Dear Shareholder:

On the following pages, you’ll find your Fund’s semiannual report, including a table showing fund performance over the first half of the fiscal year and for longer periods. The report also contains a listing of the Fund’s holdings at period-end. The semiannual report is an interim statement furnished between the Fund’s annual reports, which include an analysis of Fund performance over the fiscal year in addition to other data.

Mutual fund prices and returns will rise or fall over time, and asset managers tend to have periods when they perform better or worse than their long-term average. The best measures of a mutual fund’s quality are its return compared to that of similar investments and the variability of its return over the long term. We recommend that you review your portfolio regularly with your financial professional.

Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Dryden Active Allocation Fund

Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. An investor may obtain performance data as of the most recent month-end by visiting our website at www.jennisondryden.com or by calling (800) 225-1852.

The cumulative total returns do not reflect the deduction of applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total returns performance quoted. Class A and Class L shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5%, 1%, 1%, 6%, and 6%, respectively. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. Class L shares are closed to most new purchasers (with the exception of exchanges from the same class of shares offered by certain other JennisonDryden Funds).

Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.

¹Inception date returns are provided for any share class with less than 10 calendar years of returns. The Since Inception returns for the Customized Blend Index, Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, S&P 500 Index, and the Lipper Average are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date.

²The Customized Blend Index is made up of the S&P 500 Index (57.5%), the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40.0%), and the T-Bill 3-Month Blend (2.5%).

³The Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of investment-grade securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, and by corporations with between one and 10 years remaining to maturity on the securities. It gives a broad look at how short- and intermediate-term bonds have performed.

⁴The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed.

⁵The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds category for the periods

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

noted. Funds in the Lipper Average are funds whose primary objective is to conserve principal by maintaining at all times a balanced portfolio of both stocks and bonds. Typically, the stock:bond ratio ranges around 60%:40%.

⁶The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R, and Class X shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 0.50%, 1.00%, 0.75%, and 1.00%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

**Customized Blend Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 16.68% for Class R; and 0.25% for Class L, Class M, and Class X. Customized Blend Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 4.86% for Class R; and 0.25% for Class L, Class M, and Class X.

***Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 16.79% for Class R; and 7.67% for Class L, Class M, and Class X. Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 4.89% for Class R; and 7.67% for Class L, Class M, and Class X.

****S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 16.03% for Class R; and -5.08% for Class L, Class M, and Class X. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 4.68% for Class R; and -5.08% for Class L, Class M, and Class X.

*****Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 17.10% for Class R; and -2.32% for Class L, Class M, and Class X. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 4.92% for Class R; and -2.32% for Class L, Class M, and Class X.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the Customized Blend Index, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the S&P 500 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

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 October 1, 2007, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 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 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

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Dryden Active Allocation Fund 5

Fees and Expenses (continued)

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 183 days in the six-month period ended March 31, 2008, and divided by the 366 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending September 30, 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.

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Dryden Active Allocation Fund 61

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Fund was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series: Dryden Active Allocation Fund (the “Series”), Jennison Growth Fund, and Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund which are diversified funds and JennisonDryden Growth Allocation Fund, JennisonDryden Moderate Allocation Fund and JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund which are non-diversified funds. These financial statements relate to Dryden Active Allocation Fund. The financial statements of the other series are not presented herein. The Series commenced investment operations on November 7, 1996.

The Series’ investment objective is to seek income and long-term growth of capital by investing in a portfolio of equity, fixed-income and money market securities which is actively managed to capitalize on opportunities created by perceived misvaluation.

Note 1. Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund and the Series, in the preparation of its financial statements.

Securities Valuation: 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 traded via Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price (“NOCP”) on the day of valuation, or if there was no NOCP, at the last sale 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 subadviser, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Options on securities and indices traded on an exchange are valued at their last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange or, if there was no sale, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange. Futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities 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 commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange or board of

62 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Director’s 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 the capitalization of 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 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 securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotations.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Series 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 current rate 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 Series are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the fiscal year, the Series does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Dryden Active Allocation Fund 63

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at fiscal year end. Similarly, the Series does 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 or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at year-end exchange rates are reflected as a component of 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 possibility of political and economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

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 Series is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Series each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. 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 or loss on financial futures transactions.

The Series invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Series intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or market conditions. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Series may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the

64 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

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

Forward Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The Series enters into forward currency 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 forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the trade date and settlement value. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Short Sales: The Series may make short sales of securities as a method of hedging potential price declines in similar securities owned. The Series may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Series makes a short sale, it will borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale as collateral for its obligation to deliver the security upon conclusion of the sale. The Series may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular securities and may be obligated to return any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities.

A gain, limited to the price at which the Series sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price is less or greater than the proceeds originally received, respectively, and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on short sales.

Swaps: The Series may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Series enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Series with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest and may involve payment/receipt of a premium at the time of initiation of the swap agreement. The Series’ swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Dryden Active Allocation Fund 65

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Series will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. The swaps are valued daily at current market value and any unrealized gain or loss is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gain or loss is realized on the termination date of the swap and is equal to the difference between the Series’ cost basis in the swap and the proceeds of the closing transaction, including any fees.

During the period that the swap agreement is open, the Series may be subject to risk from the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement.

Risk: Forward currency contracts, written options, financial futures contracts, and swap agreements involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Lower rated or unrated securities are more likely to react to developments affecting market risk (general market liquidity) and credit risk (an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations) than are more highly rated securities, which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Series to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or region.

Dollar Rolls: The Series may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Series sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Series forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Series’ policy is to record the components of dollar rolls as purchase and sale transactions. The Series had dollar rolls outstanding as of March 31, 2008, which are included in Receivable for Investments Sold and Payable for Investments Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Series maintains a segregated account of U.S. government securities or other liquid assets, the dollar value of which is at least equal to its obligation with respect to dollar rolls.

The Series is subject to the risk that the market value of the securities the Series is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price.

66 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

Securities Lending: The Series may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal, at all times, to the market value of the securities loaned. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Series. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Series has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Series recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Series also continues to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognizes any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities: Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after trade date; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. At the time a Portfolio enters into such transactions, it instructs the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments 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 an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Net Investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to the 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.

Dividends and Distributions: The Series expects to pay dividends of net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, 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.

Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Series in the Fund is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is the Series’ policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Dryden Active Allocation Fund 67

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

distribute all of its net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.

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 for the Series with 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 furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI pays for the services of PIM, the compensation of officers of the Series, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Series. The Series bears all other costs and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .65 of 1% of the Series’ daily average net assets up to $1 billion and .60 of 1% of the average net assets of the Series in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .65 of 1% for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

Effective, March 23, 2007, PI has contractually agreed to waive up to .02% of the Series’ management fee on an annualized basis until March 31, 2008, to the extent the Series’ net operating expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest, distribution (12b-1) fees and certain extraordinary expenses, exceed .86%.

The Series has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R, Class X and Class Z shares of the Series. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R and Class X shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the

68 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

“Class A, B, C, L, M, R and X Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. 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 Series.

Pursuant to the Class A, B, C, L, M, R and X Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1%, 1%, .50 of 1%, 1%, .75 of 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, L, M, R and X shares, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .50% of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares. For the period ended January 31, 2008, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares.

PIMS has advised the Series that it received approximately $45,100 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2008. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

PIMS has advised the Series that for the six months ended March 31, 2008, it received approximately $30,800, $1,700, $26,000 and $4,000 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class B, Class C, Class M and Class X shareholders, respectively.

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

The Series, 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 26, 2007, the Funds renewed the SCA with the banks. The commitment under the renewed SCA continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .06 of 1% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 24, 2008. For the period from October 27, 2006 through October 26, 2007, the Funds paid a commitment fee of .07 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 Series did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the six months ended March 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. Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

The Series pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers, including fees relating to the services of First Clearing, LLC (“First Clearing”), affiliates of PI. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Series incurred approximately $57,800 in total networking fees, of which approximately $28,400 was paid to First Clearing. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

PIM is the securities lending agent for the Series. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, PIM has been compensated by the Series approximately $90,000 for these services.

The Series invests in the Taxable Money Market Series and Short-Term Bond Series (the “Portfolios”), portfolios of Dryden Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Portfolios are a money market mutual fund and short term bond fund, respectively, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

Purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments and U.S. Government Securities, for the six months ended March 31, 2008 were $249,241,699 and $260,791,840 respectively.

The amount of dollar rolls outstanding at March 31, 2008 was $24,508,752 (principal $24,000,000), which was 4.0% of total net assets.

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-dividends date.

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

Tax Basis of Investments	Appreciation	(Depreciation)	Net Unrealized Appreciation
$701,065,880	$53,463,717	$(38,639,321)	$14,824,396

The difference between book basis and tax basis was attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.

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 March 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 Series offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R, Class X and Class Z shares. Class A and Class L shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively. All investors who purchase Class A or Class L 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 on the period of time the shares are held. Class M and Class X shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 6% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares have a CDSC of 1% during the first 12 months. 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 qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class M shares will automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase. Class L shares are closed to most new purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends). Class L and Class M

Note 7. New Accounting Pronouncements

On September 20, 2006, the 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 fiscal years 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.

OBJECTIVE

Long-term growth of capital

This report is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

The views expressed in this report and information about the Fund’s portfolio holdings are for the period covered by this report and are subject to change thereafter.

The accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2008, were not audited and, accordingly, no auditor’s opinion is expressed on them.

May 15, 2008

Dear Shareholder:

On the following pages, you’ll find your Fund’s semiannual report, including a table showing fund performance over the first half of the fiscal year and for longer periods. The report also contains a listing of the Fund’s holdings at period-end. The semiannual report is an interim statement furnished between the Fund’s annual reports, which include an analysis of Fund performance over the fiscal year in addition to other data.

Mutual fund prices and returns will rise or fall over time, and asset managers tend to have periods when they perform better or worse than their long-term average. The best measures of a mutual fund’s quality are its return compared to that of similar investments and the variability of its return over the long term. We recommend that you review your portfolio regularly with your financial professional.

Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Jennison Growth Fund

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Jennison Growth Fund 1

Your Fund’s Performance

Fund objective

The investment objective of the Jennison Growth Fund is long-term growth of capital. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. An investor may obtain performance data as of the most recent month-end by visiting our website at www.jennisondryden.com or by calling (800) 225-1852. The maximum initial sales charge is 5.50% (Class A shares). Gross operating expenses: Class A, 1.08%; Class B, 1.80%; Class C, 1.80%; Class R, 1.55%; Class Z, 0.80%. Net operating expenses apply to: Class A, 1.06%; Class B, 1.80%; Class C, 1.80%; Class R, 1.30%; Class Z, 0.80%, after contractual reduction through 1/31/2008 for Class A shares and 1/31/2009 for Class R shares.

The cumulative total returns do not reflect the deduction of applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total returns performance quoted. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B and Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge.

Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.

¹Inception date returns are provided for any share class with less than 10 calendar years of returns.

²The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index comprising those securities in the Russell 1000 Index with a greater-than-average growth orientation. Companies in this index tend to exhibit relatively high price-to-book ratios, price-to-earnings ratios, forecasted growth rates, and relatively low dividend yields.

³The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed.

⁴The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Large-cap growth funds typically have an above-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared with the S&P 500 Index.

⁵The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, and 0.75%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

**Russell 1000 Growth Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 15.31% for Class R. Russell 1000 Growth Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 4.48% for Class R.

***S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 16.03% for Class R. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 4.68% for Class R.

****Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 13.60% for Class R. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 3.93% for Class R.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the S&P 500 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

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 October 1, 2007, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 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 Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Jennison Growth Fund 5

Fees and Expenses (continued)

the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before 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 183 days in the six-month period ended March 31, 2008, and divided by the 366 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending September 30, 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.

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Jennison Growth Fund 15

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series: Jennison Growth Fund (the “Series”), Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund and Dryden Active Allocation Fund which are diversified funds and JennisonDryden Growth Allocation Fund, JennisonDryden Moderate Allocation Fund and JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund which are non-diversified funds. These financial statements relate to the Jennison Growth Fund. The financial statements of the other series are not presented herein. The Series commenced investment operations on November 2, 1995.

The Series’ investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital. The Series seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in equity securities (common stock, preferred stock and securities convertible into common stock) of established companies with above-average growth prospects.

Note 1. Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series in the preparation of its financial statements.

Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange 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 traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price (“NOCP”) on the day of valuation, or if there was no NOCP, at the last sale 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 subadviser; to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been effected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Series’ normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the 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

16 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

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 the capitalization of 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. As of March 31, 2008, there were no securities valued in accordance with such procedures.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the 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.

Securities Lending: The Series may lend its portfolio securities to qualified institutions. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal, at all times, to the market value of the securities loaned. The Series may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The Series receives compensation, net of any rebate, for lending its securities in the form of interest or dividends on the collateral received on the securities loaned, and any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Series 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 current rates of exchange;

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses-at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Series are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the fiscal period, the Series does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Jennison Growth Fund 17

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the fiscal period. Similarly, the Series does 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 period. Accordingly, these realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on 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 possibility of political and economic instability and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis.

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class), realized and unrealized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day. The Company’s expenses are allocated to the respective Series on the basis of relative net assets except for expenses that are charged directly to the Series level.

Dividends and Distributions: The Series expects to pay dividends of net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions of net realized capital and currency

gains, if any, annually. Dividends and distributions, 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.

Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Series in the Company is treated as a separate tax-paying entity. It is the Series’ 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 shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.

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 Company has a management agreement for the Series with 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 Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). The subadvisory agreement provides that Jennison furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In the connection therewith, Jennison is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI pays for the services of Jennison, the cost of compensation of officers and employees of the Series, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Series. The Series bears all other costs and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .600 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets up to $300 million, .575 of 1% of the next $2.7 billion and .550 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets in excess of $3 billion. The effective management fee rate was .58 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

The Series has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares of the Series. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing

and servicing the Series’ Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C and R Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. 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 Series.

Pursuant to the Class A, B, C and R Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1%, 1% and .75 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C and R shares, respectively. PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares through January 31, 2008 and .50 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares.

PIMS has advised the Series that it received approximately $177,800 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2008. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to affiliated broker/dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

PIMS has advised the Series that for the six months ended March 31, 2008, it received approximately $800, $90,200 and $2,200 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class A, Class B and C shareholders, respectively.

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

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 Series’ transfer agent. Transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

The Series pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers, including fees relating to the services of First Clearing, LLC (“First Clearing”) and Wachovia Securities, LLC (“Wachovia”), affiliates of PI. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Series incurred approximately $830,900

20 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

in total networking fees, of which $177,900 was paid to First Clearing. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Series’ security lending agent. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, PIM has been compensated approximately $512,900 for these services.

The Series invests in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “Portfolio”), a portfolio of the Dryden Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The portfolio is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended March 31, 2008 were $1,214,189,272 and $1,397,123,471, respectively.

Note 5. Tax Information

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

Tax Basis	Appreciation	Depreciation	Net Unrealized Appreciation
$2,457,119,537	$576,610,402	$(109,121,685)	$467,488,717

The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.

For federal income tax purposes, the Series had a capital loss carryforward as of September 30, 2007 of approximately $1,363,266,000 of which $467,648,000 expires in 2010, $827,428,000 expires in 2011 and $68,190,000 expires in 2012. In addition, the Series utilized approximately $245,932,000 of its prior year capital loss carryforward to offset net taxable gains realized in the fiscal six months ended March 31, 2008. Accordingly, no capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such amounts. The Series has elected to treat post-October currency losses of approximately $53,000 incurred in the eleven months ended September 30, 2007 as having been incurred in the next fiscal year.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of March 31, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’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 Series offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%. Investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are not subject to an initial sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are subject to a CDSC of 5%, which decreases by 1% annually to 1% in the fifth and sixth years and 0% in the seventh year. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1% for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class B shares 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 qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class R and 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 6.25 billion shares of $.001 par value common stock of the Company authorized which are divided into six series. There are 1.25 billion shares authorized for the Series. Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares each consist of 208,333,333 million authorized shares. The Series also may offer Class I shares, of which 208,333,333 million shares are authorized, but none are currently issued and outstanding. As of March 31, 2008, Prudential Investments Fund Management LLC owned 193 shares of Class R shares of the Series.

Note 7. Borrowings

The Series, 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 26, 2007, the Funds renewed the SCA with the banks. The commitment under the renewed SCA continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .06 of 1% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 24, 2008. For the period October 27, 2006 through October 26, 2007, the Funds paid a commitment fee of .07 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 Series utilized the line of credit during the six months ended March 31, 2008. The average daily balance for the 12 days the Series had an outstanding balance was approximately $5,692,000 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.83%.

Note 8. 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 addition, 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 fiscal years 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.

OBJECTIVE

Long-term growth of capital

This report is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

The views expressed in this report and information about the Fund’s portfolio holdings are for the period covered by this report and are subject to change thereafter.

The accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2008, were not audited and, accordingly, no auditor’s opinion is expressed on them.

May 15, 2008

Dear Shareholder:

On the following pages, you’ll find your Fund’s semiannual report, including a table showing fund performance over the first half of the fiscal year and for longer periods. The report also contains a listing of the Fund’s holdings at period-end. The semiannual report is an interim statement furnished between the Fund’s annual reports, which include an analysis of Fund performance over the fiscal year in addition to other data.

Mutual fund prices and returns will rise or fall over time, and asset managers tend to have periods when they perform better or worse than their long-term average. The best measures of a mutual fund’s quality are its return compared to that of similar investments and the variability of its return over the long term. We recommend that you review your portfolio regularly with your financial professional.

Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund

Your Fund’s Performance

Fund objective

The investment objective of the Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund is long-term growth of capital. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. An investor may obtain performance data as of the most recent month-end by visiting our website at www.jennisondryden.com or by calling (800) 225-1852. The maximum initial sales charge is 5.50% (Class A shares). Gross operating expenses: Class A, 1.16%; Class B, 1.85%; Class C, 1.85%; Class R, 1.60%; Class Z, 0.85%. Net operating expenses apply to: Class A, 1.11%; Class B, 1.85%; Class C, 1.85%; Class R, 1.35%; Class Z, 0.85%, after contractual reduction through 1/31/2008 for Class A shares and 1/31/2009 for Class R shares.

The cumulative total returns do not reflect the deduction of applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total returns performance quoted. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B and Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge.

Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.

¹Inception date returns are provided for any share class with less than 10 calendar years of returns.

²The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed.

³The Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges without concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period of time. Multi-cap funds in the Lipper Average typically have between 25% and 75% of their assets invested in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Multi-cap core funds have more latitude in the companies in which they invest. These funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared with the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index.

⁴The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, and 0.75%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

**S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 16.03% for Class R. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 4.68% for Class R.

***Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 16.32% for Class R. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 4.64% for Class R.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the S&P 500 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

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 October 1, 2007, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 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

4 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before 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 183 days in the six-month period ended March 31, 2008, and divided by the 366 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending September 30, 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.

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund 17

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Fund was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series: Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund (the “Series”), Jennison Growth Fund and Dryden Active Allocation Fund which are diversified funds and JennisonDryden Growth Allocation Fund, JennisonDryden Moderate Allocation Fund and JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund which are non-diversified funds. These financial statements relate to Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund. The financial statements of the other series are not presented herein. The Series commenced investment operations on November 7, 1996.

The Series’ investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital. The Series seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in common stocks of established companies with growth prospects believed to be underappreciated by the market.

Note 1. Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series in the preparation of its financial statements.

Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange 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 traded via Nasdaq are valued at the official closing price provided by Nasdaq. 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. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with The 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 the capitalization of issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/

18 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

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. As of March 31, 2008, there were no securities whose values were impacted by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market.

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 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market-value. The amortized cost method includes 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 60 days are valued at current market quotations.

Restricted Securities: The Series 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 Series at the end of the fiscal period may include registration rights under which the Series may demand registration by the issuers, of which the Series may bear the cost of such registration. Restricted securities, are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Series 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 current rates of exchange.

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses-at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Series does 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 long term securities held at the end of the fiscal year. Similarly, the Series does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the fiscal year. Accordingly, realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund 19

Notes to Financial Statements

continued

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at fiscal year 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 possibility of political and economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

Securities Lending: The Series may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral, at least equal, at all times to the market value of the securities loaned. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Series. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Series has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Series recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Series also continues to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognizes any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

Short Sales: The Series may make short sales of securities as a method of hedging potential price declines in similar securities owned. The Series may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Series makes a short sale, it will borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale as collateral for its obligation to deliver the security upon conclusion of the sale. The Series may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular securities and may be obligated to return any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities. A gain, limited to the price at which the Series sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to dollar

20 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price is less or greater than the proceeds originally received, respectively, and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on short sales.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class) and realized and unrealized gains and 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.

Dividends and Distributions: The Series expects to pay dividends of net investment income, if any, semi-annually and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Dividends and distributions, 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.

Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Series in the Fund is treated as a separate tax paying entity. It is the Series’ 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 shareholders. Therefore, no federal tax provision is required.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.

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 for the Series with 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 Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). The subadvisory agreement

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund 21

Notes to Financial Statements

continued

provides that Jennison furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In connection therewith, Jennison is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI pays for the services of Jennison, the cost of compensation of officers and employees of the Series, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Series. The Series bears all other costs and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .60 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Series up to $300 million and .575 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Series over $300 million. The effective management fee rate was .59 of 1% of the Series average daily net assets for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

The Series has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares of the Series. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C and R Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. 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 Series.

Pursuant to the Class A, B, C and R Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1%, 1% and .75 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C and R shares, respectively. PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25 of 1% (through January 31, 2008) and .50 of 1% of the Class A and Class R shares, respectively.

PIMS has advised the Series that it received approximately $59,400 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2008. From these fees PIMS paid such sales charges to affiliated brokers/dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

PIMS has advised the Series that for the six months ended March 31, 2008, it received approximately $200, $51,900 and $2,800 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

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

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. Transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

The Series 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 six months ended March 31, 2008, the Series incurred approximately $146,600 in total networking fees, of which approximately $69,300 was paid to First Clearing. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Prudential Investment Management, Inc., (“PIM”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Series’ security lending agent. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, PIM has been compensated approximately $157,600 for these services.

The Series invests in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “portfolio”), a portfolio of the Dryden Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

$583,266,028	$37,269,551	$56,551,544	$19,281,993	$(1,216)	$19,283,209

continued

The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales. The other cost basis adjustments are primarily attributable to market to market on open foreign currency, receivables and payables.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of March 31, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ 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 Series offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.5%. 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%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential Financial, Inc. Class B shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% during the first 12 months. Class B shares 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 qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class R and 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 $.001 par value common stock of the Series, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z, each of which consists of 200 million authorized shares. As of March 31, 2008 Prudential owned 138 Class R shares of the Series.

Note 7. Borrowings

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 26, 2007, the Funds renewed the SCA with the banks. The commitment under the renewed SCA continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .06 of 1% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 24, 2008. For the period from October 27, 2006 through October 26, 2007, the Funds paid a commitment fee of .07 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 utilized the line of credit during the six months ended March 31, 2008. The average daily balance for the 4 days the Fund

had loans outstanding during the year was approximately $628,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 3.40%.

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncements

On September 20, 2006, the 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 addition, 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 fiscal years 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.

Dear Shareholder:

On the following pages, you’ll find your Fund’s semiannual report, including a table showing fund performance over the first half of the fiscal year and for longer periods. The report also contains a listing of the Fund’s holdings at period-end. The semiannual report is an interim statement furnished between the Fund’s annual reports, which include an analysis of Fund performance over the fiscal year in addition to other data.

Mutual fund prices and returns will rise or fall over time, and asset managers tend to have periods when they perform better or worse than their long-term average. The best measures of a mutual fund’s quality are its return compared to that of similar investments and the variability of its return over the long term. We recommend that you review your portfolio regularly with your financial professional.

Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President

Your Fund’s Performance

Fund objective

The investment objective of the JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund is current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. An investor may obtain performance data as of the most recent month-end by visiting our website at www.jennisondryden.com or by calling (800) 225-1852. The maximum initial sales charge is 5.50% (Class A shares). Gross operating expenses: Class A, 1.86%; Class B, 2.56%; Class C, 2.56%; Class R, 2.31%; Class Z, 1.56%. Net operating expenses apply to: Class A, 1.46%; Class B, 2.21%; Class C, 2.21%; Class R, 1.71%; Class Z, 1.21%, after contractual reduction through 1/31/2009.

The cumulative total returns do not reflect the deduction of applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total returns quoted. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B and Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge.

¹Inception dates: Class A, B, C, and Z, 3/30/04; Class R, 1/12/07. The Since Inception returns for the JDAA Conservative Customized Blend, Russell 1000 Index, S&P 500 Index, and Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Average (Lipper Average) are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date.

²The JennisonDryden Asset Allocation (JDAA) Conservative Customized Blend is a model portfolio consisting of the Russell 3000 Index (25%), the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East (MSCI EAFE ND) Index (10%), the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index (30%), the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Corporate Index (30%), and the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500/Citigroup BMI World Property Net Index (5%). Each component of the JDAA Conservative Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered as representing the performance of its asset class. The JDAA Conservative Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance based on the amounts allocated to each asset class. The JDAA Conservative Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes.

³The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged index that consists of the 1,000 largest securities in the Russell 3000 Index.

⁴The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed.

⁵The Lipper Average represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds category. Funds in the Lipper Average normally seek a high level of current income through investing in income-producing stocks, bonds, and money market instruments.

⁶The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, and 0.75%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

**JDAA Conservative Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 26.86% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and 3.29% for Class R.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Performance Target—JDAA Conservative Customized Blend

The JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund seeks to beat a performance target—the JDAA Conservative Customized Blend—consisting of a weighted average return of five securities indexes that are generally considered representative of the asset classes in which the Fund may invest. The chart below shows both the total returns of these indexes for the six-month period ended March 31, 2008, and their weightings in the JennisonDryden Conservative Customized Blend. Index returns do not reflect sales charges, a mutual fund’s operating expenses, or taxes, and investors cannot invest directly in an index. The JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund seeks to beat this target by holding positions in specific JennisonDryden mutual funds. In response to market developments, the Fund’s investment adviser may vary its holdings in those funds (within specified ranges). Past performance is not indicative of future results.

²The JennisonDryden Asset Allocation (JDAA) Growth Customized Blend is a model portfolio consisting of the Russell 3000 Index (60%), the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East (MSCI EAFE ND) Index (25%), the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index (10%), and the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500/Citigroup BMI World Property Net Index (5%). Each component of the JDAA Growth Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered as representing the performance of its asset class. The JDAA Growth Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance based on the amounts allocated to each asset class. The JDAA Growth Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes.

³The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged index that consists of the 1,000 largest securities in the Russell 3000 Index.

⁴The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed.

⁵The Lipper Average represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category. Funds in the Lipper Average invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges without concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period of time. Multi-cap funds typically have between 25% and 75% of their assets invested in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Multi-cap core funds have more latitude in the companies in which they invest. These funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared to the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index.

⁶The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, and 0.75%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

**JDAA Growth Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 38.11% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –2.31% for Class R. JDAA Growth Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 8.41% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –1.86% for Class R.

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

***Russell 1000 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 28.42% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –4.26% for Class R. Russell 1000 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 6.45% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –3.42% for Class R.

****S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 26.51% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –4.47% for Class R. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 6.05% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –3.59% for Class R.

*****Lipper Multi-Cap Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 26.39% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –3.98% for Class R. Lipper Multi-Cap Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 5.90% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –3.23% for Class R.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the JDAA Growth Customized Blend, Russell 1000 Index, and S&P 500 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Performance Target—JDAA Growth Customized Blend

The JennisonDryden Growth Allocation Fund seeks to exceed a performance target—the JDAA Growth Customized Blend—consisting of a weighted average return of four securities indexes that are generally considered representative of the asset classes in which the Fund may invest. The chart below shows both the total returns of these indexes for the six-month period ended March 31, 2008, and their weightings in the JennisonDryden Growth Customized Blend. Index returns do not reflect sales charges, a mutual fund’s operating expenses, or taxes, and investors cannot invest directly in an index. The JennisonDryden Growth Allocation Fund seeks to exceed this target by holding positions in specific JennisonDryden mutual funds. In response to market developments, the Fund’s investment adviser may vary its holdings in those funds (within specified ranges). Past performance is not indicative of future results.

The Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index is an index of investment grade securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and by corporations with between one and 10 years remaining to maturity. It gives a broad look at how bond prices of short and intermediate-term bonds have performed.

The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE ND Index) is an unmanaged, weighted index that reflects stock price movements in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. It gives a broad look at how foreign stock prices have performed.

The Russell 3000 Index represents the U.S. equity market—it covers about 98% of all investable stocks in the U.S.

The Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500/Citigroup BMI World Property Net Index is a broad market index of more than 400 companies from 21 countries, and is available for a wide range of regions (including ex-U.S.) as well as by country.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a 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. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2007, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2008. These examples are 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 tables on the following pages. 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 tables, 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 tables. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the tables on the following pages 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 tables below 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 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 tables 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 tables 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.

JennisonDryden Asset Allocation Funds 35

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series (“Fund” or “Funds”): Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund, Jennison Growth Fund, and Dryden Active Allocation Fund which are diversified funds and JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund (“Conservative Allocation Fund”), JennisonDryden Moderate Allocation Fund (“Moderate Allocation Fund”) and JennisonDryden Growth Allocation Fund (“Growth Allocation Fund”) which are non-diversified. These financial statements relate to the Conservative Allocation Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund and Growth Allocation Fund (collectively referred to as “Asset Allocation Funds”). The inception date of the Asset Allocation Funds was March 30, 2004.

The Conservative Allocation Fund’s investment objective is current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation. The Moderate Allocation Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation and a reasonable level of current income. The Growth Allocation Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. Each Asset Allocation Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of mutual funds in the JennisonDryden mutual fund family (each, an underlying fund). Each Fund in the Asset Allocation Funds is typically referred to as a “Fund of Funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. The Asset Allocation Funds may also invest directly in U.S. Government securities and money market instruments for cash management purposes or when assuming a defensive position.

Note 1. Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company and the Asset Allocation Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Securities Valuation: Investments in the underlying funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each underlying fund as reported on each business day. Short-term debt investments maturing within 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 value.

36 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis and such expenses exclude those of the underlying funds. Expenses on the underlying funds are reflected in the net asset values of those funds.

Net Investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to the 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.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends will typically be distributed quarterly by the Conservative Allocation Fund, semi-annually by the Moderate Allocation Fund and annually by the Growth Allocation Fund. Each Asset Allocation Fund declares and pays its net realized capital gains, if any, at least 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.

Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Fund in the Company is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is each of the Asset Allocation Funds’ policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

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 Company has a management agreement for the Asset Allocation Funds 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 Quantitative Management Associates LLC (“QMA”). The subadvisory agreement provides that QMA furnishes

JennisonDryden Asset Allocation Funds 37

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Asset Allocation Funds. In connection therewith, QMA is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Asset Allocation Funds. PI pays for the services of QMA, the compensation of officers of the Asset Allocation Funds, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Asset Allocation Funds. The Asset Allocation Funds bear all other costs and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .20 of 1% of each of the Asset Allocation Funds’ daily average net assets.

The Asset Allocation Funds have a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares of the Asset Allocation Funds. The Asset Allocation Funds compensate PIMS for distributing and servicing the Asset Allocation Funds’ Class A, B, C and R shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C and R Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. 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 Asset Allocation Funds.

Pursuant to the Class A, B, C and R Plans, the Asset Allocation Funds compensate PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1%, 1% and .75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C and R shares, respectively. PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares and .50 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares.

PI has contractually agreed to limit the net annual operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, non-routine expenses, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and underlying fund fees and expenses) of each class of shares of the Asset Allocation Funds to .50 of 1% of each Asset Allocation Funds’ average daily net assets.

PIMS has advised the Asset Allocation Funds of its receipt of front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2008. These amounts were approximately as follows:

Fund	Class A
Conservative Allocation Fund	$	129,300
Moderate Allocation Fund		217,300
Growth Allocation Fund		226,900

From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

PIMS has advised the Asset Allocation Funds of its receipt of contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by certain Class B and Class C shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2008. These amounts were approximately as follows:

Fund	Class B		Class C
Conservative Allocation Fund	$	18,300	$	900
Moderate Allocation Fund		62,600		2,200
Growth Allocation Fund		56,300		1,700

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

The Asset Allocation Funds, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), are 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 26, 2007, the Funds renewed the SCA with the banks. The Funds pay a commitment fee of ..06 of 1% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 24, 2008. For the period from October 27, 2006 through October 26, 2007, the Funds paid a commitment fee of .07 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 Asset Allocation Funds did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the six months ended March 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 Company’s transfer agent.

JennisonDryden Asset Allocation Funds 39

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out of pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

The Asset Allocation Funds pay networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers including fees relating to the services of Wachovia Securities, LLC (“Wachovia”) and First Clearing, LLC (“First Clearing”), affiliates of PI. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Conservative Allocation Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund and Growth Allocation Fund incurred approximately $4,800, $14,000 and $13,000, respectively, in total networking fees, of which approximately $3,800, $11,500 and $11,000, respectively, was paid to First Clearing. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

The Asset Allocation Funds invest in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “Series”), a portfolio of the Dryden Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Series is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

Purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments, for the six months ended March 31, 2008 were as follows:

Fund	Purchases		Sales
Conservative Allocation Fund	$	17,766,942	$	4,981,961
Moderate Allocation Fund		32,816,574		14,836,759
Growth Allocation Fund		24,080,670		9,334,193

Note 5. Tax Information

The United States federal income tax basis and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the Asset Allocation Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2008 were as follows:

Fund	Tax Basis		Appreciation		Depreciation			Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
Conservative Allocation Fund	$	49,917,515	$	1,292,293	$	(1,610,083	)	$	(317,790	)
Moderate Allocation Fund	$	107,281,505	$	6,057,653	$	(5,349,548	)	$	708,105
Growth Allocation Fund	$	68,121,778	$	3,062,412	$	(3,727,177	)	$	(664,765	)

The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.

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

Note 7. New Accounting Pronouncements

On September 20, 2006, the 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 addition, 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 fiscal years 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.
