A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Inc., covering the six-month period from June 1, 2009, through November 30, 2009.

Evidence has continued to accumulate that the global recession is over and sustained economic recoveries have begun in the United States and worldwide. Central bank liquidity actions, accommodative monetary policies and economic stimulus programs in many different countries succeeded in calming the financial crisis, ending the recession and sparking the beginning of a global expansion.As 2009 draws to a close, economic policy remains stimulative in nearly every country in the world, and we expect these simultaneous stimuli to support a sustained but moderate global expansion in 2010.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has had a noticeable impact on the municipal bond market, helping to provide credit stability and aiding supply-and-demand dynamics. In addition, risk premiums have subsided and yield differences have steepened along the bond market’s maturity range.While lower-quality securities had led the broader financial markets’ advance as investors sought bargains in the wake of economic and market turbulence, higher-quality municipal bonds have exhibited improved fundamentals along with solid performance gains year-to-date. Is now a good time to consider allocating within municipal bonds? Talk to your financial advisor, who can help you make that determination and prepare for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

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

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of June 1, 2009, through November 30, 2009, as provided by Steven Harvey, Portfolio Manager

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended November 30, 2009, Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund achieved a total return of 4.23%.¹The Barclays Capital 7-Year Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.10% for the same period.²In addition, the average total return for all funds reported in the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category was 4.15%.³

Municipal bonds rallied over the reporting period as the U.S. economy and credit markets stabilized. The fund’s returns were higher than its benchmark and its Lipper category average, primarily due to strong results from medium- and high-quality bonds backed by dedicated revenue streams.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks the maximum amount of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal personal income tax.

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds rated A or higher, or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below A, including bonds rated below investment grade (“high yield” or “junk” bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. The dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio ranges between three and 10 years.

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and the municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments.We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically

The Fund 3

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices.A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation to either discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We also may look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

Municipal Bonds Rebounded with the U.S. Economy

In the wake of severe market declines through the end of 2008 stemming from a global financial crisis and recession, the municipal bond market rebounded sharply in 2009, including during the reporting period.The rally was fueled by changing investor sentiment as government and monetary authorities’ aggressive remedial measures—including historically low interest rates, injections of liquidity into the banking system, the rescues of major corporations and a massive economic stimulus program—gained traction.

Security Selection Strategy Bolstered Fund Returns

The reporting period saw market conditions normalize in the wake of a deep recession and severe banking crisis. As the municipal bond market recovered, some of the fund’s stronger performers included securities backed by dedicated revenues from hospitals, airports, prepaid contracts for natural gas, and the states’ settlement of litigation with U.S. tobacco companies.These investment-grade securities tended to be less sensitive to economic downturns than bonds backed by general taxes, and they attracted investors’attention as capital returned to the market.In addition, the fund benefited from our efforts to diversify its investments, which helped cushion market volatility.

Our interest rate strategies also proved relatively successful, as we had lengthened the fund’s average duration as credit conditions improved early in the period.This strategy included an emphasis on bonds with maturities in the 15- to 20-year range, which fared well due to steep yield differences along the market’s maturity spectrum. Later, we moved the fund’s average duration to a range we considered roughly

in line with its benchmark, shifting our focus to bonds with maturities in the 12- to 15-year range.

Despite some early signs of a modest economic recovery, most states and municipalities have continued to face fiscal challenges stemming from lower-than-projected tax receipts and greater demand for services. Consequently, we have intensified our focus on high-quality securities, upgrading the fund’s holdings whenever it was practical to do so.

Supply-and-Demand Factors Appear Favorable

With short-term interest rates expected to remain low for some time, we believe that credit conditions may be the dominant influence on market sentiment over the foreseeable future. Therefore, we have maintained the fund’s generally conservative posture with regard to security selection.

Still, we are cautiously optimistic regarding the prospects for municipal bonds.The supply of newly issued municipal bonds has fallen significantly so far in 2009 compared to one year ago as the Build America Bonds program, part of the economic stimulus package, has diverted a substantial portion of new issuance to the taxable bond market. Meanwhile, demand for municipal bonds has intensified from individual and institutional investors. We expect this positive supply-and-demand dynamic to persist into 2010.

	guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon
	redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may be subject

	(AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable. Return figure provided reflects
	the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an undertaking
	which was terminated on August 1, 2009. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s
	return would have been lower.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to provide the maximum amount of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.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. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

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 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 each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Directors. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such

The Fund 35

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

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.

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.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2009 in valuing the fund’s investments:


	Level 1—	Level 2—Other	Level 3—
	Unadjusted	Significant	Significant
	Quoted	Observable	Unobservable
	Prices	Inputs	Inputs	Total
Assets ($)
Investments in Securities:
Municipal Bonds	—	800,438,680	—	800,438,680

(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. Securities purchased or sold on a when issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

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

(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. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

The Fund 37

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended November 30, 2009, 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.

Each of the tax years in the three-year period ended May 31, 2009 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $9,303,951 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to May 31, 2009. If not applied, $3,876,984 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2011, $1,514,192 expires in fiscal 2016 and $3,912,775 expires in fiscal 2017.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 was as follows: tax exempt income $30,677,695 and ordinary income $4,309.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participated with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $145 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Effective October 14, 2009, the $145 million unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A.,

was increased to $215 million and effective December 10, 2009 was further increased to $225 million. The fund continues participation in the $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended November 30, 2009, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

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 .60% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Manager had undertaken from June 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009 to reduce the management fee paid by the fund, to the extent that the fund’s aggregate annual expenses, exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings, commitment fees and extraordinary expenses, exceeded an annual rate of .75% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertak-ing,amounted to $19,114 during the period ended November 30,2009.

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund reimburses the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquires regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended November 30, 2009, the fund was charged $200,389 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The Fund 39

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

During the period ended November 30, 2009, the fund was charged $123,261 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.

The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a cash management agreement for performing cash management services related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended November 30, 2009, the fund was charged $14,257 pursuant to the cash management agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.These fees were offset by earnings credits pursuant to the cash management agreement.

The fund also compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement to provide custodial services for the fund. During the period ended November 30, 2009, the fund was charged $36,433 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended November 30, 2009, the fund was charged $3,341 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

(c) 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 November 30, 2009, amounted to $82,901,815 and $74,244,606, respectively.

The fund adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The fund held no derivatives during the period ended November 30, 2009. These disclosures did not impact the notes to the financial statements.

At November 30, 2009, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $25,274,161, consisting of $32,479,187 gross unrealized appreciation and $7,205,026 gross unrealized depreciation.

At November 30, 2009, 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).

NOTE 5—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 other than the increase in the Citibank, N.A. Facility to $225 million as noted in Note 2.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL

OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors held on November 9-10, 2009, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period of the fund’s Management 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 fund, 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 considered information previously provided to them in a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus complex, and representatives of the Manager confirmed that there had been no material changes in the information. The Board also 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. The Board members also considered the Manager’s extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructure.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Management Fee and 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 and total operating expenses.

The Board members also reviewed the reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund’s performance for various periods ended September 30, 2009, as well as comparisons of total return performance for various periods ended September 30, 2009 and yield performance for one-year periods ended September 30th for the fund to the same group of funds as the Expense Group (the “Performance Group”) and to a group of funds that was broader than the Expense Universe (the “Performance Universe”) that also were selected by Lipper. The Manager previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the fund’s Expense Group and Expense Universe, and Performance Group and Performance Universe. The Manager also provided a comparison of the fund’s total return to the fund’s Lipper category average return for each of the past 10 calendar years.

The Board reviewed the results of the Expense Group and Expense Universe comparisons that were prepared based on financial statements currently available to Lipper as of September 30, 2009. 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 contractual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and the fund’s actual management fee was higher than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians. The Board also noted that the fund’s total expense ratio was at the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.

With respect to the fund’s performance, the Board noted that the fund’s total return performance was higher than the Performance Group median for the reported 1-year period, at the Performance Group median for the 2-year period, and lower than the Performance Group median for each longer-term time period up to 10 years.The

The Fund 43

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE

FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

Board also noted that the fund’s total return performance was variously higher and lower than the Performance Universe median for each reported time period up to 10 years. The Board further noted that the fund’s total return was lower than the fund’s Lipper category average return for 6 of the past 10 calendar years (but higher in 3 of the past 4 calendar years).The Board noted the fund’s improved relative total return performance over the past two years.

On a yield performance basis, the Board noted that the fund’s 1-year yield performance for the past 10 annual periods was at or higher than the Performance Group median for 7 of the 10 annual periods and higher than the Performance Universe median for each of the past 10 annual periods.

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 that were reported in the same Lipper category as the fund (the “Similar Funds”), and explained the nature of the Similar Funds and any differences, from the Manager’s perspective, in providing services to the Similar Funds as compared to the fund.The Manager’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board analyzed differences in fees paid to the Manager and discussed the relationship of the management fees paid in light of the services provided. 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. Representatives of the Manager noted that there were no similarly managed institutional separate accounts or wrap fee accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates 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 such

expenses and profit. The Board considered information, previously provided and discussed, 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 considered that the methodology had also 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 change in the fund’s asset size from the prior year,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 and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 fees under the Management Agreement bear a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent, and quality of such services and that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been decreasing, the possibility that the Manager may have realized any economies of scale would be less. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within the range 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 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

The Fund 45

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE

FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board reached the following conclusions and determinations.

The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the ser- vices provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate.
The Board was satisfied with the fund’s performance, noting in partic- ular the improved relative total return results over the past two years.
The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative perfor- mance and expense and management 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 con- nection with the management fee rate charged to the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were to be 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.
