Dear Shareholder:

We hope you find the annual report for the Dryden National Municipals Fund informative and useful. As a JennisonDryden mutual fund shareholder, you may be thinking about where you can find additional growth opportunities. You could invest in last year’s top-performing asset class and hope that history repeats itself or you could stay in cash while waiting for the “right moment” to invest.

Instead, we believe it is better to take advantage of developing domestic and global investment opportunities through a diversified portfolio of stock and bond mutual funds. A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages. It helps you manage downside risk by not being overly exposed to any particular asset class, plus it gives you a better opportunity to have at least some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include mutual funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and tolerance for risk. Keep in mind that diversification and asset allocation do not assure against loss in declining markets.

JennisonDryden Mutual Funds gives you a wide range of choices that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds offer the experience, resources, and professional discipline of four leading asset managers. They are recognized and respected in the institutional market and by discerning investors for excellence in their respective strategies. JennisonDryden equity funds are advised by Jennison Associates LLC, Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA), or PREI^® (Prudential Real Estate Investors). Prudential Investment Management, Inc.

Strategy and Performance Overview

How did the Fund perform?

The Dryden National Municipals Fund’s Class A shares returned 2.66% for the 12 months ended August 31, 2008, underperforming the 4.48% return of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the Index) but outperforming the 1.92% return of the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Average.

How is the Fund managed?

The Fund is managed by Prudential Fixed Income Management, which employs a team-based approach in which research plays a crucial role. Senior investment professionals develop a quarterly market outlook that provides an overall view on the economy, interest rates, risk levels in the major bond markets, and yield curves in the major bond markets. A yield curve is a single-line graph that depicts yields on bonds of the same credit quality from the shortest to the longest maturities.

The quarterly market outlook helps set broad investment strategies for the Fund, which invests primarily in municipal bonds rated investment grade and unrated municipal bonds that Prudential Fixed Income Management believes are comparable in quality. The Fund can also invest up to 15% of its investable assets in municipal bonds of below-investment-grade quality, though its exposure is usually far less than this amount. The Fund selects debt securities from a variety of municipal market sectors and from every geographic region of the United States in order to spread risk. In deciding which bonds to buy and sell, portfolio managers work closely with a team of five credit research analysts, four of whom have more than 15 years of experience analyzing tax-exempt debt securities.

What were conditions like in the municipal bond market?

The tax-exempt bond arena faced challenges of historic proportions as a crisis in credit markets in the United States spread to financial markets around the world. Early in the reporting period, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) tried to prevent a rising tide of delinquencies and foreclosures on subprime mortgages from engulfing the broader U.S. economy. The Fed reduced its target for the federal funds rate charged on overnight loans between banks to 4.75% from 5.25% in September 2007. It hoped that lower borrowing costs would encourage companies to continue to expand their businesses and consumers to spend freely for goods and services. Initially, the rate cut buoyed financial markets, helping municipal bonds post a considerable gain for that month.

However, it became increasingly clear that more aggressive, inventive measures were needed to support the economy and ease stresses in the credit markets. Wall Street investment banks and commercial banks were forced to write down billions of dollars of debt securities linked to subprime mortgages. MBIA Inc., Ambac Financial Group

Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc. 5

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)

Inc., and other firms that insure about half of all outstanding municipal bonds faced huge potential losses from guaranteeing subprime mortgage-related debt securities. Commercial banks were reluctant to lend money to each other, businesses, and consumers. The U.S. economy shed thousands of jobs, housing prices continued to fall, and the inventory of houses for sale climbed.

A concerned Fed acted decisively. It repeatedly eased monetary policy, pushing down its target for the federal funds rate to 2.00%. In addition, the Fed allowed Wall Street investment banks to borrow money from its discount window on much the same terms as commercial banks. It also helped facilitate JP Morgan Chase & Co.’s hurried acquisition of Bear Stearns Cos. at a deep discount before the latter slid into bankruptcy.

As the credit crisis worsened, investors continued to seek safe haven in U.S. Treasury securities, which are rated AAA because the federal government backs their interest and principal payments. This flight to quality enabled the Treasury market to substantially outperform the municipal bond market, which had to contend with the failure of its auction-rate securities arena. Rates on these debt securities that financed student loans, hospital projects, and other endeavors were reset at auctions held every week or so. A lack of bidders for these debt securities, many of which were backed by municipal bond insurers, caused the majority of auctions to fail in early 2008 and the market for these securities collapsed.

How did the municipal bond market sectors perform?

A flight to quality also played out within the tax-exempt market as debt securities rated investment grade dramatically outperformed debt securities rated below investment grade. General obligation bonds also beat revenue bonds. States, local governments, and other issuers with the power to tax can sell general obligation bonds and use their general revenues to pay interest and principal on their debt securities. In contrast, interest and principal on revenue bonds are only paid from revenues derived from a specific source or project. Among revenue bonds, the only sector that posted a decline for the 12-month period was corporate-backed municipal bonds, which are issued to finance projects such as pollution control facilities. The housing sector posted a marginally positive total return. Healthcare, education, and other revenue bond sectors posted modest, positive total returns for the reporting period.

How did the Fund’s yield curve strategy affect its performance?

The Fund was positioned to take advantage of changes in the slope of the municipal bond yield curve, which became much steeper during the reporting period. As the

6 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

Fed repeatedly cut short-term rates, yields on shorter-term municipal bonds declined sharply because they are more sensitive to changes in monetary policy, while long-term municipal bond yields moved higher. Since bond prices move inversely to yields, shorter-term municipal bond prices increased, but long-term municipal bond prices fell. Anticipating these developments, Prudential Fixed Income Management employed a “yield curve steepener” strategy emphasizing the shorter end of the municipal bond yield curve. This benefited the Fund’s performance.

How did the Fund’s allocation strategy affect its performance?

Key aspects of the Fund’s allocation strategy hurt its performance relative to the Index. Most notably, the Fund underperformed the Index because it had a smaller exposure than the Index to general obligation bonds, which performed well in the risk averse environment. The Fund holds fewer of these debt securities because they typically pay less interest income than revenue bonds. This approach is in keeping with the Fund’s objective to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes. Selectively investing in municipal bonds rated below investment grade that provide attractive interest income is also in keeping with the Fund’s objective. However, the poor performance of bonds in the below-investment-grade rating categories detracted from the Fund’s return for the reporting period. The Index consists entirely of bonds rated investment grade.

The Fund had a larger exposure than the Index to healthcare bonds, which lagged the broader municipal bond market as the sector absorbed a flood of new long-term bonds during the reporting period. Some healthcare issuers that could no longer raise money via auction rate securities began to finance their projects by selling long-term municipal bonds. Despite this weakness, Prudential Fixed Income Management continues to favor the sector from the perspective of credit quality and has confidence in the Fund’s healthcare holdings.

The Fund also had a larger exposure than the Index to the corporate-backed sector via municipal bonds backed by Waste Management, Inc. and TXU Energy Co., two of the largest corporate issuers in the tax-exempt market. In addition to pressure from the flight to quality, this sector faced concern that corporate profitability will continue to suffer as a weak job market and soaring prices for energy and food slow consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of economic activity in the United States. Having an overweight position in corporate-backed municipal bonds was a negative for the Fund.

Did the Fund hold municipal bonds that were pressured most by the credit crisis?

The Fund had an indirect exposure to subprime mortgages by holding bonds of municipal entities whose proceeds were used to purchase natural gas on a long-term

Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc. 7

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)

basis for customers of municipal utilities. This allows the utilities to arrange a dependable supply of natural gas at favorable prices. Ratings of these natural gas prepayment bonds are typically based on the lowest rating of any of the participants in the transaction, which historically was based on the company that provides a performance guarantee for the natural gas supplier. In the majority of cases, this company is a Wall Street brokerage firm.

Concern about Wall Street’s massive losses on subprime mortgage-related securities had a negative impact on natural gas prepayment bonds. For example, the Fund owned Tennessee Energy Acquisition Corp. gas project revenue bonds that were downgraded to A2 from Aa3 by Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) during the reporting period. The rating action occurred because Moody’s lowered to A2 from Aa3 the rating of MBIA, which insures certain non-rated municipal participants in the project. Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (S&P) rates the bonds AA-minus based on the project’s gas supplier, which is guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., currently the lowest rated participant.

How did the Fund’s sizeable exposure to insured bonds affect its performance?

The ratings of municipal bond insurers such as MBIA, Ambac, Financial Security Assurance, Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, and Syncora Guarantee Inc. (formerly XL Capital Assurance Inc.) came under pressure, albeit some more than others. This occurred as municipal bond insurers are also involved to varying degrees in providing guarantees on securities linked to subprime mortgages. Bond insurers apply such rigorous underwriting standards to municipal bonds that they do not expect to suffer any losses on them. Therefore, when a bond insurer’s rating was downgraded below that of the municipal bond it guaranteed, the price of that debt security adjusted to reflect its underlying rating. Such was the case with some insured municipal bonds held by the Fund.

What else had a significant impact on the Fund?

The Fund benefited when some of the bonds it held became pre-refunded. The maturity of pre-refunded bonds is shortened when an issuer takes advantage of a decline in yields by issuing new bonds at lower interest rates. Proceeds of the new bonds are used to purchase special federal government securities held in an escrow account. Cash flow from these securities pays interest on the pre-refunded bonds until a predetermined date when the bonds are retired prior to their original maturity. This process may reduce the issuer’s costs, and the pre-refunded bonds often become rated triple-A. In the risk-averse environment, pre-refunded bonds performed better than the broader municipal bond market.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on March 1, 2008, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended August 31, 2008. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before

Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc. 9

Fees and Expenses (continued)

expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Fund expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 184 days in the six-month period ended August 31, 2008, and divided by the 366 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Notes to Financial Statements

Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes by investing substantially all of its total assets in carefully selected long-term municipal bonds of medium quality. The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific state, industry or region.

Effective with the fiscal period ended August 31, 2007, the Fund’s fiscal year has changed from an annual reporting period that ends December 31 to one that ends August 31. This change should have no impact on the way the Fund is managed. Shareholders will receive future annual and semiannual reports on the new fiscal year-end schedule.

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: The Fund values municipal securities (including commitments to purchase such securities on a “when-issued” basis) as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities in determining values. Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) in consultation with the subadvisor, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided, by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Futures contracts and options thereon traded on an exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid

price in the absence of an asked price. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available or for which the pricing service does not provide a valuation methodology, or does not present fair value, are valued at fair value in accordance with Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include, the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of valuation.

Short-term debt securities 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 debt securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotations.

Interest Rate Swaps: The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps. In a simple interest rate swap, one investor pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, an investor may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. Net interest payments/receipts are included in interest income in the Statement of Operations.

During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by “marking-to-market” to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, the Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. The Fund is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the other party to the interest rate swap. However, the Fund does not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.

Floating-Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held: The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities (“inverse floaters”) that pay interest at a rate that varies inversely with short-term interest rates. Certain of these securities may be leveraged, whereby the interest rate varies inversely at a multiple of the change in short-term rates. As interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income. The price of such securities is more volatile than comparable fixed rate securities.

When the Fund enters into agreements to create inverse floaters and floater note securities (also known as Tender Option Bond Transactions), the Fund transfers a fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time the Fund buys (receives) a residual interest in a trust (the “trust”) set up by the broker, often referred to as an inverse floating rate obligation (inverse floaters). Generally, the broker deposits a fixed rate bond (the “fixed rate bond”) into the trust with the same CUSIP number as the fixed rate bond sold to the broker by the Fund. The “trust” also issues floating rate notes (“floating rate notes”), which are sold to third parties. The floating rate notes have interest rates that reset weekly. The inverse floater held by the Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the fixed rate bond held by the trust to the Fund thereby collapsing the trust. In accordance with FAS Statement No. 140, the Fund accounts for the transaction described above as funded leverage by including the fixed rate bond in its Portfolio of Investments, and accounts for the floating rate notes as a liability under the caption “payable for floating rate notes issued” in the Fund’s “Statement of Assets and Liabilities.” Interest expense related to the Fund’s liability in connection with the floating rate notes held by third parties is recorded as incurred. The interest expense is under the caption “interest expenses and fees related to inverse floaters” in the Fund’s “Statement of Operations” and is also included in the Fund’s expense ratio.

The Fund may also invest in inverse floaters without transferring a fixed rate bond into a trust, which is not accounted for as funded leverage. The interest rates on these securities have an inverse relationship to the interest rate of other securities or the value of an index. Changes in interest rates on the other security or index inversely affect the rate paid on the inverse floater, and the inverse floater’s price will be more volatile than that of a fixed-rate bond. Additionally, some of these securities contain a “leverage factor” whereby the interest rate moves inversely by a “factor” to the benchmark rate. Certain interest rate movements and other market factors can substantially affect the liquidity of inverse floating rate notes.

The Fund’s investment policies and restrictions permit investments in inverse floating rate securities. Inverse floaters held by the Fund are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.

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 Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Fund 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.

Financial future contracts and swap contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Restricted Securities: The Fund may hold up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities held by the Fund at the end of the period may include registration rights under which the Fund may demand registration by the issuer, of which the Fund may bear the cost of such registration. Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by management. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts on purchases of debt securities as adjustments to interest income.

Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc. 43

Notes to Financial Statements

continued

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to respective class) 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.

Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, it is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund declares daily dividends from net investment income. Payment of dividends is made monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.

Custody Fee Credits: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby uninvested monies earn credits which reduce the fees charged by the custodian. Such custody fee credits are presented as a reduction of gross expenses in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Agreements

The Fund has a management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”). Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisor’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). The subadvisory agreement provides that PIM will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of

44 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

PIM, the cost of 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 to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to and including $250 million, .475% of the next $250 million, .45% of the next $500 million, .425% of the next $250 million, .40% of the next $250 million and .375% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. The effective management fee rate was .48 of 1% for the year ended August 31, 2008.

The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, B, C and Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS 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 it. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Fund.

Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS 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. For the year ended August 31, 2008, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25 of 1% and .75 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

PIMS has advised the Fund that it received approximately $86,100 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares, during the year ended August 31, 2008. From these fees, PIMS paid a substantial portion of such sales charges to dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

PlMS has advised the Fund that for the year ended August 31, 2008, it received approximately $1,200, $39,300 and $500 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

PI, PIM and PIMS are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with two banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is incurred at contracted market rates and a commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Effective October 24, 2008, the Funds

Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc. 45

renewed the SCA with the banks. The commitment under the renewed SCA continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .13 of 1% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 23, 2009. For the period from October 26, 2007 through October 23, 2008, the Funds paid a commitment fee of .06 of 1% of the unused portion of the agreement. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the year ended August 31, 2008.

Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. The transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

The Fund pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers, including fees relating to the services of First Clearing, LLC (“First Clearing”), an affiliate of PI. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund incurred approximately $75,400 in total networking fees, of which $38,000 was paid to First Clearing. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fee and expenses on the Statement of Operations.

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, for the year ended August 31, 2008, aggregated $310,046,966 and $366,742,667, respectively.

Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In order to present undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investment and financial futures transactions on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely

46 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investment and financial futures transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2008, the adjustments were to decrease undistributed net investment income and to increase accumulated net realized gain on investment and financial futures transactions by $309,268 due to the difference in the treatment of accreting market discount between financial and tax reporting and the differences in accounting treatment between book and tax relating to municipal tender option bond transactions. Net investment income, net realized gains or losses and net assets were not affected by this change.

For the year ended August 31, 2008, the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets were $29,523,133 from tax-exempt income and $1,071,013 from long-term capital gains, respectively. For the eight-month period ended August 31, 2007, the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets were $21,044,988 from tax-exempt income, $370,155 from taxable ordinary income and $357,647 from long-term capital gains.

As of August 31, 2008, the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis were $928,031 from tax-exempt income.

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of August 31, 2008 were as follows:

Tax Basis of Investments	Appreciation	Depreciation	Net Unrealized Appreciation
$709,594,155	$22,406,762	$19,157,325	$3,249,437

The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to differences in the treatment of accreting market discount and premium amortization and municipal tender option bond transactions for book and tax purposes.

As of August 31, 2008, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of approximately $225,000 which expires 2016. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward. It is uncertain whether the Fund will be able to realize the full benefit prior to the expiration date.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of August 31, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which

the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Note 6. Capital

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4%. All investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more are not subject to a front-end sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, if they sell these shares within 12 months of purchase, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 5% to zero depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% within 12 months from the date of purchase. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

There are 1 billion shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, authorized and divided into four classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z common stock, each of which consists of 250 million authorized shares.

Note 9. New Accounting Pronouncements

On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157 and its impact, if any, in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for any reporting period beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc. (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of August 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the year ended August 31, 2008, the eight month period ended August 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for the year ended August 31, 2008, the eight month period ended August 31, 2007 and each of years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. 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. The financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2003 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, whose report dated February 20, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 securities owned as of August 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2008, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year ended August 31, 2008, the eight month period ended August 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for the year ended August 31, 2008, the eight month period ended August 31, 2007 and each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Approval of Advisory Agreements

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) oversees the management of the Fund, and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, met on June 3-5, 2008 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2009, after concluding that renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

In advance of the meetings, the Board received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group were objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over the one-, three-, five- and ten-year time periods ending December 31, 2007, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors they deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor which was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements with respect to the Fund. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on June 3-5, 2008.

The Directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and PIM, which serves as the Fund’s subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.

Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc.

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services provided to the Fund by PI and PIM. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser for the Fund, as well as the provision of fund recordkeeping, compliance, and other services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadviser, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PI, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PI’s senior management on the performance and operations of the subadviser. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Directors of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by PIM, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadviser, as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and PIM, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PIM’s portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and PIM’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to both PI and PIM. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to both PI and PIM. The Board noted that PIM is affiliated with PI.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PIM, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and PIM under the management and subadvisory agreements.

Performance of Dryden National Municipals Fund

The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance, noting that the Fund’s gross performance in relation to its Peer Universe (the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Performance Universe) was in the second quartile over the three- and ten-year periods, although performance was in the third quartile over the one- and five-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index over the three-, five- and ten-year periods, though it underperformed its benchmark index over the one-year period. The Board

Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

concluded that, in light of the Fund’s competitive performance it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders for the Fund to renew the agreements.

Fees and Expenses

The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee (which reflects any fee waivers, subsidies or expense caps) ranked in the Expense Group’s second quartile, and that the Fund’s total expenses ranked in the Expense Group’s first quartile. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees were reasonable in light of the services provided.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of the subadviser, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, and that at its current level of assets the Fund’s effective fee rate reflected some of those rate reductions. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure currently results in benefits to Fund shareholders whether or not PI realizes any economies of scale.

Other Benefits to PI and PIM

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI and PIM and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), as well as benefits to the reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board

Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc.

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by PIM included the ability to use soft dollar credits, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to the reputation. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and PIM were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

The returns in the graph and the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

Inception date returns are provided for any share class with less than 10 years of returns.

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Dryden National Municipals Fund, Inc. (Class A shares) with a similar investment in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index by portraying the initial account values at the beginning of the 10-year period for Class A shares (August 31, 1998) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (August 31, 2008) as measured on a quarterly basis. For purposes of the graph, and unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that (a) the maximum applicable front-end sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000 investment in Class A shares; (b) all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (c) all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The line graph provides information for Class A shares only. As indicated in the tables provided earlier, performance for Class B, C, and Z shares will vary due to the differing charges and expenses applicable to each share class (as indicated in the following paragraphs). Without a distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% for Class A shares through August 31, 2008, the returns shown in the graph and for Class A shares in the tables would have been lower.

The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of over 39,000 long-term investment-grade municipal bonds. It gives a broad look at how long-term investment-grade municipal bonds have performed. The Index’s total returns include the reinvestment of all dividends, but do not include the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. The returns for the Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses, or taxes. The securities that comprise the Index may differ substantially from the securities in the Fund. This is not the only index that may be used to characterize performance of municipal bond funds. Other indexes may portray different comparative performance. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.00% and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually, and all investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, and 1%, respectively, for the first six years after purchase and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class C shares purchased are not subject to a front-end sales charge, but are subject to a CDSC of 1% for shares sold within 12 months from the date of purchase and an annual 12b-1 fee of 1%. Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge or 12b-1 fees. The returns in the graph and tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period.

(e) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

THE PRUDENTIAL MUTUAL FUNDS

AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY

on

Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Accountants

The Audit Committee of each Prudential Mutual Fund is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:

• a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided,

• a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and

• periodic meetings with the accounting firm.

Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds

On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services. Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Proposed services shall be described in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness of such services and fees, and the compatibility of the provision of such services with the auditor’s independence. The Committee shall receive periodic reports on the progress of the audit and other services which are approved by the Committee or by the Committee Chair pursuant to authority delegated in this Policy.

The categories of services enumerated under “Audit Services”, “Audit-related Services”, and “Tax Services” are intended to provide guidance to the Treasurer and the independent accountants as to those categories of services which the Committee believes are generally consistent with the independence of the independent accountants and which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would expect upon the presentation of specific proposals to pre-approve. The enumerated categories are not intended as an exclusive list of audit, audit-related or tax services, which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would consider for pre-approval.

Audit Services

The following categories of audit services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

• Annual Fund financial statement audits

• Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required)

• SEC and regulatory filings and consents

Audit-related Services

The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

• Accounting consultations

• Fund merger support services

• Agreed Upon Procedure Reports

• Attestation Reports

• Other Internal Control Reports

Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.

Tax Services

The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

• Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following:

• Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and,

• Sales and use tax compliance

• Timely RIC qualification reviews

• Tax distribution analysis and planning

• Tax authority examination services

• Tax appeals support services

• Accounting methods studies

• Fund merger support services

• Tax consulting services and related projects

Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.

Other Non-audit Services

Certain non-audit services that the independent accountants are legally permitted to render will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee or by one or more Committee members to whom the Committee has delegated this authority and who will report to the full Committee any pre-approval decisions made pursuant to this Policy. Non-audit services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.

Proscribed Services

The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:

• Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund

• Financial information systems design and implementation

• Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports

• Actuarial services

• Internal audit outsourcing services

• Management functions or human resources

• Broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services

• Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit

• Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities Within the Prudential Fund Complex

Certain non-audit services provided to Prudential Investments LLC or any of its affiliates that also provide ongoing services to the Prudential Mutual Funds will be subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The only non-audit services provided to these entities that will require pre-approval are those related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Individual projects that are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000. Services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.

Although the Audit Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to Prudential Investments LLC and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to Prudential Investments and its affiliates.

(e) (2) Percentage of services referred to in 4(b) – 4(d) that were approved by the audit committee –

One hundred percent of the services described in Item 4(d) were approved by the audit committee.
