Dreyfus Institutional
Cash Advantage Fund

The Fund


LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder:

This annual report for Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund covers the 12-month period ended April 30, 2010. During the reporting period, the fund’s Administrative Advantage shares produced a yield of 0.19%, Participant Advantage shares produced a yield of 0.05%, Institutional Advantage shares produced a yield of 0.27% and Investor Advantage shares produced a yield of 0.07%. Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund’s Administrative Advantage shares, Participant Advantage shares, Institutional Advantage shares and Investor Advantage shares produced effective yields1 of 0.19%, 0.05%, 0.27% and 0.07%, respectively.2

Despite Recovery, Monetary Policy Remained Unchanged

The reporting period began near the start of a sustained economic recov-ery.The rebound was fueled, in part, by the Federal Reserve Board’s (the “Fed”) aggressive monetary policy, including an overnight federal funds rate that remained unchanged in a historically low range between 0.00% and 0.25%. Consequently, money market yields remained near zero percent throughout the reporting period. In addition, the U.S. government attempted to promote liquidity in the short-term credit market with the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds, which ended on September 18, 2009.

The U.S. economy contracted at a –0.7% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2009, a much milder decline than the previous quarter. This and other evidence of economic improvement early in the reporting period bolstered investor sentiment that the worst of the economic crisis was behind us.

Residential construction improved in July, and August saw the first expansion of manufacturing activity in more than 18 months. Consumer spending increased in August, due in part to the U.S. government’s Cash for Clunkers automobile purchasing program. In September, pending home sales reached their highest level since March 2007.

2



Positive news in October included a return to growth for the U.S. economy, with U.S. GDP expanding at a 2.2% annualized rate in the third quarter, its first quarterly gain in more than a year. However, the unemployment rate climbed to 10.2% in October, its highest level since the early 1980s. November saw moderating foreclosure rates, and in December the unemployment rate declined to 10%, and monthly job losses moderated.

U.S. GDP grew at a 5.6% annualized rate during the fourth quarter of 2009.Although inventory rebuilding accounted for more than half of that gain, economists were encouraged in January 2010 by a better-than-expected improvement in retail sales. In addition, the unemployment rate fell to 9.7%, and job losses continued to moderate in January and February.

Manufacturing activity rose for the eighth straight month in March, and it did so at the fastest rate in almost six years.The employment situation improved, as 162,000 new jobs were created during the month while the unemployment rate held steady. However, the housing market continued to struggle, with existing home sales sliding –0.6% compared to the previous month.

Employment improved in April by the largest margin in approximately four years, even as workers returning to the labor market pushed the unemployment rate up to 9.9%. It was also announced during the month that U.S. GDP grew at an estimated 3.2% annualized rate during the first quarter of 2010, a far milder gain than similar stages of most previous recoveries.

Finally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued new regulations governing money market funds, many of which became effective in March 2010. According to the SEC, the “new rules are intended to increase the resilience of money market funds to economic stresses and reduce the risks of runs on the funds by tightening the maturity and credit quality standards and imposing new liquidity requirements.”These new regulations had relatively little impact on the fund, which historically has been conservatively managed.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (continued)

An Unwavering Focus on Quality

With few opportunities available for significant levels of current income, most money market funds maintained weighted maturities that were shorter than historical averages.The fund was no exception, as we set its weighted average maturity roughly in line with industry averages for most of the reporting period.

As the economy recovers, some analysts have begun to anticipate higher short-term interest rates. However, the Fed repeatedly has stated that economic conditions “are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period.” Concerns regarding the fragility of the credit markets seem to have eased, as the Fed discontinued certain market support programs at the end of March. As always, as we look for signs that the Fed is prepared to raise interest rates, we maintain the fund’s focus on credit quality and liquidity.

An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

Short-term corporate, asset-backed securities holdings and municipal securities holdings (as applicable), while rated in the highest rating category by one or more NRSRO (or unrated, if deemed of comparable quality by Dreyfus) involve credit and liquidity risks and risk of principal loss.

1 Effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Past performance is
  no guarantee of future results.Yields fluctuate.
2 Yields provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation
  pursuant to an undertaking in effect that may be extended, terminated or modified at any time.
  Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s yields for its Administrative Advantage shares,
  Participant Advantage shares, Institutional Advantage shares and Investor Advantage shares would
  have been lower, and in some cases, 7-day yields during the reporting period would have been
  negative absent the expense absorption.

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 Institutional Cash Advantage Fund from November 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

  Institutional Administrative Investor Participant
  Advantage Advantage Advantage Advantage
Expenses paid per $1,000 $ .74 $ 1.09 $ 1.44 $ 1.39
Ending value (after expenses) $1,000.70 $1,000.30 $1,000.00 $1,000.00

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 April 30, 2010

  Institutional Administrative Investor Participant
  Advantage Advantage Advantage Advantage
Expenses paid per $1,000 $ .75 $ 1.10 $ 1.45 $ 1.40
Ending value (after expenses) $1,024.05 $1,023.70 $1,023.36 $1,023.41

† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .15% for Institutional Advantage, .22% for Administrative
Advantage, .29% for Investor Advantage and .28% for Participant Advantage, multiplied by the average account value
over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage 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 two series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.The Manager also serves as administrator for the fund.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Institutional Advantage, Administrative Advantage, Investor Advantage and Participant Advantage. Administrative Advantage, Investor Advantage and Participant Advantage shares are subject to a Service Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. 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.

It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so.There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.

The Fund 17



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has become the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company 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 amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the fund’s Board of Trustees to represent the fair value of the fund’s investments.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

18



Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted
prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds,
credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:

  Short-Term
Valuation Inputs Investments ($)
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs 29,201,942,684
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs
Total 29,201,942,684

See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.

The Fund 19



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Manager, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the fund’s custodian and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities fall below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, 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 gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.

(d) 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.

As of and during the period ended April 30, 2010, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

20



Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended April 30, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At April 30, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2009 were all ordinary income.

At April 30, 2010, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

(e) Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program: The fund entered into a Guarantee Agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) to participate in the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”).

Under the Program, the Treasury guaranteed the share price of shares of the fund held by shareholders as of September 19, 2008 at $1.00 per share if the fund’s net asset value per share fell below $0.995 (a “Guarantee Event”) and the fund liquidated. Recovery under the Program was subject to certain conditions and limitations.

Fund shares acquired by investors after September 19, 2008 that increased the number of fund shares the investor held at the close of business on September 19, 2008 were not eligible for protection under the Program. In addition, fund shares acquired by investors who did not hold fund shares at the close of business on September 19, 2008 were not eligible for protection under the Program.

The Program, which was originally set to expire on December 18, 2008, was initially extended by the Treasury until April 30, 2009 and had been further extended by the Treasury until September 18, 2009, at which time the Secretary of the Treasury terminated the Program.

The Fund 21



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As such, the fund is no longer eligible for protection under the Program. Participation in the initial term and the extended periods of the Program required a payment to the Treasury in the amounts of .01%, .015% and .015%, respectively, of the fund’s shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 (valued at $1.00 per share). This expense was borne by the fund without regard to any expense limitation in effect.

NOTE 2—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .10% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Manager has agreed to pay the fund’s expenses, except management fees, administration fees, Rule 12b-1 fees, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses.

The Manager has undertaken to reimburse expenses in the event that current yields drop below a certain level. Such limitation may fluctuate daily,is voluntary and not contractual and may be terminated at any time. In addition, Participant Advantage shares have an expense limit of .51%, which is still in effect.The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $31,674 for Investor Advantage shares and $557,589 for Participant Advantage shares during the period ended April 30, 2010.

On April 14, 2010, the Board approved, subject to shareholder approval, a proposal to amend the fund’s management agreement so that certain operating expenses, currently borne by Dreyfus under the existing unitary fee structure, would be borne by the fund. The shareholder vote is expected to occur on or about July 6, 2010.

(b) As compensation for the Manager’s services under the Administration Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Manager a monthly administration fee at the annual rate of .05% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.

(c) Under the fund’s Service Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, relating to its Administrative Advantage, Investor Advantage and Participant Advantage shares, the fund pays the

22



Distributor for distributing such classes of shares and for advertising and marketing relating to such classes of shares and for providing certain services relating to shareholder accounts in such classes of shares, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts (“Servicing”), at an aggregate annual rate of .07%, .25% and .40% of the value of the average daily net assets of the fund’s Administrative Advantage, Investor Advantage and Participant Advantage shares, respectively.The Distributor may pay one or more Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) a fee in respect of the fund’s Administrative Advantage, Investor Advantage and Participant Advantage shares owned by shareholders with whom the Service Agent has a Servicing relationship or for whom the Service Agent is the dealer or holder of record.The Distributor determines the amounts, if any, to be paid to Service Agents under the Plan and the basis on which such payments are made.The fees payable under the Plan are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred. During the period ended April 30, 2010, the fund’s Administrative Advantage, Investor Advantage and Participant Advantage shares were charged $702,690, $244,846 and $1,282,311, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $2,472,048, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $149,171 and administration fees $1,230,547, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $67,635.

NOTE 3—Subsequent Events Evaluation:

Dreyfus has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund (one of the series comprising Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Funds) as of April 30, 2010, 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 years 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.We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and 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 Institutional Cash Advantage Fund at April 30, 2010, 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 years, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Funds (the “Company”) held on April 14, 2010 (the “April Board Meeting”), the Board approved, subject to the required shareholder approval described herein,the amended Management Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”), 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.The approval at the April Board Meeting was done in part by reference to information provided for and discussions during the July 14-15, 2009 meeting in connection with the Board’s annual evaluation and approval of the continuance of the current Management Agreement (the “Current Agreement”), as well as to information provided at subsequent Board meetings, including the April Board Meeting.

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided to the Fund. The Board members considered information previously provided to them in a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and representatives of the Manager confirmed that there had been no material changes in this information and that there would be no diminution in the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the fund as a result of the proposed changes. The Manager’s representatives referred to the presentation and reminded the Board members of the discussions about the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each. The Board noted that the fund’s shares were offered only to institutional investors.The Manager’s representatives reminded the Board of the diversity of distribution among the funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager’ corresponding need for broad, deep and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, including that of

26



the fund. The Manager also provided 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.

The Board members then discussed the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the fund pursuant to the Amended Agreement, noting that no changes to the services currently provided under the Current Agreement and the Administration Agreement were proposed or expected to occur as a result of the change in the fund’s fee and expense structure.The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Manager to the fund are adequate and appropriate, and that changing the fund’s fee and expense arrangement from a unitary fee structure to an itemized fee structure and combining under one agreement the services provided by, and the management and administration fees payable to, the Manager would not effect the Manager’s ability to continue to provide services to the fund of the same scope and quality as provided under the Current Agreement and the Administration Agreement.

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 and administration fees (the “management/administration 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/administration fee rates and total operating expenses.

The Fund 27



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

The Board members discussed the fund’s management/administration fee (which is the same combined management fee rate to be charged under the Amended Agreement) and expense ratio and reviewed the management/administration fee and total expense ratio as compared to those of the funds included in the Expense Group and Expense Universe.The Board members noted that the fund’s total expense ratio was lower than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians. The Board members further noted that the fund’s actual and contractual management/administration fees were lower than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians. Representatives of the Manager advised the Board members that the fund’s expense ratio shown in the comparison included fees (“Program Fees”) paid pursuant to the Treasury Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (which program and fees were no longer applicable) and that, while it was expected that the expense ratios of a number of the other funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe likely did as well (with variable effects that may be more or less than the effects on the fund’s expense ratios), the estimated increases in the fund’s expense ratio used in the comparison that would result from approval of the Amended Agreement were lower than the Program Fees reflected in such expense ratios. It was noted that, under the Current Agreement, the Manager had voluntarily waived a portion of its management fee for the reporting period pursuant to an undertaking. Although such undertaking is not contractual and may be terminated at any time, it is expected that, in the current interest rate environment, the Manager would continue to voluntarily waive a portion of its management fee.

Representatives of the Manager also 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, and included within the fund’s Lipper category (the “Similar Funds”). 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 fund. It was noted that the Similar Funds had comparable or higher management fees than the fee borne by the fund.The Board members

28



considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Funds to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fee under the Amended Agreement.

The Board considered the fees paid to the Manager under the Current Agreement and the Administration Agreement and the fee proposed to be paid to the Manager under the Amended Agreement, and discussed the relationship of the fees paid or proposed to be paid to the Manager in light of the services provided or proposed to be provided.The Board members also discussed the fund’s current unitary fee structure. The Manager’s representatives noted that the management fee proposed to be charged under the Amended Agreement was the same as the combined percentage charged under the Current Agreement and the Administration Agreement, but that the fund’s operating expenses would be itemized and separately charged to the fund under the terms of the Amended Agreement.The Manager’s representatives noted that the amended fee structure is more consistent with most other money market mutual funds advised by the Manager. While the fund’s total expenses will increase, they are not expected to increase materially as a result of these proposed changes and the structure should better allocate the risks and benefits of managing the funds.

The Board also reviewed reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund’s performance and comparisons of performance to a group of comparable funds that were composed of the same funds included in the Expense Group (the “Performance Group”) and to a broader group of funds (the “Performance Universe”). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons for various periods ended February 28, 2010. The Board members noted that the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for all periods, and the Board concluded that the investment performance of the fund supported approval of the Amended Agreement.

The Fund 29



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

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 profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the effect on profitability (which was expected to be minimal) resulting from the fund bearing expenses currently borne by the Manager pursuant to the Current Agreement. The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser, and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio. 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 the Manager’s profitability with respect to the Fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fund’s fee under the Amended Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services to be provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent and

30



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 not unreasonable given the services provided.The Board members also noted the Manager’s voluntary undertaking and its effect on the profitability of the Manager.

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 approval of the Amended Agreement.The Board concluded that the fee to be paid by the fund to the Manager under the Amended Agreement was reasonable in light of the services to be provided, comparative performance and fee and expense information, costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.

The Board considered these conclusions and determinations and, without any one factor being dispositive, determined that approval of the Amended Agreement for the fund was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

Dreyfus Institutional
Cash Advantage Plus Fund

The Fund


LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder:

This annual report for Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Plus Fund covers the 12-month period ended April 30, 2010. During the reporting period, the fund’s Administrative Advantage shares produced a yield of 0.18%, Participant Advantage shares produced a yield of 0.02%, Institutional Advantage shares produced a yield of 0.24% and Investor Advantage shares produced a yield of 0.06%. Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund’s Administrative Advantage shares, Participant Advantage shares, Institutional Advantage shares and Investor Advantage shares produced effective yields1 of 0.18%, 0.02%, 0.24% and 0.06%, respectively.2

Despite Recovery, Monetary Policy Remained Unchanged

The reporting period began near the start of a sustained economic recov-ery.The rebound was fueled, in part, by the Federal Reserve Board’s (the “Fed”) aggressive monetary policy, including an overnight federal funds rate that remained unchanged in a historically low range between 0.00% and 0.25%. Consequently, money market yields remained near zero percent throughout the reporting period. In addition, the U.S. government attempted to promote liquidity in the short-term credit market with the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds, which ended on September 18, 2009.

The U.S. economy contracted at a –0.7% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2009, a much milder decline than the previous quarter. This and other evidence of economic improvement early in the reporting period bolstered investor sentiment that the worst of the economic crisis was behind us.

Residential construction improved in July, and August saw the first expansion of manufacturing activity in more than 18 months. Consumer spending increased in August, due in part to the U.S. government’s Cash for Clunkers automobile purchasing program. In September, pending home sales reached their highest level since March 2007.

2



Positive news in October included a return to growth for the U.S. economy, with U.S. GDP expanding at a 2.2% annualized rate in the third quarter, its first quarterly gain in more than a year. However, the unemployment rate climbed to 10.2% in October, its highest level since the early 1980s. November saw moderating foreclosure rates, and in December the unemployment rate declined to 10% and monthly job losses moderated.

U.S. GDP grew at a 5.6% annualized rate during the fourth quarter of 2009. Although inventory rebuilding accounted for more than half of that gain, economists were encouraged in January 2010 by a better-than-expected improvement in retail sales. In addition, the unemployment rate fell to 9.7%, and job losses continued to moderate in January and February.

Manufacturing activity rose for the eighth straight month in March, and it did so at the fastest rate in almost six years.The employment situation improved, as 162,000 new jobs were created during the month while the unemployment rate held steady. However, the housing market continued to struggle, with existing home sales sliding –0.6% compared to the previous month.

Employment improved in April by the largest margin in approximately four years, even as workers returning to the labor market pushed the unemployment rate up to 9.9%. It was also announced during the month that U.S. GDP grew at an estimated 3.2% annualized rate during the first quarter of 2010, a far milder gain than similar stages of most previous recoveries.

Finally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued new regulations governing money market funds, many of which became effective in March 2010. According to the SEC, the “new rules are intended to increase the resilience of money market funds to economic stresses and reduce the risks of runs on the funds by tightening the maturity and credit quality standards and imposing new liquidity requirements.”These new regulations had relatively little impact on the fund, which historically has been conservatively managed.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (continued)

An Unwavering Focus on Quality

With few opportunities available for significant levels of current income, most money market funds maintained weighted maturities that were shorter than historical averages.The fund was no exception, as we set its weighted average maturity roughly in line with industry averages for most of the reporting period.

As the economy recovers, some analysts have begun to anticipate higher short-term interest rates. However, the Fed repeatedly has stated that economic conditions “are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period.” Concerns regarding the fragility of the credit markets seem to have eased, as the Fed discontinued certain market support programs at the end of March. As always, as we look for signs that the Fed is prepared to raise interest rates, we maintain the fund’s focus on credit quality and liquidity.

An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

Short-term corporate, asset-backed securities holdings and municipal securities holdings (as applicable), while rated in the highest rating category by one or more NRSRO (or unrated, if deemed of comparable quality by Dreyfus) involve credit and liquidity risks and risk of principal loss.

1 Effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Past performance is
  no guarantee of future results.Yields fluctuate.
2 Yields provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation
  pursuant to an undertaking in effect that may be extended, terminated or modified at any time.
  Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s yields for its Administrative Advantage shares,
  Participant Advantage shares, Institutional Advantage shares and Investor Advantage shares would
  have been lower, and in some cases, 7-day yields during the reporting period would have been
  negative absent the expense absorption.

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 Institutional Cash Advantage Plus Fund from November 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010. 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

  Institutional Administrative Investor Participant
  Advantage Advantage Advantage Advantage
Expenses paid per $1,000 $ .75 $ 1.10 $ 1.35 $ 1.40
Ending value (after expenses) $1,024.05 $1,023.70 $1,023.46 $1,023.41

† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .15% for Institutional Advantage, .22% for
Administrative Advantage, .27% for Investor Advantage and .28% for Participant Advantage, multiplied by the
average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Institutional Advantage, Administrative Advantage, Investor Advantage and Participant Advantage.Administrative Advantage, Investor Advantage and Participant Advantage shares are subject to a Service Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. 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.

As of April 30, 2010, MBC Investments Corp., an indirect subsidiary of BNY Mellon, held 29,599 Participant Advantage shares of the fund.

It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so.There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has become the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company 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 amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the Board of Trustees to represent the fair value of the fund’s investments.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

The Fund 17



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted
prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds,
credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:

  Short-Term
Valuation Inputs Investments ($)
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs 1,860,775,118
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs
Total 1,860,775,118

See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.

18



The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Manager, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the fund’s custodian and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities fall below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, 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 gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.

(d) 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.

As of and during the period ended April 30, 2010, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

The Fund 19



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended April 30, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At April 30, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.

The accumulated capital loss carryover of $1,771 is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to April 30, 2010. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2017.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2009 were all ordinary income.

At April 30, 2010, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

(e) Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program: The fund entered into a Guarantee Agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) to participate in the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”).

Under the Program, the Treasury guaranteed the share price of shares of the fund held by shareholders as of September 19, 2008 at $1.00 per share if the fund’s net asset value per share fell below $0.995 (a “Guarantee Event”) and the fund liquidated. Recovery under the Program was subject to certain conditions and limitations.

Fund shares acquired by investors after September 19, 2008 that increased the number of fund shares the investor held at the close of business on September 19, 2008 were not eligible for protection under the Program. In addition, fund shares acquired by investors who did not hold fund shares at the close of business on September 19, 2008 were not eligible for protection under the Program.

The Program, which was originally set to expire on December 18, 2008, was initially extended by the Treasury until April 30, 2009 and

20



had been further extended by the Treasury until September 18, 2009, at which time the Secretary of the Treasury terminated the Program. As such, the fund is no longer eligible for protection under the Program. Participation in the initial term and the extended periods of the Program required a payment to the Treasury in the amounts of .01%, .015% and .015%, respectively, of the fund’s shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 (valued at $1.00 per share). This expense was borne by the fund without regard to any expense limitation in effect.

NOTE 2—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .10% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager has agreed to pay the fund’s expenses, except management fees, administration fees, Rule 12b-1 fees, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses.

The Manager has undertaken to reimburse expenses in the event that current yields drop below a certain level. Such limitation may fluctuate daily, is voluntary and not contractual and may be terminated at any time.The reduction in expenses pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $1,198 for Investor Advantage shares and $51 for Participant Advantage shares during the period ended April 30, 2010.

On April 14, 2010, the Board approved a proposal to amend the fund’s management agreement so that certain operating expenses, currently borne by Dreyfus under the existing unitary fee structure, would be borne by the fund. The proposal was approved by shareholders at a meeting held on June 24, 2010.

(b) As compensation for the Manager’s services under the Administration Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Manager a monthly administration fee at the annual rate of .05% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.

(c) Under the fund’s Service Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, relating to its Administrative Advantage,

The Fund 21



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Investor Advantage, and Participant Advantage shares, the fund pays the Distributor for distributing such classes of shares and for advertising and marketing relating to such classes of shares and for providing certain services relating to shareholder accounts in such classes of shares, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts (“Servicing”), at an aggregate annual rate of .07%, .25% and .40% of the value of the average daily net assets of the fund’s Administrative Advantage, Investor Advantage and Participant Advantage shares, respectively. The Distributor may pay one or more Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) a fee in respect of the fund’s Administrative Advantage shares, Investor Advantage shares and Participant Advantage shares owned by shareholders with whom the Service Agent has a Servicing relationship or for whom the Service Agent is the dealer or holder of record.The Distributor determines the amounts, if any, to be paid to Service Agents under the Plan and the basis on which such payments are made.The fees payable under the Plan are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred. During the period ended April 30, 2010, the fund’s Administrative Advantage, Investor Advantage and Participant Advantage shares were charged $48, $4,714 and $118, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $164,818, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $665 and administration fees $84,045, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $343.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Plus Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Plus Fund (one of the series comprising Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Funds) as of April 30, 2010, 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 years 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.We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and 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 Institutional Cash Advantage Plus Fund at April 30, 2010, 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 years, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Funds (the “Company”) held on April 14, 2010 (the “April Board Meeting”), the Board approved, subject to the required shareholder approval described herein, the amended Management Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”), 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.The approval at the April Board Meeting was done in part by reference to information provided for and discussions during the July 14-15, 2009 meeting in connection with the Board’s annual evaluation and approval of the continuance of the current Management Agreement (the “Current Agreement”), as well as to information provided at subsequent Board meetings, including the April Board Meeting.

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided to the Fund. The Board members considered information previously provided to them in a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and representatives of the Manager confirmed that there had been no material changes in this information and that there would be no diminution in the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the fund as a result of the proposed changes.The Manager’s representatives referred to the presentation and reminded the Board members of the discussions about the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each.The Board noted that the fund’s shares were offered only to institutional investors. The Manager’s representatives reminded the Board of 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

The Fund 25



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

each distribution channel, including that of the fund. The Manager also provided 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.

The Board members then discussed the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the fund pursuant to the Amended Agreement, noting that no changes to the services currently provided under the Current Agreement and the Administration Agreement were proposed or expected to occur as a result of the change in the fund’s fee and expense structure.The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Manager to the fund are adequate and appropriate, and that changing the fund’s fee and expense arrangement from a unitary fee structure to an itemized fee structure and combining under one agreement the services provided by, and the management and administration fees payable to, the Manager would not effect the Manager’s ability to continue to provide services to the fund of the same scope and quality as provided under the Current Agreement and the Administration Agreement.

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 and administration fees (the “management/administration 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/administration fee rates and total operating expenses.

26



The Board members discussed the fund’s management/administration fee (which is the same combined management fee rate to be charged under the Amended Agreement) and expense ratio and reviewed the management/administration fee and total expense ratio as compared to those of the funds included in the Expense Group and Expense Universe.The Board members noted that the fund’s total expense ratio was lower than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians. The Board members further noted that, the fund’s contractual management/administration fee was below the Expense Group median, and the actual management/administration fee was fractionally above the Expense Group median and slightly below the Expense Universe median. Representatives of the Manager advised the Board members that the fund’s expense ratio shown in the comparison included fees (“Program Fees”) paid pursuant to the Treasury Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (which program and fees were no longer applicable) and that, while it was expected that the expense ratios of a number of the other funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe likely did as well (with variable effects that may be more or less than the effects on the fund’s expense ratios), the estimated increases in the fund’s expense ratio used in the comparison that would result from approval of the Amended Agreement were lower than the Program Fees reflected in such expense ratios. It was noted that, under the Current Agreement, the Manager had voluntarily waived a portion of its management fee for the reporting period pursuant to an undertaking.Although such undertaking is not contractual and may be terminated at any time, it is expected that, in the current interest rate environment, the Manager would continue to voluntarily waive a portion of its management fee.

Representatives of the Manager also 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, and included within the fund’s Lipper category (the “Similar Funds”). Representatives of the Manager also noted that

The Fund 27



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

there were no other accounts managed or sub-advised by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund. It was noted that the Similar Funds had comparable or higher management fees than the fee borne by the fund.The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Funds to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fee under the Amended Agreement.

The Board considered the fees paid to the Manager under the Current Agreement and the Administration Agreement and the fee proposed to be paid to the Manager under the Amended Agreement, and discussed the relationship of the fees paid or proposed to be paid to the Manager in light of the services provided or proposed to be provided.The Board members also discussed the fund’s current unitary fee structure. The Manager’s representatives noted that the management fee proposed to be charged under the Amended Agreement was the same as the combined percentage charged under the Current Agreement and the Administration Agreement, but that the fund’s operating expenses would be itemized and separately charged to the fund under the terms of the Amended Agreement.The Manager’s representatives noted that the amended fee structure is more consistent with most other money market mutual funds advised by the Manager. While the fund’s total expenses will increase, they are not expected to increase materially as a result of these proposed changes and the structure should better allocate the risks and benefits of managing the funds.

The Board also reviewed reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund’s performance and comparisons of performance to a group of comparable funds that were composed of the same funds included in the Expense Group (the “Performance Group”) and to a broader group of funds (the “Performance Universe”). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons for various periods ended February 28, 2010. The Board members noted that the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for all periods, and the Board concluded that the investment performance of the fund supported approval of the Amended Agreement.

28



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 com-plex.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 profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the effect on profitability (which was expected to be minimal) resulting from the fund bearing expenses currently borne by the Manager pursuant to the Current Agreement. The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser, and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio. 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 the Manager’s profitability with respect to the Fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fund’s fee under the Amended Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services to be 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

The Fund 29



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

was not unreasonable given the services provided.The Board members also noted the Manager’s voluntary undertaking and its effect on the profitability of the Manager.

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 approval of the Amended Agreement.The Board concluded that the fee to be paid by the fund to the Manager under the Amended Agreement was reasonable in light of the services to be provided, comparative performance and fee and expense information, costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.

The Board considered these conclusions and determinations and, without any one factor being dispositive, determined that approval of the Amended Agreement for the fund was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
