Dear Shareholder:

We hope you find the semiannual report for the Prudential Government Income Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended August 31, 2012.

We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.

Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

Prudential Investments^® is dedicated to helping you solve your toughest investment challenges—whether it’s capital growth, reliable income, or protection from market volatility and other risks. We offer the expertise of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers* that strive to be leaders in a broad range of funds to help you stay on course to the future you envision. They also manage money for major corporations and pension funds around the world, which means you benefit from the same expertise, innovation, and attention to risk demanded by today’s most sophisticated investors.

Thank you for choosing the Prudential Investments family of funds.

Sincerely,

Stuart S. Parker, President

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

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50% and a 12b-1 fee of 0.30% annually. 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%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. The CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund. Class B shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, and 1% for the first six years, respectively, after the purchase and a 12b-1 fee of 1.00% annually. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class C shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge but charge a CDSC of 1% for Class C shares sold within 12 months from the date of purchase, and an annual 12b-1 fee of 1.00%. Class R shares are not subject to a sales charge and are subject to a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.75%. Class Z shares are not subject to a CDSC or 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. Without waiver of fees and/or expense subsidization, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.

The Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index is an unmanaged index of securities issued or backed by the U.S. government, its agencies, and instrumentalities with between one and 30 years remaining to maturity. It gives a broad look at how U.S. government bonds have performed. Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 8/31/12 is 55.40% for Class R. Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 9/30/12 is 5.40% for Class R.

Barclays U.S. Aggregate ex-Credit Index

The index covers the U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bond market, with index components for government securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities.

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

of 8/31/12 is 56.46% for Class R. Barclays U.S. Aggregate ex-Credit Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 9/30/12 is 5.51% for Class R.

Lipper General U.S. Government Funds Average

The Lipper General U.S. Government Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on an average return of all funds in the Lipper General U.S. Government Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest primarily in U.S. government and agency issues. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 8/31/12 is 49.25% for Class R. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 9/30/12 is 4.84% for Class R.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. The returns for the Indexes 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 March 1, 2012, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended August 31, 2012. 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 Government Income Fund 5

Fees and Expenses (continued)

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

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

* Fund expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 184 days in the six-month period ended August 31, 2012, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending February 28, 2013 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest.

Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 14 (formerly Prudential Government Income Fund, Inc.) (the “Company”) is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”). The Company consists of two funds: Prudential Government Income Fund (the “Fund”) and Prudential Floating Rate Income Fund. These financial statements relate to Prudential Government Income Fund. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek high current return.

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 Valuation: The Fund holds portfolio securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) through the adoption of Valuation Procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities. Under the current Valuation Procedures, a Valuation Committee is established and responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, which are summarized in the three broad level hierarchies based on any observable inputs used as described in the table following the Portfolio of Investments. The valuation methodologies and significant inputs used in determining the fair value of securities and other assets classified as
Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the hierarchy are as follows:

Common stocks, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (including futures contracts and certain options contracts on securities), that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange. Securities traded via NASDAQ are

valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

In the event there is no sale or official closing price on such day, these securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price in absence of an asked price. These securities are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these inputs are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.

For common stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges, certain valuation adjustments will be applied when events occur after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time. These securities are valued using pricing vendor services that provide adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such adjustment factors are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 as these securities have the ability to be purchased or sold at their net asset value on the date of valuation.

Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter market, such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Government agencies, U.S. Treasury obligations, and sovereign issues are usually valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide these prices usually after evaluating observable inputs including yield curves, credit rating, yield spreads, default rates, cash flows as well as broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Asset-backed and mortgage-related securities are usually valued by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide the prices using their internal pricing model with input from deal term, tranche level attributes, yield curve, prepayment speeds, and broker/dealer quotes. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality which mature in 60 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

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

amount due at maturity and cost. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as option contracts, foreign currency contracts and swaps agreements, are usually valued using pricing vendor services, which derive the valuation based on underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates, exchange rates and other inputs. These instruments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities and other assets that cannot be priced using the methods described above are valued with pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee. In the event there are unobservable inputs used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

When determining the fair value 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 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.

Options: The Fund purchased and wrote options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Fund also purchased options to gain exposure to certain securities and foreign currencies. The Fund’s principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option.

24 Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on at a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on options written.

The Fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. Over-the-counter options involve the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

When a Fund writes an option on a swap contract, an amount equal to any premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option on the swap. If a call option on a swap is exercised, the Fund becomes obligated to pay a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) and receive a variable interest rate on a notional amount. If a put option on a swap is exercised, the Fund becomes obligated to pay a variable interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) on a notional amount. Premiums received from writing options on swaps that expire or are exercised are treated as realized gains upon the expiration or exercise of such options on swaps. The risk associated with writing put and call options on swaps is that the Fund will be obligated to be party to a swap agreement if an option on a swap is exercised.

Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.”

Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain or loss is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on financial futures contracts.

Prudential Government Income Fund 25

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

The Fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets. Financial futures contracts involve elements of risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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

Swap Agreements: The Fund may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and other forms of swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Swap agreements are negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be executed either directly with the counterparty (“OTC Traded”) or through a central clearing facility, such as a registered commodities exchange (“Exchange Traded”). The swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Upon entering into an exchange traded swap, the Fund pledges with the clearing broker an initial margin and thereafter, pays or receives an amount, known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in valuation of swap contract. Payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses upon termination or maturity of the swap. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Portfolio of Investments.

Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund used interest rate swaps to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments and to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the

26 Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

Inflation Swaps: The Fund entered into inflation swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against the effect of inflation on yield. Inflation swap agreements involve two parties exchanging cash flows at a later date at rates related to inflation indices.

In addition to each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure (e.g. interest rate, credit, equity or foreign exchange, etc.), swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk, market risk and documentation risk. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreement, and that there will be unfavorable changes in net interest rates. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency of either party.

Such over-the-counter derivative agreements include conditions which when materialized, give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty for early termination of the contract(s) may impact the amounts reported on financial statements.

As of August 31, 2012, the Fund has not met conditions under such agreements that give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.

Securities Lending: The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Fund securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of

Prudential Government Income Fund 27

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

the securities fail financially, the Fund has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Fund 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 Fund 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.

Dollar Rolls: The Fund enters into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage securities for delivery in the current month, realizing a gain (loss), and simultaneously contracts to repurchase somewhat similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Fund is compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and by the lower repurchase price at the future date. The difference between the sales proceeds and the lower repurchase price is recorded as a realized gain. The Fund maintains a segregated account, the dollar value of which is at least equal to its obligations, with respect to dollar rolls. The Fund accounts for mortgage dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales which, as a result, can increase its portfolio turnover rate.

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 is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes original issue discount on portfolio securities as adjustments to interest income. 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 adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund declares daily dividends from net investment income. Payment of dividends is made monthly. Distributions of net capital gains, if any, are made annually. Dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax

28 Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst distributions in excess of net income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid-in-capital in excess of par, as appropriate.

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.

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 PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’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 and employees 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 accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to and including $1 billion, .45% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of the next $1 billion, .35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of the next $1 billion, and .30% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $3 billion.

The Fund 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 Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s 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 Fund.

Prudential Government Income Fund 29

(Unaudited) continued

Pursuant to the Class A, C and R Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, 1% and .75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, C and R shares, respectively. For the six months ended August 31, 2012, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25% and .50% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and R shares, respectively. Pursuant to the Class B Plan, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class B shares up to $3 billion, .80% of the next $1 billion of such assets and .50% of such assets in excess of $4 billion. The effective distribution fee rate for Class B was 1% for the six months ended August 31, 2012.

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received $105,127 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares, for the six months ended August 31, 2012. From these fees, PIMS paid a substantial portion of such sales charges to affiliated broker-dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

PIMS has advised the Fund that for the six months ended August 31, 2012, it received $18, $10,251 and $3,647 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class A, 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. Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

Prudential Investment Management, Inc., (“PIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Fund’s security lending agent. For the six months ended August 31, 2012, PIM has been compensated $6,503 for these services.

The Fund invests in the Prudential Core Short-Term Bond Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Funds”), each a portfolio of

30 Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 registered under the 1940 Act, as amended, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Funds are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended August 31, 2012, aggregated $3,615,201,596 and $3,609,264,985, respectively.

The average balance of dollar rolls outstanding during the six months ended August 31, 2012 was approximately $122,400,000. The amount of dollar rolls outstanding at August 31, 2012 was $93,369,687 (Principal $86,500,000), which was 14.2% of net assets.

Transactions in options written during the six months ended August 31, 2012, were as follows:

	Contracts			Premiums
Options outstanding at February 29, 2012		—		$	—
Options written		437			62,551
Options terminated in closing purchase transactions		(437	)		(62,551	)
Options outstanding at August 31, 2012		—		$	—

Note 5. Tax Information

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of August 31, 2012 were as follows:

Tax Basis	Appreciation	Depreciation	Net Unrealized Appreciation
$845,628,471	$32,489,777	$(10,792,723)	$21,697,054

The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to difference in the treatment of premium amortization for book and tax purposes and deferred losses on wash sales as of the most recent fiscal year end.

The Fund utilized approximately $7,982,000 of its capital loss carryforward to offset net taxable gains realized in the year ended February 29, 2012.

Prudential Government Income Fund 31

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

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 for the current reporting period. 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, Class R and Class Z shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.50% 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%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. 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 B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. Class C shares purchased are subject to a CDSC of 1% for 12 months from the date of 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 available exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund as presented in the table of transactions in shares of common stock.

There are 2.5 billion shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, divided into five classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z common stock, each of which consists of 500,000,000 authorized shares.

Note 7. Borrowing

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 $900 million for the period December 16, 2011 through December 14, 2012. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.08% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to December 16, 2011, the Funds had another SCA of a $750 million commitment with an annualized commitment fee of 0.10% of the unused portion. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly.

The Fund did not utilize the SCA during the period ended August 31, 2012.

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Approval of Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

The Fund’s Board of Directors

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Prudential Government Income Fund (the “Fund”)¹ consists of ten individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Directors”). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Director. The Board has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Investment Committee. Each committee is chaired by, and composed of, Independent Directors.

Annual Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements

As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, met on June 5-7, 2012 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2013, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

In advance of the meetings, the Board received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparative fee information from PI and PIM. Also, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups, as is further discussed below.

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PI and the subadviser, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders as the Fund’s assets grow. In their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements with respect to the Fund. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on June 5-7, 2012.

¹  Prudential Government Income Fund is a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 14.

Prudential Government Income Fund

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

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

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

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

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

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

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

Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and PIM under the management and subadvisory agreements.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

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

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as net assets increase, but at the current level of net assets, the Fund does not realize the effect of those rate reductions. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets grow beyond current levels. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure would result in benefits to Fund shareholders when (and if) net assets reach the levels at which the fee rate is reduced. These benefits will accrue whether or not PI is then realizing any economies of scale. The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PI’s costs are not specific to any individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.

Other Benefits to PI and PIM

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

Prudential Government Income Fund

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

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

Performance of the Fund/Fees and Expenses

The Board considered certain additional specific factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2011.

The Board also considered the Fund’s actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio, for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011. The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a Peer Group. The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Fund shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.

The mutual funds included in the Peer Universe (the Lipper General U.S. Government Funds Performance Universe) and the Peer Group were objectively determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).

The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Fund’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The table sets forth gross performance comparisons (which do not reflect the impact on performance of fund expenses, or any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the Peer Universe, actual management fees with the Peer Group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the Peer Group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

Performance	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
	3rd Quartile	1st Quartile	2nd Quartile	2nd Quartile
Actual Management Fees: 3rd Quartile
Net Total Expenses: 2nd Quartile

• The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index over all periods.

• The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s competitive performance over the longer term, it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements.

• The Board concluded that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

Dear Shareholder:

We hope you find the semiannual report for the Prudential Floating Rate Income Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended August 31, 2012.

We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.

Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

Prudential Investments^® is dedicated to helping you solve your toughest investment challenges—whether it’s capital growth, reliable income, or protection from market volatility and other risks. We offer the expertise of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers* that strive to be leaders in a broad range of funds to help you stay on course to the future you envision. They also manage money for major corporations and pension funds around the world, which means you benefit from the same expertise, innovation, and attention to risk demanded by today’s most sophisticated investors.

Thank you for choosing the Prudential Investments family of funds.

Sincerely,

Stuart S. Parker, President

Your Fund’s Performance (Unaudited)

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 3.25% (Class A shares). Gross operating expenses: Class A, 1.96%; Class C, 2.66%; Class Z, 1.66%. Net operating expenses: Class A, 1.20%; Class C, 1.95%; Class Z, 0.95%, after contractual reduction through 6/30/2013.

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

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.25% and a 12b-1 fee of 0.30% annually. Investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchases are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% effective 10/1/2012. The CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund. Class C shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge but 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 12b-1 fee or a CDSC. The returns in the tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deductions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares. Without waiver of fees and/or expense reimbursement, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.

Benchmark Definitions

Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index

The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index is an unmanaged index that represents the investable universe of the dollar-denominated leveraged loan market.

Lipper Flexible Loan Participation Funds Average

The Lipper Flexible Loan Participation Funds Average (Lipper Average) is based on the average return of all mutual funds in the Lipper Loan Participation category. Returns do not include the effect of any sales charges or taxes. Returns would be lower if sales charges or taxes were reflected.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. The returns for the 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. The Since Inception returns for the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index and the Lipper Average are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on March 1, 2012, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended August 31, 2012. 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

expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses should 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.

Class A	Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,032.10		1.20	%	$	6.15
	Hypothetical	$	1,000.00	$	1,019.16		1.20	%	$	6.11

	Hypothetical	$	1,000.00	$	1,020.42		0.95	%	$	4.84

* Fund expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 184 days in the six-month period ended August 31, 2012, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending February 28, 2013 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest.

The Company consists of two funds: Prudential Floating Rate Income Fund (the “Fund”) and Prudential Government Income Fund. Investment operations of the Fund commenced on March 30, 2011. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek to maximize current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary investment objective, but only when consistent with the Fund’s primary investment objective of seeking to maximize current income.

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 Valuation: The Fund holds portfolio securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) through the adoption of Valuation Procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities. Under the current Valuation Procedures, a Valuation Committee is established and responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, which are summarized in the three broad level hierarchies based on any observable inputs used as described in the table following the Schedule of Investments. The valuation methodologies and significant inputs used in determining the fair value of securities and other assets classified as
Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the hierarchy are as follows:

Common stocks, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (including futures contracts and certain options contracts on securities), that are

22 Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

In the event there is no sale or official closing price on such day, these securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price in absence of an asked price. These securities are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these inputs are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.

For common stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges, certain valuation adjustments will be applied when events occur after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time. These securities are valued using pricing vendor services that provide adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such adjustment factors are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 as these securities have the ability to be purchased or sold at their net asset value on the date of valuation.

Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter market, such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Government agencies, U.S. Treasury obligations, and sovereign issues are usually valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide these prices usually after evaluating observable inputs including yield curves, credit rating, yield spreads, default rates, cash flows as well as broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Asset-backed and mortgage-related securities are usually valued by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide the prices using their internal pricing model with input from deal term, tranche level attributes, yield curve, prepayment speeds, and broker/dealer quotes. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. The amortized cost

Prudential Floating Rate Income Fund 23

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

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. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as option contracts, foreign currency contracts and swaps agreements, are usually valued using pricing vendor services, which derive the valuation based on underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates, exchange rates and other inputs. These instruments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities and other assets that cannot be priced using the methods described above are valued with pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee. In the event there are unobservable inputs used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

When determining the fair value 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 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.

The Fund invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund, a portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.

The Fund may hold up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those that are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities, sometimes referred to as private placements, 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 adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund declares daily dividends from net investment income. Payment of dividends is made monthly. Distributions of net 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 distributions in excess of net income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.

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.

Withholding taxes on foreign interests 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 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 will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the

Prudential Floating Rate Income Fund 25

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

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 and employees 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 accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. PI has contractually agreed through June 30, 2013 to limit net annual Fund operating expenses (excluding distribution and service (12b-1) fees, extraordinary and certain other expenses, including taxes, interest and brokerage commissions) to each class of shares to ..95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

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

Pursuant to the Class A and C Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and C shares, respectively. PIMS has contractually agreed to limit such expenses to .25% of the average net assets of the Class A shares through contractual reduction date of June 30, 2013.

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received $13,492 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended August 31, 2012. From these fees, PIMS paid a substantial portion of such sales charges to affiliated broker-dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

PIMS has advised the Fund that for the six months ended August 31, 2012, it received $340 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class C shareholders.

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

The Fund invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act, as amended, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments and U.S. Government securities, for the six months ended August 31, 2012 were $31,630,158 and $22,065,833, respectively.

Note 5. Tax Information

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of August 31, 2012 were as follows:

Tax Basis of Investments	Appreciation	Depreciation	Net Unrealized Appreciation
$43,506,899	$375,011	$302,635	$72,376

The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales as of the most fiscal year end and the difference in the treatment of accreting market discount and premium amortization for book and tax purposes as of the current reporting period.

The Fund elected to treat post-October capital losses of approximately $21,000 as having been incurred in the following fiscal year (February 28, 2013).

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period.

Note 7. Borrowing

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 $900 million for the period December 16, 2011 through December 14, 2012. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.08% of the unused portion of the SCA. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly.

The Fund did not utilize the SCA during the period ended August 31, 2012.

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

Prudential Floating Rate Income Fund 33

Approval of Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

The Fund’s Board of Directors

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Prudential Floating Rate Income Fund (the “Fund”)¹ consists of ten individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Directors”). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the Directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Director. The Board has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Investment Committee. Each committee is chaired by, and composed of, Independent Directors.

Annual Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements

As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, met on June 5-7, 2012 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2013, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

In advance of the meetings, the Board requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparative fee information from PI and PIM. Also, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups, as is further discussed below.

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PI and the subadviser, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders as the Fund’s assets grow. In their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements with respect to the Fund. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board

¹  Prudential Floating Rate Income Fund is a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 14.

Prudential Floating Rate Income Fund

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on June 5-7, 2012.

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

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

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

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

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

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services

Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

provided to the Fund by PIM, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and PIM under the management and subadvisory agreements.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. However, the Board considered that the cost of services provided by PI for the year ended December 31, 2011 exceeded the management fees received by PI, resulting in an operating loss to PI. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of the subadviser, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints that would reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. In light of the Fund’s current size, performance and expense structure, the Board concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Fund’s fee schedule is acceptable at this time.

Other Benefits to PI and PIM

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI and PIM and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included fees received by affiliates of PI for serving as the Fund’s securities lending agent, transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), as well as benefits to the reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by PIM included the ability to use soft dollar credits, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to the reputation. The Board concluded that

the benefits derived by PI and PIM were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

Performance of the Fund/Fees and Expenses

The Board considered certain additional specific factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Fund for the fourth calendar quarter ended December 31, 2011. The Board considered that the Fund commenced operations on March 30, 2011, and that longer-term performance was not yet available.

The Board also considered the Fund’s actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio, for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2011. The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a Peer Group. The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Fund shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.

The mutual funds included in the Peer Universe (the Lipper Loan Participation Funds Performance Universe) and the Peer Group were objectively determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).

The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Fund’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The table sets forth gross performance comparisons (which do not reflect the impact on performance of fund expenses, or any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the Peer Universe, actual management fees with the Peer Group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the Peer Group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

Performance	Q4 2011	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
	1st Quartile	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
Actual Management Fees: 1st Quartile
Net Total Expenses: 3rd Quartile

• The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the fourth quarter of 2011.

• The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing expense cap of 0.95% (exclusive of 12b-1 fees and certain other fees) through June 30, 2013.

• The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s recent inception date and strong short-term performance, it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements.

• The Board concluded that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

*    *    *

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