Dear Target Shareholder:
Economies around the world began to recover in 1999 as
a global financial crisis that had roiled financial
markets in 1997 and 1998 subsided. A flight of capital
away from emerging market countries had resulted in
economic recessions and weakened currencies in many
of these nations. But in 1999, the weaker currencies
helped boost their exports and revive their economies.
Because the world economy was more stable, investors
poured money into stocks and bonds of developing
markets, and stocks in Latin America, Eastern
Europe, and Asia rose dramatically. Japanese stocks
also rallied as that nation attacked its structural,
financial, and business problems.

Note:  The average annual return for the Target Portfolios assumes
the imposition of the maximum Target advisory fee of 1.5% for
stock portfolios and 1.0% for the bond portfolios.

1 The inception date for all portfolios is 1/5/93,
except for International Bond, which is 5/17/94.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

2 Without waiver of management fees and/or expense
subsidization, the Portfolio's Average Annual Total
returns would have been lower, as indicated in
parentheses (  ).

The pickup in global economic demand boosted commodity
prices. The United States saw strong advances for
industrial cyclical stocks such as basic materials
and capital goods. Booming economies, however, often
lead to higher interest rates, so investors were
cautious about rising rates throughout the year.
Since the prices of existing bonds fall when current
yields rise, the overall return on bonds was very poor.

Growth stocks are normally interest-ratesensitive because rising
rates reduce the value of future earnings. In addition,
growth companies looking to expand may borrow from banks
or issue bonds. This year, however, a surging tech sector
provided an environment in which companies could raise
funds relatively easily by issuing stock. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index closed at a record 4,069, an 86%
gain for the year. Many technology stocks had extraordinary
returns, whether they were giant companies like Cisco Systems
and Intel or initial public offerings (IPOs) of Internet
companies with no earnings.

Although some inexpensive sectors of the U.S. stock
market--capital goods, basic materials, consumer
cyclicals, and energy--had good returns in 1999,
value stocks overall trailed growth by a very broad
margin. Increases in prices of U.S. stocks were
highly concentrated. In the Russell 3000, which
reflects all market capitalization sectors, growth
stocks returned 34% while value stocks gained only
7%. The divergences were strongest among
smaller-cap stocks--the Russell Midcap Growth Index
gained 51%; the Russell 2000 (small-cap) Growth Index

                           2
<PAGE>

rose 43%. In contrast, both small-cap value and
mid-cap value stocks declined during 1999. At the
beginning of 1999, value stocks were
already much cheaper than growth stocks, and the
sharp difference in performance over the course of
the year increased these disparities in relative value.

Geographically broad-based stock gains

The improved commodities markets and lower
production costs due to currency devaluations made
an excellent environment for the stocks of many
developing countries. In Latin America, Mexico
benefited from the increased linkage of its economy
to the developed countries to its north; its stocks
soared 82% (in U.S. dollars). Brazil also had a strong
year. Both were rebounding from severe declines in 1998.

Among developed markets, the telecommunications sector
saw considerable jockeying for position, with merger
and takeover offers common. Telecom giant Nokia led
the Nordic region to an 88% return. Developed Europe,
as a whole, trailed the global markets, but picked up
toward the end of the year. The Japanese stock market
rose 62% in U.S. dollars (in part from the rise of the
yen with respect to the U.S. dollar).

How did our funds perform?
The Large Capitalization Growth Portfolio, managed
by Columbus Circle Investors and Oak Associates,
posted a substantial 55.37% gain for the year
primarily on the strength of their
focus on technology stocks. Both managers

Target returns. Target returns are in boldface
type. Total returns assume the reinvestment of
all dividends and distributions, and take into
account all charges and expenses applicable to
an investment in each portfolio, except the annual
Target advisory fee. For retail accounts, the maximum
annual advisory fee is 1.5% of equity portfolio
assets and 1.0% of bond and money market assets.
For retirement accounts, the maximum advisory fees
are 1.25% and 1.35%, respectively. Past performance
is not indicative of future results, and an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost.

The Lipper Average is unmanaged. Large-Cap Growth funds
normally invest in companies with long-term earnings
expected to grow significantly faster than the
earnings of stocks represented in a major unmanaged
stock index. Multi-Cap Value funds seek long-term
growth of capital by investing in companies that
are considered undervalued relative to a major
unmanaged stock index based on price-to-earnings,
book value, asset value, or other factors.
Small-Cap Growth funds normally invest in
companies with long-term earnings expected
to grow significantly faster than the earnings

index. Small-Cap Value funds seek long-term growth
of capital by investing in companies that are
considered undervalued relative to a major unmanaged
stock index based on price-to-current earnings, book
value, asset value, or other factors. International
funds invest their assets in securities with primary
trading markets outside the United States. International
Income funds invest primarily in U.S. dollar and non-U.S.
dollar debt securities of issuers located in at least
three countries, excluding the United States, except
in periods of market weakness. Corporate Debt BBB-Rated
funds invest at least 65% of their assets in corporate
and government debt issues rated in the top four credit
quality grades. Intermediate Investment-Grade Debt funds invest at
least 65% of their assets in investment-grade debt issues
(rated in the top four credit quality grades) with
dollar-weighted average maturities of five to ten
years. U.S. Mortgage funds invest at least 65% of
their assets in mortgages/securities
issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest
by the U.S. government and certain federal agencies.
U.S. Government Money Market funds invest principally
in financial instruments issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities, with dollar-weighted average
maturities of less than 90 days. These money market
funds intend to keep a constant net asset value.

also had focused on financial companies, which added
strong performance in the first half
of the year, but hurt in the second half as investors
became more concerned about the possibility of rising
interest rates. Consumer cyclicals and utilities had a
positive impact early in the year, each particularly
strong for one of the Portfolio's
segments, but hurt later when investors focused
narrowly on technology stocks. Oak Associates also
has a focus on healthcare, which performed poorly
in 1999 primarily because of regulatory concerns.
However, Oak was particularly well positioned to
benefit from the strong technology gains, and its
superior performance pulled the Portfolio well above
its large-cap growth peers.

The Large Capitalization Value Portfolio, managed by
INVESCO and Hotchkis and Wiley, had a negative return primarily
because value stocks were out of favor during most of
the year. Much of the markets' gains, particularly
toward the end of the year, were in technology stocks
that already were expensive on measures of value, such
as price-to-earnings ratios. However, the Portfolio's
4.37% loss was even poor when compared with value
mutual funds. Both managers follow their value
discipline strictly--an important characteristic
for an asset allocation plan. For example, Hotchkis
and Wiley continue to have no exposure to technology
because the enthusiasm for technology stocks has left
few opportunities to buy at a value price. After this
long period of value underperformance, many other
managers have shaded their discipline so they could share in
technology gains. The Portfolio's managers took some profits
on their good performers and took advantage of the
large value discrepancies in the market to purchase
stocks that offered compelling value. INVESCO has
added financials and retailers, while Hotchkis and
Wiley expects increased demand for basic commodities
and manufactured goods.

The Small Capitalization Growth Portfolio was in the
best-performing asset class of the year, so even its
high 29.20% return trailed its
benchmark significantly. Nicholas Applegate Capital
Management and Investment Advisors, Inc. were
replaced during the year by Sawgrass Asset
Management and Fleming Asset Management USA.
Sawgrass increased the Portfolio's exposure to energy
exploration and production companies and to
the semiconductor industry. Both new managers
refocused the technology holdings and benefited
from the fourth-quarter surge in technology small
caps. However, both focus on companies with rising earnings.
In 1999, the small-cap growth market rewarded
highly speculative stocks. Stocks of the Russell
2000 companies with no earnings appreciated an
average of 85%. IPOs (initial public offerings
of stock) rose 300% to 600% from their first-day closing
prices. The Portfolio's managers prefer solid,
growing companies that have a greater chance of
surviving. In 1999, this sensible strategy actually
hurt performance.

The Small Capitalization Value Portfolio, managed by
Lazard Asset Management and Wood Struthers & Winthrop,
was operating in the most neglected group of stocks. As
small-cap investors focused narrowly on technology firms, the

                          4
<PAGE>
primary driver of small-cap value performance throughout
the year was takeover activity. Business
rivals, company managers, and suppliers or customers
were in an excellent position to appreciate and take
advantage of the bargain prices on these neglected
companies. The 1.39% return of the Small Capitalization
Value Portfolio trailed its benchmark. We suspect it is
because its competitors allowed their holdings to creep
upward in capitalization and valuations, since the
benchmark Lipper Average was well above the return
of the unmanaged Russell 2000 Value Index. Again, investment
discipline hurt in 1999, as the least expensive
stocks in price-to-earnings ratios fared poorest
and the most expensive fared best.

The International Equity Portfolio, managed by
Lazard Asset Management, returned 23.30% in 1999, as investors
regained confidence in global economic growth. However, Lazard
believed that Japanese stocks soared before there was solid
evidence of either economic recovery or genuine commitment
to needed restructuring. The Portfolio trailed its benchmark in
part because it did not have an emphasis on Japan, although
its excellent selection among Japanese stocks was a
mitigating factor. Its telecommunications stocks also
performed well. However, its focus on strong global
consumer brands and retail stocks held down performance
throughout the year because investors favored technology
and telecommunications stocks around the world. Lazard
continues to believe that the strong earnings growth of
global brands will regain market favor.

A challenging year for U.S. bonds
1999 proved to be the worst year in the history of
the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond. An investor who
purchased this Treasury bond at a 5.10% yield at
the beginning of 1999 lost more than 14% by the end of the year.
Many investors sold Treasuries, believing they no
longer needed these conservative securities because
the global financial crisis had begun to fade in the
first quarter of 1999. Later in the year, Treasuries
sold off amid fear that inflation was
building in the domestic and global economies. Rising
inflation hurts bonds by eroding the value of their
fixed- interest payments.

Concerns about mounting inflation were well founded.
Crude oil prices more than doubled in 1999, albeit from their
lowest level in more than a decade. Furthermore, the
lowest U.S. unemployment rate in 30 years fueled fears
of growing wage pressures. Consumers and businesses
spent vigorously, threatening to boost the prices of
goods and services. With the U.S.
economy growing rapidly, the Federal Reserve was
bound to increase short-term interest rates to
slow economic growth and prevent spiraling inflation.
To compensate for the risk of rising short-term rates,
investors drove prices of Treasuries lower,
which caused their yields to climb. The Treasury
market was down 2.56% in 1999, as measured by the
Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury index.

                        5
<PAGE>

In the rising interest-rate environment, other
fixed-income markets in the United States also sold off.
Their prices, however, did not decline as much
as the prices of Treasuries because investors
worried less about credit risks in 1999 than
during the global financial crisis of 1998 and
1997. As a result, spreads--or the differences
between the yields of other U.S. bond markets
and Treasuries--generally declined in 1999,
albeit with a fair amount of volatility. Among
the U.S. bond market sectors that performed
better than Treasuries in 1999 were investment-grade
corporate bonds, federal government
agency securities, high-yield (junk) bonds,
asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed
securities. Although stronger-than-expected
economic growth hurt bond markets in the United
States, emerging market bonds benefited from the
resurgence in the global economy. As measured by
the Lehman Brothers Emerging Market Index, they
returned 23.07% for the year, beating all other
fixed-income markets.

The International Bond Portfolio, managed by
Delaware International Advisors, fell 5.88% as
evidence mounted that global growth was accelerating.
The Portfolio benefited from its focus on commodity-
related countries with sound fiscal policies and
relatively cheap currencies--Australia, New Zealand,
and Canada. However, it was hurt by its
underweight in Japanese bonds, which it thought to
be poor value and at risk from an overvalued yen.
The yen continued to climb, as did Japanese bonds.
The portfolio managers continue to believe that

Japanese bonds and the yen are overvalued, and
that there are better opportunities in Australia and New Zealand.

The Total Return Bond Portfolio, managed by Pacific
Investment Management Company (PIMCO), declined
0.67% in a difficult market. Although the rare
negative years on bonds are always
very disappointing, this was a better-than-average
performance for a U.S. bond portfolio. The threat
of rising interest rates, although it hurt most
bonds, helped mortgage-backed securities because
it reduced the threat that mortgage holders would
refinance. The Portfolio was somewhat more exposed
to rising rates from the average duration of its
bonds than its benchmark, but it also had a focus
on mortgage-backed bonds and emerging market bonds,
both of which had relatively strong
returns.

The Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio, also managed
by PIMCO, returned a positive 1.30% despite its
negative environment. It did this by reducing its
exposure to interest-rate changes in the second
quarter of the year and by a focus on
mortgage-backed securities. Although the prices
of existing bonds fall when current interest
rates rise, the price of mortgage securities
often increase when interest rates go up because
fewer homeowners refinance their mortgages, and so their
interest-rate exposure is more stable. PIMCO
expects at least one additional interest-rate
increase in 2000, so they are keeping their
overall exposure to such moves at or slightly
below their benchmark.

                          6

The Mortgage Backed Securities Portfolio, managed by
Wellington Management, was in the strongest-performing
U.S. high-quality bond sector. In one of the few
fixed-income markets to eke out a positive year,
the Portfolio's 1.54% return was above the Lipper
Average for U.S. mortgage funds. Wellington made
few changes in its strategy, continuing to focus
on agency pass-throughs. These are securities that
pool the cash flows of individual mortgages and
expose the purchaser to the fluctuations in exposure to interest
rates caused by mortgage prepayments. They perform
better when the risk of prepayments is lower, i.e.,
in rising interest-rate environments.

The U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, also
managed by Wellington Management, returned 4.67%, an
above-average return for its peer group. In
anticipation of rising short-term interest
rates, Wellington decreased the Portfolio's
average maturity in the second quarter and
increased its positions in rapidly repricing
repurchase agreements. This
improved the Portfolio's tracking as the
interest rates on federal funds increased.
In the fourth quarter, Wellington reduced
its commitment to repurchase agreements and
agency securities and increased its holdings
of floating-rate notes, which
maintain its exposure to rising interest rates.

Maintaining your asset allocation
After a divergent market such as this, you may find
that the balance among your holdings has changed.
You may have a larger proportion in stocks than you are
comfortable with, or a larger proportion in growth
stocks. It is a good idea to rebalance your holdings
to restore the allocation that you decided was best
for you. Moreover, rebalancing may, over time, lead
you to buy more of asset classes when
they are cheap and sell some when they are
expensive--a sensible practice.

You should be comfortable with an allocation
that you have planned, rather than allowing
your assets to drift into a distribution that
you would not have chosen.

Our commitment to style consistency in the Target
program helps you to maintain the exposure profile
you have selected. As we mentioned in commenting on
individual portfolios, the current investment
environment, in which we have had several years of
superior performance from one style, has lured
many managers away from their disciplines. Since
such successful runs historically have always come
to an end, and these ends often come rapidly, a
diversified asset allocation is your best protection.
With Target, you can be confident that the investment
styles are as represented.

               THE TARGET PORTFOLIO TRUST
               Notes to Financial Statements

           The Target Portfolio Trust (the 'Fund') is an open-end management
           investment company. The Fund was established as a Delaware business
           trust on July 29, 1992 and consists of ten separate portfolios (the
           'Portfolio' or 'Portfolios'): Large Capitalization Growth Portfolio,
           Large Capitalization Value Portfolio, Small Capitalization Growth
           Portfolio, Small
Capitalization Value Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, International
Bond Portfolio, Total Return Bond Portfolio, Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio,
Mortgage Backed Securities Portfolio and U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio.
All the Portfolios are diversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, except for the International Bond Portfolio. Investment operations
commenced on January 5, 1993 with the exception of the International Bond
Portfolio which commenced on May 17, 1994.
      The Portfolios' investment objectives are as follows: Large Capitalization
Growth Portfolio--long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in
common stocks that, in the investment adviser's opinion, should have earnings
growth faster than that of the S&P 500; Large Capitalization Value
Portfolio--total return of capital appreciation and dividend income through
investment primarily in common stocks that, in the adviser's opinion, are
undervalued; Small Capitalization Growth Portfolio--maximum capital appreciation
through investment primarily in small company common stocks that in the
investment adviser's opinion should have earnings growth faster than that of the
U.S. economy in general; Small Capitalization Value Portfolio--above average
capital appreciation through investment in common small company stocks that, in
the adviser's opinion, are undervalued or overlooked in the marketplace;
International Equity Portfolio--capital appreciation through investment
primarily in stocks of companies domiciled outside the United States;
International Bond Portfolio--high total return through investment primarily in
high quality foreign debt securities; Total Return Bond Portfolio--total return
of current income and capital appreciation through investment primarily in
fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of more than four years but not more than fifteen years;
Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio--current income and reasonable stability of
principal through investment primarily in high quality fixed-income securities
of varying maturities with a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of more
than three years but not more than ten years; Mortgage Backed Securities
Portfolio--high current income primarily and capital appreciation secondarily
each consistent with the protection of capital through investment primarily in
mortgage-related securities; U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio--maximum
current income consistent with maintenance of liquidity and preservation of
capital through investment exclusively in short-term securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
      The ability of issuers of debt securities (other than those issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government) held by the Portfolios to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific
industry, region or country.

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 Valuations: Securities, including options, futures contracts
and options thereon, for which the primary market is on a national securities
exchange, commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale
price on such exchange or board of trade, on the date of valuation or, if there
was no sale on such day, at the average of readily available closing bid and
asked prices on such day.
      Securities, including options, that are actively traded in the
over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary
market is believed to be over-the-counter, are valued at the average of the most
recently quoted bid and asked prices provided by a principal market maker or
dealer.
      U.S. Government securities for which market quotations are available are
valued at a price provided by an independent broker/dealer or pricing service.
      Quotations of foreign securities in a foreign currency are converted to
U.S. dollar equivalents at the current rate obtained from a recognized bank or
dealer.
      Securities for which market quotations are not available, are valued in
good faith under procedures adopted by the Trustees.
      Securities held by the U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio are valued
at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term securities held
by the other portfolios which mature in sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost which approximates market value. The amortized cost method
involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter
assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the
principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term securities held by the
other portfolios which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current
market quotations.
      In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund's
policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral
securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase
transaction, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults, and the value
of the collateral declines or, if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with
respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund
may be delayed or limited.
      All securities (except those of the U.S. Government Money Market
Portfolio) are valued as of 4:15 p.m., New York time. The U.S. Government Money
Market Portfolio calculates net asset value as of 4:30 p.m., New York time.
      Securities Transactions and Net 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. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund
amortizes premiums and discounts paid on purchases of portfolio securities as
adjustments to interest income. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis which
may require the use of certain estimates by management.

      Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement
to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price
for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract,
the Portfolio 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 Portfolio each day, depending on the daily
fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is
recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or
loss. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain or loss is realized and
is presented in the statement of operations as net realized gain (loss) on
financial futures contracts.
      The Portfolio invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge its
existing portfolio securities, or securities the Portfolio intends to purchase,
against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates.
Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolio 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. The International Equity Portfolio, International Bond Portfolio,
Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio, Mortgage-Backed Securities Portfolio and Total
Return Bond Portfolio are the only portfolios that may invest in financial
futures contracts.
      Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Portfolios are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S.
dollars on the following basis:
      (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and
liabilities--at the closing rates of exchange;
      (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses--at
the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
      Although the net assets of the Portfolios are presented at the foreign
exchange rates and market values at the close of the fiscal period, the
Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a
result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising
from changes in the market prices of securities held at the end of the fiscal
period. Similarly, the Portfolios do not isolate the effect of changes in
foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market
prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the fiscal year.
Accordingly, these realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the
reported net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions.
      Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net
foreign exchange gains (losses) from sales and maturities of short-term
securities, holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized
between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the
difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign taxes recorded
on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or
paid. Net currency gains and losses from valuing foreign currency denominated
assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates are reflected as a component
of net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign
currencies.
      Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain
considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin
as a result of, among other factors, the level of governmental supervision and
regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or
economic instability.
      Foreign Currency Forward Contracts: The International Equity Portfolio,
International Bond Portfolio, Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio and Total Return
Bond Portfolio may enter into foreign currency forward contracts in order to
hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their
foreign portfolio holdings. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment
to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward
rate. The Portfolio enters into foreign currency forward contracts in order to
hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign
portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a
foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at current exchange rates and
any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or
depreciation on investments. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of
the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the
original and renegotiated forward contracts. This gain or loss, if any, is
included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Risks may
arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the
counter parties to meet the terms of their contracts.
      Options: The International Equity Portfolio, the International Bond
Portfolio, the Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio, the Total Return Bond Portfolio
and the Mortgage-Backed Securities Portfolio may either purchase or write
options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in
value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or foreign currency
exchange rates with respect to securities or currencies which the Portfolio
currently owns or intends to purchase. When the Portfolio purchases an option,
it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an
investment. When the Portfolio writes an option, it receives a premium and an
amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The investment or
liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option.
If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent
of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received
or paid is an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the
purchase in determining whether the Portfolio has realized a gain or loss. The
difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a
closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss.
Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain (loss) on
investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately
as net realized gain (loss) on written option transactions.
      The Portfolio, as writer of an option, has no control over whether the
underlying securities or currencies may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As
a result, the Portfolio bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the
price of the security or currency underlying the written option. The Portfolio,
as purchaser of an option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
      Swaps: The Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio may enter into a swap in order
to hedge against adverse movements in interest notes. A swap is an agreement
between two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals.
Based on a notional amount, each party pays an interest rate or the change in
the value of a security. Dividends and interest on the securities in the swap
are included in the value of the exchange. The swaps are valued daily at current
market value and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on investments. Gain or loss is realized on the
termination date of the swap and is equal to the difference between the
Portfolio's basis in the swap and the proceeds of the closing transaction,
including any fees. During the period that the swap agreement is open, the
Portfolio may be subject to risk from the potential inability of the
counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement.

      Dividends and Distributions: The International Bond Portfolio, Total
Return Bond Portfolio, Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio and Mortgage Backed
Securities Portfolio declare dividends of their net investment income daily and
pay such dividends monthly. The U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio declares
net investment income and any net capital gain (loss) daily and pays such
dividends monthly. Each other Portfolio declares and pays a dividend of its net
investment income, if any, at least annually. Each Portfolio except for the U.S.
Government Money Market Portfolio declares and pays its net capital gains, if
any, at least annually.
      Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.
      Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each portfolio in the Fund is
treated as a separate tax-paying entity. It is the intent of each portfolio to
continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income
to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
      Withholding taxes on foreign interest and dividends have been provided for
in accordance with the Portfolios' understanding of the applicable country's tax
rules and rates.
      Deferred Organizational Expenses: A total of $279,000 was incurred in
connection with the organization of the Fund. These costs have been deferred and
were amortized ratably over a period of sixty months from the date the Portfolio
commenced investment operations.

Note 2. Agreements
      The Fund's manager is Prudential Investments Fund Management LLC ('PIFM')
pursuant to which PIFM manages the investment operations of the Fund,
administers the Fund's affairs and is responsible for the selection, subject to
review and approval of the Trustees, of the advisers. PIFM supervises the
advisers' performance of advisery services and makes recommendations to the
Trustees as to whether the advisers' contracts should be renewed, modified or
terminated. PIFM pays for the costs pursuant to the advisery agreements, the
cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and
accounting costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.
      The advisers noted below each furnished investment advisery services in
connection with the management of the Portfolios. Effective May 28, 1999,
Sawgrass Asset Management, L.L.C. became the subadviser of the Small
Capitalization Growth Portfolio and will serve the portfolio under the same
terms and conditions as under the agreement with Nicholas-Applegate Capital
Management. Effective August 26, 1999, Fleming Asset Management USA became the
subadviser of the Small Capitalization Growth Portfolio and will serve the
portfolio under the same terms and conditions as under the agreement with
Investment Advisers, Inc. Each of the two advisers of the domestic equity
Portfolios--the Large Capitalization Growth Portfolio, Large Capitalization
Value Portfolio, Small Capitalization Growth Portfolio and Small Capitalization
Value Portfolio--manages approximately 50% of the assets of the respective
Portfolio. In general, in order to maintain an approximately equal division of
assets between the two advisers, all daily cash inflows (i.e., subscriptions and
reinvested distributions) and outflows (i.e., redemptions and expenses items)
are divided between the two advisers as PIFM deems it appropriate. In addition,
there will be a periodic rebalancing of each Portfolio's assets to take account
of market fluctuations in order to maintain the approximately equal allocation.
As a consequence, each Portfolio will allocate assets from the better performing
of the two advisers to the other.

      For federal income tax purposes, International Bond Portfolio, the Total
Return Bond Portfolio, Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio and Mortgage Backed
Securities Portfolio had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 1999.
Accordingly, no capital gain distributions are expected to be paid to
shareholders of the International Bond Portfolio, Total Return Bond Portfolio
and Mortgage Backed Securities Portfolio until future net gains have been
realized in excess of such carryforward. In addition, certain portfolios have
either partially or fully utilized prior yer caital losses and/or are electing
to treat net currency losses incurred in the two-month period ended December 31,
1999 as having been incurred in the following year.

               Report of Independent
               Accountants

The Shareholders and Trustees of
The Target Portfolio Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios 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 the Large Capitalization Growth
Portfolio, Large Capitalization Value Portfolio, Small Capitalization Growth
Portfolio, Small Capitalization Value Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio,
International Bond Portfolio, Total Return Bond Portfolio, Intermediate-Term
Bond Portfolio, Mortgage Backed Securities Portfolio and U.S. Government Money
Market Portfolio (constituting The Target Portfolio Trust, hereafter referred to
as the 'Trust') at December 31, 1999, the results of each of their operations
for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended and each of their financial highlights for
each of the three 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 Trust'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 our opinion expressed above. The accompanying financial highlights for
the two periods in the period ended December 31, 1996 were audited by other
independent accountants, whose opinion dated February 21, 1997 was unqualified.

    * For federal income tax purposes, ordinary income dividends and short-term
capital gains distributions are taxable as ordinary income. Long-term capital
gains distributions are taxable as capital gains income.

     Further, we wish to advise you that during 1999, the International Equity
Portfolio passed through a foreign tax credit of $.0439 per share.

               Important Notice For Certain
               Shareholders (unaudited)

   Many states do not tax the portion of mutual fund dividends attributed to
interest from U.S. Government obligations. Listed below is the percentage of
interest earned by the following Target portfolios from U.S. Government
obligations for the calendar year 1999.

   To determine the amount of your dividends which may be exempt from state and
local tax, simply multiply the amount in Box 1 of your 1099-Div (Ordinary
Dividends) by the percentage listed below. These percentages do not apply to
taxable capital gain distributions paid by the portfolios.

   The International Equity Portfolio has elected to give the benefit of foreign
tax credit to its shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders who must report their
gross income dividends and distributions in a federal income tax return will be
entitled to a foreign tax credit, or an itemized deduction in computing their
U.S. income tax liability. It is generally more advantageous to claim rather
than take a deduction. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 the
International Equity Portfolio intends on passing through $.0439 of ordinary
income distributions as a foreign tax credit.

this information on your tax return. If you have any questions concerning the
