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. Semiannual reports are interim statements 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.

 

Thank you for choosing the Prudential Investments® family of mutual funds.

 

Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President

Your Fund’s Performance

 

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.prudentialfunds.com or by calling (800) 225-1852. The maximum initial sales charge is 4.00% (Class A shares). Gross operating expenses: Class A, 0.88%; Class B, 1.08%; Class C, 1.58%; Class Z, 0.58%. Net operating expenses: Class A, 0.83%; Class B, 1.08%; Class C, 1.41%; Class Z, 0.58%, after contractual reduction through 12/31/2011 for Class A and 12/31/2010 for Class C.

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.

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.00% and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually, and all investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Under certain limited circumstances, an exchange may be made from Class A shares to Class Z shares of the Fund. Class B shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, and 1%, respectively, for the first six years after purchase and a 12b-1 fee of 0.50% annually. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class C shares purchased are not subject to a front-end sales charge, but are subject to a CDSC of 1% for shares sold within 12 months from the date of purchase and an annual 12b-1 fee of 1%. Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge or 12b-1 fees. The returns in the graph and tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period.

Benchmark Definitions

 

Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index

The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of over 39,000 long-term investment-grade municipal bonds. It gives a broad look at how long-term investment-grade municipal bonds have performed.

 

Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Average

The Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on an average return of all funds in the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest primarily in municipal debt issues in the top four credit ratings.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. The returns for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond 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 September 1, 2010, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended February 28, 2011. 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 Prudential Investments 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

 

Prudential National Muni Fund, Inc.     5   


Fees and Expenses (continued)

 

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

 

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

* Fund expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 181 days in the six-month period ended February 28, 2011, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending August 31, 2011 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited)

 

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

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

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

 

Securities Valuations: The Fund values municipal securities (including commitments to purchase such securities on a “when-issued” basis) as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities in determining values. Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) in consultation with the subadvisor, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided, by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Futures contracts and options thereon traded on an exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available or for which the pricing service does not provide a valuation methodology, or does not present fair value, are valued at fair value in accordance with Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include, the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general

liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

 

Investments in open end non-exchange-traded 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 of sufficient credit quality which mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair 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 fair value.

 

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

 

When the Fund enters into agreements to create inverse floaters and floater note securities (also know as Tender Option Bond Transactions), the Fund transfers a fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time the Fund buys (receives) a residual interest in a trust (the “trust”) set up by the broker, often referred to as an inverse floating rate obligation (inverse floaters). Generally, the broker deposits a fixed rate bond (the “fixed rate bond”) into the trust with the same CUSIP number as the fixed rate bond sold to the broker by the Fund. The “trust” also issues floating rate notes (“floating rate notes”), which are sold to third parties. The floating rate notes have interest rates that reset weekly. The inverse floater held by the Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the fixed rate bond held by the trust to the Fund thereby collapsing the trust. The Fund accounts for the transaction described above as funded leverage by including the fixed rate in its Portfolio of Investments, and accounts for the floating rate notes are as a liability under the bond caption “payable for floating rate notes issued” in the Fund’s “Statement of Assets and Liabilities.” Interest expense

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

related to the Fund’s liability in connection with the floating rate notes held by third parties is recorded as incurred. The interest expense is under the caption “interest expenses and fees related to inverse floaters” in the Fund’s “Statement of Operations” and is also included in the Fund’s expense ratio. For the six months ended February 28, 2011 the Fund did not enter into any Tender Option Bond Transactions.

 

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

 

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

 

Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, know as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain or loss is realized and is presented in the statement of operations as net realized gain (loss) on financial futures contracts.

 

The Fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates, and manage yield curve and duration. The Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.

 

40   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com


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

 

With exchange-traded futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default.

 

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

 

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by management. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts on purchases of debt securities as adjustments to interest income. Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to respective class) and unrealized and realized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.

 

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

 

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

 

Custody Fee Credits: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby uninvested monies earn credits which reduce the fees charged by the custodian. Such

custody fee credits are presented as a reduction of gross expenses in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

 

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

 

Note 2. Agreements

 

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

 

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to and including $250 million, .475% of the next $250 million, .45% of the next $500 million, .425% of the next $250 million, .40% of the next $250 million and .375% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. The effective management fee rate was .47% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the six months ended February 28, 2011.

 

The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, B, C and Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B and C Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by it. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Fund.

 

Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution- related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, .50% and 1%, of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively. For the six months ended

February 28, 2011 and period ended December 31, 2010, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25% and .75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The effective distribution fee rate for Class C was .83% for the six months ended February 28, 2011.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that it received $65,010 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares, for the six months ended February 28, 2011. From these fees, PIMS paid a substantial portion of such sales charges to dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that for the six months ended February 28, 2011, it received $37,721 and $3,432 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

 

PI, PIM and PIMS 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. The transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

 

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

 

Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended February 28, 2011, aggregated $56,988,750 and $98,260,729, respectively.

 

Note 5. Tax Information

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized depreciation as of February 28, 2011 were as follows:

$774,514,278   $22,429,890   $(32,574,600)   $(10,144,710)

 

The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to differences in the treatment of accreting market discount for book and tax purposes as of the most recent fiscal year end.

 

Prudential National Muni Fund, Inc.     43   


 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

 

As of August 31, 2010, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of approximately $3,588,000 of which $225,000 expires in 2016, $35,000 expires in 2017 and $3,328,000 expires in 2018. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward. It is uncertain whether the Fund will be able to realize the full benefit prior to the expiration date. The Fund elected to treat post-October capital losses of approximately $2,241,000 as having been incurred in the fiscal year ending August 31, 2011.

 

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. However, any post-enactment losses incurred will be required to be utilized prior to the utilization of losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforward may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

 

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

Note 6. Capital

 

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4%. All investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more are not subject to a front-end sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, if they sell these shares within 12 months of purchase, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 5% to zero depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% within 12 months from the date of purchase. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. In addition, under certain limited circumstances, an exchange may be made from Class A to Class Z shares of the Fund.

A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

 

During the year ended August 31, 2010, the Fund received $8,876 related to settlement of regulatory proceedings involving allegations of improper trading in Fund shares. The amounts relating to a former affiliate and to an unaffiliated-third party were $5,607 and $3,269, respectively. The total amount is presented in the Fund’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The Fund was not involved in the proceedings or in the calculation of the amount of settlement.

 

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

Note 7. Borrowings

 

The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a syndicated credit agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for

capital share redemptions. The SCA provides for a commitment of $750 million for the period December 17, 2010 through December 16, 2011. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.10% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to December 17, 2010, the Funds had another Syndicated Credit Agreement (the “Expired SCA”) of a $500 million commitment with an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion. Interest on any borrowings under these SCA’s is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the six months ended February 28, 2011.
