Letter to Shareholders

October 18, 1994

Dear Shareholder:

It has been a most difficult year in the U.S. financial markets.  When we 
last wrote in February interest rates were starting to rise, ending a 
three-year long bull market in bonds. What started as a trickle has 
become a torrent.  Interest rates have continued to increase this year, 
sending bond prices down sharply.  Of course, as interest rates rise, 
bond prices decline.  In this environment of falling prices and unusual 
volatility, your Prudential California Municipal Fund -- California Series 
sought to minimize risk while maximizing your tax-free income.

The California Series seeks maximum current income exempt from state and 
federal income taxes* consistent with preservation of capital.  The Series 
is comprised of investment grade municipal obligations.  The Series 
performed in line with the Lipper California Municipal Debt Average 
over the last year, but because long-term interest rates rose, total 
returns were disappointing.  As a result, the Series has become more 
cautious and shortened its average maturity.

account sales charges.

2 Source: Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc.  These averages take 
into account applicable sales charges.  The Series charges a maximum 
initial sales charge of 3% for Class A shares.  Class B shares are subject 
to a declining contingent deferred sales charge of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1% and 1%, 
respectively, for the first six years.  Class B shares will automatically 
convert to Class A shares approximately seven years after purchase.  This 
conversion feature is expected to be implemented in February 1995.  Class 
C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% during 
the first year. 

**Inception on January 22, 1990 for Class A, September 19, 1984 for Class 
B and August 1, 1994 for Class C.

***These are the average returns of 86 California municipal debt funds 
for one-year, five-year, and since inception of Class B shares, as determined 
by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.

Note:  Without expense subsidies and management fee waivers, the Series' 
historical and average annual total returns would have been slightly lower.

Once Was Not Enough

When we wrote to you in February, the Federal Reserve raised short-term 
interest rates for the first time in years, hoping to control inflation.  
Since then, the Fed has moved four more times, until the Federal funds rate 
(the overnight interbank lending rate) now stands at 4.75%, up from 3% at 
the start of the year.  The Fed also increased the discount rate (at which 
it lends banks money) to 4% from 3% over the same period.

Interest rates rise when the financial markets fear inflation, the bond 
holder's enemy. Inflation is feared because it robs purchasing power from 
a bond's fixed-interest rate.

Municipal bond interest rates increased by nearly a percentage point, to 
6.46% on August 25 from 5.52% on December 29, 1993, as measured by the 
Bond Buyer's Revenue Bond Index, a widely used yardstick of interest rates 
in the tax-free market.

California: Recovering Slowly

After losing 660,000 jobs in three and a half years, California seems to be 
recovering from its worst recession since the Great Depression.  Yet 
employment growth is still minimal, particularly in the southern portion 
of the state.  And defense cutbacks, while decelerating, are still being 
felt.  The California 

                                    -2-

<PAGE>

Department of Finance projects that defense employment, which lost 
50,000 jobs in 1993 (a 17% reduction), will drop another 14% this 
year and 10% in 1995.

Positive economic growth in California is still slow. The June 1994 
unemployment rate was 8.3%, the second highest in the nation, and fiscally, 
the state is also in a bind.  Unable to reduce its expenditures to match its 
economic performance, California now has a $2.3 billion deficit, likely to 
approach $6 billion in two years if nothing is done.  This year's budget was 
balanced only by short-term borrowing, for which the state will probably 
have to borrow again to repay.  As a result, California has the second-lowest 
bond rating in the country.

The long-term outlook is more favorable.  As the state continues to 
pull itself out of recession, revenues should increase.  This growth, 
plus a more realistic state budget, will ultimately help the state move 
forward.

Because of the state government's financial condition, we have generally 
avoided its general obligation and state public works bonds for most of 
this year.  We will continue to do so until its fiscal position improves 
or until yields more accurately reflect the present state of affairs.

A Tax Reminder

As a result of the Federal Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993, which 
affects bonds purchased after April 30, 1993,  it is possible that this 
year you may have some taxable income from your tax-free municipal bond 
fund.  The law stipulates that the portion of any gain realized on the 
sale or retirement of a tax-free bond which is purchased at a market 
discount from its face value must be taxed as ordinary income.

Following this change in federal tax law, some discount bonds have 
been selling at levels so cheap they will produce a higher after-tax 
return than other bonds not subject to the provisions of the new law.  
We have occasionally taken advantage of this market imbalance because 
we have determined that at very low prices these bonds can still provide 
you with a higher after-tax return on your investment.

The Outlook

We expect volatility in the municipal bond market until the economy 
reaches a level of growth that is sustainable without causing 
inflation.  If the economy continues to surge, the ever vigilant 
Fed will move again, boosting short-term rates.  If the economy 
slows substantially, long term rates should stabilize.  Although 
rates may keep rising, we believe that most of the increase is 
now behind us.

In the months ahead, we expect supply -- or the lack of it -- to 
become more important in the tax-free municipal bond market.  Through 
the first 

                                 -3-

eight months of the year, new issue volume is off 42%, according 
to Securities Data Co., which tracks this statistic.  The pace is 
accelerating.  In August, new issue volume fell 56%.  

As always, it is a pleasure to have you as a shareholder in the 
Prudential California Municipal Fund -- California Series, and to 
take this opportunity to report our activities to you.


Sincerely,

Lawrence C. McQuade

 PRUDENTIAL CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FUND
 CALIFORNIA SERIES
 Notes to Financial Statements
   Prudential California Municipal Fund (the ``Fund'') is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The Fund was
organized as a Massachusetts business trust on May 18, 1984 and consists of
three series. The monies of each series are invested in separate, independently
managed portfolios. The California Series (the ``Series'') commenced investment
operations on September 19, 1984. The Series is diversified and seeks to achieve
its investment objective of obtaining the maximum amount of income exempt from
federal and California state income taxes with the minimum of risk by investing
in ``investment grade'' tax-exempt securities whose ratings are within the four
highest ratings categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization or, if not rated, are of comparable quality. The ability of the
issuers of the securities held by the Series to meet their obligations may be
affected by economic developments in a specific state, industry or region.
                              
Note 1. Accounting            The following is a summary
Policies                      of significant accounting poli-
                              cies followed by the Fund, and the Series, in
preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuations: The Series values municipal securities (including
commitments to purchase such securities on a ``when-issued'' basis) on the basis
of prices provided by a pricing service which uses information with respect to
transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in
comparable securities and various relationships between securities in
determining values. If market quotations are not readily available from such
pricing service, a security is valued at its fair value as determined under
procedures established by the Trustees.
   Short-term securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current
market quotations. Short-term securities which mature in 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost.
   All securities are valued as of 4:15 P.M., New York time.
Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement to
purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of debt securities at a set
price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures
contract, the Series is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash
and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This
amount is known as the ``initial margin''. Subsequent payments, known as
``variation margin'', are made or received by the Series each day, depending on
the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation
margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as
unrealized gain or loss. The Series invests in financial futures contracts
solely for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or
securities the Series intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused
by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Should interest rates move
unexpectedly, the Series may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the
financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures
transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the
price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are
calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis. The Series amortizes premiums and original issue discount paid on
purchases of portfolio securities as adjustments to interest income.
   Net investment income (other than distribution fees) and realized and
unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based
upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the
day.
Federal Income Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each series in the Fund
is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is the intent of the Series to
continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net income to
shareholders. For this reason and because substantially all of the Series' gross
income consists of tax-exempt interest, no federal income tax provision is
required.
Dividends and Distributions: The Series declares daily dividends from net
investment income. Payment of dividends is made monthly. Distributions of net
capital gains, if any, are made annually.
   Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.

Note 2. Agreements            The Fund has a management
                              agreement with Prudential Mutual Fund Management,
Inc. (``PMF''). Pursuant to this agreement, PMF has responsibility for all
investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser's performance of such
services. PMF has entered into a subadvisory agreement with The Prudential
Investment Corporation (``PIC''); PIC furnishes investment advisory services in
connection with the management of the Fund. PMF 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 PMF is computed daily and payable monthly, at an
annual rate of .50 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Series.
   The Fund has distribution agreements with Prudential Mutual Fund
Distributors, Inc. (``PMFD''), which acts as the distributor of the Class A
shares of the Fund, and with Prudential Securities Incorporated (``PSI''), which
acts as distributor of the Class B and Class C shares of the Fund (collectively
the ``Distributors''). The Fund compensates the Distributors for distributing
and servicing the Fund's Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans
of distribution, (the ``Class A, B and C Plans'') (regardless of expenses
actually incurred by them). The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable
monthly.
   On July 19, 1994, shareholders of the Fund approved amendments to the Class A
and Class B distribution plans under which the distribution plans became
compensation plans, effective August 1, 1994. Prior thereto, the distribution
plans were reimbursement plans, under which PMFD and PSI were reimbursed for
expenses actually incurred by them up to the amount permitted under the Class A
and Class B Plans, respectively. The Fund is not obligated to pay any prior or
future excess distribution costs (costs incurred by the Distributors in excess
of distribution fees paid by the Fund or contingent deferred sales charges
received by the Distributors). The rate of the distribution fees charged to
Class A and Class B shares of the Fund did not change under the amended plans of
distribution. The Fund began offering Class C shares on August 1, 1994.
   Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates the Distributors
for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, .50 of
1% and 1%, of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares,
respectively. Such expenses under the Plans were .10 of 1%, .50 of 1% and .75 of
1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively,
for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994.
   PMFD has advised the Series that it has received approximately $126,600 in
front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the fiscal
year ended August 31, 1994. From these fees, PMFD paid such sales charges to PSI
and Pruco Securities Corporation, affiliated broker-dealers, which in turn paid
commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.
   PSI has advised the Series that for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994, it
received approximately $390,800 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed
upon certain redemptions by Class B shareholders.
   PMFD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMF; PSI, PMF and PIC are indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Prudential Insurance Company of America.
                              
Note 3. Other                 Prudential Mutual Fund Ser-
Transactions                  vices, Inc. (``PMFS''), a 
with Affiliates               wholly-owned subsidiary of 
                              PMF, serves as the Fund's transfer agent. During
the year ended August 31, 1994, the Series incurred fees of approximately
$71,000 for the services of PMFS. As of August 31, 1994, approximately $6,000 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 non-affiliates.
                              
Note 4. Portfolio             Purchases and sales of port-
Securities                    folio securities of the Series, 
                              excluding short-term investments, for the year
ended August 31, 1994 were $143,010,257 and $159,964,525, respectively.
   At August 31, 1994, the Series sold 62 financial futures contracts on U.S.
Treasury Bonds which expire in September 1994. The value at disposition of such
contracts was $6,357,281. The value of such contracts on August 31, 1994 was
$6,430,563, thereby resulting in an unrealized loss of $73,282.
   The cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes was
substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes and, accordingly, at
August 31, 1994 net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal income
tax purposes was $8,865,434 (gross unrealized appreciation--$11,023,414; gross
unrealized depreciation--$2,157,980).
   The Series utilized its capital loss carryforward of approximately $1,216,000
to offset taxable gains realized and recognized subsequent to August 31, 1993.
In addition, the Series will elect to treat net capital losses of approximately
$4,629,000 incurred in the ten month period ended August 31, 1994 as having been
incurred in the following year.

Note 5. Capital          The Series currently offers
                         Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares are
sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 3.0%. Class B shares are sold with a
contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 5% to zero depending on the
period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold with a contingent
deferred sales charge of 1% during the first year. Class B shares will
automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven
years after purchase commencing on or about February 1995.
   The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest
for each class at $.01 par value per share.
   Transactions in shares of beneficial interest for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Prudential California Municipal Fund, California Series
   We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Prudential California Municipal Fund, California Series, including the portfolio
of investments, as of August 31, 1994, the related statements of operations for
the year then ended and of changes in 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. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits.
   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned as of
August 31, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies
were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
   In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prudential
California Municipal Fund, California Series, as of August 31, 1994, the results
of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial highlights
for the respective stated periods, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                         FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
   We are required by the Internal Revenue Code to advise you within 60 days of
the Series' fiscal year end (August 31, 1994) as to the federal tax status of
dividends and distributions paid by the Series during such fiscal year.
Accordingly, we are advising you that in the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994,
dividends paid from net investment income of $.65 per Class A share, $.60 per
Class B share and $.04 per Class C shares were all federally tax-exempt interest
dividends. In addition, the Series paid to both Class A and B shares a long-term
capital gain distribution of $0.12 per share which is taxable as such.
   In January 1995, you will be advised on IRS Form 1099 DIV or substitute 1099
DIV as to the federal tax status of the distributions received by you in
calendar year 1994.

   These graphs are furnished to you in accordance with SEC regulations. They
compare a $10,000 investment in Prudential California Municipal Fund: California
Series (Class A, Class B, and Class C) with a similar investment in the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the Index) by portraying the initial account
values at the commencement of operations of each class and subsequent account
values at the end of each fiscal year (August 31) beginning in 1990 for Class A,
in 1984 for Class B shares and 1994 for Class C shares. For purposes of the
graphs and, unless otherwise indicated, the accompanying tables, it has been
assumed that (a) the maximum sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000
investment in Class A shares; (b) the maximum applicable contingent deferred
sales charge was deducted from the value of the investment in Class B shares and
Class C shares assuming full redemption on August 31, 1994; (c) all recurring
fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (d) all dividends and
distributions were reinvested. Class B shares will automatically convert to
Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase.
This conversion feature is expected to be implemented on or about February 1995
and is not reflected in the graph. The graph and accompanying tables reflect the
past subsidy and/or waiver of expenses and/or management fees. Without fee
waivers and expense subsidies, the value of a $10,000 investment in the Series
and the Series' average annual total return, as shown above, would have been
lower.
   The Index is a weighted index comprised of 21,000 municipal bonds (general
obligation bonds, revenue bonds, insured bonds and prerefunded bonds) selected
by Lehman Brothers as representative of the long-term investment grade municipal
bond market. The Index is an unmanaged index and includes the reinvestment of
all income, but does not reflect the payment of transaction costs and advisory
fees associated with an investment in the Series. The securities which comprise
the Index may differ substantially from the securities in the Series' portfolio
because the Index, among other things, is not state specific. The Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index is not the only index which may be used to
characterize performance of long-term, investment-grade tax-exempt bond funds
and other indexes may portray different comparative performance.

Dear Shareholder:

   It has been a most difficult year in the U.S. financial markets.  When we 
last wrote in February  interest rates were starting to rise, ending a three-
year long bull market in bonds. What started as a trickle has become a torrent.
Interest rates have continued to increase this year, sending bond prices down 
sharply.  Of course, as interest rates rise, bond prices decline.  In this 
environment of falling prices and unusual volatility, your Prudential California
Municipal Fund -- California Income Series sought to minimize risk while 
maximizing your tax-free income.

   The California Income Series seeks maximum current income exempt from state 
and federal income taxes* consistent with preservation of capital.  The Series 
invests in both investment grade and lower quality municipal bonds.   The 
Series outperformed the Lipper California Municipal Debt Average over the 
last year, in part because of its holdings in non-rated real-estate related 
bonds which performed well as California's housing market emerged from its 
recession.  Still, with long-term interest rates rising this year, the 
Series has become cautious and shortened its average maturity.

2 Source: Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc.  These averages take into 
account applicable sales charges.  The Series charges a maximum initial sales 
charge of 3% for Class A shares.  Class B shares are subject to a declining 
contingent deferred sales charge of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1% 
and 1%, respectively, for the first six years.  Class B shares will 
automatically convert to Class A shares approximately seven years after 
purchase. This conversion feature is expected to be implemented in February 
1995.  Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1%
during the first year.

**Inception on December 3, 1990 for Class A, and December 7, 1993 for Class B 
and August 1, 1994 for Class C.

***These are the average returns of 86 California municipal debt funds for one-
year, five-year, and since inception of Class A shares, as determined by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc.

Note:  Without expense subsidies and management fee waivers, the Series' 
historical and average annual total returns would have been lower.  The Series'
Class A, Class B and Class C average annual total return since inception would 
have been 7.8%, -6.2%, and -1.6%, respectively.

Once Was Not Enough

   When we wrote to you in February, the Federal Reserve raised short-term 
interest rates for the first time in years, hoping to control inflation.  Since
then, the Fed has moved four more times, until the federal funds rate (the 
overnight interbank lending rate) now stands at 4.75%, up from 3% at the start 
of the year.  The Fed also increased the discount rate (at which it lends banks
money) to 4% from 3% over the same period.

   Interest rates rise when the financial markets fear inflation, the bond 
holder's enemy. Inflation is feared because it robs purchasing power from a 
bond's fixed-interest rate.

   Municipal bond interest rates increased by nearly a percentage point, to 
6.46% on August 25 from 5.52% on December 29, 1993, as measured by the Bond 
Buyer's Revenue Bond Index, a widely used yardstick of interest rates in the 
tax-free market.

California: Recovering Slowly

   After losing 660,000 jobs in three and a half years, California seems to be 
recovering from its worst recession since the Great Depression.  Yet employment
growth is still minimal, particularly in the southern portion of the state.  And
defense cutbacks, while decelerating, are still being felt. The California 

                                    -2-

<PAGE>

Department of Finance projects that defense employment, which lost 50,000 jobs 
in 1993, (a 17% reduction), will drop another 14% this year and 10% in 1995.

   Economic growth in California is still slow. The June 1994 unemployment rate
was 8.3%, the second highest in the nation, and fiscally, the state is also in a
bind.  Unable to reduce its expenditures to match its economic performance, 
California now has a $2.3 billion deficit, likely to approach $6 billion in two
years if nothing is done.  This year's budget was balanced only by short-term 
borrowing, for which the state will probably have to borrow again to repay.  As 
a result, California has the second-lowest bond rating in the country.

   The long-term outlook is more favorable. As the state continues to pull 
itself out of recession, revenues should increase. This growth, plus a more 
realistic state budget, will ultimately help the state move forward.

   Because of the state government's financial condition, we have generally 
avoided its general obligation and state public works bonds for most of this 
year.  We will continue to do so until its fiscal position improves or until 
yields more accurately reflect the present state of affairs.

A Tax Reminder

   As a result of the Federal Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993, which affects 
bonds purchased after April 30, 1993, it is possible that this year you may have
some taxable income from your tax-free municipal bond fund.  The law stipulates 
that the portion of any gain realized on the sale or retirement of a tax-free 
bond purchased at a market discount to its face value must be taxed as ordinary
income.

   Following this change in federal tax law, some discount bonds have been 
selling at levels so cheap they will produce a higher after-tax return than 
other bonds not subject to the provisions of the new law. We have occasionally 
taken advantage of this market imbalance because we have determined that at very
low prices these bonds can still provide you with a higher after-tax return on 
your investment.

The Outlook

   We expect volatility in the municipal bond market until the economy reaches a
level of growth that is sustainable without causing inflation.  If the economy 
continues to surge, the ever vigilant Fed will move again, boosting short-term 
rates. If the economy slows substantially, long term rates should stabilize.  
Although rates may keep rising, we believe that most of the increase is now 
behind us.

   In the months ahead, we expect supply -- or the lack of it -- to become more
important in the tax-free municipal bond market. Through the first eight months
of the year, new issue volume is off 42%,  according to Securities Data Co., 
which tracks this statistic.  The pace is accelerating.  In August, new issue 
volume fell 56%.

                                    -3-

 PRUDENTIAL CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FUND
 CALIFORNIA INCOME SERIES
 Notes to Financial Statements
   Prudential California Municipal Fund (the ``Fund'') is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as an open-end investment company. The Fund was
organized as a Massachusetts business trust on May 18, 1984 and consists of
three series. The monies of each series are invested in separate, independently
managed portfolios. The California Income Series (the ``Series'') commenced
investment operations on December 3, 1990. The Series is non-diversified and
seeks to achieve its investment objective of obtaining the maximum amount of
income exempt from federal and California state income taxes with the minimum of
risk by investing primarily in ``investment grade'' tax-exempt securities whose
ratings are within the four highest ratings categories by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization or, if not rated, are of comparable
quality but may also invest in lower-quality tax-exempt securities. The ability
of the issuers of the securities held by the Series to meet their obligations
may be affected by economic developments in a specific state, industry or
region.

Note 1. Accounting            The following is a summary
Policies                      of significant accounting poli-
                              cies followed by the Fund, and the Series, in
preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuations: The Series values municipal securities (including
commitments to purchase such securities on a ``when-issued'' basis) on the basis
of prices provided by a pricing service which uses information with respect to
transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in
comparable securities and various relationships between securities in
determining values. If market quotations are not readily available from such
pricing service, a security is valued at its fair value as determined under
procedures established by the Trustees.
   Short-term securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current
market quotations. Short-term securities which mature in 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost.
   All securities are valued as of 4:15 P.M., New York time.

Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement to
purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed upon amount of debt securities at a
set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures
contract, the Series is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash
and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This
amount is known as the ``initial margin''. Subsequent payments, known as
``variation margin'', are made or received by the Series each day, depending on
the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation
margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as
unrealized gain or loss. The Series invests in financial futures contracts
solely for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or
securities the Series intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused
by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Should interest rates move
unexpectedly, the Series may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the
financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures
transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the
price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securites are
calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis. The Series amortizes premiums and original issue discount paid on
purchases of portfolio securities as adjustments to interest income.
   Net investment income (other than distribution fees) and unrealized and
realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon
the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.

Federal Income Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each series in the Fund
is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is the intent of the Series to
continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net income to
shareholders. For this reason and because substantially all of the Series' gross
income consists of tax-exempt interest, no federal income tax provision is
required.

Dividends and Distributions: The Series declares daily dividends from net
investment income. Payment of dividends are made monthly. Distributions of net
capital gains, if any, are made annually.
   Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.
                                      -11-

Deferred Organization Expenses: The Series incurred approximately $36,000 in
organization and initial registration expenses. Such amount has been deferred
and is being amortized over a period of 60 months ending December 1995.

Note 2. Agreements            The Fund has a management
                              agreement with Prudential Mutual Fund Management,
Inc. (``PMF''). Pursuant to this agreement, PMF has responsibility for all
investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser's performance of such
services. PMF has entered into a subadvisory agreement with The Prudential
Investment Corporation (``PIC''); PIC furnishes investment advisory services in
connection with the management of the Fund. PMF 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 PMF is computed daily and payable monthly, at an
annual rate of .50 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Series. PMF
voluntarily waived 100% of its management fee during the three months ended
November 30, 1993. Effective December 1, 1993, PMF reduced its voluntary waiver
to 75% of its management fee. The amount of such fees waived for the year ended
August 31, 1994 amounted to $822,628 ($.039 per Class A share, $.029 per Class B
share, $.003 per Class C share; .41% of average net assets).
   The Fund has distribution agreements with Prudential Mutual Fund
Distributors, Inc. (``PMFD''), which acts as the distributor of the Class A
shares of the Fund, and with Prudential Securities Incorporated (``PSI''), which
acts as distributor of the Class B and Class C shares of the Fund (collectively
the ``Distributors''). The Fund compensates the Distributors for distributing
and servicing the Fund's Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans
of distribution, (the ``Class A, B and C Plans'') regardless of expenses
actually incurred by them. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable
monthly.
   On July 19, 1994, shareholders of the Fund approved amendments to the Class A
and Class B distribution plans under which the distribution plans became
compensation plans, effective August 1, 1994. Prior thereto, the distribution
plans were reimbursement plans, under which PMFD and PSI were reimbursed for
expenses actually incurred by them up to the amount permitted under the Class A
and Class B Plans, respectively. The Fund is not obligated to pay any prior or
future excess distribution costs (costs incurred by the Distributors in excess
of distribution fees paid by the Fund or contingent deferred sales charges
received by the Distributors). The rate of the distribution fees charged to
Class A and Class B shares of the Fund did not change under the amended plans of
distribution. The Fund began offering Class B and C shares on December 7, 1993
and August 1, 1994 respectively.
   Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates the Distributors
for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, .50 of
1% and 1%, of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares,
respectively. Such expenses under the Plans were .10 of 1%, .50 of 1% and .75 of
1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively,
for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994.
   PMFD has advised the Series that it has received approximately $1,114,200 in
front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the fiscal
year ended August 31, 1994. From these fees, PMFD paid such sales charges to PSI
and Pruco Securities Corporation, affiliated broker-dealers, which in turn paid
commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.
   PSI has advised the Series that for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994, it
received approximately $1,300 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon
certain redemptions by Class B shareholders.
   PMFD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMF; PSI, PMF and PIC are indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Prudential Insurance Company of America.

Note 3. Other                 Prudential Mutual Fund Ser-
Transactions                  vices, Inc. (``PMFS''), a 
with Affiliates               wholly-owned subsidiary of 
                              PMF, serves as the Fund's transfer agent. During
the year ended August 31, 1994, the Series incurred fees of approximately
$50,000 for the services of PMFS. As of August 31, 1994, approximately $4,000 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 non-affiliates.

Note 4. Portfolio             Purchases and sales of port-
Securities                    folio securities of the Series, 
                              excluding short-term investments, for the year
ended August 31, 1994 were $92,629,213 and $90,523,886, respectively.
   The cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes was
substantially the same as for financial reporting
purposes and accordingly, as of August 31, 1994 net unrealized appreciation of
investments for federal income tax purposes was $7,764,622 (gross unrealized
appreciation--$9,672,798; gross unrealized depreciation--$1,908,176).

   At August 31, 1994, the Series sold 70 financial futures contracts on U.S.
Treasury Bonds which expire in September 1994. The value at disposition of such
contracts was $703,719. The value of such contracts on August 31, 1994 was
$726,031, thereby resulting in an unrealized loss of $22,312.
   The Series will elect to treat net capital losses of approximately $2,225,000
incurred in the ten month period ended August 31, 1994 as having been incurred
in the following year.

Note 5. Capital               The Series currently offers
                              Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Class A
shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 3.0%. Class B shares are
sold with a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 5% to zero
depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold
with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% during the first year. Class B
shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis
approximately seven years after purchase commencing in or about February 1995.
   The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest
for each class at $.01 par value per share.
   Transactions in shares of beneficial interest for the year ended August 31,
1994 and the fiscal year ended August 31, 1993 were as follows:

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Prudential California Municipal Fund, California Income Series
   We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Prudential California Municipal Fund, California Income Series, including the
portfolio of investments, as of August 31, 1994, the related statements of
operations for the year then ended and of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
three years in the period then ended and for the period December 3, 1990
(commencement of investment operations) through August 31, 1991. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned as of
August 31, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies
were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
   In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prudential
California Municipal Fund, California Income Series, as of August 31, 1994, the
results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial
highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                         FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
   We are required by the Internal Revenue Code to advise you within 60 days of
the Series' fiscal year end (August 31, 1994) as to the federal tax status of
dividends and distributions paid by the Series during such fiscal year.
Accordingly, we are advising you that in the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994,
dividends paid from net investment income of $.65 per Class A share, $.41 per
Class B share and $.05 per Class C shares were all federally tax-exempt interest
dividends. In addition, the Series paid to Class A shares a long-term capital
gain distribution of $.008 per share which is taxable as such and a short-term
capital gain distribution of $.095 which is taxable as ordinary income.
   In January 1995, you will be advised on IRS Form 1099 DIV or substitute 1099
DIV as to the federal tax status of the distributions received by you in
calendar year 1994.

   These graphs are furnished to you in accordance with SEC regulations. They
compare a $10,000 investment in Prudential California Municipal Fund: California
Income Series (Class A, Class B, and Class C) with a similar investment in the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the Index) by portraying the initial
account values at the commencement of operations of each class and subsequent
account values at the end of each fiscal year (August 31) beginning in 1990 for
Class A, in 1993 for Class B shares and 1994 for Class C shares. For purposes of
the graphs and, unless otherwise indicated, the accompanying tables, it has been
assumed that (a) the maximum sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000
investment in Class A shares; (b) the maximum applicable contingent deferred
sales charge was deducted from the value of the investment in Class B shares and
Class C shares, assuming full redemption on August 31, 1994; (c) all recurring
fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (d) all dividends and
distributions were reinvested. Class B shares will automatically convert to
Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase.
This conversion feature is expected to be implemented on or about February 1995
and is not reflected in the graph. The graph and accompanying tables reflect the
past subsidy and/or waiver of expenses and/or management fees. Without fee
waivers and expense subsidies, the value of a $10,000 investment in the Series
and the Series' average annual total return, as shown above, would have been
lower.
   The Index is a weighted index comprised of 21,000 municipal bonds (general
obligation bonds, revenue bonds, insured bonds and prerefunded bonds) selected
by Lehman Brothers as representative of the long-term investment grade municipal
bond market. The Index is an unmanaged index and includes the reinvestment of
all income, but does not reflect the payment of transaction costs and advisory
fees associated with an investment in the Series. The securities which comprise
the Index may differ substantially from the securities in the Series' portfolio
because the Index, among other things, is not state specific. The Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index is not the only index which may be used to
characterize performance of long-term, investment-grade tax-exempt bond funds
and other indexes may portray different comparative performance.

Letter to Shareholders

October 18, 1994 

Dear Shareholder:

Short-term interest rates moved steadily higher during the last 12 
months, accelerating in 1994 as the Federal Reserve boosted short-term 
interest rates in hopes of preventing inflation from increasing as the 
economy began to expand rapidly.  As a result, your Prudential California 
Municipal Fund -- California Money Market Series -- produced higher yields 
than six months ago.

guaranteed by the U. S. government, and there can be no assurance that 
the Series will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 
per share.

The California Money Market Series seeks to provide the highest level 
of state and federally tax-exempt current income consistent with the 
preservation of principal and liquidity.  Interest on municipal obligations 
may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.  The Series invests 
primarily in high-quality, short-term, tax-exempt obligations issued by the 
state, municipalities and authorities.  During the year, the Series' credit 
quality remained consistently high, with 92% of its holdings rated in the 
highest category, as determined by Moody's Investors Service or Standard & 
Poor's, or if unrated, deemed to be of comparable quality by the adviser.

In 1994, Rates Rose Rapidly

Short-term taxable interest rates were relatively stable until February, 
when the Federal Reserve, concerned that the rapidly expanding economy 
could ignite inflation, started to increase the fed funds rate (the 
overnight interbank lending rate).  If the economy grows too quickly, 
shortages develop and consumers and businesses bid up the prices of 
materials and labor.

The Municipal Market Is Different

While the fed funds rate spiked 175 basis points (100 basis points is 
one percentage point), the yields of tax-free securities did not increase 
by a similar margin. Although this rising interest rate activity in the 
taxable market 

                                     -1-

<PAGE>

does affect the tax-free market, the impact generally lags. The 
short-term municipal market is also more influenced by seasonal 
supply and demand factors than taxable Treasury bills.

Rising rates in the taxable market can be followed by higher yields 
in the tax-free market.  Anticipating the Fed would raise interest 
rates in February, we maintained a shorter weighted average maturity 
so that we could take advantage of higher rates as they became available.  
Once the Fed moved, we selectively extended the maturity of the portfolio. 
Generally, our weighted average maturity was shorter than that of our peers. 

California's Economy is Recovering

California seems to be recovering from its worst recession since the Great 
Depression.  Although defense cutbacks are decelerating, the effects are 
still being felt, so overall employment growth remains slow, particularly 
in the southern portion of the state. The California Department of 
Finance projects that the defense industry, which lost 50,000 jobs 
in 1993 (a 17% reduction), will drop another 14% this year and 10% 
in 1995.

Economic growth in California is still slow. The June 1994 unemployment 
rate was 8.3%, the second highest in the nation and, fiscally, the state 
is also in a bind.  Unable to reduce its expenditures to match its 
economic performance, California now has a $2.3 billion deficit, 
likely to approach $6 billion in two years if nothing is done.  
This year's budget was balanced only by short-term borrowing, for 
which the state will probably have to borrow again to repay.   As a 
result, California has the second-lowest bond rating in the country.

The long-term outlook is more favorable.  As the state continues to 
pull itself out of recession, revenues should increase.  This growth, 
plus a more realistic state budget, will ultimately help the state move 
forward.

The Outlook:  Rates May Rise Again

After its August rate increase, the Fed paused to assess its actions.  
With the Fed ready to move swiftly should price growth inch up above 3%, 
we suspect inflation will remain under control.  In this environment, we 
expect short-term rates to climb moderately higher, which should have a 
corresponding effect on your Series' yield.

 PRUDENTIAL CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FUND
 CALIFORNIA MONEY MARKET SERIES
 Notes to Financial Statements
   Prudential California Municipal Fund (the ``Fund'') is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as an open-end investment company. The Fund was
organized as a Massachusetts business trust on May 18, 1984 and consists of
three series. The monies of each series are invested in separate, independently
managed portfolios. The California Money Market Series (the ``Series'')
commenced investment operations on March 3, 1989. The Series is diversified and
seeks to achieve its investment objective of obtaining the maximum amount of
income exempt from California state and federal income taxes with the minimum
risk by investing in ``investment grade'' tax-exempt securities having a
maturity of thirteen months or less whose ratings are within the two highest
ratings categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization
or, if not rated, are of comparable quality. The ability of the issuers of the
securities held by the Series to meet their obligations may be affected by
economic developments in a specific state, industry or region.
                              
Note 1. Accounting            The following is a summary
Policies                      of significant accounting poli-
                              cies followed by the Fund, and the Series, in the
preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuations: Portfolio securities of the Series are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method of
valuation 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.
   All securities are valued as of 4:30 P.M., New York time.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments
are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis.
Federal Income Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each series in the Fund
is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is the intent of the Series to
continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to continue to distribute all of its net
income to shareholders. For this reason and because substantially all of the
Series' gross income consists of tax-exempt interest, no federal income tax
provision is required.
Dividends: The Series declares daily dividends from net investment income.
Payment of dividends is made monthly.
   Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.
Deferred Organization Expenses: The Series incurred $46,000 in organization and
initial registration expenses. Such amount was deferred and amortized over a
period of 60 months ended March 1994.
                              
Note 2. Agreements            The Fund has a management
                              agreement with Prudential Mutual Fund Management,
Inc. (``PMF''). Pursuant to this agreement PMF has responsibility for all
investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser's performance of such
services. PMF has entered into a subadvisory agreement with The Prudential
Investment Corporation (``PIC''); PIC furnishes investment advisory services in
connection with the management of the Fund. PMF 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 PMF is computed daily and payable monthly, at the
annual rate of .50 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Series.
   The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Mutual Fund
Distributors, Inc. (``PMFD''). To reimburse PMFD for its expenses incurred
pursuant to a plan of distribution, the Fund pays PMFD a reimbursement, accrued
daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .125 of 1% of the Series'
average daily net assets. PMFD pays various broker-dealers, including Prudential
Securities Incorporated (``PSI'') and Pruco Securities Corporation, affiliated
broker-dealers, for account servicing fees and other expenses incurred by such
broker-dealers.
   PMFD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMF; PSI, PIC, and PMF are (indirect)
wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Prudential Insurance Company of America.
                              
Note 3. Other                 Prudential Mutual Fund Ser-
Transactions                  vices, Inc. (``PMFS''), a 
with Affiliates               wholly-owned subsidiary of 
                              PMF, serves as the Fund's transfer agent. During
the year ended August 31, 1994, the Series incurred fees of approximately
$122,000 for the services of PMFS. As of August 31, 1994, approximately $10,000
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 non-affiliates.
