IMPORTANT PROXY MATERIALS

PLEASE VOTE NOW

August 7, 2006

Dear Shareholder:

I am writing to ask you to vote on an important proposal whereby all of the assets of California Series (the California Series) would be acquired by California Income Series (Income Series, and together with the California Series, the Series), and the Income Series would acquire all of the liabilities of the California Series (the Reorganization). Each Series is a series of the Dryden California Municipal Fund (the Company). The Company is a Massachusetts business trust. The shareholder meeting (the Meeting) is scheduled for Friday, October 13, 2006 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time.

This package contains important information about the proposals and includes materials you will need in order to vote. The Board of Trustees of the Company has reviewed and approved the proposal and recommended that the proposal be presented to shareholders of the California Series for their consideration. Although the trustees have determined that the proposal is in the best interests of the California Series' shareholders, the final decision is up to you.

If approved, combining the Series would give you the opportunity to participate in a mutual fund with an identical investment objective and similar investment policies to your current Series. In addition, it will provide a larger asset base over which expenses may be spread. As a result, California Series shareholders are expected to realize a reduction in the net annual operating expenses borne by shareholders. The accompanying combined proxy statement and prospectus includes a detailed description of the proposal. Please read the enclosed materials carefully and cast your vote.

Shareholders of the California Series are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Reorganization.

Remember, your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings. By voting now, you can help the Company avoid additional costs that would be incurred with follow-up letters and calls.

To vote, you may use any of the following methods:

Acquisition of the Assets of the California Series

By and in exchange for shares of the California Income Series

This combined Proxy Statement and Prospectus (Prospectus/Proxy Statement) is being furnished to the shareholders of the California Series (the California Series), a series of the Dryden California Municipal Fund (the Company), a Massachusetts business trust, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Boards of Trustees of the Company for use at a special meeting of shareholders of the California Series and at any adjournments or postponements thereof (the Meeting).

The Meeting is scheduled to be held at Gateway Center Three, 100 Mulberry Street, 14th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102 on Friday, October 13, 2006 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time. This Prospectus/Proxy Statement will first be sent to shareholders on or about August 16, 2006.

The purpose of the Meeting is for shareholders of the California Series to vote on a Plan of Reorganization (the Plan) under which California Series will transfer all of its assets to, and all of its liabilities will be assumed by, California Income Series (the Income Series, and together with the California Series, the Series), another series of the Company, in exchange for shares of Income Series, which will be distributed to shareholders of the California Series, and the subsequent cancellation of shares of the California Series and its termination.

If the Plan is approved by shareholders of the California Series, each whole and fractional share of each class of the California Series shall be exchanged for whole and fractional shares of equal dollar value of the same class of Income Series subsequent to the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the California Series will be liquidated and the Income Series will be the surviving series.

The investment objectives of the Series are identical and the investment policies of the Series are similar. Each Series invests primarily in California state and local municipal bonds, which are debt obligations or fixed income securities, including notes, commercial paper and other securities, as well as obligations of other issuers (such as issuers located in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam) that pay interest income that is exempt from those taxes (collectively called "California obligations"). Each Series also may invest in debt obligations with the potential for capital gain. If the shareholders of California Series approve the Plan, such shareholders will become shareholders of Income Series.

This Prospectus/Proxy Statement sets forth concisely the information about the proposed Plan and the issuance of shares of the Income Series that you should know before voting. You should retain this Prospectus/Proxy Statement for future reference. Additional information about each Series and the proposed Reorganization has been filed with

1

the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and can be found in the following documents, which are incorporated by reference into this Prospectus/Proxy Statement:

SUMMARY

The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, including the Plan. You should read the more complete information in the rest of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, including the Plan for California Series (attached as Exhibit A), the Prospectus for the Income Series (enclosed as Exhibit B), and the SAI relating to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. This Prospectus/Proxy Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents. You should read these materials for more complete information.

The Proposals

You are being asked to consider and approve a Plan that will have the effect of combining the California Series and the Income Series into a single mutual fund. The Series are each a series of the Company. The Company is an open-end investment company that is organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

If the proposed Plan receives the required shareholder approval and is completed, the assets of the California Series will be transferred to, and all of the liabilities of the California Series will be assumed by, the Income Series in exchange for an equal value of shares of the Income Series. Shareholders of the California Series will have their class of shares exchanged for the same class of shares of Income Series of equal dollar value based upon the value of the shares at the time the California Series' assets are transferred to the Income Series (collectively, the Reorganization). After the transfer of assets and exchange of shares has been completed, the California Series will be liquidated and terminated and you will cease to be a shareholder of the California Series and will become a shareholder of Income Series.

For the reasons set forth in the "Reasons for the Reorganization" section, the Board of Trustees of the Company has determined that the proposed reorganization of the California Series is in the best interests of the shareholders of the California Series and the Income Series, and has also concluded that the shareholders of either Series would not be subject to any dilution in value as a result of the consummation of the Plan.

2

The Board of Trustees of the Company, on behalf of the California Series and the Income Series, has approved the Plan and unanimously recommends that you vote to approve the Plan.

Shareholder Voting

Shareholders who own shares of the California Series at the close of business on July 21, 2006 (the Record Date) will be entitled to vote at the Meeting and any adjournments thereof, and will be entitled to one vote for each full share and a fractional vote for each fractional share that they hold of the California Series. The approval of the Plan requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the California Series present at a meeting at which at least one-third of the shares entitled to vote thereon are represented in person or by proxy.

Please vote your shares as soon as you receive this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. You may vote by completing and signing the enclosed ballot (proxy card) or over the Internet or by phone. If you vote by any of these methods, your votes will be officially cast at the Meeting for you by persons appointed as proxies. If you own shares in multiple accounts, you will receive multiple proxy cards. Each proxy card must be voted for all of your shares to be voted.

You can revoke or change your voting instructions at any time until the vote is taken at a Meeting. For more details about shareholder voting, see the "Voting Information" section of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

COMPARISON OF IMPORTANT FEATURES

The Investment Objectives and Policies of the Series

This section describes the investment objectives and policies of each of the Series and the differences between them. For a complete description of the investment policies and risks for the Income Series, you should read the Prospectus (enclosed as Exhibit B) and SAI for the Income Series, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

The investment objective of each Series is to maximize current income that is exempt from California state and federal income taxes, consistent with the preservation of capital. In conjunction with the Series' investment objectives, each Series may invest in debt obligations with the potential for capital gain. Each Series' investment objective is a fundamental policy that cannot be changed by the Company's' Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. There can be no assurance that either Seri es will achieve its investment objective.

Each Series pursues its investment objective through various investment strategies that are employed by that Series' respective subadviser. In pursuing its investment objective, each Series invests primarily in California obligations, including California state and local municipal bonds as well as obligations of other issuers (such as issuers located in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam) that pay interest income that is exempt from California and federal income taxes. As a fundamental policy of each Series, each Series invest, under normal circumstances, so that at least 80% of the income from the Series' investments will be exempt from those taxes or the Series will have at least 80% of its investable assets invested in California obligations.

Each Series, however, may hold certain private activity bonds, which are municipal bonds, the interest on which is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). Municipal bonds include general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are obligations supported by the credit of an issuer that has the power to tax and are payable from that issuer's general revenues and not from any specific source. Revenue bonds, on the other hand, are payable from revenues derived from a particular source or project.

The California Series normally invests its investable assets in "investment grade" debt obligations, which are obligations rated at least BBB by S&P, Baa by Moody's, or comparably rated by another major rating service, and unrated debt obligations that we believe are comparable in quality, while the Income Series normally invests at least 70% of its investable assets in such investment grade debt obligations. Bonds rated Baa and higher by Moody's or BBB and higher by S&P are considered investment grade, with a range of adequate to very strong capacity for meeting their financial obligations, although debt obligations rated in the lowest of the "investment grade" quality grades (BBB/Baa) have certain speculative characteristics and are riskier than higher-rated debt obligations. Each

3

Series may also invest in municipal bonds the interest and/or principal payments on which are insured by bond issuers or other parties. Generally, the yields on insured bonds are lower than the yields on uninsured bonds of comparable quality. Insurance reduces the insured bond's credit risk and may increase the bond's value.

Each Series also may invest in lower-rated bonds. The Income Series may invest up to 30% of its assets in high-yield municipal debt obligations or junk bonds, while the California Series' investments in junk bonds is limited by its investment policy of normally investing its investable assets in investment grade debt obligations. Lower-rated bonds tend to offer higher yields, but also offer greater risks, than higher-rated bonds. If the rating of a debt obligation is downgraded after a Series purchases it (or if the debt obligation is no longer rated), a Series will not have to sell the obligation, but we will take this into consideration in deciding whether such Series should continue to hold the obligation.

The credit quality as of February 28, 2006 for each Series, expressed as a percentage of each such Series' net assets, were approximately as follows:

Ratings*	Percentages of Total Net Assets of California Series			Percentages of Total Net Assets of Income Series
AAA/Aaa		60.91	%		53.24	%
AA/Aa		10.72	%		2.71	%
A/A		19.01	%		12.33	%
BBB/Baa		5.21	%		8.54	%
BB/Ba		0	%		1.50	%
B/B		0	%		0.56	%
Caa		0	%		0	%
Less than Caa		0	%		0	%
Unrated		3.47	%		20.15	%
Other assets in excess of liabilities		0.68	%		0.97	%

*  Middle of three rating agencies (Moody's, S&P and Fitch). If only two rating agencies, use the lower of the two.

Each Series' subadviser emphasizes the same investment style. In determining which securities to buy and sell, the subadviser will consider, among other things, yield, maturity, issue, quality characteristics and expectations regarding economic and political developments, including movements in interest rates and demand for municipal bonds. The subadviser will attempt to anticipate interest rate movements and will purchase and sell municipal bonds accordingly. The subadviser will also consider the claims-paying ability with respect to insurers of municipal bonds. The subadviser will also seek to take advantage of differentials in yields with respect to securities with similar credit ratings and maturities, but which vary according to the purpose for which they were issued, as well as securities issued for similar purposes with similar maturities, but which vary according to ratings.

If shareholders approve the Reorganization, there may be a moderate increase in credit risk for the former California Series shareholders because the Income Series had an average credit rating of A, while the California Series had an average credit rating of Aa as of February 28, 2006.

The dollar-weighted average maturity of the obligations held by each Series generally ranges between 10 and 20 years.

The Series are each a series of the Company which is a diversified fund. See "Investment Restrictions" below.

The Series typically distribute monthly all or substantially all of their ordinary income and net realized capital gains.

After the Reorganization is completed, it is expected that the combined surviving fund will be managed according to the investment objective and policies of the Income Series.

Comparison of Other Policies

Except as described above under "The Investment Objectives and Policies of the Series", the Series have identical policies with respect to municipal lease obligations, municipal asset-backed securities, floating rate bonds,

4

variable rate bonds, inverse floaters, secondary inverse floaters and zero coupon municipal bonds, when-issued and delayed delivery securities, derivatives strategies (including, but not limited to, futures contracts and related options and swap transactions), temporary defensive investments, borrowing money, and holding illiquid securities.

Investment Restrictions

A Series may not change a fundamental investment restriction without the prior approval of its shareholders. Each Series has adopted fundamental investment restrictions, which limit its ability, subject to certain exceptions which are identical for each of the Series, to: (i) purchase securities of any issuer; (ii) issue senior securities or borrow or pledge its assets; (ii) purchase or sell real estate; (iv) purchase or sell physical commodities; (v) underwrite securities; and (vi) make loans.

By adopting investment restriction (i) above, the Series are diversified funds under the 1940 Act. This means that each may not, with respect to 75% of the value of its respective total assets, purchase a security of any issuer (other than U.S. Government securities) or securities of other investment companies if, as a result (a) more than 5% of the value of the Series' total assets would be invested in the securities of such issuer, or (b) more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer would be held by the Series.

For purposes of investment restriction (ii) above, under the 1940 Act, a Series can borrow money from a bank provided that immediately after such borrowing there is asset coverage of at least 300% for all borrowings. If the asset coverage falls below 300%, the Series must, within three days thereafter, (not including Sundays and holidays) reduce the amount of its borrowings to satisfy the 300% requirement.

The Income Series also has adopted a fundamental investment restriction which prohibits the Income Series from purchasing securities (other than municipal obligations and obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result of such purchase, 25% or more of the total assets of the Series (taken at current market value) would be invested in any one industry or group of industries, except for temporary defensive purposes. For purposes of this investment restriction, the Income Series relies on The North American Industry Classification System published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, in determining industry classification. The Income Series' reliance on this classification system is not a fundamental policy of the series and, therefore, can be changed without shareholder approval.

Whenever any fundamental investment policy or investment restriction states a maximum percentage of a Series' assets, it is intended that, if the percentage limitation is met at the time the investment is made, a later change in percentage resulting from changing total asset values will not be considered a violation of such policy. However, if a Series' asset coverage for borrowings permitted by investment restriction (ii) falls below 300%, the Series will take prompt action to reduce its borrowings, as required by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

Risks of Investing in the Series

The principal investment risks associated with an investment in the Income Series are substantially similar to the principal investment risks associated with an investment in the California Series. Such principal risks include market risk and credit risk. As set forth in more detail below, the principal difference in risk between the Series is that the Income Series is more exposed to risks associated with investing in junk bonds than the California Series.

Although each Series tries to invest wisely, all investments involve risk. There is no assurance that the Series will meet their investment objectives. The Series invest primarily in bonds. These securities are generally subject to the risk that the issuer may be unable to make principal and interest payments when they are due (i.e., credit risk), as well as the risk that the securities may lose value because there is a lack of confidence in the issuer or in the bond's insurer (i.e., market risk).

Bonds are also subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of debt securities generally increase when interest rates decline and decrease when interest rates increase. Stated otherwise, bond prices and the net asset value per share (NAV) for each Series generally move in the opposite direction from interest rates. Prices

5

of longer-term securities generally change more (i.e., decline) in response to interest rate changes than prices of shorter-term securities. The Series may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or otherwise change in a manner not anticipated by Series management.

Each Series also faces call and redemption risk. A bond's issuer may call a bond for redemption before it matures. If this happens to a bond a Series holds, the Series may lose income and may have to invest the proceeds in bonds with lower yields.

Investment Quality Ratings. Each Series may invest in bonds rated Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P (the lowest investment quality grade). Such rated bonds have speculative characteristics and are subject to a greater degree of market fluctuation and greater risk that the issuer may be unable to make principal and interest payments when they are due than higher-quality securities.

The Income Series invests in junk bonds, which have a higher risk of default of payment of principal and interest. Furthermore, junk bonds tend to be less liquid than higher-rated securities. Therefore, an investment in the Income Series may not be appropriate for short-term investing. The California Series normally does not invest in junk bonds.

Municipal Bonds Risks. Municipal bonds and, in particular, municipal leases may be subject to the risk that the state or municipality may not set aside funds in future budgets to make the bond or lease payments.

Each Series also may invest in insured municipal bonds. A Series may purchase municipal bonds that are insured to reduce credit risks. Although insurance coverage reduces credit risks by providing that the insurer will make timely payment of interest and/or principal, it does not provide protection against market fluctuations of insured bonds or fluctuations in the price of the shares of a Series. An insured municipal bond fluctuates in value largely based on factors relating to the insurer's creditworthiness or ability to satisfy its obligations.

California Municipal Bonds Risks. Because the Series will concentrate its investments in California obligations, the Series is more susceptible to economic, political and other developments that may adversely affect issuers of California obligations than a municipal bond fund that is not as geographically concentrated. These developments may include state or local legislation or policy changes, voter-passed initiatives, erosion of the tax base or reduction in revenues of the State or one or more local governments, the effects or threats of terrorist acts, the effects or threats of possible natural disasters, or other economic or credit problems affecting the State generally or any individual locality (which may directly or indirectly affect the State as a whole). By way of illustration, although California has a relatively diversified economy, California has conc entrations in the computer services, software design, motion pictures and high technology manufacturing industries. A Series, therefore, may be more susceptible to developments affecting those industries than a municipal bond fund that invests in obligations of several states. This example illustrates just one of the risks of investing in California obligations. See the attached prospectus of the Company for additional information.

Floating Rate Bonds, Variable Rate Bonds, Inverse Floaters, Secondary Inverse Floaters and Zero Coupon Municipal Bonds Risks. Each Series may invest in floating rate bonds, variable rate bonds, inverse floaters, secondary inverse floaters and zero coupon municipal bonds. Floating rate bonds are municipal bonds that have an interest rate that is set as a specific percentage of a designated rate, such as the rate on Treasury bonds. The interest rate on floating rate bonds changes when there is a change in the designated rate. Variable rate bonds are municipal bonds that have an interest rate that is adjusted periodically based on the market rate at a specified time. They generally allow the Series to demand full payment of the bond on short notice. At times the Series may receive an amount that may be more or less than the amount paid for the bond. Inverse floaters are municipal bonds with a floating or variable interest rate that moves in the opposite direction of the interest rate on another security or the value of an index. Secondary inverse floaters are municipal asset-backed securities with a floating or variable interest rate that moves in the opposite direction of the interest rate on another security or the value of an index. Zero coupon municipal bonds do not pay interest during the life of the bond. An investor makes money by purchasing the bond at a price that is less than the money the investor will receive when the municipality repays the amount borrowed (face value). Zero coupon bonds are subject to credit risk, market risk and concentration risk, and are typically subject to greater volatility and less liquidity in adverse markets than other municipal bonds.

6

Derivatives Risks. Each Series may use investment strategies, such as derivative investing, that involve risk. The Series use these risk management techniques to try to preserve assets or enhance return. Derivatives – such as futures contracts, options on futures and various types of swaps – involve costs and can be volatile. Derivatives may not fully offset the underlying positions and this could result in losses to the Series that would not otherwise have occurred. Derivatives can increase share price volatility and those that involve leverage could magnify losses.

Like any mutual fund, an investment in the Series could lose value, and you could lose money. For more detailed information about the risk associated with the Series, see the Company's Prospectus that accompanies this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

Each Series is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Series has qualified and elected to be treated as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and intends to continue to so qualify in the future. As a regulated investment company, a Series must, among other things, (a) derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain loans of stock and securities, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currency and other income (including but not limited to gains from options, futures, and forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or foreign currency; and (b) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of its taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the value of the Series' total assets is represented by cash, cash items, U.S. Government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the Series' total assets, and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its total assets is invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities or securities of other regulated investment companies) or two or more issuers that are controlled by the Series and are determined, pursuant to Department of Treasury regulations, to be in the same, similar or related trades or businesses. As a regulated investment company, a Series (as opposed to its shareholders) will not be subject to federal income taxes on the net investment income and capital gain that it distributes to its shareholders, provided that at least 90% of its net investment income and realized net short-term capital gain in excess of net long-term capital loss for the taxable year is distributed in accordance with the Code's distribution requirements.

The Reorganization may lead to various tax consequences, which are discussed under the caption "Tax Consequences of the Reorganization."

Management of the Series

Prudential Investments LLC (PI), Gateway Center Three, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, New Jersey, serves as manager (the Investment Manager) pursuant to a separate investment management agreement with the Company on behalf of the California Series (the California Management Agreement), and the Income Series (the Income Management Agreement, and together with the California Management Agreement, the Management Agreements).

Under the Management Agreements, PI manages the Series' investment operations and administers its business affairs. Subject to the supervision of the Board, PI is responsible for conducting the initial review of prospective subadvisers for these Series. In evaluating a prospective subadviser, PI considers many factors, including the firm's experience, investment philosophy and historical performance. PI is also responsible for monitoring the performance of and supervising the Series' subadviser. As of June 30, 2006, PI served as the Investment Manager to all of the Prudential Financial, Inc. (Prudential Financial) U.S. and offshore open-end investment companies, and as administrator to closed-end investment companies, with aggregate assets of approximately $97.6 billion.

PI and each Series operate under an exemptive order (the Order) from the SEC that generally permits PI to enter into or amend agreements with the subadvisers without obtaining shareholder approval each time. This authority is subject to certain conditions, including the requirement that the Board must approve any new or amended agreements with a subadviser. Shareholders of the Series still have the right to terminate these subadvisory agreements at any time by a vote of the majority of outstanding shares of the Series. The Series will notify shareholders of any new subadviser or of material amendments to subadvisory agreements pursuant to the Order.

PI currently engages the following subadviser to manage the investments of each Series in accordance with that Series' investment objective, policies and limitations and any investment guidelines established by PI. The subadviser is responsible, subject to the supervision and control of PI for the purchase, retention and sale of securities in a Series' investment portfolio under its management.

Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (PIM) is each Series' subadviser and has served as a registered investment adviser to investment companies since 1984. PIM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial. The Fixed Income (PIM Fixed Income) unit of PIM is the primary public fixed income asset management business of PIM. Its address is Gateway Center Two, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, NJ 07102. PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services, supervises PIM and pays PIM for its services.

Robert Tipp, Susan Courtney and Dennis Hepworth of PIM Fixed Income are responsible for the management of each Series.

Robert Tipp, CFA, is Chief Investment Strategist of PIM Fixed Income. He has supervisory responsibility for PIM Fixed Income portfolio managers who manage mutual funds and institutional client accounts in the Municipal Bond, U.S. Liquidity (U.S. government and mortgages), Money Market, and Global Bond sectors. He is also portfolio manager for asset liability strategies and co-portfolio manager of Core Plus, Government, and Global Bond strategies. Previously, Mr. Tipp served as co-head of Prudential Financial's institutional fixed income business. Before joining Prudential Financial in 1991, Mr. Tipp was a Director in the Portfolio Strategies Group at First Boston Corporation. Prior to that, he was a Senior Analyst at Allstate Research & Planning Center, and managed fixed income and equity derivative strategies at Wells Fargo Investment Advisors. Mr. Tipp has 2 2 years of investment experience and has managed each Series since October 2004.

Susan Courtney is a Principal and head of the municipal bond group at PIM Fixed Income. She is responsible for developing, directing, and executing investment strategy for all municipal bond assets, including the Dryden municipal bond mutual funds. Ms. Courtney joined Prudential Financial in 2005 from GE Asset Management (GE), where for the prior 10 years she was a municipal bond portfolio manager responsible for $4.7 billion in tax-exempt assets for insurance companies. Prior to her career at GE, Ms. Courtney was Assistant Vice President of the Global Power Group at Fitch Investors Services, Inc., and a Senior Analyst in the Unit Investment Trust Department of Dean Witter Reynolds. Ms. Courtney has 21 years of investment experience and has managed each Series since March 2005.

Dennis Hepworth is a Principal and municipal bond portfolio manager for PIM Fixed Income. He is also head of municipal bond research, where he covers real estate, housing, public power, cogeneration and unrated corporate backed bonds. Prior to joining PIM Fixed Income in 1997, Mr. Hepworth was a sell side municipal research analyst at Prudential Securities. Prior to joining Prudential Financial, Mr. Hepworth was a senior analyst in the Capital Markets Credit and Private Client areas of Merrill Lynch. He is a member of the Municipal Analysts Group of New York and the National Federation of Municipal Analysts. Mr. Hepworth has 20 years of investment experience and has managed each Series since November 2004.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Reorganization, PIM will continue to serve as the subadviser for the Income Series, the surviving fund, although the portfolio managers for the Income Series could change at any time prior to or after the consummation of the Reorganization. If the Investment Manager determines that such portfolio manager change is in the best interest of the Income Series and its shareholders, then pursuant to the Order the subadviser may be replaced without prior shareholder approval, subject to Board approval. If such change occurs prior to the Meeting, you will be notified and you may change your vote for the proposal as described herein under "Voting Information – Revocation of Proxies."

Pursuant to the Management Agreements, PI receives a monthly investment management fee for the performance of its services. The investment management fee is accrued daily for the purposes of determining the sale and redemption price of each Series' shares. PI, as manager of the Series, pays the subadviser a portion of its fee for the performance of the subadvisory services at no additional cost to the Series.

Under the Management Agreements, each Series is obligated to pay PI an annual investment management fee equal to 0.50 of 1% to $1 billion and 0.45 of 1% over $1 billion of each Series' average daily net assets. For the fiscal

8

year ended August 31, 2005 and the six month period ended February 28, 2006, each Series paid management fees of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of each Series to PI. If the Plan is approved, the shareholders of the California Series will continue to pay the same investment management rate. During its fiscal year ended August 31, 2005 and the six-month period ended February 28, 2006, the Series paid investment management fees to PI noted below:

Series	For the Six-Month Period Ended February 28, 2006		For the Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2005
California Series	$	235,311	$	527,459
Income Series		453,728		980,039

PI pays the subadviser a portion of the investment management fee that PI receives from a Series. PI pays such subadvisory fees without any additional expense to the Series. With respect to each Series, PI annually pays PIM 0.250% of each Series' average daily net assets.

Distribution Plan

Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (PIMS or the Distributor) serves as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Series. The Company adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (commonly known as a 12b-1 Plan) for each class of shares of the Series (other than Class Z shares) to compensate the Distributor for its services and expenses in distributing shares and servicing shareholder accounts. Under the 12b-1 Plan for each share class, each Series is authorized to pay the Distributor at the following annual rates for assets attributable to the indicated share class:

Share Class	Rate
Class A (1)	0.25% of the Series' average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares
Class B	0.50% of the Series' average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares
Class C (1)	0.75% of the Series' average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares
Class Z (2)	None

(1)  The Distributor has contractually agreed until December 31, 2007 to reduce its distribution and service (12b-1) fees for Class A and Class C shares of each Series to 0.25% and 0.75%, respectively, of each Series' average daily net assets of the Class A and Class C shares. Without such contractual fee waiver the 12b-1 fees for the Series' Class A shares would be 0.30% and the Class C shares would be 1.00%.

(2)  Class Z shares are not subject to any distribution or service (12b-1) fees.

Because these fees are paid out of each Series' assets on an ongoing basis, these fees may, over time, increase the cost of an investment in that Series and may be more costly than other types of sales charges.

Valuation

In connection with the Reorganization, each whole and fractional share of each class of the California Series will be exchanged for whole or fractional shares of equal dollar value of the corresponding class of Income Series. The share value of a mutual fund – known as the net asset value per share or NAV – is determined by a simple calculation: it is the total value of the Series (assets minus liabilities) divided by the total number of shares outstanding. For example, if the value of the investments held by fund XYZ (minus its liabilities) is $1,000 and there are 100 shares of fund XYZ owned by shareholders, the price of one share of the fund – or the NAV – is $10 ($1,000 divided by 100).

Each Series' portfolio securities are valued based upon market quotations or, if not readily available, at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Series' Board. A Series also may use fair value pricing if it determines that the market quotation is not reliably based, among other things, on events or market conditions that occur after the quotation is derived or after the close of the primary market on which the security is traded, but before the time that the Series' NAV is determined. This use of fair value pricing most commonly occurs with securities that are primarily traded outside the U.S. because such securities present time-zone arbitrage

9

opportunities when events or conditions affecting the prices of specific securities or the prices of securities traded in such markets generally occur after the close of the foreign markets but prior to the time the Series determines its NAV. A Series may also use fair value pricing with respect to U.S.-traded securities if, for example, trading in a particular security is halted and does not resume before the Series calculates its NAV or the exchange on which a security is traded closes early. In addition, fair value pricing is used for securities where the pricing agent or principal market maker does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Investment Managers (or subadviser) does not represent fair value. Different valuation methods may result in differing values for the same security. The fair value of a portfolio security that a Series uses to determine its NAV may differ from the security's quoted or published price. If a Series needs to implement fair value pricing after the NAV publishing deadline, but before shares of a Series are processed, the NAV you receive or pay may differ from the published NAV price. For purposes of computing a Series' NAV, the Series' futures contracts will be valued at the last sale or bid price prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that day. Except when a Series fair values securities, each foreign security held by a Series is normally valued as of the close of the security's primary market. Fair value pricing procedures are designed to result in prices for a Series' securities and its NAV that are reasonable in light of the circumstances which make or have made market quotations unavailable or unreliable, and may have the effect of reducing arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance, however, that fair value pricing will more accurately reflect the market value of a security th an the market price of such security on that day or that it will prevent dilution of the Series' NAV by short-term traders.

Each Series' NAV is determined once each business day at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. New York time. The NYSE is closed on most national holidays and Good Friday. On days when the NYSE is closed but the primary markets for the Series' foreign securities are open, the Series will not price, and you will not be able to purchase, redeem or exchange a Series' shares even though the value of these securities may have changed. Conversely, each Series will ordinarily price its shares, and you may purchase, redeem or exchange shares on days that the NYSE is open but foreign securities markets are closed. On days there are no orders to purchase, sell or exchange the Series' shares, or when changes in the value of the Series' portfolio do not materially affect its NAV, the Series' NAVs may not be determined.

Most national newspapers report the NAVs of larger mutual funds, allowing investors to check the prices of those funds daily.

Although the legal rights of each class of shares of each Series are substantially identical, the different expenses borne by each class will result in different NAVs and dividends. The NAV is calculated separately for each class of each Series. The NAVs of Class B and Class C of each Series shares will generally be lower than the NAV of Class A and Class Z shares of each Series as a result of the larger distribution-related fee to which Class B and Class C are subject. It is expected, however, that the NAV of each Series' share classes will tend to converge immediately after the recording of dividends, if any, that will differ by approximately the amount of the distribution and/or service fee expense accrual differential among the classes.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Series Shares

Each Series seeks to prevent patterns of frequent purchases and redemptions of Series shares by its shareholders. Frequent purchases and sales of shares of a Series may adversely affect Series performance and the interests of long-term investors. When a shareholder engages in frequent or short-term trading, a Series may have to sell portfolio securities to have the cash necessary to redeem the shareholder's shares. This can happen when it is not advantageous to sell any securities, so a Series' performance may be hurt. When large dollar amounts are involved, frequent trading can also make it difficult to use long-term investment strategies because a Series cannot predict how much cash it will have to invest. In addition, if a Series is forced to liquidate investments due to short-term trading activity, it may incur increased brokerage and tax costs. Similarly, a Series may bear increased administrative costs as a result of the asset level an d investment volatility that accompanies patterns of short-term trading. Moreover, frequent or short-term trading by certain shareholders may cause dilution in the value of Series shares held by other shareholders. Series that invest in foreign securities may be particularly susceptible to frequent trading because time zone differences among international stock markets can allow a shareholder engaging in frequent trading to exploit Series

10

share prices that may be based on closing prices of foreign securities established some time before each Series calculates its own share price. Series that invest in certain fixed-income securities, such as high-yield bonds or certain asset-backed securities, may also constitute an effective vehicle for a shareholder's frequent trading strategy.

The Board of the Company has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage or prevent frequent trading activities by Series shareholders. In an effort to prevent such practices, each Series' transfer agent monitors trading activity on a daily basis. Each Series has implemented a trading policy that limits the number of times a shareholder may purchase Series shares or exchange into such Series and then sell those shares within a specified period of time (a round-trip transaction) as established by such Series' CCO. The CCO is authorized to set and modify the parameters at any time as required to prevent the adverse impact of frequent trading on Series shareholders. The CCO has defined frequent trading as one or more round-trip transactions in shares of a Series within a 30-day period. A second round-trip within 60 days will begin a warning period that will remain in effect for 90 days. If additional purchase activity is initiated du ring the warning period, the purchase activity will be cancelled. In addition, if two round-trips have already been completed within the past 90 days, a purchase suspension will be placed on the account that remains in effect for 90 days. Exceptions to the trading policy will not normally be granted.

Each Series reserves the right to reject or cancel, without prior notice, all additional purchases or exchanges into each Series by a shareholder who has violated this policy. Moreover, each Series may direct a broker-dealer or other intermediary to block a shareholder account from future trading in a Series. The transfer agent will monitor trading activity over $25,000 per account on a daily basis for a rolling 30-day period. If a purchase into a Series is rejected or cancelled for violations of the trading policy, the shareholder will receive a return of the purchase amount.

If a Series is offered to qualified plans on an omnibus basis or if Series shares may be purchased through other omnibus arrangements (Intermediaries), Intermediaries maintain the individual beneficial owner records and submit to each Series only aggregate orders combining the transactions of many beneficial owners. Each Series itself generally cannot monitor trading by particular beneficial owners. Each Series communicates to Intermediaries in writing that it expects the Intermediaries to handle orders on transfers by beneficial owners consistently with each Series' policies as set forth in each Series' prospectus and SAI on transfers by beneficial owners. Omnibus accounts and Intermediaries are treated uniformly with respect to these policies. Intermediaries may impose different or stricter restrictions on transfers by beneficial owners. Consistent with the restrictions described above, investments in each Series through retirement program s administered by Prudential Retirement will be similarly identified for frequent purchases and redemptions and appropriately restricted.

The transfer agent also reviews the aggregate net flows in excess of $1 million. In those cases, the trade detail is reviewed to determine if any of the activity relates to previously identified policy offenders. In cases of omnibus orders, the Intermediary may be contacted by the transfer agent to obtain additional information. The transfer agent has the authority to cancel all or a portion of the trade if the information reveals that the activity relates to previously identified policy offenders. In that case, the shareholder will receive a return of the purchase amount. Where appropriate, the transfer agent may request that the Intermediary block a financial adviser or client from accessing each Series. If necessary, each Series may be removed from a particular Intermediary's platform.

Shareholders seeking to engage in frequent trading activities may use a variety of strategies to avoid detection and, despite the efforts of each Series to prevent such trading, there is no guarantee that each Series, the transfer agent or Intermediaries will be able to identify these shareholders or curtail their trading practices. None of the Series or Income Series has any arrangements intended to permit trading of its shares in contravention of the policies described above.

Purchases, Redemptions, Exchanges and Distributions

The purchase policies for the Series are identical. The offering price is the NAV per share plus any initial sales charge that applies. Class A shares are sold at NAV plus an initial sales charge that varies depending on the amount of your investment. Class B shares are sold at NAV per share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class B shares are redeemed within seven years of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) will be

11

deducted from the redemption proceeds. Class C shares are sold at NAV per share without an initial sales charge. In addition, if Class C shares are redeemed within 12 calendar months of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% will be deducted from the redemption proceeds.

The redemption policies for each Series are identical. Your shares will be sold at the next NAV per share determined after your order to sell is received, less any applicable CDSC imposed and less such redemption fee or deferred sales charges as may be set by the Companies' Board from time to time. Refer to each Series' prospectus for more information regarding how to sell shares.

Shares of each Series may be exchanged for shares of the same class of other funds in the mutual fund complex, including those of the Company, at NAV per share at the time of exchange without a sales charge. If you exchange such shares for the same class of shares of another Series, any applicable CDSC and the date for automatic conversion of Class B to Class A shares will be calculated based on the date on which you acquired the original shares. After an exchange, at redemption, the CDSC will be calculated from the first day of the month after initial purchase, excluding any time shares were held in a money market fund. We may change the terms of any exchange privilege after giving you 60 days' notice. Exchanges of shares involve redemption of the shares of the Series you own and a purchase of shares of another Series. Shares are normally redeemed and purchased in the exchange transaction on the business day on which the transfer agent rece ives an exchange request that is in proper form, if the request is received by the close of the NYSE that day.

You may exchange your Series shares for shares of any other Series without a sales charge. If you exchange such shares for shares of another Series or if you receive Income Series shares in exchange for California Series pursuant to the Plan, any applicable CDSC and the date for automatic conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares will be calculated based on the date on which you acquired the original shares. After an exchange, at redemption, the CDSC will be calculated from the first day of the month after initial purchase, excluding any time shares were held in a money market fund. We may change the terms of any exchange privilege after giving you 60 days' notice.

Frequent trading of Series shares in response to short-term fluctuations in the market – also known as "market timing" – may make it very difficult to manage a Series' investments. When market timing occurs, the Series may have to sell portfolio securities to have the cash necessary to redeem the market timer's shares. This can happen at a time when it is not advantageous to sell any securities, so the Series' performance may be hurt. When large dollar amounts are involved, market timing can also make it difficult to use long-term investment strategies because we cannot predict how much cash a Series will have to invest. When, in the opinion of PI, such activity would have a disruptive effect on portfolio management, the Series reserve the right to refuse purchase orders and exchanges into the Series by any person, group or commonly controlled account. The decision may be based on dollar amount, volume, or frequency of trading. A S eries will notify a market timer of a rejection of an exchange or purchase order. There can be no assurance that a Series' procedures will be effective in limiting the practice of market timing in all cases.

Each Series will distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains to shareholders each year. Each Series will declare dividends, if any, annually.

FEES AND EXPENSES

The following tables describes the fees and expenses for each class of shares that shareholders may pay if they hold shares of the Series, as well as the projected unaudited pro forma fees and expenses of the Income Series that will continue in effect after consummation of the Reorganization if the Plan is approved. Future fees and expenses may be greater or lesser than those indicated below. The holding period for shares held by investors in the California Series will be counted in computing the holding period of shares subsequently held in Income Series after the Reorganization for purposes of determining any applicable CDSCs.

Expense Examples

These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in each Series before the Reorganization with the cost of investing in the Income Series after consummation of the Plan. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a Series for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year and that each Series' operating expenses remain the same, except for any contractual and service (12b-1) fee waivers for Class A and Class C shares that may be in effect, which are reflected in the one year period. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. The information in the ten years column reflects such conversions.

Full Redemption – Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on the above assumptions you would pay the following expenses if you redeemed your shares at the end of each period:

Class A Shares

	One Year		Three Years		Five Years		Ten Years

Both the full and no redemption examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested and that the percentage amounts listed under "Total annual fund operating expenses" remain the same in the years shown. These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to suggest actual or expected expenses, which may vary. The assumed return of 5% is not a prediction of, and does not represent, actual or expected performance of any fund.

2  Investors who purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are not subject to an initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC of 1% (the CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement or benefit plans affiliated with Prudential).

3  The Series' Distributor has contractually agreed to reduce its distribution and service (12b-1) fees for Class A and Class C shares to 0.25 of 1% and to .75% of 1%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class C shares of each Series through December 31, 2007.

4  The CDSC for Class B shares decreases by 1% annually to 1% in the fifth and sixth years and 0% in the seventh year. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares approximately seven years after purchase. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1% for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. No CDSC is charged after these periods.

5  The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50 of 1% of the average daily net assets up to and including $1 billion and .45 of 1% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion.

6  Beginning on or about November 17, 2006, if the value of your account is less than $2,500, the Series will deduct a $15 annual small balance account fee from your account. Thereafter, beginning in 2007, the $15 annual small balance account fee will be assessed during the 4th calendar quarter of each year. Any applicable CDSC on the shares redeemed to pay the $15 small balance account fee will be waived. The $15 small balance account fee will not be charged on: (i) accounts during the first six months from inception of the account, (ii) omnibus accounts, (iii) institutional accounts, (iv) group retirement plans, and (v) Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP") accounts or employee savings plan accounts.

Performance of the Series

A number of factors – including risk – can affect how each Series performs. The following bar charts show the performance of the California Series Class B shares and the Income Series Class A shares (each being the initial class of the respective Series prior to the multi-classing of such Series) for each full calendar year of the respective Series' operation. The first table below each bar chart shows each Series' best and worst performance during the periods included in the bar chart. The second table shows the average annual total returns before taxes for each class of each Series, as well as the average annual total returns after taxes on distributions and redemptions for Class B shares of the California Series and the Class A shares of the Income Series.

This information may help provide an indication of each Series' risks by showing changes in performance from year to year and by comparing each Series' performance with that of a broad-based securities index. The average annual figures reflect sales charges, the other figures do not, and would be lower if they did. Past performance, before and after taxes, does not mean that a fund will achieve similar results in the future.

REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATIONS

The trustees of the Company, including all of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Company (the "Independent Trustees"), have unanimously determined that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of the shareholders of the California Series, and that the interests of the shareholders of the California Series would not be diluted as a result of consummation of the Plan.

At a meeting held on June 8, 2006, the Investment Manager advised the trustees that, as of March 31, 2006, the California Series had net assets of approximately $91 million, while the Income Series had assets of approximately $178 million at that date. Accordingly, by merging the Series shareholders would enjoy a greater asset base over which fund expenses may be spread.

In addition, the Investment Manager advised the trustees that the Income Series had a significantly lower net expense ratio than the California Series. The trustees considered the Investment Manager's advice that if the Plan is approved, shareholders of the California Series, regardless of the class of shares they own, should realize an immediate reduction in the net annual operating expenses paid on their investment. Although there can be no assurance that operational savings will be realized. The Series' pay the Investment Manager the same management fee rate. The trustees also considered the costs of the Reorganization to be borne by the California Series.

In recommending approval of the Plan, the Investment Manager advised the trustees that the Series have an identical investment objective. The Series also have similar investment policies. The trustees were also advised that Income Series' Class A shares had significantly better investment performance than the California Series' Class A shares for the three month, one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods, although there can be no assurance the such performance trends will continue.

The Investment Manager also reported to the trustees that the Income Series has a higher twelve-month average yield than the California Series, although the California Series experienced higher yields than the Income Fund over the past six-month period. The Investment Manager explained that based upon a historical analysis this trend appears to be an anomaly. This trend previously occurred for several months in 2002, but never existed for an extended period of time. The trustees also noted that the Series' investment portfolios were similar.

The trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, after considering the matter, unanimously concluded that no dilution of value would result to the shareholders of the California Series or the Income Series from consummation of the Plan and that, for the following reasons, consummation of the Plan is in the best interests of the shareholders of the California Series and the Income Series:

•  The Series have identical investment objectives;

•  The Series have similar investment policies and restrictions (except with respect to investments in junk bonds);

•  The Income Series generally has experienced higher yields;

•  Shareholders of the California Series would realize a significant reduction in net operating expenses as result of the consummation of the Plan;

•  The California Series is significantly smaller than the Income Series;

•  Moving the smaller California Series into the larger Income Series may help the portfolio manager more efficiently manage the asset base in one Series; and

•  Shareholders of each Series could benefit from long-term economies of scale that may result from consummation of the Plan.

The trustees also considered that, in the opinion of counsel, the exchange of shares pursuant to the Plan would not result in a taxable gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes for shareholders of the California Series. The trustees were advised that the expense associated with the Reorganization would be borne by the California Series.

21

Consequently, the trustees of the California Series approved the Plan and recommend that shareholders of the California Series vote to approve the Plan.

For the reasons discussed above, the Board of Trustees of the Company unanimously recommend that you vote FOR the Plan.

If shareholders of the California Series do not approve the Plan, the Board will consider other possible courses of action for the Series, including, among others, consolidation of the Series with one or more affiliated or unaffiliated funds other than the Income Series, adding one or more new subadvisers or replacing the current subadviser with one or more subadvisers. In the event that the shareholders of a Series do not approve the Plan, the Investment Manager of that Series may consider recommending the liquidation of that Series in light of its past and anticipated future inability to attract sufficient assets to support long-term viability. A liquidation of a Series would result in taxable gains or losses for most shareholders of the California Series.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION

This is only a summary of the material terms of the Plan and certain other related information. You should read the actual form of the Plan attached hereto (Exhibit A).

Closing

If the shareholders of the California Series approve the Plan, the Reorganization will take place after various conditions are satisfied by the Company, on behalf of each Series, including the preparation of certain documents. The Company will determine a specific date for the actual Reorganization to take place (which is expected to be in the fourth quarter 2006 or first quarter 2007). This is called the "closing date." If shareholders of the California Series do not approve the Plan, the Reorganization will not take place and the Board of the California Series will consider alternative courses of actions, as described above.

If the shareholders of the California Series approve the Plan, the California Series will deliver to the Income Series all of the California Series' assets and Income Series will assume all of the liabilities of the California Series on the closing date. Income Series will issue to the California Series shares of Income Series of a value equal to the dollar value of the net assets delivered to the Income Series. The California Series will then distribute to its shareholders of record as of the close of business on the closing date, the Income Series shares in equivalent value and of equivalent class as such shareholder holds in the California Series. The California Series will subsequently terminate and dissolve and Income Series will be the surviving fund. The stock transfer books of the California Series will be permanently closed on the closing date. Requests to transfer or redeem assets allocated to the California Series may be submitted at any time before the close of the NYSE on the closing date and requests that are received in proper form prior to that time will be effected prior to the closing date.

To the extent permitted by law, the Company may amend the Plan without shareholder approval. The Company may also agree to terminate and abandon the Plan at any time before or, to the extent permitted by law, after the approval by shareholders of the California Series.

Expenses Resulting from the Reorganization

The expenses resulting from the Reorganization, including proxy solicitation costs, will be paid by the California Series. The portfolio securities of the California Series will be transferred in-kind to the Income Series. Accordingly, consummation of the Plan will entail little or no expenses in connection with portfolio restructuring. The Reorganization costs attributable to the California Series is currently estimated to be approximately $244,000, including approximately $149,000 in estimated proxy solicitation costs. The cost of the Reorganization is a non-recurring shareholder expense that is not included in any expense cap or fee waiver.

22

Tax Consequences of the Reorganization

The consummation of the Plan is intended to qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. It is a condition to each Series' obligation to complete the Plan that the Series will have received an opinion from Shearman & Sterling LLP, based upon representations made by each Series, and upon certain assumptions, substantially to the effect that:

1.  The acquisition by the Income Series of the assets of the California Series in exchange solely for voting shares of the Income Series and the assumption by the Income Series of the liabilities, if any, of the California Series, followed by the distribution of the Income Series shares received by the California Series pro rata to its shareholders, will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Income Series and the California Series each will be a "party to a reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;

2.  The shareholders of the California Series will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of all of their shares of the California Series solely for shares of the Income Series, as described in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the Plan;

3.  No gain or loss will be recognized by the California Series upon the transfer of its assets to the Income Series in exchange solely for voting shares of the Income Series and the assumption by the Income Series of the liabilities, if any, of the California Series. In addition, no gain or loss will be recognized by the California Series on the distribution of such shares to the shareholders of that Series (in liquidation of the California Series);

4.  No gain or loss will be recognized by the Income Series upon the acquisition of the assets of the California Series in exchange solely for voting shares of the Income Series and the assumption of the liabilities, if any, of the California Series;

5.  The Income Series' tax basis for the assets acquired from the California Series will be the same as the tax basis of these assets when held by the California Series immediately before the transfer, and the holding period of such assets acquired by the Income Series will include the holding period of such assets when held by the California Series;

6.  The California Series' shareholders' tax basis for the shares of the Income Series received by them pursuant to the reorganization will be the same as their tax basis in the California Series shares exchanged therefor; and

7.  The holding period of the Income Series shares received by the shareholders of the California Series will include the holding period of the California Series shares exchanged therefor, provided such Series shares were held as capital assets on the date of the exchange.

An opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, or the courts. If the Plan is consummated but fails to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the Reorganization would be treated as a taxable sale of assets by the California Series to the Income Series followed by a taxable liquidation of the California Series, and the shareholders of the California Series would recognize taxable gains or losses equal to the difference between their adjusted tax basis in the shares of the California Series and the fair market value of the shares of the Income Series received in exchange therefor. Neither Series has any capital loss carryforwards as of August 31, 2005.

Shareholders of the California Series should consult their tax advisers regarding the tax consequences to them of the Plan in light of their individual circumstances. In addition, because the foregoing discussion relates only to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a Plan, shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to state, local and foreign tax consequences to them, if any, of the Plan.

23

Characteristics of the Company's Shares

The Company was organized under the laws of Massachusetts as a business trust on May 18, 1984. It is registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment company. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares in separate series, currently designated as the California Series and the Income Series. The California Series and Income Series are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, divided into four classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same assets of such series and is identical in all respects except that (1) each class is subject to different (or no) sales charges and distribution and/or service fees (except for Class Z shares, which are not subject to any sales charges and distribution and/or service fees), which may affect performance, (2) each class has exclusive voting rights on any matter submitted to shareho lders that relates solely to its arrangement and has separate voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of one class differ from the interests of any other class, (3) each class has a different exchange privilege, and (4) only Class B shares have a conversion feature. Class Z shares are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors. In accordance with the Company's Declaration of Trust, the Board may authorize the creation of additional series and classes within a series, with such preferences, privileges, limitations and voting and dividend rights as the Board may determine.

Shares of the Company, when issued, are fully paid, nonassessable, fully transferable and redeemable at the option of the holder. Shares are also redeemable at the option of the Company under certain circumstances. Each share of each class of a series is equal as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except as noted above, and each class (with the exception of Class Z shares, which are not subject to any distribution or service fees) bears the expenses related to the distribution of its shares. Except for the conversion feature applicable to the Class B shares, there are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights. In the event of liquidation, each share of beneficial interest of each series is entitled to its portion of all of the Company's assets after all debt and expenses of the Company have been paid. Since Class B and Class C shares generally bear higher distribution expenses than Class A shares, the liquidation proceed s to shareholders of those classes are likely to be lower than to Class A shareholders and to Class Z shareholders, whose shares are not subject to any distribution and/or service fees. The Company's shares do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of Trustees.

The Company does not intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders unless otherwise required by law. The Company will not be required to hold meetings of shareholders unless, for example, the election of Trustees is required to be acted upon by shareholders under the 1940 Act. Shareholders have certain rights, including the right to call a meeting upon a vote of 10% of the Company's outstanding shares for the purpose of voting on the removal of one or more Trustees or to transact any other business. The Company will render assistance to those shareholders who call such a meeting.

The Declaration of Trust and the By-Laws of the Company are designed to make the Company similar in certain respects to a Massachusetts business corporation. The principal distinction between a Massachusetts business trust and a Massachusetts business corporation relates to shareholder liability. Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a business trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for the obligations of the Company, which is not the case with a corporation. The Declaration of Trust of the Company provides that shareholders shall not be subject to any personal liability for the acts or obligations of the Company and that every written obligation, contract, instrument or undertaking made by the Company shall contain a provision to the effect that the shareholders are not individually bound thereunder.

Appraisal Rights

Shareholders of the California Series are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Reorganization.

VOTING INFORMATION

Required Vote

Only shareholders of record of the California Series on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 7,715,557 shares of the California Series issued and outstanding.

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of the California Series entitled to be voted at the Meeting is required to constitute a quorum of the California Series at that Meeting. Shares beneficially held by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting will be counted for the purpose of calculating the votes cast on the issues before the Meeting. If a quorum is present the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the Meeting is necessary to approve the Plan. Each shareholder of the California Series will be entitled to one vote for each full share, and a fractional vote for each fractional share of the California Series held at the close of business on the Record Date.

Shares held by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting will be counted both for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and for calculating the votes cast on the issues before the Meeting. An abstention by a shareholder, either by proxy or by vote in person at a Meeting, is not a vote cast.

Under existing NYSE rules, it is not expected that brokers, banks and other nominees will be entitled to vote California Series' shares with respect to the Plan unless the beneficial owner gives specific instructions for such vote to the broker or other nominee. When a broker executes and returns a proxy card but is unable to cast a vote on a matter without specific instructions, and no specific instructions are given, the result is referred to as a "broker non-vote." The Company will forward proxy materials to record owners for any beneficial owners that such record owners may represent.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will count towards determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting. However, shares represented by broker non-votes and abstentions will not be voted for or against the Reorganization or any adjournment. Therefore, since approval of a Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting shares present at the Meeting, each broker non-vote and abstention would have the effect of a vote AGAINST the Plan or against an adjournment.

In the event that sufficient votes to obtain a quorum have not been obtained by the California Series, the California Series may request that one or more brokers submit a specific number of broker non-votes necessary in order to obtain the quorum. The California Series would only take such actions if the Series believed that it would have sufficient shareholder votes to approve the proposal at the Meeting. Therefore, shareholders who are against the proposal for the approval of the Plan should vote AGAINST the Plan or against adjournment since if such shareholders take no action they may be assisting in having the Plan approved.

Shareholders having more than one account in the California Series generally will receive a single proxy statement and a separate proxy card for each account. It is important to mark, sign, date and return all proxy cards received for all of your shares to be voted.

26

In the event that sufficient votes to approve the Plan are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment those proxies that they are entitled to vote FOR any such adjournment in their discretion. Shares represented by broker non-votes or abstentions will not be voted for or against adjournment. Because an adjournment requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the Meeting, each broker non-vote and abstention would have the effect of a vote AGAINST adjournment.

How to Vote

You can vote your shares in any one of four ways:

•  By mail, with the enclosed proxy card.

•  In person at the Meeting.

•  By phone.

•  Over the Internet.

If you simply sign and date the proxy but give no voting instructions, your shares will be voted in favor of the Plan and in accordance with the views of management upon any unexpected matters that come before the Meeting or adjournment of the Meeting.

Revocation of Proxies

Proxies, including votes given by telephone or over the Internet, may be revoked or changed at any time before they are voted either (i) by a written revocation received by the Secretary of the Company at Gateway Center Three, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102 within reasonable time prior to the Meeting, (ii) by properly submitting a later-dated proxy that is received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the day prior to the Meeting, or (iii) by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Merely attending the Meeting without voting, however, will not revoke a previously submitted proxy.

Solicitation of Voting Instructions

Voting instructions will be solicited principally by mailing this Prospectus/Proxy Statement and its enclosures, but instructions also may be solicited by telephone, facsimile, through electronic means such as email, or in person by officers or representatives of the Company. In addition, the Company has engaged MIS, an ADP Company, a professional proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. As the Meeting date approaches, you may receive a phone call from a representative of MIS if the Company has not yet received your vote. MIS may ask you for authority, by telephone, to permit MIS to execute your voting instructions on your behalf.

*  "Other Pooled Accounts" includes commingled insurance company separate accounts, commingled trust funds, non-U.S. mutual funds, and collateralized debt obligation vehicles.

**  "Other Accounts" includes single client accounts, managed accounts, and non-commingled, affiliated insurance accounts.

Compensation. PIM Fixed Income seeks to maintain a highly competitive compensation program designed to attract and retain outstanding investment professionals, which includes portfolio managers and research analysts, and to align the interests of its investment professionals with that of its clients and overall firm results. PIM Fixed Income's investment professionals are compensated through a combination of base salary, a performance-based annual cash incentive bonus and a long-term incentive grant. The long-term incentive grant is generally divided between stock options and restricted stock of Prudential Financial, providing investment professionals with an ownership stake. Investment professionals are all covered by the same general compensation structure although they manage multiple accounts. All investment compensation is paid by the investment adviser and not from any assets of the investment company or other managed accounts.

The salary component is based on market data relative to similar positions within the industry as well as the past performance, experience and responsibility of the individual.

Investment professional's incentive compensation payments, including their annual bonus and long-term incentive grant, are paid from an annual incentive pool. The size of the annual incentive pool is determined quantitatively based on three factors:

1)  investment performance (pre-tax) of portfolios on a 1-year and 3-year basis relative to appropriate market peer groups or benchmarks, such as the market-based benchmark specified in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement,

2)  PIM Fixed Income's business results as measured by financial indicators such as asset growth, operating margin and earnings growth, and

3)  market-based data indicating trends and levels of overall compensation in the asset management industry in a given year.

PIM Fixed Income regularly benchmarks its compensation program against leading asset management firms in the industry to monitor competitiveness.

Each investment professional's incentive compensation payment including the annual bonus and long-term incentive grant from the incentive pool is primarily determined by how significantly he/she contributes to delivering investment performance to clients consistent with portfolio objectives, guidelines, and risk parameters, as well as the individual's qualitative contributions to the organization.

Potential Conflicts of Interest. PIM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial and as such, is part of a full-scale global financial services organization, affiliated with insurance companies, investment advisers and broker/dealers. PIM's portfolio managers are often responsible for managing multiple accounts, including accounts of affiliates, institutional accounts, mutual funds, insurance company separate accounts and various pooled investment vehicles, such as commingled trust funds and unregistered funds. These affiliations and portfolio management

28

responsibilities may cause potential and actual conflicts of interest. PIM aims to conduct itself in a manner it considers to be the most fair and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to all of its clients, including the Series.

Management of multiple accounts and funds side-by-side may raise potential conflicts of interest relating to the allocation of investment opportunities, the aggregation and allocation of trades and cross trading. PIM has developed policies and procedures designed to address these potential conflicts of interest.

A Series may be prohibited from engaging in transactions with its affiliates even when such transactions may be beneficial for the Series. Certain affiliated transactions are permitted in accordance with procedures adopted by the Series and reviewed by the independent directors of the Series.

There may be restrictions imposed by law, regulation or contract regarding how much, if any, of a particular security PIM may purchase or sell on behalf of the Series, and as to the timing of such purchase or sale. Such restrictions may come into play as a result of PIM's relationship with Prudential Financial and its other affiliates. Also, PIM may come into possession of material, non-public information with respect to a particular issuer and as a result be unable to execute purchase or sale transactions in securities of such issuer for the Series. This can occur particularly with respect to fixed income investments because PIM has a bank loan unit that often invests in private loans that require the issuer to provide material, non-public information. PIM generally is able to avoid certain other potential conflicts due to the possession of material, non-public information by maintaining "Information Barriers" to prevent the transfer of thi s information between units of PIM as well as between affiliates and PIM. Additionally, in an effort to avoid potential conflicts of interest, PIM's fixed income unit has procedures in place to carefully consider whether or not to accept material, non-public information with respect to certain issuers, where appropriate.

Regulation may also prevent a Series from participating in transactions that could be viewed as a joint transaction of the adviser. PIM would not be able to purchase for the Series securities newly offered by an issuer if the proceeds from such new offering are to be used by the issuer to pay off a private loan that an affiliate of PIM may have made to the issuer.

Certain affiliates of PIM develop and may publish credit research that is independent from the research developed within PIM. PIM may hold different opinions on the investment merits of a given security, issuer or industry such that PIM may be purchasing or holding a security for the Series and an affiliated entity may be selling or recommending a sale of the same security or other securities of the issuer. Conversely, PIM may be selling a security for the Series and an affiliated entity may be purchasing or recommending a buy of the same security or other securities of the same issuer. In addition, PIM's affiliated broker-dealers or investment advisers may be executing transactions in the market in the same securities as the Series at the same time.

With respect to the management of the Series, PIM may cause securities transactions to be executed concurrently with authorizations to purchase or sell the same securities for other accounts managed by PIM, including proprietary accounts or accounts of affiliates. In these instances, the executions of purchases or sales, where possible, are allocated equitably among the various accounts (including the Series).

PIM may buy or sell, or may direct or recommend that another person buy or sell, securities of the same kind or class that are purchased or sold for the Series, at a price which may be different from the price of the securities purchased or sold for the Series. In addition, PIM may, at any time, execute trades of securities of the same kind or class in one direction for an account and trade in the opposite direction or not trade for any other account, including the Series, due to differences in investment strategy or client direction.

The fees charged to advisory clients by PIM may differ depending upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, the unit providing the advisory services, the particular strategy, the size of a portfolio being managed, the relationship with the client, the origination and service requirements and the asset class involved. Fees may also differ based on account type (e.g., commingled accounts, trust accounts, insurance company separate accounts, and corporate, bank or trust-owned life insurance products). Fees are negotiable so one client with similar investment objectives or goals may be paying a higher fee than another client. Fees paid by certain clients may also be higher due to performance-based fees which increase based on the performance of a portfolio above an established benchmark. Also, large clients generate more revenue for PIM than do smaller accounts. A portfolio manager may

29

be faced with a conflict of interest when allocating scarce investment opportunities given the benefit to PIM of favoring accounts that pay a higher fee or generate more income for PIM. To address this conflict of interest, PIM has adopted allocation policies as well as supervisory procedures that are intended to fairly allocate investment opportunities among competing client accounts.

PIM and its affiliates manage certain funds that are subject to incentive compensation on a side-by-side basis with the Series. PIM and/or certain of its affiliates may have an interest in such funds. PIM and its affiliates have implemented policies and procedures to address potential conflicts of interest arising out of such side-by-side management. For example, the Series may at times be precluded from taking positions overweighted versus an index in securities and other instruments in which one or more of the funds hold short positions. The Series may at times be precluded from taking short positions in securities in which one or more of the funds hold positions overweighted versus an index. Lending, borrowing and other financing opportunities with respect to securities for which the market is paying a premium rate over normal market rates and for which there may be limited additional demand will be allocated to the Series prior to alloca ting the opportunities to such funds.

Conflicts of interest may also arise regarding proxy voting. A committee of senior business representatives together with relevant regulatory personnel oversees the proxy voting process and monitors potential conflicts of interest relating to proxy voting.

Conflicts of interest may also arise in connection with securities holdings. Prudential Financial, the general account of The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("PICA"), PIM's proprietary accounts and accounts of other affiliates (collectively the "Affiliated Accounts") may at times have various levels of financial or other interests, including but not limited to portfolio holdings, in companies whose securities may be held or purchased or sold in PIM's client accounts, including the Series. These financial interests may at any time be in potential or actual conflict or may be inconsistent with positions held or actions taken by PIM on behalf of the Series. These interests can include loan servicing, debt or equity financing, services related to advising on merger and acquisition issues, strategic corporate relationships or investments and the offering of investment advice in various forms. Thus PIM may invest Series assets in the secu rities of companies with which PIM or an affiliate of PIM has a financial relationship, including investment in the securities of companies that are advisory clients of PIM.

It is anticipated that there will be situations in which the interests of the Series in a portfolio company may conflict with the interests of one or more Affiliated Accounts or other client accounts managed by PIM or its affiliates. This may occur because Affiliated Accounts hold public and private debt and equity securities of a large number of issuers and may invest in some of the same companies as the Series but at different levels in the capital structure. Investment by Affiliated Accounts at different levels to that of the Series in the capital structure of a portfolio company presents inherent conflicts of interest between the Affiliated Accounts and the Series. For example, in the event of restructuring or insolvency, the holders of senior debt may exercise remedies and take other actions that are not in the interest of or are adverse to holders of junior debt. Similarly, an Affiliated Account might hold secured debt of an issuer who se public unsecured debt is held by the Series. Such conflicts may also exist among client accounts managed by PIM or its affiliates. While these conflicts cannot be eliminated, PIM has implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure that, notwithstanding these conflicts, investments of a Series are originated and managed in its best interests.

Portfolio managers may advise Affiliated Accounts. In addition, PIM's portfolio manager(s) may have a financial interest in the accounts they advise, either directly or indirectly. To address potential conflicts of interest, PIM has procedures, including supervisory review procedures, designed to ensure that, including to the extent that client accounts, including the Series, are managed differently from Affiliated Accounts, each of the client accounts, and each Affiliated Account, is managed in a manner that is consistent with its investment objectives, investment strategies and restrictions, as well as with PIM's fiduciary obligations.

Potential conflicts of interest may exist in instances in which PIM or its affiliates determine that a specific transaction in a security is appropriate for a specific account, including the Affiliated Accounts, based upon numerous factors including, among other things, investment objectives, investment strategies or restrictions, while other accounts (including the Affiliated Accounts) may hold or take the opposite position in the security in accordance with

30

those accounts' investment objectives, investment strategies and restrictions (these conflicting positions and transactions, where arising from PIM's advisory activities or where PIM is otherwise aware of them, are collectively referred to as "Differing Positions"). PIM periodically conducts reviews of these accounts and assesses the appropriateness of these Differing Positions.

Because of the substantial size of PICA's general account, trading by PICA's general account in certain securities, particularly certain fixed income securities, may result in market changes in response to trades. Although PIM expects that PICA's general account will execute transactions that will move a market in a security infrequently, and generally in response to unusual market or issuer events, the execution of these transactions could have an adverse effect on transactions for or positions held by other clients, including the Series.

PIM follows Prudential Financial's policies on business ethics, personal securities trading by investment personnel, and information barriers and has adopted a code of ethics, allocation policies, supervisory procedures and conflicts of interest policies, among other policies and procedures, which are designed to ensure that clients are not harmed by these potential or actual conflicts of interests. However, there is no guarantee that such policies and procedures will detect and ensure avoidance, disclosure or mitigation of each and every situation in which a conflict may arise.

Exhibit A

FORM OF PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "Plan") is made as of this 7th day of August, 2006, by Dryden California Municipal Fund (the "Company"), a business trust organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with its principal place of business at Gateway Center Three, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102, on behalf of the California Series, a series of the Company (the "Acquired Fund"), and the California Income Series, a series of the Company (the "Acquiring Fund"). Together, the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund are referred to as the "Funds."

The Plan has been structured with the intention that the transactions contemplated hereby qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The reorganization (hereinafter referred to as the "Reorganization") will consist of (i) the acquisition by the Acquiring Fund, of all of the property, assets and goodwill of the Acquired Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, if any, in exchange solely for full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, of the Acquiring Fund (as defined in Section 1(b) as the "Acquiring Fund Shares"); (ii) the distribution after the Closing Date (as provided in Section 3), of Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund according to their respective interests in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund; and (iii) the dissolution of the Acquired Fund as soon as practicable after the Closing (as defined in Section 3), all upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan hereinafter set forth.

In order to consummate the Plan, the following actions shall be taken by the Company, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, and by the Company, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund:

1.  Sale and Transfer of Assets of the Acquired Fund in Exchange for Shares of the Acquiring Fund and Assumption of the Acquired Fund's Liabilities, if any, and Liquidation and Termination of Acquired Fund.

(a)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, and on the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, the Company, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, shall sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to the Company, for the benefit of the Acquiring Fund, at the Closing all of the Acquired Fund's then existing assets, and assume substantially all of the Acquired Fund's liabilities. The Acquired Fund shall also retain any and all rights that it may have over and against any person that may have accrued up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date but only to the extent any liability associated with such rights was not assumed by the Acquiring Fund.

(b)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, the Company, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, shall at the Closing deliver to the Company, for the benefit of the Acquired Fund, the number of shares (the "Acquiring Fund Shares") of a Class of the Acquiring Fund determined by dividing the net asset value allocable to a share of such Class of the Acquired Fund by the net asset value allocable to a share of the corresponding Class of the Acquiring Fund, and multiplying the result thereof by the number of outstanding shares of the applicable Class of the Acquired Fund, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on the Closing Date, all such values to be determined in the manner and as of the time set forth in Section 2 hereof; and assume all of the Acquired Fund's liabilities, if any, as set forth in this Section 1(b). Except as otherwise provided herein, the Acquiring Fund will assume all debt s, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Acquired Fund of whatever kind or nature, whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, whether or not determinable as of the Closing Date and whether or not specifically referred to in this Plan; provided, however, that the Company agrees to utilize its best efforts to cause the Acquired Fund to discharge all of the known debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Acquired Fund prior to the Closing Date.

(c)  As soon after the Closing Date as is conveniently practicable, but in any event within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Company on behalf of the Acquired Fund, shall distribute pro rata to Acquired Fund shareholders

A-1

of record, determined as of the close of business on the Closing Date, the Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to this Section with each Acquired Fund shareholder receiving shares of the same Class or Classes of the Acquiring Fund as such shareholder holds of the Acquired Fund, and then shall terminate. Such liquidation and distribution shall be accomplished by the establishment of accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund and noting in such accounts the names of the former Acquired Fund Shareholders and the types and amounts of Acquiring Fund Shares that former Acquired Fund shareholders are due based on their respective holdings of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Fractional Acquiring Fund Shares shall be carried to the second decimal place. The Company shall not issue certificates representing the Acquiring Fund shares in connection with such exchange. All issued and out standing shares of the Acquired Fund will be simultaneously cancelled on the books of the Acquired Fund.

(d)  Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of Company's transfer agent. Acquiring Fund Shares will be issued in the manner described in Company's then-effective registration statement.

(e)  Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares in exchange for shares of the Acquired Fund in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares being exchanged on the books of the Acquired Fund as of that time shall be paid by the person to whom such shares are to be issued as a condition to the registration of such transfer.

2.  Valuation.

Notes to Pro-Forma Financial Statements for the Reorganization

(unaudited)

1.Basis of Combination — The Pro-Forma Statement of Assets and Liabilities, including the Pro-Forma Schedule of Investments at February 28, 2006 and the related Pro-Forma Statement of Operations (“Pro-Forma Statements”) for the period ended February 28, 2006, reflect the accounts of California Series and California Income Series, each a “Series.”

The Pro Forma Statements give effect to the proposed transfer of all assets and liabilities of California Series in exchange for shares in California Income Series. The Pro Forma Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of each Series included in their respective Statement of Additional Information. As of February 28, 2006, all of the securities held by the California Series would comply with the compliance guidelines and investment restrictions of the California Income Series.

2.Shares of Beneficial Interest — The pro-forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional Class A, B, C, and Z shares of California Income Series, which would have been issued on February 28, 2006, in connection with the proposed reorganization. Shareholders of California Series would become shareholders of California Income Series, receiving shares of California Income Series equal to the value of their holdings in California Series. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued has been calculated based on the February 28, 2006 net assets of California Series and California Income Series, Reorganization expenses and the net asset values per share as follows:

California Income Series Additional Shares Issued		California Series Net Assets 2/28/06		Adjustments*			California Income Series Net Asset Value Per Share After Reorganization 2/28/06
Class A	7,345,006	$	80,772,445	$	(210,670	)	$	10.97
Class B	921,347	$	10,131,365	$	(26,425	)	$	10.97
Class C	103,784	$	1,141,292	$	(2,977	)	$	10.97
Class Z	136,982	$	1,507,079	$	(3,928	)	$	10.97

*  Reflects the estimated Reorganization expenses of $244,000 attributable to California Series.

3.Pro Forma Operations — The Pro Forma Statement of Operations assumes similar rates of gross investment income for the investments of each Series.  Accordingly, the combined gross investment income is equal to the sum of each Series’ gross investment income.  Certain expenses have been adjusted to reflect the expected expenses of the combined entity.  The pro-forma investment management fees and plan of distribution fees of the combined Series are based on the fee schedule in effect for California Income Series at the combined level of average net assets for the twelve months ended February 28, 2006.  The Pro Forma Statement of Operations does not include the effect of any realized gains or losses, or transaction fees incurred in connection with the realignment of the portfolio.

4.     Security Valuation — The Series 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 traded via Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (NOCP) on the day of valuation, or if there was no NOCP, at the last sale price. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) in consultation with the subadvisor, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market marker.

F-9

Futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Series’ normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation of securities some of the factors influencing the valuation include, the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of 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.

Short-term securities which mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotations.

The Series’ valuation policies are substantially identical and there are no differences in the terms of how each Series values its portfolio securities.

5.Estimates — The preparation of 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.

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

PART C

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION

Article V, Section 5.3 of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees shall provide for indemnification by the Trust (or the appropriate series thereof) of every person who is, or has been, a Trustee or officer of the Trust against all liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or having been a Trustee or officer and against amounts paid or incurred by him in the settlement thereof, in such manner as the Trustees may provide from time to time in the By-Laws. Section 5.1 also provides that Trustees, officers, employees or agents of the Trust shall not be subject to any personal liability to any other person other than the Trust or applicable series thereof or its shareholders, in connection with Trust property or the property of any series thereof or the affairs of the Trust or any series thereof, except liability arising from bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his of her duties. Section 5.1 also provides that the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless each shareholder from and against all claims and shall reimburse such shareholder for all expenses reasonably related thereto.

As permitted by Sections 17(h) and (i) of the 1940 Act and pursuant to Article XI of the Fund’s By-Laws (Exhibit (b) to the Registration Statement), in certain cases, any individual who is a present or former officer, Trustee, employee or agent of the Registrant or who serves or has served another trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise in one of such capacities at the request of the Registrant (a representative of the Trust), shall be indemnified by the Registrant against certain liabilities in connection with the Registrant provided that such representative acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions including liabilities to the Registrant or to its shareholders to which such representative would otherwise be subject by reason of misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties. As permitted by Section 17(i) of the 1940 Act, and pursuant to Section 10 of the Distribution Agreement (Exhibit (e) to the Registration Statement), in certain cases the Distributor of the Registrant may be indemnified against liabilities which it may incur, except liabilities arising from bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties, willful misfeasance or reckless disregard of duties. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act) may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1940 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such Trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1940 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Pursuant and subject to the provisions of Article XI of the Registrant’s By-Laws, the Registrant shall indemnify each representative of the Trust against, or advance the expenses of a representative of the Trust for, the amount of any deductible provided in any liability insurance policy maintained by the Registrant. The Registrant has purchased an insurance policy insuring its officers and Trustees against liabilities, and certain costs of defending claims against such officers and Trustees, to the extent such officers and Trustees are not found to have committed conduct constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of their duties. The insurance policy also insures the Registrant against the cost of indemnification payments to officers and Trustees under certain circumstances.

Section 9 of the Management Agreement (Exhibit (d)(1) to the Registration Statement) and Section 4 of the Subadvisory Agreement (Exhibit (d)(2) to the Registration Statement) limit the liability of PI and PIM, respectively, to liabilities arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of their respective duties or from reckless disregard by them of their respective obligations and duties under the agreements. Section 9 of the Management Agreement also holds PI liable for losses resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services.

The Registrant hereby undertakes that it will apply the indemnification provisions of its Declaration of Trust, By-Laws and the Distribution Agreement in a manner consistent with Release No. 11330 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1940 Act so long as the interpretations of Sections 17(h) and 17(i) of such Act remain in effect and are consistently applied.
