Series objective

The investment objective of the Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc. (PILP)/Institutional Money Market Series is high current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. There can be no assurance that the Series will achieve its investment objective.

 

Yields will fluctuate from time to time, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

As of March 31, 2007, the gross annualized operating expenses are 0.36% and 0.24% for Class A and I shares, respectively. As of March 31, 2007, the annualized operating expenses net of a contractual reduction through July 31, 2008 are 0.20% and 0.15% for Class A and I shares, respectively. These figures include the net operating expenses of the underlying portfolios in which the Fund invests. Such expenses were calculated using a weighted average of the net operating expenses of each underlying fund and when annualized amounted to less than 0.01% for each share class.

Investment Subadviser’s Report

 

Prudential Investment Management, Inc.

 

Record string of 17 short-term interest rate hikes halted

Money market yields rose during the Series’ fiscal year that began April 1, 2006, as Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers continued to increase short-term interest rates, at least during the early months of the reporting period. Afterwards when monetary policy was on hold, changes in money market yields reflected uncertainty about the outlook for interest rates and prospects for economic growth in the United States.

 

We maintained a diversified portfolio of money market instruments such as commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper, certificates of deposit, adjustable-rate securities and repurchase agreements. Our strategy aimed to keep the Fund flexible enough to take advantage of changing investment opportunities that emerged as the Fed shifted from a tightening mode to what was widely viewed in the financial markets to be a more neutral tone in monetary policy. For its fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the Series Class A and Class I shares provided competitive 7-day current yields and their net asset values remained at $1.00 per share.

 

Prior to the start of the reporting period, the target for the federal funds rate had already been increased 15 times as part of the Fed’s latest effort to gradually slow economic growth enough to tame inflationary pressures, which were aggravated by rising oil prices. Money market yields rose in the first three months of the reporting period because market participants anticipated the increases in short-term rates that occurred in May and June 2006, which lifted the target for the federal funds rate from 4.75% to 5.25%. During these months, we positioned the Series’ weighted average maturity (WAM) in line with the average comparable fund by purchasing securities that matured around the time of the Federal Open Market Committee meetings. When the securities matured, we reinvested their proceeds in higher-yielding money market instruments that became available after the Fed tightened monetary policy.

 

U.S. economy lost steam as housing market cooled

Economic growth moderated in the spring of 2006 as higher rates began to weaken the housing market. It continued to slow during the summer, inflationary pressures eased, and Fed policymakers left short-term rates unchanged when they met in August and September. Money market yields declined, and interest-rate futures began to price in the possibility of a short-term rate cut in the first quarter of 2007. With the outlook for easier monetary policy, the slope of the money market yield curve flattened and eventually inverted as yields on securities maturing in one year declined to such an extent that they fell below yields on securities maturing in three months.

Strategy shifted amid changing outlook for rates, economy

For the remainder of the reporting period, the target for the federal funds rate stayed at 5.25%. A mixed bag of economic data sometimes suggested the Fed needed to ease monetary policy soon to strengthen the economy, but at other times suggested the economy did not need a helping hand from the Fed. During times when rate-cut hopes led to lower money market yields, we favored debt securities maturing in three months or less because it did not make sense to lock in lower yields on longer-term money market securities. Such was the case in the autumn of 2006 when weak data on residential construction and manufacturing were among reports that showed the economy was continuing to lose steam.

 

By contrast, data released late in the reporting period suggested the housing market was starting to stabilize. This, and remarks by Fed policymakers reiterating concern about the build–up of inflation in the economy, put upward pressure on money market yields. We took advantage of this development by purchasing securities maturing in six months that lengthened the Series’ WAM until it was more in line with its competitive average.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

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

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2006, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2007.

 

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

 

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

 

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

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, management investment company. The Fund consists of two series—the Institutional Money Market Series (the “Series”) and the Liquid Assets Series. The Liquid Assets Series has not yet commenced operations. The investment objective of the Series is high current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. The Series invests primarily in money market instruments maturing in 13 months or less whose ratings are within the 2 highest ratings categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if not rated, are of comparable quality. The ability of the issuers of the securities held by the Series to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or region.

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

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

 

Securities Valuation: Portfolio securities of the Series 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 any discount or premium. If the amortized cost method is determined not to represent fair value, the fair value shall be determined by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

 

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

 

The Series may hold up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those that are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities, sometimes referred to as private placements, are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above.

 

Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with U.S. financial institutions, it is the Series’ policy that its custodian or designated sub custodians, as the case may be under triparty repurchase agreements, take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase agreement exceeds one business day, the value of collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure adequacy of the collateral. If

the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Series may be delayed or limited.

 

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

 

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to the respective classes) and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.

 

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

 

Dividends and Distributions: The Series declares daily dividends from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains or losses. Payment of dividends is made monthly. Dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

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

 

Note 2. Agreements

 

The Fund has a management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”). Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisor’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). The

subadvisory agreement provides that PIM will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI continues to have responsibility for all investment advisory services pursuant to the management agreement and supervises PIM’s performance of such services. PI pays for the services of PIM, the cost of compensation of officers of the Series, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Series. The Series bears all other costs and expenses.

 

The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .20 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Series. PI has contractually agreed to waive a portion (.05 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets) of its management fee, which amounted to $861,306 ($.0004 per share) for the year ended March 31, 2007. The Series is not required to reimburse PI for such waiver.

 

The Series has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Series’ Class A and Class I shares. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class A shares, pursuant to the plan of distribution at an annual rate of .12 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets of the Class A shares. PIMS has contractually agreed to waive a portion (.07 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets of the Class A shares) of the distribution fee, which amounted to $514,209 ($.0005 per Class A share) for the year ended March 31, 2007. The Series is not required to reimburse PIMS for such waiver. The Class A distribution fee is accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class I shares of the Series.

 

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

 

Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

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

 

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

Note 4. Expense Subsidy

 

PI has contractually agreed to subsidize operating expenses so that total Series operating expenses do not exceed .20% and .15% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class I shares, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2007, such reimbursement amounted to $701,156 ($.0004 per share for Class A and I shares; 0.04% of average net assets).

 

Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information

 

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In order to present undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized capital gain on investments and paid-in capital on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gains on investments. For the year ended March 31, 2007, the adjustment was to decrease accumulated net realized gain on investments and increase undistributed net investment income by $9,496 due to redesignation of distributions between ordinary income and short-term capital gains. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this change.

 

For the years ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the tax character of dividends paid, as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets were $88,288,425 and $52,673,390, respectively, from ordinary income.

 

As of March 31, 2007, the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis was $1,744,423 from ordinary income (includes a timing difference of $1,725,977 for dividends payable).

 

The Series elected to treat post-October capital losses of $174 as having been incurred in the following fiscal year.

 

Note 6. Capital

 

The Series offers Class A and Class I shares. Class A shareholders of the Series who satisfy the minimum purchase requirements to purchase Class I shares will have their Class A shares exchanged for Class I shares on a quarterly basis.

 

There are 10 billion authorized shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, divided into 5 billion authorized Class A shares and 5 billion authorized Class I shares.

As of March 31, 2007 Prudential owned 14,812,860 Class A shares and 295,186,808 Class I shares.

Note 7. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of

Cont’d

 

tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The impact of the tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded in the year in which they arise. On December 22, 2006 the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the effective date until the last net asset value calculation in the first required financial reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact, if any, in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

 

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

Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc./Institutional Money Market Series   27

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc—Institutional Money Market Series:

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc—Institutional Money Market Series (the “Series”), including the portfolio of investments, as of March 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the year ended March 31, 2003 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, whose report dated May 15, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate audit procedures when replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc—Institutional Money Market Series as of March 31, 2007, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

THE PRUDENTIAL MUTUAL FUNDS

AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY

on

Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Accountants

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

 

  •  

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

 

  •  

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

 

  •  

periodic meetings with the accounting firm.

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

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

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

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

  •  

Attestation Reports

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

Tax Services

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

Other Non-audit Services

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

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

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

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