasers; (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market in the security; and (4) the nature of the
security and the nature of the marketplace trades (e.g., the time needed to
dispose of the security, the method of soliciting offers and the


                                      B-4
<PAGE>



mechanics of the transfer). With respect to municipal lease obligations, the
investment adviser will also consider: (1) the willingness of the municipality
to continue, annually or biannually, to appropriate funds for payment of the
lease; (2) the general credit quality of the municipality and the essentiality
to the municipality of the property covered by the lease; (3) in the case of
unrated municipal lease obligations, an analysis of factors similar to that
performed by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) in
evaluating the credit quality of a municipal lease obligation, including (i)
whether the lease can be cancelled; (ii) if applicable, what assurance there is
that the assets represented by the lease can be sold; (iii) the strength of the
lessee's general credit (e.g., its debt, administrative, economic and financial
characteristics); (iv) the likelihood that the municipality will discontinue
appropriating funding for the leased property because the property is no longer
deemed essential to the operations of the municipality (e.g., the potential for
an event of nonappropriation); and (v) the legal recourse in the event of
failure to appropriate; and (4) any other factors unique to municipal lease
obligations as determined by the investment adviser. With respect to commercial
paper that is issued in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act: (1) it
must be rated in one of the two highest rating categories by at least two
NRSROs, or if only one NRSRO rates the securities, by that NRSRO, or, if
unrated, be of comparable quality in the view of the investment adviser; and (2)
it must not be "traded flat" (i.e., without accrued interest) or in default as
to principal or interest. Repurchase agreements subject to demand are deemed to
have a maturity equal to the notice period.



                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

     The following restrictions are fundamental policies. Fundamental policies
are those which cannot be changed without the approval of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. A "majority of the
outstanding voting securities," when used in this Statement of Additional
Information, means the lesser of (i) 67% of the voting shares represented at a
meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares are present in
person or represented by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting
shares. With respect to the submission of a change in fundamental policy or
investment objective of the Fund, such matters shall be deemed to have been
effectively acted upon with respect to the Fund if a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund votes for the approval of such matters as provided
above.

     The following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund
and may not be changed except as described above.

     The Fund may not:

     (1) Invest more than 5% of the market or other fair value of its total
assets in the securities of any one issuer (other than obligations of, or
guaranteed by, the United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities
or secured by such obligations). See "Municipal Bonds--Other Matters" under
"Description of the Fund, its Investments and Risks" for the definition of an
issuer.

     (2) Make short sales of securities.

     (3) Purchase securities on margin, except for such short-term credits as
are necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities.

     (4) Borrow money, except that the Fund may borrow for temporary purposes in
amounts not exceeding 5% of the market or other fair value (taken at the lower
of cost or current value) of its total assets (not including the amount
borrowed). Any such borrowings will be made only from banks. Secured temporary
borrowings may take the form of reverse repurchase agreements, pursuant to which
the Fund would sell portfolio securities for cash and simultaneously agree to
repurchase them at a specified date for the same amount of cash plus an interest
component. The Fund would maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian,
liquid assets equal in value to the amount owed.

     (5) Pledge its assets or assign or otherwise encumber them in excess of 10%
of its assets (taken at market or other fair value at the time of pledging) and
then only to secure borrowings effected within the limitations set forth in
restriction (4).

     (6) Engage in the underwriting of securities.

     (7) Purchase or sell real estate mortgage loans, although it may purchase
Municipal Bonds secured by interests in real estate.

     (8) Make loans of money or securities, except through the purchase of debt
obligations or repurchase agreements.

     (9) Purchase securities of other investment companies, except in the open
market involving only customary brokerage commissions and as a result of which
not more than 10% of its total assets (determined at the time of investment)
would be invested in such securities or except in connection with a merger,
consolidation, reorganization or acquisition of assets.

     (10) Invest for the purpose of exercising control or management of another
company.


                                      B-5
<PAGE>


     (11) Purchase industrial revenue bonds if, as a result of such purchase,
more than 5% of total Fund assets would be invested in industrial revenue bonds
where payment of principal and interest are the responsibility of companies with
less than three years of operating history.

     In addition, the Fund may not purchase any security (other than obligations
of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities) if as a result 25%
or more of the value of the Fund's total assets (determined at the time of
investment) would be invested in the securities of one or more issuers
conducting their principal business activities in the same industry.

     Whenever any fundamental investment policy or investment restriction states
a maximum percentage of the Fund's assets, it is intended that if the percentage
limitation is met at the time the action is taken, a later change in percentage
resulting from changing total or net asset values will not be considered a
violation of such policy. However, in the event that the Fund's asset coverage
for borrowings falls below 300%, the Fund will take action within three days to
reduce its borrowings, as required by applicable law.

     Directors and officers of the Fund are also trustees, directors and
officers of some or all of the other investment companies distributed by
Prudential Securities.

     The officers conduct and supervise the daily business operations of the
Fund, while the Directors, in addition to their functions set forth under
"Manager" and "Distributor," review such actions and decide on general policy.

     The Board of Directors has adopted a retirement policy which calls for the
retirement of Directors on December 31 of the year in which they reach the age
of 75.

     Pursuant to the Management Agreement with the Fund, the Manager pays all
compensation of officers and employees of the Fund as well as the fees and
expenses of all Directors of the Fund who are affiliated persons of the Manager.


     The Fund pays each of its Directors who is not an affiliated person of PIFM
annual compensation of $1,225, in addition to certain out-of-pocket expenses.
Directors who serve on Fund Committees receive additional compensation. The
amount of compensation paid to each Director may change as a result of the
introduction of additional funds upon which the Director will be asked to serve.

     Directors may receive their Directors' fees pursuant to a deferred fee
agreement with the Fund. Under the terms of the agreement, the Fund accrues
daily the amount of such Director's fees in installments which accrue interest
at a rate equivalent to the prevailing rate applicable to 90-day U.S. Treasury
Bills at the beginning of each calendar quarter (the T-Bill rate) or, pursuant
to an SEC exemptive order, at the daily rate of return of the Fund (the Fund
rate). Payment of the interest so accrued is also deferred and accruals become
payable at the option of the Director. The Fund's obligation to make payments of
deferred Directors' fees, together with interest thereon, is a general
obligation of the Fund.

     The following table sets forth the aggregate compensation paid by the Fund
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 to the Directors who are not
affiliated with the Manager and the aggregate compensation paid to such
Directors for service on the Fund's Board and that of all other funds managed by
PIFM (Fund Complex) for the calendar year ended December 31, 1999.

group, beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
of the Fund.

     As of February 11, 2000, there were no beneficial owners, directly or
indirectly, of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock of the Prudential

     As of February 11, 2000, Prudential Securities was the record holder for
other beneficial owners of 166,475,680 shares of the Fund, representing
approximately 92.2% of the shares then outstanding. In the event of any meetings
of shareholders, Prudential Securities will forward, or cause the forwarding of,
proxy materials to the beneficial owners for which it is the record holder.


                     INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES

(A)  INVESTMENT ADVISER

     The manager of the Fund is Prudential Investments Fund Management LLC (PIFM
or the Manager), Gateway Center Three, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, New Jersey
07102-4077. PIFM serves as manager to all of the other investment companies
that, together with the Fund, comprise the Prudential Mutual Funds. See "How the
Fund is Managed--Manager" in the Prospectus. As of December 31, 1999, PIFM
managed and/or administered open-end and closed-end management investment
companies with assets of approximately $73.5 billion. According to the
Investment Company Institute, as of September 30, 1999, the Prudential Mutual
Funds were the 20th largest family of mutual funds in the United States.

     PIFM is a subsidiary of Prudential Securities Incorporated. Prudential
Mutual Fund Services LLC (PMFS or the Transfer Agent), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of PIFM, serves as the transfer agent and dividend distribution agent for the
Prudential Mutual Funds and, in addition, provides customer service,
recordkeeping and management and administration services to qualified plans.

     Pursuant to the Management Agreement with the Fund (the Management
Agreement), PIFM, subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board of Directors
and in conformity with the stated policies of the Fund, manages both the
investment operations of the Fund and the composition of the Fund's portfolio,
including the purchase, retention, disposition and loan of securities and other
assets. In connection therewith, PIFM is obligated to keep certain books and
records of the Fund. PIFM has hired The Prudential Investment Corporation, doing
business as Prudential Investments (PI, the investment adviser or the
Subadviser), to provide subadvisory services to the Fund. PIFM also administers
the Fund's corporate affairs and, in connection therewith, furnishes the Fund
with office facilities, together with those ordinary clerical and bookkeeping
services which are not being furnished by State Street Bank and Trust Company,
the Fund's custodian (the Custodian), and PMFS, the Fund's transfer and dividend
disbursing agent. The management services of PIFM for the Fund are not exclusive
under the terms of the Management Agreement and PIFM is free to, and does,
render management services to others.

     For its services, PIFM receives, pursuant the Management Agreement, a fee
at an annual rate of .50 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $750
million, .425 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $750 million
and $1.5 billion and .375 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess
of $1.5 billion. The fee is computed daily and payable monthly. The Management
Agreement also provides that in the event the expenses of the Fund (including
the fees payable to PIFM, but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions,
distribution fees and litigation and indemnification expenses and other
extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's
business) for any fiscal year exceed the lowest applicable annual expense
limitation established and enforced pursuant to the statutes or regulations of
any jurisdiction in which shares of the Fund are then qualified for offer and
sale, the compensation due to PIFM will be reduced by the amount of such excess.
Reductions in excess of the total compensation payable to PIFM will be paid by
PIFM to the Fund. Currently, the Fund believes that there are no such expense
limitations.

     In connection with its management of the corporate affairs of the Fund
pursuant to the Management Agreement, PIFM bears the following expenses:

          (a) the salaries and expenses of all personnel of PIFM and the Fund,
     except the fees and expenses of Directors who are not affiliated persons of
     PIFM or the Fund's investment adviser;

          (b) all expenses incurred by PIFM or by the Fund in connection with
     managing the ordinary course of the Fund's business, other than those
     assumed by the Fund, as described below; and

          (c) the costs and expenses payable to the investment advisor pursuant
     to the subadvisory agreement between PIFM and PI (the Subadvisory
     Agreement).


                                      B-9
<PAGE>


     Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Fund is responsible for
the payment of the following expenses, (a) the fees payable to the Manager, (b)
the fees and expenses of Directors who are not affiliated with PIFM or the
Fund's Subadvisor, (c) the fees and certain expenses of the Fund's Custodian and
Transfer Agent, including the cost of providing records to the Manager in
connection with its obligation of maintaining required records of the Fund and
of pricing the Fund's shares, (d) the charges and expenses of the Fund's legal
counsel and independent accountants, (e) brokerage commissions, if any, and any
issue or transfer taxes chargeable to the Fund in connection with its securities
transactions, (f) all taxes and corporate fees payable by the Fund to
governmental agencies, (g) the fees of any trade association of which the Fund
is a member, (h) the cost of stock certificates representing shares of the Fund,
(i) the cost of fidelity and liability insurance, (j) the fees and expenses
involved in registering and maintaining registration of the Fund and of its
shares with the SEC, including the preparation and printing of the Fund's
registration statements and prospectuses for such purposes, and paying the fees
and expenses of notice filings made in accordance with state securities laws,
(k) allocable communications expenses with respect to investor services and all
expenses of shareholders' and Directors' meetings and of preparing, printing and
mailing reports, proxy statements and prospectuses to shareholders, (l)
litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not
incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business, and (m) distribution
expenses.

     The Management Agreement also provides that PIFM will not be liable for any
error of judgment or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the
matters to which the Management Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from
a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for
services or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of duty. The Management Agreement provides that
it will terminate automatically if assigned (as defined in the Investment
Company Act), and that it may be terminated without penalty by either party upon
not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice. The Management
Agreement provides that it will continue in effect for a period of more than two
years from the date of execution only so long as such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually in accordance with the requirements of
the Investment Company Act.

     For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, PIFM received
management fees of $1,013,590, $1,389,197 and $1,699,125, respectively.

     PIFM has entered into the Subadvisory Agreement with PI, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Prudential. The Subadvisory Agreement provides that PI furnish
investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In
connection therewith, PI is obligated to keep certain books and records of the
Fund. PIFM continues to have responsibility for all investment advisory services
pursuant to the Management Agreement and supervises PI's performance of such
services. PI was reimbursed by PIFM for the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by PI in furnishing services to PIFM. Effective January 1, 2000, PI is
paid by PIFM at an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net
assets (representing half of the compensation received from the Fund by PIFM).

     The Subadviser maintains a corporate credit unit which provides credit
analysis and research on taxable fixed-income securities, including money market
instruments. The portfolio manager consults routinely with the credit unit in
managing the Fund's portfolio. The credit unit, with a staff including credit
analysts, reviews on an ongoing basis commercial paper issuers, commercial
banks, non-bank financial institutions and issuers of other taxable fixed-income
obligations. Credit analysts have broad access to research and financial
reports, data retrieval services and industry analysts. They maintain
relationships with the management of corporate issuers and from time to time
visit companies in whose securities the Fund may invest.

     The Subadvisory Agreement provides that it will terminate in the event of
its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company Act) or upon the
termination of the Management Agreement. The Subadvisory Agreement may be
terminated by the Fund, PIFM or PI upon not more than 60 days' nor less than 30
days' written notice. The Subadvisory Agreement provides that it will continue
in effect for a period of more than two years from its execution only so long as
such continuance is specifically approved by the Board of Directors at least
annually in accordance with the requirements of the Investment Company Act.

(B)  PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER, DISTRIBUTOR AND RULE 12B-1 PLAN

     Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (PIMS or the Distributor),
Gateway Center Three, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102-4077, acts
as the distributor of the shares of the Fund.

     Pursuant to the Fund's Distribution Agreement, the Fund has agreed to
indemnify the Distributor to the extent permitted by applicable law against
certain liabilities under the federal securities laws.


                                      B-10
<PAGE>


DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN

     Under the Fund's Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan) and Distribution
Agreement, the Fund pays the Distributor a distribution and service fee of up to
0.125% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares of the Fund,
computed daily and payable monthly. Under the Plan, the Fund is required to pay
the distribution and service fee regardless of the expenses incurred by the
Distributor.

     For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, Prudential Securities and PIMS
collectively received payments of $253,397, under the Plan. It is estimated that
all this amount was spent on commission credits to Prudential Securities and
Prusec for payments of account servicing fees to financial advisers and an
allocation of overhead and other branch office distribution-related expenses.
The term "overhead and other branch office distribution-related expenses"
represents (a) the expenses of operating branch offices of Prudential Securities
and Pruco Securities Corporation (Prusec), an affiliated broker-dealer, in
connection with the sale of Fund shares, including lease costs, the salaries and
employee benefits of operations and sales support personnel, utility costs,
communications costs and the costs of stationery and supplies, (b) the costs of
client sales seminars, (c) travel expenses of mutual fund sales coordinators to
promote the sale of Fund shares and (d) other incidental expenses relating to
branch promotion of Fund sales.

     The Plan continues in effect from year to year, provided that each such
continuance is approved at least annually by a vote of the Board of Directors,
including a majority of the Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund
and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the Plan or in any
agreement relating to the Plan (the Rule 12b-1 Directors), cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such continuance. The Plan may be
terminated at any time, without penalty, by the vote of a majority of the Rule
12b-1 Directors or by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Class A voting securities of the Fund on not more than 30 days' written notice
to any other party to the Plan. The Plan may not be amended to increase
materially the amounts to be spent for the services described therein without
shareholder approval, and all material amendments must also be approved by the
Board of Directors in the manner described above. The Plan will automatically
terminate in the event of its assignment.

     Pursuant to the Plan, the Directors will be provided with, and will review,
at least quarterly, a written report of the distribution expenses incurred on
behalf of the Fund by the Distributor. The report will include an itemization of
the distribution expenses and the purpose of such expenditures. In addition, as
long as the Plan remains in effect, the selection and nomination of Directors
shall be committed to the Rule 12b-1 Directors.

     Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Fund has agreed to indemnify
the Distributor to the extent permitted by applicable law against certain
liabilities under the Securities Act.

     NASD MAXIMUM SALES CHARGE RULE. Pursuant to rules of the NASD, the
Distributor is required to limit aggregate initial sales charges, deferred sales
charges and asset-based sales charges to 6.25% of total gross sales of the
Fund's Class A shares. Interest charges on unreimbursed distribution expenses
equal to the prime rate plus one percent per annum may be added to the 6.25%
limitation. Sales from the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not
included in the calculation of the 6.25% limitation. The annual asset-based
sales charge on Class A shares of the Fund may not exceed .75 of 1% per class.
The 6.25% limitation applies to Class A shares rather than on a per shareholder
basis. If aggregate sales charges were to exceed 6.25% of the total gross sales
of Class A shares, all sales charges on Class A shares would be suspended.

(C)  OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

     State Street Bank and Trust Company, One Heritage Drive, North Quincy,
Massachusetts 02171, serves as Custodian for the Fund's portfolio securities,
and in that capacity maintains cash and certain financial and accounting books
and records pursuant to an agreement with the Fund.

     Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (PMFS), Raritan Plaza One, Edison, New
Jersey 08837, serves as the Transfer Agent of the Fund. It is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PIFM. PMFS provides customary transfer agency services to the
Fund, including the handling of shareholder communications, the processing of
shareholder transactions, the maintenance of shareholder account records,
payment of dividends and distributions and related functions. In connection with
services rendered to the Fund, PMFS receives an annual fee ($9.50) per
shareholder account, a new account set up fee ($2.00) for each
manually-established account and a monthly inactive zero balance account fee
($0.20) per shareholder account plus its out-of-pocket expenses, including but
not limited to postage, stationery, printing, allocable communications and other
costs.

     PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York
10036, serves as the Fund's independent accountants and in that capacity audits
the Fund's annual financial statements.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

     The services provided to the Fund and the shareholders by the Manager, the
Distributor, the Transfer Agent and the Custodian depend on the smooth
functioning of their computer systems and those of outside service providers.
Although the


                                      B-11
<PAGE>


Fund has not experienced any material problems with the services provided by the
Manager, Distributor, Transfer Agent or the Custodian as a result of the change
from 1999 to 2000, there is a possibility that computer software systems in use
might be impaired or unavailable because of the way dates are encoded and
calculated. Such an event could have a negative impact on handling securities
trades, payments of interest and dividends, pricing and account services.
Although, at this time, there can be no assurance that there will be no future
adverse impact on the Fund, the Manager, the Distributor, the Transfer Agent and
the Custodian have advised the Fund that they have completed necessary changes
to their computer systems in connection with the year 2000. The Funds service
providers (or other securities market Participants) may experience future
material problems in connection with the year 2000. The Company and its Board
have instructed the Funds principal service providers to monitor and report year
2000 problems.

     Additionally, issuers of securities generally, as well as those purchased
by the Fund, may confront year 2000 compliance issues at some later time which,
if material and not resolved, could have an adverse impact on securities markets
and/or a specific issuer's performance and could result in a decline in the
value of the securities held by the Fund.


                    BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES

     The Manager is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the
Fund, the selection of brokers and dealers to effect the transactions and the
negotiation of brokerage commissions, if any. For purposes of this section the
term "Manager" includes the Subadviser. The Fund does not normally incur any
brokerage commission expense on such transactions. In the market for money
market instruments, securities are generally traded on a "net" basis, with
dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission,
although the price of the security usually includes a profit to the dealer. In
underwritten offerings, securities are purchased at a fixed price which includes
an amount of compensation to the underwriter, generally referred to as the
underwriter's concession or discount. On occasion, certain money market
instruments may be purchased directly from an issuer, in which case no
commissions or discounts are paid.

     In placing orders for portfolio securities of the Fund, the Manager is
required to give primary consideration to obtaining the most favorable price and
efficient execution. This means that the Manager will seek to execute each
transaction at a price and commission, if any, which provide the most favorable
total cost or proceeds reasonably attainable under the circumstances. While the
Manager generally seeks reasonably competitive spreads or commissions, the Fund
will not necessarily be paying the lowest spread or commission available. Within
the framework of this policy, the Manager may consider research and investment
services provided by brokers or dealers who effect or are parties to portfolio
transactions of the Fund, the Manager or the Manager's other clients. Such
research and investment services are those which brokerage houses customarily
provide to institutional investors and include statistical and economic data and
research reports on particular companies and industries. Such services are used
by the Manager in connection with all of its investment activities, and some of
such services obtained in connection with the execution of transactions for the
Fund may be used in managing other investment accounts. Conversely, brokers
furnishing such services may be selected for the execution of transactions of
such other accounts, whose aggregate assets are far larger than those of the
Fund, and the services furnished by such brokers may be used by the Manager in
providing investment management for the Fund. While such services are useful and
important in supplementing its own research and facilities, the Manager believes
that the value of such services is not determinable and does not significantly
reduce expenses. The Fund does not reduce the fee it pays to the Manager by any
amount that may be attributed to the value of such services. The Fund will not
effect any securities transactions with or through Prudential Securities as
broker or dealer.

     During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Fund
paid no brokerage commissions.


                           SECURITIES AND ORGANIZATION

     The Fund is authorized to issue three billion shares of common stock, $.01
par value per share, divided into two classes, designated Class A and Class Z
common stock. Of the authorized shares of common stock of the Fund, 1.5 billion
shares consist of Class A shares and 1.5 billion shares consist of Class Z
shares.

     Currently, the Fund offers only Class A shares. Shares of the Fund, when
issued, are fully paid, nonassessable, fully transferable and redeemable at the
option of the shareholder. All shares are equal as to earnings, assets and
voting privileges. There are no conversion, pre-emptive or other subscription
rights. In the event of liquidation, each share of common stock of the Fund is
entitled to its portion of all the Fund's assets after all debts and expenses
have been paid. The shares of the Fund do not have cumulative voting rights for
the election of directors.

     The Fund does not intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders unless
otherwise required by law. The Fund will not be required to hold meetings of
shareholders unless, for example, the election of Directors is required to be
acted on by shareholders


                                      B-12
<PAGE>


under the Investment Company Act. Shareholders have certain rights, including
the right to call a meeting upon a vote of 10% or more of the Fund's outstanding
shares for the purpose of voting on the removal of one or more Directors or to
transact any other business.

                     PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES

PURCHASE OF SHARES

     The Fund reserves the right to reject any initial or subsequent purchase
(including an exchange) and the right to limit investments in the Fund solely to
existing or past shareholders of the Fund.

     Shares of the Fund may be purchased by investors through the Distributor,
by brokers that have entered its agreements to sell Fund shares, or directly
through Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (PMFS). Shares may also be purchased
through Prudential Securities or Pruco Securities Corporation (Prusec).
Prudential Securities clients who hold Fund shares through Prudential Securities
may benefit through administrative conveniences afforded them as Prudential
Securities clients, but may be subject to certain additional restrictions
imposed by Prudential Securities.

REOPENING AN ACCOUNT

     Subject to the minimum investment restrictions, an investor may reopen an
account, without filing a new application form, at any time during the calendar
year the account is closed, provided that the existing account information is
still accurate.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES

     Investors who purchase shares directly from PMFS may use the following
privileges:

     CHECK REDEMPTION. At a shareholder's request, State Street Bank will
establish a personal checking account for the shareholder. Checks drawn on this
account can be made payable to the order of any person in any amount equal to or
greater than $500. The payee of the check may cash or deposit it like any other
check drawn on a bank. When such a check is presented to State Street for
payment, State Street presents the check to the Fund as authority to redeem a
sufficient number of shares in a shareholder's account in the Fund to cover the
amount of the check. This enables the shareholder to continue earning daily
dividends until the check is cleared. Canceled checks are returned to the
shareholder by State Street.

     Shareholders are subject to State Street's rules and regulations governing
checking accounts, including the right of State Street not to honor checks in
amounts exceeding the value of the shareholder's account at the time the check
is presented for payment.

     Shares for which certificates have been issued are not available for
redemption to cover checks. A shareholder should be certain that adequate shares
for which certificates have not been issued are in his or her account to cover
the amount of the check. Also, shares purchased by check are not available to
cover checks until 10 calendar days after receipt of the purchase check by PMFS.
If insufficient shares are in the account, or if the purchase was made by check
within 10 calendar days, the check will be returned marked "insufficient funds."
Since the dollar value of an account is constantly changing, it is not possible
for a shareholder to determine in advance the total value of his or her account
so as to write a check for the redemption of the entire account.

     PMFS reserves the right to assess a service charge to establish a checking
account and to order checks. State Street, PMFS and the Fund have reserved the
right to modify this checking redemption privilege or to place a charge for each
check presented for payment for any individual account or for all accounts in
the future.

     The Fund, PMFS or State Street may terminate Check Redemption at any time
upon 30 days' notice to participating shareholders. To receive further
information, contact Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC, Attention: Redemption
Services, P.O. Box 15010, New Brunswick, New Jersey 08906-5010, or telephone
(800) 225-1852 (toll-free). Check Redemption is not available to investors for
whom Prudential Securities has purchased shares.

     EXPEDITED REDEMPTION. In order to use Expedited Redemption, a shareholder
may so designate at the time the initial application form is filed or at a later
date. Once the completed Expedited Redemption authorization form has been
returned to PMFS, requests for redemption may be made by telephone. Redemption
proceeds will be transmitted by wire to the shareholder's account at a domestic
commercial bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Fund does
not forward redemption proceeds with respect to shares purchased by check until
at least 10 calendar days after receipt of the purchase check by PMFS.

     To request an expedited redemption by telephone, a shareholder should call
PMFS at (800) 225-1852. Calls must be received by PMFS before 4:30 P.M., New
York time, in order for the redemption to be effective on that day. Requests by
letter should be addressed to Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC, at the
address set forth above.

     REGULAR REDEMPTION. Shareholders may redeem their shares by sending to
PMFS, at the address set forth above, a written request. All written requests
for redemption, must be endorsed by the shareholder with signature guaranteed,
as described below. PMFS may request further documentation from corporations,
executors, administrators, trustees or guardians. Redemption proceeds are sent
to a shareholder's address by check.

     SIGNATURE GUARANTEE. If the proceeds of the redemption (a) exceed $100,000,
(b) are to be paid to a person other than the record owner, (c) are to be sent
to an address other than the address on the Transfer Agent's records or (d) are
to be paid to a corporation, partnership, trust or fiduciary, the signature(s)
on the redemption request must be signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor
institution." An "eligible guarantor institution" includes any bank, broker,
dealer or credit union. The Transfer Agent reserves the right to request
additional information from, and make reasonable inquiries of, any eligible
guarantor institution. PMFS may request further documentation from corporations,
executors, administrators, trustees or guardians.

REDEMPTION IN KIND

     If the Board of Directors determines that it would be detrimental to the
best interests of the remaining shareholders of the Fund to make payment wholly
or partly in cash, the Fund may pay the redemption price in whole or in part by
a distribution in kind of securities from the investment portfolio of the Fund,
in lieu of cash, in conformity with applicable rules of the SEC. Any such
securities will be readily marketable and will be valued in the same manner as
in a regular redemption. If your shares are redeemed in kind, you would incur
transaction costs in converting the assets into cash. The Fund, however, has
elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company Act pursuant
to which the Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to the lesser
of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of the Fund during any 90-day period
for any one shareholder.

RESTRICTIONS ON SALES

     The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of
payment for a period of up to seven days. Suspensions or postponements may not
exceed seven days except (1) for any period (a) during which the New York Stock
Exchange is closed, other than for customary weekend and holiday closings or (b)
during which trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; (2) for any
period during which an emergency exists as a result of which (a) disposal by the
Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or (b) it is not
reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine the value of its net
assets; or (3) for such other periods as the SEC may by order permit for the
protection of shareholders of the Fund. The SEC by rules and regulations
determines the conditions under which (i) trading shall be deemed to be
restricted and (ii) an emergency is deemed to exist within the meaning of clause
(2) above.


                                 NET ASSET VALUE

     The Fund's net asset value per share is determined by subtracting its
liabilities from the value of its assets and dividing the remainder by the
number of outstanding shares.

     The Fund uses the amortized cost method of valuation to determine the value
of its portfolio securities. In that regard, the Fund's Board of Directors has
determined to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days
or less, to purchase only instruments having remaining maturities of thirteen
months or less, and to invest only in securities determined by the investment
adviser under the supervision of the Board of Directors to be of minimal credit
risk and to be of "eligible quality" in accordance with regulations of the SEC.
The remaining maturity of an instrument held by the Fund that is subject to a
put is deemed to be the period remaining until the principal amount can be
recovered through demand or, in the case of a variable rate instrument, the next
interest reset date, if longer. The value assigned to the put is zero. The Board
of Directors also has established procedures designed to stabilize, to the
extent reasonably possible, the Fund's price per share as computed for the
purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00. Such procedures will include review
of a Fund's portfolio holdings by the Board, at such intervals as deemed
appropriate, to determine whether the Fund's net asset value calculated by using
available market quotations deviates from $1.00 per share based on amortized
cost. The extent of any deviation will be examined by the Board, and if such
deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Board will promptly consider what action, if
any, will be initiated. In the event the Board of Directors determines that a
deviation exists which may result in material dilution or other unfair results
to investors or existing shareholders, the Board will take such corrective
action as it regards necessary and appropriate, including the sale of portfolio
instruments prior to maturity to realize gains or losses, the shortening of
average portfolio maturity, the withholding of dividends or the establishment of
net asset value per share by using available market quotations.

     The Fund computes its net asset value at 4:30 PM New York time, on each day
the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open for trading. In the event the
Exchange closes early on any business day, the net asset value of the Fund's
shares shall be determined at a time between such closing and 4:30 PM New York
time. The Exchange is closed on the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin
Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence
Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

                       TAXES, DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

     The Fund has elected to qualify, and the Fund intends to remain qualified,
as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. This relieves a fund (but not its shareholders) from
paying federal income tax on income which is distributed to shareholders, and,
if a fund did realize long-term capital gains, permits net capital gains of the
fund (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term
capital losses) to be treated as long-term capital gains of the shareholders,
regardless of how long shareholders have held their shares in that fund.

     Qualification as a regulated investment company requires, among other
things, that (a) at least 90% of a fund's annual gross income (without reduction
for losses from the sale or other disposition of securities or foreign
currencies) be derived from interest, dividends, payments with respect to
securities loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of securities or
options thereon, or other income (including, but not limited to, gains from
options) derived with respect to its business of investing in such securities;
(b) a fund must diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of
the taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the market value of a fund's assets is
represented by cash, U.S. Government obligations and other securities limited in
respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater than 5% of the market value
of the fund's assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such
issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its assets is invested in the
securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government obligations) and (c)
the fund must distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its net investment
income and net short-term gains (i.e., the excess of net short-term capital
gains over net long-term capital losses) in each year.

     Gains or losses on sales of securities by the Fund will be treated as
long-term capital gains or losses if the securities have been held by it for
more than one year. The Fund does not anticipate realizing long-term capital
gains or losses. Other gains or losses on the sale of securities will be
short-term capital gains or losses. In addition, debt securities acquired by the
Fund may be subject to original issue discount and market discount rules.

     The Fund is required to distribute 98% of its ordinary income in the same
calendar year in which it is earned. The Fund is also required to distribute
during the calendar year 98% of the capital gain net income it earned during the
twelve months ending on October 31 of such calendar year, as well as all
undistributed ordinary income and undistributed capital gain net income from the
prior year or the twelve-month period ending on October 31 of such prior year,
respectively. To the extent it does not meet these distribution requirements,
the Fund will be subject to a non-deductible 4% excise tax on the undistributed
amount. For purposes of this excise tax, income on which the Fund pays income
tax is treated as distributed. The Fund intends to make timely distributions in
order to avoid this excise tax. For this purpose, dividends declared in October,
November and December payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in
October, November and December and paid in the following January will be treated
as having been received by shareholders on December 31 of the calendar year in
which declared. Under this rule, therefore, a shareholder may be taxed in the
prior year on dividends or distributions actually received in January of the
following year.

     It is anticipated that the net asset value per share of the Fund will
remain constant. However, if the net asset value per share fluctuates, a
shareholder may realize gain or loss upon the disposition of a share.
Distributions of net investment income and net short-term gains will be taxable
to the shareholder at ordinary income rates regardless of whether the
shareholder receives such distributions in additional shares or cash. Any gain
or loss realized upon a sale or redemption of shares by a shareholder who is not
a dealer in securities will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or
loss if the shares have been held for more than one year and otherwise as
short-term capital gain or loss. Any such loss, however, although otherwise
treated as short-term capital loss, will be long-term capital loss to the extent
of any capital gain distributions received by the shareholder, if the shares
have been held for six months or less. Furthermore, certain rules may apply
which would limit the ability of the shareholder to recognize any loss if, for
example, the shareholder replaced the shares (including shares purchased
pursuant to dividend reinvestment) within 30 days of the disposition of the
shares. In such a case the basis of the shares acquired will be readjusted to
reflect the disallowed loss. Shareholders who have held their shares for six
months or less may be subject to a disallowance of losses from the sale or
exchange of those shares to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends received
by the shareholder with respect to the shares and if such losses are not
disallowed, they will be treated as long-term capital losses to the extent of
any distribution of long-term capital gains received by the shareholder with
respect to such shares. Because none of the Fund's net income is anticipated to
arise from dividends on common or preferred stock, none of its distributions to
shareholders will be eligible for the dividends received deduction for
corporations under the Internal Revenue Code. Shareholders will be notified
annually by the Fund as to the federal tax status of distributions made by the
Fund.

     Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued by a shareholder, whether a
corporation or an individual, to purchase or carry shares of the Fund is not
deductible. Exempt-interest dividends attributable to interest on certain
"private activity" tax-exempt obligations are a preference item for computing
the alternative minimum tax for both individuals and corporations. Moreover,
exempt-interest dividends attributable to interest on tax-exempt obligations,
whether or not private activity bonds, that are received by corporations will be
taken into account (i) in determining the alternative minimum tax imposed on 75%
of the excess of adjusted current earnings over alternative minimum taxable
income and (ii) in determining the foreign branch profits


                                      B-15
<PAGE>


tax imposed on the effectively connected earnings and profits (with adjustments)
of United States branches of foreign corporations. Entities or persons who are
"substantial users" (or related persons) of facilities financed by private
activity bonds should consult their tax advisers before purchasing shares of the
Fund.

     The Fund may be subject to state or local tax in certain other states where
it is deemed to be doing business. Further, in those states which have income
tax laws, the tax treatment of the Fund may differ from federal tax treatment.
The exemption of interest income for federal income tax purposes may not result
in similar exemption under the laws of a particular state or local taxing
authority. The Fund will report annually to its shareholders the percentage and
source on a state-by-state basis, of interest income on Municipal Bonds received
by the Fund during the preceding year.

     Under the laws of certain states, distributions of net income may be
taxable to shareholders as income even though a portion of such distributions
may be derived from interest on U.S. Government obligations which, if realized
directly, would be exempt from state income taxes. Shareholders are advised to
consult their tax advisers concerning the application of state and local taxes.


                              CALCULATION OF YIELD

     The Fund will prepare a current quotation of yield daily. The yield quoted
will be the simple annualized yield for an identified seven calendar day period.
The yield calculation will be based on a hypothetical account having a balance
of exactly one share at the beginning of the seven-day period. The base period
return will be the change in the value of the hypothetical account during the
seven-day period, including dividends declared on any shares purchased with
dividends on the shares, but excluding any capital changes, divided by the value
of the account at the beginning of the base period. The yield will vary as
interest rates and other conditions affecting money market instruments change.
Yield also depends on the quality, length of maturity and type of instruments in
the Fund's portfolio, and its operating expenses. The Fund also may prepare an
effective annual yield computed by compounding the unannualized seven-day period
return as follows: by adding 1 to the unannualized seven-day period return,
raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from the
result.

     Effective yield = [(base period return + 1)365/7]-1

     The Fund may also calculate the tax equivalent yield over a 7-day period.
The tax equivalent yield will be determined by first computing the current yield
as discussed above. The Fund will then determine what portion of the yield is
attributable to securities, the income of which is exempt for federal income tax
purposes. This portion of the yield will then be divided by one minus 39.6% (the
assumed maximum tax rate for individual taxpayers not subject to Alternative
Minimum Tax) and then added to the portion of the yield that is attributable to
other securities.

     The yield and effective yield for the Fund based on the 7 days ended
December 31, 1999 were 3.48% and 3.54%, respectively. The tax equivalent yield
for the Fund based on the 7 days ended December 31, 1999 was 3.68%.

     The Fund's yield fluctuates, and an annualized yield quotation is not a
representation by the Fund as to what an investment in the Fund will actually
yield for any given period. Actual yields will depend upon not only changes in
interest rates generally during the period in which the investment in a Fund is
held, but also in changes in the Fund's expenses. Yield does not take into
account any federal or state income taxes.

     ADVERTISING. Advertising materials for the Fund may include biographical
information relating to its portfolio manager(s), and may include or refer to
commentary by the Fund's manager(s) concerning investment style, investment
discipline, asset growth, current or past business experience, business
capabilities, political, economic or financial conditions and other matters of
general interest to investors. Advertising materials for the Fund also may
include mention of The Prudential Insurance Company of America, its affiliates
and subsidiaries, and reference the assets, products and services of those
entities.

     From time to time, advertising materials for the Fund may include
information concerning retirement and investing for retirement, may refer to the
appropriate number of Fund shareholders and Lipper rankings or Morningstar
ratings, other related analysis supporting those ratings, other industry
publications, business periodicals and market indices. In addition, advertising
materials may reference studies or analyses performed by the Manager or its
affiliates. Advertising materials for sector funds, funds that focus on market
capitalizations, index funds and international/global funds may discuss the
potential benefits and risks of that investment style. Advertising materials for
fixed income funds may discuss the benefits and risks of investing in the bond
markets, including discussions of credit quality, duration and maturity.

Notes to Financial Statements               PRUDENTIAL TAX-FREE MONEY FUND, INC.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prudential Tax-Free Money Fund, Inc. (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 to attain the highest level of
current income that is exempt from federal income taxes, consistent with
liquidity and preservation of capital. The Fund will invest in short-term
tax-exempt debt securities of state and local governments. The ability of the
issuers of the securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be
affected by economic or political developments in a specific state, industry or
region.

- ------------------------------------------------------------
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: Portfolio securities 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 any discount or premium.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments
are calculated on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an
accrual basis. The cost of portfolio securities for federal income tax purposes
is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes. Expenses are
recorded on the accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by
management.
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 net investment income to its
shareholders. For this reason, no federal income tax provision is required.
Dividends: The Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and net
realized gains, if any. Payment of dividends is made monthly.
Custody Fee Credits: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank,
whereby uninvested monies earn credits which reduce the fees charged by the
custodian.
Note 2. Agreements
The Fund has a management agreement with Prudential Investments Fund Management
LLC ('PIFM'). Pursuant to this agreement, PIFM has responsibility for all
investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser's performance of such
services. PIFM has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential
Investment Corporation ('PIC'); PIC furnishes investment advisory services in
connection with the management of the Fund. PIFM pays for the cost of the
subadviser's services, 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 PIFM is computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual
rate of .50 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $750 million,
 .425 of 1% of the next $750 million of average daily net assets and .375 of 1%
of average daily net assets in excess of $1.5 billion.
The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management
Services LLC ('PIMS'). The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing
the Fund's shares pursuant to the plan of distribution at an annual rate of .125
of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The distribution fee is accrued
daily and payable monthly.
PIFM, PIC and PIMS are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of The Prudential
Insurance Company of America.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Note 3. Other Transactions With Affiliates
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC ('PMFS'), a wholly owned subsidiary of PIFM,
serves as the Fund's transfer agent and during the year ended December 31, 1999,
the Fund incurred fees of approximately $144,800 for the services of PMFS. As of
December 31, 1999, approximately $10,800 of such fees were due to PMFS. Transfer
agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain
out-of-pocket expenses paid to nonaffiliates.

Report of Independent Accountants           PRUDENTIAL TAX-FREE MONEY FUND, INC.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Prudential Tax-Free Money Fund, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Prudential Tax-Free Money Fund,
Inc. (the 'Fund') at December 31, 1999, the results of its operations for the
year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as 'financial statements') are the responsibility of the
Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

                                    APPENDIX


                             DESCRIPTION OF RATINGS

CORPORATE AND TAX-EXEMPT BOND RATINGS

     The four highest ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") for
tax-exempt and corporate bonds are Aaa, Aa, A and Baa. Bonds rated Aaa are
judged to be of the "best quality." The rating of Aa is assigned to bonds which
are of "high quality by all standards," but as to which margins of protection or
other elements make long-term risks appear somewhat larger than Aaa rated bonds.
The Aaa and Aa rated bonds comprise what are generally known as "high grade
bonds." Bonds which are rated A by Moody's possess many favorable investment
attributes and are considered "upper medium grade obligations." Factors giving
security to principal and interest of A rated bonds are considered adequate, but
elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in
the future. Bonds rated Baa are considered as "medium grade" obligations. They
are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal
security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be
lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time.
Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have
speculative characteristics as well. Moody's applies numerical modifiers "1",
"2", and "3" in each generic rating classification from Aa through B in its
corporate bond rating system. The modifier "1" indicates that the security ranks
in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier "2" indicates a
mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates that the issue ranks in the
lower end of its generic rating category. The foregoing ratings for tax-exempt
bonds are sometimes presented in parentheses preceded with a "con" indicating
the bonds are rated conditionally. Bonds for which the security depends upon the
completion of some act or the fulfillment of some condition are rated
conditionally. These are bonds secured by (a) earnings of projects under
construction, (b) earnings of projects unseasoned in operation experience, (c)
rentals which begin when facilities are completed or (d) payments to which some
other limiting condition attaches. Such parenthetical rating denotes the
probable credit stature upon completion of construction or elimination of the
basis of the condition.

     The four highest ratings of Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("Standard &
Poor's") for tax-exempt and corporate bonds are AAA, AA, A and BBB. Bonds rated
AAA bear the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's to a debt obligation
and indicate an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Bonds
rated AA also qualify as high-quality debt obligations. Capacity to pay
principal and interest is very strong, and in the majority of instances they
differ from AAA issues only in small degree. Bonds rated A have a strong
capacity to pay principal and interest, although they are somewhat more
susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic
conditions. The BBB rating, which is the lowest "investment grade" security
rating by Standard & Poor's, indicates an adequate capacity to pay principal and
interest. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse
economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in this category than
for bonds in the A category. The foregoing ratings are sometimes followed by a
"p" indicating that the rating is provisional. A provisional rating assumes the
successful completion of the project being financed by the bonds being rated and
indicates that payment of debt service requirements is largely and entirely
dependent upon the successful and timely completion of the project. This rating,
however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to completion of the
project, makes no comment on the likelihood of, or the risk of default upon
failure of, such completion.

TAX-EXEMPT NOTE RATINGS

     The ratings of Moody's for tax-exempt notes are MIG 1, MIG 2, MIG 3 and MIG
4. Notes bearing the designation MIG 1 are judged to be of the best quality,
enjoying strong protection from established cash flows of funds for their
servicing or from established and broad-based access to the market for
refinancing, or both. Notes bearing the designation MIG 2 are judged to be of
high quality, with margins of protection ample although not so large as in the
preceding group. Notes bearing the designation MIG 3 are judged to be of
favorable quality, with all security elements accounted for but lacking the
undeniable strength of the preceding grades. Market access for refinancing, in
particular, is likely to be less well established. Notes bearing the designation
MIG 4 are judged to be of adequate quality, carrying specific risk but having
protection commonly regarded as required of an investment security and not
distinctly or predominantly speculative.

     The ratings of Standard & Poor's for municipal notes issued on or after
July 29, 1984 are "SP-1", "SP-2" and "SP-3." Prior to July 29, 1984, municipal
notes carried the same symbols as municipal bonds. The designation "SP-1"
indicates a very strong capacity to pay principal and interest. A "+" is added
for those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics. An
"SP-2" designation indicates a satisfactory capacity to pay principal and
interest while an "SP-3" designation indicates speculative capacity to pay
principal and interest.

CORPORATE AND TAX-EXEMPT COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

     Moody's and Standard & Poor's rating grades for commercial paper, set forth
below, are applied to Municipal Commercial Paper as well as taxable commercial
paper.

     Moody's Commercial Paper ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to
repay punctually promissory obligations not having an original maturity in
excess of nine months. Moody's employs the following three designations, all
judged to be investment grade, to indicate the relative repayment capacity of
rated issuers: Prime-1, superior capacity; Prime-2, strong capacity; and
Prime-3, acceptable capacity.

     Standard & Poor's commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the
likelihood of timely payment of debt having an original maturity of no more than
365 days. Ratings are graded into four categories, ranging from "A" for the
highest quality obligations to "D" for the lowest. Issues assigned A ratings are
regarded as having the greatest capacity for timely payment. Issues in this
category are further refined with the designation 1, 2 or 3 to indicate the
relative degree of safety. The "A-1" designation indicates the degree of safety
regarding timely payment is very strong. A "+" designation is applied to those
issues rated "A-1" which possess an overwhelming degree of safety. The "A-2"
designation indicates that capacity for timely payment is strong. However, the
relative degree of safety is not as overwhelming as for issues designated "A-1."
The "A-3" designation indicates that the capacity for timely payment is
satisfactory. Such issues, however, are somewhat more vulnerable to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher
designations. Issues rated "B" are regarded as having only an adequate capacity
for timely payment and such capacity may be impaired by changing conditions or
short-term adversities.

ITEM 24. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT.

     None.

ITEM 25. INDEMNIFICATION.

     As permitted by Section 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) and pursuant to Article VII of the Fund's
Articles of Incorporation (Exhibit (a) to the Registration Statement), officers,
directors, employees and agents of the Registrant will not be liable to the
Registrant, any stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent or other person
for any action or failure to act, except for bad faith, willful misfeasance,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and those individuals may be
indemnified against liabilities in connection with the Registrant, subject to
the same exceptions, as provided by Article VII of the By-Laws (Exhibit (b) to
the Registration Statement). Section 2-418 of Maryland General Corporation Law
permits indemnification of directors who acted in good faith and reasonably
believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the Registrant. As
permitted by Section 17(i) of the 1940 Act, pursuant to Section 10 of the
Distribution Agreement (Exhibit (e)(iii) to the Registration Statement), each
Distributor of the Registrant may be indemnified against liabilities which it
may incur, except liabilities arising from bad faith, gross negligence, willful
misfeasance or reckless disregard of duties.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (Securities Act) may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 1940 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the 1940 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

     The Registrant maintains an insurance policy insuring its officers and
directors against liabilities, and certain costs of defending claims against
such officers and directors, to the extent such officers and directors are not
found to have committed conduct constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of their duties. The
insurance policy also insures the Registrant against the cost of indemnification
payments to officers and directors under certain circumstances.

     Section 9 of the Management Agreement (Exhibit (d)(i) to the Registration
Statement) and Section 4 of the Subadvisory Agreement (Exhibit 5(d)(ii) to the
Registration Statement) limit the liability of Prudential Investments Fund
Management LLC (PIFM) and The Prudential Investment Corporation (PIC),
respectively, to liabilities arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of their respective duties or from reckless
disregard by them of their respective obligations and duties under the
agreements.

     The Registrant hereby undertakes that it will apply the indemnification
provisions of its By-Laws and each Distribution Agreement in a manner consistent
with Release No. 11330 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1940
Act so long as the interpretation of Section 17(h) and 17(i) of such Act remains
in effect and is consistently applied.
