Restatement of Capital Share Account
Prudential Europe Growth Fund, Inc. accounts and reports for
distributions to shareholders in accordance with the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
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 of applying this statement was to increase
distributions in excess of net investment income by
$2,331,507, decrease accumulated net realized gain on
investments and foreign currency transactions by $9,623,713,
and increase paid-in capital by $7,292,206
due to the Fund experiencing a net investment loss, realized
foreign currency gains and for redemptions utilized as
distributions for federal income tax purposes during the
year ended April 30, 1999. Net investment income, net
realized gains and net assets were not affected by this
change.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Prudential Europe Growth Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Prudential Europe Growth Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund") for the year ended April 30, 1999, 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 April 30, 1999.
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.
