LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Enterprise Fund, covering the 12-month period from October 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006.

After more than two years of steady and gradual increases, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") held short-term interest rates unchanged at its meetings in August and September.The Fed has indicated that the U.S. economy has moved to a slower-growth phase of its cycle, as evidenced by softening housing markets in many regions of the United States.Yet, energy prices have moderated from record highs, calming fears that the economy may fall into a full-blown recession.

Most sectors of the U.S. stock market rallied in the wake of the Fed's announcement, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average approached its all-time high, set more than six years ago. Recently, for the first time in several years, large-cap stocks generally have produced higher returns than their small-cap counterparts, which some analysts believe may signify a fundamental shift in investors’ attitudes toward risk.As always, we encourage you to talk with your financial advisor to ensure that your portfolio remains properly diversified across all investment types based on your current financial needs and future investment goals.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund's portfolio manager.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

  Stephen E. Canter
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

James D. Padgett, CFA, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier Enterprise Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006, the fund produced total returns of 17.21% for Class A shares, 16.31% for Class B shares, 16.34% for Class C shares and 16.86% for Class T shares.1 In comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), produced a total return of 5.88% .2

Although small-cap growth stocks posted positive returns for the reporting period overall, market conditions weakened during the second and third quarters of 2006 as investors became more concerned about inflation and future economic growth.The fund produced substantially higher returns than the Index, as our security selection strategy generated especially attractive results in the industrials, technology, health care and materials sectors.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The fund seeks capital appreciation.To pursue this goal,the fund normally invests at least 65% of its assets in the stocks of micro-cap companies. Micro-cap companies typically are small (under $650 million market cap) and relatively unknown companies.The fund may also invest in companies with larger market capitalizations, if the portfolio manager believes they represent better prospects for capital appreciation.Although the fund will normally invest in common stocks of U.S.-based companies, it may invest up to 30% of its total assets in foreign securities.The fund's stock investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible securities, including those purchased in initial public offerings.The fund may also invest in securities issued by exchange-traded investment companies, which are designed to track a specific equity index.

We seek investment opportunities in companies with fundamental strengths that indicate the potential for strong profit growth.We focus on individual stock selection, building the portfolio from the bottom up, searching one by one for companies that display one or more of the following characteristics: strong management team; competitive industry position; focused business plan; product or market opportunities; strong business prospects; and the ability to benefit from changes in technology, regulations or industry sector trends.

The Fund 3


D I S C U S S I O N O F F U N D P E R F O R M A N C E (continued)

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

Small-cap growth stocks encountered both positive and negative influences over the reporting period. During the first half of the reporting period, robust economic growth and low inflation helped support investor sentiment, and small-cap stock prices advanced strongly. In contrast, investors grew more risk-averse during the second half of the reporting period, when signs of accelerating inflation and slower economic growth began to emerge. As a result, small-cap growth stocks gave back all of the reporting period's previous gains at various low points in mid 2006. Fortunately, inflationary pressures appeared to wane toward the end of the summer, sparking a rally that allowed the fund's benchmark to end the reporting period in a solidly positive territory.

We are pleased that the fund produced consistently strong relative returns in this rapidly changing market environment, which we believe is testament to the efficacy of our disciplined, bottom-up investment process. The fund achieved particularly attractive results in the industrials sector, where outsourcer PeopleSupport more than doubled in value as U.S. companies increasingly turned to the company's Phillipines-based pool of well educated, English speaking call center workers.

The fund also scored above-average gains in the technology sector, which was led higher by printed circuit board maker TTM Technologies and Applied Films, a supplier of thin film deposition equipment used in flat panel displays, solar energy cells and other products. Applied Films was acquired during the reporting period by large-cap technology equipment maker Applied Materials. Among health care companies, medical imaging systems manufacturer Hologic's digital mammography equipment gained broader acceptance in the medical community, boosting revenues. Finally, in the materials sector, copper and gold producer Northgate Minerals gained value as commodity prices rose in the growing global economy.

Although disappointments during the reporting period proved to be relatively mild, our stock selection strategy generally fell short of the benchmark in the financials sector, eroding some of the fund's returns. In the consumer discretionary sector, casual restaurant chain Cosi disappointed investors when it reported minor delays in the roll-out of its store development program.The stock price of EVCI Career Colleges suffered when state regulators expressed concern over admission practices at the company's New York campus. Among energy companies, exploration-and-production companies Toreodor Resources and Gasco

4


Energy were hurt by moderating energy prices. Finally, accounting restatements and delayed regulatory filings at cable television equipment producer Terayon Communications undermined its shares.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that we have recently established positions in exchange-traded funds that give the fund exposure to the biotechnology industry with less company-specific risk. We believe that this is a prudent way to participate in a potential recovery of biotechnology stocks, which comprise a meaningful portion of the fund's benchmark.

What is the fund's current strategy?

Although the outlook for small-cap stocks has grown cloudier due to signs of a possible economic slowdown, we have continued to find attractive opportunities among individual companies that, in our judgment, have continued to enjoy strong business fundamentals. During times like these, we believe portfolio managers can do well by searching for small companies that are driven more by that company's unique business fundamentals, whereas larger companies may be more closely tied to macro-economic factors. In addition, we believe small companies should continue to benefit from the recently increased merger and acquisition activity as larger suitors look to leverage strong balance sheets to acquire smaller companies and improve their growth profiles. Already, we have had several portfolio holdings that were either acquired or taken private in transactions that generated meaningful price premiums for their shareholders.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into
consideration the maximum initial sales charges in the case of Class A and Class T shares, or the
applicable contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and
Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance
is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon
redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Since the fund's inception, a significant portion of the fund's performance has been
attributable to positive returns from its initial public offering (IPO) investments. There
can be no guarantee that IPOs will have or continue to have a positive effect on the
fund's performance. IPOs tend to have a reduced effect on performance as a fund's asset
base grows.

FUND PERFORMANCE

Source: Lipper Inc.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

Since the fund's inception, a significant portion of the fund's performance has been attributable to positive returns from its initial public offering (IPO) investments.There can be no guarantee that IPOs will have or continue to have a positive effect on the fund's performance. IPOs tend to have a reduced effect on performance as a fund's asset base grows. The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares of Dreyfus Premier Enterprise Fund on 11/27/00 (inception date) to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index") on that date. For comparative purposes, the value of the Index on 11/30/00 is used as the beginning value on 11/27/00. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund's performance shown in the line graph takes into account the maximum initial sales charges on Class A and Class T shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on Class B shares and all other applicable fees and expenses on all classes.The Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.The Index does not take account charges, fees and other expenses which can contribute to the Index potentially outperforming or underperforming the fund. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund's prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

Review your fund's expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus Premier Enterprise Fund from April 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment             
assuming actual returns for the six months ended September 30, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class T 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 11.45    $ 15.45    $ 15.31    $ 12.92 
Ending value (after expenses)    $960.80    $956.80    $956.90    $959.00 

  COMPARING YOUR FUND's EXPENSES
WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)

Using the SEC's method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund's expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment             
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended September 30, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class T 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 11.76    $ 15.87    $ 15.72    $ 13.26 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,013.39    $1,009.28    $1,009.43    $1,011.88 

Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 2.33% for Class A, 3.15% for Class B, 3.12% for Class C and 2.63% for Class T; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

shareholder becomes eligible to make subsequent purchases of Class A or Class T shares of the fund at NAV in such account.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sale price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Investments in registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly

24


affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the fund's Board of Trustees. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR's and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate.

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

The Fund 25


N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S (continued)

(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, amortization of discount and premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund's policy, that at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by Dreyfus.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund would bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as "affiliated" in the Act.

(e) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").To the extent that net realized capital

26


gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

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 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.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

At September 30, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $30,563,431, undistributed capital gains $15,749,052 and unrealized appreciation $23,558,544.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, were as follows: ordinary income $9,174,593 and $4,052,763 and long-term capital gains $11,758,680 and $14,535,224, respectively.

The Fund 27


N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S (continued)

During the period ended September 30, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for net operating losses, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $5,604,122 and decreased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $100 million unsecured line of credit primarily to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowing. During the period ended September 30, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the line of credit.

NOTE 3—Investment Advisory Fee, Sub-Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a Management Agreement with Dreyfus, the fund pays Dreyfus a monthly base fee equal to 1/12th of 1.25% of daily net assets averaged over the most recent month. Each month, before the base fee is paid, the base fee may be increased, or decreased, by a performance adjustment, at the monthly rate of 1/12th of .10% of daily net assets averaged over the past rolling 36 months for each percentage point by which the investment performance of the fund exceeds, or is exceeded by, the performance of the fund's reference index, the Russell 2000 Growth Index over the past rolling 36 months.The maximum performance adjustment for any month cannot exceed a monthly rate of 1/12th of .80% of daily net assets averaged over the past rolling 36 months.The minimum performance adjustment for any month cannot exceed a monthly rate of 1/12th of (.80%) of daily net assets averaged over the past rolling 36 months. The base fee, as adjusted, is accrued daily. During the period ended September 30, 2006, the management fee accrued by the fund (i.e., the sum of each monthly accrual of the base fee as adjusted by the performance adjustment), amounted to 1.81% of the funds average daily net assets, on an annualized basis.

28


In a September 7, 2006 Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), Dreyfus was ordered to discontinue calculating the performance adjustment to the management fee under the methodology historically used, and to adjust the calculation in conformity with Section 205(b)(2) and Rule 205-(b)(2) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Due to prior discussions with the Commission Dreyfus had already adjusted the method used to calculate the management fee. In addition, Dreyfus had agreed to reimburse the fund for any overcharge resulting from the old methodology, plus inter-est.As a result, on November 28, 2005, the manager made a capital contribution of $1,301,858 to the fund, which represented approximately 0.52% of the fund's net assets on that date.The capital contribution,which is reflected in the fund's Paid-in-Capital and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, reflected an adjustment in the methodology used to calculate the management fee of the fund. Dreyfus believes that this matter does not have a material adverse financial impact on the fund or negatively impacts Dreyfus's ability to render investment services to the fund.

Pursuant to a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with Founders, the sub-investment advisory fee is payable monthly by Dreyfus. Dreyfus pays Founders a sub-investment advisory fee equal to one-half of the management fee that Dreyfus receives from the fund.

During the period ended September 30, 2006, the Distributor retained $47,869 and $510 from commissions earned on sales of the fund's Class A and Class T shares, respectively, and $88,889 and $11,348 from contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of the fund's Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the "Plan") adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an annual rate of .75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares, and .25% of the average daily net assets of Class T shares. During the period ended September 30, 2006, Class B, Class C and Class T shares were charged $355,647, $527,606 and $5,803, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

The Fund 29


N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S (continued)

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or industry professional) in respect of these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended September 30, 2006, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares were charged $382,643, $118,549, $175,869 and $5,803, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended September 30, 2006, the fund was charged $165,950 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

The fund compensates Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Dreyfus under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. During the period ended September 30, 2006, the fund was charged $31,696 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended September 30, 2006, the fund was charged $4,374 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $418,236, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $69,726, shareholder services plan fees $54,540, custodian fees, $7,672, chief compliance officer fees $2,274 and transfer agency per account fees $24,619.

(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended September 30, 2006, amounted to $323,986,785 and $333,773,878, respectively.

At September 30, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $309,935,865; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $23,558,544, consisting of $40,405,104 gross unrealized appreciation and $16,846,560 gross unrealized depreciation.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management.Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the custodian as of September 30, 2006 and confirmation of securities not held by the custodian by correspondence with others.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 Dreyfus Premier Enterprise Fund at September 30, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

  INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL
OF THE FUND's MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Company held on July 11-12, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval of the fund's Management Agreement, as amended and restated, for another one year term, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services, and of the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, as amended and restated, between the Manager and Founders Asset Management LLC ("Founders"), pursuant to which Founders provides day-to-day management of the fund's portfolio subject to the Manager's oversight.The Board members, none of whom are "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Company, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to the fund's Management Agreement, and by Founders pursuant to the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement. The Manager's representatives reviewed the fund's distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each.The Manager's representatives noted the diversity of distribution among the funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager's corresponding need for broad, deep and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, including that of the fund. The Board also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund's asset size.

The Board members also considered Founder's research and portfolio management capabilities and that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and the Manager's extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure, as well as the Manager's supervisory activities over Founders.

34


Comparative Analysis of the Fund's Management Fee, Expense Ratio and Performance. The Board members reviewed reports prepared by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing the fund's management fee and expense ratio with a group of comparable funds and a broader group of funds that were selected by Lipper and are not subject to a performance management fee ("Expense Group I" and "Expense Universe I," respectively) and with a group of comparable funds and a broader group of funds that were selected by Lipper and are subject to a performance management fee ("Expense Group II" and "Expense Universe II," respectively).The fund is subject to a performance management fee, as more particularly described in Note 3 to the fund's financial statements. Included in these reports were comparisons of contractual and actual management fee rates, total operating expenses and performance. The Manager furnished these reports to the Board along with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select each Expense Group and Expense Universe.

The Board reviewed the results of the comparisons for each Expense Group and Expense Universe for various periods ended May 31, 2006. The Board reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in each Expense Group and Expense Universe, and noted that the fund's expense ratio, based on the fund's basic management fee, ranked in the fifth quintile (among the highest expense ratios) of Expense Group I and Expense Universe I and that the fund's expense ratio, based on the fund's performance management fee, ranked in the fifth quintile of Expense Group II and Expense Universe II. The Manager reviewed the basic management fee and the performance adjustments made to the fee as a result of the fund's performance exceeding the performance of the fund's benchmark index.The Board noted that, as a result of these performance adjustments, the fund's management fee was the highest of the fees paid by the funds in Expense Group I and higher than most of the fees paid by the funds in Expense Group II, but that the fund's management fee could decrease to levels that are below those of the funds in Expense Group

The Fund 35


  INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE
FUND'S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

I and some of the funds in Expense Group II in the event of the underperformance of the fund relative to its benchmark. The Board also noted that the Manager was currently engaged in discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding adjustments to the methodology historically used to calculate the performance adjustments to the management fee. Retroactive application of such adjustments would result in a reduction in aggregate management fees paid by the fund to the Manager during the period from December 2001.

The Board members also reviewed the reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund's performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons of performance to two groups of funds that were composed of the same funds included in Expense Group I and Expense Group II ("Performance Group I" and "Performance Group II," respectively) and to two corresponding broader groups of funds ("Performance Universe I" and "Performance Universe II," respectively).The Manager also provided a comparison of the fund's calendar year total returns to the returns of its benchmark index.The Board noted that the fund's performance was above the medians of Performance Group I and Performance Group II and of Performance Universe I and Performance Universe II for the reported periods ended May 31, 2006, noting that the fund's performance for the 1-, 4- and 5-year periods was the highest of Performance Group I and that its performance for the 1-,3-,4- and 5-year periods was the highest of Performance Group II.

Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to the Manager or its affiliates by mutual funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund (the "Similar Funds"), and explained the nature of the Similar Funds and the differences, from the Manager's perspective, in providing services to the Similar Funds as compared to the fund. Representatives of the Manager also noted that there were no other accounts managed or sub-advised by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the

36


fund.The Managers’ representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries.The Board analyzed the differences in fees paid to the Manager and discussed the relationship of the advisory fees paid in light of the Manager's performance and the services provided; it was noted that the Similar Funds had lower management fees than the basic management fee borne by the fund, but recognized that the fund's fee could be adjusted to a rate lower than the fees charged the Similar Funds if the fund were to underperform. The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Funds managed by the Manager to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund's advisory fees.The Board acknowledged that differences in fees paid by the Similar Funds seemed to be consistent with the services provided.

The Board considered the fee to Founders in relation to the fee paid to the Manager and the respective services provided by Founders and the Manager. The Board also noted that Founders’ fee is paid by the Manager and not by the fund.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager's representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit. The Board previously had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Manager's approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus mutual fund complex. The Board members also had been informed that the methodology had been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm which, like the consultant, found the methodology to be reasonable.The consulting firm also analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of the fund. The Board members evaluated the analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, noting that economies of scale may be realized as the fund's assets increase and considering whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors.

The Fund 37


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE
FUND'S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

The Board members evaluated the profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including any decline in assets, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager and Founders from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, to the fund, including any soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund's portfolio.

It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager's profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fee under the Management Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent and quality of such services. Since the Manager, and not the fund, pays Founders pursuant to the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board did not consider Founders’ profitability to be relevant to the deliberations. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered and that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was reasonable given the fund's overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund's Management Agreement and Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations with respect to the fund:

  • The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Manager and Founders to the fund are adequate and appropriate.
  • The Board was satisfied with the fund's overall total return performance.

38


  • The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund and that the fee paid by the Manager to Founders is reasonable and appropriate.
  • The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by the Manager in connection with the management fee rate charged to the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with the information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that re-approval of the fund's Management Agreement, as amended and restated, and Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, as amended and restated, were in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Financial Services Fund, covering the 12-month period from October 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006.

After more than two years of steady and gradual increases, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") held short-term interest rates unchanged at its meetings in August and September.The Fed has indicated that the U.S. economy has moved to a slower-growth phase of its cycle, as evidenced by softening housing markets in many regions of the United States.Yet, energy prices have moderated from record highs, calming fears that the economy may fall into a full-blown recession.

Most sectors of the U.S. stock market rallied in the wake of the Fed's announcement, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average approached its all-time high, set more than six years ago. Recently, for the first time in several years, large-cap stocks generally have produced higher returns than their small-cap counterparts, which some analysts believe may signify a fundamental shift in investors’ attitudes toward risk.As always, we encourage you to talk with your financial advisor to ensure that your portfolio remains properly diversified across all investment types based on your current financial needs and future investment goals.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund's portfolio manager.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

  Stephen E. Canter
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

William B. Rubin, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier Financial Services Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006, the fund produced total returns of 18.76% for its Class A shares, 17.88% for Class B shares, 17.85% for Class C shares, 16.68% for Class R shares and 19.60% for Class T shares.1 In comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index, produced a total return of 19.86% for the same period.2

The financial services sector ranked as one of the better performing sectors of the overall stock market over the reporting period, as a strong credit environment and rebounding capital markets more than offset adverse influences, such as rising short-term interest rates. The fund participated in the sector's gains but slightly trailed its benchmark, primarily due to an underweight position in bank stocks which performed better than expected despite earnings headwinds.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks of companies in the financial services and financial services-related sectors. These companies may include, for example, commercial banks, thrifts, securities/brokerage firms, insurance companies, real estate-related companies, consumer and commercial finance companies and financial technology and processing companies.

When choosing stocks, the fund first analyzes the financial services sectors, focusing on key macroeconomic, demographic and market trends to determine which sectors are likely to fare best within a particular environment. Based on this analysis, the fund may overweight or underweight certain financial services sectors. Using fundamental analysis, the fund then seeks companies within these sectors that have strong growth prospects, consistent earnings growth, strong balance sheets and attractive returns on equity.The fund will look for companies with attractive valuations and the potential to achieve predictable,

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

above-average earnings or revenue growth. The fund typically sells a stock when the reasons for buying it no longer apply, when it achieves our price objective, or when the company begins to show deteriorating fundamentals or poor relative performance.

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

Although rising short-term interest rates and volatile energy prices threatened to erode consumer spending and corporate profits during the reporting period, stocks generally advanced on the strength of robust economic growth and generally benign inflation.These conditions enabled the U.S. stock market to weather a period of weakness in the spring of 2006, when fears of accelerating inflation and slower economic growth raised concerns about future business conditions. These worries proved to be relatively short-lived, however, as inflationary pressures seemed to wane over the summer and the Federal Reserve Board held short-term interest rates steady for the first time in more than two years. The stock market rallied over the summer, more than overcoming earlier losses.

The financial sector benefited from these developments more than many other industry groups. Although rising short-term interest rates threatened to erode lenders’ profit margins, business fundamentals remained strong due to a robust credit environment that saw relatively few loan delinquencies, improving trading conditions in the capital markets and higher levels of investment banking activity.

The fund received especially positive performance contributions from its relatively heavy holdings of specialty finance companies, brokerage firms and asset managers, and our stock selection strategy was particularly successful in these areas. Among specialty finance companies, top performers included CapitalSource, which achieved robust loan and earnings growth, and New Century Financial, which rebounded from previously oversold levels due to better-than-expected credit quality and a dividend increase. In the brokerage sector, online service provider E*Trade Financial experienced higher levels of trading activity and, among asset managers, Affiliated Managers Group saw fees rise along with stock prices. Other relatively strong performers included mortgage provider Accredited Home Lenders, where loan growth was stronger than most analysts anticipated, and East West Bancorp, which focuses on providing financial services to the Asian-American community.

On the other hand, disappointments during the reporting period included relatively light exposure to banks, which prevented the fund from participating fully in the sub-sector's advance. In addition, results from the fund's bank investments were hindered by its holdings of Puerto Rico-based banks R&G Financial and EuroBancshares, where a lackluster local economy and accounting issues at some banks led to deteriorating investor sentiment. Other detractors from relative performance included credit card issuer Capital One Financial and insurance provider Aon.

What is the fund's current strategy?

As valuations of financial companies increased and signs of a potential economic slowdown emerged, we adopted a sub-sector allocation strategy that more closely matched that of the fund's benchmark. However, we have continued to find what we regard as attractive opportunities among individual companies, and we have been particularly encouraged by recent trends in the capital markets and insurance industry. Consequently, we have maintained our focus on fundamental analysis, which we believe will continue to help us find financial services companies poised for long-term success.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid and does not take into
consideration the maximum initial sales charges in the case of Class A and Class T shares, or the
applicable contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and
Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance
is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon
redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Return figures
provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to
an agreement in effect through October 31, 2006, at which time it may be extended, terminated
or modified. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund's returns would have been lower.
A significant portion of the fund's recent performance is attributable to positive returns from
its initial public offering (IPO) investments.There can be no guarantee that IPOs will
have or continue to have a positive effect on the fund's performance. Currently, the fund is
relatively small in asset size. IPOs tend to have a reduced effect on performance as a
fund's asset base grows.

Currently, the fund is relatively small in asset size. IPOs tend to have a reduced effect on performance as a fund's asset base grows.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Class A shares of Dreyfus Premier Financial Services Fund on 12/28/01 (inception date) to a $10,000 investment made in the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index (the "Index") on that date. For comparative purposes, the value of the Index on 12/31/01 is used as the beginning value on 12/28/01. Performance for Class B, Class C, Class R and Class T shares will vary from the performance of Class A shares shown above due to differences in charges and expenses. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested. The fund's performance shown in the line graph takes into account the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares and all other applicable fees and expenses.The Index is a modified capitalization-weighted index designed as a benchmark for U.S. traded securities.The Index includes companies in the following categories: banking services; commercial and consumer financial services; brokerage firms and asset managers; insurance companies; and real estate companies.The Index does not take into account charges, fees and other expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier Financial Services Fund (the "fund") is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Premier Opportunity Funds (the "Company"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering five series, including the fund.The fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. The Dreyfus Corporation (the "Manager" or "Dreyfus") serves as the fund's investment adviser.The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation ("Mellon Financial").

Dreyfus Service Corporation (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund's shares.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of $.001 par value Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class T. Class A and Class T shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase and Class R shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective March 1, 2006, Class A shares of the fund may be purchased at net asset value ("NAV") without payment of a sales charge:

  • By qualified investors who (i) purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, and (ii) have, or whose spouse or minor children have, beneficially owned shares and continuously maintained an open account directly through the Distributor in a Dreyfus-managed fund, including the fund, or a Founders Asset Management LLC ("Founders") managed fund since on or before February 28, 2006. Founders is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Distributor.

22


  • With the cash proceeds from an investor's exercise of employmentrelated stock options, whether invested in the fund directly or indirectly through an exchange from a Dreyfus-managed money market fund, provided that the proceeds are processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relating to processing stock options. Upon establishing the account in the fund or the Dreyfus-managed money market fund, the investor and the investor's spouse and minor children become eligible to purchase Class A shares of the fund at NAV, whether or not using the proceeds of the employment-related stock options.
  • By members of qualified affinity groups who purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, provided that the qualified affinity group has entered into an affinity agreement with the Distributor.

Effective March 1, 2006, Class A and Class T shares of the fund may be purchased at NAV without payment of a sales charge:

  • For Dreyfus-sponsored IRA "Rollover Accounts" with the distribution proceeds from qualified and non-qualified retirement plans or a Dreyfus-sponsored 403(b)(7) plan, provided that, in the case of a qualified or non-qualified retirement plan, the rollover is processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relating to processing rollovers. Upon establishing the Dreyfus-sponsored IRA rollover account in the fund, the shareholder becomes eligible to make subsequent purchases of Class A or Class T shares of the fund at NAV in such account.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Fund 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As of September 30, 2006, MBC Investments Corp., an indirect subsidiary of Mellon Financial, held 44,769 Class A shares, 82 Class R shares and 83 Class T shares of the fund.

The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sale price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Investments in registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the proce-

24


dures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR's and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund's policy, that at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned.Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager. The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of,or loss of rights in,the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as "affiliated" in the Act.

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

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 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.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

At September 30, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $48,313, undistributed capital gains $17,391 and unrealized appreciation $380,233.

26


The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, were as follows: ordinary income $183,990 and $111,014 and long-term capital gains $109,108 and $51,497, respectively.

During the period ended September 30, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences primarily due to the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $312 and increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
  Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Dreyfus Premier Financial Services Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Dreyfus Premier Financial Services Fund (one of the funds comprising Dreyfus Premier Opportunity Funds) as of September 30, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the custodian as of September 30, 2006 and confirmation of securities not held by the custodian by correspondence with others.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 Dreyfus Premier Financial Services Fund at September 30, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL
OF THE FUND's MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Company held on July 11-12,2006,the Board considered the re-approval of the fund's Management Agreement for another one year term, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Company, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to the fund's Management Agreement.The Manager's representatives reviewed the fund's distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each. The Manager's representatives noted the diversity of distribution of the fund as well as among the funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager's corresponding need for broad, deep and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each of the fund's distribution channels. The Board also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund's asset size.

The Board members also considered the Manager's research and portfolio management capabilities and that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and the Manager's extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund's Management Fee, Expense Ratio and Performance. The Board members reviewed reports prepared by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing the fund's management fee

The Fund 33


  INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE
FUND'S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

and expense ratio with a group of comparable funds (the "Expense Group") and with a broader group of funds (the "Expense Universe") that were selected by Lipper. Included in these reports were comparisons of contractual and actual management fee rates, total operating expenses and performance.The Manager furnished these reports to the Board along with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Expense Group and Expense Universe.

The Board reviewed the results of the Expense Group and Expense Universe comparisons for various periods ended May 31, 2006. The Board reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe, and noted that the fund's expense ratio ranked in the first quintile (among the lowest expense ratios) of the Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board considered that the current fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangement undertaken by the Manager had caused the fund's expense ratio to be lower than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.

The Board members also reviewed the reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund's performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons of performance to a group of comparable funds (the "Performance Group") that were composed of the same funds included in the Expense Group and to a broader group of funds (the "Performance Universe").The Manager also provided a comparison of the fund's calendar year total returns to the returns of its benchmark index. The Board noted that the fund's performance was below the medians of the Performance Group for the 1- and 2-year periods, and was above the medians for the 3- and 4-year periods, ended May 31, 2006, and was below the Performance Universe medians for the 1- and 2-year periods and was above the Performance Universe medians for the 3- and 4-year periods. The Board also noted the fund's favorable relative total return performance in the longer term.

Representatives of the Manager noted that the Manager or its affiliates do not manage other mutual funds or accounts with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund.

34


Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager's representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit.The Board previously had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Manager's approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus mutual fund complex.The Board members also had been informed that the methodology had been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm which, like the consultant, found the methodology to be reasonable.The consulting firm also analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of the fund. The Board members evaluated the analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, noting that economies of scale may be realized as the fund's assets increase and considering whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors.The Board members evaluated the profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including any decline in assets, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund, including any soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund's portfolio.

It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager's profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fee under the Management Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent and quality of such services. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered and that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was reasonable given the fund's overall performance and generally superior service levels provided. The Board also noted the current fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangement and its effect on the profitability of the Manager.

The Fund 35


  INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE
FUND'S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund's Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations with respect to the fund:

  • The Board concluded that the nature,extent and quality of the services provided by the Manager to the fund are adequate and appropriate.
  • While the Board was concerned with the fund's one- and two-year total return performance, the Board was satisfied with the fund's longer term performance.
  • The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.
  • The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by the Manager in connection with the management fee rate charged to the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with the information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that re-approval of the fund's Management Agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Natural Resources Fund, covering the 12-month period from October 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006.

After more than two years of steady and gradual increases, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") held short-term interest rates unchanged at its meetings in August and September.The Fed has indicated that the U.S. economy has moved to a slower-growth phase of its cycle, as evidenced by softening housing markets in many regions of the United States.Yet, energy prices have moderated from record highs, calming fears that the economy may fall into a full-blown recession.

Most sectors of the U.S. stock market rallied in the wake of the Fed's announcement, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average approached its all-time high, set more than six years ago. Recently, for the first time in several years, large-cap stocks generally have produced higher returns than their small-cap counterparts, which some analysts believe may signify a fundamental shift in investors’ attitudes toward risk.As always, we encourage you to talk with your financial advisor to ensure that your portfolio remains properly diversified across all investment types based on your current financial needs and future investment goals.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund's portfolio managers.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

  Stephen E. Canter
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Alexander S. Marshall and William E. Costello, Portfolio Managers

How did Dreyfus Premier Natural Resources Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2006, the fund produced a total return of 0.88% for Class A shares, 0.03% for Class B shares, 0.09% for Class C shares, 1.12% for Class R shares and 0.60% for Class T shares.1 This compares with the fund's benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P 500 Index"), which produced a total return of 10.78% for the same period.2 The Goldman Sachs Natural Resource Index, which more closely reflects the fund's composition, returned 3.51% for the period.3

We attribute these results primarily to fluctuating commodity prices. Oil and natural gas prices declined sharply during the second half of the reporting period, undermining energy stocks and causing the Goldman Sachs Natural Resource Index to lag significantly behind the S&P 500 Index. The fund suffered from the decline in energy stocks to an even greater degree than the Goldman Sachs Index due to its relatively heavy exposure to some of the smaller, more volatile companies in the energy sector.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. Effective February 1, 2006, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks of companies in the natural resources and natural resources-related sectors. These companies may include, for example, companies involved either directly or through subsidiaries in exploring, mining, drilling, refining, processing, transporting, distributing, fabricating, dealing in or owning natural resources and companies providing environmental services.The fund typically will invest in equity securities of U.S.-based companies, but may invest up to 45% of its total assets in foreign securities, including emerging market securities. The fund's stock investments may

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

include common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants and convertible securities, including those purchased in initial public offerings and American Depository Receipts (ADRs). The fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds, which generally are designed to provide investment results corresponding to an index.

The fund invests in growth and value stocks, and typically will maintain exposure to the major natural resources sectors. Using fundamental research and direct management contact, the portfolio managers seek stocks of companies with strong positions in their natural resources sector, sustained achievement records and strong financial conditions.The portfolio managers also look for special situations, such as corporate restructurings, turnarounds or management changes that could increase the stock price.The fund typically sells a stock when the reasons for buying it no longer apply or when the company begins to show deteriorating fundamentals or poor relative performance or when a stock is fully valued by the market.The fund may also sell a stock to secure gains, limit losses or re-deploy assets into more promising opportunities.

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

Energy commodity prices fluctuated sharply during the reporting period due to shifting supply-and-demand dynamics. Prices for standard crude oil surged to over $78 per barrel in the summer of 2006, then retreated toward $60 by the end of the reporting period. Natural gas prices proved even more volatile, climbing to more than $15 per MMBtu in December 2005 before sliding to nearly $4 in September 2006.

The fund sought to capitalize on rising energy commodity prices by focusing on independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, such as Southwestern Energy. While such stocks benefited from rising commodity prices in late 2005 and early 2006, they tended to underperform larger, integrated oil and gas companies as prices fell during the second half of the reporting period. In addition, one independent producer, Gasco Energy, encountered operational difficulties that led us to sell the fund's shares. Other notably weak performing energy holdings included land drillers Pioneer Drilling and Patterson-UTI Energy, which were highly leveraged to natural gas prices. Several refinery holdings suffered due to seasonal pressures and technical market adjustments.

On a more positive note, many of the fund's investments in the energy services sector generated strong returns. Top performers included Hercules Offshore, Transocean and Western Gas Resources, the latter of which rose on an acquisition offer.The fund's minerals and mining investments also contributed positively to the fund's performance, led by Australia-based zinc and lead producer Zinifex Ltd.

What is the fund's current strategy?

As of the end of the reporting period, we believe that natural gas prices stand at attractively low levels compared to other energy commodities and in light of seasonal pricing trends. Accordingly, we have emphasized companies linked to natural gas production and distribution. At the same time, the fund's assets remain invested among a wide range of energy-related companies and mineral and mining businesses.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into
consideration the maximum initial sales charges in the case of Class A and Class T shares, or the
applicable contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and
Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance
is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon
redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than original cost.
Part of the fund's recent performance is attributable to positive returns from its initial public
offering (IPO) investments.There can be no guarantee that IPOs will have or continue to
have a positive effect on fund performance. Currently, the fund is relatively small in asset
size. IPOs tend to have a reduced effect on performance as a fund's asset base grows.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund's prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

Review your fund's expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus Premier Natural Resources Fund from April 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

  COMPARING YOUR FUND's EXPENSES
WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)

Using the SEC's method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund's expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment             
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended September 30, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class R    Class T 






Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 7.59    $ 11.36    $ 11.36    $ 6.33    $ 8.85 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,017.55    $1,013.79    $1,013.79    $1,018.80    $1,016.29 

Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.50% for Class A, 2.25% for Class B, 2.25% for Class C, 1.25% for Class R and 1.75% for Class T; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier Natural Resources Fund (the "fund") is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Premier Opportunity Funds (the "Company") which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering five series, including the fund.The fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. The Dreyfus Corporation (the "Manager" or "Dreyfus") serves as the fund's investment adviser.The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation ("Mellon Financial").

On January 26, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a change of the fund name from "Dreyfus Premier Natural Leaders Fund" to "Dreyfus Premier Natural Resources Fund". This change became effective February 1, 2006.

Dreyfus Service Corporation (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund's shares.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class T. Class A and Class T shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase and Class R shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective March 1, 2006, Class A shares of the fund may be purchased at net asset value ("NAV") without payment of a sales charge:

  • By qualified investors who (i) purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, and (ii) have, or whose spouse or minor children have, beneficially owned shares and continuously maintained an open account directly through the Distributor in a Dreyfusmanaged fund, including the fund, or a Founders Asset Managed LLC ("Founders") managed fund since on or before February 28, 2006. Founders is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Distributor

22


  • With the cash proceeds from an investor's exercise of employmentrelated stock options, whether invested in the fund directly or indirectly through an exchange from a Dreyfus-managed money market fund, provided that the proceeds are processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relating to processing stock options. Upon establishing the account in the fund or the Dreyfus-managed money market fund, the investor and the investor's spouse and minor children become eligible to purchase Class A shares of the fund at NAV, whether or not using the proceeds of the employment-related stock options.
  • By members of qualified affinity groups who purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, provided that the qualified affinity group has entered into an affinity agreement with the Distributor.

Effective March 1, 2006, Class A and Class T shares of the fund may be purchased at NAV without payment of a sales charge:

  • For Dreyfus-sponsored IRA "Rollover Accounts" with the distribution proceeds from qualified and non-qualified retirement plans or a Dreyfus-sponsored 403(b)(7) plan, provided that, in the case of a qualified or non-qualified retirement plan, the rollover is processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relating to processing rollovers. Upon establishing the Dreyfus-sponsored IRA rollover account in the fund, the shareholder becomes eligible to make subsequent purchases of Class A or Class T shares of the fund at NAV in such account.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are

The Fund 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sale price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Investments in registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR's and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data,

24


the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate.

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund's policy, that at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction.Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund would bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as "affiliated" in the Act.

(e) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

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

26


tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of 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.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

At September 30, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $323,233, undistributed capital gains $496,366 and unrealized appreciation $2,200,760.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 were as follows: ordinary income $ 971,823 and $173,837 and long-term capital gains $475,603 and $1,176, respectively.

During the period ended September 30, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and passive foreign investment companies, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $313,035 and decreased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investment by the same amount. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund may borrow up to $500 thousand for leveraging purposes under a short-term unsecured line of credit and participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $100 million unsecured line of credit primarily to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowing.

The Fund 27


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding under either line of credit during the period ended September 30, 2006, was $9,500 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 4.84% .

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement ("Agreement") with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .75% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Manager has undertaken from October 31, 2005 through September 30, 2006, that, if the fund's aggregate expenses, exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees, shareholder services plan fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed an annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets, the fund may deduct from the payment to be made to the Manager under the Agreement, or the Manager will bear, such excess expense.The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $55,395 during the period ended September 30, 2006.

During the period ended September 30, 2006, the Distributor retained $27,809 and $1,004 from commissions earned on sales of the fund's Class A and Class T shares, respectively, and $9,695 and $3,926 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund's Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the "Plan") adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class T shares. During the period ended September 30, 2006, Class B, Class C and Class T shares were charged $52,701, $36,378 and $1,791, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services.

28


The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended September 30, 2006, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares were charged $34,532, $17,567, $12,126 and $1,791, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended September 30, 2006, the fund was charged $24,616 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

The fund compensates Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Manager, under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. During the period ended September 30, 2006, the fund was charged $6,639 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended September 30, 2006, the fund was charged $4,374 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $17,498, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $7,075, shareholder services plan fees $5,711, custodian fees $1,450, chief compliance officer fees $2,274 and transfer agency per account fees $3,820, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $10,096.

(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

The Fund 29


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(e) Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the fund may invest its available cash balances in affiliated money market mutual funds. Management fees of the underlying money market mutual funds have been waived by the Manager.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended September 30, 2006, amounted to $27,053,859 and $18,552,023, respectively.

The fund enters into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings and to settle foreign currency transac-tions.When executing forward currency exchange contracts, the fund is obligated to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future. With respect to sales of forward currency exchange contracts, the fund would incur a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed.The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates. With respect to purchases of forward currency exchange contracts, the fund would incur a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. The fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counter party nonperformance on these forward currency exchange contracts which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract. At September 30, 2006, there were no open forward currency exchange contracts.

At September 30, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $25,201,033;accordingly,accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $2,200,760, consisting of $3,246,743 gross unrealized appreciation and $1,045,983 gross unrealized depreciation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
  Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Dreyfus Premier Natural Resources Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Dreyfus Premier Natural Resources Fund (one of the funds comprising Dreyfus Premier Opportunity Funds) as of September 30, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the custodian as of September 30, 2006 and confirmation of securities not held by the custodian by correspondence with others.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 Dreyfus Premier Natural Resources Fund at September 30, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL
OF THE FUND's MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Company held on July 11-12, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval of the fund's Management Agreement for another one year term, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Company, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to the fund's Management Agreement.The Manager's representatives reviewed the fund's distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each. The Manager's representatives noted the diversity of distribution of the fund as well as among the funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager's corresponding need for broad, deep and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each of the fund's distribution channels. The Board also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund's asset size.

The Board members also considered the Manager's research and portfolio management capabilities and that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and the Manager's extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund's Management Fee, Expense Ratio and Performance. The Board members reviewed reports prepared by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing the fund's management fee and expense ratio with a group of comparable funds (the "Expense Group") and with a broader group of funds (the "Expense Universe") that were selected by Lipper. Included in these reports were comparisons of contractual and actual management fee rates, total operating expenses and performance.The Manager furnished these reports to the Board along with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Expense Group and Expense Universe.

The Fund 33


  INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE
FUND'S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

The Board reviewed the results of the Expense Group and Expense Universe comparisons for various periods ended May 31, 2006. The Board reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe, and noted that the fund's expense ratio ranked in the fourth quintile (above the median) of the Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board considered the current fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangement undertaken by the Manager.The Board noted the fund's small asset size and the effect that certain fixed costs can have on funds with lower assets.

The Board members also reviewed the reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund's performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons of performance to a group of comparable funds (the "Performance Group") that were composed of the same funds included in the Expense Group and to a broader group of funds (the "Performance Universe").The Manager also provided a comparison of the fund's calendar year total returns to the returns of its benchmark index. The Board noted that the fund's performance was below the medians of the Performance Group and Performance Universe for the 1- and 2-year periods ended May 31, 2006, although it was very favorable on an absolute basis.

Representatives of the Manager noted that the Manager or its affiliates do not manage other mutual funds or accounts with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager's representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine

34


such expenses and profit. The Board previously had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Manager's approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus mutual fund complex. The Board members also had been informed that the methodology had been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm which, like the consultant, found the methodology to be reasonable.The consulting firm also analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of the fund. The Board members evaluated the analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, noting that economies of scale may be realized as the fund's assets increase and considering whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors. The Board members evaluated the profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including any decline in assets, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund, including any soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund's portfolio.

It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager's profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fee under the Management Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent and quality of such services. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered and that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was reasonable given the fund's overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.The Board also noted the current fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangement and its effect on the profitability of the Manager.

The Fund 35


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE
FUND'S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund's Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations with respect to the fund:

  • The Board concluded that the nature,extent and quality of the services provided by the Manager to the fund are adequate and appropriate.
  • The Board was satisfied with the fund's performance on an absolute basis.
  • The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.
  • The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by the Manager in connection with the management fee rate charged to the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with the information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that re-approval of the fund's Management Agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
