EXHIBIT 77J
Reclassification of Capital Accounts: The Prudential
Pacific Growth
Fund, Inc. accounts for and reports distributions to
shareholders in
accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountant's
Statement of Position 93-2: Determination, Disclosure, and
Financial
Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return
of Capital
Distributions by Investment Companies. The effect caused by
applying
this statement was to increase undistributed net investment
income by
$4,904,357, decrease paid-in-capital in excess of par by
$4,593 and
decrease accumulated net realized gains by $4,899,764 for
differences
in the treatment for book and tax purposes of certain
transactions
involving foreign securities, currencies and withholding
taxes. Net
investment income, net realized gains and net assets were
not affected
by this change.
Independent Accountants
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Prudential Pacific Growth Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Prudential Pacific Growth Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund") for the year ended October 31, 1998, we considered
its internal control, including control activities for
safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements and to comply with the requirements of
Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs
of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an
audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing
financial statements for external purposes that are fairly
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of
assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors
or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of
any evaluation of internal control to future periods is
subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the
design and operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in internal control that might be
material weaknesses under standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control components
does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would
be material in relation to the financial statements being
audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period
by employees in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving
internal control and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the
information and use of management, the Board
of Directors of the Fund and the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
